Podcasts about katholieke universiteit leuven

Er is iets opmerkelijks aan de hand. Toen we zes jaar geleden begonnen met De Ongelooflijke Podcast, leek het een voldongen feit: Nederland – en het Westen – wordt steeds minder religieus. De kerken stromen leeg. Secularisatie! Maar is dat nog wel zo? Gebeurt er in Nederland en andere westerse landen niet juist het tegenovergestelde? Laat nieuw onderzoek zien dat de interesse in religie en kerk toeneemt – vooral onder jongeren? Is er sprake van een religieuze revival? En waar komt die vandaan? Dat bespreken we natuurlijk met onze vaste gast en expert op dit thema: theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht. Maar ook met twee interessante twintigers: Romy Kersten groeide op in een niet-gelovige omgeving, maar kwam tot geloof. Inmiddels studeert ze theologie aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en is ze een soort digitale zendeling op TikTok – een platform waar ook op religieus vlak van alles gebeurt. Tim Kuijsten stuurde ons een kritisch bericht via LinkedIn: volgens hem missen wij in De Ongelooflijke wat er speelt onder jongeren als het gaat om geloof – zeker ook onder migrantenjongeren. Tim is politicus voor de ChristenUnie en kwam in Amsterdam onlangs in aanvaring met het seculiere stadsbestuur. We gaan weer live met De Ongelooflijke! Donderdagavond 26 juni zijn we live in de Nieuwe Buitensociëteit in Zwolle. Kaarten zijn te boeken via eo.nl/ongelooflijke (https://meer.eo.nl/de-ongelooflijke-podcast). Er zijn nog maar een paar kaarten!

In deze bijzondere aflevering duiken we diep in de kern van wat school werkelijk de school maakt. Jan Masschelein en Maarten Simons, beiden verbonden aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, nemen ons mee in hun visie op de school als een plek van vrijheid, gelijkheid en vorming. Ze belichten hoe scholen nieuwe generaties de kans bieden zich tot werelden te verhouden, voorbij de dominante prestatiedrang en het efficiëntiedenken.Na een kritisch-pedagogische fase besloten Masschelein en Simons te pleiten voor een herwaardering van de school als een fysieke, sociale én publieke ruimte die van fundamenteel belang is voor de democratie. In een tijdperk van toenemende digitalisering en personalisering door AI, stellen zij dat het juist nu cruciaal is om die unieke eigenschappen van de school te beschermen die élk individu de ruimte geeft om diens eigen toekomst vorm te geven. Hoe kan AI een plaats krijgen binnen het onderwijs zonder de vrijheid, gelijkheid en vorming te ondermijnen?Deze aflevering biedt stof tot nadenken over de toekomst van onderwijs in een wereld waar technologische vooruitgang en maatschappelijke verwachtingen soms botsen met pedagogische idealen. Een inspirerende oproep om opnieuw ruimte te maken voor echte aandacht, fysieke aanwezigheid, en de mogelijkheid om als mens in vrijheid te zijn en worden.

België is een klein en complex land: drie gewesten, drie taalgemeenschappen, een federale regering en een taalgrens die dwars door het grondgebied loopt. Onderlinge verschillen zijn min of meer het fundament van België - en TOCH moet er samen worden bestuurd. In Europa is dat eigenlijk niet anders. Daarmee is België een soort Europese Unie in het klein. Ook binnen de Europese Unie zijn veel complexe verschillen. Ieder land hecht veel waarde aan zijn nationale tradities, cultuur, taal en gebruiken. Om nog maar te zwijgen over het feit dat de 27 lidstaten allemaal een democratie hebben en daarom soms andere dingen vinden van bepaalde zaken. Desondanks werkt het samenwerkingsverband al jaren. Maar werkt dat ook als de samenwerking binnen Europa verder geïntensiveerd wordt? Gaat dat niet recht in tegen nationalistische belangen en gevoelens van sommige partijen die aan populariteit winnen binnen Europa? Denk aan de verkiezingswinst van de PVV in ons land, maar ook aan de opkomst van de Duitse Alternative für Deutschland, de populaire Marine Le Pen in Frankrijk en iemand als Viktor Orbán in Hongarije? In België is dit niet anders. Bij de verkiezingen van dit jaar worden overwinningen verwacht voor de Vlaams-nationalistische N-VA en het Vlaams Belang. Al zijn die partijen ook weer heel verschillend van elkaar. In deze aflevering van Dossier Europa praat Europaverslaggever Geert Jan Hahn met de Belgische politicoloog Steven van Hecke, professor Europese politiek aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Wat kan Europa leren van het functioneren van België. Of kan België juist meer leren van de Europese Unie?.   Over de maker  Geert Jan Hahn is BNR's Europaverslaggever en maker van de BNR Perestrojkast.

Een van de terugkerende verklaringen voor de grote winst van de PVV is het lage vertrouwen in en het onvoldoende functioneren van de overheid en onze democratie. De afstand tussen burgers en politiek is te groot, de politiek luistert te weinig naar burgers en toont te weinig daadkracht, zo blijkt uit meerdere onderzoeken. Burgerfora worden steeds populairder als middel om burgers en politiek nader tot elkaar te brengen. Vlak voor de val van het kabinet stemde de Tweede Kamer zelf in met een nationaal burgerforum over klimaat en energie.  In deze eerste aflevering van Appèl van 2024 praten we met twee deskundigen over burgerfora. Politicoloog Lisa van Dijk promoveerde onlangs aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven op een onderzoek naar de kansen én risico's van zogeheten minipublieken, een verzamelterm waar burgerfora onder vallen. Kunnen deze de vertrouwenskloof tussen politiek en burgers dichten? Politicoloog Josje den Ridder doet bij het Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau onderzoek naar de publieke opinie over democratie en politiek. Presentatie: Suzanne van den Eynden en Daniel Schut

Welcome to the third episode of season two of Conversations in Fetal Medicine, where we talk to Professor Jan Deprest. Jan Deprest is a leading international fetal surgeon who works two days a week at UCLH as a consultant and at UCL as a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. At UCL he works in the Institute for Women's Health and the Translational Imaging Group. For the rest of the week he works at his home institutions,  at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and its University Hospitals Leuven (Belgium). Professor Deprest is currently the academic chair of the Department of Development and Regeneration and director of the Centre for Surgical Technologies.Clinically he is the director of the fetal surgery programme in Leuven. He trained in fetal medicine in Leuven (Belgium), St George's Hospital London (UK), Leiden (Holland) and attended the programme at Children's Hospital Philadelphia (PA, USA). He established the Eurofoetus consortium, which is dedicated to the development of instruments and techniques for minimally invasive fetal and placental surgery. The Leuven Fetal Medicine Team focuses on antenatal modulation of lung development, e.g. for pulmonary hypoplasia due to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) as well as for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. He has headed several clinical studies dedicated to the prenatal prediction of survival of fetuses with isolated CDH using genetic testing, ultrasound and fetal MRI imaging. He developed a percutaneous method for fetoscopic placement of a balloon into the fetal trachea (FETO).  His translational research also investigates the application of amniotic fluid derived stem cells for treating fetuses or neonates with CDH or other lung disorders, fetal membrane wound healing and brain development in fetuses exposed to steroids or anesthesia.Bio from UCLH: https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/our-services/find-consultant/professor-jan-deprestBio from KU Leuven: https://www.kuleuven.be/wieiswie/en/person/00031972ORCID record (to see his many publications): https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4920-945XWe have not included any patient identifiable information, and this podcast is intended for professional education rather than patient information (although welcome anyone interested in the field to listen).

