How can a Belgian flood risk assessment be the base of a new risk approach in Annotto Bay, Jamaica? Ghent University
Flooding affects more people worldwide than any other hazard. Although the damages caused by inundations are severe in many countries, developed as well as developing, this last group lacks the resilience to cope with such hazards. Technocratic interventions have proven not to be sufficient to decrease the material and human cost of a flood. Therefore, risk-based methodologies are developed in order to minimize the consequences of these hazards. ...
Motor performance is not related to injury risk in growing elite-level male youth football players : a causal inference approach to injury risk assessment Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objective: To identify the causal relation between growth velocity and injury in elite-level youth football players, and to assess the mediating effects of motor performance in this causal pathway. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: We measured the body height of 378 male elite-level football players of the U13 to U15 age categories three to four months before and at the start of the competitive season. At the start of the season, ...

The strategy of risk approach in antenatal care: evaluation of the referral compliance Institute of Tropical Medicine
The main goal of antenatal care in developing countries is to identify women whose pregnancy or delivery is likely to raise problems and to refer them at the appropriate time to a hospital facility where the necessary medical equipment and expertise (vacuum extractors, cesarian sections, human skill, etc.) is available. This approach, which is known as the Risk Approach (RA) strategy, is expected to significantly reduce maternal morbidity and ...

Risk factors for iliopsoas tendinopathy after anterior approach total hip arthroplasty Hasselt University
Background Iliopsoas tendinopathy is a cause of groin pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). With the anterior approach becoming increasingly popular, our aim was to determine the prevalence of iliopsoas tendinopathy following anterior approach THA, to identify risk factors, and to determine influence on patient reported outcome. Methods This retrospective case-control study of prospectively recorded data on 2,120 primary anterior approach ...
Participatory approach for integrated basin planning with focus on disaster risk reduction : the case of the Limpopo river Ghent University
This paper defends the idea that a participatory approach is a suitable method for basin planning integrating both water and land aspects. Assertions made are based on scientific literature review and corroborated by field experience and research carried out in the Limpopo River basin, a transboundary river located in southern Africa which is affected by periodical floods. The paper explains how a basin strategic plan can be drafted and disaster ...
