Mobile Phones in a Traffic Flow: A Geographical Perspective to Evening Rush Hour Traffic Analysis Using Call Detail Records KU Leuven Ghent University University of Antwerp
Excessive land use and suburbanisation around densely populated urban areas has gone hand in hand with a growth in overall transportation and discussions about causality of traffic congestions. The objective of this paper is to gain new insight regarding the composition of traffic flows, and to reveal how and to what extent suburbanites' travelling affects rush hour traffic. We put forward an alternative methodological approach using call detail ...
Research on the Effects of Lying on Memory: A Scientometric Analysis and a Call for New Studies KU Leuven
Research on the effects of lying and memory is increasingly attracting empirical attention. In the current manuscript, a scientometric analysis was carried out on the mnemonic consequences of lying. This analysis took into account 70 published articles extracted from Scopus and Web of Science databases from 1998 to 2021. A scientometric analysis was conducted in order to visualize the state of the art on this line of research (i.e., authors, ...
Brand Communication of Higher Education Institutions: a Call for Multichannel Communication Analysis in Higher Education Branding Research KU Leuven
Research on branding is an established sub-discipline in the higher education literature. However, studies in this field have somehow produced contradictory results: some studies point at isomorphism, others find differentiation. Our study wants to offer a possible explanation for this paradox, by proposing a more nuanced view on brand communication. Based on a multiple case study of three Flemish universities, our results mainly point at ...
Out of hours care: a profile analysis of patients attending the emergency department and the general practitioner on call Ghent University University of Antwerp
A call for harmonization of European kidney care : dialysis reimbursement and distribution of kidney replacement therapies Ghent University
Background. We compare reimbursement for haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in European countries to assess the impact on government healthcare budgets. We discuss strategies to reduce costs by promoting sustainable dialysis and kidney transplantation.Methods. This was a cross-sectional survey among nephrologists conducted online July-December 2016. European countries were categorized by tertiles of gross domestic product per capita ...
Molecular analysis of migratory plant-parasitic nematodes with a focus on plant cell wall modifying enzymes Ghent University
Plant-parasitic nematodes cause a considerable amount of crop damage worldwide. These nematodes all have a stylet to damage plant cells mechanically, but through which they also secrete proteins important for their infection process. Most studies on genes encoding these so-called parasitism proteins were conducted on sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes which manipulate the plant to induce a specialized nematode feeding site. In this doctoral ...
Prevalence and characteristics of pregnancy and lactation related calls to the National Poison Centre in Belgium: a retrospective analysis of calls from 2012 to 2017 KU Leuven
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVE: In the absence of a Teratology Information Service in Belgium, the National Poison Centre might act as a substitute centre for answering pregnancy- and lactation-related questions regarding medication use. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence and characteristics of pregnancy- and lactation-related calls to the National Poison Centre in Belgium, as well as the type of health products involved during ...
Regulatory network analysis of Paneth cell and goblet cell enriched gut organoids using transcriptomics approaches KU Leuven
The epithelial lining of the small intestine consists of multiple cell types, including Paneth cells and goblet cells, that work in cohort to maintain gut health. 3D in vitro cultures of human primary epithelial cells, called organoids, have become a key model to study the functions of Paneth cells and goblet cells in normal and diseased conditions. Advances in these models include the ability to skew differentiation to particular lineages, ...