Dr. Laura records a special episode live in Bruges, Belgium, with guest Philip Vanhoutte for a tour of the Generous Workhome. Philip explains how the vital elements of nature and wellbeing were distilled into six essentials for work health, and how those six essentials were built into the Generous Workhome to create an optimal, productive environment.Philip drew from research into the value of pulling nature into daily life and the concepts of biophilic design to create the blueprint for the Generous Workhome. His theory is encapsulated by the acronym EASI, which is defined as Energizing being the key to driving Authoring, Sharing, and Interacting. As Philip guides Dr. Laura through the prototype Workhome studio spaces, it is evident that elements of sound blocking, nature, movement, adjustable lighting, and air temperature have all been carefully curated. Dr. Laura learns more about how EASI needs are woven into a functional work layout, the intention behind every choice, and how the outdoors can be brought into daily life.  The YouTube version of this episode will enable viewers to truly see the Generous Workhome, aspects of which can be applied into our own work environments.“In here you are hearing the sounds of a forest at this very moment. It's a biophilic sound which has no repetition or pattern in it. So it's not twice the same bird that you're hearing chirping. And that puts people at ease. What human beings and animals need is the sounds of water, wind, and birds. If they hear these things, they relax.” Philip VanhoutteAbout Philip Vanhoutte:Leveraging a rewarding international career in the ITC industry, Philip Vanhoutte's passion for personal productivity tools and communication & collaboration solutions morphed into a singular purpose: accelerating the realization of human potential.Philip champions the adoption of Smarter Working: a holistic human centered work design practice that unifies space, technology, and people disciplines. He co-authored The Smarter Working Manifesto, a definitive guide on how to shape the best work style. In his quest for health and joy at work he learned that Nature Deficit Disorder has produced highest ever burnouts, work induced sickness, and a struggling workforce. He campaigned for more nature at work with Ozadi at SXSW in Austin and GCUC in Denver.Philip graduated from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium with a combined Applied Economics and Engineering degree and a major in Marketing. He started his career at Accenture Consulting, to continue with key change management roles at Engie and Wang Laboratories. In the second part of his IT career, he grew the MCI WorldCom International business, became Chief Marketing Officer at Sony-Ericsson Mobile Communications to finish a blue-chip career as SrVP and MD of Plantronics (now part of HP) Europe and Africa.Since the Financial Crisis of 2008, Philip became a strong advocate of Agile Working with a passion for Human Dimensions of Organisations. He is known for transformational projects in award-winning offices which are acoustic temples and benchmarks for the biophilic built environment. He has advised Leesman, Veldhoen+Company and Work EvOHlution, and provided support to the founding of the Osservatorio Smart Working at the Politecnico di Milano.Resources:Philip Vanhoutte on LinkedInWebsite: https://smarterworking.io/“The Smarter Working Manifesto” by Guy Clapperton and Philip Vanhoutte  “14 Patterns of Biophilic Design” by Terrapin Bright GreenEASINot A DeskMoodsonic  Aera home fragrance  Savanna Studio“Forest Bathing” by Dr. Qing Li“Spring Cannot Be Cancelled” by David Hockney and Martin GayfordLearn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.liveFor more resources, look into Dr. Laura's organizations: Canada Career CounsellingSynthesis Psychology

Dr. Laura welcomes guests Laura Cohen, counsellor and founder of her own nature therapy practice, and Philip Vanhoutte, ITC industry professional and author of “The Smarter Working Manifesto”, to the show to talk about the power of Vitamin N, nature. Both Laura and Philip are champions of the benefits of a connection with nature at work and in life.Laura Cohen, who works with Dr. Laura through Canada Career Counselling, details studies that show people to be happiest in coastal environments and outdoors. She also cites the profound benefits of nature for those living with ADHD. Philip Vanhoutte is a proponent of Biophilic Design, which includes identifying fourteen patterns of nature that would ideally be included in a building to directly impact the wellness of individuals within. The ways in which nature improves our work lives and overall health are compelling and it becomes apparent that we need to set ourselves up to maximize our interactions with nature. Laura and Philip share their individual expertise on the transformative power of nature and how they each advise incorporating more of the outdoors into our daily lives. “There's also this idea that I think a lot of the time we see nature as this thing that's separate from us or that it's a commodity to fulfill us and make us feel good… it reduces our stress hormones and we see it as something that's beneficial. But the next level is kind of understanding the reciprocity and how do I give back to nature, and developing that sort of deeper relationship with nature.” Laura CohenAbout Laura Cohen:Originally from Montreal, Laura is now based in Halifax with a 10 minute walk to the ocean. For the last 6 years, Laura has worked as a counsellor in universities, Employee Assistance Programs, and in private practice, including her own nature therapy practice and Canada Career Counselling.  Laura holds a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a minor in Psychology from Concordia University. Laura has been a guest lecturer for organizations such as Dalhousie University, Concordia University, Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association presenting on the mental health benefits of nature as well as, offers individual nature-informed therapy and outdoor groups therapeutic services for women and children for an embodied experience. She is also an intuitive, creative, and finds herself exploring the intersection of psychospiritual concepts and western psychology in her work as a nature therapist  guiding her clients through the lens of transpersonal psychology, polyvagal theory, creative arts, and other modalities like Acceptance & commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems.   About Philip Vanhoutte:Leveraging a rewarding international career in the ITC industry, Philip Vanhoutte's passion for personal productivity tools and communication & collaboration solutions morphed into a singular purpose: accelerating the realization of human potential.Philip champions the adoption of Smarter Working: a holistic human centred work design practice that unifies space, technology, and people disciplines.

