Beyond the binary: towards gender-neutral Belgian parentage law? A normative and comparative law research concerning the desirability of gender neutralization of the Belgian civil code Hasselt University
Drone detection, classification and neutralization through artificial intelligence based RF sensing and protocol aware jamming KU Leuven
Recent technological advancements and the growing popularity of drones have brought about many beneficial applications across various industries. However, their widespread availability has resulted in a rise in illegal activities. Implementing effective Counter-UAS (C-UAS) is essential to protect critical infrastructure, enforce regulations, and prevent contraband deliveries. By promptly identifying unauthorized drones, authorities can take ...
ERANETIL-18 and MRP neutralization for the treatment of anti-IL-1-refractory autoinflammatory diseases Ghent University
Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are a group of devastating systemic inflammatory syndromes characterized by seemingly unprovoked episodes of severe inflammation without signs of classical autoimmunity. The general prevalence of AID is below 1:100,000 individuals. As the genes mutated in AID are increasingly being mapped, inflammasome signalling and the cytoskeletal network are emerging as key mechanisms responsible for AID. Excess ...
The dilemma between neutralization and politicization; the political identity of Europe KU Leuven
On the basis of his concept of the political, Carl Schmitt has criticized the liberal ideal of a neutral state for failing to account for the political distinction between friends and enemies – a logic that any political entity is subject to. His criticism consists of two elements: on the one hand the idea of a neutral state is insufficiently political because of its unwillingness to decide on an authoritative and constitutive political ...

Combined chemotherapy and inflammasome neutralization for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma Ghent University
Chemoresistance of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells underlies the poor prognosis of patients with advanced disease. Hence, it seems plausible to combine the standard-of-care chemotherapy for NSCLC (typically a combination of platinum-based compounds and taxanes) with strategies that block the induction of chemoresistance.
Recent evidence illustrated that tumor-associated macrophages contribute to diminished therapy ...
Neutralization in lexicon, grammar, and discourse Ghent University
In a first phase, an overview will be given of the various senses in which the term "neutralization" has been used in 20th-century linguistics. At the same time, attention will be paid to the relation between the notion "neutralization" and other notions such as syncretism, metaphor, idiomatic norm reference, neutrality, etc. Also the relation "neutralization"-"markedness" will be discussed. In a second phase, lexical and grammatical ...
