Despite established natural phenotypic variation in response to water-related stresses, the genetic basis of this resilience remains poorly understood, hindering precision breeding for single and combined stress tolerance. A genome-wide association study was conducted here to investigate the genetic architecture of water stress responses in grass pea. Previously, phenotypic data, including gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence, photosynthetic pigments, leaf water status, and biomass partitioning traits, were assessed under well-watered, mild drought, and partial submergence conditions across 194 representative grass pea accessions worldwide. The data were associated with 5,651 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using linear mixed models under a restricted maximum likelihood framework, incorporating population structure and the newly assembled L0007 genome. A total of 130 unique SNPs associated with at least one trait-treatment combination or with trait variation between stress and control conditions, providing a valuable resource for precision breeding of multi-stress tolerance in grass pea. The loci associated with drought and waterlogging were largely non-overlapping, suggesting distinct genetic bases for the two stress tolerances. However, some common mechanisms, such as redox regulation and carbohydrate metabolism, emerged among the identified candidate genes, highlighting some interconnectedness of biological pathways involved in grass pea responses to water stress. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNXZ57XNWQEEVMPX1DEGMZER http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNXZ57XNWQEEVMPX1DEGMZER http://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-026-08229-y https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNXZ57XNWQEEVMPX1DEGMZER/file/01KNY02YY3GR2AHNT611K27W10 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess BMC PLANT BIOLOGY ISSN: 1471-2229 Biology and Life Sciences Lathyrus sativus GWAS Genotype–phenotype association Water deficit Waterlogging LATHYRUS-SATIVUS L.

Sharma, Gauri 2026 Untargeted neutral hydrogen (HI) surveys are well suited to identifying low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) that are gas rich, and they offer a complementary view to optically selected populations. We examined the LSBG population as identified via stellar and gaseous content using the MIGHTEE HI XMM-LSS early science data and the publicly available catalogs of optically identified LSBGs. There is currently little overlap between these datasets, with only three galaxies commonly detected. We performed surface brightness photometry of selected MIGHTEE HI detections to find 29 LSBGs, and 26 of these meet the size requirement (Reff > 1.5 kpc) to be ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). Furthermore, we extracted HI spectra at the location of all optically identified galaxies, placing upper limits on the HI-to-stellar mass ratio in these systems. While the HI-identified population overall tends toward bluer colors, the HI-identified and the optically selected samples mostly overlap in mean effective surface brightness, effective radii, and color. Although it is not straightforward to discern why the HI-identified LSBGs were missed in optical searches, this work highlights the utility of HI surveys in finding these faint systems. The HI-identified LSBGs are gas rich compared to the general HI-selected population. Furthermore, three out of four HI-selected UDGs with available kinematics show no systematic offset from the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, although we are biased away from sources with low rotational velocities due to the low spectral resolution of the data. This work demonstrates the utility of HI observations for finding and characterizing the low surface brightness Universe. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNS34R7FYYPBNZFP5MNWKDPY http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNS34R7FYYPBNZFP5MNWKDPY http://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202557163 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNS34R7FYYPBNZFP5MNWKDPY/file/01KNS3F52WDZS4X755Y54VZ4W2 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS ISSN: 0004-6361 ISSN: 1432-0746 Physics and Astronomy galaxies: dwarf galaxies: general galaxies: ISM galaxies: photometry TULLY-FISHER RELATION ULTRADIFFUSE GALAXIES SCALING RELATIONS ASTROPY PROJECT LIGHT MASS CATALOG PACKAGE CLUSTER MIGHTEE H I observations of low surface brightness and ultra-diffuse galaxies in the XMM-LSS field journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Does Metagovernance Matter?

Building on insights from intersection theory, we analyze the large-& varepsilon; limit of dimensional regularization on the maximal cut, showing that total derivatives vanish on the critical locus of the logarithm of the Baikov polynomial - the locus known to govern the number of master integrals. We introduce "critical syzygies" as a distinguished subset of syzygies that captures this behavior. We show that, when the critical locus is isolated, critical syzygies generate a sufficient set of total derivatives in the large-& varepsilon; limit. We study their structure analytically at one loop and develop a numerical approach for their construction at two loops. Our results demonstrate that critical syzygies are a valuable tool for integral reduction in cutting-edge two-loop examples, offering a novel geometric perspective on integration-by-parts relations. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNF7KM9Z5PHQNYJH96P2PQ55 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNF7KM9Z5PHQNYJH96P2PQ55 http://doi.org/10.1007/jhep02(2026)004 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNF7KM9Z5PHQNYJH96P2PQ55/file/01KP3NT51YWZSJ0SAY3MYP5BFR eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS ISSN: 1029-8479 Physics and Astronomy Differential and Algebraic Geometry Higgs Production Scattering Amplitudes DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATIONS PARTS Critical points and syzygies for Feynman integrals journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The conquest of literacy https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3NDSM95P846HVZWYZP976R Verbaal, Wim 2024 <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This contribution attempts to problematize the concept of vernacularization during the Western Middle Ages.

Du Prez, Filip 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-12 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-12 Abiotic sequence-defined macromolecules (SDMs) offer unique opportunities for precision molecular design, yet their broader adoption and utilization remain limited by the lack of general and efficient workflows that unify iterative synthesis and purification across chemically diverse structures. Here we report a platform that combines soluble-support SDM growth with solvent-resistant nanofiltration (SRNF) and demonstrate its implementation within multiple synthesis protocols. The reaction and purification steps are performed in a single solvent and reactor, enabling high membrane flux and operational simplicity. All SDMs are synthesized on uniform soluble supports bearing cleavable linkers and long alkyl chains, ensuring efficient membrane retention and broad applicability. The platform is validated for thiolactone-, oligo(amide)-, and oligo(carbamate)-based SDMs, including hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic structures. In addition, a bidirectional growth strategy compatible with the same purification methodology reduces the number of reaction steps and accelerates the SDM preparation. Overall, this work establishes a robust, automation-compatible approach for integrated abiotic SDM synthesis and purification, enabling efficient access to chemically diverse sequence-defined macromolecular structures. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9AWQF1628Y9R42PWBXVXX3 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN9AWQF1628Y9R42PWBXVXX3 http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.6c00201 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9AWQF1628Y9R42PWBXVXX3/file/01KN9B989Y8SVHE7VRR1WHJZCQ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9AWQF1628Y9R42PWBXVXX3/file/01KN9CN6P499H638PKGHTQRBHX https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9AWQF1628Y9R42PWBXVXX3/file/01KN9B989Y8SVHE7VRR1WHJZCQ eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess MACROMOLECULES ISSN: 0024-9297 ISSN: 1520-5835 Chemistry MEMBRANES PHASE SUSTAINABILITY OLIGOMERS RECOVERY Integrated synthesis and purification of chemically diverse abiotic sequence-defined macromolecules via solvent-resistant nanofiltration journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Filtering for truth : high-precision taxonomic classification in nanopore shotgun metagenomics data through a KMA-based bioinformatic pipeline (KAPTAIN) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN98D4YB8DK9HYFAX1EKCV7B Van Uffelen, Alexander Gobbo, Andrea Fraiture, Marie-Alice Posadas Yabar, Andres Roosens, Nancy H. C. Marchal, Kathleen De Keersmaecker, Sigrid C. J. Vanneste, Kevin 2026 Background Shotgun metagenomics enables to study microbial communities without biases from culturing and isolation, but taxonomic classification to the species level remains challenging due to high false positive rates. Oxford Nanopore Technologies offers new opportunities to address these challenges by producing longer reads. However, different pipelines and tools use different methods to reduce false positives, resulting in variable outcomes with limited exploration of what works best in practice. Relative abundance filtering is often used to improve precision by removing false positives but reduces also recall by removing true positives. In this study, we optimized a broadly applicable taxonomic classification pipeline for long-read nanopore sequencing data that improves precision. The pipeline uses the tool KMA as the underlying classifier, followed by specific post-processing and optimization of filtering thresholds. Based on ten defined mock communities, different filter thresholds were evaluated, alongside the effect of the sequencing yield and the limit of detection (LOD). Results Our optimized pipeline substantially outperformed default classifier settings, and the conventionally used relative abundance filtering. Classification accuracy improved with higher sequencing yields, requiring at least a post-filtering yield of 500M bases, and ideally 1000M bases, for reliable results. At yields above 1000M bases, median precision could be improved up to 95% while maintaining median recall at 91.62%. Further increasing median precision to 99% reduced recall to 79.08%. Similarly, higher sequencing yields lowered LOD. For yields above 1000 M bases, the limit of detection remained stable at 0.1% up to a median precision of 95%, while yields below 1000M showed an LOD of 1%. Validation on ten probiotic-derived mock communities confirmed the pipeline's performance and general applicability. Conclusion Our optimized classification pipeline for nanopore sequencing data provides substantially higher precision compared to default approaches and is suitable for diverse metagenomic applications. We provide specific guidance on expected recall and precision values for minimum sequencing yields and their associated LODs.

To achieve this, the organ's angle with respect to gravity drives the asymmetric redistribution of the plant hormone auxin and consequently differential elongation, thus creating a curvature of the organ. In addition to efflux transporters, the auxin influx transporter AUXIN RESISTANT 1 (AUX1) is essential for auxin redistribution during root gravitropism. Here, we show that the F-box protein SLOMO regulates AUX1 via two distinct mechanisms. First, SLOMO promotes proteolytic degradation of AUX1, possibly in an indirect manner. Second, SLOMO controls the ubiquitination of K261, K264, and K266, thus potentially affecting AUX1 auxin transport properties that are regulated by these residues. This reveals a dual mode of SLOMO-mediated regulation of AUX1, including a novel, non-proteolytic role for SLOMO-mediated ubiquitination in addition to SLOMO-mediated degradation of AUX1. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNXXN742YPX19DGSXTDY1G3Z http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNXXN742YPX19DGSXTDY1G3Z http://doi.org/10.1038/s44318-026-00746-8 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNXXN742YPX19DGSXTDY1G3Z/file/01KP3N7QD66EDJZ2VN1CABZ9WK eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EMBO JOURNAL ISSN: 0261-4189 ISSN: 1460-2075 Biology and Life Sciences Auxin F-box Protein Gravitropism Root Ubiquitination F-BOX PROTEINS MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS ARABIDOPSIS ROOTS SOFTWARE NEWS TRANSPORT PIN2 GENES TRAFFICKING EXPRESSION REGULATOR Dual ubiquitin signalling by SLOMO controls AUX1 activity and turnover during root gravitropism journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Toward a theory of value as praxis : linking public values and public value https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNKYBHBYK62ZKV5W4G144C37 Zaki, Bishoy 2026 Literature on value developed along two influential interpretations: public values as normative expectations about policymaking and governance and public value expressing added or lost benefits experienced through public action. Although normatively linked, these interpretations evolved as separate streams, limiting conceptual clarity and cumulative analysis. In response, this article develops "value as praxis" as an analytical framework that treats the relationship between public value and public values as a translation-and-mediation process. It specifies how public values travel from articulation and prioritization to encoding within rules and resources, embedding in organizational and sociotechnical arrangements, enactment in design and implementation, and eventually experiences of "value" or "disvalue" in the form of benefits and burdens. The framework illustrates this translation-and-mediation process across five recurring process groups (families of mechanisms): institutional, regulatory, sociotechnical, design, and learning. It offers a basis for studying value creation, destruction, and disvalue, and for diagnosing where the translation of public values into public value breaks down across contexts and populations. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNKYBHBYK62ZKV5W4G144C37 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNKYBHBYK62ZKV5W4G144C37 http://doi.org/10.1111/puar.70126 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNKYBHBYK62ZKV5W4G144C37/file/01KNKYC1JKSBWMQ447EHH3KWKF https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNKYBHBYK62ZKV5W4G144C37/file/01KNKYC1JKSBWMQ447EHH3KWKF eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REVIEW ISSN: 0033-3352 ISSN: 1540-6210 Business and Economics public management public policy public value public values value as praxis E-GOVERNMENT POLICY PARTICIPATION EUROPE ETHICS Toward a theory of value as praxis : linking public values and public value journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Afrikanische Trypanosomiasis https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MXH9F56K8P59M9V72AJ2S Magez, Stefan Nguyen, Thi Thu Hang Torres, Joar Esteban Pinto Radwanska, Magdalena 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MXH9F56K8P59M9V72AJ2S http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MXH9F56K8P59M9V72AJ2S http://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-4312-4_12 und Springer Nature Singapore Lehrbuch der parasitären Zoonosen ISBN: 9789819743117 ISBN: 9789819743124 Afrikanische Trypanosomiasis bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Anatomical exploration of Vipera ammodytes (family Viperidae) horn supports cephalic appendage sensory function in non-aquatic snakes https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9YQXMZM0DV3A3G4W2BEH3Z Banfi, Federico Gignac, Paul M.

De Kegel, Barbara Adriaens, Dominique Van Damme, Raoul 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-09-01 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-09-01 Several snakes possess cephalic appendages over their eyes and snouts, but their exact function remains largely unknown. In one aquatic species, such structures have been associated with a mechanosensory role, and this suggests that other horned snakes may have evolved analogous appendages. To be considered sensory structures, cephalic appendages should be highly innervated by specific cranial nerves like the trigeminal, and perhaps carry specialised integumentary sense organs. The identification of trigeminal branches reaching the cephalic appendages would be consistent with sensory capability of the structures. Here we tested whether the rostral appendage of the nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) could serve such a sensory function. We conducted an integrative anatomical exploration of the species' head and appendage using a combination of diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced micro computed tomography, classical histology and scanning electron microscopy and found support for our initial hypothesis. The rostral appendage of V. ammodytes is highly innervated by the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, and we also found dermal sensory organs over the snake' snout and appendage scales. These findings suggest that a sensory function for cephalic appendages could also be possible in non-aquatic species, hinting that more analogous sensory structures may have evolved across horned snakes and other reptile groups. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9YQXMZM0DV3A3G4W2BEH3Z http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN9YQXMZM0DV3A3G4W2BEH3Z http://doi.org/10.1111/joa.70132 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9YQXMZM0DV3A3G4W2BEH3Z/file/01KN9YVSTHRT8PT6HP0BHQ62Y2 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN9YQXMZM0DV3A3G4W2BEH3Z/file/01KN9YVSTHRT8PT6HP0BHQ62Y2 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess JOURNAL OF ANATOMY ISSN: 0021-8782 ISSN: 1469-7580 Biology and Life Sciences reptile snake sensory 3D anatomy functional morphology SEM mechanosensation cranial nerves diceCT histology sense organs sensory ecology trigeminal LEAF-NOSED SNAKE RATTLESNAKE PREY MECHANORECEPTORS CORPUSCLES VIBRATIONS SERPENTES BEHAVIOR SINUSES ORGANS Anatomical exploration of Vipera ammodytes (family Viperidae) horn supports cephalic appendage sensory function in non-aquatic snakes journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Conservation and divergence of WOX functions in regenerative responses across land plants https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV Doll, Yuki Beeckman, Tom Ikeuchi, Momoko 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-24 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-24 Land plants have evolved diverse regenerative responses as survival strategies. Recent functional analyses using model species from various lineages reveal that plants utilize a common set of transcription factors as a toolkit to achieve tissue repair and organ regeneration. It is still unknown how the functional diversification of these molecular toolkits has enabled the specific cellular and developmental reprogramming observed in each plant lineage. In this article, we focus on the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) family as key regulators of organ regeneration in land plants and discuss their functions in stem cell formation and tissue repair processes. We especially highlight the regulatory role of WOXs in controlling cell wall properties, which appears to be associated with stem cell function in alternative ways in the different plant lineages. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV http://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.2026.102882 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV/file/01KNSE4PSCVT40VKN7WWH4X3YV https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV/file/01KP3MXCWXJTGAJQ8YMCQYCYFZ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSDPE86E8JT2FKSNTDJS2NV/file/01KNSE4PSCVT40VKN7WWH4X3YV eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess CURRENT OPINION IN PLANT BIOLOGY ISSN: 1369-5266 ISSN: 1879-0356 Biology and Life Sciences CELL FATE ROOT REGENERATION BABY-BOOM WUSCHEL SHOOT GENE LEAF TRANSFORMATION TRIGGERS MERISTEM Conservation and divergence of WOX functions in regenerative responses across land plants journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A Public Health Approach to Integrate Palliative Care into a Country’s Health-Care System: Guidance as Provided by the WHO https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MF77YXMG8E74RK33ND7C9 Maetens, Arno Cohen, Joachim Harding, Richard 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MF77YXMG8E74RK33ND7C9 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MF77YXMG8E74RK33ND7C9 http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48991-4_122 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Textbook of Palliative Care ISBN: 9783031489907 ISBN: 9783031489914 A Public Health Approach to Integrate Palliative Care into a Country’s Health-Care System: Guidance as Provided by the WHO bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion An Introduction to Belgian Animal Welfare Law https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MT0V1PCPS8F85300WSQ98 Verniers, Elien 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MT0V1PCPS8F85300WSQ98 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MT0V1PCPS8F85300WSQ98 http://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-6265-643-7_1 eng T.M.C.

In an auto-ethnographical way, I examine how personal crisis, broader institutional pressures, and pedagogical commitments have shaped my current approach to teaching. I begin by analysing the Covid-19 pandemic as a pivotal moment that affected both my personal life and my role as an educator. I then situate these experiences within a decade of establishing, running, and teaching in an interdisciplinary Master’s programme in Gender and Diversity. Finally, I reflect on my recent reintegration into academic work following a period of absence and offer insights from a newly developed course. I suggest that crisis, trauma, and rest – individually and collectively – can open possibilities for healing, connection, resilience, and resistance in the feminist classroom, particularly within a field that is increasingly contested and vulnerable. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNV5CZN5C6JRFHYMJR5RG2GQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNV5CZN5C6JRFHYMJR5RG2GQ http://doi.org/10.1177/13505068261439010 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNV5CZN5C6JRFHYMJR5RG2GQ/file/01KNV5M58A31GZE405RGDRW15E https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNV5CZN5C6JRFHYMJR5RG2GQ/file/01KNV5M58A31GZE405RGDRW15E eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF WOMENS STUDIES ISSN: 1350-5068 ISSN: 1461-7420 Social Sciences auto-ethnography feminist pedagogy post-separation abuse rest as resistance trauma Rest as resistance in the feminist classroom?

Wybouw, Nicky Tagami, Yohsuke 2025 Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) drives maternally transmitted endosymbionts such as Wolbachia through insect populations by inducing embryonic mortality when infected males fertilize uninfected females. CI is controlled by Wolbachia cif operons that are categorized into multiple phylogenetic types. CI strength is further shaped by poorly understood host factors, including development and genetic background. To study the strength of CI across different host species, we genotyped a Japanese field population of Liriomyza sativae. By uncovering paternal transmission of Wolbachia genic elements, we collected strong evidence of horizontal genome transfer, including Type I and Type V cif operons, from Wolbachia into the nuclear genome of L. sativae. We established a transinfection of wLtri in L. sativae, a Wolbachia variant that induces strong CI in Liriomyza trifolii. No CI was observed in both intraspecific and interspecific reciprocal crosses with L. trifolii, suggesting that both uninfected females and infected males of L. sativae completely suppress wLtri-mediated CI. Our results raise the appealing hypothesis that host suppression of Wolbachia-induced CI might evolve owing to horizontal transfer of cif operons into the host nuclear genome. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDR2CNCAJE4XW391B88V78 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNYDR2CNCAJE4XW391B88V78 http://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.242137 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDR2CNCAJE4XW391B88V78/file/01KP3MQQTM3H4HYSMVZNAYX5E7 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE ISSN: 2054-5703 Biology and Life Sciences endosymbiosis cytoplasmic incompatibility reproductive manipulation horizontal gene transfer suppressor HORIZONTAL GENE-TRANSFER INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION EVOLUTION DIPTERA TRIFOLII HOST CHROMOSOME PROTEIN ENDOSYMBIONTS AGROMYZIDAE Suppression of cytoplasmic incompatibility in the leaf-mining fly Liriomyza sativae with a nuclear Wolbachia insert journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reciprocal host-Wolbachia interactions shape infection persistence upon loss of cytoplasmic incompatibility in haplodiploids https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDNE82PHYCGR2G6ZVDH5D0 Pereira, Felipe Kauai Wybouw, Nicky 2025 Maternally transmitted symbionts such as Wolbachia spread within host populations by mediating reproductive phenotypes. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is a reproductive phenotype that interferes with embryonal development when infected males fertilize uninfected females. Wolbachia-based pest control relies on strong CI to suppress or replace pest populations. Host genetic background determines CI strength, and host suppressors that cause weak CI threaten the efficacy of Wolbachia-based pest control programs. In haplodiploids, CI embryos either die (Female Mortality, FM-CI) or develop into uninfected males (Male Development, MD-CI). The reciprocal spread of host suppressors and infection, as well as the interaction with the two CI outcomes in haplodiploids, remains poorly understood. The contribution of sex allocation distortion (Sd), an independent Wolbachia-mediated reproductive phenotype that causes a female-biased sex ratio, to infection persistence in haplodiploids is also poorly understood, especially with imperfect maternal transmission. To address these issues, we developed individual-based simulations and validated this computational tool by tracking Wolbachia spread in experimental Tetranychus urticae populations and by contrasting infection dynamics with deterministic mathematical models. Within similar to 14 host generations, we found that deterministic models inflate infection frequencies relative to simulations by similar to 8.1% and overestimate the driving potential of CI, particularly under low initial infection frequencies. Compared to MD-CI, we show that FM-CI strongly extends infection persistence when nuclear suppressors are segregating in the population. We also quantify how maternal transmission modulates the reciprocal spread of suppressors and infection. Upon loss of CI, we show that hypomorphic expression of Sd (similar to 5%) is sufficient for a stable persistence of infection. We derive a mathematical expression that approximates the stable polymorphic infection frequencies that can be maintained by Sd. Collectively, our results advance our understanding of how symbiosis with CI-inducing Wolbachia and haplodiploid hosts might evolve and inform CI-based pest control programs of potential future risks. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDNE82PHYCGR2G6ZVDH5D0 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNYDNE82PHYCGR2G6ZVDH5D0 http://doi.org/10.1111/eva.70138 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDNE82PHYCGR2G6ZVDH5D0/file/01KP3MHRZXT8MYMA946K0H40XK eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EVOLUTIONARY APPLICATIONS ISSN: 1752-4571 Biology and Life Sciences cytoplasmic incompatibility haplodiploidy host suppression mutualism reproductive symbiosis TETRANYCHUS-URTICAE ACARI MITES ACARI ENDOSYMBIONT EVOLUTION POPULATIONS DIVERSITY SELECTION DYNAMICS AGE Reciprocal host-Wolbachia interactions shape infection persistence upon loss of cytoplasmic incompatibility in haplodiploids journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Disrupted agency, objects, and intimations of the posthuman in first-person narrative https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNEZ0RM48DQ2WRGVXG2AS1PA Caracciolo, Marco 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-04-05 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-04-05 Combining cognitive and object-oriented narratology, this article explores the significance of objects in the context of first-person narrative told by narrators who experience hallucinations or other altered mental states. I start by examining the cognitive-level propensities that underlie the distinction between subjective agency and the presumed passivity of matter. I then turn to three literary examples of how these propensities can be challenged in first-person narrative: Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of horror "The Black Cat" (1843), H. P. Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Out of Time (1936), and Julio Cort & aacute;zar's short story "Headache" (1951). The visions of the nonhuman staged by these narratives don't objectify the narrators' subjectivity but rather raise a radical challenge to dualistic conceptions of human mind and agency. I argue that these narratives use literary form and metaphor to open up the notion of agency in ways that resonate with posthumanist philosophy. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNEZ0RM48DQ2WRGVXG2AS1PA http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNEZ0RM48DQ2WRGVXG2AS1PA http://doi.org/10.1007/s11059-026-00850-y https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNEZ0RM48DQ2WRGVXG2AS1PA/file/01KNEZ3SQDEBGR9J26MWAR0QF7 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNEZ0RM48DQ2WRGVXG2AS1PA/file/01KNEZ3SQDEBGR9J26MWAR0QF7 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess NEOHELICON ISSN: 0324-4652 ISSN: 1588-2810 Social Sciences Posthumanism Hallucination Materiality Cognition Narratology Disrupted agency, objects, and intimations of the posthuman in first-person narrative journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion The Role of Family Factors in Eating Disorders https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3M8Q4Y5YJZCJPAPJTGV6NX Van Malderen, Eva De Coen, Jolien Taquet, Juliette Goossens, Lien 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3M8Q4Y5YJZCJPAPJTGV6NX http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3M8Q4Y5YJZCJPAPJTGV6NX http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-46096-8_26 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Eating Disorders ISBN: 9783031460951 ISBN: 9783031460968 The Role of Family Factors in Eating Disorders bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The European Union Discovers Geopolitics https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MA23N018K7WA4ZXK9BKBM Biscop, Sven 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MA23N018K7WA4ZXK9BKBM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MA23N018K7WA4ZXK9BKBM http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-47227-5_13 eng Springer Nature Switzerland The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Geopolitics ISBN: 9783031472268 ISBN: 9783031472275 The European Union Discovers Geopolitics bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Public Health and Epidemiological Research in Palliative Care https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MC72DWS7VP4G7DYA3JE8P Pivodic, Lara Cohen, Joachim 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MC72DWS7VP4G7DYA3JE8P http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MC72DWS7VP4G7DYA3JE8P http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48991-4_106 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Textbook of Palliative Care ISBN: 9783031489907 ISBN: 9783031489914 Public Health and Epidemiological Research in Palliative Care bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ethics in Palliative Care Research https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MDANKZZHSC54FT0PR1RBJ Raus, Kasper 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MDANKZZHSC54FT0PR1RBJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MDANKZZHSC54FT0PR1RBJ http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48991-4_110 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Textbook of Palliative Care ISBN: 9783031489907 ISBN: 9783031489914 Ethics in Palliative Care Research bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Evidence-Based Practice in Palliative Care https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3ME83ZN625VG90Z0WAHM0C Van den Block, Lieve Vandevoorde, Jan Pype, Peter 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3ME83ZN625VG90Z0WAHM0C http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3ME83ZN625VG90Z0WAHM0C http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48991-4_111 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Textbook of Palliative Care ISBN: 9783031489907 ISBN: 9783031489914 Evidence-Based Practice in Palliative Care bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Palliative Care as a Public Health Issue https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MGF6J7V58A5FRFW16PNHQ Cohen, Joachim 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3MGF6J7V58A5FRFW16PNHQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3MGF6J7V58A5FRFW16PNHQ http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48991-4_123 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Textbook of Palliative Care ISBN: 9783031489907 ISBN: 9783031489914 Palliative Care as a Public Health Issue bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lasius flavus ants protect root aphid eggs from predators and pathogens during winter hibernation https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDHZDVG13EDB3VFT7F5NSP Parmentier, Thomas Wybouw, Nicky 2025 Cooperative brood care is key to the ecology and evolution of social insects. Interestingly, social insects may also care for the brood of other species that dwell in their nests. This study explores how the yellow meadow ant Lasius flavus cares for the eggs of the root aphid Anoecia zirnitsi and how this service affects the resistance of aphid eggs to predators and pathogens. In winter, A. zirnitsi eggs were found exclusively in L. flavus nest chambers near the ant brood. Laboratory experiments showed that L. flavus detects, transports, piles and grooms the aphid eggs. We could recapitulate these caring behaviours in L. flavus using glass beads coated with chemical cues extracted from the aphid egg surface. Other ant species did not collect or nurse the eggs, suggesting a specific interaction between L. flavus and the eggs of A. zirnitsi. We further demonstrated that L. flavus strongly increased the aphid eggs' protection against predators and fungal pathogens. Ants, however, were not essential for the eggs to hatch, and aphid nymphs were capable of independently colonizing grass roots. Our research highlights the crucial protection services L. flavus ants provide to root aphids in winter, while the potential costs and delayed benefits (honeydew provision) of this protection for the ants should be further explored. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDHZDVG13EDB3VFT7F5NSP http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNYDHZDVG13EDB3VFT7F5NSP http://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.250217 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDHZDVG13EDB3VFT7F5NSP/file/01KP3MCF3A1GJ6N4G74BPG8V66 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE ISSN: 2054-5703 Biology and Life Sciences mutualism trophobiont Homoptera cleaning behaviour symbiosis chemical signalling STAPHYLINIDAE COLEOPTERA MUTUALISM ECOLOGY Lasius flavus ants protect root aphid eggs from predators and pathogens during winter hibernation journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Moverunt per se navigia ipsa : the syntax and semantics of anticausativisation and lability in Early Medieval Latin in Gaul https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN7FG8WHP3RS7JEE8TAMVFS6 Ongenae, Tim 2026 This article examines the syntactic, semantic and sociolinguistic variation in the coding of anticausativisation and lability in Early Medieval Latin in Gaul. Latin originally employed three noncausal strategies: the mediopassive (marked by the synthetic -r morphology or the analytic construction with esse ‘be’ + past participle), the reflexive (with the pronoun se) and the labile strategy (unmarked active intransitive forms). Drawing on quantitative data from PaLaFraLat, a corpus of Early Medieval Latin in Gaul, this study investigates the syntax of anticausativisation and lability before the transition to Old French. I argue that the formal reorganisation of the mediopassive strategy should be considered as distinct from its functional specialisation as a passive marker. Regarding the alternation of these three strategies, I claim that the mediopassive underwent standardisation and that the distribution of reflexivity and lability is determined by an interplay between subject control and the lexical aspect of the predicate. Cet article examine la variation syntactique, sémantique et sociolinguistique du codage de l'anticausativisation et de la labilité dans le latin du début du Moyen Âge en Gaule. Le latin utilisait à l'origine trois stratégies non-causale: la stratégie médio-passive (marquée par la morphologie synthétique en -r ou par la construction analytique avec esse ‘être’ + participe passé), la stratégie réfléchie (avec le pronom se), et la stratégie labile (formes actives intransitives non marquées). En s'appuyant sur les données quantitatives du PaLaFraLat, un corpus de latin du début du Moyen Âge en Gaule, cette étude explore la syntaxe de l'anticausativisation et de la labilité avant le passage à l'ancien français. Je soutiens que la réorganisation formelle de la stratégie médio-passive doit être considérée comme distincte de sa spécialisation fonctionnelle en tant que marqueur passif. En ce qui concerne l'alternance de ces trois stratégies, j'affirme que le médio-passif a subi une standardisation et que la distribution de la réflexivité et de la labilité est déterminée par une interaction entre le contrôle du sujet et l'aspect lexical du prédicat. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN7FG8WHP3RS7JEE8TAMVFS6 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN7FG8WHP3RS7JEE8TAMVFS6 http://doi.org/10.1111/1467-968x.70030 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN7FG8WHP3RS7JEE8TAMVFS6/file/01KN7FVZ23A0TSV0HCVWBBPKC4 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN7FG8WHP3RS7JEE8TAMVFS6/file/01KN7FVZ23A0TSV0HCVWBBPKC4 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess TRANSACTIONS OF THE PHILOLOGICAL SOCIETY ISSN: 0079-1636 ISSN: 1467-968X Languages and Literatures VOICE Moverunt per se navigia ipsa : the syntax and semantics of anticausativisation and lability in Early Medieval Latin in Gaul journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Nonlinear and spatial non-stationary effects of land finance on urban expansion at the county level in China : insights from explainable spatial machine learning https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JXFD41JHARW7A7RAFSDNMHN4 Zhang, Yihao Liu, Yong Li, Yingpeng Chu, Jun Yang, Qiaoran 2025 While previous studies have highlighted the complex role of land finance in urban expansion in China, few have explored its nonlinear and spatial non-stationary effects together. This study uses an explainable spatial machine learning model, integrating Geographically Weighted-Random Forest (GW-RF) with SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP), to investigate these effects at the county level. We identified nonlinear relationships between Land Conveyance Fees (LCFs) and urban expansion, with thresholds increasing from 1 billion to 9 billion yuan over time. Initially, land finance had limited effects, but its impact grew rapidly within certain ranges, stabilizing in more developed counties. Sectoral LCFs exhibited similar patterns, with industrial LCFs having a steeper accelerating influence, particularly in later periods. Spatial SHAP maps revealed disparities, with stronger impacts in developed urban areas and lower effects in underdeveloped regions. Over time, land finance's influence expanded in western and central China, especially in industrial-driven areas like the North China Plain. The influence of LCFs decreased with distance from regional centers and smaller county populations. These findings provide valuable insights for transitioning land finance policies and managing urban growth more effectively. application/pdf

