Sports as a tool for social reintegration of prisoners: a social work perspective Ghent University
The reintegration of offenders is an important social problem, with an increased investment in programs to support offenders in the reintegration process. From the academic disciplines of social work and sports sociology, four different knowledge gaps concerning the reintegration of prisoners become apparent: 1) The lack of knowledge from an insider perspective, which means that knowledge on the perspective of offenders, an important element ...

Sabbatical Peter De Mey: New commentary Vatican II (Unitatis Redintegratio – Orientalium Ecclesiarum) KU Leuven
The main aim is to write the assigned parts of a new international commentary on the documents of Vatican II. It is an international collaboration that started in 2017 and aims to describe the reception history of Vat II in all continents and to comment on the individual documents within an intercontinental commentary team. I am the coordinator of the team for two documents: 'Unitatis Redintegratio' and 'Orientalium Ecclesiarum'. For each ...

Audiovisual Processing in the Third Dimension: How (Expected) Properties of 3D Stimuli Influence Audiovisual Integration Ghent University
In the field of multisensory processing and, in particular, audiovisual integration, there is one aspect that is clearly present in everyday life but is usually an absent factor in scientific studies: depth. The fact that we live in a 3D world and that therefore objects have properties related to their spatial location is a key difference between lab research and real everyday perception. Fortunately, technological advances (e.g., virtual ...
A fundamental understanding of latent thermal energy storage heat exchangers by decomposition and integration of energy fractions in order to obtain general methods for design and experimental characterization Ghent University
Energy storage is required for the mass implementation of renewable energy sources into our energy mix. Smart latent thermal energy storage (LTES) coupled to heat pumps has been identified by the European commission as a key enabling technology. Due to the high potential of LTES systems, a large amount of research has been performed on storage materials, heat transfer enhancement and implementation of LTES in specific applications. However, ...
Integration of Nurse Practitioners in healthCARE settings in Flanders (NP-Care): Nurse practitioner-sensitive outcomes for evaluation and unraveling implementation processes Ghent University
To respond to high care demands and burden on healthcare professional (HCP) teams in primary and hospital care, strengthened by the Covid-19 pandemic, care models involving nurse practitioners (NPs) who act as substitutes for doctors can be a solution. In Belgium, NP-led care is at early-stage. Although outcomes of NP-led care at patient-level have been widely studied, mainly in primary care settings, little is known about NP-sensitive ...
Smart integration of membrane technology and polymer chemistry as scalable access to novel groundbreaking macromolecular materials KU Leuven
The proposal aims at creating a new generic technology to obtain sequence-defined macromolecules by combining advantages of liquid phase synthesis (i.e. fast kinetics, improved yields and selectivities, improved heat and mass transfer, easier upscaling) with advantages of solid-phase synthesis (i.e. fast purification) to produce high-purity oligomers at multi-gram scale without the need for tedious and yield/scope-reducing chemical ...