The Most Holy Trinity - John 3:16-18 Dr Teresa Brown is a Melbourne-based theologian, who teaches in the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. She has a PhD in Theology, a Master of Religious Education and a Master of Theological Studies. In her PhD, she explored the relationship between trinitarian faith and Christian life through the lens of a theology of interruption. She is particularly interested in the way in which we approach theology today, how this might inform and be informed by the experience of Christians within diverse contexts, and how this might, in turn, be reflected in the education of young people in Catholic schools. Teresa works with Catholic Education partners around Australia and with research partners at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven to support schools in the formation, articulation and practice of their Catholic identity.

Hoe kan je onze tijd beter begrijpen? Door de tijdgeest te doorgronden. Dat stelt Rik Torfs, een van de beste, grappigste en meest scherpzinnige sprekers die we ooit in de Ongelooflijke hebben mogen verwelkomen. En daarom is hij weer terug, voor de derde keer! We bespreken zijn nieuwe boek 'Tijdgeest', waarin Torfs de grote thema's van deze tijd doordenkt, waaronder ook geloof. Hoe kunnen we deze tijd en haar dilemma's beter begrijpen? Rik Torfs is een fenomeen in Vlaanderen, waar hij bekend werd als senator, columnist en jurylid bij de 'Slimste Mens België'. Maar in het dagelijks leven is hij vooral hoogleraar kerkelijk recht aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.  David Boogerd in gesprek met Rik Torfs en uiteraard vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas van de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Kampen-Utrecht.

What's Behind The Strange Slowing Of The Earth's Core? Even though some days feel more chaotic than others, the rotation of the surface of the planet proceeds at a pretty constant rate—about one full rotation every 24 hours. But the rotational speed of the inner core is less stable, and has been known to shift over time. Now, researchers are reporting in the journal Nature Geoscience that according to seismic data, the Earth's inner core may have recently paused its rotation, and could even go on to reverse direction relative to the rest of the planet. Tim Revell, deputy United States editor of New Scientist, joins SciFri producer Kathleen Davis to talk about the shift in rotation and other stories from the week in science, including shared language characteristics between humans and wild apes, and a wolf population that has started to enjoy snacking on sea otters. They'll also talk about an ancient Egyptian mummy with a heart of gold, research into why some mushrooms glow in the dark, and a tiny robot with morphing liquid metal capabilities straight out of Hollywood.   Here's What We Know About Long COVID, Three Years Later Just a few months into the pandemic, it became clear that in some people, the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused a cascade of symptoms for months after their initial infections. These lingering effects are now commonly referred to as Long COVID. And as long as the pandemic barrels on, the population of Long COVID patients will continue to grow. Over the past three years, researchers have closely studied these symptoms, seeking to better understand its underlying causes and improve treatment. Guest host Maddie Sofia talks with Hannah Davis, co-founder of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative and co-author of a recently published comprehensive review on the state of Long COVID research, and Dr. Bhupesh Prusty, principal investigator at the Institute for Virology and Immmunobiology at the University of Würzburg in Germany.   Meet The Art Sleuths Using Science To Find Frauds At the end of last year, a big case was decided in the world of art crime. Qatari Sheikh Hamad al Thani won a case against his former art dealer, after nearly $5 million dollars worth of purchased ancient artifacts were all determined to be fake. Among the artifacts was a Hari Hara sandstone statue purported to be from 7th century Vietnam. In reality, the piece was made in 2013. Art experts say forged antiquities are extremely common in museums and private art collections: Former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Thomas Hoving estimated 40% of artworks for sale at any given time were fake. The task of determining what art is real and what art is fake falls to scientists, who use tools like X-rays and carbon dating to get accurate readings of time and place of origin for artifacts. Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to talk about this are Erin Thompson, art crime professor at the City University of New York, and Patrick Degryse, professor of archeometry at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  

Gesprek met musicoloog Jan Christiaens over cantate BWV 81 "Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen?" van Johan Sebastiaan Bach. Jan is als musicoloog verbonden aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en het bisdom Gent.

From ‘Peanut Weddings' to ‘Beef Stands': The Socio-Culinary History of Chicago's ‘Italian Beef' Presented by Anthony F. Buccini, PhD Italian Americans have contributed a considerable number of portable fast foods to regional and local cuisines around the United States, some of which have become extremely popular at the national level. One such food which, despite its frequent discussion in recent food-related media, has remained very much a local dish is Chicago's ‘Italian beef'. As a sandwich filled with thin slices of roasted beef, this product at first blush looks to be an Italian-American take on the mainstream Anglo-American roast beef sandwich, and popular food writers have accordingly sought its origins in terms of some single ‘inventor' whose culinary and entrepreneurial stroke of genius came to be imitated by other small entrepreneurs and thus the dish gradually became established throughout the city and ultimately its suburbs. The idea of seeking an individual responsible for the invention of a given dish is common but often misguided, and in the case of Italian beef it is especially so. My own analysis of the issue of the origins of Chicago's ‘beef sandwich', based in part on my knowledge of Italian and Italian-American cookery and in part on decades of interactions with older lifelong residents of the Taylor Street neighbourhood, where Italian beef first arose as a fast food, indicates, however, that today's messy sandwich is a commercial reflection of a festive dish which itself derives directly from a traditional method of preparing meat; in essence, this dish was brought to America by immigrants from southern Italy and more specifically from Naples and its surrounding area. Of particular interest here are the socio-culinary and economic aspects of this bit of Italian-American food history. Anthony F. Buccini studied at Columbia University (B.A.) and Cornell University (Ph.D. 1992, Germanic Linguistics); he also studied and later conducted research as a Fulbright Scholar at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. He taught for many years in various capacities at the University of Chicago (Germanic Languages and Literatures, Linguistics, the College); his current research focusses on Mediterranean and Atlantic World foodways. Buccini is a two-time winner of the Sophie Coe Prize in Food History (2005, 2018). https://anthonybuccini.com CONNECT WITH CULINARY HISTORIANS OF CHICAGO ✔ MEMBERSHIP https://culinaryhistorians.org/membership/ ✔ EMAIL LIST http://culinaryhistorians.org/join-our-email-list/ ✔ S U B S C R I B E https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ F A C E B O O K https://www.facebook.com/CulinaryHistoriansOfChicago ✔ PODCAST 2008 to Present https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts/ By Presenter https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts-by-presenter/ ✔ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ W E B S I T E https://www.CulinaryHistorians.org

Cochrane is preparing a series of reviews to help decision makers deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact. We are keeping these up to date as new evidence becomes available and the review of using signs and symptoms to diagnose whether someone has the disease has been updated for the second time. The review was first published in June 2020 and the most recent update was published in May 2022. Here's the lead author, Thomas Struyf from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, to tell us about the latest findings.