https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN588PPSGX2KZQ7STJR0ZYFF Van de Sijpe, Alexander 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-03-31 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-03-31 This article offers a postsecular reading of Wormen en engelen (Worms and Angels, 2017) by Maarten van der Graaff, a novel that critically engages with the Dutch literary tradition of representing Protestant upbringing. While authors such as Jan Wolkers and Maarten 't Hart framed religion within narratives of secular emancipation, Wormen en engelen questions the validity of such stories and shows a renewed interest in Christian religion. First, the novel ascribes a specific spatiotemporal logic to classical secularization narratives, based on a spatial dichotomy and a teleological time frame. An analysis of the novel's spatiotemporal organization reveals how the narrative can at first still be read as playfully engaging with these conventions, but ultimately transcends them. Second, the novel introduces new metaphors for understanding religion and secularity. These metaphors frame religious institutions and experiences through phenomena the narrator elsewhere associates with secularity, such as the post-Fordist economic order and technologically mediated, embodied experiences. By foregrounding these dynamics, Wormen en engelen oscillates between a renewed appreciation of religion and the awareness that religion is equally influenced by secularity, rather than existing in opposition to it. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN588PPSGX2KZQ7STJR0ZYFF http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN588PPSGX2KZQ7STJR0ZYFF http://doi.org/10.1080/03096564.2026.2654238 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN588PPSGX2KZQ7STJR0ZYFF/file/01KN58AFR28PNM8DY6CCTRA72B https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN588PPSGX2KZQ7STJR0ZYFF/file/01KN58AFR28PNM8DY6CCTRA72B eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess DUTCH CROSSING-JOURNAL OF LOW COUNTRIES STUDIES ISSN: 0309-6564 ISSN: 1759-7854 Philosophy and Religion Maarten van der Graaff Wormen en engelen contemporary Dutch fiction postsecularism oscillating metamodernism Postsecular refigurations of religion and secularity in Maarten Van der Graaff’s Wormen en engelen (2017) journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Simplified mechanical organs in aquatic plants are associated with the loss of expansin genes https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263 Zhang, Yue Van de Peer, Yves Li, Zhen Marchal, Kathleen Chen, Jinming 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-09-18 Loss of expansin genes correlates with simplified mechanical organs in submerged and free-floating aquatic plants, revealing a key genetic adaptation to aquatic environments. application/x-zip-compressed https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263 http://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiag113 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263/file/01KNSFC3TFYGEPX4TQYM3PMDDM https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263/file/01KP3KWS8NKKNP19989XHMV1YC https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNSE3NET2X476GTCGMVN7263/file/01KP3KZPXK0ZZQ2QFY4ADXBGTW eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess PLANT PHYSIOLOGY ISSN: 0032-0889 ISSN: 1532-2548 Biology and Life Sciences EXPRESSION Simplified mechanical organs in aquatic plants are associated with the loss of expansin genes journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Comparing New Cinema Histories: An Introduction https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KWT185AFWM8AF1XYQZ5HJ Treveri Gennari, Daniela Van de Vijver, Liesbeth Ercole, Pierluigi 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KWT185AFWM8AF1XYQZ5HJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3KWT185AFWM8AF1XYQZ5HJ http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38789-0_1 eng Springer International Publishing The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative New Cinema Histories ISBN: 9783031387883 ISBN: 9783031387890 Comparing New Cinema Histories: An Introduction bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion An Abkhaz Civil Society Organization in the Abkhaz (De Facto) State https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KVNNTYYPSC77AYV1JZ2N4 Le Pavic, Gaëlle 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KVNNTYYPSC77AYV1JZ2N4 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3KVNNTYYPSC77AYV1JZ2N4 http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40546-4_20 eng Springer International Publishing The Palgrave Handbook of Non-State Actors in East-West Relations ISBN: 9783031405457 ISBN: 9783031405464 An Abkhaz Civil Society Organization in the Abkhaz (De Facto) State bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Key questions for future research in Physiological Entomology https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNYDV191A30EEXFVEQWX46MD Büscher, Thies H.

This study explores how CKD affects colon microbial metabolism, focusing on (1) the representativeness of fecal metabolomics, (2) saccharolytic and proteolytic fermentation metabolites, and (3) the gut microbiome’s role in the partitioning of tryptophan in its metabolic pathways. Tryptophan’s main metabolic pathways include the indolic and the kynurenine pathways, which lead, respectively, to the formation of indoxyl sulfate and kynurenine, both contributing to uremic toxicity. Using a rat model of CKD, we evaluated whether fecal concentrations of microbial compounds, on which most studies are based, reflect the colonic concentrations in contact with the gut mucosa. Thus, we quantified the concentration and content of amino acids, indole, p-cresol, and also short-chain fatty acids, in different colon sections. We demonstrated that CKD promotes increased proteolytic fermentation and an augmented tryptophan partitioning into both the indolic and kynurenine pathways. Depletion of the indolic pathway obtained upon antibiotic treatment leads to a further enhancement of the kynurenine pathway.</jats:p> https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3K42MY7RJ721ADHP2K3T2N http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3K42MY7RJ721ADHP2K3T2N http://doi.org/10.3390/toxins18040176 eng MDPI AG Toxins ISSN: 2072-6651 Kidney Function Modulates Gut Microbial Metabolism journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The British Lexicon Project https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KA6D6YV9ENZ32DGRC35S5 Brysbaert, Marc Keuleers, Emmanuel 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3KA6D6YV9ENZ32DGRC35S5 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3KA6D6YV9ENZ32DGRC35S5 http://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-323-95504-1.00398-7 eng Elsevier Reference Module in Social Sciences ISBN: 9780443157851 The British Lexicon Project bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion New evidence about the strolling actor George Jolly (1613-ca. 1683) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN1ZWDXDP9MGB0Q83AKRK12Q Vander Motten, Jean Pierre 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-08 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-08 The present article is essentially based on two unexplored notarial acts preserved in the City Archives at Rotterdam, both of which contain new evidence about George Jolly (1613-ca. 1683), the "last" and most famous of English wandering players on the continent. Dated 24 and 27 August 1646, these acts establish the earliest known dates by which Jolly had made his appearance in the Low Countries. Apart from providing us with the names of two of Jolly's fellow-actors, the same documents also shed light on his troupe's brief association with the company led by Jan Baptist van Fornenbergh (1624-1697), one of the most prominent Dutch actors and theatrical directors of the period. A disagreement over an (unresolved?) financial issue, brought before the Rotterdam "Vreedemakers Camer", probably caused the break-up of their united company, whose repertory of comedies and tragedies, performed in the spring/summer of 1646, cannot unfortunately be reconstructed. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN1ZWDXDP9MGB0Q83AKRK12Q http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN1ZWDXDP9MGB0Q83AKRK12Q http://doi.org/10.1080/0013838X.2025.2566702 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN1ZWDXDP9MGB0Q83AKRK12Q/file/01KN20ASVK6S6PNYNMPRDGJPP9 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN1ZWDXDP9MGB0Q83AKRK12Q/file/01KN20ASVK6S6PNYNMPRDGJPP9 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess ENGLISH STUDIES ISSN: 0013-838X ISSN: 1744-4217 Languages and Literatures George Jolly Jan Baptist van Fornenbergh English and Dutch strolling actors 17th century New evidence about the strolling actor George Jolly (1613-ca. 1683) journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The British lexicon project: lexical decision data for 28,730 monosyllabic and disyllabic English words https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/1852187 Keuleers, Emmanuel Lacey, Paula Rastle, Kathleen Brysbaert, Marc 2012 We present a new database of lexical decision times for English words and nonwords, for which two groups of British participants each responded to 14,365 monosyllabic and disyllabic words and the same number of nonwords for a total duration of 16 h (divided over multiple sessions). This database, called the British Lexicon Project (BLP), fills an important gap between the Dutch Lexicon Project (DLP; Keuleers, Diependaele, & Brysbaert, Frontiers in Language Sciences. Psychology, 1, 174, 2010) and the English Lexicon Project (ELP; Balota et al., 2007), because it applies the repeated measures design of the DLP to the English language. The high correlation between the BLP and ELP data indicates that a high percentage of variance in lexical decision data sets is systematic variance, rather than noise, and that the results of megastudies are rather robust with respect to the selection and presentation of the stimuli. Because of its design, the BLP makes the same analyses possible as the DLP, offering researchers with a new interesting data set of word- processing times for mixed effects analyses and mathematical modeling.

Rimettendo in discussione il dogma, proposto dal Filetero Pseudoerodianeo e accettato da diversi dizionari moderni, che μάχλος fosse un aggettivo riferito alle donne—dogma contraddetto sia da attestazioni letterarie che da quanto riportano i lessici non atticisti—discuto l’origine di μάχλος e il suo rapporto con μάχομαι (entrambi, come è stato già notato, implicano aggressività, se non addirittura hybris).

Reconciling the Perception–Reality Gap. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3HKG2PYXYD3PT4TQPZCQHX Janssens, Bram Rumes, Daan Verstraeten, Julie Spruyt, Adriaan 2026 EXTENDED ABSTRACT Research question Consumers frequently rely on intuitive lay beliefs to navigate complex food environments, particularly the healthy = expensive heuristic that links nutritional quality to higher costs (Haws et al., 2017; Jo & Lusk, 2018). While policy-backed labels like the Nutri-Score (NS) are designed to simplify decision-making and steer shoppers toward healthier options (De Temmerman et al., 2021; Julia et al., 2018), they operate within a marketplace where the actual relationship between health and price is empirically contested and metric-dependent (Carlson & Frazao, 2012; Lee et al., 2013; Primavesi et al., 2015; Rao et al., 2013). This research systematically evaluates the interplay between Nutri-Score labeling, consumer intuition, and market reality. We investigate whether favorable Nutri-Scores activate a healthy = expensiv inference that persists even when full price information is available; determine the label’s relative decision weight in realistic multi-attribute choice settings; and benchmark these consumer perceptions against large-scale retail data. Method and Data Across three studies, we combine experimental manipulation, choice modeling, and market data analysis to trace the healthy = expensive intuition. Study 1 employed a 2 (Nutri-Score: A vs. E) × 2 (Price: present vs. not present) between-subjects experiment with consumers in Belgium and the Netherlands. We analyzed the perceived expensiveness of brand-neutral mock-ups to test whether favorable Nutri-Scores drive price inferences. Study 2 embedded the label in a multiattribute choice-based conjoint (CBC) task. Using a Hierarchical Bayes multinomial logit model (Allenby & Rossi, 2005; Sermas & Colias, 2014), we estimated the decision weight of the NutriScore relative to price, weight, and energy (kcal) under health-goal and control conditions. Finally, Study 3 benchmarked these perceptions against reality using a scraped dataset of over 7,000 products from two major Western European retailers. We imputed missing health scores via random forest classifiers (Breiman, 2001) and derived brand-value metrics using the TrueSkill algorithm (Herbrich et al., 2006 ). Multilevel regression models with category-specific random intercepts were then used to determine whether favorable Nutri-Scores systematically predict higher within-category retail prices across different metrics (€/kg vs. €/kcal). Summary of Findings Across three studies, we identify a systematic yet qualified link between Nutri-Score labels, price perceptions, and market reality. Study 1 demonstrates that the Nutri-Score triggers a healthy = expensive inference, but strictly under limited information. A 2 × 2 ANOVA revealed a significant interaction, F(1, 476) = 13.59, p < .001, ηₚ² ≈ .028: while Nutri-Score A products were perceived as significantly costlier than E-labeled alternatives when price was hidden (ΔM =0.54, p < .001), this effect vanished when prices were visible (p = .248). Study 2 confirms that the label is a central decision driver. In multi-attribute choices, Nutri-Score consistently held the highest relative importance (31–39%), significantly outweighing price (19–24%) and calories (14–21%), F(3, 1101) = 272.71, p < .001. Finally, benchmarking these perceptions against retail data (Study 3) reveals a metric-dependent reality: multilevel models show products with favorable Nutri-Scores (A/B) are significantly more expensive per kilocalorie (𝛽𝑁𝑆 = –0.15 to –0.19, both p < .001) yet significantly cheaper per kilogram (𝛽𝑁𝑆= 0.02–0.03, p < .001 and p = .009). Thus, the consumer intuition in Study 1 is confirmed when comparing products on a €/kcal basis, but not when using the common €/kg metric. Statement of Key Contributions This research makes three contributions to lay beliefs, health labeling, and food pricing. First, it refines the healthy = expensive intuition by showing that favorable Nutri-Scores act as price cues under limited information, yet this inference largely dissipates when price is visible (Chan & Zhang, 2022; Haws et al., 2017; Jo & Lusk, 2018). Second, we extend multi-attribute decisionmaking research by demonstrating that Nutri-Score retains substantial decision weight in realistic settings, often outweighing calories and price, even without explicit health goals. This confirms that the label’s influence is behaviorally relevant rather than perceptual noise (Godden et al., 2023; Tversky & Kahneman, 1973).Third, we contribute to food pricing literature by using NS to examine whether healthier products (A/B) are systematically priced higher than less healthy ones (D/E). By documenting that price differences depend on the metric used (per-kg vs. per-kcal), we show that metric sensitivity extends to the granular product level (Carlson & Frazao, 2012; Lee et al., 2013; Primavesi et al., 2015; Rao et al., 2013). Taken together, the studies show that the healthy = expensive pattern primarily reflects a context dependent inference from simplified health cues, and that whether it appears in market data depends on the price metric used (€/kg vs. €/kcal). https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3HKG2PYXYD3PT4TQPZCQHX http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3HKG2PYXYD3PT4TQPZCQHX http://doi.org/U eng American Marketing Association No license (in copyright) 2026 AMA Winter Academic Conference Bridging at the Frontiers: Marketing for a World in Transition Price of Healthy Foods?

Research examining KE has tended to focus on a limited and select group of stakeholders. This paper builds on calls for a wider consideration of KE activities and other contributors to the KE agenda. The technical community is one such group that has received little attention or acknowledgement of their part in KE. We argue that the technical community makes a significant yet overlooked contribution to a broad array of KE activities. Technicians are problem solvers that often undertake work that their academic counterparts could not do-as users and managers of complex equipment to enable innovation. To date the literature provides limited understanding of the technician's role and a lack of conceptualization of the contribution of technicians in KE. Adopting a micro-foundation approach, we present a conceptual framework which draws on the multi-level categories of individuals, processes and structures. We take a broader perspective of KE by including activities such as working with external businesses, enabling access to facilities and providing analysis, and contributing to public engagement and training. By synthesizing contemporary research with recent policy work we reveal the potential contribution of technician's talent, know-how and boundary spanning activities. We conclude with a structured agenda and conceptual framework to help guide future research, showing how investigating the integration of individual, process and structural factors affecting technicians can help reveal new insights into KE capability development at the university level. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMJHVW5KCNJP0JKD8V5X9DSF http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMJHVW5KCNJP0JKD8V5X9DSF http://doi.org/10.1007/s10961-024-10072-y eng JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ISSN: 0892-9912 ISSN: 1573-7047 Technology and Engineering Technicians Knowledge exchange Micro-foundations L26 TECHNOLOGY-TRANSFER ORGANIZATIONAL ROUTINES ACADEMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES MULTILEVEL RESEARCH INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS QUADRUPLE HELIX OPEN INNOVATION MICROFOUNDATIONS Understanding university technicians' role in creating knowledge exchange routines and capabilities : a research agenda journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion On the Performance of LLMs for Real Estate Appraisal https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3J01E96NKXPF3ZNSG8JR52 Geerts, Margot Reusens, Manon Baesens, Bart vanden Broucke, Seppe De Weerdt, Jochen 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3J01E96NKXPF3ZNSG8JR52 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3J01E96NKXPF3ZNSG8JR52 http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-06118-8_12 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Lecture Notes in Computer Science ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783032061171 ISBN: 9783032061188 On the Performance of LLMs for Real Estate Appraisal bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fluorescence spectroscopy for monitoring inactivation of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes by plasma-activated water in vegetable wash water https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP02ZX4BSZQCP8AQRR13M6K1 Gongora, Kimberly Sampers, Imca Rajalingam, Nagendran Van Haute, Sam 2026 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP02ZX4BSZQCP8AQRR13M6K1 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP02ZX4BSZQCP8AQRR13M6K1 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2026.114240 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP02ZX4BSZQCP8AQRR13M6K1/file/01KP031JXVHFSY2ME9N4HV2MZY eng Elsevier BV info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess POSTHARVEST BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY ISSN: 0925-5214 ISSN: 1873-2356 Fluorescence spectroscopy for monitoring inactivation of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes by plasma-activated water in vegetable wash water journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion De eerste Amerikanen op de leesplank https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GJTEERNS6B6K3ECGR9MBP Gautier, Achiel 2006 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GJTEERNS6B6K3ECGR9MBP http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3GJTEERNS6B6K3ECGR9MBP https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GJTEERNS6B6K3ECGR9MBP/file/01KP3GRRZDCN5Q13BWDPAV28N4 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GJTEERNS6B6K3ECGR9MBP/file/01KP3GRRZDCN5Q13BWDPAV28N4 dut info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess NAUTILUS INFO ISSN: 0773-0829 Earth and Environmental Sciences De eerste Amerikanen op de leesplank journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fossielenverzamelaars typologisch bekeken https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G9MFEXM0JBGFYQFZCQ912 Gautier, Achiel 1999 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G9MFEXM0JBGFYQFZCQ912 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3G9MFEXM0JBGFYQFZCQ912 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G9MFEXM0JBGFYQFZCQ912/file/01KP3GCZZSJKMW8PNA1S2MK38Q https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G9MFEXM0JBGFYQFZCQ912/file/01KP3GCZZSJKMW8PNA1S2MK38Q dut info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess NAUTILUS INFO ISSN: 0773-0829 Earth and Environmental Sciences Fossielenverzamelaars typologisch bekeken journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Behaviour and filtering of supraharmonics generated by grid connected converters in low voltage grids https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN3YTVHX671WD7P2XKPJ3C84 Knockaert, Jos Desmet, Jan Aboutaleb, Abdellatif 2026 De toenemende integratie van vermogenselektronische omvormers in laagspanningsnetten, onder meer door de toename aan fotovoltaïsche installaties, batterijopslag en laadinfrastructuur voor elektrische voertuigen, stelt nieuwe eisen aan de elektromagnetische compatibiliteit en de spanningskwaliteit van het net. Hoewel deze omzetters onmisbaar zijn voor de energietransitie, geven zij aanleiding tot hoogfrequente geleide emissies in het frequentiebereik van 2 kHz tot 150 kHz, gekend als supraharmonischen. Deze emissies kunnen aanleiding geven tot ongewenste interacties tussen toestellen en problemen met de netkwaliteit. Dit proefschrift onderzoekt het gedrag van supraharmonische emissies in netgekoppelde omvormers, met bijzondere aandacht voor de invloed van de verhouding tussen schakel- en netfrequentie en voor de interactie tussen meerdere parallel geschakelde omvormers. Daarnaast wordt een actieve vermogensfilter voor enkelfasige netgekoppelde omvormers ontwikkeld en experimenteel gevalideerd met het oog op een doeltreffende reductie van deze emissies. De resultaten dragen bij tot een beter begrip van supraharmonischen in moderne distributienetten en ondersteunen de ontwikkeling van robuustere energiesystemen. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN3YTVHX671WD7P2XKPJ3C84 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN3YTVHX671WD7P2XKPJ3C84 urn:isbn:9789493513297 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN3YTVHX671WD7P2XKPJ3C84/file/01KN35F032XGYZZVDVNRSPCHVD https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN3YTVHX671WD7P2XKPJ3C84/file/01KN35F032XGYZZVDVNRSPCHVD eng Ghent University.

Why does popular culture favour ageless bodies, seemingly frozen in time? This dissertation examines how older adults and later life are represented in Belgian fiction films from 1945 to 2022. By looking at more than seven decades of cinema, it reveals how our views on ageing and later life have changed over time, and what films can teach us about the ways we look at ageing and older adults. The research shows that older characters are still only occasionally visible on screen. When they do appear, the roles assigned to them tend to be either negative or framed through the lens of successful ageing, leaving little room for the in-between, everyday experiences of growing older and of later life. At the same time, Belgian films stand out for showing real ageing bodies – with wrinkles, pigment spots, and grey hair – rather than the polished, ageless ideal so common in popular Hollywood films. These realistic representations make film a powerful space in which ideas about ageing are not only reflected but also questioned. Cinema does not just show how we think about ageing and later life; it can also help us see them differently. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMSR0ZY11XKMKYV2X2W7BC3V http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMSR0ZY11XKMKYV2X2W7BC3V https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMSR0ZY11XKMKYV2X2W7BC3V/file/01KMSR8HZVZV1VAQH32F3KXYVW https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMSR0ZY11XKMKYV2X2W7BC3V/file/01KMSR8HZVZV1VAQH32F3KXYVW eng Ghent University.

This chapter proposes a transnational and relational analysis of human rights politics in the South Caucasus, revealing how the multi-scalar combination of EU interventions, post-socialist domestic conditions and grassroots agency creates particular challenges and tensions for civil society groups. First, the chapter deconstructs the dominant categories of human rights promotion as they are mainstreamed in EU transnational cooperation with civil society in the South Caucasus, by exposing their depoliticizing, homogenizing and geopoliticizing underpinnings. Second, it engages with alternative vocabularies, forms of socio-political organizing and emancipatory struggles that are voiced by activist groups across the South Caucasus region. By juxtaposing the EU’s paradigms with the contestation emerging on the ground, this chapter sketches out an alternative politics of human rights promotion. This would be based on different forms of socio-political organizing oriented towards the grassroots, the recognition of justice claims beyond rights-based legal frameworks, the rejection of the capitalist development logic of ‘catching up’ and a critical rethinking of the EU’s global engagement. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JP02CHJFEZ7P3WE4JCHVGAZP http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JP02CHJFEZ7P3WE4JCHVGAZP http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-86209-0_8 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JP02CHJFEZ7P3WE4JCHVGAZP/file/01JWV16ZS7CSEWJY9GWN4Y57RK eng Palgrave Macmillan info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Contentious politics in the transnational arena : political contention in Europe and its wider neighbourhood ISSN: 2946-6016 ISSN: 2946-6024 ISBN: 9783031862083 ISBN: 9783031862090 Social Sciences Civil society European Union Human rights promotion Norm contestation South Caucasus Post-socialism The EU’s promotion of human rights in the South Caucasus : underpinning logics and alternative imaginations bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mergers and Acquisitions by Venture Capital-Backed Companies https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GMV2QY7EQD2KJC6D61V9M Meuleman, Miguel Luypaert, Mathieu Muller, Sarah 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GMV2QY7EQD2KJC6D61V9M http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3GMV2QY7EQD2KJC6D61V9M http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-81653-6_120 eng Springer Nature Switzerland The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Private Equity ISBN: 9783031816529 ISBN: 9783031816536 Mergers and Acquisitions by Venture Capital-Backed Companies bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion CaLenDiR: Mitigating Case-Length Distortion in Deep-Learning-Based Predictive Process Monitoring https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GS30MS5GZBJ94E1P5VH7N Wuyts, Brecht vanden Broucke, Seppe De Weerdt, Jochen 2025 <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) in Process Mining (PM) focuses on forecasting future aspects of ongoing business processes.

Even though organic materials and organisms may be unintentionally caught, the current lack of data hinders the evaluation of their actual impact. The goal of this work was to experimentally assess the proportion of bycatch during the operation of two non-commercial and custom-made clean-up mechanisms: floating booms coupled with a wheel and catch units, and a curtain of air bubbles with a catch unit. Our results show that both clean-up mechanisms were non-selective and generally caught plastic items and biota items (referring here to plant-derived materials) with median proportions of bycatch ranging from 18.4% to 95.0% depending on the parameters and clean-up mechanism. For example, with an increasing number of plastic items, an increase in the proportion of bycatch was observed for the floating booms coupled with a wheel and catch units. We observed a median of 25.0% bycatch with no plastic to a median value of 35.9% during the interaction of biota items with 100 plastic items. For the curtain of air bubbles and a catch unit, no trend was observed on proportion of reed caught with an increasing number of plastic items. Data on plastic clean-up technologies are needed to guarantee their net benefits while ensuring minimal environmental impact, and good water ecological status. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKE5MRFWHMQQ4YZS5AMAMRRE http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KKE5MRFWHMQQ4YZS5AMAMRRE http://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2026.119326 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKE5MRFWHMQQ4YZS5AMAMRRE/file/01KP2Y3FMS8H5KVG5JCMP97ZGY https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKE5MRFWHMQQ4YZS5AMAMRRE/file/01KP2Y4GSD3FNQRB825J2GKHJA https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKE5MRFWHMQQ4YZS5AMAMRRE/file/01KP2Y3FMS8H5KVG5JCMP97ZGY eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN ISSN: 0025-326X ISSN: 1879-3363 Earth and Environmental Sciences WATER DISPERSAL RIVERS Plastic clean-up mechanisms : experimental insights on their bycatch journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Pseudo-differential operators and spectral multipliers on non-Euclidean settings https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM300DX1BG1R9B6PB8S6FE3N Ruzhansky, Michael Cardona, Alexander Gómez Cobos, David Santiago 2026 n dit werk presenteren we een gedetailleerde studie van twee moderne problemen in de microlokale analyse. We onderzoeken eerst de eigenschappen van de Safarov- pseudodifferentiaalklassen, Ψm ρ,δ (Ωκ, ∇, τ ), op Riemann-vari¨eteiten. In tegenstelling tot de klassieke lokale calculus die gebruikmaakt van lokale kaarten om pseudodifferentiaalsymbolen te defini¨eren, definieert Safarovs benadering deze operatoren met behulp van een samenhang ∇ op de ba- sisvari¨eteit M . Deze veralgemening biedt een nieuw kader voor vele problemen en breidt de klassieke H¨ormander-klassen uit onder bepaalde geometrische voorwaarden. Terwijl de klassieke klassen op vari¨eteiten ρ > 1/2 vereisen vanwege de invariantie onder co¨ordinatentransformaties, zorgt Safarovs benadering voor een versoepeling in de volgende twee gevallen: als de samenhang ∇ symmetrisch is, is ρ > 1/3 toegestaan, en als ∇ vlak is, is ρ > 0 toegestaan. Onze bijdragen op dit gebied omvatten het vaststellen van de Lp-gebondenheid van deze pseudodifferentiaalopera- toren op complete Riemann-vari¨eteiten met begrensde geometrie. Dit levert verschillende directe gevolgen op, zoals Sobolev-, Besov-, en Lp-Lq-gebondenheidsresultaten. Bovendien construeren we een holomorfe functionaalcalculus voor deze klassen en onderzoeken we hun spoorasymptotiek op compacte Riemann-vari¨eteiten. Ons tweede hoofdonderwerp is de studie van bepaalde spectrale vermenigvuldigers op uni- modulaire lokaal compacte groepen G en hun toepassingen op parti¨ele differentiaalvergelijkingen, voortbouwend op het kader ge¨ıntroduceerd door Akylzhanov en Ruzhansky. Deze benadering gebruikt de groeps-von Neumann-algebra V N (G) als de frequentieruimte, wat contrasteert met de meer traditionele keuze van het unitaire duaal bG. Deze verschuiving opent de deur naar niet- commutatieve integratie-instrumenten, waardoor de afleiding van gebondenheidsresultaten voor Fourier- en spectrale vermenigvuldigers mogelijk wordt. We onderzoeken specifiek de spectrale vermenigvuldigers die van nature verschijnen als oplossingsoperatoren voor bepaalde integro- differentiaal evolutievergelijkingen. Onze analyse richt zich op het verkrijgen van dispersieve schattingen en gemengde-normschattingen (d.w.z. Strichartz-type schattingen). In specifieke gevallen worden deze resultaten toegepast om de goedgesteldheid van geassocieerde niet-lineaire integro-differentiaal evolutievergelijkingen te bestuderen. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM300DX1BG1R9B6PB8S6FE3N http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KM300DX1BG1R9B6PB8S6FE3N https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM300DX1BG1R9B6PB8S6FE3N/file/01KJBM2FYBH071JY0TR41Q7H62 eng Ghent University.

Bender, Michael 2025 <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>In interactions between people with different behavioural repertoires, communication errors are more frequent than between people who speak the same language and follow similar customs and habits. Nowadays, we tend to refer to such differences in behaviour as differences in “culture”. In intercultural communication research and training, this comes often with the presumption that those who grow up in another society as ours somehow are unlike “us” psychologically. In this chapter, the point of departure is that everyday interpretations of behavioural differences are influenced demonstrably by our own ethnocentrism and systematic biases. An approach to intercultural training (IT) is outlined with low emphasis on extensive psychological differences and high emphasis on the actual context in which people live and on specific rules that only hold in specific categories of situations. Implications of this approach are illustrated with reference to an existing module on intercultural training.</jats:p> https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G5JSP9DDMC4H1E17C4STW http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3G5JSP9DDMC4H1E17C4STW http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-69308-3_13 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Handbook of Diversity Competence ISBN: 9783031693076 ISBN: 9783031693083 An Intercultural Training Module That Is More About “Us” Than About “Them” and the Underlying Rationale bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Distance Selling and Doorstep Contracts https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GEKBH8NFYY5HB13JK9HRM Höppner, Sven 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GEKBH8NFYY5HB13JK9HRM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3GEKBH8NFYY5HB13JK9HRM http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-76422-6_537 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Encyclopedia of Law and Economics ISBN: 9783031764219 ISBN: 9783031764226 Distance Selling and Doorstep Contracts bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Endowment Effect https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GFWETD00SRW4TG7TN589D Depoorter, Ben Höppner, Sven 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3GFWETD00SRW4TG7TN589D http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3GFWETD00SRW4TG7TN589D http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-76422-6_545 eng Springer Nature Switzerland Encyclopedia of Law and Economics ISBN: 9783031764219 ISBN: 9783031764226 Endowment Effect bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Basics of Speech Fluency Disorders https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3G1JAMR50S2BM1AK2XABKM Daliri, Ayoub Euler, Harald A.

