Invisible aged femininities in popular culture : representational strategies deconstructed Ghent University
Waar blijven de vrouwen in het nieuws? Ghent University
Hoe is het gesteld met het gender(on)evenwicht in het nieuws wereldwijd? Dat is het perspectief van het Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), een vijfjaarlijks onderzoek naar de representatie van vrouwen en mannen in nieuwsmedia.

The global burden of chronic and hidden hunger revisited: New panel data evidence spanning 1990–2017 Hasselt University
Gödecke, Stein and Qaim (2018) (GSQ) recently analysed the 1990-2010 trend and determinants of the global burden of chronic and hidden hunger. We reanalyse and extend GSQ's study and demonstrate that after 2010, significant reductions in the burden of hunger were achieved. In contrast with GSQ, we find that (i) hidden hunger is more prevalent than chronic hunger; (ii) cereal availability and the supply of vegetables and fruits matter; and (iii) ...

were either on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) or not on any anticoagulation preoperatively and all 4 of these were discharged on DAPT. Total time in the procedure room was 67 (622) minutes with 51(622) minutes of anesthesia time. A single device was used in 92% (n511). The mean LAA maximum size was 19 (63) mm with least device compression 20% (69). There were no complications. No patients had a peri-device leak at implant. One patient refused ...
Ethnobotanical characterization of medicinal plants used in Kisantu and Mbanza-Ngungu territories, Kongo-Central Province in DR Congo Ghent University
Background: The phytotherapeutic knowledge of the Kongo people in the territories of Kisantu and Mbanza-Ngungu in Kongo-Central Province (DR Congo) is rapidly eroding. To document the remaining knowledge, we conducted an ethnobotanical survey on the most important medicinal plant species and diseases treated with them, as well as plants with therapeutic potential. We also checked for the cultural similarity in medicinal plant knowledge between ...
Cognitive decline is associated with an accelerated rate of bone loss and increased fracture risk in women: a prospective study from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study Hasselt University
Cognitive decline and osteoporosis often coexist and some evidence suggests a causal link. However, there are no data on the longitudinal relationship between cognitive decline, bone loss and fracture risk, independent of aging. This study aimed to determine the association between: (i) cognitive decline and bone loss; and (ii) clinically significant cognitive decline (>= 3 points) on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) over the first 5 ...
