Detection of infectious agents in equine pregnancy loss, stillbirth and neonatal death = Detectie van infectieuze agentia bij abortus, doodgeboorte en neonatale sterfte bij het paard Universiteit Gent
Equine abortion, stillbirth and neonatal death cause major economic losses to the equine in-dustry worldwide. Both non-infectious and a wide range of infectious causes have been described. However, the relative contribution of pathogens to equine abortion, stillbirth and neonatal death is poorly documented, since available studies involve only a limited number of pathogens. There-fore, the objectives of the present retrospective monitoring study ...
Cities and Plural Understandings of Human Rights: Agents, Actors, Arenas Universiteit Antwerpen
This introduction sets out key aspects of the relationship between human rights and legal pluralism in cities and towns. Over the years, such localities have come to engage with human rights in many ways that contribute to the pluralization of understandings of human rights. For one, cities and towns are agents, or norm entrepreneurs rather than the passive receivers of human rights as international law and politics. In addition, local ...
Offender agency in a state-centred sentencing process: in search of an agentic sentencing model KU Leuven
Punishment is a grave intrusion into individual liberty, yet in most liberal criminal justice systems, including England and Wales, those punished are rarely directly engaged in determining their sentence.

Drawing on existing theories of punishment, the article argues that there may be ...
Children and the internet in the news: agency, voices and agendas Vrije Universiteit Brussel

On the ...
Did the Blue Planet set the agenda for plastic pollution? An explorative study on the influence of a documentary on the public, media and political agendas Universiteit Antwerpen
Over the last two decades documentaries have been receiving more recognition as a way of influencing public perception and generating discourse about societal problems. Previous studies within the field of communication research have given some attention to the agenda-setting effects of environmental documentaries but have overlooked the issue of plastic pollution. This study addresses this gap in the literature by exploring whether The BBC ...
Spontaneous theory of mind is reduced for nonhuman-like agents as compared to human-like agents Universiteit Gent
Multiresidue analysis of anabolic agents in muscle tissues and urines of cattle by GC-MS Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The illegal use of anabolic steroids in livestock breeding has taken enormous proportions the last few decades. To protect the consumer against possible harmful effects due to the consumption of contaminated meat or meat products, a multiresidue analysis of anabolic steroids has been developed for muscle tissues and urine. The pretreatment of the meat and urine samples consists of an enzymatic digestion, liquid or solid-phase extraction, and ...