Analytical chemistry contributes by identifying materials and techniques, diagnosing degradation mechanisms, and developing new conservation methods. The aim of the research was to develop and apply analytical protocols combining vibrational spectroscopic techniques with mass spectrometric methods. The project was carried out at the Department of Chemical Sciences (University of Naples Federico II), the Royal Palace of Caserta, and the Archaeometry Laboratory of Ghent University, in a close collaboration between academic research and museum institutions. The thesis is structured around three main objectives: 1. Diagnosis of written documents, with a focus on the rarely studied carbon–iron gall mixed inks (C-IGI). 2. Study of painted surfaces to identify preparative techniques and later restoration materials. 3. Biomonitoring of emerging contaminants exploring their potential role in the degradation of monumental surfaces. The research employed a multi-analytical and integrated approach, combining several complementary techniques: i) vibrational spectroscopies (Raman microspectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy); ii) Optical and electronic microscopy (OM and SEM-EDS); iii) X-Ray Fluorescence; iv) chromatography assisted mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS and GC-MS). 2 All analytical procedures were designed to be non-invasive or minimally destructive, in full compliance with conservation requirements. Below are reported the results obtained during the three-years activity. 1. Historical manuscripts and ink degradation The study of Luigi Vanvitelli’s 18th-century letters (Palatine Library, Royal Palace of Caserta) revealed amorphous carbon, metallic sulfates (Fe, Cu, Zn), and iron(III)–gallate complexes, confirming the use of a mixed carbon–iron gall ink. Laboratory mock-ups showed that carbon markedly accelerates iron–gallate degradation: Raman micro-spectroscopy detected the loss of Fe–gallate signals after only a few days of thermal aging, while HPLC-MS identified early oxidation products such as ellagic acid. Carbon promotes ink deterioration by adsorbing gallic acid and destabilizing the iron–gallate complex. These results clarify degradation mechanisms in mixed C–IGI inks and provide new guidance for preserving historical manuscripts. 2. Painted surfaces The analysis of Roman wall fragments revealed the use of a fresco-secco technique, with a secco pictorial layer applied over a fresco mortar preparation, confirmed by the presence of protein-based organic binders. The study of a Roman fresco demonstrated that the preparatory technique can be determined through nonand micro-destructive methods, while macro-destructive analyses provided further stratigraphic confirmation. Spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses of funerary ceramics from a Hellenistic tomb containers identified pigments such as hematite, indigo, and amorphous carbon, as well as silica-based glittering materials and organic binders including vegetable oils and milk. These results suggest that the ceramics held cosmetics and ointments used for the adornment of the deceased. 3 An integrated analytical approach characterized inorganic and organic materials of the polychrome Bourbon floors at the Royal Palace of Caserta, revealing up to four decorative layers and the coexistence of original and modern restoration materials. Two main decoration methods were identified: (i) minium applied directly on terracotta and (ii) stratified preparatory and pictorial layers. The 18th– 19th-century layers consist of calcium and barium sulfates with TiO₂ preparations and oil-bound mineral pigments, while 20th-century layers contain barium sulfates with calcium carbonate, pigments, and synthetic resins. This analytical evidence are consistent with the lack of documents in historical archives of the Royal Palace of Caserta, which mention the use of “vernice a olio” e “vernice a spirito”. 3. Biomonitoring of microplastics in heritage environments A biomonitoring protocol for microplastic analysis using mosses and lichens as capturers, previously developed, was applied at six sites within the Royal Green Park of Caserta. Microplastics were extracted from lichens with this protocol, and their chemical identification is ongoing. Preliminary results show clear microplastic presence within black crusts mainly composed of carbonates and sulfate; polymer characterization is in progress. This comparative study confirms the protocol’s applicability to cultural heritage contexts, exploring the possible role of specific microplastic types in black crust formation. Overall, the analytical approach, combining vibrational and chromatographic techniques, demonstrates an effective model of science–heritage collaboration extendable to other European conservation contexts. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH8SBFNDKKXBHK71J2QJHG6A http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KH8SBFNDKKXBHK71J2QJHG6A https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH8SBFNDKKXBHK71J2QJHG6A/file/01KH8SPJH3Q4TTCVJN14KAQD6Q https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH8SBFNDKKXBHK71J2QJHG6A/file/01KH8SPJH3Q4TTCVJN14KAQD6Q eng University of Rome La Sapienza ; Ghent University.

Een techniek om deze vervuilende stoffen uit de lucht af te breken is fotokatalyse. Licht dat schijnt op een bepaald materiaal, de fotokatalysator genoemd, kan een reactie met bv. zuurstof in de lucht teweegbrengen om de vluchtige organische stoffen (VOS) in de gasfase af te breken. In dit onderzoek werd titaniumdioxide (TiO2) poeder gebruikt als fotokatalysator en ethanol als VOS. Eerst werden verschillende commercieel beschikbare poeders vergeleken. Hieruit werd één type poeder geselecteerd voor verder onderzoek. Het vastzetten van dit TiO2 poeder was noodzakelijk om te voorkomen dat het weggeblazen werd. Verschillende methoden om dit poeder te immobiliseren werden gebruikt, waaronder een sol-gel methode en methoden met polymeren. Een van deze methoden met polymeren was de fase-inversie methode om poreuze lagen op aluminium of poreuze, flexibele membranen te maken. Poly(vinylideenfluoride) (PVDF) werd hiervoor gebruikt. Dit polymeer behoort tot de groep van poly- en perfluoralkylstoffen (PFAS) en is resistent tegen het gebruikte UV-licht. Uit onderzoek naar de stabiliteit van dit PVDF-polymeer bleek echter dat het zelf ook afbreekt door fotokatalyse van TiO2. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFGKQY62D25Y75ZDJW0A1EKM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KFGKQY62D25Y75ZDJW0A1EKM https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFGKQY62D25Y75ZDJW0A1EKM/file/01KETAEQCT92R3DVQMNCPFJK05 eng Ghent University.

In the context of anthropogenic climate change, plankton communities could be drastically impacted by rising temperatures and the increase of extreme climate events. The Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS) is already heavily influenced by human activity, and extreme climate events could greatly alter the dynamics of the ecosystem. Recent years have seen an uptick in marine heatwaves in the BPNS, which have been associated with unusually prominent Bellerochea sp. blooms and temporary copepod die-offs. As the frequency of these marine heatwaves is projected to increase, it is necessary to gain an understanding of how phytoplankton and zooplankton communities may respond not only to stable temperature change, but also to rapid change. This research therefore aimed first to characterize BPNS marine heatwaves, and second to analyze the corresponding plankton community dynamics. Initially, 30 years of satellite data were used from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature dataset (NOAA OI SST V2 High Resolution Dataset). Temperature data was used to establish a 90th percentile threshold for marine heatwave detection. Marine heatwaves were then characterized based on intensity relative to the 90th percentile threshold, cumulative intensity (deg. C x days), duration, peak temperature reached, and timing of peak temperature. These results were compared with those from underway temperature measurements at ~3 m depth as well as with CTD temperature measurements, all collected on the RV Simon Stevin. Additionally, we defined and analyzed temperature regions based on both geographical and biological zones. For plankton data, samples were collected monthly (nine coastal stations) and seasonally (with eight additional offshore stations) on board the RV Simon Stevin, with zooplankton data from 2014 onwards and phytoplankton data from 2017 onwards. ZooScan and FlowCam automated imaging sensors were used to quantify zooplankton and phytoplankton, respectively. Plankton dynamics were then analyzed in terms of bloom timings and abundances (dominant groups, diversity indices). Overall temperature data from the BPNS showed similar marine heatwave trends using NOAA satellite data and RV Simon Stevin underway data, and highest temperatures were reached in the summers of 2018 and 2022. At several nearshore stations, the key plankton group Appendicularia had a delayed bloom during the 2022 marine heatwave compared to the 2018 marine heatwave. Ultimately, this parallel characterization of marine heatwaves and plankton dynamics offers insight into the health of the BPNS ecosystem.

Cette caverne est située sur la rive droite du Féron, petit affluent de la Meuse, près de Hastière-Lavaux. L'analyse sédimentologique (S. GEETS) indique que les dépôts sont surtout composés d'argile, de limon et de sable, qui ont été entraînés à partir de diaclasses. La faune a été étudiée par plusieurs spécialistes; elle contient des mollusques (J. DE CONINCK), des poissons, des amphibiens et reptiles (J.-C. RAGE), des oiseaux (P. BALLMANN) et des mammifères (A. GAUTIER). L'hyène, plusieurs autres carnivores, des chiroptères, des oiseaux, etc. ont utilisé la caverne comme refuge. D'autres restes de vertébrés entiers ou désarticulés ont été apportés dans la caverne par des prédateurs. Les quelques artefacts sont étudiés par J. DE HEINZELIN. Ceux des couches 3 et 4 sont attribués au Moustérien; le seul spécimen provenant du contexte des couches 1 et 2 est soit Paléolithique moyen tardif soit Paléolithique supérieur précoce. Les arguments stratigraphiques, paléontologiques et archéologiques s'accordent pour ranger les couches 6 à 4 du Début Glaciaire au Pléniglaciaire A du Dernier Glaciaire, le contact 3/4 lors de l'acmé de ce Pléniglaciaire A, les couches 3 et 2 avec la brèche intercalaire dans l'Interpléniglaciaire (sensu P. HAESAERTS, 1973). La faune mammalienne est dans l'ensemble celle d'un climat froid et continental. Elle est toutefois plus diversifiée que celle qui pourrait vivre aujourd'hui dans la même région et il en va de même pour la faune a vienne. D'où l'hypothèse formulée d'un « paysage en mosaïque » dans l'aire de captage de la caverne, présentant une variété de biotopes plus grande qu'actuellement. The deposits, fauna and implements found in a small cave known as Caverne Marie-Jeanne are described. This cave is situated on the right bank of the Féron. a small tributary of the Meuse near Hastière-Lavaux. The study of the deposits (S. GEETS) indicates that they are mainly composed of clay, silt and sand which have been washed into the cave along joints. Several specialists deal with the fauna which contains molluscs (J. DE C0NINCK); fishes; amphibians and reptilians (J.-C. RAGE); birds (P. BALLMANN) and mammals (A. GAUTIER). Hyaena, several other carnivores, chiropteres, birds etc. regularly used the cave as a hiding or resting place. Other remains of complete or disarticuled animals were brought to the cave by predators. The few artefacts are studied by J. DE HEINZELIN. Those found in layer 4 are ascribed to the Mousterian; one from the junction between layers 1 and 2 is late Middle or early Upper Paleolithic. The mammalian fauna is typical for a cold and continental climate. On the foregoing combined archaelogical and palaeontological evidence, the contents of Caverne Marie-Jeanne are ascribed to the first (pre-Aurignacian) moiety of the Last Glacial. The avian and mammalian faunas are more diversified than those which could live in the area today. Hence during the period under consideration, the catchment area around the cave probably showed a greater variation in biotopes than today. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3F0VC4XR40N6GZJDQ5QM78 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3F0VC4XR40N6GZJDQ5QM78 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3F0VC4XR40N6GZJDQ5QM78/file/01KP3FDKPA300VMPPXW35PT3VG https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3F0VC4XR40N6GZJDQ5QM78/file/01KP3FDKPA300VMPPXW35PT3VG fre IRSNB = KBIN info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess La caverne Marie-Jeanne (Hastière-Lavaux, Belgique) History and Archaeology Biology and Life Sciences Les dépôts quaternaires; inventaire paléontologique et archéologique bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 'Alles-onder-de-hemel', een cultuurhistorisch flexibel concept https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3FBTQJ7558X0ESX43A12W3 Dessein, Bart 2026 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3FBTQJ7558X0ESX43A12W3 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3FBTQJ7558X0ESX43A12W3 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3FBTQJ7558X0ESX43A12W3/file/01KP3FFHQT3VJ64N62SXYTHECM https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3FBTQJ7558X0ESX43A12W3/file/01KP3FFHQT3VJ64N62SXYTHECM dut info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Filosofie-Tijdschrift ISSN: 2034-1229 'Alles-onder-de-hemel', een cultuurhistorisch flexibel concept journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Interdisciplinary pathways for sustainable management of geological resources : a case study in Flanders https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JW8XCC5330JQ55DPY75KTN98 Van Overmeiren, Alexander Lamberts-Van Assche, Hanne Tovar, Alejandra Verbruggen, Kyra Wallmeier, Carolin Tas, Luka Deleersnyder, Wouter Rodriguez, Jose Peeters, Hannelore Piessens, Kris Daniilidis, Alex Vardon, Phil Bleys, Brent Bergmans, Anne Hermans, Thomas Buyle, Matthias Compernolle, Tine 2025 The subsurface is often overlooked in the field sustainable natural resources management, even though it provides us with supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural geosystem services. Additionally, the subsurface can contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable society by, for examples, storing energy and extracting geothermal energy. Currently exploitation of the subsurface occurs on a first-come-first-served basis, which might lead to inefficiencies and inequities.The need for sustainable development policies becomes progressively more essential, as subsurface exploitation is expected to increase. Six challenges are defined for sustainable use of geological resources: value pluralism, overexploitation, geological interferences, inequalities, multi-actor economies and uncertainties. To formulate scientifically sound advice for policymakers, it follows that expertise to tackle these challenges comes together.Addressing the diverse knowledge requirements to solve complex problems evidently necessitates interdisciplinary collaboration. This collaboration has its own opportunities, including enhanced creativity and the ability to address complex issues. However, challenges frequently arise. For instance, difficulties emerge in finding consensus due to a wide array of viewpoints, accepted assumptions which are not shared in other disciplines, and a need to learn about each other&amp;#8217;s fields. Such issues can cause friction when working on problems collectively. This paper proposes a novel framework for effective interdisciplinary collaboration, based on ongoing research within the DIAMONDS project. We present&amp;#160; interdisciplinary methods and approaches &amp;#160;for sustainable development of the subsurface.We aspire to grapple with challenges related to geological resource use by building an interdisciplinary team, developing an integrative framework and studying a stakeholder-validated case. The identified challenges form a guideline to establish which expertise is necessary to study sustainable subsurface management. Once adequate expertise is found, the integrative framework, as detailed below, supports the team in integrating their knowledge and research outcomes. Firstly, we highlight the need for repeated interaction. This requires sustained consortium meetings, which address previously outlined interdisciplinary challenges. Additionally, we aim to increase the validity of our research by performing a stakeholder mapping and engaging key stakeholders to ensure adequate representation. Secondly, our management practices aim to support collaboration, both within the project (e.g. consortium, researcher and one-on-one meetings) and with external stakeholders. Interactions with stakeholders are tailored to their expertise, ranging from interviews with a technical focus to workshops discussing equitable ownership of segments of the subsurface. Finally, all insights are synthesized and serve as input to flexible methodologies which allow integration across disciplines. For example, causal loop diagrams show causal connections, possibly crossing disciplines, when describing the subsurface system.This framework on interdisciplinary collaboration is applied to a stakeholder-validated case study. It examines two potentially interacting shallow subsurface activities: aquifer thermal energy storage and groundwater extraction. This paper describes our interdisciplinary approach and the methods we applied to the case. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JW8XCC5330JQ55DPY75KTN98 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JW8XCC5330JQ55DPY75KTN98 http://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-17552 eng Copernicus GmbH EGU General Assembly 2025, Abstracts Technology and Engineering Interdisciplinary pathways for sustainable management of geological resources : a case study in Flanders conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The intensification of future extreme-rainfall events over Belgium and their dynamic and thermodynamic contributions https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JQ1BRXCE3JZ1XWVY3TR8D1VD Van Schaeybroeck, Bert Schoofs, Jozefien Vandelanotte, Kobe Van de Vyver, Hans Van Der Sichel, Line Vandersteene, Matthias Serras, Fien van Lipzig, Nicole P. M. 2025 Climate change is expected to amplify extreme-rainfall intensity and frequency over Europe due to the increase in atmospheric moisture with warming, ensuing severe socio-economic impacts. The influence of future dynamic changes i.e. changes to atmospheric circulation patterns, on extreme-rainfall over Europe, on the other hand, remains unclear. Additionally, recent works point out that inadequate representation of regional circulation patterns by climate models may strongly impact their climate-change results over Europe (Vautard et al., 2023).This study presents a methodology for assessing the dynamical and thermodynamical contributions to the changes in extreme daily rainfall based on the Lamb weather type classification and with an application over Belgium. Thereby, GCMs from CMIP6 are first sub-selected based on their ability to accurately represent the overall atmospheric circulation (Serras et al., 2024) and the atmospheric circulation during days of extreme rainfall. We find that models with a good circulation probability distribution do not necessarily feature a good circulation-probability representation when restricting to days with extreme rainfall events, and vice versa. This means that, for our purpose, additional to the model selection based on all days, a selection based on the circulation probability distribution during days of extreme rainfall is implemented. Additionally, the increase in extreme-rainfall intensity and likelihood at the end of century under the SSP3-7.0 scenario for Belgium, are driven by thermodynamic factors rather than dynamic changes. While the probability of extreme rainfall rises predominantly in fall and winter, the most significant intensity increases are projected for spring and summer.&amp;#160;Vautard, R., Cattiaux, J., Happ&amp;#233;, T., Singh, J., Bonnet, R., Cassou, C., ... &amp;amp; Yiou, P.

The Shetland Islands offer a unique natural laboratory to investigate episodic impacts on the coastal environment through abundant well-preserved tsunami deposits. While numerous studies have identified tsunami deposits onshore in the Shetland Islands, offshore tsunami deposits remain underexplored. This study aims to reconstruct the stratigraphic history of these offshore environments by utilizing shallow seismic surveys, geomorphological analyses, and sediment core investigations.Bathymetric data and sub-bottom profiles reveal a complex geomorphology characterized by bedrock exposures and isolated depressions that form sub-basins. Initial sedimentation filled these preexisting basins, and this was then overlain by shallow marine sediments that typically accumulated in mounded depocenters, suggesting a strong influence of bottom currents. Stratigraphic reconstruction across three study areas (Dury Voe, Basta Voe, and Sullom Voe) reveals a consistent pattern: moraine deposits associated with glacial till at the base, overlain by postglacial lacustrine or fluvial deposits near the shoreline, and transitioning into shallow marine deposits indicative of transgressive phases in deeper areas.Within this sedimentary sequence, anomalous layers were identified in all three voes, marked by high-amplitude reflectors and contrasting characteristics, including coarser grain sizes and erosional boundaries, suggesting deposition by extreme wave events. Preliminary dating of these layers aligns with the Storegga tsunami (~8150 cal yr BP) and a Holocene tsunami event around 1500 cal yr BP.These findings underscore the influence of local bathymetric conditions, sediment supply, and depositional configurations in shaping the distribution of offshore tsunami deposits in the shallow waters surrounding the Shetland Islands. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Holocene coastal evolution and the geological record of extreme wave events. For instance, we reconstruct connectivity between onshore and offshore deposits and try to establish a model of how the offshore deposit changes with distance to the coast, and how the environmental factors influence this model. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7EKF5TNMRP3CP2JXZAZ1G60 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K7EKF5TNMRP3CP2JXZAZ1G60 http://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-11445 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7EKF5TNMRP3CP2JXZAZ1G60/file/01K7EM5D2GDHAWA66H29F917ER eng Copernicus GmbH info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EGU General Assembly 2025, Abstracts Earth and Environmental Sciences Holocene stratigraphy of the shallow offshore zones of the Shetland Islands : insights into paleotsunami and paleoenvironment reconstructions conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A modelling framework for the preliminary assessment of tile drainage detection using ground-penetrating radar https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKBQ8R0S0VF682ZBJ1WRSKWG Van De Vijver, Ellen Vanrietvelde, Seppe De Weerdt, Pablo Cornelis, Wim De Smedt, Philippe 2025 Geophysical surveys, particularly with ground-penetrating radar (GPR), have been proven useful tools for the detection and mapping of tile drainage in agricultural fields (Wienken & Grenzdorffer, 2024). However, the success of a GPR survey for this purpose depends on both the characteristics of the tile drain pipes, such as their material, diameter, and depth – which are often poorly documented – as well as environmental conditions, such as soil texture and moisture content. Furthermore, these environmental conditions can be highly variable in space and dynamic over time, adding to the challenge of assessing in advance whether a GPR survey will be worth the investment. To assess the likelihood of successfully detecting tile drainage networks before planning a field survey, we developed a synthetic modelling framework using the open-source software gprMax (Warren et al., 2016). The framework evaluates how selected parameters influence the GPR signal, focusing on the reflection contrast expected when the electromagnetic wave interacts with a drainpipe in a simplified one-dimensional (1D) model. Whether detection is possible is determined by comparing the simulated reflection contrast with a general noise threshold typical for a time-domain GPR system with a specified centre frequency. In this study, all synthetic modelling tests were performed for a GPR system with a centre frequency of 300 MHz. We explored the sensitivity of the GPR signal to soil texture, soil moisture content, as well as the radius, depth, and filling of the drainpipe, considering a laterally homogeneous soil profile composed of one or two layers. The validity of the modelling framework was assessed by comparing the predicted detectability with the detection success/failure in two real field cases with sandy and clayey soil types. While the synthetic model predicted feasible detection for the sandy field, no clear contrasts were visible in the radargrams after basic processing. This suggests the need for further refinement of the synthetic model, such as incorporating more complex soil variations and a more detailed representation of the drainpipe structure. Nevertheless, the modelling framework provides useful guidelines for planning and designing GPR field surveys, without requiring extensive prior information on site conditions. Further research is recommended to explore additional centre frequencies, more complex soil structures, and the incorporation of higher-dimensional approaches (2D or even 3D) to extend the current modelling framework. However, it should balance complexity with practical applicability, as real field conditions are never entirely predictable and models must simplify certain aspects due to incomplete knowledge. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKBQ8R0S0VF682ZBJ1WRSKWG http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KKBQ8R0S0VF682ZBJ1WRSKWG http://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-18694 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKBQ8R0S0VF682ZBJ1WRSKWG/file/01KKBQGDMC14YSVMHWY5T1MVJR eng Copernicus GmbH info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EGU General Assembly 2025, Abstracts Earth and Environmental Sciences A modelling framework for the preliminary assessment of tile drainage detection using ground-penetrating radar conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Impaired toilet training and bladder and bowel dysfunction in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder – an underreported issue https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EVN82PFP025SA8116J60N Joos, Mathilde D'Haene, Loïc Bar-On, Lynn De Roubaix, Amy Van den Broeck, Christine Vandamme, Ellen Samijn, Bieke 2026 Background & objective: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) face significant, yet often overlooked, challenges beyond motor impairments, including difficulties with toilet training and bladder and bowel dysfunctions (BBD). This study aims to explore whether children with DCD exhibit greater difficulties in these areas compared to typically developing children (TDC). Method: This cross-sectional case-control study included 84 children aged 5-8 years (42 DCD, 42 TDC), matched by school-grade and sex (33 boys and 9 girls per group). Parents completed the Vancouver Symptom Score for Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome (VSSDES) to assess BBD symptoms, the Dutch DCD-questionnaire (DCD-Q) to evaluate motor coordination, and additional questions regarding toilet training, elimination diagnosis, and co-occurring conditions. Correlations and exploratory group differences were analysed. Results: Parents of children with DCD reported significantly more toilet training difficulties than parents of controls (p<0.001), including persistent accidents (47.6% vs. 9.5%), prolonged training (45.2% vs. 4.8%), and difficulties recognizing urination urgency (40.5% vs. 2.4%). The parental report of delayed attainment of bowel and bladder control (p<0.05) and BBD rates (p<0.001) was also significantly higher in children with DCD. Exploratory analyses indicated that the prevalence of these outcomes was not significantly different between children with DCD with and without co-occurring ADHD or autism, suggesting a possible primary association with DCD. Additionally, across both children with DCD and TDC, poorer motor skills were associated with more BBD symptoms (r=-0.474, p<0.001). Conclusion: Children with DCD have a higher prevalence of toilet training difficulties and BBD compared to TDC, potentially affecting their psychosocial well-being. Greater awareness is crucial for timely and targeted care. Notably, the study’s design, directly comparing children diagnosed with DCD to matched TDC, provides new insights into the prevalence of elimination difficulties in this population. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EVN82PFP025SA8116J60N http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3EVN82PFP025SA8116J60N http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpurol.2026.105937 eng Elsevier BV Journal of Pediatric Urology ISSN: 1477-5131 Medicine and Health Sciences Developmental Coordination Disorder Incontinence Neurodevelopmental Disorders Children Bladder control Bowel control Impaired toilet training and bladder and bowel dysfunction in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder – an underreported issue journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Failing to mitigate soil erosion : a review https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBWT4JDH0W1G9SGJ88HJ7GM Frankl, Amaury 2025 Sharing success stories in mitigating soil erosion is a common and effective strategy for promoting sustainable land management and fostering community engagement. These stories showcase interventions and bridge the gap between research and practice by illustrating real-world applications and inspiring broader adoption. However, while successes are celebrated and well-documented, failures often remain marginalized or hidden, despite their potential to drive critical reflection, innovation, and progress. This paper argues that embracing transparency about failures in addressing soil erosion is essential for advancing sustainable land management. Failures provide invaluable insights into the complexities and contextual challenges of soil degradation, highlighting the iterative nature of learning and the need for epistemological humility. By analysing failures alongside successes, we can refine strategies, avoid repeated mistakes, and strengthen efforts to mitigate soil erosion. The paper is structured in two parts. The first section explores key factors critical to understanding failures in soil erosion management, including (i) defining appropriate thresholds, (ii) undervaluing local populations and indigenous knowledge, (iii) neglecting scale, and (iv) overlooking processes. These discussions aim to unpack the nuanced challenges of failure, paving the way for more informed and adaptive approaches. The second section explore how failures are addressed from a systematic review of the scientific literature. Ultimately, this work underscores the importance of integrating lessons from both successes and failures to amplify the impact of investments in sustainable land management. By fostering a culture of transparency, we can build a more resilient and effective framework for addressing soil erosion in diverse contexts. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBWT4JDH0W1G9SGJ88HJ7GM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEBWT4JDH0W1G9SGJ88HJ7GM http://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-5616 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBWT4JDH0W1G9SGJ88HJ7GM/file/01KEBX07Z6NJ874QPR7Y00BC1C eng Copernicus GmbH info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EGU General Assembly 2025, Abstracts Earth and Environmental Sciences Land degradation Mitigation Stakeholders Soil Conservation Failing to mitigate soil erosion : a review conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Estimation of suspended sediment concentration using satellite remote sensing data in Lake Tana, Ethiopia https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBX2C64QXNP1WEEDXKVKQDW Ashagrie Simegn, Afework Worku Awoke, Girma Annys, Sofie Frankl, Amaury Verstraeten, Gert 2025 Soil erosion by water from upland areas results in on-site and offsite problems in the catchment and aquatic ecosystems such as lakes and rivers. As such, up-to-date information on erosion rates and suspended sediment fluxes in rivers is indispensable to manage the impact of soil erosion, sediment transport, and sedimentation. However, detailed spatial and temporal information on erosion and sediment dynamics is rare, as it is labor-intensive and costly to obtain, particularly in developing countries. The advent of satellite remote sensing applications has provided the opportunity to monitor sediment fluxes by assessing the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) of rivers and lakes. This approach may provide a cost-effective alternative to ground-based sampling schemes. However, satellite-based approaches to monitor sediment fluxes require calibration and validation as the relation between SSC and optical properties of the water recorded by satellite sensors may vary with changing sediment properties. Here, we used empirical models to estimate SSC values from optical sentinel 2 data for Lake Tana in Ethiopia using in situ collected water samples. Moreover, in situ reflectance data, which were measured using an ASD Field Spec 4 spectroradiometer instrument, from water samples collected at Lake Tana are used as well. SSC and in situ reflectance measurements were conducted for 546 water samples collected from the lake, particularly from the river plumes of the two most important rivers draining to Lake Tana, i.e. Gumara and Giligel Abay. The sample SSC values ranged from 1.50 mg/L to 4,146 mg/L. The samples were classified into two categories: low SSC (≤ 250 mg/L) and high SSC (> 250 mg/L), as the optical properties of water are significantly influenced by its constituents. The individual bands in the NIR and visible spectrum exhibited a good correlation (R2 = 0.73, RMSE = 30.69 mg/L) for low SSC-values over Lake Tana. Moreover, the multilinear regression (MLR) analysis using both the visible and NIR bands of low SSC-conditions improved results compared to using individual bands (R2 = 0.84, RMSE = 23.37 mg/L). In contrast, high SSC water samples from Lake Tana did not correlate well with individual bands. However, combining the NIR and red bands generally improved the estimation of SSC for high SSC values (R2 = 0.9, RMSE = 0.26 mg/L). The established relations between optical properties and field-based SSC values will be applied to long-term timeseries of optical data to assess the temporal variations in sediment concentration in rivers draining to Lake Tana, and in Lake Tana itself. These timeseries will be compared to optical data on vegetation changes in the catchment to identify hot spots in both space and time that are responsible for elevated fluxes of sediment to Lake Tana. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBX2C64QXNP1WEEDXKVKQDW http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEBX2C64QXNP1WEEDXKVKQDW http://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu25-15661 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEBX2C64QXNP1WEEDXKVKQDW/file/01KEBX3SKF01872DH03H5KP5JQ eng Copernicus GmbH info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess EGU General Assembly 2025, Abstracts Earth and Environmental Sciences Estimation of suspended sediment concentration using satellite remote sensing data in Lake Tana, Ethiopia conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Premier De Wever, wij zijn niet té idealistisch in Europa : we zijn lang niet idealistisch genoeg https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7KW42Q1Q498KMHFF7AX383G Van Canegem, Timo 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7KW42Q1Q498KMHFF7AX383G http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K7KW42Q1Q498KMHFF7AX383G dut DE MORGEN (BRUSSEL) ISSN: 1374-7916 Premier De Wever, wij zijn niet té idealistisch in Europa : we zijn lang niet idealistisch genoeg misc info:eu-repo/semantics/contributionToPeriodical info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion La caverne Marie-Jeanne (Hastière-Lavaux, Belgique) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EMFFD480NRM7P14TYYM68 Gautier, Achiel de Heinzelin, Jean 1980 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EMFFD480NRM7P14TYYM68 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3EMFFD480NRM7P14TYYM68 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EMFFD480NRM7P14TYYM68/file/01KP3EWDNR2X9EXWP7TDNZ1F2B https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3EMFFD480NRM7P14TYYM68/file/01KP3EWDNR2X9EXWP7TDNZ1F2B fre KBIN = IRSNB info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess History and Archaeology Biology and Life Sciences La caverne Marie-Jeanne (Hastière-Lavaux, Belgique) bookEditor info:eu-repo/semantics/book info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Advances in Project IMA, the seamless prediction programme of the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KG1Y0GJKNV67SG9H8BQS3JAV De Cruz, Lesley De Kock, Simon Van Ginderachter, Michiel Reyniers, Maarten Deckmyn, Alex Dehmous, Idir Dewettinck, Wout Erdmann, Felix Imhoff, Ruben Moraux, Arthur Reinoso-Rondinel, Ricardo Veldhuizen, Mats Casey, Joseph James Faleu Kemajou, Loic Kumar, Anshul Van Nieuwenhuize, Viktor 2025 Seamless prediction systems provide frequently updated forecasts across different timescales by combining observations, such as weather radar data, with numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. These systems are increasingly needed by users like hydrological services, local authorities, renewable energy operators, and smartphone apps to make better and earlier decisions. This is especially true for precipitation, which is highly variable in space and time and strongly influences downstream models like (urban) hydrology. To achieve this, forecasts must not only be fast and accurate but also come with calibrated ensembles to estimate uncertainty and propagate errors properly. In Belgium, Project IMA (inspired by the Japanese word for "now" or "soon") is the seamless prediction system developed by the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI). It uses RMI's observation network, including RADQPE for gauge-corrected precipitation estimates, the pysteps-be probabilistic rainfall nowcasting system, the INCA-BE nowcasting system, and the ACCORD NWP models ALARO and AROME. Unlike many other systems, Project IMA offers seamless ensemble precipitation nowcasts for lead times up to 6 hours, updated every 5 minutes, designed to improve flash flood predictions and quantify their uncertainty. This presentation will showcase recent developments in Project IMA, including updates to the open-source pysteps framework, such as an improved runtime efficiency, code structure and better representation of extremes. We will discuss new deep learning-based methods for blending forecasts to extend their lead time and improve accuracy, calibration, and usefulness for end users such as hydrologists, crisis managers and water authorities. Project IMA aims to ensure a rapid transfer from research to operations and encourages open-source contributions to ensure transparency and reproducibility.

