Enhancing Sustainable Fashion Awareness through A Game Skin Acquisition Model
(2024)This study explores the unique potential of gaming to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry. We investigate how game skin acquisition influences players’ learning of sustainability concepts ... -
Tumor spheroids as a 3D-model for EV-mediated intratumoral RNA transfer measured by a CRISPR-Cas9 based stoplight reporter system and novel findings in the 2D model.
(2024)To cope with the rising numbers of cancer diagnoses, it is necessary to develop new kinds of treatments. The tumor microenvironment (TME) could prove to be an important target for these new therapies. EV-mediated RNA ... -
Best-fit relations between hydrological and water quality characteristics of inland wetlands and plant species richness
(2024)The increasing global population and climate change have intensified water demands, resulting in increased reliance on groundwater resources. The increasing water demand and diminishing recharge rates pose a significant ... -
CRISPR-HITI gene therapy, delivered via mesoscale nanoparticles, to restore NPHP1 function in PTEC’s.
(2024)Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage renal disease in children and adolescents. Most cases of juvenile NPHP are caused by homozygous full gene deletions of the NPHP1 gene coding for ... -
Modeling a Business Transformation with Business Process Management – a Case study
(2024)In todays paced digital world businesses are increasingly shifting from traditional methods of software distribution (Software as a Product (SaaP)) to Software as a Service (SaaS) in order to meet customer demands and stay ... -
The Effect of Interpolated Questions in Video Modeling Examples on Learning Outcomes
(2024)Instructional videos that explain a procedure are a popular way of delivering instruction. Literature shows that a sequence of examples and practice problems is equally effective as only studying examples. To smooth the ... -
A Molecular Framework That Links Dynamic Perineuronal Net Remodelling to Learning-Related Plasticity of Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons
(2024)Our fundamental capability to learn and memorize is endowed by the vivid, experience-driven adaptability of the neuronal connections within our central nervous system, termed as neuronal plasticity. An extensive body of ... -
The Influence of Glacial Lake Development on Glacier Flow Velocities and Thinning Rates in the Bhutanese Himalayas
(2024)Mountain glaciers in High Mountain Asia have experienced rapid shrinking and thinning in recent decades through global warming. In addition, more and more glaciers are developing massive lakes at their front, mainly ... -
The Body and Post-Extractivism
(2024)The global economy depends substantially on the material resources extracted from the environment. Extractivism is a process of intensive extraction of natural resources, which are used as energy sources or materials for ... -
Feasibility of post-authorization randomized controlled trials for conditionally authorized anticancer medicines – a multistakeholder perspective
(2024)To generate comprehensive evidence for anticancer medicines that have been granted a conditional marketing authorization (CMA) based on single-arm trial (SAT) data, often, post-authorization randomized controlled trials ... -
Healing the Colonial Wound in ‘Europa Oxalá’ - Decolonial Aesthesis in the AfricaMuseum
(2024)This thesis analyses how a colonial museum could decolonise itself. Central to this is the importance of addressing the colonial wound. For this, this research focuses on the Belgian-Congolese context as Belgium is a country ... -
Converging volumetric bioprinting and electrospinning to develop a patient-specific hierarchical scaffold for bone regeneration.
(2024)Bone injuries affect million people every year and they dramatically decrease the quality of life of the patients. Recently, novel biofabrication techniques for instance extrusion-based and inkjet technologies and light-based ... -
Keeping a Genomic Jungle in Check; How Eukaryotic Cells Regulate the Positive Feedback of Heterochromatin Expansion
(2024)Eukaryotic genomes contain many repetitive sequences that, without constant repression, can induce genomic instability via rogue transcription, recombination, and transposition. Repression of these sequences occurs through ... -
The Long-term Effects of Physical Exercise on Cognitive Function in Chemotherapy-treated Breast Cancer Patients Follow-up study of a Randomized Controlled Trial
(2024)Background Patients with breast cancer who have previously been treated with chemotherapy may continue to suffer from cognitive complaints for years after diagnosis and treatment. These cognitive complaints include problems ... -
fMRI Insights on Word Similarity Within the Brain: Identifying Distinguishable Word Features for Speech BCI
(2024)With its ability to investigate the similarity between brain responses to different stimuli, representational similarity analysis (RSA) may be a powerful tool to identify distinguishable linguistic features for speech BCIs. ...
