Measuring Red Rape in a Hospital Setting: A Survey Experiment Hasselt University
Public administration research is actively exploring alternatives for the General Red Tape (GRT) scale to measure red tape. Due to increasing criticism on the GRT scale, scholars proposed the Three-Item Red Tape (TIRT) scale as an alternative. Using a repeated cross-sectional design, this article tests both scales in a before-after analysis of a major change in the organization of administration in a hospital. The results indicate that the GRT ...
Was It Rape? The David and Bathsheba Pericope Re-examined KU Leuven
In view of the academic debate on whether David raped Bathsheba, this article takes a new approach to 2 Sam 11-12. Using narrative analysis, it reinterprets 2 Sam 11-12 with the Hebrew biblical definition of rape in mind. This new approach reveals that some of the opposing views of exegetes on this pericope are caused by the imposition of todayâs definition of rape upon the narrative of 2 Sam 11-12. Our conclusion questions, on the one hand, the ...
Moral spaces and sexual transgression : understanding rape in war and post conflict Ghent University University of Antwerp
When it comes to rape in war, evocative language describing rape as a ‘weapon of war’ has become commonplace. Although politically important, overemphasis on strategic aspects of wartime sexual violence can be misleading. Alternative explanations tend to understand rape either as exceptional — a departure from ‘normal’ sexual relationships — or as part of a continuum of gendered violence. This article shows how, even in war, norms are not ...
The Relationship between Television Sports Exposure and Rape Myth Acceptance: The Mediating Role of Sexism and Sexual Objectification of Women KU Leuven
Rape affects a large proportion of women in the United States but is one of the most underreported crimes. It is believed that rape myth acceptance contributes to low reporting rates. We tested whether television sports exposure was indirectly related to higher acceptance of rape myth beliefs. An online survey involving 465 undergraduate students showed that viewing TV sports was positively related to hostile sexism, benevolent sexism, and ...
Ozone dose-response relationships for spring oilseed rape and broccoli University of Antwerp
Tropospheric ozone is an important air pollutant with known detrimental effects for several crops. Ozone effects on seed yield, oil percentage, oil yield and 1000 seed weight were examined for spring oilseed rape (Brassica napus cv. Ability). For broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. cv. Italica cv. Monaco) the effects on fresh marketable weight and total dry weight were studied. Current ozone levels were compared with an increase of 20 and 40 ppb ...
$O_{3}$ pollution in a future climate increases the competition between summer rape and wild mustard University of Antwerp
The initial aim of this study was to evaluate an effect of elevated CO2 concentration and air temperature (future climate) and O3 pollution on mono- and mixed-culture grown summer rape (Brassica napus L.) and wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.). The second task was to reveal the mechanisms of the shift in plants competitiveness in response to single and combined environmental changes. Plants were grown in mono- and mixed-cultures under current ...
Playing a videogame with a sexualized female character increases adolescents’ rape myth acceptance and tolerance toward sexual harassment KU Leuven
Objective: Prior research has documented favorable effects of active and educational videogames among adolescents. However, research on potential negative effects of such games is limited. Scholars have called attention to games portraying sexualized female characters. The purpose of the current study was to experimentally investigate the effect of playing a videogame with a sexualized female character on adolescents’ acceptance of rape myths ...
Ozone effects on yield quality of spring oilseed rape and broccoli University of Antwerp
The impact of elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) on the quality of spring oilseed rape (Brassica napus cv Ability) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. cv Italic cv Monaco) was assessed during a three year Open Top Chamber (OTC) experiment. Current ambient O3 levels were compared to an increase of 20 and 40 ppb during 8 h per day over the entire growing season. The qualitative responses were expressed as a function of the accumulated hourly O3 ...
Photosynthesis and crop growth of spring oilseed rape and broccoli under elevated tropospheric ozone University of Antwerp
The impact of a season-long exposure to moderately elevated tropospheric O3 concentrations on the canopy growth and photosynthetic capacity of two important Brassica crops, spring oilseed rape and broccoli, was studied during three consecutive growing seasons (20072009). Brassica napus L. cv. Ability and Brassica oleracea L. cv. Monaco were exposed to non-filtered ambient air (NF) and non-filtered air with addition of 20 (NF+) and/or 40 ppb O3 ...