onderzoek naar oxytocine overheen de laatste decennia, van vroege studies naar het oxytocine systeem bij de monogame prairiewoelmuis naar klinische oxytocine toedieningsstudies bij mensen. Bijzondere aandacht zal besteed worden aan de bespreking van nieuwe theoretische modellen die naar voor werden geschoven op basis van steeds voortschrijdende empirische inzichten in oxytocine’s neurofysiologische werking. Oxytocine’s rol in het moduleren van sociale aandachtsprocessen (‘salience’), het verlagen van angst en stress, de modulatie van de balans tussen toenadering- en vermijdingsgedrag, alsook het optimaliseren van signaal-ruis verhoudingen wordt besproken. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCSTMBWS64613W1K2FBH http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCSTMBWS64613W1K2FBH dut 1e Vlaams Congres Geestelijke Gezondheid bij Kinderen & Jongeren, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Hoe oxytocine een ‘knuffelhormoon’ werd : een korte geschiedenis van onderzoek naar de mechanismen en klinische toepassingen van oxytocine conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Als Rusland er op het eind van de oorlog van overtuigd is dat het gewonnen heeft, zal het daar niet stoppen https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM7RR8PGCM8VK2SGXNYV0JDJ Biscop, Sven 2026 application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM7RR8PGCM8VK2SGXNYV0JDJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KM7RR8PGCM8VK2SGXNYV0JDJ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM7RR8PGCM8VK2SGXNYV0JDJ/file/01KM7RSQ102GBY862Z75E0HW2X https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KM7RR8PGCM8VK2SGXNYV0JDJ/file/01KM7RSQ102GBY862Z75E0HW2X dut info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess DE MORGEN (BRUSSEL) ISSN: 1374-7916 Law and Political Science Als Rusland er op het eind van de oorlog van overtuigd is dat het gewonnen heeft, zal het daar niet stoppen misc info:eu-repo/semantics/contributionToPeriodical info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient social modulation? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCS3V459D2JASFP555HS Op de Beeck, R Prinsen, J Daniels, N Moerkerke, Matthijs Steyaert, J Alaerts, K 2023 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCS3V459D2JASFP555HS http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCS3V459D2JASFP555HS eng Society for Social Neuroscience (S4SN) 2023 Conference, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient social modulation? conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient modulation? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRBKM39QKPEPNF010KH Op de Beeck, R Prinsen, J Daniels, N Moerkerke, Matthijs Steyaert, J Boets, B Alaerts, K 2024 Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by socio-communicative difficulties. The action observation network, known as the mirror neuron system (MNS), has gained profound attention for understanding the neural mechanisms of ASD. Initially, it was argued that the MNS is impaired in ASD, whereas recent viewpoints posit that basic action simulation or 'mirroring' could be intact, but that the attunement of this response in line with socio-interactive demands may be inefficient. We adopted fMRI neuroimaging to compare neural activation in 56 autistic versus 38 typically developing children (8-12 years). Children were instructed to observe videos of an actor performing hand movements or keeping her hand still while engaging in direct or averted gaze. Across the 2x2 task paradigm (Hand Action, Still Hand; Direct Gaze, Averted Gaze) we examined group differences in BOLD-signal in specific regions of interest (ROIs), including classic MNS regions and ROIs involved in eye contact processing. Generally, across both groups, action observation combined with direct gaze elicited more inferior parietal lobule (IPL) MNS activity as combined with averted gaze. Further, across all conditions, autistic children showed decreased left IPL activation as compared to non-autistic peers. They also displayed significantly lower neural activation in the MNS’ ventral premotor area during action observation. An exploratory whole-brain analysis confirmed this pattern. To conclude, autistic children demonstrated decreased neural activity in critical MNS regions during action observation. These regions are essential for motor representation and for action processing and understanding. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRBKM39QKPEPNF010KH http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCRBKM39QKPEPNF010KH https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRBKM39QKPEPNF010KH/file/01KP3DN0Z7X3N6RK02CZPNT11J https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRBKM39QKPEPNF010KH/file/01KP3DN0Z7X3N6RK02CZPNT11J eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess BAPS 2024, Annual Meeting of the Belgian Association for Psychological Sciences, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient modulation? conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Verzet tegen nieuwe hoogspanningslijn : ‘Ik weet niet of ik hier wel wil blijven wonen’ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMZMBZ0575EDQSE2S22PX5S8 De Waegeneer, Els 2021 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMZMBZ0575EDQSE2S22PX5S8 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMZMBZ0575EDQSE2S22PX5S8 dut DE MORGEN (BRUSSEL) ISSN: 1374-7916 General Works Verzet tegen nieuwe hoogspanningslijn : ‘Ik weet niet of ik hier wel wil blijven wonen’ misc info:eu-repo/semantics/contributionToPeriodical info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient social modulation? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRYCFH0RRDAPQX6K9G5 Op de Beeck, R Prinsen, J Daniels, N Moerkerke, Matthijs Steyaert, J Alaerts, K 2023 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCRYCFH0RRDAPQX6K9G5 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCRYCFH0RRDAPQX6K9G5 eng 2023 Conference 'From self-knowledge to knowing others : New advances in characterizing socio-cognitive dysfunctions in the general and clinical populations', Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Revisiting the mirror neuron system in children with autism : 'broken' mirroring or inefficient social modulation? conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Is dit nu de NAVO?

Methods To fill this gap, this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study explored chronic oxytocin administration effects on endogenous salivary oxytocin levels and oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) epigenetics (DNA methylation) in 8-to-12-year-old children with ASD (n = 79, 16 females). Biological sampling was performed at baseline (pre-treatment), immediately (24 hours) after the four-week oxytocin administration period (12 IU, twice daily) and at a follow-up session, four weeks after the last nasal spray administration. Results Compared to placebo, children receiving the oxytocin nasal spray displayed significantly higher salivary oxytocin levels 24 hours after the last oxytocin nasal spray administration, but no longer at the four-week follow up session. Regarding epigenetics, oxytocin-induced reductions in OXTR methylation were observed, reflecting a facilitation of oxytocin receptor expression in the oxytocin, compared to the placebo group. Notably, heightened oxytocin levels post-treatment were significantly associated with reduced OXTR DNA methylation and improved feelings of secure attachment. Conclusion Four weeks of chronic oxytocin administration stimulated the endogenous oxytocinergic system in children with ASD, as evidenced by increased salivary oxytocin levels and reduced OXTR DNA methylation (indicating increased receptor expression). application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCS7YMF8N4CHWVB35RK9 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCS7YMF8N4CHWVB35RK9 http://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.06.23291017 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCS7YMF8N4CHWVB35RK9/file/01KP3BZVKZPEDX5SAKD0TDAJ7B eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess medRxiv Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Chronic oxytocin administration stimulates the endogenous oxytocin system : an RCT in autistic children misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion HF-rTMS over the left and right DLPFC enhances proactive cognitive control : an antisaccade and pupillometry study https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFJA4104DEKZAKHRG16C3J91 Van Boven, Aaron Verde, Viviana Allaert, Jens Boralli Razza, Laís De Smet, Stefanie Vanderhasselt, Marie-Anne Baeken, Chris Duschek, Stefan De Raedt, Rudi Pulópulos Tripiana, Matias Miguel 2025 Proactive cognitive control enables individuals to anticipate and prepare for upcoming cognitive demands. Whereas prior research highlights the involvement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in proactive cognitive control, the lateralization of this function remains unclear. In this single-blind, sham-controlled, within-subject, randomized preregistered study, 31 healthy participants (mean age=22.26, SD=4.01; 18 women) received, in three separate sessions, sham and active high-frequency (20hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) over the left and right DLPFC before performing a blocked version of the antisaccade task in combination with pupillometry to assess proactive cognitive control. Although preregistered analyses with saccade latency (i.e., time to initiate the first saccadic movement) did not show a significant effect of HF-rTMS, exploratory analyses with fixation latencies (i.e., time to fixate the gaze at the correct target location) in antisaccade trials were significantly shorter after both active left and right DLPFC stimulation compared to sham. Moreover, analyses accounting for tonic pupil size showed that the pupil constriction during the anticipatory phase (reflecting phasic resource allocation) was smaller after active left and right HF-rTMS (vs sham) on prosaccade trials, and a smaller pupil constriction was associated with shorter fixation latencies in antisaccade trials. Tonic pupil size, reflecting sustained resource allocation, was significantly larger after left DLPFC stimulation and was associated with longer saccade and fixation latencies after sham, but not active stimulation. These findings provide important evidence that helps reconcile mixed results in the field by supporting the involvement of both left and right DLPFC in proactive cognitive control via the regulation of anticipatory allocation of cognitive resources. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFJA4104DEKZAKHRG16C3J91 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KFJA4104DEKZAKHRG16C3J91 http://doi.org/10.22541/au.175206471.10907402/v1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFJA4104DEKZAKHRG16C3J91/file/01KFJA5WSN4SS2G1HJQE0Y5XGR eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Authorea Social Sciences HF-rTMS over the left and right DLPFC enhances proactive cognitive control : an antisaccade and pupillometry study misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Proceedings of the 21st Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2025) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKTVC2CR9115G8235RYD5G26 Ojha, Atul Kr.

Yet, they could be tackled through shifting autonomic balance toward parasympathetic dominance. Two promising interventions could achieve this via complementary pathways: slow-paced breathing (SPB), acting via peripheral mechanisms, and prefrontal transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), targeting brain regions involved in autonomic regulation. Combining those techniques could therefore enhance their effects. This placebo-controlled study examined the effects of SPB and tDCS, alone and in combination, on stress, emotional reactivity, and emotion regulation. 187 healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups in a 2 (Breathing: SPB vs. control) × 2 (tDCS: active vs. sham) design. They completed a baseline assessment, the intervention, a psychosocial stress task, a recovery phase and an emotional reactivity task with negative versus neutral images. We measured psychophysiological indices of stress and emotion regulation (heart rate variability, skin conductance, pupil dilation and blood pressure, appraisal of threat, affect, and the use of emotion regulation strategies). Surprisingly, combining SPB and tDCS may hinder their individual effects. Receiving tDCS decreased pupil dilation, and increased positive affects and distraction as emotion regulation strategy. Receiving SPB decreased skin conductance, pupil dilation, and increased positive affect and distraction. Surprisingly, combining them reduced the effects on positive affect, acceptance and pupil dilation. No other effects were found. Rather than enhancing outcomes, combining them may hinder each intervention. These findings highlight the independent efficacy of SPB and tDCS, caution against their concurrent use and highlight the need for further investigation. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFJADQ1R59XWT2AS0TKCRSQT http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KFJADQ1R59XWT2AS0TKCRSQT http://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/r48j5_v1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFJADQ1R59XWT2AS0TKCRSQT/file/01KFJAESKSR2CZWAQ22553PS8D eng Center for Open Science info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess PsyArXiv Social Sciences Emotion Psychophysiology Slow-paced breathing Stress tDCS The combined effects of prefrontal tDCS and slow-paced breathing on stress reactivity, emotional reactivity, and emotion regulation misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Test-retest repeatability and agreement of trunk muscle activation using surface and fine-wire electromyography during movement tasks in pain-free persons https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3BK5R265TY1CAKAWH1PKB4 Brandt, Michiel Meirezonne, Hannes Danneels, Lieven Willems, Tine Parlevliet, Thierry Pringels, Lauren Matheve, Thomas 2026 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3BK5R265TY1CAKAWH1PKB4 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3BK5R265TY1CAKAWH1PKB4 und Test-retest repeatability and agreement of trunk muscle activation using surface and fine-wire electromyography during movement tasks in pain-free persons conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Convergent validity of the position-reposition and thoracolumbar dissociation tests in patients with recurrent low back pain in remission https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3B7H76PQX3NNPYNE56HPZC Brandt, Michiel Danneels, Lieven Van Oosterwijck, Jessica Wijnen, Jaap Meirezonne, Hannes Willems, Tine Hodges, Paul Matheve, Thomas 2026 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3B7H76PQX3NNPYNE56HPZC http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3B7H76PQX3NNPYNE56HPZC und Convergent validity of the position-reposition and thoracolumbar dissociation tests in patients with recurrent low back pain in remission conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Sabe tuyo no, sabe de vos, perdón : percepciones lingüísticas y creencias de uso sobre los posesivos verbales en español https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8759164 Pato, Enrique Casanova, Vanessa 2022 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8759164 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8759164 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8759164/file/8759209 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8759164/file/8759209 spa Alter info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Estudios dedicados al profesor Juan C.

KG and vitroplena bv, explores potential applications of glass-to-concrete bonding in building construction. The project aims to push the boundaries of traditional building materials by integrating glass with concrete, combining their unique properties to create innovative, aesthetically appealing and structurally advanced solutions. A recent showcase at the Glass Technology Live exhibition during Glasstec 2024 demonstrated several potential applications of this technology through a pedestrian bridge demonstrator. This paper focuses on the production and assembly aspects of the bridge. As the first full-scale structure implementing glass-to-concrete bonding, this project provided valuable insights into bonding procedures, assembly-related problemsolving and logistical planning. These practical aspects are crucial to assessing the feasibility of glassconcrete bonding and its potential in real-world applications, beyond the bridge's structural performance. The 5.5-meter walkway features a 3-meter-span hybrid floor panel made of fibrereinforced high-strength concrete with glass plates bonded to the top and bottom. The panel’s unique triangular openings not only reduce weight but also increase transparency, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional properties of the structure. T-beams are integrated within the hybrid panel: the edges of the panel form the web of the T-beam, while the curved glass web provides additional stiffness. Glass balustrades are seamlessly bonded to the 8 cm thick concrete slab, enhancing both stability and the overall aesthetic flow. The floating staircases, constructed using a concrete mix excluding cement, are supported by structural glass side panels which also serve as balustrades. Each segment of the bridge - the hybrid panel and two staircases - is designed for transport by truck.This showcase highlights the potential of bonded glass-concrete elements to combine aesthetic appeal with structural integrity, offering exciting possibilities for the future of hybrid (glass-to-concrete) structures. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3ANSPHNGMSGEVH422H9NF2 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP3ANSPHNGMSGEVH422H9NF2 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP3ANSPHNGMSGEVH422H9NF2/file/01KP3ATMERYV2MD1JG96TQVBEC eng Glass Performance Days info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Hybrid Glass-to-Concrete Pedestrian Bridge: A Case Study conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Drawing dislocation : comics, and the translocal aesthetics of Hong Kong identity https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNA0TNJTTTPYP5244H7DMAQ4 Chu, Kin-Wai Amelia 2026 With a rich transcultural legacy as an art form, a medium, and a cultural product, comics offer a distinctive lens to examine the evolving dynamics and entanglement of cross-border interactions and cultural specificity. This paper investigates how a selection of Hong Kong artists’ works critically engage with questions of dislocation, globalisation, cultural memory and identity — particularly amid the ongoing waves of diaspora and socio-political transformation. To commence with tracing the development of Hong Kong comics from their precursors—cartoons in the 19th century, through rapid hybridisation of Chinese manhua, American comics, and Japanese manga after the Second World War before establishing the distinctive features of Hong Kong comics in the 1980s, this paper situates comics’ role in narrating and imagining urbanity and cultural identity. Drawing on interdisciplinary frameworks from translocality, postcolonial and diasporic studies, this paper adopts Hong Kong-ness as method to analyse a corpus by diasporic Hong Kong comic artists. I argue that theorizing Hong Kong-ness as a dislocated, yet generative and connected framework cam illuminate how cultural forms travel and mutate across diasporic, regional, and global circuits. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNA0TNJTTTPYP5244H7DMAQ4 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNA0TNJTTTPYP5244H7DMAQ4 eng 2026 AAS Annual Conference Languages and Literatures Drawing dislocation : comics, and the translocal aesthetics of Hong Kong identity conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Colonialismo verde : v. 1 : geopolítica e transições ecossociais https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKM27WVZVWEKN5RVWGKHBKJQ Lang, Miriam Bringel, Breno Manahan, Mary Ann 2025 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKM27WVZVWEKN5RVWGKHBKJQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KKM27WVZVWEKN5RVWGKHBKJQ urn:isbn:9786560081079 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKM27WVZVWEKN5RVWGKHBKJQ/file/01KKM2KWCFTPEX9KAZQ1T15SEA https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KKM27WVZVWEKN5RVWGKHBKJQ/file/01KKM2KWCFTPEX9KAZQ1T15SEA por Elefante info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Social Sciences Colonialismo verde : v. 1 : geopolítica e transições ecossociais bookEditor info:eu-repo/semantics/book info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Land rights, land prices and banks : explaining intraregional divergences in industrial activity : the case of Flanders (19th – 20th century) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4389336 De Vijlder, Nicolas Schoors, Koen 2014 From the middle of the 18th century, most countries in North-western Europe experienced a declining importance of the agricultural sector, to the benefit of the industrial and service sectors. Following the United Kingdom’s industrial development from 1750 onwards, Belgium was at the helm of this transition in continental Europe. Other countries, such as the Netherlands and Germany experienced similar processes, albeit only during the second wave of the industrial revolution. Divergence however, not only occurred between states. Within the same national entity some regions were at the forefront of industrial development, while for others agriculture remained the prevailing economic activity. In this respect, Belgium provides an good example. Initial industrial activity was centered in the resource-rich Walloon area, whilst Flanders retained its rural/proto-industrial character throughout the 19th century. However, between 1900 and 1937, the secondary and tertiary sectors became increasingly important in certain areas of Flanders. Consequently, by 1937 industrial employment at the regional level, expressed as a percentage of the total workforce, was comparable throughout Belgium. In our paper we investigate the presence of a ‘De Soto effect’ in Flanders between the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. The ‘De Soto effect‘ entails that landownership provided borrowers with an attractive form of collateral that, subject to the presence of institutionalized lending facilities (banks), can ease access to external finance. Using a spatially lagged model, we analyze to what extent the intraregional variation in industrial activity observed in 1937 can be explained by the uneven availability of credit, collateral and banks. In our analysis, we consider approximately 1,184 municipalities in Flanders. Our results do not allow us to reject the De Soto hypothesis. Neither high land values in the early 1800s, nor high banking activity in 1910 seem to be robustly and independently related to more industrial activity in 1937. But the interaction of these two variables turns out to be strongly and robustly related to industrial activity. We find that by 1937, industrial activity was especially elevated in those regions where both exogenous land prices were high and banking activity was strongly developed by 1910, which is in line with the De Soto hypothesis. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4389336 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-4389336 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4389336/file/4403713 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4389336/file/4403713 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess 39th Annual EBHS Conference, Proceedings History and Archaeology Land rights, land prices and banks : explaining intraregional divergences in industrial activity : the case of Flanders (19th – 20th century) conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion City of foreigners : archaeological and epigraphic perspectives on ancient Rome https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJBF2ZDJQ4K7R284BHM9WDXC Ricci, Cecilia Massimo, Davide 2025 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJBF2ZDJQ4K7R284BHM9WDXC http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KJBF2ZDJQ4K7R284BHM9WDXC urn:isbn:9788854917040 urn:isbn:9788854917170 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJBF2ZDJQ4K7R284BHM9WDXC/file/01KKDWQSZZ3GSJ38NCAE56M887 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJBF2ZDJQ4K7R284BHM9WDXC/file/01KKDWQSZZ3GSJ38NCAE56M887 eng Quasar info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess History and Archaeology City of foreigners : archaeological and epigraphic perspectives on ancient Rome bookEditor info:eu-repo/semantics/book info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Internet governance and cyber diplomacy https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFAY2MRG6JHH2SA1RX620H6Y Dizon, Michael Anthony C. Phillips, Andelka M. 2025 Due to its global, plural and complex nature, the internet presents significant issues to diplomacy. This chapter posits that cyber diplomats must utilise the unique characteristics of the internet and recognise the multiple parties and processes involved in internet governance in order to make cyber diplomacy more impactful. The major challenges to cyber diplomacy that are examined include achieving the goal of a free, open and secure internet, ensuring DNS security, and adapting to the non-state-based or -centred approaches to internet governance. The chapter recommends the adoption of multi-stakeholder and consensus-based approaches and the development of legal and technical competencies to address these concerns. By embracing the complicated nature of internet governance, these challenges can be transformed into opportunities and advantages for more effective and responsive cyber diplomacy. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFAY2MRG6JHH2SA1RX620H6Y http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KFAY2MRG6JHH2SA1RX620H6Y http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-93385-1_9 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFAY2MRG6JHH2SA1RX620H6Y/file/01KP3A2M5K5NWHHHHDS5R4ZGGN https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFAY2MRG6JHH2SA1RX620H6Y/file/01KP3A2M5K5NWHHHHDS5R4ZGGN eng Springer info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess The Palgrave handbook on cyber diplomacy ISBN: 9783031933844 ISBN: 9783031933851 Technology and Engineering Internet governance and cyber diplomacy bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Congo 1965-1997 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/118345 Maton, Jozef Schoors, Koen Van Bauwel, Annelies 1999 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/118345 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-118345 dut Gent Business and Economics Congo 1965-1997 misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A study of wealth and income in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP31Q0RNKJS7DPGEJ5J7M5T1 Baetens, R.

Balthazar, Herman 1976 The Penguin English Dictionary defines structure as ‘the way in which the component parts of a complex whole are inter-related’. During the past twenty years we have encountered the word extremely frequently in modern historical studies. Its use is related to the twin desires of more responsible objectivity and a strong position vis-à-vis other researchers in the area of social sciences, which are directed towards the present day. The basis of these studies is quantitative: ‘chometry’ is advancing. The researchers are bent on counting homogeneous population groups and delineating these by means of repeated references to profession, status, housing, income, living and cultural standards, etc. It is not necessary to examine this investigating strategy in greater depth. In my view, it is more important to examine the results. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP31Q0RNKJS7DPGEJ5J7M5T1 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP31Q0RNKJS7DPGEJ5J7M5T1 http://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-5954-8_6 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP31Q0RNKJS7DPGEJ5J7M5T1/file/01KP31V7CAG2Z7N3E80YWS95TM https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP31Q0RNKJS7DPGEJ5J7M5T1/file/01KP31V7CAG2Z7N3E80YWS95TM eng Martinus Nijhoff info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Acta historiae neerlandicae IX : studies on the history of the Netherlands ISBN: 9789401159562 History and Archaeology A study of wealth and income in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Four recommendations for a stable and sustainable electricity market https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JKX9D8DWVR4DV3JCG3YFR58W Ovaere, Marten Schoors, Koen Hamels, Sam Laveyne, Joannes D'hulster, Aislinn 2023 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JKX9D8DWVR4DV3JCG3YFR58W http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JKX9D8DWVR4DV3JCG3YFR58W https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JKX9D8DWVR4DV3JCG3YFR58W/file/01JKX9DGB2MV3NHCRJ57K3ENWV dut Universiteit Gent.

