Automatic monitoring of calf behaviour is a promising way of assessing animal welfare from their first week on farms. This study aims to (i) develop machine learning models from accelerometer data to classify the main behaviours of pre-weaned calves and (ii) set up a digital tool for monitoring the behaviour of pre-weaned calves from the models’ pr...

Agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AAD) is a troubling condition experienced by many of the 6.9 million people living with Alzheimer's disease in the United States. The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) initially published an evidence-based care pathway to treat this condition, Agitation in Alzheimer's Disease: A Decision Tree for Healthcare P...
Populations undergoing extensive and rapid socio-economic transitions including historically disadvantaged communities face an increased risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D). In recent years, sedentary behavior and physical inactivity have been considered modifiable determinants when developing primary prevention programs to reduce T2D incidence. Reunion ...
Cortical neurons store information across different timescales, from seconds to years. Although information stability is variable across regions, it can vary within a region as well. Association areas are known to multiplex behaviorally relevant variables, but the stability of their representations is not well understood. Here, we longitudinally re...

Most effective interventions to control coronary heart disease (CHD) and prevent negative outcomes involve behavioral modification. This study examined how such modification based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) might improve lifestyle and clinical outcomes. A total of 120 people with CHD seeking help at a general hospital in Iran were randomly as...
Developmental exposures to PCBs are implicated in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). This observation is concerning given the continued presence of PCBs in the human environment and the increasing incidence of NDDs. Previous studies reported that developmental exposure to legacy commercial PCB mixtures (Aroclors) or single PCB con...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early decline in episodic and spatial memory, associated with accumulation of brain markers. Intriguingly, despite similar levels of brain alteration, some elderly subjects show less cognitive impairment than others. To explain this lack of correlation between ...
peer reviewed / Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disabling disease of the central nervous system affecting over 2.5 million people worldwide. Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelinating disease (TMEV-IDD) is a murine model that reproduces the progressive form of MS and serves as a reference model for studying virus-induced de...
L'objectif de cette recherche a été de créer et de valider une échelle quadridimensionnelle de la distance psychologique à l'égard d'une maladie, dans le cas de la pandémie de Covid-19. Après une phase qualitative, deux études quantitatives ont été menées auprès de 1668 puis 1123 Français et une troisième étude quantitative a été conduite auprès de...

Rapid urbanization and population growth in Northern Vietnam have exacerbated in domestic solid waste (DSW), posing environmental challenges. Law on environmental protection (2020) promoting source separation, a disconnect persists between policy and public action. This study addresses this gap by employing a Knowledge, Attitude, and Behavior (KAB)...
