Women and men in a changing world. Tracing and eliminating the roots of gender disadvantages KU Leuven
Parental reflective functioning and theory of mind acquisition: A developmental perspective KU Leuven
This study investigated theory of mind (ToM) development in 83 children aged 3-5 years and its associations with parental reflective functioning (PRF), using a multidimensional and developmental approach. Results showed that ToM dimensions (i.e., affective, belief-desire, and cognitive) gradually increased with age. All dimensions of PRF (i.e., prementalizing modes, certainty about mental states, and interest and curiosity in mental states) were ...
De l’archaïsme à l’innovation verbale : retraduire et réinterpréter la Vie d’Apollonios de Tyane de Philostrate Universiteit Gent
Working on a translation of Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius of Tyana, written in Greek in the 3rd century AD, we encounter two problems, which are both aesthetic and socio-cultural. First, this text belongs to the Atticist movement theorized by rhetors and lexicographers in the previous century: instead of using the Greek language widely spoken in its time (the koine), its vocabulary is borrowed from the orators and authors of the 5th-4th ...
Exploring the Role of Creativity in Software Engineering Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
In order to solve today's complex problems in the world of software development, technical knowledge is no longer enough. Previous studies investigating and identifying nontechnical skills of software engineers show that creative skills also play an important role in tackling difficult problems. However, creativity is typically a very vague concept to which everyone gives their own interpretation. Also, there is little research that focuses ...
Update on pulmonary ossifications in the differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules Universiteit Antwerpen
Pulmonary ossifications have often been regarded as rare, post-mortem findings without any clinical significance. We have investigated the occurrence of pulmonary ossifications in patients undergoing thoracic procedures, and how this may affect the differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules. In addition, we have performed a literature search on the occurrence and possible pathogenesis of these ossifications. From January 2008 until ...
Characteristics and Problems of the Gifted Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Giftedness, the potential for exceptional achievement, is characterized by high intelligence and creativity. Gifted people exhibit a complex of cognitive, perceptual, emotional, motivational and social traits. Extending neurophysiological hypotheses about the general intelligence (g) factor, a construct is proposed to explain these traits: neural propagation depth. The hypothesis is that in more intelligent brains, activation propagates farther, ...
Studying on stimulants Universiteit Antwerpen
The misuse of prescription stimulants, such as Ritalin®, has received increasing attention both in the public and the academic sphere. These stimulants are normally prescribed to people with ADHD, but students sometimes use them to increase their study performances. Despite alarming prevalence rates and concerns with respect to safety, research on stimulant misuse is still in its infancy. This PhD thesis will address two main research ...
Research on dynamic path planning of mobile robot based on improved DDPG algorithm Universiteit Gent
Aiming at the problems of low success rate and slow learning speed of the DDPG algorithm in path planning of a mobile robot in a dynamic environment, an improved DDPG algorithm is designed. In this article, the RAdam algorithm is used to replace the neural network optimizer in DDPG, combined with the curiosity algorithm to improve the success rate and convergence speed. Based on the improved algorithm, priority experience replay is added, and ...
A Reference Model for Mobile Playful Learning Environments Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We propose a novel model for learning environments to target the characteristics of digital natives and to improve informal learning practices, i.e. the exploration, discovery and self-monitoring of learning content and the reflection on learning activities. The Mobile Playful Learning Environment (MPLE) model is defined as consisting of seven main features (mobile user context, data collection and analysis, learner visualization, ...