One-to-one interactions are the building blocks of these emergent social structures and may correspond to friendship, grooming, communication, among other social relations. These structures should be robust to failures and provide efficient communication to compensate the costs of forming and maintaining the social contacts but the specific purpose of each social interaction regulates the evolution of the respective social networks. We collate 611 animal social networks and show that the number of social contacts E scales with group size N as a super-linear power-law E=CNβ for various species of animals, including humans, other mammals and non-mammals. We identify that the power-law exponent β varies according to the social function of the interactions as β=1+a/4, with a≈1,2,3,4. By fitting a multi-layer model to our data, we observe that the cost to cross social groups also varies according to social function. Relatively low costs are observed for physical contact, grooming and group membership which lead to small groups with high and constant social clustering. Offline friendship has similar patterns while online friendship shows weak social structures. The intermediate case of spatial proximity (with β=1.5 and clustering dependency on network size quantitatively similar to friendship) suggests that proximity interactions may be as relevant for the spread of infectious diseases as for social processes like friendship. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8712454 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8712454 http://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-92025-1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8712454/file/8712521 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess SCIENTIFIC REPORTS ISSN: 2045-2322 Social Sciences Biology and Life Sciences Multidisciplinary complex systems social networks complexity scaling evolutionary biology physics GROUP-SIZE NETWORKS BENEFITS LIFE The scaling of social interactions across animal species journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Unraveling preferences for religious ties in food transactions : a consumer perspective https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715123 D'Haene, Eline Tur Cardona, Juan Speelman, Stijn Schoors, Koen D'Haese, Marijke 2021 Food choices are key in communicating religious identities and marking religious boundaries. Whereas the literature has focused on religion's impact on food habits, the effect of religion on food market exchanges remains largely unexplored. Using the Ethiopian milk market as a case study, we conduct a series of innovative experimental choice tasks with urban dairy consumers to elicit their preferences for milk seller characteristics. In the choice tasks, milk seller profiles are constructed using five relevant attributes: milk price, distance to the selling point, seller type, seller gender, and seller religious affiliation. We observe consumer preferences for lower milk prices, shorter distances, and dairy farmers over milk shops. When accounting for attribute non-attendance, we find that consumers who take religion into account prefer co-religious sellers, and that consumers who take gender into account generally prefer female sellers. Our results enrich our understanding of the role of religion in purchase behavior and market segmentation. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715123 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8715123 http://doi.org/10.1111/agec.12643 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715123/file/8715690 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715123/file/8715690 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS ISSN: 0169-5150 ISSN: 1574-0862 Agriculture and Food Sciences Business and Economics Agronomy and Crop Science Economics and Econometrics consumer preferences discrete choice experiment ethiopia food transactions market segmentation religious ties ATTRIBUTE NON-ATTENDANCE DISCRETE-CHOICE EXPERIMENTS WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY ONLINE MARKET HALAL MEAT DISCRIMINATION INFORMATION HOUSEHOLDS VALUATION COUNTRIES Unraveling preferences for religious ties in food transactions : a consumer perspective journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion On the connection between real-world circumstances and online player behaviour : the case of EVE Online https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8680028 Belaza Vallejo, Andres M Ryckebusch, Jan Schoors, Koen Rocha, Luis E C Vandermarliere, Benjamin 2020 Games involving virtual worlds are popular in several segments of the population and societies. The online environment facilitates that players from different countries interact in a common virtual world. Virtual worlds involving social and economic interactions are particularly useful to test social and economic theories. Using data from EVE Online, a massive online multi-player game simulating a fantasy galaxy, we analyse the relation between the real-world context in which players live and their in-game behaviour at the country level. We find that in-game aggressiveness to non-player characters is positively related to real-world levels of aggressiveness as measured by the Global Peace Index and the Global Terrorist Index at the country level. The opposite is true for in-game aggressiveness towards other players, which seems to work as a safety valve for real-world player aggressiveness. The ability to make in-game friends is also positively related to real-world levels of aggressiveness in much the same way. In-game trading behaviour is dependent on the macro-economic environment where players live. The unemployment rate and exchange rate make players trade more efficiently and cautiously in-game. Overall, we find evidence that the real-world environment affects in-game behaviour, suggesting that virtual worlds can be used to experiment and test social and economic theories, and to infer real-world behaviour at the country level. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8680028 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8680028 http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0240196 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8680028/file/8680029 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess PLOS ONE ISSN: 1932-6203 Business and Economics Social Sciences General Biochemistry Genetics and Molecular Biology General Agricultural and Biological Sciences General Medicine STRUCTURAL BALANCE On the connection between real-world circumstances and online player behaviour : the case of EVE Online journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Chronic oxytocin administration does not rescue reduced neural sensitivity towards emotional faces in autism https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HTYZC6XWEZYW083TZVW023B3 Moerkerke, Matthijs Daniels, N Tibermont, L Van der Donck, S Tang, T Prinsen, J Steyaert, J Alaerts, K Boets, B 2023 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HTYZC6XWEZYW083TZVW023B3 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HTYZC6XWEZYW083TZVW023B3 eng NeuroCog Meeting 2023, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Chronic oxytocin administration does not rescue reduced neural sensitivity towards emotional faces in autism conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Land rights, local financial development and industrial activity : evidence from Flanders (nineteenth-early twentieth century) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637619 De Vijlder, Nicolas Schoors, Koen 2020 In this paper, we investigate the hypothesis that the economic divergence across Flemish localities between 1830 and 1910 is explained by the theory of Hernando de Soto. We hypothesize that the uniform land rights installed after the French revolution provided borrowers with an attractive form of collateral. Conditional on the presence of local financial development provided by a new government-owned bank this eased access to external finance and fostered industrial and commercial economic activity. Using primary historical data of about 1179 localities in Flanders, we find that the variation in the local value of land (collateral) and the variation in local financial development jointly explain a substantial amount of the variation in non-agricultural employment accumulated between 1830 and 1910. By 1910, industrial and commercial economic activity was more developed in localities where both early (1846) rural land prices were high and early (1880) local financial development was more pronounced, which is in line with the 'de Soto' hypothesis. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637619 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8637619 http://doi.org/10.1007/s11698-019-00196-9 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637619/file/8675050 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637619/file/8675050 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess CLIOMETRICA ISSN: 1863-2505 ISSN: 1863-2513 Business and Economics History and Archaeology Economics and Econometrics History De Soto Financial institutions Industrial development Land prices Flanders Nineteenth to twentieth centuries PROPERTY-RIGHTS 19TH-CENTURY REVOLUTION MARKETS Land rights, local financial development and industrial activity : evidence from Flanders (nineteenth-early twentieth century) journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Politics and banking in Russia : the rise of Putin https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8694396 Schoors, Koen Weill, Laurent 2020 We investigate whether lending by the dominant Russian state bank, Sberbank, contributed to Vladimir Putin's ascent to power during the presidential elections of March2000. Our hypothesis is that Sberbank corporate loans were used as incentives for managers at private firms to mobilize employees to vote for Putin. In line with our proposed voter mobilization mechanism, we find that the growth of regional corporate Sberbank loans in the months before the presidential election is related to the regional increase in votes for Putin and to the regional increase in voter turnout between the Duma election of December1999 and the presidential election of March2000. The effect is pronounced in regions where the governor is affiliated with the regime and in regions with extensive private employment, and less apparent in regions bequeathed with single-company towns, where voter intimidation suffices to get the required result. The results are highly robust. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8694396 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8694396 http://doi.org/10.1080/1060586X.2020.1785245 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8694396/file/8694397 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8694396/file/8694397 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess POST-SOVIET AFFAIRS ISSN: 1060-586X ISSN: 1938-2855 Business and Economics Law and Political Science Bank credit policy politics Russia GOVERNMENT-OWNED BANKS OWNERSHIP ELECTIONS REGIONS Politics and banking in Russia : the rise of Putin journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bank loyalty, social networks and crisis https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8548873 Atmaca, Sümeyra Schoors, Koen Verschelde, Marijn 2020 In this paper, we consider how the intensity and channels of the relation between social networks and bank loyalty vary according to the state of the economy. We analyze bank exit over the period 2005–2012 for over 300,000 retail clients of a commercial bank that experienced a bank run in 2008 due to a shock in solvency risk. The unique and rich data we constructed in close collaboration with the bank enables us to distinguish different sorts of family networks from neighborhood networks, while controlling for a wide range of client-level and branch-level characteristics and events. Using a proportional hazards model, we show the importance of family networks. In times of financial distress, family networks become even more important and retail clients take weaker, less direct social relationships into account. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8548873 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8548873 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbankfin.2017.12.007 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8548873/file/8548888 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8548873/file/8548888 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF BANKING & FINANCE ISSN: 0378-4266 ISSN: 1872-6372 Business and Economics Peer effects Social networks Bank exit Financial crisis RUNS CONTAGION BEHAVIOR MODELS PERILS PANICS Bank loyalty, social networks and crisis journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Depositor discipline during crisis : flight to familiarity or trust in local authorities? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637621 Schoors, Koen Semenova, Maria Zubanov, Andrey 2019 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637621 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8637621 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfs.2019.05.002 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637621/file/8637769 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8637621/file/8637769 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY ISSN: 1572-3089 ISSN: 1878-0962 Business and Economics Market discipline Depository institution Household deposit Flight to familiarity Regional affinity MARKET DISCIPLINE BANKS INSURANCE BEHAVIOR RISK Depositor discipline during crisis : flight to familiarity or trust in local authorities? journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Religion, food choices, and demand seasonality : evidence from the Ethiopian milk market https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8620430 D'Haene, Eline Desiere, Sam D'Haese, Marijke Verbeke, Wim Schoors, Koen 2019 The impact of religious behavior on food systems in developing economies has been understated in scholarly studies. With its different Christian, Islamic, and traditional faiths, Ethiopia emerges as a suitable country to investigate the impact of religious practices on demand. The inclusion of livestock products in Ethiopian diets is extremely low, even by African standards, a phenomenon often explained by supply and marketing problems combined with low income levels. We deviate from this dominant narrative and single out the impact of religion. We show how fasting practices of Orthodox Christians, the largest religious group, affect milk intake decisions and channels through which consumed milk is sourced. Employing country-wide data collected by the Living Standards Measurement Studies, we find, as expected, that Orthodox fasting adversely affects milk consumption and decreases the share of milk sourced from own production in Orthodox households, an effect we quantify in this paper. Moreover, we observe spillover effects of Orthodox fasting on other religious groups in dominant Orthodox localities. Our findings improve understanding of the broader societal implication of religiously inspired consumption rituals and underscore the challenges resulting from religion-induced demand cycles to design policies that aim at developing the livestock sector. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8620430 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8620430 http://doi.org/10.3390/foods8050167 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8620430/file/8620431 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess FOODS ISSN: 2304-8158 Agriculture and Food Sciences Social Sciences milk intake consumers demand seasonality religion Ethiopia BODY-COMPOSITION RAMADAN CONSUMPTION DIVERSITY HEALTH WILLINGNESS PERFORMANCE COUNTRIES CONSUMERS PATTERNS Religion, food choices, and demand seasonality : evidence from the Ethiopian milk market journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Social stability and extended social balance : quantifying the role of inactive links in social networks https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8586026 Belaza Vallejo, Andres M Ryckebusch, Jan Bramson, Aaron Casert, Corneel Hoefman, Kevin Schoors, Koen van den Heuvel, Milan Vandermarliere, Benjamin 2019 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8586026 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8586026 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2018.11.055 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8586026/file/8594039 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8586026/file/8594039 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess PHYSICA A-STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS ISSN: 0378-4371 ISSN: 1873-2119 Social Sciences Mathematics and Statistics Spin models in social networks Extended social balance Modeling of socio-economic systems Sociophysics BLUME-CAPEL MODEL STRUCTURAL BALANCE TRANSITION CONFLICTS Social stability and extended social balance : quantifying the role of inactive links in social networks journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The impact of functional and social value on the price of goods https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8582900 Hoefman, Kevin Bramson, Aaron Schoors, Koen Ryckebusch, Jan 2018 According to hedonic pricing theory (HPT) market forces operate on individual characteristics of a good, and the price of a product is the aggregate of the price across those characteristics. The relationship between price and characteristics remains poorly understood because characteristic qualities are hard to quantify, people have varying levels of information about characteristics, and people have heterogeneous preferences over characteristics. By analyzing data from a large, market-driven virtual world we are able to test HPT, while largely avoiding these pitfalls. We find that a linear model with functional characteristics predicts the prices poorly, but a log-linear model performs quite well. Adding social characteristics to this log-linear model improves the predictions substantially. This work strongly supports HPT and demonstrates a "rational" calculus including social value. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8582900 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8582900 http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0207075 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8582900/file/8582901 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess PLOS ONE ISSN: 1932-6203 Business and Economics CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION HEDONIC PRICES ART-MARKET MODEL ECONOMICS DEMAND CHOICE WINE PERCEPTIONS PREFERENCE The impact of functional and social value on the price of goods journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Statistical physics of balance theory https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8530113 Belaza Vallejo, Andres M Hoefman, Kevin Ryckebusch, Jan Bramson, Aaron van den Heuvel, Milan Schoors, Koen 2017 Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to quantitatively capture the dynamics of the four types of triadic relationships in a network. Central to our model are the triads’ incidence rates and the idea that those can be modeled by assigning a specific triadic energy to each type of triadic relation. We emphasize the role of the degeneracy of the different triads and how it impacts the degree of frustration in the political network. In order to account for a persistent form of disorder in the formation of the triadic relationships, we introduce the systemic variable temperature. In order to learn about the dynamics and motives, we propose a generic Hamiltonian with three terms to model the triadic energies. One term is connected with a three-body interaction that captures balance theory. The other terms take into account the impact of heterogeneity and of negative edges in the triads. The validity of our model is tested on four datasets including the time series of triadic relationships for the standings between two classes of alliances in a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG). We also analyze real-world data for the relationships between the “agents” involved in the Syrian civil war, and in the relations between countries during the Cold War era. We find emerging properties in the triadic relationships in a political network, for example reflecting itself in a persistent hierarchy between the four triadic energies, and in the consistency of the extracted parameters from comparing the model Hamiltonian to the data. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8530113 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8530113 http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0183696 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8530113/file/8530114 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess PLOS ONE ISSN: 1932-6203 Physics and Astronomy Social Sciences International relations Entropy Political Networks Statistical mechanics Social Balance Cold War Civil War STRUCTURAL BALANCE SOCIAL NETWORKS ORGANIZATION DYNAMICS Statistical physics of balance theory journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Historische criminologie : een inleiding https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFWWZSVRT95FE4B8X214VP0Z De Koster, Margo 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KFWWZSVRT95FE4B8X214VP0Z http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KFWWZSVRT95FE4B8X214VP0Z urn:isbn:9789464759211 dut Owl Press No license (in copyright) Social Sciences Historische criminologie : een inleiding book info:eu-repo/semantics/book info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion School staff autonomy and educational performance : within school type evidence https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5760980 Verschelde, Marijn Hindriks, Jean Rayp, Glenn Schoors, Koen 2015 In this paper, we show the effect of school staff autonomy on educational performance. The value-added compared to the existing body of literature is that we employ variation in autonomy within the same country and within the same school type in order to reduce the omitted variable problem. To fully capture the informational advantage of local actors, we define autonomy as the operational empowerment of the school's direction and teachers. The Flemish secondary school system in Belgium is analysed because it displays unique within-school-type variation in school staff autonomy. This variation originates from autonomously operating school governing bodies that can group multiple schools and are free to delegate responsibilities to the school staff. This variation is likely exogenous because it is mainly driven by approximately random variation in characteristics and composition of the school boards. Combining detailed school-level and pupil-level data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006 study with a semi-parametric hierarchical model, we find a strong positive effect of school staff autonomy on educational performance. The result is shown to be robust to problems of reverse causality and simultaneity. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5760980 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-5760980 http://doi.org/10.1111/1475-5890.12048 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5760980/file/5760981 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess FISCAL STUDIES ISSN: 0143-5671 ISSN: 1475-5890 Business and Economics PISA educational production function school autonomy semi-parametric I28 H52 educational performance WORLD EFFICIENCY MOTIVATION ACHIEVEMENT YARDSTICK COMPETITION School staff autonomy and educational performance : within school type evidence journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Beyond the power law : uncovering stylized facts in interbank networks https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5878649 Vandermarliere, Benjamin Karas, Alexei Ryckebusch, Jan Schoors, Koen 2015 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5878649 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-5878649 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2015.01.058 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5878649/file/5916568 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5878649/file/5916568 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess PHYSICA A-STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS ISSN: 0378-4371 ISSN: 1873-2119 Mathematics and Statistics Stretched exponential Distributions Heavy tailed Lognormal Interbank networks Power law SYSTEMIC RISK MARKET DISTRIBUTIONS STABILITY CONTAGION TOPOLOGY MONEY Beyond the power law : uncovering stylized facts in interbank networks journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Investment-cash flow sensitivity and financial constraints : evidence from unquoted European SMEs https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8115757 Mulier, Klaas Schoors, Koen Merlevede, Bruno 2016 We contribute to the financial constraints literature and the investment-cash flow sensitivity debate by defining a new and simple index of firm level financial constraints for unquoted European SMEs. Firms that are constrained according to our index pay higher interest rates on their debt. An exogenous financial supply shock reveals that our index also captures financial constraints in terms of the volume of credit. Our index outperforms existing indices in capturing financial constraints of unquoted SMEs.

For instance, a higher prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported in PT-born children. Yet, social impairments may be subtle and subclinical, and may thus stay unnoticed and untreated. Therefore, more sensitive approaches are needed to elucidate the underlying deficits in PT-born children. Here, we investigate the long-term impact of PT birth on the quality of socio-communicative sensitivity (in particular face processing) in school-aged children. Thirty-nine 8-to-12-year old children born between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation participated in our study that comprises of an extensive multimodal test battery (including neural measures, autonomic nervous system physiology measures, eye-tracking, questionnaires and saliva samples). As face processing is crucial for social interactions and several PT studies report impaired face processing based on face recognition and facial emotion recognition tasks, innovative frequency-tagging EEG-paradigms were implemented to investigate these two aspects of face processing (expression and identity discrimination) implicitly. More specifically, we evaluated the ability of our PT-born participants to discriminate between neutral and emotional (fearful and happy) faces on one hand and to discriminate a specific individual amongst different individuals on the other hand, and whether this differed compared to their term-born peers (matched on age and gender). We found successful implicit face processing for both the PT-born children as their term-born peers, with the PT-born children even showing a greater neural sensitivity towards faces. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HTYZC6YDEGFK2BJ9FJZC98JJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HTYZC6YDEGFK2BJ9FJZC98JJ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HTYZC6YDEGFK2BJ9FJZC98JJ/file/01JR876DM8G1VWH7AX5MQA13MG https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HTYZC6YDEGFK2BJ9FJZC98JJ/file/01JR876DM8G1VWH7AX5MQA13MG eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Leuven Brain Institute (LBI) Scientific Meeting 2022, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Understanding face processing and socio-communicative impairments in school-aged preterm-born children conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Le droit social comparé comme première étape vers un droit social international : le cas du conseil de prud’hommes d’appel belge (1910-1970) par rapport à la France https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP33X6Z6HMCGXQ4R9D578CFB Van de Woestijne, Jasper 2026 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP33X6Z6HMCGXQ4R9D578CFB http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP33X6Z6HMCGXQ4R9D578CFB https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP33X6Z6HMCGXQ4R9D578CFB/file/01KP34NVD36EV7FNJS3YPTHBCQ fre Associazione Culturale "Historia et ius" info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess La nascita del diritto sociale internazionale 1889-1919.

Richer, M. Sánchez‐Díaz, Gabriela Miranda‐Quintana, Ramón Alain Verstraelen, Toon Heidar Zadeh, Farnaz Ayers, Paul W. 2023 Fanpy is a free and open-source Python library for developing and testing multideterminant wavefunctions and related ab initio methods in electronic structure theory. The main use of Fanpy is to quickly prototype new methods by making it easier to convert the mathematical formulation of a new wavefunction ansatze to a working implementation. Fanpy is designed based on our recently introduced Flexible Ansatz for N-electron Configuration Interaction (FANCI) framework, where multideterminant wavefunctions are represented by their overlaps with Slater determinants of orthonormal spin-orbitals. In the simplest case, a new wavefunction ansatz can be implemented by simply writing a function for evaluating its overlap with an arbitrary Slater determinant. Fanpy is modular in both implementation and theory: the wavefunction model, the system's Hamiltonian, and the choice of objective function are all independent modules. This modular structure makes it easy for users to mix and match different methods and for developers to quickly explore new ideas. Fanpy is written purely in Python with standard dependencies, making it accessible for various operating systems. In addition, it adheres to principles of modern software development, including comprehensive documentation, extensive testing, quality assurance, and continuous integration and delivery protocols. This article is considered to be the official release notes for the Fanpy library. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQF0TQPRZS598V01BBJW1602 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01GQF0TQPRZS598V01BBJW1602 http://doi.org/10.1002/jcc.27034 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQF0TQPRZS598V01BBJW1602/file/01GTXTNKCY5X3M97PACHRVTSND eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY ISSN: 0192-8651 ISSN: 1096-987X Physics and Astronomy ab initio electronic structure FANCI method development Python SEPARATED-PAIR APPROXIMATION GENERALIZED ANTISYMMETRIZED PRODUCT COUPLED-CLUSTER THEORY ELECTRON CORRELATION DIATOMIC-MOLECULES WAVE-FUNCTIONS SEMIEMPIRICAL THEORY DENSITY-MATRICES MODEL GEMINALS Fanpy : a python library for prototyping multideterminant methods in ab initio quantum chemistry journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Sensitivity analysis for ReaxFF reparametrization using the Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01H8BQEFR0ZJBJVW1M01WDCYMJ Freitas Gustavo, Michael Hellström, Matti Verstraelen, Toon 2023 We apply a global sensitivity method, the Hilbert- Schmidt independence criterion (HSIC), to the reparametrization of a Zn/S/H ReaxFF force field to identify the most appropriate parameters for reparametrization. Parameter selection remains a challenge in this context, as high-dimensional optimizations are prone to overfitting and take a long time but selecting too few parameters leads to poor-quality force fields. We show that the HSIC correctly and quickly identifies the most sensitive parameters and that optimizations done using a small number of sensitive parameters outperform those done using a higher-dimensional reasonable-user parameter selection. Optimizations using only sensitive parameters (1) converge faster, (2) have loss values comparable to those found with the naive selection, (3) have similar accuracy in validation tests, and (4) do not suffer from problems of overfitting. We demonstrate that an HSIC global sensitivity is a cheap optimization preprocessing step that has both qualitative and quantitative benefits which can substantially simplify and speed up ReaxFF reparametrizations. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01H8BQEFR0ZJBJVW1M01WDCYMJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01H8BQEFR0ZJBJVW1M01WDCYMJ http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.2c01320 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01H8BQEFR0ZJBJVW1M01WDCYMJ/file/01HDDYGBXKVXH0R14B4KTHZG1X eng info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/814143 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL THEORY AND COMPUTATION ISSN: 1549-9618 ISSN: 1549-9626 Physics and Astronomy Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Computer Science Applications REACTIVE FORCE-FIELD MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS FEATURE-SELECTION OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS DEPENDENCE ZNS FRAMEWORK FIT Sensitivity analysis for ReaxFF reparametrization using the Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A new framework for frequency-dependent polarizable force fields https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GPDXWC0B3W78X3RJXA4APWCG Cheng, YingXing Verstraelen, Toon 2022 A frequency-dependent extension of the polarizable force field "Atom-Condensed Kohn-Sham density functional theory approximated to the second-order " (ACKS2) [Verstraelen et al., J. Chem. Phys. 141, 194114 (2014)] is proposed, referred to as ACKS2 omega. The method enables theoretical predictions of dynamical response properties of finite systems after partitioning of the frequency-dependent molecular response function. Parameters in this model are computed simply as expectation values of an electronic wavefunction, and the hardness matrix is entirely reused from ACKS2 as an adiabatic approximation is used. A numerical validation shows that accurate models can already be obtained with atomic monopoles and dipoles. Absorption spectra of 42 organic and inorganic molecular monomers are evaluated using ACKS2 omega, and our results agree well with the time-dependent DFT calculations. Also for the calculation of C-6 dispersion coefficients, ACKS2 omega closely reproduces its TDDFT reference. When parameters for ACKS2 omega are derived from a PBE/aug-cc-pVDZ ground state, it reproduces experimental values for 903 organic and inorganic intermolecular pairs with an MAPE of 3.84%. Our results confirm that ACKS2 omega offers a solid connection between the quantum-mechanical description of frequency-dependent response and computationally efficient force-field models. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GPDXWC0B3W78X3RJXA4APWCG http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01GPDXWC0B3W78X3RJXA4APWCG http://doi.org/10.1063/5.0115151 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GPDXWC0B3W78X3RJXA4APWCG/file/01GTXTWZ0YX1R1RJ8HYGZEC1PE eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS ISSN: 0021-9606 ISSN: 1089-7690 Physics and Astronomy DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY ELECTRONEGATIVITY EQUALIZATION METHOD MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS FLUCTUATING CHARGE FLOQUET FORMULATION LINEAR-RESPONSE EXCITATION-ENERGIES ATOMIC CHARGES MODEL WATER A new framework for frequency-dependent polarizable force fields journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Charting the complete thermodynamic landscape of gas adsorption for a responsive metal–organic framework https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8705733 Goeminne, Ruben Krause, Simon Kaskel, Stefan Verstraelen, Toon Evans, Jack D. 2021 New nanoporous materials have the ability to revolutionize adsorption and separation processes. In particular, materials with adaptive cavities have high selectivity and may display previously undiscovered phenomena, such as negative gas adsorption (NGA), in which gas is released from the framework upon an increase in pressure. Although the thermodynamic driving force behind this and many other counterintuitive adsorption phenomena have been thoroughly investigated in recent years, several experimental observations remain difficult to explain. This necessitates a comprehensive analysis of gas adsorption akin to the conformational free energy landscapes used to understand the function of proteins. We have constructed the complete thermodynamic landscape of methane adsorption on DUT-49. Traversing this complex landscape reproduces the experimentally observed structural transitions, temperature dependence, and the hysteresis between adsorption and desorption. The complete thermodynamic description presented here provides unparalleled insight into adsorption and provides a framework to understand other adsorbents that challenge our preconceptions. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8705733 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8705733 http://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.1c00522 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8705733/file/8705738 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8705733/file/8705738 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY ISSN: 0002-7863 ISSN: 1520-5126 Physics and Astronomy Chemistry Colloid and Surface Chemistry Biochemistry General Chemistry Catalysis Charting the complete thermodynamic landscape of gas adsorption for a responsive metal–organic framework journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Improving the silicon interactions of GFN-xTB https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8730192 Komissarov, Leonid Maximowitsch Verstraelen, Toon 2021 A general-purpose density functional tight binding method, the GFN-xTB model is gaining increased popularity in accurate simulations that are out of scope for conventional ab initio formalisms.

Although X‐ray‐based imaging techniques remain the clinical standard for bone assessment, they are constrained by ionizing radiation exposure and poor soft‐tissue contrast. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a promising radiation‐free alternative, enabling detailed evaluation of tissue properties, bone microstructure, functional status, and pathological changes. However, the intrinsically low proton density and rapid transverse relaxation of bone tissue present fundamental technical challenges. Over the past decades, numerous MRI‐based techniques have been developed to address these limitations. Yet, the literature remains fragmented. This review synthesizes recent advancements in bone MRI, covering conventional sequences (e.g., T1‐weighted and T2‐weighted imaging), advanced sequences (e.g., ultrashort echo time and zero echo time), metabolic imaging sequences (e.g., magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI), and hardware innovations (e.g., ultra‐high‐field MRI at 7/14 T). The strengths and limitations of these techniques are discussed, and their roles are highlighted in early diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and management of diverse bone disorders, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteosarcoma, and osteonecrosis. Furthermore, we explore how artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning models, enhances MRI capabilities by reducing scanning time, adding synthetic contrasts like synthetic CT, improving image quality, and increasing diagnostic accuracy. Finally, we outline challenges and future directions to advance bone assessment. This comprehensive review may guide preclinical research and accelerate clinical translation of bone MRI techniques, ultimately improving musculoskeletal disease management.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Level of Evidence</jats:title> <jats:p>4.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Technical Efficacy</jats:title> <jats:p>Stage 2.</jats:p> </jats:sec> https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP33GH65PC2HNGD65V51JVFG http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP33GH65PC2HNGD65V51JVFG http://doi.org/10.1002/jmri.70330 eng Wiley Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ISSN: 1053-1807 ISSN: 1522-2586 Bone Magnetic Resonance Imaging: From Conventional Methods to AI‐Driven Solutions journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion First depressed, then discriminated against? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7249914 Baert, Stijn De Visschere, Sarah Schoors, Koen Vandenberghe, Désirée Omey, Eddy 2016 Each year a substantial share of the European population suffers from major depression. This mental illness may affect individuals’ later life outcomes indirectly by the stigma it inflicts. The present study assesses hiring discrimination based on disclosed depression. To this end, between May 2015 and July 2015, we sent out 288 trios of job applications from fictitious candidates to real vacancies in Belgium. Within each trio, one candidate claimed to have become unemployed only recently, whereas the other two candidates revealed former depression or no reason at all for their unemployment during a full year. Disclosing a year of inactivity due to former depression decreases the probability of getting a job interview invitation by about 34% when compared with candidates who just became unemployed, but the stigma effect of a year of depression is not significantly higher than the stigma effect of a year of unexplained unemployment. In addition, we found that these stigmas of depression and unemployment were driven by our male trios of fictitious candidates. As a consequence, our results are in favour of further research on gender heterogeneity in the stigma of depression and other health impairments. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7249914 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-7249914 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2016.06.033 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7249914/file/8158819 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess SOCIAL SCIENCE & MEDICINE ISSN: 0277-9536 Business and Economics Belgium Health Depression Hiring discrimination Field experiments MENTAL-ILLNESS FIELD EXPERIMENT UNEMPLOYMENT HEALTH STIGMA PEOPLE IMPACT DISORDERS GENDER EUROPE First depressed, then discriminated against? journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A 'de Soto effect' in industry?

But assessments of these potential effects have proven inconclusive. One reason may be that research has focused on actors that face difficulties accessing credit for reasons other than the security of land tenure. We explore the effect of greater tenure security in a setting in which non-land-related financial market frictions are apt to be mildthat is, among large urban industrial enterprises. Exploiting policy variation across Russian regions and firm-level survey data, we show that private land rights facilitate credit access and promote investment. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8513491 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8513491 http://doi.org/10.1086/684042 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8513491/file/8513496 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8513491/file/8513496 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF LAW & ECONOMICS ISSN: 0022-2186 ISSN: 1537-5285 Business and Economics cerise PROPERTY-RIGHTS INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES INVESTMENT INCENTIVES TRANSITION PRIVATIZATION SELECTION MARKETS MODELS A 'de Soto effect' in industry?

Deze methode maakt de directe vorming van zeer poreuze en kristallijne structuren mogelijk, zonder het gebruik van oplosmiddelen, hoge druk of uitgebreide processtappen. Door de eenvoud, lage kost en beperkte ecologische impact is IST een veelbelovende aanpak voor grootschalige productie van MOF-materialen. Met de IST-methode werden ZIF-8 en ZIF-67 gemodificeerd met metalen zoals koper, palladium, ijzer, mangaan en nikkel. Hierdoor ontstonden materialen met verbeterde katalytische en adsorptieve eigenschappen, dankzij een betere metaalverdeling, gecontroleerde porositeit en geoptimaliseerde actieve sites. De aldus verkregen katalysatoren vertoonden een hoge efficiëntie in belangrijke organische reacties, waaronder click-chemie en koolstof-koolstofkoppelingen, zelfs onder milde omstandigheden. Daarnaast bleken de via IST gesynthetiseerde ZIF-adsorbenten zeer effectief in het verwijderen van schadelijke organische vervuilers uit water, zoals malachietgroen en doxycycline. Hun hiërarchische poriestructuur en gunstige oppervlaktechemie zorgden voor snelle opname en goede herbruikbaarheid. Dit onderzoek toont aan dat de IST-methode een duurzame en veelzijdige strategie biedt voor het ontwikkelen van hoogwaardige ZIF-materialen, met belangrijke toepassingen in groene katalyse, waterzuivering en industriële processen. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGGVFTHEQMPH0V4MMZ5NWS2V http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KGGVFTHEQMPH0V4MMZ5NWS2V eng Ghent University.

To do so, we exploit regional banking variations in Russia induced by the idiosyncratic creation of "specialized banks" in the last years of the Soviet Union (1988-91) that were subsequently privatized. Starting in 1999 private banks including surviving spetsbanks emerged as an important source of external finance for private firms and households. We document that the regional concentration of spetsbanks in the early years of the Russian federation is orthogonal to economic fundamentals that are related to growth after the emergence of bank finance. Results indicate that while privatized banking increased lending significantly, it did not increase economic growth. However, privatization did increase growth when banks retained fewer political connections and when regional property rights were better protected, highlighting the importance of both factors. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8513065 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8513065 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdeveco.2014.05.005 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8513065/file/8513068 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS ISSN: 0304-3878 ISSN: 1872-6089 Business and Economics Bank privatization Finance Growth Political connections Property rights Spetsbanks (specialized banks) GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP RUSSIA VARIABLES QUALITY Bank privatization, finance, and growth journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion FDI spillovers and time since foreign entry https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4361969 Merlevede, Bruno Schoors, Koen Spatareanu, Mariana 2014 This study investigates the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the productivity of local firms. In contrast to existing literature our empirical approach does not require FDI to have immediate or permanent effects. We find that foreign entry initially negatively affects local competitors’ productivity, followed by a positive permanent effect from majority foreign owned firms present for longer time. The effect on the productivity of local suppliers, in contrast, is transient. Majority foreign owned firms boost local suppliers’ productivity a few years after entry, then the effect fades out. Minority foreign owned firms have similar but smaller effect. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4361969 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-4361969 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2013.10.022 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4361969/file/4374789 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/4361969/file/4374789 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess WORLD DEVELOPMENT ISSN: 0305-750X Business and Economics timing FDI PLANT PRODUCTIVITY BACKWARD LINKAGES UNITED-STATES spillovers LOCAL-PARTICIPATION DEVELOPING-COUNTRIES PRODUCTIVITY SPILLOVERS MULTINATIONAL FIRMS DIRECT-INVESTMENT FDI DOMESTIC FIRMS dynamics TECHNOLOGY-TRANSFER FDI spillovers and time since foreign entry journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Political connections and depositor discipline https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3220968 Disli, Mustafa Schoors, Koen Meir, Jos 2013 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3220968 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-3220968 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfs.2013.04.005 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3220968/file/7207960 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3220968/file/7207960 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY ISSN: 1572-3089 ISSN: 1878-0962 Business and Economics Depositor discipline Political connections Banks PANEL-DATA MODELS AFFECT FIRM VALUE MARKET DISCIPLINE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRIVATIZED FIRMS SELECTION BIAS BANKING CRISES INSURANCE STATE OWNERSHIP Political connections and depositor discipline journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bank competition and outreach: evidence from Turkey https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7204686 Aysan, Ahmet Disli, Mustafa Schoors, Koen 2013 In light of the importance of banking sector outreach and given concerns that competition may adversely affect it, this study explores the empirical linkage between banking structure and outreach in Turkey for the period 1988-2010. Bank-, province-, and bank-province-level estimation results indicate that competition is in general conducive to the outreach of banks. We do not find evidence for collusive behavior among banks when they have multimarket contact. At the province level, the presence of foreign-owned banks is associated with higher outreach, while at the bank-province level, we observe that outreach of domestic banks exceeds that of foreign banks. Together, these results suggest that there are procompetitive spillover effects from foreign banks to their domestic counterparts. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7204686 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-7204686 http://doi.org/10.2753/REE1540-496X4905S501 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7204686/file/7207795 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7204686/file/7207795 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess EMERGING MARKETS FINANCE AND TRADE ISSN: 1540-496X ISSN: 1558-0938 Business and Economics multimarket contact bank competition bank outreach INTERNATIONAL EVIDENCE FINANCIAL DEPENDENCE GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP CREDIT AVAILABILITY MULTIMARKET CONTACT EMERGING MARKETS GROWTH EVIDENCE INTEREST-RATES FOREIGN BANKS INDUSTRY Bank competition and outreach: evidence from Turkey journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The geopolitics of Digital twins : a tale of three cities https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNPN0B9N29NGKH1K708FGD0T Santaniello, Mauro Fonseca Diaz, Carlos Andres 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KNPN0B9N29NGKH1K708FGD0T http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KNPN0B9N29NGKH1K708FGD0T http://doi.org/10.53227/116585 eng RIVISTA DI DIGITAL POLITICS ISSN: 2785-0072 Social Sciences Digital Twins Geopolitics Socio-Technical Assemblage Governance Digital Corporation The geopolitics of Digital twins : a tale of three cities journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion When tracking fails : analyzing failure modes of SAM2 for point-based tracking in surgical videos https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP318R2T86CA1BXCYDNKQX3T Dou, Q Ban, Y Jin, Y Bano, S Unberath, M Jang, Woowon Im, Jiwon Choi, Juseung Rashidian, Niki De Neve, Wesley Özbulak, Utku 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-01-03 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2027-01-03 Video object segmentation (VOS) models such as SAM2 offer promising zero-shot tracking capabilities for surgical videos using minimal user input. Among the available input types, point-based tracking offers an efficient and low-cost alternative, yet its reliability and failure cases in complex surgical environments are not well understood. In this work, we systematically analyze the failure modes of point-based tracking in laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos. Focusing on three surgical targets, the gallbladder, grasper, and L-hook electrocautery, we compare the performance of point-based tracking with segmentation mask initialization. Our results show that point-based tracking is competitive for surgical tools but consistently underperforms for anatomical targets, where tissue similarity and ambiguous boundaries lead to failure. Through qualitative analysis, we reveal key factors influencing tracking outcomes and provide several actionable recommendations for selecting and placing tracking points to improve performance in surgical video analysis. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP318R2T86CA1BXCYDNKQX3T http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP318R2T86CA1BXCYDNKQX3T http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-09784-2_10 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP318R2T86CA1BXCYDNKQX3T/file/01KP319WPRF7B8PV6FTQ345YEY https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP318R2T86CA1BXCYDNKQX3T/file/01KP319WPRF7B8PV6FTQ345YEY eng Springer Cham info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess COLLABORATIVE INTELLIGENCE AND AUTONOMY IN IMAGE-GUIDED SURGERY, COLAS 2025 ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783032097835 ISBN: 9783032097842 Technology and Engineering Video object segmentation SAM2 Surgical video understanding Surgical AI When tracking fails : analyzing failure modes of SAM2 for point-based tracking in surgical videos conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Corporate governance, opaque bank activities, and risk/return efficiency : pre- and post-crisis evidence from Turkey https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3060568 De Jonghe, Olivier Disli, Mustafa Schoors, Koen 2012 Does better corporate governance unambiguously improve the risk/return efficiency of banks? Or does either a re-orientation of banks' revenue mix towards more opaque products, an economic downturn, or tighter supervision create off-setting or reinforcing effects? The authors relate bank efficiency to shortfalls from a stochastic risk/return frontier. They analyze how internal governance mechanisms (CEO duality, board experience, political connections, and education profile) and external governance mechanisms (discipline exerted by shareholders, depositors, or skilled employees) determine efficiency in a sample of Turkish banks. The 2000 financial crisis was a wake-up call for bank efficiency and corporate governance. As a result, better corporate governance mechanisms have been able to improve risk/return efficiency when the economic, regulatory, and supervisory environments are more stable and bank products are more complex. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3060568 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-3060568 http://doi.org/10.1007/s10693-011-0115-x https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3060568/file/6781488 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3060568/file/6781488 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH ISSN: 0920-8550 Business and Economics DEPOSIT-INSURANCE RISK-TAKING POLITICAL CONNECTIONS CAPITAL REGULATION EQUITY PRICES PERFORMANCE DIVERSIFICATION DETERMINANTS OWNERSHIP DIRECTORS Corporate governance Bank risk Noninterest income Crisis Frontier Corporate governance, opaque bank activities, and risk/return efficiency : pre- and post-crisis evidence from Turkey journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bank depositor behavior in Russia in the aftermath of financial crisis https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/3098982 Pyle, William Schoors, Koen Semenova, Maria Yudaeva, Ksenia 2012 An international team of economists examines the factors influencing the behavior of Russian depositors in the immediate aftermath of that country's 1998 financial -crisis, drawing upon two largely unutilized data sources-data from the Russian state savings bank Sberbank and a November 1998 household survey. After first reviewing the evolution of the household deposit market during the 1990s, they explore regional variations in net withdrawals from Sberbank branches during the period August-October 1998 as well as identify characteristics of individual/household depositors making (or attempting to make) such withdrawals. More severe runs on Sberbank outlets are found to be associated with more affluent and entrepreneurial regions, regions of more youthful and less educated population closer to Moscow, and areas with greater media freedom. Subsequent public opinion survey analysis of the socioeconomic correlates of runs on all Russian banks during the 1998 crisis reveals some interesting differences (in the effects of education in particular) on the propensity to successfully withdraw deposits.

