Fifty-nine percent (59%) of the reported food safety issues in Vietnam are related to seafood products, mainly fish and fish products. The international export of seafood products continues to grow due to intensification of the production in the Vietnamese seafood processing industry. To ensure the production of safe food, a company-specific, effec...
Aneuploidies, and in particular, trisomies represent the most common genetic aberrations observed in human genetics today. To explore the presence of trisomies in historic and prehistoric populations we screen nearly 10,000 ancient human individuals for the presence of three copies of any of the target autosomes. We find clear genetic evidence for ...
The linear plastic lifecycle is unsustainable. Mechanical recycling of mixed plastic waste remains challenging, making chemical recycling necessary. Polyolefins, the largest share of plastic waste, can be chemically recycled through thermal pyrolysis. However, the impact of the feedstock type on pyrolysis oil composition remains unclear. Only very ...
This study analyzes how English-medium instruction (EMI) content lecturers in Vietnam navigate opportunities and challenges of incentivization, institutional support, and disciplinary autonomy in a context of transnational academic expansion. It reports on interview data with bio-engineering lecturers from five universities. Findings show that, des...
Purpose: Historical newspaper collections provide a wealth of information about the past. Although the digitization of these collections significantly improves their accessibility, a large portion of digitized historical newspaper collections, such as those of KBR, the Royal Library of Belgium, are not yet searchable at article-level. However, rece...
Most empirical research on biological shortfalls has focused on vertebrate taxa. This is important given many species in poorly studied groups such as invertebrates, plants, and fungi are predicted to possess high conservation risk. Here, we focus on Laboulbeniomycetes: a class of microfungi that are understudied. We examined four shortfalls: Linne...
The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections poses a significant threat to public health, necessitating the development of innovative and effective alternatives to antibiotics. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immunotherapy show promise in combating bacteria. However, PDT's effectiveness is hindered by its low specificity to bacteria...
Optical sensors, mounted on uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), are typically pointed straight downward to simplify structure-from-motion and image processing. High horizontal and vertical image overlap during UAV missions effectively leads to each object being measured from a range of different view angles, resulting in a rich multi-angular reflectan...
Background: Kelps are not only ecologically important, being primary producers and habitat forming species, they also hold substantial economic potential. Expansion of the kelp cultivation industry raises the interest for genetic improvement of kelp for cultivation, as well as concerns about genetic introgression from cultivated to wild populations...
Shared parenthood is increasingly emphasized in long-term foster care placements across European countries, including Flanders, where our study was conducted. However, despite its growing importance, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the dynamics and pedagogical conceptualization of shared parenthood. This research seeks to b...
