How does the mosquito microbiota (virome and bacteriome) influence the ability of Culex mosquitoes to transmit West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus, two important emerging flaviviruses in Europe? KU Leuven
West Nile Virus (WNV) and Usutu Virus (USUV) are two important emerging threats to human and animal health in Europe. Both viruses are primarily transmitted by mosquitoes of the Culex genus, including Culex pipiens, the most widespread mosquito in our continent. Little is known about the microbiome (virome and bacteriome) of these mosquitoes, and even less is known about how they might affect the vector competence of Culex mosquitoes for ...
Evolutionary-ecological study of the synergistic (bio)pesticide cocktails on the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus and its competitor the water flea Daphnia magna KU Leuven
Natural populations are increasingly facing multiple stressors. Their ability to deal with interacting stressor combinations will be crucial for their local persistence. Populations of target species are typically exposed to pesticide mixtures and natural stressors, and are increasingly developing resistance to single pesticides. Nevertheless, we have poor knowledge whether natural stressors and the presence of pesticide resistance shape ...

The Interpretation of the Codex Canonici Iuris 1983 with due regard to the Mystery of the Church KU Leuven
The Second Vatican Council mandated that the teaching of canon law take the mystery of the Church as set out in the Council’s dogmatic constitution « Lumen gentium » into account (Optatam totius, n. 16). Pope Paul VI and John Paul II insisted upon the foundation of the canon law in the Mystery of the Church.

THE CANONICAL RIGHT TO REMUNERATION AND DECENT SUPPORT OF THE CLERGY ACCORDING TO CODEX IURIS CANONICI 1983 WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THOSE CLERICS WHO HAVE BECOME UNSUITABLE FOR ECCLESIASTICAL OFFICES KU Leuven
The system of maintenance of the clergy today we have in the Church is the result of a long historical and juridical process. According to CIC 1917 we had the benefices to provide for the remuneration and decent support of the clergy. It was more of the disciplinary nature of incardination through the bishop’s vigilance and control. Whereas the Revised Code abolished this practice of benefices and it leaves the responsibility of providing ...
Individualized Paediatric Cure: Cloud-based virtual-patient models for precision paediatric oncology Ghent University
Effective personalized medicine for paediatric cancers must address a multitude of challenges, including domainspecific challenges. To overcome these challenges, we propose a comprehensive computational effort to combine knowledge-base, machine-learning, and mechanistic models to predict optimal standard and experimental therapies for each child. Our approach is based on virtual patient models–in-silico avatars whose analysis can inform ...
