Experimental Legal Methods in the Classroom KU Leuven
As legal research and scholarship are increasingly turning to interdisciplinary approaches, the question arises as to how to introduce quantitative research techniques to a student population usually unfamiliar with empirical methods. We argue that classroom experiments form an effective — and, from the perspective of students, attractive — way to teach law students the logic of empirical inquiry. Many questions and controversies on and around ...
IntersectionExplorer, a multi-perspective approach for exploring recommendations KU Leuven
© 2018 In this paper, we advent a novel approach to foster exploration of recommendations: IntersectionExplorer, a scalable visualization that interleaves the output of several recommender engines with human-generated data, such as user bookmarks and tags, as a basis to increase exploration and thereby enhance the potential to find relevant items. We evaluated the viability of IntersectionExplorer in the context of conference paper ...
School self-evaluation : self-perception or self-deception? The impact of motivation and socially desirable responding on self-evaluation results Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
In order to enhance the quality of education, school self-evaluation (SSE) has become a key strategy in many educational systems. During an SSE process, schools describe and evaluate their own functioning, often by administering questionnaires among teachers. However, it is unknown to what extent SSE questionnaire results are distorted by respondents performed on the results of an authentic SSE with 382 participants. Results indicate that ...
Augustine’s Ostia Revisited: A Plotinian or Christian Ascent in Confessiones 9? KU Leuven
Augustine converted to Christianity in 386 and described his conversion in his Confessiones a decade later. Much ink has been spilled concerning the question of the specific nature of Augustine’s conversion and the ‘historical accuracy’ of his description thereof 10 years later. The Confessiones seem to describe a volte face: he radically embraced Christianity. But to what kind of Christianity did he convert? We will readdress this question, not ...
Exploring the effects of seismicity on landslides and catchment sediment yield: An Italian case study KU Leuven
© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Recent studies showed that contemporary average catchment sediment yields (SY, [t km− 2 y− 1]) at regional and continental scales are often strongly correlated to spatial patterns of seismic activity. Nonetheless, we currently have little insights into the mechanisms that explain these correlations. We investigated how spatial patterns of SY in Italy are linked to patterns of seismic activity. For a dataset of 103 Italian ...
Restriction capillaries as an innovative mixing unit for intermediate mobile phase exchange in multidimensional analysis KU Leuven
A novel mixing unit is proposed for the serial coupling of orthogonal columns to analyze polar and non-polar compounds in a single run. The principle relies on the isolation of unretained peaks eluting from a first dimension column in a sample loop, before directing them to a second column for separation. Since the mobile phases employed in highly orthogonal separations are not directly compatible, a mixing unit is required to alter the mobile ...
The animal inside: essays at the intersection of philosophical anthropology and animal studies University of Antwerp
Imaging Intraplaque Inflammation in Carotid Atherosclerosis With 18F-Fluorocholine Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography Prospective Study on Vulnerable Atheroma With Immunohistochemical Validation KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: (18)F-fluorocholine ((18)F-FCH) uptake is associated with cell proliferation and activity in tumor patients. We hypothesized that (18)F-FCH could similarly be a valuable imaging tool to identify vulnerable plaques and associated intraplaque inflammation and atheroma cell proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ten consecutive stroke patients (90% men, median age 66.5 years, range, 59.4-69.7) with ipsilateral >70% carotid artery ...
Reception of communicative functions of prosody in hypokinetic dysarthria due to Parkinson's disease University of Antwerp
Background: Mapping adequacy of receptive prosodic abilities in speakers with hypokinetic dysarthria due to Parkinson's disease (PD) is useful, because therapy of disturbed production of prosody relies on adequate reception of prosody. There is evidence for a deficit of reception of emotional prosody in PD. Objective: The present study aims at presenting a comprehensive picture of the reception of various communicative functions of prosody in ...
