Understanding Complexity in Care: Opportunities for Ethnographic Research in Palliative Care. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Matthew P Grant, Jennifer A M Philip, Luc Deliens, Paul A Komesaroff

Background: Ethnography has been used to address a broad range of research questions in health care. With ethnographic research methods it is possible to gain access to the complex realities of health care practice as it occurs, through interpreting the nuances of individual and team behaviours, the roles and dynamics of care provision, and the social impacts and influences of illness. The provision of clinical palliative care is complex, ...

The environmental sustainability of bio-based fertilisers produced via integrated nutrient recycling technologies Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food

Dominik Jasinski, Erika De Keyser, C. Mondini, Fien Amery, Jolanta Baran, Erica Ronchin, Federica Cisilino, Annalisa Angeloni, Daan Kuiper, Rianne Visser, et al.
Bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) have been promoted by the EU as an emerging and promising solution to help manage bio-waste problems (by converting organic wastes to nutrient-rich products) and simultaneously substitute or reduce the use of mineral fertilisers. They are also considered as an effective tool for improving soil health conditions in Europe. By taking a full life cycle perspective, this paper investigates whether valorising biological ...

Transglutaminase mediated crosslinking of pea protein: from rheology to proteomics KU Leuven

Ankita Mukherjee, Dorine Duijsens, Ilse Van de Voorde, Ilse Fraeye, Florian Weiland
Despite the widespread application of transglutaminase (TG) as a processing strategy to enhance structure in protein-based systems, detailed insights spanning macro-to molecular-level mechanisms remain limited. This study investigates TG-mediated crosslinking of pea protein by integrating rheological, chemical, and proteomic analyses to establish a comprehensive structure–function relationship. Dispersions of 10 % w/v pea protein were treated ...

The sampling threat when mining generalizable inter-library usage patterns Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Yunior Pacheco Correa, Coen De Roover, Johannes Härtel
Tool support in software engineering often relies on relationships, regularities, patterns, or rules mined from other users’ code. Examples include approaches to bug prediction, code recommendation, and code autocompletion. Mining is typically performed on samples of code rather than the entirety of available software projects. While sampling is crucial for scaling data analysis, it can affect the generalization of the mined patterns.

Developing Cognition From Its Original Seeds: Kant’s Conception of the Synthetic Method in the Critique of Pure Reason KU Leuven

Karin de Boer
In the Prolegomena, Kant contrasts the synthetic procedure employed in the Critique of Pure Reason with the analytic procedure carried out in the Prolegomena itself. Given the tangle of analyses, arguments, and alleged proofs that make up the Critique itself, however, it is hard to relate Kant’s remarks on the method to the way he actually proceeds in this work. Unlike Merritt and Gava, among others, I argue that Kant’s innovative use of the ...

Minimally Informed Linear Discriminant Analysis: training an LDA model with unlabelled data KU Leuven

Nicolas Heintz, Alexander Bertrand, Tom Francart
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the oldest and most popular linear methods for supervised classification problems. Computing the optimal LDA projection vector requires calculating the average and covariance of the feature vectors of each class individually, which necessitates class labels to estimate these statistics from the data. In this paper we demonstrate that, if some minor prior information is available, it is possible to ...

Interplay between subsurface defects and contact stress fields in the fretting fatigue response of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V KU Leuven

Brecht Van Hooreweder, Reza Talemi
Fretting is a wear process induced by small-amplitude oscillatory motion under contact pressure, leading to severe surface damage. When combined with bulk cyclic loading, it results in fretting fatigue, which can drastically reduce the service life of components. This study investigates the fretting fatigue behaviour of additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V specimens produced using the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) technique. A standard ...