We are keeping these up to date as new evidence becomes available and the review of using signs and symptoms to diagnose whether someone has the disease has been updated for the second time. The review was first published in June 2020 and the most recent update was published in May 2022. Here's the lead author, Thomas Struyf from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, to tell us about the latest findings.

Hoewel het gemiddeld vertrouwen in de wetenschap in Nederland de afgelopen jaren is gestegen, werkte het wantrouwen onder bepaalde groepen in de samenleving wel degelijk als ondermijnend. Hebben wetenschappers daar wel een antwoord op? Horen wetenschappers zich daar überhaupt tegen te verdedigen? Of blijft alles wat je aandacht geeft, groeien? In deze aflevering van De Publieke Tribune gaat Coen Verbraak in gesprek met wetenschappers over hun ervaringen met wantrouwen in de wetenschap en hun rol in het publieke debat. Zijn wetenschappers voldoende bij machte om zich te verweren tegen de groepen die zich tegen hen keren? * Marc Van Ranst (1965) is een Belgische hoogleraar in de virologie aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. In de zomer van 2021 moest hij tijdelijk onderduiken met zijn gezin omdat hij werd bedreigd; * Ineke Sluiter (1959) is hoogleraar Griekse taal en literatuur aan de Universiteit Leiden en sinds 2020 president van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Academie van Wetenschappen (KNAW); * Roel Coutinho (1946) is een Nederlands arts en microbioloog en was hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij was de eerste directeur van het Centrum Infectieziektebestrijding (Cib), onderdeel van het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM).

Last month, in a marriage of two contract management platforms, Conga acquired Contract Wrangler. For entrepreneur-turned-lawyer-turned-entrepreneur Neil Peretz, it was the conclusion of a journey that began five years earlier, when he founded Contract Wrangler with a vision of a contracts platform that would be more than just a repository, more than able to simply identify key clauses, but that would actually be able to provide answers to what was in those contracts.  What is it like to start, build and then sell a legal tech company? What were the challenges Peretz faced in developing the product and building a market? How did he see his product as distinct from other CLM platforms in the market? What was it like to see the company he started get acquired? On this episode of LawNext, we discuss those questions and others.  Peretz learned firsthand about the challenges of managing too many contracts as general counsel for multiple venture-backed financial services companies, including Aliya Financial Technologies and Better Finance. Even before becoming a lawyer, he was developing software to solve real-world problems, first as co-founder and CEO of PocketMail Group, which launched the first affordable mobile email service, and then as COO and CFO of Libraria/Sertanty, which used computer models to predict novel chemistries.   Peretz  holds law degrees from the UCLA School of Law and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (where he was a Fulbright Scholar), bachelors and masters degrees from Tufts University, and a specialization certificate from the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Jn 6:1-15 - Scarcity and Abundance Dr Teresa Brown is a Melbourne-based teacher and researcher in the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. She has a PhD in Theology, a Master of Religious Education and a Master of Theological Studies. In her PhD, she explored the relationship between trinitarian faith and Christian life through the lens of Lieven Boeve's theology of interruption. She is particularly interested in the way in which we approach theology today, how this might inform and be informed by the experience of Christians within diverse contexts, and how this might, in turn, be reflected in the education of young people in Catholic schools. Teresa works with Catholic Education partners around Australia and with research partners at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven to support schools in the formation, articulation and practice of their Catholic identity. Before coming to ACU, she taught Religious Education and Music in Catholic secondary schools in Victoria and held positions of leadership in Religious Education and Professional Learning. Teresa is co-author of “Openness to Faith as a Disposition for Teachers in Catholic Schools,” published in the International Journal of Practical Theology, 2020, and is currently co-writing a book on recontextualisation with Robyn Horner, due for publication in 2022.

De coronacrisis heeft vele aspecten van het dagelijkse leven grondig door elkaar geschud. Ook in het onderwijs moesten ze op zoek naar een nieuwe manier van werken. Daar zijn dan enorm veel digitale hulpmiddelen aan te pas gekomen. Dit was de aanleiding voor de hogeschool VIVES en de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven om na te denken over een nieuwe postgraduaatsopleiding, namelijk digitale didactiek. In deze aflevering van Doorbraak Radio komt Tony Opsomer, docent aan VIVES, meer uitleg geven bij deze nieuwe opleiding die vanaf september wordt aangeboden.Support the show (https://doorbraak.be/steun/)

Gast: Prof. dr. Manu Keirse, emeritus hoogleraar aan de faculteit geneeskunde van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Hij is klinisch psycholoog en doctor in de geneeskunde. In België en Nederland is hij vooral bekend vanwege zijn expertise rondom verlies en verdriet. Zijn eerste boek 'Helpen bij verlies en verdriet. Een gids voor het gezin en de hulpverlener' (uitgegeven bij Lannoo in 1995) werd een bestseller. Vorig jaar verscheen een volledig herziene editie onder dezelfde titel. Manu Keirse zegt over rouw: 'Het is het proces van omgaan met verdriet dat je moet doorleven. Alles wat je dierbaar is en wat je kunt verliezen, brengt een rouwproces op gang.

Godsdienstfilosoof Dennis Vanden Auweele was een gepassioneerd atheïst, tot hij van zijn ongeloof viel. Het is geen standaard bekeringsverhaal, want hoewel Dennis pleit voor een herwaardering van religie, vindt hij de vraag of God bestaat maar oninteressant. Dennis onderzoekt aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven de geschiedenis van het atheïsme en hij schreef het boek 'Bekentenissen van een Afvallige atheïst', waarmee hij in 2019 de Vlaamse Publieksprijs voor het beste religieuze boek won. Journalist David Boogerd en theoloog Stefan Paas praten met Dennis Vanden Auweele over atheïsme - hij noemt het de snelst gegroeide ideologie ooit -, het ervaren van God en waarom hij zich pas in Nederland katholiek ging voelen.

