Changing what counts: how can citizen-generated and civil society data be used as an advocacy tool to change official data collection? Universiteit Gent
How community and healthcare provider perceptions, practices and experiences influence reporting, disclosure and data collection on stillbirth: findings of a qualitative study in Afghanistan Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Quality concerns exist with stillbirth data from low- and middle-income countries including under-reporting and misclassification which affect the reliability of burden estimates. This is particularly problematic for household survey data. Disclosure and reporting of stillbirths are affected by the socio-cultural context in which they occur and societal perceptions around pregnancy loss. In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand how ...
Answering Current Challenges of and Changes in Producing Official Time Use Statistics Using the Data Collection Platform MOTUS Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The modernization of the production of official statistics faces challenges related to technological developments, budget cuts, and growing privacy concerns. At the same time, there is a need for shareable and scalable platforms to support comparable data, leading to several online data collection strategies being rolled out. Time Use Surveys (TUS) are particularly affected by these challenges and needs as they (while producing rich data) ...
Health data collection methods and procedures across EU member states : findings from the InfAct Joint Action on health information Universiteit Gent
Background Health-related data are collected from a variety of sources for different purposes, including secondary use for population health monitoring (HM) and health system performance assessment (HSPA). Most of these data sources are not included in databases of international organizations (e.g., WHO, OECD, Eurostat), limiting their use for research activities and policy making. This study aims at identifying and describing collection ...
Practical problems before privacy concerns: How European energy community initiatives struggle with data collection Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Energy communities (ECs) are increasingly put forward as one of the solutions for making the European energy system greener and more resilient, through the local production and sharing of renewable energy. In order to design and operate an efficient EC, data on energy consumption and production is needed. This allows to determine the optimal market model and the necessary investments needed for renewable assets. Unfortunately, the acquisition of ...
Examining gender-linked vehicle emissions with a GPS-enabled data collection tool Universiteit Hasselt
This paper describes the development and application of an activity-based data collection tool for the assessment of gender-linked vehicle exhaust emissions. The developed methodology implies the collection of activity and travel data on a PDA (personal digital assistant) with built-in GPS receiver. By converting the GPS-based travel data into emissions, good estimates can be made of the exhausts produced by every vehicle trip in the travel ...
Data collection design for calibration of crop models using practical identifiability analysis Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
The collection of high-quality calibration data is essential for the estimation of parameter values and reliability of crop models. However, few tools are available to quantify the minimum number of observations needed for parameter estimation. We therefore here applied practical identifiability analysis, based on global sensitivity analysis, to design measurement campaigns on farmers’ fields. We applied the method for parameterization of the ...
Data collection Universiteit Gent
This chapter deals with data collection within the field of sign language research and focuses on the collection of sign language data for the purposes of linguistic U+2013 mainly grammatical U+2013 description. Various data collection techniques using both introspection and different types of elicitation materials are presented and it is shown how the selection of data can actually have an impact on the research results. As the use of corpora ...
