Which environmental features contribute to positive and negative perceptions of urban parks? A cross-cultural comparison using online reviews and Natural Language Processing methods Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Assessing the perceptions of urban parks and understanding the relationships between environmental features and park perceptions are critical to the design and management of urban parks. However, it is challenging to quantify park perceptions at a large spatial-temporal scale. In addition, little is known about which environmental features contribute to different perceptions in cross-cultural comparison. This study collected 21462 and 28398 ...
Comparison of automatic vs. manual language identification in multilingual social media texts Ghent University
Dealing with language and multilingualism in official settings: a comparison between Belgium and the FYROM Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Language is a tool of power and as such intertwined with the policy developed by governmental agents. This is certainly an issue in countries or regions featuring more than one official language, particularly due to the relationship between language, ethnicity and social boundaries. It provokes tensions and conflicts implying an often precarious balance between the language groups involved. Recent societal and governmental transitions have ...
Speech monitoring and phonologically-mediated eye gaze in language perception and production: a comparison using printed word eye-tracking Ghent University
A Comparison of Active and Interactive Listening in Secondary School Foreign Language Classrooms in Belgium and Turkey KU Leuven
A Comparison of Active and Interactive Listening in Secondary School Foreign Language Classrooms in Belgium and Turkey While central to language learning, listening comprehension is the least understood and least researched skill (Vandergrift, 2007). There are many reasons for this, among which is the fact that listening is the most internalized (making it difficult to observe) and teacher-centered skill (Field, 2009); in addition, as listening ...
No language policy without translation policy: A comparison of Flanders and Wales KU Leuven
© John Benjamins Publishing Company. A major challenge for authorities in the modern world is the linguistic integration of minorities. In this context, language policies play a key role as authorities are increasingly faced with the challenge of adjusting their language policies in order to secure the linguistic rights and thus the integration of their multilingual populations. In multilingual democracies, these language policies must include ...
Language ideology as an indicator of external motivation for academic English in higher education: a comparison between Flanders (B) and the DR Congo University of Antwerp
Comparison of moving boundary and finite-volume heat exchanger models in the modelica language Ghent University
When modeling low capacity energy systems, such as a small size (5–150 kWel) organic Rankine cycle unit, the governing dynamics are mainly concentrated in the heat exchangers. As a consequence, the accuracy and simulation speed of the higher level system model mainly depend on the heat exchanger model formulation. In particular, the modeling of thermo-flow systems characterized by evaporation or condensation requires heat exchanger models ...