Josh Adam offers a coaching/personal perspective behind his successes using the power of self-reflection, to answer the question; What does it mean to be human? ⁠  Leading a team is not an easy task, every coach has unique tactics and coaching techniques to maximize their teams successes. Josh Adam uses the power of self-reflection for his team's success stating that “success is a byproduct of us working on the best version of ourselves”. ⁠  Individual self-reflection transferred into a team setting creates individuals who are tied together by one goal and one sense of spirit, to be the best version of themselves as a whole. Which ultimately embodies what it means to be authentically human.⁠    " Faith is a hope in evidence of things that are unseen" -  Josh Adam   Josh is a Navy veteran, married with 4 children, including twins.  He Graduated with a bachelor's degree in history and  Christian education from Seattle Pacific in 2000, did his post-bachelor's research at Katholieke Universiteit-Leuven in Belgium and then received his master's in sports and exercise science from Minnesota.   He rowed for 4 years at Seattle Pacific and started coaching rowing in 2001.  That lead to a career in coaching.  He has coached at Seattle-Pacific, Indiana, Washington State, the US National Team and now at USC as the head coach.    " Faith is a hope in evidence of things that are unseen" -  Josh Adam   Topics we discuss:  Studying History of the Iberian Peninsula   Learning how to listen verses speaking  The essence of competition   The true definition of love  Sitting with a life coach to discuss it   Learning how to balance EGO among family, work and life   How to become authentically Human and   figuring out your purpose   Learning about leadership as a young coach to now divulging into potential recruits   The definition of success  how its perceived  How to coach   What does it mean to make it   Perfect flow state, and how it doesn’t have to equal success     References:  Martin Buber "I and Thou"  Aristotle De Anima / On The Soul  Self talk  Radiohead "Where I End and You begin"  Flow state   Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi    Credits:    Lead editor + Producer: Ruf Holmes    Music:  Main Theme: "Eaze Does It" by Shye Eaze and DJ Rufbeats, a More In Common Podcast Exclusive.  Guest theme:  "Keel" by DJ Rufbeats created as a More In Common Podcast Exclusive. 

Soledad Agüero es traductora de inglés egresada de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. También cursó estudios literarios en la Katholieke Universiteit Leuven de Bélgica, en el marco de la beca Erasmus Mundus otorgada por la Unión Europea a estudiantes latinoamericanos con desempeño académico destacado. Durante los años sabáticos que se tomó en la facultad, estudió y trabajó en distintos países, como España, Bélgica y Brasil. Si bien ni los estudios ni los trabajos estuvieron ligados a la traducción, le permitieron adquirir herramientas y habilidades que luego pudo aplicar en su desempeño profesional, como la negociación, el manejo del tiempo o la capacidad de adaptación. Su primer trabajo como traductora profesional fue en el Ministerio de Agricultura, donde ingresó con un puesto in-house en 2011. Una experiencia totalmente positiva, tanto en lo profesional como en lo personal, dice Sole, porque se encontró con dos colegas con mucha experiencia y paciencia para guiarla por este camino cuando ella todavía estaba “verde”. ¡Ni las CAT tools conocía! Además de esas compañeras de fierro, se encontró con un tema que la fascinó y que, claramente, la marcó. Por eso, después de toda la experiencia que juntó en el ministerio, Soledad siguió dedicándose exclusivamente a la traducción para los sectores agrícola y ambiental. En el año 2013, cansada del estrés y de la vida «apurada» de Buenos Aires, se mudó con su pareja a San Rafael, Mendoza, a una finca con viñedos y frutales en medio del campo. (Sí, la envidiamos mucho…) En 2019 decidió que ya era hora de darle una identidad más definida a su servicio y creó su propia empresa con el objetivo de ayudar al mundo angloparlante a hacer más y mejores negocios agrícolas en América Latina en español. Soledad trabaja con agencias de traducción, ONG, organismos internacionales, startups y clientes directos, principalmente en los ámbitos de la horticultura y el agtech (ámbito por el que está totalmente apasionada). En cuanto a los desafíos que presenta el rubro en particular, Soledad destaca las diferencias lingüísticas entre las variantes latinoamericanas, o sea, la famosa puja entre el neutro y los localismos. El ejemplo que nos da es el de las castañas de cajú (Argentina, Uruguay y Chile), que en México son nueces de la India, en Venezuela se llaman merey, en Cuba marañon, en República Dominicana cajuil, y para nuestros podcastescuchas de España son los anacardos. Cuando el cliente sabe qué mercado le interesa más, la cosa es más sencilla, pero cuando le piden para todo Latinoamérica, pues, a la pobre Soledad se le enmarañan los marañones. Otro de los desafíos en su día a día con los textos relacionados con la agricultura tiene que ver con la inclusión, porque Sole explica que hay muchas mujeres que se dedican a esto y están excluidas en términos de accesos o beneficios, por lo cual ella siempre cuida el aspecto de la inclusión en sus textos y, a veces, tiene que sacar a relucir sus dotes de negociación con algunos clientes que son, mayormente, hombres. Si alguien quisiera meterse de lleno en este rubro, Sole recomienda ir buscando cursos de capacitación, webinarios y demás en organismos nacionales e internacionales para ir formándose en el tema y metiéndose de lleno en la terminología y conceptos. También recomienda las experiencias de voluntariado para tomarle la mano a la práctica, y menciona que Naciones Unidas tiene un programa de voluntariado donde hay mucho trabajo sobre agricultura. Además, nos cuenta que ella todavía hace trabajo voluntario, ya no para ganar experiencia, sino para aportar su granito de arena al mundo con su profesión, colaborando con traducciones al español para una ONG ambientalista que se llama Mongabay https://es.mongabay.com/.

Tijdens de coronatijd schreef Rik Torfs, professor aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, een boek met daarin zijn ideeën over de Katholieke Kerk. De gedurfde titel De Kerk is fantastisch geeft alvast een eerste beeld over het onderwerp en zijn mening. In deze aflevering van Doorbraak Radio gaan de kerkjurist en Pieter Bauwens, hoofdredacteur van Doorbraak, dieper in op de inhoud van dit boek en de vraag of de Kerk wel degelijk fantastisch is.Support the show (https://doorbraak.be/steun/)

Naar aanleiding van de opening van de tentoonstelling "Loving Care" gaan prof. dr. Dirk De Wachter en Pierre Mertens een gesprek aan over het onderwerp “De Kunst van het Zorgen”.  Pierre Mertens (Antwerpen, 1953) is beeldend kunstenaar, groepstherapeut en activist voor de rechten van mensen met een handicap. Zijn oudste dochter Liesje, geboren in 1978, had Spina Bifida en Hydrocephalus. Daarom richtte hij de Vlaamse vereniging voor Spina Bifida en Hydrocephalus op, omdat toen zowat alles misliep in de zorg voor zijn kind. Later werd hij voorzitter van de wereldorganisatie van personen met Spina Bifida en Hydrocephalus, en richtte Child-Help op, een NGO die zich inzet voor kinderen met een aangeboren handicap in ontwikkelingslanden. Hij schreef ook drie boeken over handicap en maatschappij die in meerdere talen vertaald werden. Prof. dr. Dirk De Wachter moet eigenlijk niet meer voorgesteld worden, maar toch een korte biografische schets. Dirk De Wachter (Boom, 1960), is psychiater en psychotherapeut in het Universitair Psychiatrisch Centrum van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Hij is expert in systeem- en gezinstherapie en verantwoordelijk voor het dagactiviteitencentrum Sint-Maarten op de campus Kortenberg. Aan de KU Leuven is hij verbonden als opleider en supervisor in de gezinstherapie. Als professor geeft hij al jaren de cursus “Psychologie van personen met een handicap” waar hij steeds Pierre Mertens uitnodigt als spreker. Dirk De Wachter is ook een veelgeprezen auteur. Hij schreef diverse bestsellers, waaronder het maatschappijkritische “Borderline Times,” “Liefde. Een onmogelijk verlangen?” en maakte, ook als kunstliefhebber, “Museum Dirk De Wachter.” In de kunst en in de zorg voor kwetsbare personen vinden Dirk De Wachter en Pierre Mertens elkaar. Dirk als professor/zorgverlener/maatschappelijk betrokken auteur, Pierre Mertens als kunstenaar/psychotherapeut/activistische ouder. In 2019 nam Dirk De Wachter het peterschap van Child-Help vzw op en bezocht met Pierre Mertens enkele projecten in Tanzania.

