Risky motorcycle riding behaviour among young riders in Manipal, India Universiteit Hasselt
Background: Motorcycles are one of the most commonly used transportation modes in low and middle-income countries. In India, motorized two-wheelers comprise 70% of the total vehicle population, and motorcycle users are considered the most vulnerable road users. It is essential to understand the risky riding behaviour and associated factors among the motorcyclists to develop evidence-based traffic safety programs targeting motorcycle riders. The ...
Synchronisation of apical constriction and cell cycle progression is a conserved behaviour of pseudostratified neuroepithelia informed by their tissue geometry KU Leuven
Neuroepithelial cells balance tissue growth requirement with the morphogenetic imperative of closing the neural tube. They apically constrict to generate mechanical forces which elevate the neural folds, but are thought to apically dilate during mitosis. However, we previously reported that mitotic neuroepithelial cells in the mouse posterior neuropore have smaller apical surfaces than non-mitotic cells. Here, we document progressive apical ...

Broiler chicken behavior and activity are affected by novel flooring treatments Universiteit Gent Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Broiler chickens should be able to express highly motivated behaviors, such as foraging and dustbathing. Health status and housing conditions impact the expression of these behaviors. This study compared the impact of novel flooring treatments on broiler chicken behavioral repertoire. We found that broilers' behavior was impacted by novel flooring treatments at 5 and 6 weeks of age. Differences were found in prevalences of drinking, foraging, ...
Social influence and reduction of animal protein consumption among young adults: Insights from a socio-psychological model Universiteit Hasselt
Studying the drivers of animal protein consumption (APC), beyond just meat consumption, is of great importance as reducing APC has a high potential to mitigate climate change and other environmental issues. One known determinant of food behavior is the social environment. However, in pro-environmental literature, social contacts' influence on meat consumption is often limited to normative influence (social norms). Moreover, when social influence ...
Reporting and interpreting non-significant results in animal cognition research Universiteit Gent
How statistically non-significant results are reported and interpreted following null hypothesis significance testing is often criticized. This issue is important for animal cognition research because studies in the field are often underpowered to detect theoretically meaningful effect sizes, i.e., often produce non-significant p-values even when the null hypothesis is incorrect. Thus, we manually extracted and classified how researchers report ...
