Quality and equity of educational systems worldwide: trends over time and determining factors KU Leuven
Education has an essential role in societies, showing both individual as well as social benefits. Therefore, countries worldwide aim for quality and equity of their educational system(s). In this dissertation, we mapped trends over time of educational systems’ quality and equity and explored some possibly determining (classroom) factors. Because there is no consensus on the definitions and on appropriate indicators of quality and equity, both ...

Development of a forensic molecular clock to determine time of death and blood trace deposition time KU Leuven
The time and date of a person’s death are two of the major questions police detectives and investigative judges ask a forensic pathologist as it provides a specific time frame in which the investigators can base their further investigations on. The current time of death estimation techniques produce large error ranges as environmental and endogenous factors have to be taken into account. The most widely accepted and accurate model is based on ...
Decreasing total sedentary time and prolonged/continued sedentary time in adults with a sedentary occupation: a randomized controlled trial. Ghent University
Prospective observational studies show that sedentary behaviour (e.g. occupational sitting) is a novel, independent risk factor for obesity, type 2 diabetes, CVD, specific cancers and all-cause mortality, independently of physical activity. We develop a randomised controlled trial to decrease sedentary time in adults with a predominantly sedentary occupation and evaluate it`s effectiveness in terms of behaviour change and cardio-metabolic ...
Placement Time of coatings on cement screeds - from model toplacement protocol. Ghent University
The first objective is to establish a practice model that hygrothermal and mechanical behavior of a floor can predict in real situations. This is done primarily for cementitious screed and ceramic tiles as finishing. Towards the end of the Project to the practice model will be extended to other coatings that are also applied to cement screeds. Finally, some additional capabilities of the advanced practice model, for example. Material ...
Modulating Human Subjective Time Experience Ghent University
Although time can be measured objectively, human time perception is remarkably subjective and influenced by individual motivations, cognitive states, and social factors. In stressful conditions, we often experience a lack of time, whereas on more relaxing occasions we might lose track of time. On the basis of fundamental knowledge from psychology, ChronoPilot will develop a prototype technology to extend or compress human subjective time ...
