Transient reliability evaluation of a stochastic structural system in fire : application of a probability density evolution method supported by evacuation models Ghent University
Structural fire resistance is a fundamental component of the overall fire safety strategy for buildings. Specifically, with respect to life safety, the structural fire resistance is intended to allow for the safe evacuation of the occupants and access for the fire & rescue service. With the proliferation of performance-based design (PBD) methodologies, the efficiency of fire safety measures is increasingly being challenged. For low-rise ...
Directionality in translator training Contrastive evaluation of L1 and L2 translations using the PIE method (Preselected Items Evaluation) and the ATA Framework for Standardized Error Marking KU Leuven
This paper illustrates the results of an experiment conducted in translator training in which thirty students translated a text from their L1 (Dutch) into their L2 (English). The students completed a questionnaire on their acquisition of the L1, the perceived difficulty of each translation direction and the main difficulties encountered. The translations were analysed and scored by means of PIE (Preselected Items Evaluation), and the errors ...
Evaluation of characterization models for the photochemical smog impact category focused on the Brazilian reality = Avaliação de modelos de caracterização para a categoria de impacto smog fotoquÃmico voltada à realidade brasileira = Evaluación de modelos Ghent University
The Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) is composed of characterization models, and in Brazil, the methodological and scientific LCIA framework is still under development. The research’s aim was to evaluate the literature available characterization models to photochemical smog category. Thus, the contribution of work is recommending one of these models to be used in Brazilian LCA studies, standardizing the studies in Brazil. The methodology ...
Concurrent and Predictive Validity of the Instrument for Forensic Treatment Evaluation: From Risk Assessment to Routine, Multidisciplinary Treatment Evaluation KU Leuven
Besides assessment of forensic patients' risk of future violence and criminogenic needs, knowledge on their responsivity to treatment is equally important. However, instruments currently used for risk assessment are not sensitive enough for treatment evaluation. Therefore, the Instrument for Forensic Treatment Evaluation (IFTE) was developed. The IFTE is a treatment evaluation tool, which uses the dynamic risk items of the Dutch risk assessment ...
Forensic psychiatric treatment evaluation: The clinical evaluation of treatment progress with repeated forensic routine outcome monitoring measures KU Leuven
The likelihood of recidivism is considered to be the most important outcome measure in forensic psychiatry. Therefore, forensic psychiatric treatment focuses on the reduction of the risk of recidivism by treating dynamic risk and protective factors, aiming to reduce risk factors while enhancing protective factors during treatment. The goal of this study is to assess treatment progress with the Instrument for Forensic Treatment Evaluation (IFTE) ...
