What to Diffuse in a Gender-Specific Store? The Effect of Male and Female Scents on Customer Value and Behavior Universiteit Hasselt
Sensory marketing can be an efficient way to involve consumers in the store environment. Diffusing a pleasant ambient scent that matches with the store setting is often used to create pleasant shopping experiences. The aim of this study is to extend scent marketing research: (1) by examining the effect of pleasant ambient scent on the different dimensions of customer value; and (2) by exploring whether product-scent incongruity can have a ...
Deciphering the biotic and climatic factors that influence floral scents Universiteit Antwerpen
Currently, a global analysis of the information available on the relative composition of the floral scents of a very diverse variety of plant species is missing. Such analysis may reveal general patterns on the distribution and dominance of the volatile compounds that form these mixtures, and may also allow measuring the effects of factors such as the phylogeny, pollination vectors, and climatic conditions on the floral scents of the species. To ...
La naturaleza como vÃctima del conflicto armado Universiteit Antwerpen
Este capÃtulo se desarrolla en torno al Caso 02 de la JEP, sobre los ataques contra la infraestructura del Oleoducto Trasandino en Nariño, en el suroccidente colombiano. Con él se busca abogar por el reconocimiento de la naturaleza como vÃctima del conflicto armado interno –desde un enfoque ecocéntrico– para la identificación y análisis de las afectaciones socioeconómicas y culturales en las comunidades y los daños al ambiente, las entidades no ...
Association of urinary and ambient black carbon, and other ambient air pollutants with risk of prediabetes and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The effects of exposure to black carbon (BC) on various diseases remains unclear, one reason being potential exposure misclassification following modelling of ambient air pollution levels. Urinary BC particles may be a more precise measure to analyze the health effects of BC. We aimed to assess the risk of prediabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in relation to urinary BC particles and ambient BC and to compare their associations in 5453 ...
Streetscape Territories KU Leuven
Etimologicamente, streetscapes si riferisce ad un sistema di strade e pertanto streetscape territories allude all’esistenza e importanza di sistemi territoriali in relazione alla strada. Esempi in questo senso possono essere un insieme di proprietà di cui sono messi in discussione i confini e le pertinenze da parte di una comunità di vicini; oppure una casa o un magazzino o un negozio che condivida un ambito porticato con lo spazio esterno; ...
Greater impact of extreme drought on photosynthesis of grasslands exposed to a warmer climate in spite of acclimation Universiteit Antwerpen
In view of the projected increase in the frequency of extreme events during this century, we investigated the impact of a drought extreme on leaf ecophysiological parameters and carbon isotope composition (ä13C) of grassland communities with species richness (S) of one, three or nine species. The communities, grown for 3 years at either ambient air temperatures (ambient Tair) or ambient Tair + 3°C (elevated Tair), were additionally subjected to ...
Community adaptation to temperature explains abrupt soil bacterial community shift along a geothermal gradient on Iceland Universiteit Antwerpen
Understanding how and why soil microbial communities respond to temperature changes is important for un-derstanding the drivers of microbial distribution and abundance. Studying soil microbe responses to warming is often made difficult by concurrent warming effects on soil and vegetation and by a limited number of warming levels preventing the detection of non-linear effects. A unique area in Iceland, where soil temperatures have recently ...
