Growth mechanism of novelty scaly CNFs@ZnO nanofibers structure and its photoluminescence property Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Zinc oxide (ZnO), a wide direct band gap semiconductor, has attracted extensive attention for its potential optoelectronic applications, such as coherent ultraviolet light emitters. Pure one-dimensional ZnO, structures such as nanorods and nanowires, etc. inevitably have some crystal defects, which makes them to emit not only in the ultraviolet region but also in the visible range. Photoluminescent ZnO‑carbon nanocomposites are an emerging class ...
When Overt Research Feels Covert: Researching Women and Gangs in a Context of Silence and Fear KU Leuven
This paper discusses the tension between ethics in theory and ethics in practice, along the continuum of overt and covert field research. I argue that complete overt research is not only unfeasible, but can even be dangerous or harmful to the people we research and the researcher. Within this discussion it can be stated that the formal standardized requirements of the ethics committees actually undermine our ability toact ethically. For this ...
Brokering between (not so) overt and (not so) covert networks in conflict zones Ghent University
There is a tendency to consider covert networks as separate from overt networks. Drawing on data from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we demonstrate that this is not the case and identify how covert and overt networks are mutually constitutive. While most studies of African brokers have relied on network metaphors like ‘Big Men’ and ‘social membranes’, we consider the embeddedness of ‘covert’ networks in ‘overt’ networks explicitly. We ...
Lateralization patterns of covert but not overt movements change with age: An EEG neurofeedback study KU Leuven
The mental practice of movements has been suggested as a promising add-on therapy to facilitate motor recovery after stroke. In the case of mentally practised movements, electroencephalogram (EEG) can be utilized to provide feedback about an otherwise covert act. The main target group for such an intervention are elderly patients, though research so far is largely focused on young populations (<30 years). The present study therefore aimed to ...
Using an immersive virtual reality bicycle simulator to evaluate hazard detection and anticipation of overt and covert traffic situations in young bicyclists Ghent University
Virtual reality (VR) offers an interactive and more engaging setting for studying hazard anticipation and anticipation in child cyclists who have a considerably higher risk for being involved in a traffic accident. Yet, reliability, validity and usability of VR for scientific purposes remain poorly documented. With the long-term goal in mind of developing fun and interactive training programmes, this study intends to test the effectiveness of a ...
Decreasing overt discrimination increases covert discrimination: Adverse effects of equal opportunities policies. KU Leuven
Building on the moral licensing literature, this paper examines whether highlighting the successful implementation of an equal opportunities policy in a company leads to covert forms of discrimination in hiring decisions (i.e., expressing a preference for a white candidate over an equally qualified black/Moroccan candidate in an ambiguous con‐ text). Furthermore, moral self‐image is indirectly tested as a possible underlying mechanism. Two ...
