Picturing the Arctic: digital imagery and the prospect of using search engines to collect data for interpretative political research Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Imagery frames reality, and political actors tell stories using images. In an increasingly digital communication landscape, political actors tell visual stories directly on websites or social media channels. This online shift places digital imagery centrally in how we picture political issues, events, and places. Digital images are mobile, circulable and appropriable, which means images are not fused to their immediately surrounding text. ...

Blood platelet research in autism spectrum disorders: In search of biomarkers KU Leuven
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by gene-environment interactions. To improve its diagnosis and treatment, numerous efforts have been undertaken to identify reliable biomarkers for autism.

The search for the mechanism behind acupuncture: Research with neuroimaging Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In search of the mechanism behind acupuncture from a Western point of view, we will discuss neuroimaging results on acupuncture. Many results on sub-themes within acupuncture were found. For example, some results indicate that acupuncture might be point specific (e.g., Yan et al., 2005; Zhang, Jin, Luo, Zhang, Zeng, & Han, 2004), whereas others indicate that this is not the case (e.g., Campbell, 2006). Although more research is necessary on ...
