Development of a trajectory to support sustainable choices at farm level Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Agriculture is more and more faced with extreme challenges such as climate change, scarcity of natural resources andspecific demands from society. Both on farm and agricultural sector level, stakeholders express their need to evolvetowards more sustainable farming practices to guarantee their future. To face these challenges many initiatives toidentify, measure, evaluate and communicate sustainable development arise. The use of sustainability ...
Traffic safety perception and its potential impact on travel demand choices Universiteit Hasselt
In this paper we aim at investigating the potential influences of traffic safety concern and knowledge on travel demand choices and in particular travel mode choice. To this end, a survey is developed and a questionnaire is distributed to collect required information. The survey consists of several sections. First sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics of individuals are collected. Respondents are then asked to state their current ...
Measuring physical activity with activity monitors in patients with heart failure Universiteit Antwerpen
The aims of this paper were to provide an overview of available activity monitors used in research in patients with heart failure and to identify the key criteria in the selection of the most appropriate activity monitor for collecting, reporting, and analysing physical activity in heart failure research. This study was conducted in three parts. First, the literature was systematically reviewed to identify physical activity concepts and activity ...
Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in daily life: A comparative analysis of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and the SenseWear armband Universiteit Hasselt
Reduction of sedentary time and an increase in physical activity offer potential to improve public health. However, quantifying physical activity behaviour under real world conditions is a major challenge and no standard of good practice is available. Our aim was to compare the results of physical activity and sedentary behaviour obtained with a self-reported instrument (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)) and a wearable sensor ...
Exploring the Transferability of FEATHERS – An Activity Based Travel Demand Model – For Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Universiteit Hasselt
This paper presents descriptive analyses to investigate the transferability of FEATHERS, an activity-based travel demand model developed for Flanders (Belgium), to a region in a developed country to Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), a metropolitan area of a developing country, using personal and household travel survey data. The transferability was tested by using indicators which represent individuals' activity and travel behaviors. The results ...
Exploring the Spatial Transferability of FEATHERS – An Activity Based Travel Demand Model – For Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Universiteit Hasselt
This paper presents descriptive analyses to investigate the transferability of FEATHERS, an activity-based travel demand model developed for Flanders (Belgium), a region in a developed country to Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), a metropolitan area of a developing country using personal and household travel survey data. The transferability was tested by using indicators which represent individuals' activity and travel behaviors. The results confirm ...
Activity coefficients for liquid organic reactions : towards a better understanding of true kinetics with the synthesis of jasmin aldehyde as showcase Universiteit Gent
The aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and heptanal is taken as an example of reversible liquid phase organic reactions to show that inclusion of activity coefficients reveal distinct differences in conversion and product distribution when different solvents methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, or n-butanol are used. The purpose of this work is to show a pronounced solvent effect for a given set of identical kinetic parameters, i.e., the same liquid ...
A comparative analysis of different automated von Willebrand factor glycoprotein Ib-binding activity assays in well typed von Willebrand disease patients Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: von Willebrand disease (VWD) is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by quantitative (type 1 and 3) or qualitative (type 2) von Willebrand factor (VWF) defect. VWD diagnosis and classification require numerous laboratory tests. VWF: glycoprotein Ib (GPIb)-binding activity assays are used to distinguish type 1 from type 2 VWD. Objectives: Three different automated VWF:GPIb-binding activity assays were compared. Patients and methods: ...
Park Characteristics Preferred for Adolescent Park Visitation and Physical Activity : a Choice-based Conjoint Analysis Using Manipulated Photographs Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
Adolescents should engage in 60 min of physical activity daily in order to obtain health benefits. Creating environments supportive for physical activity, could be a valuable strategy to increase physical activity at the population level. The purpose of this study was to understand the relative importance of park characteristics for park visitation and park-based physical activity among adolescents, using manipulated photographs of parks. ...
