How and when does the European Union impact on its member states’ development cooperation? A comparative analysis of migration-development, security-development and private sector development in four EU member states Ghent University
The project addresses the question ‘how and when does the EU have an impact on its member states’ development cooperation’. While the emergent literature in this domain does not find evidence in support of an ‘EU factor’, we challenge this claim. The point of departure is that existing studies fall short in several ways. Putting aside methodological shortcomings, studies have only focused on the ‘policy’, ignoring the ‘politics’ and ...

The European landscape of contemporary stepfamily life: a comparative study on the cultural and structural context of stepfamily formation, processes and outcomes. KU Leuven
The recurrent finding that children in stepfamilies do not perform better than children in single-parent families on most wellbeing indicators raises questions about why children do not benefit from the additional parental figure in stepfamilies. While often explanations are sought in the lack of a normative framework for these relationships, cross-national studies on stepfamily dynamics are scarce. Typically, studies make conclusions on the ...

Comparative connectivity of demersal fish from the Southern Ocean. KU Leuven
The marine ecosystem of the Southern Ocean is to a large extent influenced by the dynamics of the physical environment and the life cycle of polar fishes is intimately linked to it. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current and prolonged pelagic larval duration are connecting populations in the Southern Ocean. Both environmental change and anthropogenic impact on the other hand, vary considerably among areas around Antarctica. Therefore, evaluating ...

Comparative studies of whole-genome Ghent University
The present project aims to perform comparative studies of whole-genome sequences for model groups of bacteria representing different phylogenetic lineages, in order to design widely applicable sets of genes and primers which can be used to develop an MLSA-based apporach for the delineation of species. The ultimate aim is to use the lessons learnt from these model groups to design a generic appraoch for a general MLSA-based species ...

The place of university lecturing: a comparative analysis of the practice and experience of lecturing in physical and digital spaces KU Leuven
‟Lecturing‟ is a pedagogic practice that still seems to be at the heart of the university in various parts of the world. Today, it concerns physical as well as digital lectures. However, an educational understanding of the event of lecturing and the (dis)similarities between physical and digital lecturing is missing, and hence the reason why holding to the practice of lecturing, and even more its educational meaning, is unclear. Given the ...
