Aristoteles Latinus 2.0: creating a Digital Aristoteles Latinus Environment (DALE) KU Leuven

Lisa Devriese, Gerd Van Riel, Pieter De Leemans
De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy

This project will develop a digital environment for the Aristoteles Latinus project (DALE), the longstanding project that aims at documenting the different forms in which the Corpus Aristotelicum was read in Latin in the Middle Ages. Its purpose is to facilitate research on medieval Aristotelianism in general, and on medieval Aristotle translations, more concretely. More specifically, we will create a portal website that offers (1) a survey ...

Ontwikkeling LATIS 4 Flanders Hydraulics

Silke Broidioi
Flanders Hydraulics
In dit project wordt verder gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van LATIS. LATIS 3 is in staat om economisch- en slachtofferrisico te berekenen. In dit project zal een methodologie ontwikkeld worden om ook de sociale/menselijke, ecologische en culturele/erfgoed impact van overstromingen te berekenen. Deze methodologie zal vervolgens in LATIS 4 geïmplementeerd worden.

Aquaculture meets Biomedicine: Innovation in Skeletal Health research Ghent University

Paul Witten

Skeletal anomalies in farmed fish are a continuous problem for global aquaculture, affecting fish welfare, performance, and product quality. Aquaculture research has made considerable progress in reducing the incidence of deformities, but new species, intensified production, the damned for sterile fish, delicate early life stages and new fish feed ingredients are a continuous challenge. The use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and medaka (Oryzias ...

Latijnse autoriteit en constructionele transparantie: neologismen in het Franse medische vocabularium van de middeleeuwen en hun voortbestaan. Latin authority and constructional transparency: neologisms in the French medical vocabulary of the Middle Ages KU Leuven

Michèle Goyens
Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics (QLVL), Leuven, Comparative, Historical and Applied Linguistics, Leuven

This study has investigated why certain French neologisms that emerged in the field of medicine during the Middle Ages managed to survive, while others disappeared after some time. My hypothesis is that morphology, in particular constructional transparency, contributed in a crucial manner to lexical preservation. More specifically, words formally close to Latin should have more chances of survival than original French creations, ...

'Ad fontes!' in the Classroom: Teaching Latin, Greek, and Hebrew Texts in the Early Modern Southern Low Countries KU Leuven

Raf Van Rooy, Jan Papy
Latin Literature, Leuven
Whereas the spread of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew texts in the Renaissance has been extensively studied, the didactic praxis involved in teaching these languages and their literatures at European universities and institutes has not yet met with systematic and in-depth focused research. Studying the teaching practices used in the early modern auditoria is, however, quintessential to a correct understanding of the transmission of ...

Clinical application of computed-tomography based imaging in acute ischemic stroke KU Leuven

Laboratory for Neurobiology (VIB-KU Leuven), Laboratory for Cognitive Neurology

Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease and one of the leading causes of disability. Blood vessel occlusion in ischemic stroke limits blood flow to downstream brain tissue. Severe hypoperfusion causes complete cellular energy depletion, resulting in cell necrosis in an area called the ischemic core. Less severely hypoperfused brain tissue surrounding the ischemic core contributes to the patient’s symptoms, but remains viable ...

The Thread of Life. Critical Editions of the Translatio Vetus of Aristotle's De Longitudine et Brevitate Vitae and Selected Texts from Its Early Reception in Oxford KU Leuven

Griet Galle, Pieter De Leemans
Didactics of Philosophy, De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy, Latin Literature, Leuven

Among Aristotle’s Parva naturalia (‘Short Treatises on Natural Philosophy’), we find the text De longitudine et brevitate vitae (‘On Length and Shortness of Life’). In this work, the Philosopher investigates the causes of longevity and brevity of life in both plants and animals. De longitudine et brevitate vitae became accessible to Latin scholars in the medieval West by means of its first ...
