Sabbatical Karel Arnaut: Cultures of externalisation: daily practices and changing normativities of what is ‘beyond’ KU Leuven
Externalisation is rapidly becoming recognized as the pivotal issue at the heart of the most important concerns of our times: (a) climate change/the anthropocene, (b) inclusion/diversity, and (c) migration/globalised labour. Externalisation consists in relegating vital functions of your lifeworld to zones considered outside of it, marginal or less valuable. Among those vital functions the regeneration of natural resources (mineral, living or ...
Monitoring Motor Competence in 1- to 3-year-old Flemish Toddlers (MoMoCo): Reference values and insight into the correlates/determinants of motor competence and its development during the early years of life. Ghent University
MC is key for a healthy/active lifestyle, but hardly documented in 1- to 3-year-olds. Besides determining actual MC-levels in Flemish toddlers for developing up-to-date reference values, the variability of MC-trajectories will be linked to cognitive and socio-emotional functioning with identification of individual and environmental determinants.

Integrated treatment of non-ionic surfactant containing industrial wastewater: process optimization, material selection and life cycle analysis KU Leuven
Endocrine-disrupting compounds are increasingly recognized as a severe threat to aquatic (micro-)organisms and public health. One class of components that have distinct endocrine disruptive properties are non-ionic surfactants, such as alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs). Nonyl- and octylphenol ethoxylates are the most well-known APEOs used as non-ionic surfactants and are applied as cleaning, washing and surface-active agents in the textile ...