The sensitivity of households to bank capitalization diminishes markedly after the introduction of deposit insurance.

Intranasal administration of oxytocin has been considered a potential therapeutic option for improving social difficulties in autism, either by enhancing the salience of social cues or by reducing the social stress and anxiety experienced in social encounters.MethodsWe recorded fMRI brain activity while presenting neutral, fearful and scrambled faces, to compare the neural face processing signature of autistic children (n = 58) with that of matched non-autistic controls (n = 38). Next, in the autistic children group, we implemented this fMRI face processing task in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose oxytocin clinical trial, to evaluate the impact of four-week repeated oxytocin administration (24 IU daily dose) on brain activity in face processing regions.ResultsNo significant diagnostic-group differences were identified between autistic versus non-autistic children with regard to neural face processing. Furthermore, no significant treatment effects were found in the oxytocin clinical trial. However, exploratory analyses (uncorrected for multiple comparisons) demonstrated decreases in brain activity in the left superior temporal sulcus (STS) and inferior frontal region in the oxytocin compared to the placebo group, and change-from-baseline analyses in the oxytocin group revealed significantly reduced neural activity in the core face-processing network (STS, inferior occipital, and posterior fusiform), as well as in amygdala and inferior frontal region.ConclusionThese findings suggest an attenuating effect of multiple-dose oxytocin administration on neural face processing, potentially supporting the anxiolytic account of oxytocin. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCR2MJ1Y78R5AF6CNAQM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEY2MCR2MJ1Y78R5AF6CNAQM http://doi.org/10.1186/s13229-024-00635-z https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEY2MCR2MJ1Y78R5AF6CNAQM/file/01KP31JJGJVP56XWK0G882VE9Q eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess MOLECULAR AUTISM ISSN: 2040-2392 Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Autism Face processing fMRI Chronic oxytocin administration Expressive faces SPECTRUM DISORDERS EMOTIONAL FACES AMYGDALA REACTIVITY NEURAL CIRCUITRY INDIVIDUAL FACE FACIAL EMOTION RECOGNITION BRAIN METAANALYSIS ACTIVATION Impact of chronic intranasal oxytocin administration on face expression processing in autistic children : a randomized controlled trial using fMRI journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Does court-supervised reorganization work?

Exploring the interplay of fear of failure, competition, cooperation and sense of belonging in education in England and Flanders https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCKMQ3B02EC9F1454ZT2AWS6 Jackson, Carolyn Van Houtte, Mieke 2026 Fear of failure is damaging in a host of ways yet is rife in many schools. Drawing on self-worth theory, we explore whether fear of academic failure is higher in education systems with features that increase students' experiences of competition. To do this, we compare two very different education systems: England, where, for instance, national high-stakes tests are frequent; and Flanders, which had no national testing. Using PISA data generated in 2018, we explore whether and how fear of failure is associated with competition, as well as if and how perceived cooperation and sense of belonging play a role. t-Tests (SPSS) of data of 5242 English and 4882 Flemish students show that, on average, English students display more fear of failure, report more competition in school, are more competitive, perceive less cooperation and report less sense of belonging than Flemish students. Multilevel analyses (HLM7.0) show that the association between region and fear of failure is explained partly by students experiencing more competition in England. We conclude that, to reduce fear of failure, it is important to create education systems that de-emphasise competition (e.g., by reducing high-stakes testing) and that instead foster cooperation and a sense of belonging. Reducing fear of failure is particularly important right now as there are mounting concerns in many countries about increasing mental health problems among young people. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCKMQ3B02EC9F1454ZT2AWS6 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KCKMQ3B02EC9F1454ZT2AWS6 http://doi.org/10.1002/berj.70043 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCKMQ3B02EC9F1454ZT2AWS6/file/01KP31JXEBFVGV9ZRTPRFS7FHT eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess BRITISH EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH JOURNAL ISSN: 0141-1926 ISSN: 1469-3518 Social Sciences competition cooperation fear of failure self-worth protection sense of belonging SOCIAL INTERDEPENDENCE GOAL THEORY ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION STUDENTS STRESS System failure?

Drawing on experimental and survey data from 240 smallholder farmers in Siaya County, Kenya, we investigate how socio-economic characteristics and membership of producer organizations influence decision-making. By eliciting Certainty Equivalents to estimate individual-level probability weighting functions, we analyze the roles of sensitivity and pessimism as uncertainty preference parameters in shaping proposer behavior. We further explore inequality aversion and preferences for individually advantageous allocations by comparing participants' theoretical utility-maximizing decisions, as predicted by the model, with their actual observed behavior. The findings reveal significant variations in decision-making across producer organization types, providing fresh insights into the behavioral foundations of economic decision-making in non-Western contexts. This study not only advances the methodological scope of Ultimatum Game analysis but also enhances the applicability of experimental approaches in diverse socioeconomic settings. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1Z8D072E58Z26HYPAS5D2GW http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K1Z8D072E58Z26HYPAS5D2GW http://doi.org/10.1016/j.socec.2025.102426 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1Z8D072E58Z26HYPAS5D2GW/file/01K1Z8W7FE9WQ1SRHFFD3653M8 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1Z8D072E58Z26HYPAS5D2GW/file/01K2C1YSRJ4AJHWXSX1PVARFST https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1Z8D072E58Z26HYPAS5D2GW/file/01K1Z8W7FE9WQ1SRHFFD3653M8 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ECONOMICS ISSN: 2214-8043 ISSN: 2214-8051 Business and Economics Beliefs Inequality Aversion Kenya Prospect Theory Ultimatum Game Uncertainty Preferences PROSPECT-THEORY BARGAINING EXPERIMENTS FAIRNESS RISK EXPECTATIONS DECISION UTILITY TRUST RECIPROCITY INFORMATION Uncertainty and inequality preferences in the Ultimatum Game : a case study on Kenyan smallholder farmers journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Tracking demographic and financial trends in renewable energy cooperative membership in Belgium using survey and bank transaction data https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1ZAYA9SGN2GBHBPZ5CZR0SQ Van Steenberghe, Melita D'hulster, Aislinn Weytjens, Johannes Ovaere, Marten Schoors, Koen 2025 Renewable energy cooperatives (RECs) are put forward by the European Union (EU) to transition to an inclusive and sustainable energy market by engaging citizens in renewable energy projects. However, little is known about the dynamics of REC membership over time and the difference between new members entering compared to existing members. This study investigates the demographic and financial profiles of members of 25 RECs in Belgium from 2012 to 2022, representing around 100,000 members. Analyzing anonymous transaction data from 1.3 million bank customers, we find that REC members typically have higher wealth, income, and consumption levels than non-members, with the gap widening over time. New members closely match the financial and age profiles of existing members, following the same upward, diverging trajectory, and indicating a trend towards a homogeneous and ageing membership. To diversify REC membership, we conducted surveys with REC members and non-members. The results reveal that potential new members are typically younger and wealthier residents who have better knowledge of RECs and a more pro-environmental mindset. These findings highlight the opportunity for RECs to innovate and engage a more diverse membership of citizens participating in the renewable energy transition. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1ZAYA9SGN2GBHBPZ5CZR0SQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K1ZAYA9SGN2GBHBPZ5CZR0SQ http://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-05447-x https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K1ZAYA9SGN2GBHBPZ5CZR0SQ/file/01K21XR84FC1GQ3HG1GRRHG8YP eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATIONS ISSN: 2662-9992 Business and Economics COMMUNITY ENERGY WILLINGNESS PARTICIPATE NETWORKS GERMANY Tracking demographic and financial trends in renewable energy cooperative membership in Belgium using survey and bank transaction data journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion For better or for worse : how mutual credit systems bolster resilience of small firms https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNSYMMA8SR74XQHDNWS Reyns, Ariane Hudon, Marek Schoors, Koen 2025 This study provides the first firm-level evidence of the impact of a Mutual Credit System (MCS) on firm resilience. MCSs were introduced in local economies as monetary systems for firms, with the explicit intention of offering their member firms a network of support. We employ a staggered difference-in-differences approach on a novel transaction dataset to assess the impact of MCS membership on firm liquidity and revenue. Our findings unveil a nuanced pattern: during periods of stability, MCS membership appears to entail costs, but its impact turns decidedly positive in periods of economic turbulence. Small firms reap the most significant benefits, particularly those engaging in more transactions and higher credit exchange volumes. Our results emphasize the importance of combining credit and social mechanisms to enhance financial resilience. These findings underscore the role of MCSs as a safety net for small firms, providing crucial support precisely when these firms are most vulnerable in times of crisis. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNSYMMA8SR74XQHDNWS http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JJWWBGNSYMMA8SR74XQHDNWS http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo.2024.106861 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNSYMMA8SR74XQHDNWS/file/01JP2SZGXNHXMJ3E4PN54V2008 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNSYMMA8SR74XQHDNWS/file/01JP2SZGXNHXMJ3E4PN54V2008 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR & ORGANIZATION ISSN: 0167-2681 ISSN: 1879-1751 Business and Economics Small firms Credit Organizational resilience Mutual Credit Systems For better or for worse : how mutual credit systems bolster resilience of small firms journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Social network heterogeneity benefits individuals at the expense of groups in the creation of innovation (vol 3, 045002, 2022) https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNW4FHWNYRBXYZHD48Q Zarei, Fatemeh Ryckebusch, Jan Schoors, Koen Rocha, Luis E C 2024 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNW4FHWNYRBXYZHD48Q http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JJWWBGNW4FHWNYRBXYZHD48Q http://doi.org/10.1088/2632-072X/ad8331 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JJWWBGNW4FHWNYRBXYZHD48Q/file/01JT390B1ZPP5AC3F1A5RXNG5X eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-COMPLEXITY ISSN: 2632-072X Physics and Astronomy Business and Economics Social network heterogeneity benefits individuals at the expense of groups in the creation of innovation (vol 3, 045002, 2022) misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion L'apport archéologique et paléontologique de l'abri de la Sigillée : IV.

We show, in a parsimonious model, that this failure to recognize the riskiness of government debt induces domestic banks to "gamble"with depositors' funds by purchasing risky government bonds and assets correlated with them. Sovereign defaults then result in banking crises; however, by permitting banks to gamble, the regulator lowers the government's borrowing costs ex -ante. Thus, the government has an incentive to ignore the riskiness of the sovereign bonds. We derive a set of testable implications and present supporting empirical evidence from sovereign debt crises in Russia, Argentina, and the Eurozone. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J159D2VJFJH45BHJDP16RCWN http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01J159D2VJFJH45BHJDP16RCWN http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinteco.2024.103917 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J159D2VJFJH45BHJDP16RCWN/file/01JP2TBDEB367B0RASVX4HHY8Z https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J159D2VJFJH45BHJDP16RCWN/file/01JP2TBDEB367B0RASVX4HHY8Z eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS ISSN: 0022-1996 ISSN: 1873-0353 Business and Economics Banking Sovereign default Prudential regulation Financial crisis DEBT Banking regulation with risk of sovereign default journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Anisotropic crystallization of orthorhombic ScSi on Si(001) substrates https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2ZF5PZ6688Y1PJKZC36GFQ Pollefliet, Bert Porret, Clement Everaert, Jean-Luc Sankaran, Kiroubanand Richard, Olivier Han, Han Loo, Roger Detavernier, Christophe Vantomme, André Merckling, Clement 2026 Scandium-based silicides have attracted attention as new contact materials for ultimately scaled CMOS devices. Excellent contact properties in combination with P-doped Si have been demonstrated. However, unlike conventional Ti, Co, and Ni silicides, little is known about the formation mechanisms and properties of Sc silicides. This manuscript, therefore, reports on the formation and structural properties of orthorhombic ScSi silicide formed by solid state reaction between a sputter deposited 15 nm Sc film and a Si(001) substrate. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction (XRD) pole figures, in combination with cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, are leveraged to determine the texture of ScSi. An epitaxial texture with two different components is evidenced. Large (≳20 nm) grains, having a minimal defectivity originating from the lattice mismatch between the silicide and the substrate, are distinguished from small (≲5 nm) nanotwinned grains. The formation of these two sets of grains is investigated by in situ XRD. Due to a solid state amorphization reaction between Sc and Si, the formation of orthorhombic ScSi is preceded by the formation of an amorphous ScSi phase. Orthorhombic ScSi formation is initiated at ∼320 °C by the crystallization of small nuclei at the interface with Si, as evidenced for the first time by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. These nuclei share a singular epitaxial orientation, corresponding to the one of the large grains in the final ScSi film. Further crystallization occurs anisotropically in the lateral direction. Along the c axis, the initial epitaxial orientation is maintained. However, along the a axis, twin defects are generated, resulting in the small grain size. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2ZF5PZ6688Y1PJKZC36GFQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2ZF5PZ6688Y1PJKZC36GFQ http://doi.org/10.1063/5.0326525 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2ZF5PZ6688Y1PJKZC36GFQ/file/01KP300J0CWHWG9BRES7YZRBRH eng AIP Publishing info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess APL Materials ISSN: 2166-532X Physics and Astronomy Anisotropic crystallization of orthorhombic ScSi on Si(001) substrates journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Crisis experience and the deep roots of COVID-19 vaccination preferences https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ6DR1R79VZXXVG481169D8 Borisova, Ekaterina Gruendler, Klaus Hackenberger, Armin Harter, Anina Potrafke, Niklas Schoors, Koen 2023 We examine the deep roots of preferences for vaccination against COVID-19, moving beyond proximate factors which can only account for part of the observable heterogeneity in the willingness to get vaccinated. Our model on experience-based learning predicts that exposure to past disruptive crises increases individuals' willingness to acquire and take a promising remedy when new crises occur. Using micro-level data on vaccination preferences for individuals from 19 countries, we find strong evidence for our prediction. We investigate the role of competing vaccines exploiting original geocoded survey data from Russia. Consistent with our theory, past crisis experience decreases vaccination willingness when individuals have learned to distrust the effectiveness of government-administered remedies. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ6DR1R79VZXXVG481169D8 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HNZ6DR1R79VZXXVG481169D8 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.euroecorev.2023.104607 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ6DR1R79VZXXVG481169D8/file/01HNZ6G2R913H2XCA2B3YSY4CQ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ6DR1R79VZXXVG481169D8/file/01HNZ6G2R913H2XCA2B3YSY4CQ eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess EUROPEAN ECONOMIC REVIEW ISSN: 0014-2921 ISSN: 1873-572X Business and Economics COVID-19 Vaccination preferences Crisis experience Experience effects Trust in government Survey data Geocoded data NATURAL DISASTERS FLOOD INSURANCE HESITANCY RISK ATTITUDES TRUST DETERMINANTS WILLINGNESS GOVERNMENT NARRATIVES Crisis experience and the deep roots of COVID-19 vaccination preferences journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 'Pet revolution' : another human-centric revolution? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDFN1AHV2B2SB9XMBGRMM3B Bockstal, Marlies 2025 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDFN1AHV2B2SB9XMBGRMM3B http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMDFN1AHV2B2SB9XMBGRMM3B http://doi.org/10.1163/15685306-bja10267 eng SOCIETY & ANIMALS ISSN: 1063-1119 ISSN: 1568-5306 Social Sciences 'Pet revolution' : another human-centric revolution? misc info:eu-repo/semantics/review info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Staying on top : political cycles in private bank lending https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ5WXJ2CZ8EBNMA28D6N31E Fungacova, Zuzana Schoors, Koen Solanko, Laura Weill, Laurent 2023 The incentives for state-owned banks to boost lending before elections in order to improve the reelection odds of incumbent politicians are well recognized. We hypothesize that political influence on lending behavior in electoral autocracies extends to all banks, irrespective of ownership or political connections. Employing monthly data on individual banks, we consider the lending behavior of Russian banks in the four presidential elections held between 2004 and 2019. We find that both state-owned and private banks increased their lending before these presidential elections. Controlling for economic fluctuations, the pre-election lending surge is followed by a deterioration of loan quality the following year. We show that private banks are rewarded for boosting their lending before an election with government deposits after the election. Our findings support the view that the authorities in electoral autocracies such as Russia have the capacity and means to influence lending of private and state-owned banks in pursuit of favorable election outcomes. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ5WXJ2CZ8EBNMA28D6N31E http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HNZ5WXJ2CZ8EBNMA28D6N31E http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jce.2023.03.003 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ5WXJ2CZ8EBNMA28D6N31E/file/01HNZ5YDAPZMBN5MDKHK7XB1FT https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HNZ5WXJ2CZ8EBNMA28D6N31E/file/01HNZ5YDAPZMBN5MDKHK7XB1FT eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE ECONOMICS ISSN: 0147-5967 ISSN: 1095-7227 Business and Economics GOVERNMENT-OWNED BANKS STATE BANKS CONNECTIONS OWNERSHIP ELECTIONS Bank Lending Politics Russia Electoral autocracy Staying on top : political cycles in private bank lending journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ultra-low-power backscattering communication for energy-harvesting IoT applications https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KADM5365S17E9SD22G4GV9WH Sennesael, Joryan Rogier, Hendrik Van Torre, Patrick 2025 To enable smart, batteryless devices relying on weak energy harvesting sources, ultra-low-power operation and communication are crucial.

Using experimental economics, we provide evidence that cooperative membership can corrode existing intrinsic motivations to cooperate spontaneously by replacing it with incentivized, extrinsic motivations for formalized cooperation. Using a two-way censored tobit, we estimate a model explaining farmers’ contributions to a standard Public Goods Game as a measure of spontaneous cooperation. Contributions to a standard Dictator and Lottery Task Game were used as controls, and found to be strongly and positively correlated to the dependent variable. Cooperative membership, on the other hand, was found to be significantly negatively correlated to spontaneous cooperation. Men were found to contribute more to the Public Goods Game, as were farmers who are less food secure. We conclude crowding out takes place as incentives for formalized cooperation and serves as a substitute for spontaneous cooperation in regions with little formal institutions. If cooperation is indeed an important factor for development, this crowding out effect must be considered. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GW26ADZ0YEWCG80F994XQ06K http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01GW26ADZ0YEWCG80F994XQ06K http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcom.2023.100201 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GW26ADZ0YEWCG80F994XQ06K/file/01GW278AZH0E83XNCT80RZJ1ST eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT ISSN: 2213-297X ISSN: 2213-2988 Agriculture and Food Sciences Social Sciences Business and Economics Strategy and Management Business and International Management Cooperatives Cooperation Experimental Economics Crowding Out Burundi PUBLIC-GOODS GAME INCENTIVES MOTIVATION CONFLICT BEHAVIOR Formalized and spontaneous cooperation as substitutes : crowding out in the cooperative coffee sector of Ngozi, Burundi journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion CSD-AFNet : computationally efficient atrial fibrillation classification from ECGs using 2D causal strided dilated convolutions https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC4EKKVZPSV9TGRVPV59F1NW Bontinck, Lennert Steyaert, Aranka Chen, Hongbing Dhaene, Tom Deschrijver, Dirk 2025 Automated analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using deep learning (DL) methods has shown substantial promise in atrial fibrillation (AFib) classification, particularly for detecting subtle indicators during normal sinus rhythm and for predicting new-onset AFib. However, many existing state-of-the-art models exhibit high computational demands, characterised by large parameter and floating-point operations (FLOPs) counts. This presents a high barrier to entry for training in budget-limited institutes and hinders the models’ deployment on medical edge devices. This paper introduces CSD-AFNet, a computationally efficient DL model specifically designed for AFib-related ECG classification tasks. CSD-AFNet achieves substantial reductions in both parameter and FLOPs counts by replacing expensive temporal convolutions with novel Feature-Preserving Pooled Convolutions (FPP-Convs). FPP-Convs enable the combination of striding and dilation without input feature loss, preserving temporal coverage while reducing the computational cost. The model further incorporates two-dimensional causal padding to prevent temporal leakage in downstream representations. Evaluation on the public CODE-15% and PTB-XL datasets demonstrates that CSD-AFNet matches the classification performance of leading benchmark models while reducing parameter count by a factor of 71 and FLOPs by a factor of 122 compared to the ResNet-10 inspired baseline. These findings support the suitability of CSD-AFNet for practical clinical scenarios, enabling training under resource constraints and efficient inference on medical edge devices, thereby facilitating scalable and cost-effective ECG-based AFib screening and monitoring. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC4EKKVZPSV9TGRVPV59F1NW http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KC4EKKVZPSV9TGRVPV59F1NW http://doi.org/10.1109/bhi67747.2025.11269513 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC4EKKVZPSV9TGRVPV59F1NW/file/01KC4EPVWWQT0RS90XK041MK58 eng IEEE info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 2025 IEEE EMBS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH INFORMATICS, BHI ISSN: 2641-3590 ISSN: 2641-3604 ISBN: 9798331592080 ISBN: 9798331592073 Technology and Engineering Electrocardiography Atrial Fibrillation Deep Learning Computational Efficiency Compact Model Causal Convolution Strided Dilated Convolution Arrhythmia Detection CSD-AFNet : computationally efficient atrial fibrillation classification from ECGs using 2D causal strided dilated convolutions conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Supply and demand effects of bank bailouts : depositors need not apply and need not run https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQCV37V467AB0PZEWBZ8N7PM Berger, Allen N. N. Lamers, Martien Roman, Raluca A. A. Schoors, Koen 2023 We address two key issues concerning bank bailout effects on depositor and bank behavior. The first is whether bailouts weaken or strengthen market discipline by depositors through deposit supplies. The second is if bailed-out banks decrease or increase their deposit demands. These questions can only be adequately addressed by analyzing the effects of bailouts on both deposit quantities and prices. We do so for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailouts. Overall, we find that demand changes empirically dominate supply changes, and suggest significantly reduced deposit demand from bailouts. In some cases, however, supply changes dominate and indicate weakened market discipline. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQCV37V467AB0PZEWBZ8N7PM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01GQCV37V467AB0PZEWBZ8N7PM http://doi.org/10.1111/jmcb.13001 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQCV37V467AB0PZEWBZ8N7PM/file/01HB6A1PVR6ZTTNG1PE4N8CJKG eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF MONEY CREDIT AND BANKING ISSN: 0022-2879 ISSN: 1538-4616 Business and Economics bailouts bank runs bank deposit funding depositor behavior financial crises global financial crisis market discipline MARKET DISCIPLINE SUBORDINATED DEBT ADVERSE SELECTION RISK TARP INFORMATION STRATEGIES INSURANCE INDUSTRY YIELDS Supply and demand effects of bank bailouts : depositors need not apply and need not run journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion EFL teachers' and students' attitudes and practices regarding oral communication in English classes : Ethiopian high school context https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEH7CZADFJ24HE98NNF00J1T Sada, Eyasu Yaya Bulbula, Dereje Asfaw Bulti, Tesfa Alemu 2023 This study looked at the attitudes of Ethiopian English teachers and Bonga Mehal Ketema High School grade 10 students about spoken communication in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to determine why oral communication is such an important part of English teaching, what role teachers and students play in making orally active students in the English classroom.  Four English teachers were purposively interviewed, and 95 pupils in the tenth grade completed a questionnaire. The findings show that the majority of teachers and students believe that oral communication is an important aspect of the English education process. It is primarily due to the fact that being able to express yourself vocally in English in today's world is extremely important. The findings also reveal that teachers believe assessing students' oral competence is difficult since it is not as concrete as other abilities assessed in the English foreign language course. The challenge of convincing timid or unmotivated students to engage orally, as well as a lack of time, make assessing students a challenging undertaking. Thus, EFL teachers should establish a welcoming environment in the classroom to help students enhance their speaking skills. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEH7CZADFJ24HE98NNF00J1T http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEH7CZADFJ24HE98NNF00J1T http://doi.org/10.26858/ijole.v7i2.23062 eng INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION ISSN: 2548-8457 ISSN: 2548-8465 Social Sciences EFL teachers' and students' attitudes and practices regarding oral communication in English classes : Ethiopian high school context journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The socio-economic impact of certification schemes in conflict-affected regions : the case of arabica coffee in the Eastern DRC https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQHP7NYT7KYKXBGB5GG1N2PX Slosse, Wannes Buysse, Jeroen Schoors, Koen Godfroid, Ivan Boyen, Michaela D'Haese, Marijke 2023 The paper investigates the benefits of certification of cooperatives in conflict-affected areas. We study whether and how certification may contribute to attenuate the impact of conflicts on the members of coffee cooperatives in the Eastern DRC. We use an inverse probability weighted difference-in-difference approach to study data collected between December 2017 and October 2019 from four NGO-supported cooperatives. Two of these cooperatives got organic certification in 2018, of which one got an additional Small Producers Symbol (SPP) certification in 2018. Certified cooperatives allow Arabica coffee producers to access markets and buffer against drops in market prices. Results indicate that certified cooperatives were better able to resist the international price drop than non-certified cooperatives and the alternative informal markets. The results also suggest that certified cooperative members increased their sales to the cooperative instead of turning to informal side-selling. We find a decrease in reported food deficits by the members of certified cooperatives and an increase in the importance of coffee in their household's income. We conclude that certification is an effective way forward for smallholder coffee producers and cooperatives in unstable regions. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQHP7NYT7KYKXBGB5GG1N2PX http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01GQHP7NYT7KYKXBGB5GG1N2PX http://doi.org/10.1111/apce.12399 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01GQHP7NYT7KYKXBGB5GG1N2PX/file/01GQHPDAKZ378JJ5B96TA5TF8M eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ANNALS OF PUBLIC AND COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS ISSN: 1370-4788 ISSN: 1467-8292 Agriculture and Food Sciences Business and Economics Cooperatives coffee certification Eastern DRC COOPERATIVES PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE DYNAMICS The socio-economic impact of certification schemes in conflict-affected regions : the case of arabica coffee in the Eastern DRC journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Towards low-cost and resource-efficient IEEE 802.15.4Z-compliant ultra-wideband breathing rate estimation https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCH8NTWZ4S4S75ASTBC6RNAN Wilssens, Ruben Lambrecht, Anton Gordebeke, Gert-Jan Luchie, Stijn De Poorter, Eli Lemey, Sam Rogier, Hendrik 2025 This work explores a cost-effective, compact, and resource-efficient Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) radar solution for breathing rate (BR) estimation, leveraging IEEE 802.15.4z-compliant hardware. We discuss antenna requirements for compact radar systems, propose Cavity-Backed Slot (CBS) antennas in Air-Filled Substrate-Integrated-Waveguide (AFSIW) technology as ideal candidates, and propose a solution to further enhance signal integrity in arrays through mutual coupling reduction and system-level optimization in the time domain. Measurements for BR estimation using Qorvo's DWM3000 commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) transceivers and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based implementation are also demonstrated. Results from tests with 16 participants in three realistic scenarios show accurate performance, with the CNN achieving robust BR estimation even in complex setups. This study highlights the potential of radar-based BR estimation on existing, cost-effective IR-UWB systems, paving the way for Integrated Sensing and Communication. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCH8NTWZ4S4S75ASTBC6RNAN http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KCH8NTWZ4S4S75ASTBC6RNAN http://doi.org/10.1109/ap-s/cnc-usnc-ursi55537.2025.11266505 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KCH8NTWZ4S4S75ASTBC6RNAN/file/01KCH8QDZNRWFFN3QJ8ZF645KZ eng IEEE info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 2025 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION AND NORTH AMERICAN RADIO SCIENCE MEETING, AP-S/CNC-USNC-URSI ISSN: 1522-3965 ISSN: 1947-1491 ISBN: 9798331523688 ISBN: 9798331523671 Technology and Engineering ARRAY Towards low-cost and resource-efficient IEEE 802.15.4Z-compliant ultra-wideband breathing rate estimation conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion When tracking fails : analyzing failure modes of SAM2 for point-based tracking in surgical videos https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KB5FMGKGJ47DHAQPV16V50MM Jang, Woowon Im, Jiwon Choi, Juseung Rashidian, Niki De Neve, Wesley Özbulak, Utku 2025 Video object segmentation (VOS) models such as SAM2 offer promising zero-shot tracking capabilities for surgical videos using minimal user input. Among the available input types, point-based tracking offers an efficient and low-cost alternative, yet its reliability and failure cases in complex surgical environments are not well understood. In this work, we systematically analyze the failure modes of point-based tracking in laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos. Focusing on three surgical targets, the gallbladder, grasper, and L-hook electrocautery, we compare the performance of point-based tracking with segmentation mask initialization. Our results show that point-based tracking is competitive for surgical tools but consistently underperforms for anatomical targets, where tissue similarity and ambiguous boundaries lead to failure. Through qualitative analysis, we reveal key factors influencing tracking outcomes and provide several actionable recommendations for selecting and placing tracking points to improve performance in surgical video analysis. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KB5FMGKGJ47DHAQPV16V50MM http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KB5FMGKGJ47DHAQPV16V50MM http://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2510.02100 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KB5FMGKGJ47DHAQPV16V50MM/file/01KBFFERDC7967Q5X63MZ2T42E https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KB5FMGKGJ47DHAQPV16V50MM/file/01KBFFERDC7967Q5X63MZ2T42E eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess ARXIV Medicine and Health Sciences When tracking fails : analyzing failure modes of SAM2 for point-based tracking in surgical videos misc info:eu-repo/semantics/other info:eu-repo/semantics/draft Study of accuracy of approximate boundary conditions for scattering by dielectric objects https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC707V64CQJBK6EZ7CT6ERCQ Jay, Prakash Cools, Kristof 2025 Approximate boundary condition is an efficient way to reduce computationally expensive electromagnetic scattering problems involving dielectric objects. A commonly used approximation known as the Leontovich Impedance Boundary Condition, however, can not be conformingly discretized and requires a preconditioner that does not resemble a PEC-EFIE preconditioner. In this work, the Leontovich boundary condition and an alternate boundary condition previously introduced by Dely et al. to overcome the limitation in the Leontovich condition are numerically studied to assess their accuracy with respect to the exact problem. Their equivalence up to the lowest order in the spectral coordinates is established. The errors in the energy norm for the sequence of approximate solutions for the two different approximate boundary conditions with respect to the solution of the exact problem through numerical experiments are reported. The behavior of the field along sharp corners for both approximations is compared. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC707V64CQJBK6EZ7CT6ERCQ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KC707V64CQJBK6EZ7CT6ERCQ http://doi.org/10.1109/ap-s/cnc-usnc-ursi55537.2025.11266411 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KC707V64CQJBK6EZ7CT6ERCQ/file/01KC70BF2C54P5BGENN02E0HK6 eng IEEE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101001847 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 2025 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION AND NORTH AMERICAN RADIO SCIENCE MEETING, AP-S/CNC-USNC-URSI ISSN: 1522-3965 ISSN: 1947-1491 ISBN: 9798331523688 ISBN: 9798331523671 Technology and Engineering OPERATOR Study of accuracy of approximate boundary conditions for scattering by dielectric objects conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion “Learn Italian with me”: A multimodally enhanced genre analysis of Italian language teaching reels on Instagram https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YJP154JY0GMD6VD16QW9J Brulez, Ember Cenni, Irene 2026 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YJP154JY0GMD6VD16QW9J http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2YJP154JY0GMD6VD16QW9J http://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcm.2026.101014 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YJP154JY0GMD6VD16QW9J/file/01KP2YTKBQ38H1BRHZDST7YRQ4 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YJP154JY0GMD6VD16QW9J/file/01KP2YTKBQ38H1BRHZDST7YRQ4 eng ita info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Discourse, Context & Media Languages and Literatures digital discourse analysis multimodality pragmatics “Learn Italian with me”: A multimodally enhanced genre analysis of Italian language teaching reels on Instagram journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Campylobacter in fresh retail meat: species diversity assessment using a modified filter method compared with ISO 10272:2017 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YXEZ9RSJW33F4QB9C5CQJ Heyvaert, Lore Zafar, Muhammad Zeeshan Joossens, Marie Houf, Kurt 2026 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YXEZ9RSJW33F4QB9C5CQJ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2YXEZ9RSJW33F4QB9C5CQJ http://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2026.111784 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YXEZ9RSJW33F4QB9C5CQJ/file/01KP2YY9NNNMM5PW4VHGQT7SJZ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2YXEZ9RSJW33F4QB9C5CQJ/file/01KP2YY9NNNMM5PW4VHGQT7SJZ eng Elsevier BV info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess International Journal of Food Microbiology ISSN: 0168-1605 Campylobacter in fresh retail meat: species diversity assessment using a modified filter method compared with ISO 10272:2017 journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Overcoming mutual estrangement?

