The overall objectives of the SI" are (i) to promote knowledge - at the level of both partners as weil as the wider academic and soeietal constituencies in which they operate - obout the legal dimensions of dellelopment, and (ii) to enhonce the effectiveness of deve!opment interventions through the use of law. This wiJl be done through joint initiatives (under the three classica I functions of a university: education, research and service ...

research into the development of the mirror neuron system in young children (with normal development) with an autism spectrum disorder and sibling (brothers / sisters of children with ASD) between the age of 18-30 months and 36-48 months Ghent University

Geert Crombez
Department of Experimental clinical and health psychology

Investigating the underlying neural mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has recently been influenced by the discovery of mirror neurons. These neurons, active during both observation and execution of actions, are thought to play a crucial role in imitation and other social-communicative skills that are often impaired in ASD. In the current electroencephalographic study, we investigated mu suppression, indicating neural mirroring in ...

Policy Supporting Point for Housing and Spatial Development: Spatial Development Ghent University

Georges Allaert
Department of Architecture and urban planning, Department of Civil engineering

The policy supporting point for housing and spatial development is one of the 13 authorised supporting points. AMRP is part of the survey team for the spatial development and is responsible for work packet 3: Spatial transformations caused by urbanisation. The aim is to develop a typology and methodology to study urban transformations in the open areas in Flanders.

Research and development project on the spatial planning issue in the Rupel region in the context of developments within Flanders Technology & Innovation University of Antwerp

Tom Coppens
Henry van de Velde, Transport and Regional Economics, Research Group for Urban Development
The purpose of this cooperation agreement is to examine the spatial planning issue in the Rupel region in the context of developments within Flanders Technology & Innovation. The Department of Culture, Youth and Media wants to gain insight into the spatial planning and associated creative possibilities in terms of mobility and economic development in the Rupel region and more specifically in Boom and Rumst. The potential of this area will be ...

Development of aquatic ectotherms in a changing environment:Temperature as a key driver of the developmental rate KU Leuven

Lendert Gelens
Laboratory of Dynamics in Biological Systems, Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity Conservation
Living organisms are continuously affected by their environment. Especially embryo - environment interactions are important as any disturbance during this period can echo into later stages of development. Changes in ambient temperature have the potential to strongly disrupt embryonic development. This is most pronounced in ectotherms as they regulate their body temperature by exchanging heat with their surroundings. Strikingly, although ...

Development and Growth Status of Children (6- 60 months of age) in Extreme Poverty in Jimma Town of Ethiopia: Effects of Developmental Stimulation. Hasselt University

Marita GRANITZER
Rehabilitation Research Center
Children living in a resource-limited context such as Ethiopia have developmental problems. It is not yet clear whether home-based developmental stimulation can help reduce the problems. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effects of play-oriented intervention integrated into basic services on the developmental performances of children living in extreme poverty. A randomized controlled trail design will be used. Eligible ...

Autumn meeting of the Belgian Society for Cell and Developmental Biology: Endoderm and endoderm derivatives in development and disease. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Ilse Rooman
Basic (bio-) Medical Sciences
Endoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the early embryo. During embryogenesis,
endoderm differentiates into the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and gives rise to thyroid,
lung, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas and intestine. Fundamental studies have identified
mechanisms that govern the differentiation of the endoderm and its derived organs. Knowledge of
developmental processes sheds light on the ...

Language diagnostics in multilingual children: study of a scientifically based protocol to differentiate typical bilingual development from a developmental language disorder KU Leuven

Inge Zink
Research Group Experimental Oto-rhino-laryngology

Flemish primary education has 20-25% multilingual children (Jaarboek Statistiek Vlaams onderwijs, 2019). Both ASHA (2004) and IALP (2011) emphasize that multilingual children require appropriated diagnostics. However, to date there is no scientifically based protocol for language diagnostics in this heterogeneous and complex population. Master's theses LAW showed that, among other things, spontaneous language analysis in both native language ...
