A database and ethical handling framework for human remains from archaeological research in Flanders. KU Leuven
Participation in the inventory of collections of human remains from archaeological research in Flanders, more specifically in site visits and submission of the results of the inventory
Fostering Artificial Intelligence Trust for Humans towards the optimization of trustworthiness through large-scale pilots in critical domains KU Leuven
The increasing requirement for trustworthy AI systems across diverse application domains has become a pressing need not least due to the critical role that AI plays in the ongoing digital transformation addressing urgent socio-economic needs. Despite the numerous recommendations and standards, most AI practitioners and decision makers, still prioritize system performance as the main metric in their workflows often neglecting to verify and ...
The study of alpha-synuclein pathology and related neuroinflammation in a human brain-like context: a human neurospheroid approach. University of Antwerp
Re-conceptualizing the State-Centric Human Rights Regime: Relational Human Rights Responsibility for EU Cooperative Governance Ghent University
Increasingly, cooperative governance – characterized by indivisible cooperation between private and public actors – detrimentally affect our human rights. Consider the recent examples of Borealis and BASF concerning human trafficking in Belgium, implicating the respective companies, as well as governmental authorities. Consider also, problematic use of privately procured artificial intelligence by the EU and its Member States. Scholarship to ...
The Relationship between International Investment Law and Human Rights Law – Towards a More Balanced Integration of Human Rights in Investment Law KU Leuven
Globalisation caused international law to grow and to become more complex. Besides the increased complexity, the interaction between the international law frameworks intensified. This dissertation evaluates the interaction between international investment law and human rights as this is a pressing issue which will gain ample importance in the future, given that international investment remains to touch upon new heights and human rights law ...
Uniqueness of human tooth morphology in medical imaging for human dental identification purpose KU Leuven
Human dental identification (HDI) is based on the comparison of post-mortem (PM) and ante-mortem (AM) collected odontological evidences. The quality and quantity of these evidences play an essential role in providing a positive identification. In open identification cases positive dentalidentification is established under the assumption that the human dentition is unique for each individual.
In forensic identification practice an ...
A single-cell integrative (epi)genomics and transcriptomics atlas of human preimplantation embryogenesis to understand cause and effect of (epi)genome dynamics in the first days of human development KU Leuven
The first cell cycles of human life are commonly subject to genome instability. However, the causes and consequences of the genetic alterations in the cells of the developing embryo remain to be investigated. Also the epigenetic landscape –i.e. modifications to the DNA that do not change the DNA-sequence but which can be heritable and control the expression of genes in the cells– is remodelled during early development of a human embryo. This ...
Comprehensive investigation of human mycotoxin exposure biomarkers using high resolution mass spectrometry to assess possible associations of (multiple) mycotoxin exposure with human kidney and liver diseases. Ghent University
The term biomarker refers to a characteristic that is objectively measured, and evaluated as an
indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses.
Specific well-characterized biomarkers have shown to predict relevant clinical outcomes across a
variety of treatments and populations. Recent developments in high-resolution mass spectrometry
resulting in more accuracy and new ...
