Genetic control of plantarchitecture in two representative crops as basis for yield enhancement through improved culture techniques and efficient breeding Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In this project we investigate the relationship between plant architecture (e.g. branching capacity) and important agronomic traits in perennial ryegrass, such as persistence, sward density, forage quality, yield, and regrowth capacity after mowing. On this basis, we determine the ideal architecture type of the crop for optimal cultivation, quality, and yield. In addition, we examine to what ...

The identification of the techniques of medieval and Renaissance wall paintings in the Low Countries - Necessity of this knowledge for cultural heritage management and conservation practice. Ghent University
In this study binding media of approximately 100 samples of about 20 wall paintingsU+2019 sites in Low Countries, dated between c. 1300 and 1600, will be identified. The study aims to give a first view on wall paintingsU+2019 techniques. The necessity of these results for conservation practice will be underlined.

Culture at work. A study of the impact of culture on unethical employee behaviour KU Leuven
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in integrity and unethical employee behaviour (UEB), in the public as well as the private sector. Many organisations try to prevent UEB trough different policy interventions. Although the impact of organisational factors (e.g. autonomy, rules and procedures, competition, etc.) seems important, research into the general impact of these factors on different types of UEB is limited. Rather ...

Culture, social structure, and the self: Explorations into varieties of cultural fit in self-construal, changes therein, and the predictors and outcomes thereof KU Leuven
People's self-construals—how individuals define themselves and interact with others—demonstrate systematic cultural differences (Markus & Kitayama, 1991; Singelis, 1994; Vignoles et al., 2016). Such differences stem not only from ethnic-cultural factors but are also influenced by social structures (e.g., social stratification, labour relations, urbanisation, gender roles, etc.), resulting in distinct self patterns that prevail among ...