Het NRC noemde hem één van de popsterren van de psychiatrie, Vrij Nederland beschouwt hem als een seculiere dominee: Dirk de Wachter, de bekende Vlaamse psychiater, schrijver en hoogleraar aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Volgens De Wachter kampt onze samenleving met een zingevingsprobleem. Sterker nog, onze samenleving is ziek en vertoont tekenen van borderline. We zijn geobsedeerd door het streven naar geluk en genot maar volgens De Wachter ligt daaronder een hunkering naar een zinvol bestaan. Maar hoe vind je die zin? Wat is het goede leven? En welke rol spelen God en geloof hierin? David Boogerd gaat in gesprek met Dirk de Wachter en theoloog Stefan Paas.

First published in 1992 before the creation of the euro, Paul De Grauwe's Economics of Monetary Union (Oxford University Press, 2020) has become a standard text for undergraduates seeking to understand this remarkable but “fragile” project. Updated every two years and now in its 13th edition, the book can hardly keep up with economic and policy developments in the 19-nation Euro Area. But De Grauwe, who is still teaching at the London School of Economics after retiring from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, can always be relied upon to plug the gaps with policy ideas. In the latest of these, he made the case for the European Central Bank to monetize governments' pandemic-related deficits.

De nieuwe beeldenstorm, zo wordt deze tijd al genoemd. Een tijd waarin we als samenleving steeds kritischer kijken naar ons verleden en de zogenaamde helden van vroeger. Menig nationaal boegbeeld is al van een sokkel getrokken, in Amerika, Engeland en ook in Nederland zwelt de discussie aan. En het blijft niet bij slavenhandelaren, ook beelden van Winston Churchill en Mahatma Gandhi zijn beklad. Wat zegt dit allemaal? Moeten die standbeelden inderdaad verdwijnen of is het doorgeschoten moralisme? En wat kunnen we leren van de beeldenstormen uit het verleden? David Boogerd gaat in gesprek met Rik Torfs en Stefan Paas en hoort hoe religie kan relativeren. Rik Torfs is hoogleraar aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en een garantie voor memorabele en spitsvondige uitspraken. Stefan Paas is voormalig Theoloog des Vaderlands en hoogleraar aan de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Kampen.

Elke dag poets je je tanden, zeker twee keer. Zo onderhoud je je gebit. Doodnormale persoonlijke hygiëne. Maar wat doe je aan je mentale hygiëne? Hoe zorg jij ervoor dat je teveel stress, spanning en burn-out voorkomt? Kan technologie daar bij helpen? Mentale hygiëne zou net zo normaal moeten zijn als tanden poetsen en handen wassen. We gaan in gesprek met Ralf Caers, Hoogleraar HRM aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven – hij is aan de telefoon – en Auteur van het boek Aan het roer van NV mezelf. Ook is Oscar Lausegger, Strategy Director Human Capital Management bij Oracle, te gast. Samen met Oracle maken we elke maand een programma in de reeks Human Technology waarin we de invloed van technologie op mensen in hun werk bespreken.

“Blended” approaches to teaching and learning (sometimes also called “hybrid”) combine in-class discussion and activities with a substantial proportion of online course delivery. Done well, blended courses can combine the best of online and on-campus pedagogy, improve student learning outcomes, provide flexibility for non-traditional students, and even save institutions on classroom space and operating costs. To really maximize flexibility for students, about a dozen institutions are pilot-testing “HyFlex” courses, which allow students to seamlessly shift between attending class in person, joining in synchronously online, or catching the class asynchronously later – and they can change their mind, fluidly, from day to day. HyFlex courses might just be the best way to ensure academic continuity in the face of campus disruptions, whether floods, wildfires, earthquakes, or even… global pandemics. This week, Ken Steele sits down (via Zoom) with Dr Jenni Hayman, Chair of Teaching & Learning at Cambrian College (in Sudbury Ontario), to learn more.   The goal of HyFlex course design is to give students access to equivalent learning experiences, whether in-person, synchronous or asynchronous. There are “affordances” to each mode of delivery: in-person and synchronous learning provides immediacy, access to body language and conversational interaction. Asynchronous learning allows students to pace themselves, reflect more, and participate online if they are uncomfortable doing so in class. Giving students choices allows them to accommodate changing life needs, from work or childcare responsibilities to inclement weather or self-isolation. Choice also helps motivate adult learners, empowering them and engaging them more.   Hyflex learning design starts with learning outcomes, with thought to encouraging active learning and authentic assessment. Only then does the HyFlex teacher start to think about technology and delivery modes, and the different activities that can happen in different spaces. How live on-campus students interact with online students depends on the approach of the faculty member, who needs to juggle the needs of three audiences simultaneously. At a minimum, all the students will share an asynchronous LMS shell, and ideally the students will support each other and help each other learn. “Leveraging the learners is where the gold is,” Jenni observes.   The challenge for faculty developing and delivering effective HyFlex courses is (naturally) finding enough time for planning, for the technology learning curve, and for maximizing use of the LMS.  Hyflex takes as least as much time and effort to plan as a fully asynchronous online course. Jenni is really appreciative of the Cambrian faculty members who have been partnering with the Teaching & Learning Innovation Hub, who are open-minded and eager experimenters with pedagogy like HyFlex.   HyFlex is still a relatively new delivery method. In addition to Cambrian, there are 8 US institutions pioneering HyFlex: Ohio State University, University of Denver (University College), University of Michigan, Montana State University Billings, San Francisco State University, University of St Thomas (Minnesota), and Peirce College (Philadelphia), and Delgado Community College (Louisiana). Internationally, HyFlex is also being used at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium.   At Cambrian, 3 of the 4 HyFlex programs are graduate certificates, which appeal both to working Canadians and to international students. (The former find distance learning more flexible, but immigration requirements demand that the latter study in-person on campus.)   For successful HyFlex delivery, institutions need to think through the learner experience and the experimental mode of teaching, and ensure that there are adequate supports and expertise in place to help faculty and students alike. The most important thing we are learning right now, Jenni observes, is “digital red-lining.” Many community college students do not have access at home to broadband internet or modern computers for effective online learning. Many programs and students at community college also need face-to-face, hands-on vocational learning opportunities. The students will need additional support, encouragement and care to be successful online.   Thank you to Cambrian's marketing office, for providing stock video footage to help illustrate this interview.   An even bigger thank you to University College at the University of Denver, for generously allowing us to use excerpts from their video, "Hyflex Lab at University College," to provide a really helpful look at a HyFlex class in action.

