Screening as a lever for educational quality: state of affairs and embedding in a system-wide quality monitoring system KU Leuven
This research project provides insight into the effects of the Inspection 2.0 screening approach in Flemish compulsory education and in which (f)actors (inspection, school, user and context) play a role in explaining the effects of inspections in schools. The research also describes how competent Flemish principals and teachers are in the use of the so-called OK- framework (Frame of reference for Educational Quality) and how variation in this ...
AIR QUALITY: Integration of existing approaches toward (bio)surveillance in relation with indoor and outdoor air quality. KU Leuven
Development of a Technology to Ensure Sufficient Quantity and Quality of Rainwater for Rural Households KU Leuven
The availability of safe drinking water is an increasing major concern for the international community, especially in light of the changing climate. Climate change presents major uncertainties in future safe water access especially in rural communities that are already faced with water insecurity. For developing countries like Uganda, achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) will require a paradigm shift from centralized public ...
Impaired bone quality & bone quantity and oral implants: an evaluation of treatment strategies. KU Leuven
General Introduction
Before predictable and successful dental implants became available, patients who lost more than a few natural teeth often found it impossible to regain full, comfortable masticatory function and facial esthetics. Dental prostheses, especially the removable designs, were far from ideal replacements for natural teeth. The introduction of oral implants, functioning as artificial tooth roots, widened the treatment ...
CLINICAL VALIDATION OF CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING FOR OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF JAW BONE QUALITY AND QUANTITY KU Leuven
Radiological bone evaluation has been considered an essential element during oral and maxillofacial pre-surgical planning and follow-up. Clinical evaluation of bone quality is to a large extent still based on linear measurements and subjective visual interpretation of two-dimensional (2D) images of bone structure, which are not reproducible and lead to interpretation errors . With the development of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) ...
Management of water quality and quantity in lakes in Northern Ecuador using a catchment-based approach. KU Leuven
Could You Repeat That, Please? Increasing The Quality And Replicability Of Physiological Virtual Reality Research Through A Comprehensive Experimental Framework Ghent University
Virtual reality (VR) experiments are increasingly employed because of their internal and external validity compared to real-world observation and laboratory experiments. Recently, the attention of human behavioural research in VR has focused on the use of psychophysiological signals, such as electroencephalography (EEG) or electrocardiography (ECG). However, the replicability of these research findings is hardly existent due to inconsistent ...
The quantity and quality of telecommuting: Explaining the consequences for employees and teams based on self-determination theory KU Leuven
To explain the mixed findings of telecommuting prevailing in the literature, the current project aims to gain a fuller and fine-grained understanding of telecommuting in situ. It specifically aims to study the implications of the quantity (how much) and quality (the nature of) of telecommuting (WHAT?) by studying the processes through which (WHY?) and conditions upon which (WHEN?) telecommuting yields positive versus negative consequences at ...
