Shame and sustainability in fashion: A new integrated perspective on the role of shame in the industrial fashion system and in the formation of fashion’s communities of honor in the 21st century KU Leuven
Fashion revolves around shame. The evocation of time shame, the unpleasant feeling of being outmoded, is central to fashion. This project analyzes time shame as the basis of the emotional regimes of today's industrial fashion system by studying how this emotion aids the fashion industry in creating boundaries between industry and consumers, and between groups of consumers. The 21st century witnessed the rise of ‘fashion's honor communities’ ...
Perturbing tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) equilibrium using GPNMB/CD206 nanobodies and nanoparticles in breast cancer. Ghent University
Nanobodies are highly attractive to promote better active nanocarrier targeting, while M2-TAMs (tumor-associated macrophages) dominate the tumor microenvironment (TME) resulting in a worse treatment of breast cancer. Hence, there is a clear need to develop novel strategies to perturb TAM equilibrium. This project will use GPNMB/CD206-targeted nanobodies and nanoparticles to reveal the specific pathways for M2-TAMs re-education.
Theology, Law, and Ethics in Late Medieval Ḥanbalīsm: The Intellectual Legacy of Shams al-Dīn Ibn Mufliḥ (d. 763/1362) KU Leuven
The late-Ḥanbalī polymath Ibn Mufliḥ (d. 763/1362) stands as a unique figure within the Ḥanbalī school.

His work in legal theory would further determine the school's convention and approach within the science. Alongside these works, his seminal study of ethics would serve as a ...

Predicting impending beta cell loss and dysglycemia in asymptomatic type 1 diabetes - Validation of minimally invasive markers against the hyperglycemic clamp test. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
the gold standard hyperglycemic clamp test (HCT) in asymptomatic
type 1 diabetes (T1D) in relation to known determinants of disease
progression. This may help to unravel the heterogeneous nature of
pre-T1D. The majority of beta cell loss is hypothesized to occur within
2 years prior to diagnosis. Simultaneously, promising minimally

The house's honour (ghar kī 'izzat): a study of shame in north Indian children and women's periodical and didactic literature (1870s-1940s) Ghent University
A crucial step towards understanding and explaining better socio-cultural norms and historical practices and thus facilitating intercultural dialogue is the consideration of affects. Focusing on a critical moment of the history of India, which saw the refashioning of social norms of behaviour, this project explores the most social emotion, shame, and its expressions in Hindi and Urdu-language literature for women and children to shed light ...