Spraakmaker en oud-ambassadeur in China Ed Kronenburg en Goos Hofstee (Clingendael) vertellen over de oplopende spanning tussen landen tijdens de coronacrisis. Hoe zorg je ervoor dat de diplomatieke kanalen openblijven? In het Mediaforum zitten Ronald Ockhuysen en Margriet Brandsma. En met Giselinde Kuipers, hoogleraar sociologie Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, praten we over humor in coronatijd. Zij onderzoekt humor samen met tientallen collega’s uit de hele wereld, ook in tijdens tegenspoed. Zij verzamelden al tienduizenden grappen.

Gesprek met prof.dr. Rob Faesen, verbonden aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en Tilburg University over mystiek en mystieke theologie.

Onderwijs, een onderzoeksdomein dat wordt gedomineerd door pedagogen en sociologen. Toch kan men ook de economische methode hierop toepassen: doelstelling vooropzetten, resultaten en impact meten, alternatieven vergelijken, en oorzakelijke verbanden zoeken. Het maximaliseren van menselijk kapitaal in al haar vormen, of andere onderwijsdoelstellingen die publiek, politiek of maatschappelijk worden gekozen. In de veertiende aflevering van Itinera Talks gaat Simon Ghiotto samen met Kristof De Witte, onderwijseconoom, hoogleraar aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en visiting fellow van Itinera, dieper in op de staat en de toekomst van ons onderwijs. Sprekers: Simon Ghiotto & Kristof De Witte Over deze podcast: Itinera Talks is de tweewekelijkse podcast van de Belgische onafhankelijke denktank Itinera. Gastheer Simon Ghiotto ontleedt er samen met de experten van Itinera de belangrijkste maatschappelijke en politieke uitdagingen die op ons afkomen.

Thomas De Raedt, MSE, Ph.D., is a leading cancer researcher and an Investigator at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Center for Childhood Cancer Research . Dr. De Raedt joined CHOP from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow. He earned his Master’s degree in Engineering of Cell and Gene Biotechnology from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, in Leuven, Belgium and his Ph.D. in Medical Sciences at the same institution in the Lab of Dr. Eric Legius, working on Neurofibromatosis type I. In this conversation, we discuss the state of cancer research in America, controversies over the direction of that research and the specific work he is doing in his lab. It was an honor to have the conversation with someone at the cutting edge of cancer research.

