Advancing the state of patients rights’ enforcement in the public and private health care facilities in South India Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

NS Prashanth, Anja Krumeich, Bart Criel
Internationaal Gezondheidsbeleid, Gezondheidsbeleid
Patients rights’ are “those rights that are attributed to a person seeking health care”. Some of the levers to enforce patient rights are health ombudsman, litigation, patient grievance redressal systems, media and public protests. Patients rights’ are important because it has implications for the quality of health care. An effective and a functional patient grievance redressal system acts as a key accountability tool but can also galvanize ...

Functional anatomy and biomechanics of brachiating gibbons (Hylobatidae): an example of locomotion in complex environments. Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen

Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Recent literature on the biomechanics of arboreal locomotion revealed that gibbons are able to brachiate with very low mechanical costs. They do this by making pendular movements, continually exchanging potential and kinetic energy to optimally conserve energy. In addition, they must minimise their collisional energy losses by ensuring that the passage between two movements happens smoothly without abrupt changes in the path of the body centre ...

Primary Health Care improvement in Benin: which model(s) of practice work for First-Line Medical Doctors? Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Hiv/soa-kliniek, Gezondheidsbeleid
In sub-Saharan Africa, both in urban and rural areas, a growing number of doctors is operating at the level of the first-line health care facilities, the latter being traditionally under the responsibility of nurse-practitioners. This appears to be also the case in Benin. Literature suggests that First-Line Medical Doctors (FLMDs) have a potential to strengthen Primary Health Care (PHC). Today, however, in most African countries, a coherent and ...

Microstructure-sensitive multiaxial modelling of fatigue damage initiation and evolution KU Leuven

Reza Hojjati Talemi
Materialentechnologie, Technologiecampussen Gent en Aalst

There is a growing interest in predicting of various mechanical failure modes of infrastructures. The importance of managing ageing infrastructures has gained public’s interest in light of catastrophic incidents. Fatigue phenomenon is one of the complex mechanical failure mode, which occurs in combination of different influential parameters. The application of stress-based criteria for high cycle fatigue or plastic strain-based criteria for ...

Een pedagogisch project. Publieksliteratuur uit Vlaanderen tijdens het interbellum KU Leuven

Dirk De Geest
Onderzoeksgroep Nederlandse Literatuur, Leuven

Het interbellum is een tijdvak waarin de politieke en maatschappelijke emancipatie van de massa (en van specifieke groepen in de massa, zoals arbeiders, landbouwers en vrouwen) door tal van historische factoren in een stroomversnelling terechtkomt. Diverse culturele actoren (van individuele auteurs tot uitgeverijen) in Vlaanderen grijpen die maatschappelijke ontwikkeling aan om het grote publiek of geledingen binnen dat grote publiek in te ...
