Bioaccumulation of PCBs from microplastics in Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus): an experimental study Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Plastic debris acts as a sorbent phase for hydrophobic organic compounds like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Chemical partitioning models predict that the ingestion of microplastics with adsorbed chemicals in the field will tend not to result in significant net desorption of the chemical to the organism's tissues. This is expected due to the often limited differences in fugacity of the chemical between the indigestible plastic materials and ...
The role of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium availability in soil fungal exploration of mineral nutrient sources in Norway spruce forests Universiteit Hasselt
We investigated fungal growth and community composition in buried meshbags, amended with apatite, biotite or hornblende, in Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests of varying nutrient status. Norway spruce needles and soil collected from forests overlying serpentinite had low levels of potassium and phosphorus, those from granite had low levels of magnesium, whereas those from amphibolite had comparably high levels of these nutrients. We assayed the ...
Board structures and board behaviour: a cross-country comparison of privately held SMEs in Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway Universiteit Hasselt
In this study, we examine and compare formal board structures and actual board behaviour in privately held SMEs. We integrate and build on ideas from institutional theory and the behavioural theory of the firm to propose that privately held firms have specific governance needs that 'decouple' formal board structures from actual board behaviour. Following this logic, we expect board structures to vary across countries while board behaviour does ...
Changes in work tasks and organization of general practice in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic : results from a comparative international study Universiteit Gent
BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic led to huge and rapid changes in general practice in Norway as in the rest of Europe. This paper aims to explore to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic changed the work tasks and organization of Norwegian general practice.Material and methodWe analysed data from the Norwegian part of the international, cross-sectional PRICOV-19 study, collecting data from general practice via an online self-reported questionnaire. ...
Environmental constraints on Holocene cold-water coral reef growth off Norway : insights from a multiproxy approach Universiteit Gent
Comparative in silico analysis of SSRs in coding regions of high confidence predicted genes in Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) Universiteit Gent
Water mass characteristics and sill dynamics in a subpolar cold-water coral reef setting at Stjernsund, northern Norway Universiteit Gent
Prevalence and Predictors of Sexual Difficulties and Associated Distress Among Partnered, Sexually Active Older Women in Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and Portugal KU Leuven
There has been little comparative, cross-cultural research on sexual difficulties and associated distress, and factors associated with these, among older women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate prevalence rates of sexual difficulties, distress related to these difficulties, and associated sociodemographic, relational, and health factors, among sexually active older women (60-75 years) in committed relationships across four ...
Indexing Locality: Contemporary Urban Vernaculars in Belgium and Norway KU Leuven
© Cambridge University Press 2015. During recent years, much linguistic research has been done on the emergence of what Rampton (2011a; Chapter 2, this volume) calls ‘contemporary urban vernaculars’. Although the term in itself is not so transparent as to exactly what kind of linguistic practice it describes, it gives a thorough picture of what characterizes urban vernaculars and the contexts in which they emerge. An important criterion in ...
