Nonprofit change-makers? A mixed methods study on the political role of NPOs. University of Antwerp
Finish your plate and clean up your language! A mixed methods approach to Colloquial Belgian Dutch and Standard Dutch variation in child-directed speech at Flemish dinner table conversations. KU Leuven
This project studies variation in the way parents address their children, focusing on parents’ selection of Colloquial Belgian Dutch (‘tussentaal’, e.g. gij ‘you’) or Standard Belgian Dutch forms (e.g. jij ‘you’). To acquire a comprehensive view on the matter, a mixed methods approach is adopted, in which quantitative and qualitative approaches are integrated.
A linguistic analysis of indexical markers of identity in Flemish job interviews in a changing recruitment context: A sociolinguistic-pragmatic mixed methods study KU Leuven
PROPEL: Physician Reported Preferences for End-of-life Decisions: a multinational cross-sectional mixed methods study Ghent University
The role of patient agency in the psychotherapeutic process: a mixed methods study. Ghent University
The patient is an active agent in his therapeutic process and is considered the most important determinant of psychotherapy outcome. The concept of patient agency refers to this characteristic to actively generate change. We will investigate whether patient agency can predict therapy outcome and how it comes about in the therapist-patient interaction.
The effect of implementing C-reactive protein point-of-care testing for respiratory tract infections on antibiotic prescribing: a mixed methods study in out-of-hours primary care. University of Antwerp
Minds At Work – A Mixed Method Approach to Assess the Effect of Indoor Nature for Healthy Organizations KU Leuven
The European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP) estimates 25% of Europeans will have a mental health issue in their lifetime, and 10% of long-term health issues and disabilities can be attributed to mental and emotional illnesses. The workplace is recognized to have a substantial impact on employees' health and wellbeing, and the Labour Force Survey data shows that across the EU 16% of all work-related health problems are ...
Semiparametric mixed models for the analysis of genome wide expression data Ghent University
The objective is the development of a semiparametric mixed model for stochastic ordening of the response variable. This is basically a non or semiparametric version of the linear mixed models. They will be applied here to the analysis of genome wide expression data from a 10x10 diallel crossing scheme for distinguishing between cis and trans regulation.
Optimal design of steel structures according to the Eurocodes using mixed-integer linear programming methods KU Leuven
In structural design, achieving minimum cost is the main goal. Structural design optimization plays a crucial role in reaching this goal. It can reduce both the consumption of natural resources by the construction industry and the engineering effort and therefore cost by automation of some of the most repetitive tasks in the design process. However, practicing structural engineers are reluctant to adopt optimization as a daily design tool. ...
