Agricultural Risk Analysis, Management and Information System Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This project aims to develop a comprehensive and user-friendly decision support tool to enhance farmers' decision-making in a context of risk and uncertainty. Farmers are increasingly subject to risk and uncertainty due to policy changes, restrictions on the use of crop protection measures, volatile prices, increasing debt-to-asset ratios, and more. Several of the existing instruments and ...
Integrated view on disruptions of early brain development - Brainview / The predictive value of early social information processing in infants at risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder Ghent University
Early onset neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are rather common, and affect more than 30 million children in Europe. The disorders carry a huge burden to the patients a

The formation, adaption and learning mechanism of risk preference within the neural noisy coding framework of decision making Ghent University
Recently, Khaw et al. (2021) proposed a seminal theoretical framework building on the dominant paradigm in neuroscience, which provides a micro-foundation for small stake risk aversion, as well as accounts for stochastic choice patterns. While this modeling approach has the potential to unify individual decision making and perhaps behavioral economics at large, I aim to theoretically expand and empirically test the noisy coding framework of ...
(Risk) Information Selection in a Choice-Filled Media Environment: A Cross-Topical Investigation into Content Elements That Attract Attention KU Leuven
The project will conduct basic research on how people seek and process information in a changing information environment, for example risk information regarding health. What are people likely to believe and how do they select their information sources? The aim is to conduct experiments on information seeking and processing, using the same basic research design on exemplary topics in the field of health communication or political ...
The rise and threat of new psychoactive substances: integrated research to obtain evidence-based information on their properties and actual use. University of Antwerp
Risk assessment in relation to the formation of toxic aldehydes in foods available in the Belgian market as a result of lipid oxidation Ghent University
Malondialdehyde, acrolein, 4-hydroxy-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-hexenal are generated during the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in foods. The current project deals with the development, implementation and validation of analytical methods, determination of the target aldehydes in foods available in the Belgian market and finally based on the obtained results, an exposure assessment to the target components taking into account the ...
