Research on a low cost, accurate indoor positioning solution KU Leuven
Positioning is not a new problem. Humanity has attempted to determine its location for centuries with tools such as sextants, clocks, maps, and more. One of the largest revolutions in this field is arguably the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), which can provide position information almost anywhere on earth. Unfortunately, GPS and similar satellite navigation systems cannot be used indoors. The signal strength is reduced ...

Sugar Regulation of Nodulation: positioning the role of master sugar regulators during nodulation in soybean Ghent University
Sugar regulators integrate the plant’s sugar status into endogenous signaling pathways to coordinate developmental decisions. Three major conserved regulators TARGOT OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR), SNF1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE1 (SnRK1), and HEXOKINASE1 (HXK1), have been extensively studied for their role in plant growth. But despite the fact that sugars are pivotal as energy for beneficial plant-associated microbes, such as rhizobia during nodulation, the ...

The position and role of the institutional dramaturg: an interdisciplinary analysis of institutional dramaturgy in Flemish and Dutch city-theatres. Ghent University
This research uses both sociological methodologies and the frameworks of theatre studies and literary analysis to come to a critical analysis of the current position and role of an institutional dramaturg in the Flemish-Dutch field of theatre. It aims to bring insight into the labor of institutional dramaturgy and show the interdisciplinary approach that is needed for theatre scholars for an in-depth analysis. To first put into perspective ...
The Institutional Response to Crises and European Identity: A Quantitative Analysis of Public’s (un)Responsiveness in Times of Crisis KU Leuven
Since the early 1990s, the European Union (EU) has experienced international and domestic crises of different nature, – financial, terroristic, migration and health issues –, which encouraged the exacerbation of a political convergence and a sense of Europeanness among European citizens (Checkel & Katzenstein, 2009), gradually transforming the “permissive consensus” for European integration into a “constraining dissensus” (Hooghe & ...

Analysis of presupposition triggers in Mandarin and their use in Chinese official media discourse KU Leuven
The notion of presupposition, as studied in the field of Pragmatics, refers to knowledge that is taken for granted by participants in the exchange of information (Grundy, 2000). Serving as a strategy for generating implicit meaning, presupposition becomes a potent tool for influencing audience understanding by converting evaluative information into background knowledge. This study examines how presuppositions are used in the Chinese official ...
