Evaluating the extent to which social researchers apply feminist and empowerment frameworks in photovoice studies with female participants: a literature review KU Leuven
In the last decades, we have witnessed a growing interest for the use of photovoice, also referred to as participatory photography, as a visual research method, particularly in social sciences. In this systematic review of the literature we seek to explore how the methodology has been applied in studies focusing on the target group women and critically evaluate the potential of photovoice to ‘give’ voice to and empower female participants. ...

Vitamin D analogs in combination with palbociclib as treatment for breast cancer - preclinical evaluation and pathway analysis - KU Leuven
1,25(OH)2D3, the biological active form of vitamin D3, is an important regulator of calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body. By binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and subsequent heterodimerization with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), this complex will migrate to the nucleus and bind to vitamin D responsive elements (VDREs) in regulatory regions of target genes to regulate gene transcription. Next to calcium and phosphate homeostasis, ...
Trends in het Vlaams topsportklimaat. Evaluatie volgens topsporters, trainers en topsportcoördinatoren: 2-meting (2003-2007-2011))[Trends in the elite sport climate in Flanders. Evaluation according to elite athletes, coaches and high performance director Vrije Universiteit Brussel
1. Samenvatting
Succes: Output
1. De internationale concurrentie neemt toe, in die mate dat topsportsucces afhangt van wat andere landen doen, meer nog dan van wat we zelf beter doen ten opzichte van het verleden
2. Topsport is een markt die geregeerd wordt volgens de economische principes van vraag en aanbod: de prijs van het succes stijgt omdat de vraag groter is dan het aanbod.

Evaluation of complex sexual and reproductive health educational interventions targeting young people in low- and middle-income countries Ghent University
Wereldwijd is de aandacht voor de gezondheid van jongeren toegenomen, in het bijzonder voor hun seksuele en reproductieve gezondheid (SRG). Jongeren in lage- en midden-inkomslanden (LMIC's) dragen de grootste last van hiv, tienerzwangerschappen, kind huwelijken en gedwongen huwelijken en andere relevante problemen. Het verbeteren van de SRG-resultaten en -diensten onder jongeren in LMIC's is van cruciaal belang voor de maatschappelijke ...
Multiparameter evaluation of acrylamide HEMA alternative monomers in 2-step adhesives KU Leuven
Objective As frequently added to adhesives, the mono-functional monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) acts as co-solvent and improves surface wetting. Nevertheless, HEMA promotes watersorption and hydrolysis at adhesive interfaces, affecting bond durability to dentin. This study investigated if two acrylamide co-monomer alternatives could replace HEMA in experimental adhesive-resin formulations as part of 3/2-step universal adhesives ...
Sustainability evaluation of biodiesel from Jatropha curcas L. - A life cycle oriented study KU Leuven
Wereldwijd krijgen vloeibare biobrandstoffen voor transport groeiende aandacht om broeikasgasuitstoot te verkleinen en om de afhankelijkheid van de slinkende voorraad fossiele brandstoffen te verkleinen. Samen met de aandacht groeit ook de kritiek. Areaalexpansie van biobrandstofgewassen is in verschillende gevallen verantwoordelijk voor directe en indirecte conflicten met voedselproductie, biodiversiteit, natuurlijke koolstofopslag, en andere ...
A comparative 30-day outcome analysis of inpatient evaluation vs outpatient testing in patients presenting with chest pain in the high-sensitivity troponin era. A propensity score matched case-controlretrospective study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: The best disposition of chest pain patients who rule out for myocardial infarction (MI) but have non-low clinical risk scores in the high-sensitivity troponin era is not well studied. HYPOTHESIS: In carefully selected patients who rule out for MI, and have a high-sensitivity troponin T ≤ 50 ng/L with an absolute increase less than 5 ng/L on repeat measurements, early emergency room (ER) discharge might be equivalent to inpatient ...
Safety evaluation of the food enzyme endo-1,4-β-xylanase from the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain NZYM-ER. Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The food enzyme endo-1,4-β-xylanase (4-β-d-xylan xylanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.8) is produced with the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain NZYM-ER by Novozymes A/S. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is considered free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. The food enzyme is intended to be used in brewing processes, distilled alcohol production, grain treatment for the ...
