A goal-oriented requirements engineering method for business processes Ghent University
Central to the development of BPMS technology was the promotion of a new language, Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN). The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a common language for describing process behaviour, shareable by business and IT, which includes business users, business analysts, and technical developers. What seems to be missing in the way that business users are supposed to use BPMN, is an explicit consideration of the ...

Interdisciplinary synergies : opening up new perspectives for data-driven research of the Southern Dutch Dialects Ghent University
The Database of the Southern Dutch Dialects (DSDD) aims to aggregate and standardise three existing comprehensive lexicographic dialect databases of the Flemish, Brabantic and Limburgian dialects into one integrated dataset (Van Keymeulen, et al., 2019; Van Hout, et al., 2018, De Vriend, et al., 2006). In 2016, the Research Foundation Flanders funded a medium-scale research infrastructure project, the Database of Southern Dutch Dialects ...
Profiling a MALL app for English oral practice: a case study Ghent University
The field of MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) is in its golden era. Nowadays, there are more than 80,000 apps on the market, around 30,000 of which are devoted to language learning, especially English. Most of them have been developed outside the academic world. [Calle-Martínez, 13] and [Martín Monje, 14] suggest that, although several studies assess and propose rubrics to analyse the technical, pedagogical and cognitive validity of ...
L’espace linguistique et la vie du langage : Jules Gilliéron et l’ouverture géo-biologique de la géographie linguistique KU Leuven
In the history of linguistic geography the work of Jules Gilliéron (1854-1926) constitutes a major landmark. The Atlas linguistique de la France, the joint realization of Gilliéron and his collaborator Edmond Edmont, and the various monograph-sized studies based on the ALF were responsible for a number of radical theoretical and methodological innovations in the field: the practice of linguistic geography as a geological and biological study of ...
Exploring sex differences in the adult zebra finch brain University of Antwerp
Zebra finches are an excellent model to study the process of vocal learning, a complex socially-learned tool of communication that forms the basis of spoken human language. So far, structural investigation of the zebra finch brain has been performed ex vivo using invasive methods such as histology. These methods are highly specific, however, they strongly interfere with performing whole-brain analyses and exclude longitudinal studies aimed at ...
Recognition and home care of low birth weight neonates: a qualitative study of knowledge, beliefs and practices of mothers in Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, Uganda Institute of Tropical Medicine Ghent University
BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality has remained persistently high worldwide. In Uganda, neonatal deaths account for 50% of all infant deaths. Low birth weight is associated with a higher risk of death during the neonatal period. Failure to recognize low birth weight and inappropriate home care practices increase the risk of morbidity and mortality in this high risk group. This study explored mothers' knowledge, beliefs and practices in ...
Module superimposition: a composition technique for rule-based model transformation languages Vrije Universiteit Brussel
As the application of model transformation becomes increasingly commonplace, the focus is shifting from model transformation languages to the model transformations themselves. The properties of model transformations, such as scalability, maintainability and reusability, have become important. Composition of model transformations allows for the creation of smaller, maintainable and reusable transformation definitions that together perform a ...
Between Dogma and Data: Wilhelm Schmidt and the Afterlives of 19th-Century Ethnolinguistics KU Leuven
Father Wilhelm Schmidt SVD (1868-1954) was one of the great linguistic and ethnological information hoarders of the early 20th century. Through the missionary Society of the Divine Word, he coordinated an army of trained fieldworkers who supplied him with information for his twelve-volume synthesis of world religions, his atlas of the world’s languages, and the journal Anthropos. Schmidt saw himself as practicing Catholic modern science, based ...
