Universally, human language changes over time. One fundamental assumption about language change is that it originates at the level of an individual as a shift in frequencies with which a particular variant of linguistic expression is chosen over another. Conceiving of language change as the loss of an equilibrium in a system of stochastically used grammatical options, a change presupposes an emerging disturbing factor or a cause. A change can ...

Calculation of casualty risks during and after disasters: definition of a methodology which incorporates variable spatio-temporal elements Ghent University
Casualty risks during and after disasters (such as floods, earthquakes etc.) have received scant attention up to now. In this research, a calculation method will be presented which incorporates not only disaster related factors, but also spatio-temporal elements. The methodology will offer the possibility to compare multiple scenarios, in order to determine a strategy which minimizes the casualty risk for a given disaster.

We investigate whether (causality), why (mediating productivity perceptions) and when (moderators) employer-sided barriers hinder career resumption by conducting experimental studies (eye-tracking and vignettes). Hence, we reveal burnout stigma and test pathways out of unfavourable treatment. Next to its substantive added value, this project offers ...
