Historisch en out of the box: Cubex door Louis Herman De Koninck Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The CUBEX-kitchen was designed between 1927 and 1929 by modernist architect Louis Herman De Koninck and is undeniably part of Belgium's interior heritage, though it’s preservation is often neglected. Although already present in the design of the Frankfurter Küche (1926) by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, thus anticipating a more modern way of life, Cubex really offered an alternative and efficient way of kitchen design aimed at the optimal ...
How powerful are EULEX judges and prosecutors in Kosovo Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The international process on Kosovo status settlement ended-up with the Ahtisaari Plan, which in fact prescribed the settlement arrangements. The very basic principle of Ahtisaari Plan was the supervision of the Kosovo independence.

Deconstructing and defining EULEX Ghent University
Hailed as the greatest European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) mission to date, the European Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) has been oscillating between fulfilling its mission statement crafted in Brussels, while managing the controversial ethnic expectations of the local population in Kosovo. Because of its imposed “status neutral,” in its three years of deployment in Kosovo, EULEX is considered to have been preoccupied with keeping ...

Historisch en eigentijds : de Cubex keuken van Louis Herman De Koninck Ghent University
Wie in de jaren vijftig en zestig van de vorige eeuw opgroeide, herinnert zich ongetwijfeld de typische Cubex keukens van toen. Praktisch en ergonomisch ontworpen, vertegenwoordigden deze 'rationele' keukens de moderne leefstijl. Margot Missoorten en Ann Verdonck gaan terug tot het originele ontwerp van Louis Herman De Koninck uit 1930 en schetsen de evolutie van verschillende generaties aanpassingen en verbeteringen. Dat ze zelfs in de 21ste ...

Among-individual variation in the swimming behaviour of the amphipod Gammarus pulex under dark and light conditions Hasselt University
In recent years, considerable computational advancements have been made allowing automated analysis of behavioural endpoints using video cameras. However, the results of such analyses are often confounded by a large variation among individuals, making it problematic to derive endpoints that allow distinguishing treatment effects in behavioural studies. In this study, we quantitatively analysed the effects of light conditions on the swimming ...
A revolutionary recipe for housewives : the Cubex kitchen Ghent University
One hundred years ago kitchens were often limited to free-standing furniture and a stove in a living area. The interwar period, however, was a turning point as the kitchen gradually transformed into a rationally designed and carefully equipped separate space, with standardised functional elements. After the First World War, there was a desire for a new way of living in Europe, and the classical pre-war recipe for the kitchen made way for a ...