In response to the growing need for unified scientific dialogue on soft tissue ectopic calcification, the Joint Ectopic Calcification Meeting (JECM) brought together the communities of INTEC, ISSEC, BBC, iSCCa, and the PXE Budapest meeting. This initiative emerged from concerns over fragmentation in the field, with multiple smaller meetings diluting collaborative potential. By consolidating efforts, JECM aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange, highlight cutting-edge research, and build a flagship event for the ectopic calcification community. With over 100 participants, the inaugural meeting in Nancy marks a promising step toward a more integrated and dynamic future for the field.

Verheyen, Kris Veen, G. F. 2026 Food forests are an emerging agroecosystem in the temperate zone, aimed at providing food while supporting high levels of biodiversity. How food forestry impacts belowground biodiversity is, however, largely unknown. We compared communities of 12 taxonomic groups of soil organisms between 15 food forests and nearby grasslands, croplands and forests in Northwest Europe. Food forest soil communities appeared to differ from communities in grass- and croplands and more closely resembled forest communities in terms of total biomass or number of individuals of most taxonomic groups, with especially higher numbers of most macroarthropods. In terms of composition, food forest communities of most groups were overall intermediate between those in grass- and croplands and those in forests. For microorganismal and microfaunal groups, food forest communities bore a greater resemblance to grass- and cropland communities than to forest communities. Besides a higher alpha-diversity for non-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and certain macroarthropod groups in food forests, differences in alpha- and beta-diversity were overall limited. As food forests appear to support different soil communities than grass- and croplands, planting food forests could increase soil biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2XWVNAR5X6P0ANZC21WMBG http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2XWVNAR5X6P0ANZC21WMBG http://doi.org/10.1038/s44185-026-00125-w https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2XWVNAR5X6P0ANZC21WMBG/file/01KP2Y95RR77TJYDDAPYE4V5N6 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess NPJ BIODIVERSITY ISSN: 2731-4243 Biology and Life Sciences Agriculture and Food Sciences Earth and Environmental Sciences soil biodiversity food forest forest garden complex agroforestry soil community land use comparison DIVERSITY COMMUNITIES QUALITY FUNGAL BACTERIAL ASSEMBLAGES MECHANISMS SUCCESSION Planting food forests can increase soil biodiversity in agricultural landscapes of Northwest Europe journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion What about the family? A content analysis of international legislative frameworks and guidelines on assisted dying https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH6CR16R9J00YHWEP77MWMQA Boven, Charlotte Shapiro, Gilla K Van Humbeeck, Liesbeth Dillen, Let Van Den Noortgate, Nele Rodin, Gary 2026 When a person chooses assisted dying, the impact on their family can be profound. Legislation and professional guidelines not only regulate and standardize practice, but also support the delivery of high-quality care. Within this framework, bereavement care plays a vital role by helping families prepare for the death and potentially reducing the risk of prolonged grief. This study explored how current legislation and clinical guidelines on assisted dying address the role and needs of family members, particularly regarding bereavement care. It examined the frequency of the term "family" and its synonyms, as well as the extent to which bereavement support services for relatives are described. A content analysis was conducted on legislative and guideline documents from countries where physician-administered assisted dying is legal. Documents were collected between August 2022 and June 2023, and both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to assess references to families and descriptions of bereavement care. In total, 22 legislative frameworks and 38 clinical guidelines from nine countries were analyzed. References to family appeared far more often in guidelines (<i>N</i> = 1,213) than in legislation (<i>N</i> = 147). The frequency of these terms varied significantly, with guidelines ranging from two to 83 mentions, and legislation from zero to 18. Eight key themes related to bereavement care emerged, though specific guidance was often lacking. To improve quality care, there is a clear need to better integrate family support into assisted dying guidelines by establishing best practices for bereavement care. Future research should focus on family members' perspectives and needs. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH6CR16R9J00YHWEP77MWMQA http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KH6CR16R9J00YHWEP77MWMQA http://doi.org/10.1177/15271544251408789 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KH6CR16R9J00YHWEP77MWMQA/file/01KH6GEGHPMPJNWZQJ1T709PCV eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess POLICY POLITICS & NURSING PRACTICE ISSN: 1527-1544 ISSN: 1552-7468 Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences EoLC assisted dying grief document analysis family review EXPERIENCES EUTHANASIA SWITZERLAND CAREGIVERS SUICIDE DEATH CARE What about the family?

Mobile andwearable technologies enable continuous, unobtrusive monitoring of behavioral, psychological,and physiological data, offering new possibilities for digital phenotyping and just-in-time (JIT)prediction of depression. This scoping review synthesized findings from 52 studies to identifycommonly used features, evaluate their predictive value, and assess methodologicalapproaches. Frequently assessed features included location data, sleep metrics, physicalactivity, communication patterns, heart rate variability, and mood self-reports. Features such astime spent at home, sleep variability, and reduced mobility were strongly associated withdepressive symptoms. Combining physiological, behavioral, and self-report data enhancedpredictive performance. Personalized models and anomaly detection approaches outperformedgeneralized ones in predicting individual symptom changes. Overall, mobile and wearable datashow strong potential for JIT depression prediction.

Methods The cohort comprised 4422 patients identified from insurance claims data, who were newly prescribed a single hypnotic with more than three consecutive prescriptions over 3 months. The outcome was defined as the absence of a hypnotic prescription for 90 consecutive days after the final prescription. Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to compare the hazards of discontinuing hypnotics among four classes: benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepines, dual orexin receptor antagonists, and melatonin receptor agonists, adjusting for age, sex, and the number of diagnostic categories based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision. Results Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed significant differences among the hypnotic classes (P < 0.001), with dual orexin receptor antagonists demonstrating the highest rate of discontinuation. Multivariable Cox regression indicated a significantly higher likelihood of discontinuing dual orexin receptor antagonists than that of benzodiazepines (hazard ratio = 1.40; P < 0.001). Older age (hazard ratio = 0.995; P < 0.001) and a higher number of International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision diagnostic categories (hazard ratio = 0.975; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with a lower likelihood of discontinuation. Conclusion Dual orexin receptor antagonists are more likely to be discontinued than benzodiazepines after continuous hypnotic prescription, highlighting their potential clinical utility in insomnia treatment. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KEVS56SZZEE271DKFS2HM8YP http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KEVS56SZZEE271DKFS2HM8YP http://doi.org/10.1111/pcn.70004 und Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences benzodiazepines dual orexin receptor antagonist hypnotics insomnia melatonin receptor agonists Higher discontinuation with dual orexin receptor antagonists than with benzodiazepines: A Japanese claims cohort study journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Baseline-free nonlinear probabilistic damage imaging in composites using a sparse sensor network https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDBHDD6VCVJJ51BDBZR09N9 Ma, Yusheng Hedayatrasa, Saeid Van Den Abeele, Koen Kersemans, Mathias 2025 Composite materials are increasingly used in aerospace, wind energy and other industrial sectors due to their high stiffness and specific corrosion resistance. However, damages and defects that may arise during manufacturing or operational lifetime compromise their structural integrity. Guided wave testing, employing a sparse network of transducers, has proven effective for efficiently inspecting large-scale structures. One well known guided wave imaging technique, the Reconstruction Algorithm for Probabilistic Inspection of Defects RAPID, reconstructs a damage map to localize defects using a probabilistic modality. Yet, the baseline-dependent nature of RAPID limits its practical applicability due to uncertainties in environmental and operational conditions, such as fluctuations in temperature and moisture. In this study, a broadband nonlinear version of RAPID (BB-NL-RAPID) is introduced, enabling damage localization in a baseline-free manner by exploiting the lack of amplitude scalability induced by nonclassical nonlinearity at defects. In this approach, two sets of broadband signals with different amplitude are injected into a sparse sensor network in order to activate a multitude of nonlinear wave/defect interactions. The resulting broadband residual signal is extracted and converted into a set of tone burst responses within the fundamental frequency range through data conditioning procedures, including time-frequency filtering and signal decomposition. From these tone burst responses, a set of NL-RAPID damage maps are constructed. Finally, a merging strategy is employed to fuse all the NL-RAPID damage maps into a unique BB-NL-RAPID damage map. The proposed baseline-free BB-NL-RAPID is validated on a numerical dataset generated by finite element modeling, as well as on damaged (industrial) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. Without a baseline data collected from healthy specimens, the approach demonstrates high performance in localizing damages in composite components of industrial complexity. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDBHDD6VCVJJ51BDBZR09N9 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMDBHDD6VCVJJ51BDBZR09N9 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDBHDD6VCVJJ51BDBZR09N9/file/01KMDBJRAZCMMD7VQQ7E23VRE9 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess International Congress on Ultrasonics 2025, Book of Abstracts Technology and Engineering CFRP Guided Waves Sparse Sensor Network RAPID Nonlinear wave/defect interactions Baseline-free Damage Imaging Baseline-free nonlinear probabilistic damage imaging in composites using a sparse sensor network conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Tomographic-holographic imaging of the 3D nonlinear air-coupled emission field of defects in plates https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDBB0HVV7H3ZYQ35HKNNRMB Ma, Yusheng Debusschere, Cédric Van Den Abeele, Koen Kersemans, Mathias 2025 Defects in plates significantly affect the local propagation characteristics of ultrasonic guided waves. Specifically, crack-like defects can introduce various non-classical nonlinear wave responses due to clapping, friction and hysteretic effects. These phenomena not only introduce nonlinear elastic wave components into the plate, but also lead to the emission of nonlinear acoustic waves into the surrounding air. Hence, airborne nonlinear emission analysis offers potential to detect and localize defects in the plate. In this study, SLDV measurements have been performed using the acoustooptic principle, i.e. the SLDV probes the air column above the plate, rather than the plate surface itself. In our approach, the SLDV scans a single line at some distance above the plate, capturing a line projection (1D) of the nonlinear emission field. The plate is mounted on a rotation stage, and multiple line projections were recorded for various rotation angles. Following the concept of computed tomography, this set of line projections is used to reconstruct a planar cross-section (2D) of the nonlinear emission field. By coupling this planar cross-section with a holographic reconstruction technique, a full volumetric representation (3D) of the nonlinear emission field is obtained. Our results show that the developed tomographic-holographic methodology is able to convert 1D measurement data to a full 3D volumetric representation, even for nonlinear emission signals with a very low signal-to-noise ratio. With this 3D volumetric representation, the presence and location of defects within the plate can be easily visualized.

Those measurements can be then used to estimate different parameters of the investigated structure such as the mechanical properties, by the ways of its visco-elastic tensor. In the present study, we concentrate on inverting the geometrical characteristics of the surface of corrugated interfaces. In contrast to flat surfaces, the presence of a corrugation leads to multiple reflection modes besides the specular reflection, which significantly complicates the problem. Based on an analytical model to predict the reflection and transmission of homogenous plane waves on a 2D periodically corrugated surface, and in combination with numerical calculations, we were able to inversely estimate the corrugation parameters (the periodicity and height) from the reflected landscape. The period can be obtained relatively straightforwardly utilizing the well-known Snell’s law for periodic gratings. In practice, a combination of azimuthal and polar angles for only one of the reflected modes is enough to determine it accurately. The corrugation height can be estimated from the amplitude of the first order scattered modes that are reflected from the corrugated surface. The observed linear dependence on corrugation height was proven symbolically as the result of a simplified version of the analytical model. In view of an experimental verification, a novel phased array (PA) based UPS system is being designed, that will be capable of capturing the entire reflected landscape in a faster and more efficient manner than currently possible with the traditional UPS system. New non-destructive methods such as the PA based UPS that provide mechanical as well as geometrical properties of materials and interfaces are of great importance in materials such as high-performance composites (e.g. glare, cfrp, gfrp), which are frequently used in industries like aerospace, automotive or off-shore wind energy. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDB500AQT73H90YNWXHRJ18 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMDB500AQT73H90YNWXHRJ18 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDB500AQT73H90YNWXHRJ18/file/01KMDB643R09K58W3T7ZSPR491 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess International Congress on Ultrasonics 2025, Book of Abstracts Technology and Engineering Inversion of the corrugation parameters of a double corrugated liquid/solid interface from the diffraction of homogenous plane waves with the Ultrasonic Polar Scan conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion A qualitative model for integrative trauma-informed care for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in marginalized South African communities https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KDDH68Y023B7VYHF768WSXYD Morgan, Leona Nadar, Sarojini Keygnaert, Ines 2026 Background Socioeconomic inequality, enforced through racial segregation during apartheid, continues to shape present-day disparities in South Africa. It limits equitable access to essential services and exacerbates health inequities, in particular, access to specialized traumafocused mental health services in marginalized communities. Objectives This study explores the intersections of systemic inequality and sexual violence by developing a qualitative framework for integrative trauma-informed care (ITIC) intended for resource-constrained settings. The study focuses on adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) from the Cape Flats region of Cape Town. Methods Framed within a critical, feminist community psychology perspective, ITIC sessions were facilitated for 13 adult survivors of CSA, with variation in the number of sessions and the duration of the intervention. Clinical histories were assessed. Applying ITIC, participantspecific narratives, and trauma recovery pathways were analyzed. Results The findings highlight the complex physical and mental health needs of participants, given the long interval that had elapsed since their experiences of CSA. These findings informed the development of a multi-component care framework that addresses prolonged trauma suppression among adult survivors of CSA from marginalized communities, such as the Cape Flats. Despite the long time elapsed between CSA and the initiation of ITIC, this form of therapy supported more equitable trauma recovery. Conclusion The study develops a qualitative research-informed care framework that integrates various factors associated with sexual trauma. Addressing the complexities in marginalized South African contexts, it highlights the importance of recognizing individual differences in trauma responses, comorbidities related to systemic violence, and pre- and post-trauma experiences, allowing for tailored interventions that may potentially enhance therapeutic outcomes. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KDDH68Y023B7VYHF768WSXYD http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KDDH68Y023B7VYHF768WSXYD http://doi.org/10.14440/hpr.0210 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KDDH68Y023B7VYHF768WSXYD/file/01KE91QVMXZ9XQ2B74BT2KKW3B eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH ISSN: 2420-8124 Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Childhood sexual abuse Trauma-informed care Qualitative research South Africa Health services accessibility PSYCHOLOGY CRISIS A qualitative model for integrative trauma-informed care for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in marginalized South African communities journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Neolithic faunal remains in the Gilf Kebir and the Abu Hussein dunefield, Western Desert, Egypt https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMJJZ5HS561KCV5JQ8DBKKDB El-Baz, Farouk Maxwell, Ted A.

Using a qualitative approach centered on perspectives of 19 experts with experience in projects building federated networks, it investigates the perceived challenges in fulfilling specific obligations under the GDPR, as well as in establishing the contractual framework of a federated network, including the arrangements and mechanisms required to control data access and to define the conditions for lawful and effective data sharing and reuse. The study critically assesses the commonly cited assurance that “data never leaves the node” and evaluates the compatibility of federated approaches with data protection requirements. It highlights key tensions between legal theory and practical implementation, offering insights relevant to the design and governance of other federated architectures and emerging European data spaces. Study results indicate that while the advantages of a federated approach, such as data minimization, should not be discarded, there are also significant challenges of aligning federated networks architectures with data protection requirements in particular. Federated networks help initiate discussions about data sharing with new data holders, but they do not offer a straightforward solution to legal and technical challenges of data sharing. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMBF28BD6641HD89K7CB6RRZ http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMBF28BD6641HD89K7CB6RRZ http://doi.org/10.3389/fdgth.2026.1719728 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMBF28BD6641HD89K7CB6RRZ/file/01KMJTEQ2YRYFZ15HAHZ67RWAE eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess FRONTIERS IN DIGITAL HEALTH ISSN: 2673-253X Medicine and Health Sciences Social Sciences Law and Political Science data protection EHDS federated networks GDPR health data secondary use PRIVACY Anonymization, accountability, and access : legal dimensions of health data sharing in federated networks : perspectives from empirical study journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Legal Tech and Data Protection https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJXBNK8YEHJVV2JCQG9NC5ZN Rott, Peter 2024 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJXBNK8YEHJVV2JCQG9NC5ZN http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KJXBNK8YEHJVV2JCQG9NC5ZN http://doi.org/10.4324/9781003502791-14 eng Routledge Privacy, Data Protection and Data-driven Technologies ISBN: 9781003502791 Legal Tech and Data Protection bookChapter info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion PeakPrime : a peak-guided primer design pipeline for target enrichment in 3′-end RNA-seq https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMCYGR7S644VNEP8EB3YX31K Pancaldi, Vera Poma Soto, Franco Alexander Soulliaert, Brecht Van Droogenbroeck, Hanne Mestdagh, Pieter Vandesompele, Jo 2026 Motivation Targeted enrichment can offset the bias and depth requirements of random-primed second-strand synthesis in 3′-end RNA-seq by reallocating reads to transcripts of interest. We present PeakPrime, a reproducible Nextflow pipeline that (i) identifies high-coverage 3′ RNA-seq regions via MACS2, (ii) selects exonic windows around significant peaks, (iii) designs strand-appropriate cDNA primers via Primer3, and (iv) screens specificity with Bowtie2, producing publication-ready plots and quality control (QC) summaries. Results We demonstrate coverage-informed primer design using a custom 3′ protocol that employs a barcoded oligo(dT)-VN primer, optimize parameters on IMR-32 neuroblastoma and Universal Human Reference RNA data, and validate primers by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and targeted 3′ RNA-seq. Targeted libraries preserve gene-level expression correlations with random-primed 3′ RNA-seq (Pearson r≈0.88 across conditions), while boosting the fraction of reads assigned to target genes from <1% to ∼25–42% and increasing detection of the lowest-abundance transcripts. While empirically tested in bulk RNA-seq, PeakPrime enables extensions to single-cell and spatial workflows where oligo(dT) capture is followed by in situ reverse transcription and second-strand synthesis.

This study identified all protein domains and domain combinations from 446 genomes across all major plant lineages. We discovered more domains and domain combinations in land plants than in algae. Many novel "core" protein domains were acquired in the early evolution of streptophytes, substantially enriching the genomic toolkit that enabled plants to shift from unicellular to multicellular organization and to adapt to terrestrial life. After conquering the land, the number of ancestral core domains kept decreasing in land plants; in contrast, an increasing number of non-core domains were acquired, which, together with enhanced activity of domain shuffling, generated various novel domain combinations and expanded protein diversity. We speculate that losing existing genetic elements (core domains) is not always detrimental, as it may have reduced evolutionary constraint upon species, paving the way for biological innovation (speciation) and adaptation to changing environments. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KDZ1YT3ACK0HW1SWTXEN0YKC http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KDZ1YT3ACK0HW1SWTXEN0YKC http://doi.org/10.1016/j.xgen.2025.101107 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KDZ1YT3ACK0HW1SWTXEN0YKC/file/01KP2WK5Q3RG7TEWSWTP5KG3G7 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess CELL GENOMICS ISSN: 2666-979X Biology and Life Sciences core and non-core domain combinations horizontal transfer plant terrestrialization protein domain reductive evolution Evolution of protein domains and protein domain combinations provides insights into the origin and diversification of land plants journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The trade turn : the EU’s arrival in a geoeconomic world https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K49YZK4MVN1E2S9AJSSJE7RA Orbie, Jan De Ville, Ferdi Jacobs, Thomas Couvreur, Sjorre 2025 In recent years, the European Union’s (EU) trade policy has undergone significant changes. While the EU long positioned itself as a principal defender of free trade, its unrelenting confidence in economic openness has eroded. Instead, it has increasingly used trade policy to address perceived competitiveness and security concerns arising from economic interdependence. This ‘geoeconomic turn’ in EU trade policy reflects broader shifts in the global economy, shaped by rising competition and rivalry among the major economies. Although this phenomenon has sparked considerable academic debate, many of its dimensions remain underexplored. Accordingly, this dissertation conducts a comprehensive analysis to answer the research question: How has the geoeconomic turn manifested itself in EU trade policy? Rather than solely assessing changes in the EU’s trade policy instruments, the dissertation examines the geoeconomic turn across four interrelated dimensions, looking at its discursive, institutional, historical, and critical aspects. This approach enables a more comprehensive understanding of how the geoeconomic turn has manifested itself in EU trade policy, while also capturing its complexity, marked by both continuity and change. Before examining these dimensions, the dissertation introduces a novel conceptual framework for understanding ‘geoeconomic trade policy’ as operating on a multi-layered spectrum. It moves beyond binary classifications such as ‘defensive’ versus ‘offensive’ or ‘security’ versus ‘competitiveness’-driven geoeconomic policy, arguing that the blurred boundaries between these analytical categories are a defining feature of geoeconomic (trade) policy. In doing so, the dissertation offers a more nuanced understanding of how geoeconomic trade policy functions and is perceived in practice. Empirically, the dissertation contributes to the literature by providing one of the first assessments of the EU’s Anti-Coercion Instrument, a new trade tool emblematic of the EU’s geoeconomic turn; by generating new insights into the institutional evolution of DG Trade; and by analysing the emergence of what we call ‘Strategic Trade Agreements’ (STAs) aimed at securing access to critical raw materials from resource-rich countries. The analysis draws on EU official documents, elite interviews, relevant media articles and secondary academic literature. Methodologically, the dissertation combines a set of qualitative approaches, including discourse analysis of othering strategies, directed content analysis, and comparative historical analysis. These methods reflect the dissertation’s focus on interpreting policy discourses, mapping institutional changes, and examining historical continuities and differences in EU trade policy over time. The dissertation observes four key findings. First, the EU has discursively justified its geoeconomic turn in trade policy as a departure from its past naivety, while also portraying itself as defensive and normatively ‘good’ in comparison to more offensive ‘bad’ geoeconomic trade actors. Second, significant institutional changes have occurred within the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Trade (DG Trade), reflecting the EU’s growing geoeconomic capacities and the internalisation of geoeconomic thinking within DG Trade. These changes are furthermore driven by top-down political dynamics originating from the Commission President and DG Trade’s hierarchy. Third, while the EU’s trade approach towards the major economies may comprise significant changes with the geoeconomic turn, its long-standing strategic trade practices towards the Global South show considerable continuity over time. Finally, the dissertation raises critical concerns about the externalities of the EU’s geoeconomic turn, including its potential to deepen social inequalities and political disempowerment within the European Union and beyond. In conclusion, the dissertation argues that the EU’s geoeconomic turn does not constitute a clean break with the past, but rather a layered transformation that reflects both continuity and change. New geoeconomic tools, institutional changes and discursive frames have been added to a trade policy framework that still retains neoliberal principles and a long-standing, though often overlooked, strategic dimension concerning EU trade relations with the Global South. However, as geoeconomic concerns gain ground, they are gradually reshaping the EU’s identity as a global trade actor. By unpacking the geoeconomic turn in EU trade policy across multiple dimensions, this dissertation not only deepens our understanding of how the geoeconomic turn manifested itself in EU trade policy but also invites reflection on the profound continuities and broader implications concealed beneath its most visible layers of change. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K49YZK4MVN1E2S9AJSSJE7RA http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K49YZK4MVN1E2S9AJSSJE7RA https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K49YZK4MVN1E2S9AJSSJE7RA/file/01K49Z6B0WJ8VCSHXX50VHGXKT eng Ghent University.

Deze evenementen ontstaan wanneer droogte en extreme hitte tegelijkertijd optreden, wat de negatieve effecten van beide vergroot. Volgens het IPCC is de wereldtemperatuur inmiddels met ongeveer 1,1 °C gestegen ten opzichte van het pre-industriële tijdperk, wat deze trend verder versterkt. Dit onderzoek ontwikkelt een wereldwijde dataset (1901–2021) voor het analyseren van CDHW’s. We gebruiken verschillende droogte-indicatoren, zoals de Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) en de zelfkalibrerende Palmer Droogte-Index (scPDSI), en combineren deze met gegevens van waarnemingen en klimaatsimulaties om de ruimtelijke en temporele veranderingen in CDHW’s te bestuderen. Daarnaast wordt een risicobeoordelingsmodel voorgesteld, gebaseerd op drie hoofdcomponenten: gevaar, blootstelling en kwetsbaarheid. Gevaar wordt gemeten door de intensiteit, frequentie en duur van CDHW’s; blootstelling betreft de populaties en verschillende landtypes zoals landbouwgrond, grasland en bossen; kwetsbaarheid wordt bepaald door factoren zoals ecologische gevoeligheid en de economische veerkracht van regio’s. De bevindingen laten zien dat CDHW’s wereldwijd steeds ernstiger worden, wat grote gevolgen heeft voor de biodiversiteit, voedselzekerheid en volksgezondheid. Dit maakt het noodzakelijk om risicobeoordelingen en adaptieve strategieën te ontwikkelen die gericht zijn op het verminderen van de impact van deze extreme gebeurtenissen. https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KN6264GWW6NKMY6N3VKCA1Z1 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KN6264GWW6NKMY6N3VKCA1Z1 eng Ghent University.

The molecular interaction between these cells requires further investigation. To investigate genes, including those encoding aquaporins (AQPs), expressed in maize GCs and SCs, RNA sequencing was performed on microdissected GCs and SCs from epidermis harvested during day and night. A CRISPR-based tissue-specific knockout (KO) system was then used to target ZmPIPs belonging to the plasma membrane intrinsic protein1 (PIP1) subfamily in maize GCs or SCs. A general transcriptomic analysis first revealed that genes preferentially expressed in SCs compared with GCs during the day were primarily involved in lipid transport, localization, and metabolism, while genes more highly expressed in GCs were associated with photosynthesis, chloroplasts, and plastids. Interestingly, the expression of several AQP genes varied both spatially and temporally. The KO of ZmPIP1s in GCs resulted in greater stomatal opening than wild-type plants, particularly under mild water-deficit conditions. Overall, these findings reveal transcriptomic specificities between maize GCs and SCs, providing valuable insights into the regulation of rapid stomatal movements in grasses and highlight the role of ZmPIP1s in these processes. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJ54PFE571KSARHB8EZ48GC9 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KJ54PFE571KSARHB8EZ48GC9 http://doi.org/10.1111/nph.71004 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJ54PFE571KSARHB8EZ48GC9/file/01KJ54T8FMQD1JJ96H4RX73MVQ https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJ54PFE571KSARHB8EZ48GC9/file/01KP2W0DZ9Z3G1CX6VT0TKTXCA https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KJ54PFE571KSARHB8EZ48GC9/file/01KJ54WJBQ695FFSVHRA84EQZ3 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess NEW PHYTOLOGIST ISSN: 0028-646X ISSN: 1469-8137 Biology and Life Sciences RNA‐seq aquaporins cell‐specific knockout guard cells maize phylogenetic analysis stomatal movement subsidiary cells RNA-seq PLASMA-MEMBRANE AQUAPORINS GUARD-CELL ABSCISIC-ACID PHOSPHOLIPASE-C EXPRESSION CHANNELS CO2 PHOTOSYNTHESIS CLOSURE PATHWAY Cell-specific transcriptomics and knockout reveal aquaporin function in grass stomatal movements journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion ESCMID‐EFISG Survey on Diagnostic and Therapeutic Capacity for Invasive Fungal Infections in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg: A Focus on High Azole Resistance https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K3X87RZWJYQTT6S56XJYM710 Aerts, Robina Cuypers, Lize Meijer, Eelco F.

