Public-Private mixing Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In many modern day societies, social conventions and governance arises at the crossroads of three evolving meta-institutions, i.e. civil society, the state represented through its government and the market. Their responsibilities in the progress of society are continuously challenged, and the battle of ideas every so often leads to temporary situations of transitory balance. These transitory situations set the agenda on public-private mixing and ...
Public-private mixing: A knowledge transfer perspective Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The introduction of the entrepreneurial spirit and its accompanying creative destruction into the pro-vision of public goods and services through private finance and privatisation brings about a reorien-tation of strategic objectives, and invokes the need to address the underlying strategic coping mech-anisms. Such a reflection is found in this article, which aims to present a summary of PhD research efforts that study particular types of ...
Multi-stakeholder co-operatives in China: a resource mix structure approach KU Leuven
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the emergence of new, multi-stakeholder co-operatives in China and identify their resource mix structure, as well as the influence of institutional environments. The empirical observations are related to a conceptual rationale of social enterprises as private businesses, and it is suggested that the new rural co-operatives found in China are increasingly caught in a “co-operative trilemma” and ...
Public support for R&D and the educational mix of R&D employees Universiteit Gent
In this article we assess the impact of public support for R&D activities on the educational mix of R&D employees in private companies. Data on tax incentives in support of R&D activities of companies in Belgium are matched with R&D survey data to investigate changes in the share of R&D employees with a specific degree: PhD, higher education (second stage and first stage, respectively), and other qualifications. Estimations ...
Childbirth care in Egypt: a repeat cross-sectional analysis using Demographic and Health Surveys between 1995 and 2014 examining use of care, provider mix and immediate postpartum care content Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Egypt has achieved important reductions in maternal and neonatal mortality and experienced increases in the proportion of births attended by skilled professionals. However, substandard care has been highlighted as one of the avoidable causes behind persisting maternal deaths. This paper describes changes over time in the use of childbirth care in Egypt, focusing on location and sector of provision (public versus private) ...
Numerical modelling of fracturing in soil mix material KU Leuven
The deep soil mixing technique consists of an in situ mechanical mixing of the soil with an injected binder (e.g. cement). However, the presence of soil inclusions (poorly or even unmixed soil) in the artificial material is unavoidable. This heterogeneous character of soil mix material makes it different from traditional building materials. The presented research investigates the influence of the volume percentage of inclusions on the strength, ...
