From Hellenistic Slipped Tableware to Roman Imperial and Early Byzantine Sagalassos Red Slip Ware: A diachronic examination of fine pottery from the site of Sagalassos (SW Anatolia) through an archaeometric and experimental approach KU Leuven
This thesis presents a diachronic examination of tableware production at the site of Sagalassos (SW Anatolia), from Hellenistic to Early Byzantine times. Located on the slopes of the Western Taurus Mountain range, Sagalassos was involved in a long tradition of ceramic production going back to late Achaemenid times and thus offers the opportunity to examine local tableware production in a longue durée perspective. Building upon previous research ...
First experimental evidence for the transmission of Chlamydia psittaci in poultry through eggshell penetration Ghent University
Eggshell penetration by pathogens is considered a potential route for their transmission in poultry flocks. Additionally, in case of zoonotic pathogens, contact with infected eggs or their consumption can result in human infection. Chlamydia psittaci is a zoonotic bacterium that causes a respiratory disease in poultry and humans. In this study, we provide an experimental evidence for eggshell penetration by C. psittaci. Additionally, we show ...

An experimental model to analyze the risk of introduction of a duck originated H5 low-pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry through close contact and contaminative transmission Ghent University
Aquatic wild birds are often carriers of low-pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs). If H5 and H7 LPAIVs are transmitted to poultry and have the opportunity to circulate, a highly pathogenic AIV may arise. Contact with aquatic wild birds is one of the most important ways in which these LPAIVs can be introduced into poultry flocks. In this study, the transmissibility of a duck-originated H5 LPAIV between ducks and chickens was analysed in a ...
Can the use of coccidiostats in poultry breeding lead to residues in vegetables?: an experimental study Ghent University
The aim of this study was to provide information on the dietary exposure of the European public to coccidiostats via vegetable consumption. Five groups of poultry followed a three-phase feeding schedule with feed containing the maximum allowed level of a coccidiostat: monensin, lasalocid A, salinomycin, diclazuril, and nicarbazin/narasin, plus one control group. Vegetables were cultivated on soil amended with manure (10 g of fresh weight/kg of ...
People in poverty as tandem partners in social work education in critical perspectives about service user participation and experiential knowledge University of Antwerp
A multi-task framework with enhanced hierarchical attention for sentiment analysis on Classical Chinese poetry : utilizing information from short lines Ghent University
Classical Chinese poetry has a long history, dating back to the 11th century BC. By investigating the sentiment expressed in the poetry, we can gain more insights in the emotional life and history development in ancient Chinese culture. To help improve the sentiment analysis performance in the field of classical Chinese poetry, we propose to utilize the unique information from the individual short lines that compose the poem, and introduce a ...
Graduating from poverty together? Evaluating the sustainability of the collective-level impacts of a basic income experiment in rural Uganda University of Antwerp
It is often assumed that the effects of cash transfer programs (CTs) could only be limited to temporary monetary poverty alleviation and consumption smoothing. According to theoretical discussions, such programs would not bear the potential to yield long-lasting and transformative effects in recipient communities. However, the available (even if scarce) post-program evidence seems to actually suggest that positive CT repercussions on a variety ...
Breyten Breytenbach's poetry in Raster University of Antwerp
From 1969 until 1972 the South-African writer and graphic artist Breyten Breytenbach published 29 poems, prose texts and three drawings in the Dutch experimental periodical Raster (first edition: 1967). H. C. ten Berge, writer, poet and Raster's main editor, attributed Breytenbach an unusually prominent position in his magazine. In the Dutch language area of the late sixties and early seventies, Breytenbach was mostly known for his political ...
