Beyond methodological nationalism in explanations of gender equality: The impact of EU policies on gender provisions in national collective agreements in Belgium (1957–2020) Hasselt University KU Leuven
Based on an analysis of gender equality provisions in national collective agreements, this article investigates the influence of European Union (EU) gender and macro-economic policy on gender equality outcomes in Belgium since the signature of the Treaty of Rome in 1957. We show that, over time, EU gender equality policies have led to the adoption of provisions promoting formal gender equality and the integration of women in the labour market. ...
Predictors of spiritual care provision for patients with dementia at the end of life as perceived by physicians Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
BACKGROUND: Spiritual caregiving is part of palliative care and may contribute to well being at the end of life. However, it is a neglected area in the care and treatment of patients with dementia. We aimed to examine predictors of the provision of spiritual end-of-life care in dementia as perceived by physicians coordinating the care.
METHODS: We used data of the Dutch End of Life in Dementia study (DEOLD; 2007-2011), in which data ...
Analysis of soft data for mass provision of stereoacuity testing through a serious game for health KU Leuven
© 2017 Association for Computing Machinery. Mass provision of healthcare through a digital medium can be greatly enhanced by the use of serious games. The accessibility and engagement provided by a serious game to the subject can significantly increase participation. The commercial games industry employs numerous techniques to analyse soft data collected from early users of an application to evolve the application itself and improve the ...
The role of roughage provision on the absorption and disposition of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol and its acetylated derivatives in calves: from field observations to toxicokinetics Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
A clinical case in Belgium demonstrated that feeding a feed concentrate containing considerable levels of deoxynivalenol (DON, 1.13 mg/kg feed) induced severe liver failure in 2- to 3-month-old beef calves. Symptoms disappeared by replacing the highly contaminated corn and by stimulating ruminal development via roughage administration. A multi-mycotoxin contamination was demonstrated in feed samples collected at 15 different veal farms in ...
Provision of metadata of European agricultural long-term experiments through BonaRes and EJP SOIL collaboration Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Agricultural Long-Term Experiments (LTEs) are crucial agricultural research infrastructures for monitoring the long term effects of management and environment on crop production and soil resources. We have compiled the meta-information of 616 LTEs from 30 different countries across Europe with a duration of typically 20 years, including clustered information of the European LTEs in different categories (management operations, land use, duration, ...
Biodiversity data provision and decision-making - addressing the challenges Meise Botanic Garden
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are measurements required for study, reporting, and management of biodiversity change. They are being developed to support consistency, from the collection to the reporting of biodiversity data at the national, regional and global scales. However, "EBV stakeholders" need to strike a balance between 'doing innovative research' and 'having positive impact' on biodiversity management decisions. This paper ...
Young people's acceptance of bioenergy and the influence of attitude strength on information provision Hasselt University University of Antwerp
This study investigated the effects of using a standardized PowerPoint lecture to provide young people with nuanced information about bioenergy. The study's aim was to understand the relationShip between knowledge and participants' perception of bioenergy, and the relationship of the latter to participants' attitude strength and intention to use and learn about bioenergy. Data were collected from 715 participants using a survey instrument that ...
