Spectroscopie met hoge resolutie van koude, gevangen, dubbel-geladen CO++ moleculen KU Leuven

Ruben de Groote
Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Université catholique de Louvain
Doubly charged molecular ions are crucial in atmospheric and space sciences due to their role in high-energy chemistry and potential influence on atmospheric escape. Despite this, their detection and characterization are hampered by the lack of high-resolution spectroscopic data - they have in fact never been detected with spectrometers or telescopes! Our project aims to overcome these existing barriers by developing a novel setup to produce, ...

UC Leuven, UC Limburg, Health Innovation Leu, Health Innovation Lim

Nood
Ten gevolge van een toenemende vergrijzing in de maatschappij en een strengere penaliteit neemt het aantal ouderen in de gevangenis jaar na jaar toe. De infrastructuur van de Belgische gevangenissen en het gevangenisregime zijn niet aangepast aan de noden en behoeften van de oudere gedetineerde. En ook beleidsmatig bevinden de oudere gedetineerden zich al jaren in de verdomhoek. Dit blijkt nog maar eens uit het strategisch actieplan ...

Kristel Beyens
FORMER_Crime & Society, Crime & Society, Criminology
Prison officers (PO) are key figures in daily prison life. In current
post-authoritarian prisons, POs’ roles and power are subjected to
change and surrounded with ambiguities. In Belgium, however, POs
regularly go on strike, leading to dramatic consequences for the
prisoners. In 2019, a new Penitentiary Act introduced pivotal changes
in the future Belgian POs’ training, job description and organization of
their ...

This body of work has significantly expanded our understanding of the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals within criminal justice systems, with a particular focus on their heightened vulnerability, discrimination, and violence in prison contexts.
