Contribution of mortality and disability to the secular trend in health inequality at the turn of century in Belgium Universiteit Gent
Background: There is evidence that health inequalities by socio-economic status have persisted. We examined whether educational differences in Disability-Free Life Expectancy (DFLE) and Disability Life Expectancy (DLE) at age 25 has narrowed or widened between the 1990s and 2000s in Belgium. The contribution of mortality and disability prevalence to the secular trend is investigated. Methods: We used disability data from the 1997 and 2004 ...
Inequality and the city in the Low Countries (1200-2020) Universiteit Antwerpen
Social inequality is one of the most pressing global challenges at the start of the 21st century. Meanwhile, across the globe at least half of the world’s population lives in urban agglomerations, and urbanisation is still expanding. This book engages with the complex interplay between urbanisation and inequality. In doing so it concentrates on the Low Countries, one of the oldest and most urbanised societies of Europe. It questions whether the ...
Hardy-Littlewood inequality and Lp-Lq Fourier multipliers on compact hypergroups Universiteit Gent
This paper deals with the inequalities comparing the norm of a function on a compact hypergroup and the norm of its Fourier coefficients. We prove the classical Paley inequality in the setting of compact hypergroups which further gives the Hardy-Littlewood and Hausdorff-Young-Paley inequalities in the noncommutative context. We establish Hormander's L-p- L-q Fourier multiplier theorem on compact hypergroups for 1 < p <= 2 <= q < ...
Gender inequality, homophobia and violence Universiteit Antwerpen
This research studies how attitudes to gender (in)equality, heteronormativity and various types of violence are related to each other. Specific attention is given to the relations between patriarchal attitudes and violent conflict, next to the more often studied relations between patriarchy and violence against women and gay men. It also investigates possibilities to change patriarchal attitudes towards gender, heteronormativity and violence, ...
Fairness and inequality in power system reliability : summarizing indices Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Association of Alcohol Control Policies with Adolescent Alcohol Consumption and with Social Inequality in Adolescent Alcohol Consumption : A Multilevel Study in 33 Countries and Regions Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
Background Previous research found inconsistent associations between alcohol control policies and socioeconomic inequality with adolescent drinking outcomes. This study expands the focus beyond individual associations to examine whether a combination of policies is related to socioeconomic inequality in adolescent drinking outcomes and whether this relationship varies across survey years. Methods Multilevel modelling of 4 waves of repeat ...
'Looking at journalism through rose-tinted glasses' : an explorative study of gender inequality in newsrooms and job satisfaction of female journalists Universiteit Gent
In recent years, the numerical inequality between male and female journalists is increasingly eliminated. However, the field of journalism remains horizontally and vertically divided along gender lines. Female journalists are inhibited from climbing the career ladder because they are confronted with a glass ceiling or leave the profession to take care of their children. The over-representation of female journalists in soft news reporting ...
A Lyapunov-type inequality for a fractional boundary value problem with Caputo-Fabrizio derivative Universiteit Gent
Meritocracy a myth? A multilevel perspective of how social inequality accumulates through work Universiteit Antwerpen
Work plays a crucial role in rising social inequalities, which refer to unequal opportunities and rewards for different social groups. Whereas the conventional view of workplaces as meritocracies suggests that work is a conduit for social equality, we unveil the ways in which workplaces contribute to the accumulation of social inequality. In our cumulative social inequality in workplaces (CSI-W) model, we outline how initial differences in ...