Belmonte, A. 2025 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-01 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-08-01 As DRAM scaling advances toward dense 3D architectures with Si-based select transistors, floating body effects (FBE) emerge as a critical reliability concern due to transient leakage and associated data retention risks. This work presents the methodology for the first experimental extraction of floating-body-induced bipolar current (FBC) in nanosheet GAA 3D DRAM access transistors, leveraging transistor arrays to access low IOFF regimes inaccessible to single-device measurements. Two device populations, defined by high and low quasi-static (QS) leakage, are studied using a measurement protocol that isolates the transient parasitic BJT contribution. FBC amplitude is analyzed as a function of pre-charge time and leakage, revealing strong dependence on body charging dynamics. Extrapolation toward target IOFF specifications, supported by TCAD, shows that floating body effects are expected to be effectively suppressed. These findings provide key reliability guidance for Si-based 3D DRAM architectures. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGHWW1S108RH85GFJMDYRZHH http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KGHWW1S108RH85GFJMDYRZHH http://doi.org/10.1109/iedm50572.2025.11353614 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGHWW1S108RH85GFJMDYRZHH/file/01KGHX13974PA2ZHXMZYQT4GT1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGHWW1S108RH85GFJMDYRZHH/file/01KGHX25GC6FP25E07KQV5ZF7M https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGHWW1S108RH85GFJMDYRZHH/file/01KGHX13974PA2ZHXMZYQT4GT1 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess 2025 IEEE INTERNATIONAL ELECTRON DEVICES MEETING, IEDM ISSN: 0163-1918 ISSN: 2156-017X ISBN: 9798331567866 ISBN: 9798331567859 Physics and Astronomy First systematic characterization of floating body effects in GAA nanosheet 3D DRAM access transistors conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion DistriMuSe - Distributed Multi-Sensor Systems for Human Safety and Health https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2VNEDJ0JQRNZF5RQMJ6QV1 Casini, D Cazorla, FJ Plomp, Johan van Meulen, Fokke Lopez Escobar, Juan Jose De Poorter, Eli Hoebeke, Jeroen Vanstraelen, Geert Roelleke, Michael Presta, Roberta Santos de la Camara, Raul Davoli, Luca Hubalek, Jaromir 2025 This paper provides an overview of the domain challenges, use cases, objectives, high-level concepts, intended innovations, and expected impact of the DistriMuSe project.

Although current evidence supports the use of dry needling for reducing headache pain, needling approaches are inconsistent among published studies, and no guidelines on dry needling for headaches have been established. Methods: A study will be conducted using the Delphi method, consisting of three rounds of questionnaires sent to an expert panel of clinicians and researchers. Results: To guide the development of the initial survey, we completed a literature review of articles related to dry needling for headaches. A steering committee will assess the initial survey items synthesized from the literature search and provide recommendations for the first and subsequent rounds of the study. Percentage agreement will be the primary measure throughout all rounds of this study. We define consensus to have been reached when 75% agreement is achieved. Conclusions: We seek to develop clinical recommendations that will guide research and treatment practices regarding dry needling for headaches. Having consensus-driven recommendations on dry needling for headaches will assist researchers in the design of future studies on this condition. In addition, having guidelines that clinicians can reference prior to the delivery of dry needling for headaches would benefit patient care. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JWBH277FS4QD3ECY3V45ZF59 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JWBH277FS4QD3ECY3V45ZF59 http://doi.org/10.3390/jcm14051740 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JWBH277FS4QD3ECY3V45ZF59/file/01JWBHFW9ZA71NM2ZJ7ZTCXAE0 eng MDPI info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE ISSN: 2077-0383 TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS CERVICOGENIC HEADACHE HEALTH-SCIENCES PAIN SYNDROME MIGRAINE ACUPUNCTURE INJECTIONS MUSCLE STIMULATION dry needling Delphi headache consensus Expert Consensus on Dry Needling Practices for Headache: An International Delphi Study Protocol journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Optimal experimental design for the calibration of a high-temperature thermal strain model for concrete during cooling https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2TF7BM97TA0Y93JXWDH00T Put, Florian Sørensen, Matilde Bruun Abbiati, Giuseppe Lucherini, Andrea Merci, Bart Van Coile, Ruben 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2028-04-04 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2028-04-04 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2TF7BM97TA0Y93JXWDH00T http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2TF7BM97TA0Y93JXWDH00T http://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2026.145731 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2TF7BM97TA0Y93JXWDH00T/file/01KP2TNSG2DQ9J7EQWTNS4S23K https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2TF7BM97TA0Y93JXWDH00T/file/01KP2TNSG2DQ9J7EQWTNS4S23K eng Elsevier BV info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess Construction and Building Materials ISSN: 0950-0618 Optimal experimental design for the calibration of a high-temperature thermal strain model for concrete during cooling journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Updating of a deterministic model for the free thermal strain of concrete in fire during heating and cooling using novel experimental data and Bayesian inference https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2V1H3GPTNJBJDSD3V5PKWE Put, Florian Felicetti, Roberto Lucherini, Andrea Merci, Bart Van Coile, Ruben 2026 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2028-06-12 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2028-06-12 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2V1H3GPTNJBJDSD3V5PKWE http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2V1H3GPTNJBJDSD3V5PKWE http://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2026.104659 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2V1H3GPTNJBJDSD3V5PKWE/file/01KP2V33KPX2GFHNZN9C0B0DY2 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2V1H3GPTNJBJDSD3V5PKWE/file/01KP2V33KPX2GFHNZN9C0B0DY2 eng Elsevier BV info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess Fire Safety Journal ISSN: 0379-7112 Updating of a deterministic model for the free thermal strain of concrete in fire during heating and cooling using novel experimental data and Bayesian inference journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bringing modern IDE features to Semantic Web formats with the Semantic Web Language Server https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JY3ZV2S62C2CGMX5MDXCNTET Vercruysse, Arthur Rojas Melendez, Julian Andres Colpaert, Pieter 2025 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-14 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-14 Authoring Semantic Web documents such as ontologies or SPARQL queries is error-prone, often leading to interoperability issues, validation failures, or incorrect reasoning. To address these challenges, we present the Semantic Web Language Server (SWLS), a tool for Semantic Web practitioners that integrates IDE-like functionalities such as real-time syntax validation, intelligent autocompletion, and SHACL-based diagnostics into modern code editors. SWLS follows the Language Server Protocol, allowing seamless integration with popular code editors such as Visual Studio Code and NeoVim, while currently supporting multiple Semantic Web formats including Turtle, JSON-LD and SPARQL. This demo accompanies an accepted ESWC 2025 resource paper and showcases SWLS in an interactive web-based environment, where users can explore its features across four dedicated editor panels: (i) an RDF instance data editor, (ii) an ontology editor, (iii) a SHACL shape editor and (iv) a SPARQL query editor. The demo highlights SWLS's ability to detect syntax and semantic errors, suggest completions based on dereferenced ontologies, and assist users in writing coherent SPARQL queries. By improving the development workflow and addressing common pitfalls, SWLS aims to enhance the usability of Semantic Web technologies and facilitate broader adoption. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JY3ZV2S62C2CGMX5MDXCNTET http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JY3ZV2S62C2CGMX5MDXCNTET http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99554-5_27 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JY3ZV2S62C2CGMX5MDXCNTET/file/01JY3ZX2GRVNGR37RQ6KTD95ZT https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JY3ZV2S62C2CGMX5MDXCNTET/file/01JY3ZX2GRVNGR37RQ6KTD95ZT eng Springer Cham info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess SEMANTIC WEB : ESWC 2025 SATELLITE EVENTS ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783031995538 ISBN: 9783031995545 Technology and Engineering Language Server IDE Tool Linked Open Vocabularies Semantic Web Bringing modern IDE features to Semantic Web formats with the Semantic Web Language Server conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Response to a crisis and applicant attraction : signaling employer brand personality and organizational trust through warm and competent COVID-19 responses https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8763404 Kanwal, Hira Van Hoye, Greet Schollaert, Eveline 2022 This paper investigates how organizations' response to a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic affects their employer attractiveness. Based on signaling theory, we argue that a COVID-19 response can signal an organization's employer brand personality, positively affecting applicant attraction. We conducted two experimental studies with employed and unemployed UK participants through Prolific Academic. Both studies indicate that a warm COVID-19 response leads to the highest employer attractiveness and job pursuit intentions, although a competent response was still more attractive than no response. Moreover, applicants use the warm and competent responses as signals of organizational warmth and competence respectively, building higher organizational trust. Limited support for the moderating role of applicants' personality was found. Implications during and beyond COVID-19 are discussed. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8763404 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8763404 http://doi.org/10.1111/ijsa.12394 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8763404/file/01GQEYV0E1NEK8130VH8XX63DV https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8763404/file/01GQEYV0E1NEK8130VH8XX63DV eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT ISSN: 0965-075X ISSN: 1468-2389 Business and Economics FIT RECRUITMENT COMPLEMENTARY SUPPLEMENTARY DIMENSIONS SELECTION applicant attraction competence COVID-19 COVID-19 response crisis employer attractiveness employer brand personality job pursuit intentions personality trust warmth Response to a crisis and applicant attraction : signaling employer brand personality and organizational trust through warm and competent COVID-19 responses journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bridging the AC non-equilibrium greens function formalism and transmission line models for the analysis of nanointerconnects https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMFQD2BM9FN0ZSS5BCPE6GW1 Vanderstraeten, Emile Vande Ginste, Dries 2026 The unfavorable scaling of Cu interconnects at nanoscale dimensions has prompted the search for alternative materials. To model electron transport in these novel nanointerconnects, both steady-state non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) techniques and transmission line (TL) models have been employed. While steady-state NEGF enables a first-principles analysis of the transmission through realistic nanostructures, it cannot capture time-dependent behavior. TL models, on the other hand, offer insight into the dynamical properties of nanointerconnects but have been derived for idealized systems and require external input to approximately account for imperfections. Furthermore, they are based on a linear approximation of the bandstructure and cannot deal with nonlinear phenomena. Recently, an AC NEGF technique was introduced that addresses these issues by specifically targeting time-dependent phenomena under a periodic bias. In this work, we analytically demonstrate that, under appropriate assumptions, the linear TL model for nanowires emerges directly from the AC NEGF equations. The derivation naturally yields the correct boundary conditions, establishing AC NEGF as a robust and versatile framework for the modeling of next-generation nanointerconnects. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMFQD2BM9FN0ZSS5BCPE6GW1 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMFQD2BM9FN0ZSS5BCPE6GW1 http://doi.org/10.1109/TNANO.2026.3668364 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMFQD2BM9FN0ZSS5BCPE6GW1/file/01KP2V7GD4QVAYX12JNSG3XH3C eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NANOTECHNOLOGY ISSN: 1536-125X ISSN: 1941-0085 Technology and Engineering Artificial intelligence NEGF nanoscale interconnects quantum transport transmission line modeling GRAPHENE-NANORIBBONS CARBON INTERCONNECTS Bridging the AC non-equilibrium greens function formalism and transmission line models for the analysis of nanointerconnects journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Demonstrating a pragmatic solution to context associations in RDF using blank node graphs https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGMAFFMSEK1VE7G1A353C5KS Curry, Edward Presutti, Valentina McCrae, John Alam, Mehwish Colpaert, Pieter Parreira, Josiane Xavier Collarana, Diego Sabou, Marta Harth, Andreas Lisena, Pasquale Dedecker, Ruben De Roo, Jos Gonçalves Crisóstomo Esteves, Beatriz Colpaert, Pieter 2025 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-14 info:eu-repo/date/embargoEnd/2026-10-14 Actors in Web ecosystems integrating data from multiple sources–such as in the Solid project or in thematic data spaces–must be able to express requirements over a combination of exchanged data and its associated context. Examples include assigning confidence to integrated data, tracking provenance, signing a specific set of statements, or the expression of policies for usage control. Despite earlier attempts, there is no general consensus on how to model such context associations, resulting in a lack of interoperability for exchanging combined context and data across actors. With this paper, we propose a pragmatic modeling approach for context associations, by referencing Blank Node Graphs, thereby enforcing a specific interpretation of the graph name and restricting its definition to a blank node to avoid accidental merging of graphs. We introduce the “RDF context associations” specification, which defines the data model and the interpretation. The demonstrator then showcases both the modeling of context information over given source data and the filtering of the resulting context associations using SPARQL. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGMAFFMSEK1VE7G1A353C5KS http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KGMAFFMSEK1VE7G1A353C5KS http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99554-5_11 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGMAFFMSEK1VE7G1A353C5KS/file/01KGMAGWDE5HF798X1JD4SH7S1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KGMAFFMSEK1VE7G1A353C5KS/file/01KGMAGWDE5HF798X1JD4SH7S1 eng Springer Cham info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess SEMANTIC WEB : ESWC 2025 SATELLITE EVENTS ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783031995538 ISBN: 9783031995545 Technology and Engineering Linked Data RDF Context Associations Blank Node Graphs personal data Demonstrating a pragmatic solution to context associations in RDF using blank node graphs conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion De evolutie van de mens : een kapstokschema https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDF5VBDVXCA5QTDKZKKPXM8 Gautier, Achiel 2009 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDF5VBDVXCA5QTDKZKKPXM8 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KMDF5VBDVXCA5QTDKZKKPXM8 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDF5VBDVXCA5QTDKZKKPXM8/file/01KMDF7PB6819JFB517E7EQZ6K https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KMDF5VBDVXCA5QTDKZKKPXM8/file/01KMDF7PB6819JFB517E7EQZ6K dut info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess SPIRIFER (BERCHEM) ISSN: 1370-3366 Biology and Life Sciences De evolutie van de mens : een kapstokschema journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Optimizing write performance in decentralized data ecosystems https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RQ667H7RZM5289TWYNFRFE De Smet, Jitse 2025 There is growing interest in sharing self-governed, non-public data across organisational structures. In response, interest in decentralized data ecosys‐ tems increased, and systems like Solid, IDSA, and Gaia-X started being devel‐ oped. These systems aim to boost data interoperability and allow authorized third parties to write to restricted sets of organisations’ data. Decentralized data ecosystems are being developed to support various use-cases, each with different optimal data structures and interfaces. To create a unified data ecosystem, these systems must embrace data and interface heterogeneity. However, this hetero‐ geneity complicates interactions with the data ecosystem, as data-consumers like developers and data analysts need to know how to interact with each interface. To address these complexities, data reading has been abstracted using declarative queries. Unfortunately, read abstraction solutions are not fully transferable to writing, even though writing is vital in a living data ecosystem. My PhD investi‐ gates how we can abstract writing over heterogeneous data sources. Tackling the fundamental challenges of abstracting complexities involving updates over de‐ centralized data ecosystems which are permissioned, heterogeneous in both data and interface, decentralized, and have no central authority for managing updates. As a result, data-consumers will be able to interact with the data ecosystem with‐ out needing to know how to interact with individual interfaces. This research will accelerate the adoption of decentralized data ecosystems by significantly lower‐ ing the barrier towards creating write-based apps on top of them. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RQ667H7RZM5289TWYNFRFE http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K7RQ667H7RZM5289TWYNFRFE http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99554-5_32 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RQ667H7RZM5289TWYNFRFE/file/01K7RQ84H0STWP2VXE8VEPKTM3 eng Springer Cham info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess SEMANTIC WEB : ESWC 2025 SATELLITE EVENTS ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783031995538 ISBN: 9783031995545 Technology and Engineering Optimizing write performance in decentralized data ecosystems conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion SGF : SPARQL updates over decentralized knowledge graphs without access path dependencies https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RPZZ9D6534C27KYQE6753Q De Smet, Jitse Taelman, Ruben 2025 Decentralized data ecosystems, such as the Solid project, empower users to control their data but introduce complexities in data storage and retrieval. Current solutions provide mechanisms for describing data structures but lack suf‐ ficient guidance for determining where to create or update resources. To address this challenge, we propose the Storage Guiding Framework (SGF), a framework that enables clients to manage RDF resource storage within Solid pods. This pa‐ per introduces SGF, detailing the describing structure and how SGF allows clients to treat Solid pods as RDF collections rather than a collection of unstructured HTTP documents. Our findings show that SGV enhances data accessibility by eliminating the access path data-dependency and providing clear storage strate‐ gies. This improvement simplifies client-side data management while maintaining flexibility in data organization. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RPZZ9D6534C27KYQE6753Q http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K7RPZZ9D6534C27KYQE6753Q http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99554-5_3 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7RPZZ9D6534C27KYQE6753Q/file/01K7RQ25HPD82HD7C2MA2DJPXJ eng Springer Cham info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess SEMANTIC WEB : ESWC 2025 SATELLITE EVENTS ISSN: 0302-9743 ISSN: 1611-3349 ISBN: 9783031995538 ISBN: 9783031995545 Technology and Engineering Solid RDF Data Management Update Querying SGF : SPARQL updates over decentralized knowledge graphs without access path dependencies conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion If they disagree, will you conform? https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2S7Y0HBCJ0NAC34EZ9R678 Pusceddu, Giulia Abbo, Giulio Antonio Rea, Francesco Belpaeme, Tony Sciutti, Alessandra 2025 This study investigates whether the opinions of robotic agents are more likely to influence human decision-making when the robots are perceived as value-aware (i.e., when they display an understanding of human principles). We designed an experiment in which participants interacted with two Furhat robots - one programmed to be Value-Aware and the other Non-Value-Aware - during a labeling task for images representing human values. Results indicate that participants distinguished the Value-Aware robot from the Non-Value-Aware one. Although their explicit choices did not indicate a clear preference for one robot over the other, participants directed their gaze more toward the Value-Aware robot. Additionally, the Value-Aware robot was perceived as more loyal, suggesting that value awareness in a social robot may enhance its perceived commitment to the group. Finally, when both robots disagreed with the participant, conformity occurred in about one out of four trials, and participants took longer to confirm their responses, suggesting that two robots expressing dissent may introduce hesitation in decision-making. On one hand, this highlights the potential risk that robots, if misused, could manipulate users for unethical purposes. On the other hand, it reinforces the idea that social robots might encourage reflection in ambiguous situations and help users avoid scams. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2S7Y0HBCJ0NAC34EZ9R678 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01KP2S7Y0HBCJ0NAC34EZ9R678 http://doi.org/10.1075/is.25030.pus https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01KP2S7Y0HBCJ0NAC34EZ9R678/file/01KP2S919C7ZMR75TS3QKX05N9 eng JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING CO info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess INTERACTION STUDIES ISSN: 1572-0373 ISSN: 1572-0381 value awareness conformity Robot influence decision-making multi-party interaction group human-robot interaction group dynamics TRUST ROBOT If they disagree, will you conform? journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Investigating the effect of average head models on event-related potential source localization https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HZ1ME9P8QDCKGTVG2FQ0WKGS Depuydt, Emma Criel, Yana De Letter, Miet van Mierlo, Pieter 2024 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HZ1ME9P8QDCKGTVG2FQ0WKGS http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HZ1ME9P8QDCKGTVG2FQ0WKGS https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HZ1ME9P8QDCKGTVG2FQ0WKGS/file/01HZ1MMPDGCFW0YMV2YTF1T9PC eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Neural Traces 2024 Workshop, Abstracts Physics and Astronomy Technology and Engineering Medicine and Health Sciences Investigating the effect of average head models on event-related potential source localization conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion The power of peers : a spatial analysis of nationally determined contributions https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JRQ0XTP2D1F55EPYEYVTAJMX Van Coppenolle, Hermine 2025 The Paris Agreement's pledge and review process was designed to ramp up climate ambition through norm-setting and repeated interactions. Yet this peer influence dynamic remains underexplored in analyses of the determinants of climate ambition. To address this gap, this paper examines whether the climate ambition of peer countries can explain climate ambition in subsequent rounds of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This paper builds on and contributes to research on the Paris Agreement, the drivers of climate ambition, and the broader literature on soft governance. Using spatial regression models, the analysis incorporates peer pressure into spatial lags of first-round NDC ambition to assess patterns of convergence and divergence in the second round of NDCs. The results show that climate ambition for peer groups with high geopolitical affinity, similar levels of democracy, and regional similarity converges, while countries with similar income levels exhibit diverging ambition trends. These results underscore the interdependent nature of climate ambition and suggest that leveraging peer networks could enhance global climate cooperation under the Paris Agreement. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JRQ0XTP2D1F55EPYEYVTAJMX http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01JRQ0XTP2D1F55EPYEYVTAJMX http://doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2025.2489738 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01JRQ0XTP2D1F55EPYEYVTAJMX/file/01JRQ1444RYBNNN1THG29105XJ eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess CLIMATE POLICY ISSN: 1469-3062 ISSN: 1752-7457 Law and Political Science Paris Agreement pledge and review climate governance peer groups climate ambition spatial regression PARIS AGREEMENT DEPENDENCE DIFFUSION The power of peers : a spatial analysis of nationally determined contributions journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Loss-of-function of the Zinc Finger Homeobox 4 (ZFHX4) gene causes a novel neurodevelopmental disorder https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J1QB6JHVMABRBPZ95CW6FPD2 Pérez Baca, Maria del Rocio Palomares, Maria Vanhooydonck, Michiel D'haene, Eva Jacobs, Eva Vantomme, Lies Santos-Simarro, Fernando Lleuger-Pujol, Roser García-Miñáur, Sixto Losantos-García, Itsaso Menten, Björn Sadegheh Haghshenas, Seyyedeh Levy, Michael A. Kerkhof, Jennifer McConkey, Haley Sadikovic, Bekim Dermaut, Bart Bogaert, Elke Vergult, Sarah Callewaert, Bert Consortium, ZFHX4 2024 Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) result from impaired development and functioning of the brain. Here, we identify a novel NDD caused by loss-of-function variation in ZFHX4, encoding a zinc-finger homeodomain transcription factor. In 2011, ZFHX4 haploinsufficiency was suggested as (one of) the underlying mechanism(s) in 8q21.11 microdeletions. Moreover, in 2020, ZFHX4 was reported as a novel NDD candidate gene in a large-scale exome-sequencing study. Through an international collaboration, we gathered data on 47 individuals with protein truncating variants (n=27), (micro)deletions (n=19) or an inversion (n=1) affecting ZFHX4. Loss-of-function of ZFHX4 consistently associates with ID, morphological abnormalities of the central nervous system, short stature, hypotonia and distinctive facial characteristics as supported by artificial intelligence (Face2Gene), and, occasionally, cleft palate and anterior segment dysgenesis. We identified a preliminary mild common DNA methylation profile in leukocyte-derived DNA of patients with truncating variants and with (micro)deletions affecting ZFHX4. Via data-mining and multiple in vitro models we identified ZFHX4 as a nuclear protein and found increasing expression during human brain development and neuronal differentiation. First-generation (F0) zfhx4 crispant zebrafish - (mosaic) mutant for zfhx4 loss-of-function variants - have significantly smaller Meckel’s cartilages and ethmoid plates in comparison with control zebrafish upon Alcian blue staining. To get a better understanding of its role during neurodevelopment, we are currently assessing the interaction partners and downstream targets of ZFHX4 in neural progenitor cells and neural crest cells. In conclusion, ZFHX4 appears to be essential for neural and craniofacial development and ZFHX4 loss-of-function variants are associated with a novel form of syndromic ID. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J1QB6JHVMABRBPZ95CW6FPD2 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01J1QB6JHVMABRBPZ95CW6FPD2 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01J1QB6JHVMABRBPZ95CW6FPD2/file/01J1QCV7C23VZGDPA9J2R5NPG0 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Belgian Society for Human Genetics (BeSHG) Annual Symposium 2024 : Single Cells : to care or not to care, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Biology and Life Sciences Loss-of-function of the Zinc Finger Homeobox 4 (ZFHX4) gene causes a novel neurodevelopmental disorder conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Pledge, review, repeat : understanding the drivers and constraints of climate ambition https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K4PRA5XP95KPBP0FT5AFDKEG Van de Graaf, Thijs Van Coppenolle, Hermine 2025 This dissertation examines the drivers and constraints of climate ambition under the pledge-and-review architecture of the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement introduced both a domestic and a performative turn in global climate governance. Countries are now required to submit nationally determined contributions or climate pledges every five years, with the expectation that each round will reflect increased ambition. It is within this context that I explore how and why climate ambition forms and spreads. To explore how climate ambition spreads under the pledge-and-review architecture of the Paris Agreement, I employ three perspectives: a normative, legal-institutional, and sociological-institutional lens. Each perspective guides an investigation of a different dimension of climate ambition. First, I analyse the rapid diffusion of net zero as a global climate norm, using norm life cycle theory. Second, I examine the legal potential of institutional linkage between the Paris Agreement and EU Trade agreements. Finally, I investigate whether climate pledges are influenced by the ambition levels of peer countries. These analyses lead to three key findings. First, the Paris Agreement’s pledge-and-review mechanism has shaped state behaviour, countering claims that dismiss the Agreement as ineffective and mere ‘performative’. Second, institutions are key to spreading climate ambition, not just by coordinating efforts, but by embedding ambition in legal frameworks. Third, climate ambition spreads through both institutional interaction—different institutions and or-ganisations supporting climate ambition by linking their regimes—and through peer influence groups among countries with shared characteristics. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of climate ambition and offers new insights into global climate governance. It adds to the literature by focusing on how the Paris Agreement’s pledge-and-review process drives ambition. Though crucial questions remain about how and whether these climate pledges will be implemented, the Agreement has proven to be effective in raising and promoting climate ambition over time. In dit proefschrift onderzoek ik de determinanten van klimaatambitie onder het pledge-and-review raamwerk van het Parijsakkoord. Het Parijsakkoord introduceerde zowel een binnenlandse als een performatieve logica in internationaal klimaatbeleid. Landen moeten nu elke vijf jaar klimaatdoelstellingen of nationally determined contributions formuleren, met de normatieve verwachting dat de ambitie in deze doelstellingen stelselmatig stijgt. Het is in deze context dat ik onderzoek hoe klimaatambitie ontstaat en zich verspreidt. Om te onderzoeken hoe klimaatambitie zich verspreidt onder de pledge-and-review-architectuur van het Parijsakkoord, gebruik ik een raamwerk met drie analytische lenzen: een normatief, legaal-institutioneel en sociologisch-institutioneel perspectief. Elke lens gidst een analyse van een verschillende dimensie van klimaatambitie. Eerst onderzoek ik aan de hand van de levenscyclustheorie van normen de snelle verspreiding van net zero als een internationale klimaatnorm. Ten tweede analyseer ik het legale potentieel van de institu-tionele link tussen het Parijsakkoord en EU handelsverdragen. Als laatste onderzoek ik hoe landen beïnvloed kunnen worden door de klimaatambitie van hun peers. Deze analyses brengen mij tot drie centrale inzichten. Een eerste inzicht is dat het Parijsakkoord het gedrag van staten heeft beïnvloed, wat ingaat tegen kritieken dat het Parijsakkoord ineffectief en louter performatief is. Ten tweede belicht ik het belang van instituties in het verspreiden van klimaatambitie, niet alleen in het coördineren van klimaatambitie, maar in het verankeren ervan in wettelijke raamwerken. Ten derde vind ik dat klimaatambitie zich verspreidt door zowel institutionele interactie, waar verschillende organisaties en instituties klimaatambitie ondersteunen zich aan elkaar te verbinden, alsook door de invloed van peer-groepen van landen met gedeelde kenmerken. Dit proefschrift draagt bij tot ons begrip van klimaatambitie en biedt nieuwe inzichten op internationaal klimaatbeleid. Het draagt bij tot de literatuur door zich te focussen op hoe het pledge-and-review proces van het Parijsakkoord ambitie aandrijft. Hoewel er nog steeds cruciale vragen zijn rond hoe en of deze doelstellingen geïmplementeerd worden, heeft het Parijsakkoord aangetoond dat het effectief is in het verhogen en promoten van klimaatambitie. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K4PRA5XP95KPBP0FT5AFDKEG http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K4PRA5XP95KPBP0FT5AFDKEG https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K4PRA5XP95KPBP0FT5AFDKEG/file/01K4PSYK54Q2N01FZQET0THWEG eng Ghent University.

These newly independent states often encounter multifaceted challenges during their transitions to full statehood. Among these are issues related to agriculture and food safety sectors, which are important sources of income and employment and directly impact public health and national development. One specific concern is the monitoring and control of mycotoxins in food. Despite the importance of this issue globally, this challenge specifically in newly independent countries has received limited attention. Investigating the situation in monitoring of mycotoxins in Kosovo, a case study to illustrate the broader situation, showed limited occurrence data with complete absence of data on emerging mycotoxins. Furthermore, the regulations currently applied in Kosovo are adapted from the European Union (EU) regulations 1881/2006, which has since been amended and is now considered outdated within the EU. The challenges in systematic mycotoxin monitoring are rooted from several factors, including insufficient infrastructure, which compromises effective risk management in newly independent countries. Overall, this review summarizes the current situation of mycotoxin contamination in foods, outlines the regulatory framework, highlights the key challenges, and proposes some strategies to enhance mycotoxin monitoring and research in Kosovo as an example of newly independent countries. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7K99P8WT4Q67PP2PWMTAY9P http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01K7K99P8WT4Q67PP2PWMTAY9P http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2025.108465 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01K7K99P8WT4Q67PP2PWMTAY9P/file/01K7K9CXB0WSMYKZBQFBDSQ6G0 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess JOURNAL OF FOOD COMPOSITION AND ANALYSIS ISSN: 0889-1575 ISSN: 1096-0481 Agriculture and Food Sciences Chemistry Capacity building Food safety Kosovo Mycotoxin monitoring Mycotoxins AFLATOXIN M1 MILK PRISHTINA Challenges in mycotoxin monitoring in recently independent countries : the case of Kosovo journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Towards improved Parsortix® efficiency for circulating tumor cell enrichment in pancreatic cancer https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HVRMR53RQ0R4Z1PFARV8B9XF Vandenbussche, Nele Lintermans, Béatrice Merckaert, Tijs Fieuws, Charlotte Gevaert, Kris Claes, Kathleen 2024 With its increasing incidence and dismal prognosis, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is becoming a global oncologic problem. In PDAC patients the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream is associated with poor overall survival, making CTCs an interesting biomarker. However, detecting CTCs in PDAC patients remains challenging since they are found at very low numbers in blood and consist of various subtypes. The Parsortix® device captures CTCs from blood samples based on cell size and deformability. We evaluated its ability to enrich and capture different subtypes of pancreatic cancer cells. Three pancreatic cancer cell lines, mimicking different CTC subtypes (epithelial, mesenchymal, and intermediate), were stained with a CellTracker Dye and spiked into blood samples from healthy donors. These samples were then processed using the Parsortix® and recovery rates were determined by quantifying the number of cancer cells present after enrichment. The mesenchymal cell line had a lower recovery rate (32.8 ± 10.2%) compared to the epithelial cell line (62.6 ± 18.5%). Using proteomics by data-independent acquisition (DIA)-mass spectrometry (MS), differentially expressed proteins and pathways were identified. The Rho signaling pathway was found downregulated in the mesenchymal cell line compared to the epithelial cell line. This pathway is a key regulator of the cytoskeleton and implicated in cell contractility. Therefore, we are currently investigating if activating the Rho signaling pathway can induce a stiffer cellular phenotype, reduce deformability, and improve Parsortix®-based cell enrichment. Our study highlights the importance of evaluating the recovery rates for different CTC subtypes to develop more effective methods for capturing the heterogeneity of CTCs in liquid biopsies. We hypothesize that introducing an activator of the Rho pathway into PDAC patient blood samples to stiffen CTCs, could enhance recovery rates and facilitate downstream analyses, potentially enhancing the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of CTCs in pancreatic cancer. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HVRMR53RQ0R4Z1PFARV8B9XF http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-01HVRMR53RQ0R4Z1PFARV8B9XF https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/01HVRMR53RQ0R4Z1PFARV8B9XF/file/01HVRMYZZ37ZXNPPA521QQH1GV eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Belgian Society for Human Genetics (BeSHG) Annual Symposium 2024 : Single Cells : to care or not to care, Abstracts Medicine and Health Sciences Towards improved Parsortix® efficiency for circulating tumor cell enrichment in pancreatic cancer conference info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Electric field measurements in the vicinity of an ICRF antenna https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715519 Crombé, Kristel Zohm, Hartmut Noterdaeme, Jean-Marie Kostić, Ana 2021 application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715519 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8715519 urn:isbn:9789463554756 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8715519/file/8715520 eng Ghent University.
