PISA 2015 - werkingsjaar 2014
In 2012 the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), for the first time in the history of large-scale assessments, included a new type of problems called U+201Cinteractive problemsU+201D. This article will analyze the problems. The research area behind it is the psychology of complex problem solving in a complex multi-factor environment which involves search, experimenting and ...
TRADO is a consortium of KU Leuven, Ghent University, VITO and Erasmus University Rotterdam. The research programme of TRADO focuses on different aspects of sustainability transitions that have been underdeveloped in the literature and that can support the Flemish GovernmentU+2019s transition approach.
The youth research platform (JOP) is an interdisciplinary and interuniversity partnership between the Department of Social Welfare Studies (UGent), the Leuvens Institute of Criminology (LINC) U+2013 research line Youth Criminology (K.U.Leuven) and the Tempus Omnia Revelat Research Group (TOR U+2013 Vrije Universiteit Brussel). This partnership was created in 2003 on the initiative of the Flemish Minister for Youth. The youth research platform ...
Students from the first master Pedagogy and Education coach at risk students from fifth and sixth grade of primary school regarding self-regulated learning via student tutoring during school hours. The project runs an entire semester. Goals for four groups of actors (students, master students, teachers, parents) are formulated. Students are prepared and supported by the course Coaching and counseling.
This project is innovative in different aspects. It explores novel experimental therapeutic approaches for BPD (naïve and modified amniotic fluid stem cell therapy) in an animal model that mimics more closely human lung development than rodents. The outcome parameters we will document, constitute the most comprehensive panel that has been performed for this disease by now. Functional testing in particular will provide appropriate and ...
In this project, we aim to use modern assessment techniques to study certain risk factors related to the development of pelvic floor prolapse in a clinical setting as well as in an experimental model. Pelvic floor prolapse is a bothersome condition when the vaginal wall or the uterus protrudes through the vaginal opening. It affects mainly women who were at least once pregnant and delivered vaginally. The project includes clinical part during ...
Anti-TNF therap is succesfully used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like arthritis, IBD and psoriasis. Some of the complications associated with anti-TNF therapy such as increased risk for infections and new onset autoimmune diseases may be prevented by specific TNFR1 inhibition. This allows functional TNFR2 signaling which may be beneficial for the correct functioning of the immune system.
This cross-health project contains four research pillars that have an urgent common need for high throughput automatization of cell-based assays.
Pillar 1 is related to mRNA-based vaccines and -therapies and mainly involves contract research (R&D) resulting from UGent fundamental research.
Pillar 2 focuses on a novel family of polymers (UGent patent pending) with excellent mRNA delivery capacities, whose valorization ...
