Predicting and explaining the occurrence of non-consensual dissemination of sexts: risk and protective factors among adolescents and emerging adults. KU Leuven
Lately, there has been increasing societal and scientific attention to
sexting and the criminal behaviour of non-consensual dissemination
of sexts (NCDS) among adolescents and emerging adults. Yet, little
empirical research has been executed to predict and explain this
recent offence. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining which
factors contribute to the (non-)occurrence of NCDS. In other words,
this ...

Risicover: Adequate control of soilborn diseases in strawberries pcfruit npo
Current problems:
For a good cultivation of strawberries a healthy, balanced soil and pathogen free planting material is needed. Due to the shortage of new, uncultivated soils, the growers are forced to plant year after year strawberries on the same soil. As such problems with soil pathogens, like fungi, bacteria and nematodes arise. One technique to control problems with soil pathogens is to perform a soil fumigation. However, ...
Risicover: Adequate control of soil diseases in the cultivation of the strawberry. KU Leuven
The general aim of the process is to make the cultivation of strawberry more profitable by limiting large losses caused by soil pathogens by applying a suitable control strategy based on a reliable risk assessment of plant material, soil and substrate.
Reduction of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) contamination in cattle by decontamination of colostrum. Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Can we develop a method to avoid infecting calves with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) via contaminated milk colostrum? This MAP-free colostrum must still contain the vital immunoglobins essential for the calf’s health. This technique must also be easily applied by the dairy farmer. This is achievable with a methodology generating MAP-free milk which can be ...
