The Implications of the Cognitive Sciences for the Relation Between Religion and Science Education: The Case of Evolutionary Theory KU Leuven Ghent University
This paper discusses the relationship between religion and science education in the light of the cognitive sciences. We challenge the popular view that science and religion are compatible, a view that suggests that learning and understanding evolutionary theory has no effect on students' religious beliefs and vice versa. We develop a cognitive perspective on how students manage to reconcile evolutionary theory with their religious beliefs. We ...
Fashion Store Personality: Scale Development and Relation to Self-Congruity Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although traditionally, the concept of "branding" has almost exclusively been used in the context of consumer goods, it has gradually found its way into the field of retailing (Ailawadi and Keller, 2004). In the way that consumers buy (luxury) brands to express or enhance their self-image, so can they be expected to patronize stores with a personality that matches their self-concept (Sirgy et al., 2000). This is particularly the case in the ...
Exploring the Relation between the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Games For the Purpose of Player-Centred Game Design Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A large body of research work demonstrates the importance and effectiveness of adapting a learning game to its players. This process is driven by understanding the differences between individuals in terms of abilities and preferences. One of the rather interesting but least explored approaches for understanding individual differences among learners is Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI). Gardner suggests that people exhibit multiple ...

Is the string theory model of critical exponents relevant to materials such as $Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}$ in relation to magnetic monopoles? University of Antwerp
Castelnovo et al. have proposed that magnetic monopoles emerge in spin ice. Motivated by the early studies of Fisher and Berker (FB), we here examine the possible relevance of a particular string model proposed in the literature for critical exponents in such materials. The value. 1 discussed by FB follows quite generally from the proposals in the considered model, independently of the parameter of string theory.ILM: FB propose d 1as a further ...