Show #566   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 30th August 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Thank you to new PRODUCER RAJ BADWAL   BMW LAUNCHES THE NEW X5 XDRIVE45E With the market launch of the new BMW X5 xDrive45e, the drive portfolio of the Sporty Activity Vehicle (SAV) is now being expanded to include a plug-hybrid system. The second generation of the BMW X5 with electrified drive combines a model-specific in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology with the very latest BMW eDrive technology. With an electrically powered range of 67 to 87 kilometres in the new WLTP test cycle. The combustion engine and electric motor deliver their power to an 8-speed Steptronic transmission of the latest generation and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive. In this way, the drive torque is transferred to all four wheels when driving on electric power alone as well as when using the combustion engine or indeed both drive units.   Money-saving: Electric driving in urban areas is cheaper than using petrol or diesel if the plug-in hybrid vehicle is charged at home or at the workplace at low cost.   Braking is winning: The battery is charged under braking. In conventional vehicles, braking generates only heat and brake dust.   The best of both worlds: Plug-in hybrids provide electric driving pleasure in urban areas and classical BMW driving pleasure over longer distances.   Better quality of life in cities: By driving on electric power, users can actively contribute to reducing emissions and traffic noise in cities.   PEUGEOT 3008 HYBRID4 DETAILS ANNOUNCED "Peugeot has revealed details of its forthcoming plug-in hybrid - the 3008 GT Hybrid4 - which will feature a range of up to 36 miles on a single charge." reports Chris for Next Green Car:"The new SUV features a 13.2 kWh battery, powering two electric motors, which combine with a 200hp 1.6-litre petrol engine to produce 300hp (220kW). As such, the 0-60mph time is just 5.9 seconds, thanks in part to the all-wheel drive system and eight-speed EAT8 automatic transmission."   https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8738/peugeot-3008-hybrid4-details-announced/   TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID CAUGHT TESTING AND TOWING BY SPY PHOTOGRAPHERS "T add Toyota may be planning to soon add a plug-in hybrid version of the new RAV4. Spy photographers for our sister site, MotorAuthority, recently caught a plug-in hybrid version of the RAV4 out testing on public roads overseas. The company has long been a laggard in the movement to sell plug-in vehicles. The only plug-in model it currently sells in the U.S. is the Prius Prime with 25 miles of electric range." according to Green Car Reports: "If the plug-in hybrid uses the same 8.8-kilowatt-hour battery as the Prius Prime, it would likely get far short of the Prius Prime's 25-mile electric range. Although there might be more packaging potential for fitting a larger battery under the floor of the tall crossover. The closest competitors to the RAV4 today are the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which has a 22-mile electric range, and the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid, which is rated at 26 miles."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124719_toyota-rav4-plug-in-hybrid-caught-testing-and-towing-by-spy-photographers   TESLA ROLLS OUT KEY FOB SECURITY UPDATE FOR MODEL S TO ADDRESS RISKS OF CLONING "Last year, a Tesla Model S key fob was hacked by a team led by Lennert Wouters of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (KU Leuven). In the most recent example of their dedication to security, a Bug Bounty find from April this year is now being patched via an over-the-air (OTA) update in 2019.32. The security flaw enabled would-be car thieves to clone a fob in less than two seconds, after which the vehicle could be driven off. Tesla subsequently offered a multi-part fix: PIN to Drive, a software update, and a new fob." Says Teslarati.   “We’ve begun to release an over-the-air software update (part of 2019.32) that addresses this researcher’s findings and allows certain Model S owners to update their key fobs inside their car in less than two minutes. We believe that neither of these options would be possible for any other automaker to release to existing owners, given our unique ability to roll out over-the-air updates that improve the functionality and security of our cars and key fobs,” Tesla said in a statement to Wired.   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-key-fob-cloning-security-update-ota-software/   TESLA SECURES EXEMPTION FROM 10% CHINESE AUTO TAX AFTER MUSK'S VISIT "Tesla CEO Elon Musk just returned from a multi-day trip to China. According to Bloomberg, the CEO struck a deal that will make Tesla exempt from China's 10-percent automotive sales tax." according to sources at InsideEVs: "Traditionally, China's domestic automakers are able to get such a tax exemption, but foreign automakers haven't been so lucky. Essentially, moving forward, all Tesla vehicles sold in China will qualify for the exemption. It's important to note that the country's ministry has verified this information on its website, though Tesla has yet to comment on the situation. "   https://insideevs.com/news/368080/tesla-exempt-china-10-percent-car-tax/   TESLA TO UNLOCK EXTRA RANGE AND FREE SUPERCHARGING FOR CARS IN HURRICANE DORIAN’S PATH "As gas stations in Florida ran out of fuel due to long lines of car owners rushing in to fill up their vehicles before Hurricane Dorian makes landfall, Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla will offer free Supercharging services and unlock more range for vehicles that are on Dorian’s path. By doing so, Tesla will be able to provide some help to owners who are traveling to escape the upcoming storm." writes Simon at Teslarati: "Amidst Florida’s preparations, a number of gas stations across the state have started experiencing shortages as residents flocked to fill up their vehicles. Images and videos from social media show long lines of vehicles lining up to get gas, as well as stations running out of petrol to sell. Gas shortages have hit West Palm Beach the hardest, with 50% of the stations in the area running out of fuel as of 9 a.m. Friday."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-unlocks-free-supercharging-extra-range-hurricane-dorian/   PURCHASE OF 125 NEW ELECTRIC TAXIS WORTH OVER £7MILLION Sherbet London today announced the purchase of 125 new electric taxis from the London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC). The first 50 cabs, all manufactured in the UK were delivered earlier in August, with the remaining 75 entering service in the next few months. This takes the size of Sherbet’s fleet up to 225 taxis, and is another step towards the aim of expanding its fleet to over 1,000 vehicles over the next three years.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week.   Asking current EV drivers, how often do you charge and why?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 246 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat en Instagram zijn moderne sociale media waarmee mensen snel allerlei informatie kunnen uitwisselen. En dat niet alleen: ook politici en grote denkers, non-profit organisaties en commerciële bedrijven maken er gebruik van om hun ideeën en producten onder de aandacht te brengen. In dat opzicht hebben ze een deel van de functie en rol overgenomen van gedrukte media. In het begin van de zestiende eeuw hebben we eenzelfde mediatransitie gezien. Rond 1450 had Gutenberg het drukken met losse letters uitgevonden en na een halve eeuw was zijn vinding volwassen geworden. Voor het eerst konden geleerden, politici en geletterde burgers in hoog tempo hun ideeën verspreiden, op veel grotere schaal dan in brieven of handgeschreven boeken. Beide media ontwikkelden zich in circa vijftig jaar tot krachtige jongvolwassenen, met een eigen vorm. Op de tentoonstelling Conn3ct die komende zomer te zien zal zijn in de Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience, wordt aan de hand van negen thema’s getoond hoezeer de werking van het boek in de vroege zestiende eeuw overeenkomt met de impact van de huidige sociale media. Luther publiceerde korte pamfletten die snel gemaakt en verspreid konden worden om zijn ideeën te verspreiden, Trump stuurt vele twitterberichten om zijn overtuigingen bekend te maken. In haar lezing gaat Marieke van Delft in op de achtergronden van deze vernieuwend en interactieve tentoonstelling. Ze vertelt hoe deze tot stand gekomen is en bespreekt de inhoudelijke thema’s en illustreert ze aan de hand van allerlei voorbeelden de opvallende overeenkomsten in impact en bereik tussen twee massamedia uit zeer verschillende tijden. Marieke van Delft studeerde Geschiedenis en Boekwetenschap aan de universiteiten van Amsterdam en Leiden. In 2014 promoveerde zij in de Cultuurgeschiedenis aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven op het proefschrift Van wiegendruk tot worldwide web waarvan in 2016 een handelseditie verscheen bij de Walburg pers. Zij werkt als conservator bij de Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den haag. Vanuit die functie coördineert zij enkele boekhistorische kennisdiensten zoals Bibliopolis, de Short-Title Catalogue Netherlands en de watermerken database WILC. Zij publiceert over de geschiedenis van het gedrukte boek in Nederland in de verschillende eeuwen. Afgelopen jaar was zij een van de eindredacteuren van de facsimile van het Surinameboek van Maria Sibylla Merian (Lannoo en KB, 2016). Bovendien was ze werkpakketleider inhoud van de tentoonstelling Conn3ct die van 22.06.2017 tot 17.09.2017 te zien was in de Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience.

The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs and the Department of Sociology, Anthropology & Media Studies at AUB Held a Lecture The Politics of Asylum Flows and Syrian Refugees in Turkey: A Question of Inclusion and Exclusion with Sebnem Koser Akcapar Associate Professor of Sociology, Koç University, Istanbul Since 2011, Turkey started to receive the first refugees from Syria fleeing the eruption of violence. Since then, the civil war escalated in Syria and Turkey has become the country hosting the highest number of refugees in the world, with 3 million Syrians, and half a million other nationalities mainly from Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. There are three important factors that are usually overlooked in the flows of Syrian refugees. The first one is about the diversity of the Syrian refugee population in Turkey. They come from different socio-economic, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The second point has to do with their areas of settlement as 92 percent of all Syrians in Turkey live in urban centers. This literally means that in everyday life Syrian and Turkish nationals are in close contact with each other either in these neighborhoods they reside or in the workplaces. Yet, there are no proper integration regimes in place even after six years of living together. The third one is about their legal status. Although most of them are under temporary protection regime introduced in 2013, they are still not considered as ‘refugees’ due to Turkey’s upholding of the geographical limitation clause in the 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugees. Taking case studies from female-headed households and traditional families with multiple children, from single women to gays, this article will focus on different strategies adopted by Syrian refugees living in various cities in Turkey and the gendered perspective in forced migration. We will also discuss evident racism, exclusion, and social problems experienced in the urban areas. Sebnem Koser Akcapar is currently working as Associate Professor at the Sociology Department, Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey. She is also the founding Director of Center for Asian Studies (KUASIA) at Koç University. After completing her PhD at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium on the role of social networks in facilitating irregular migrant flows and the survival strategies in transit countries, she moved to the USA where she worked as a post-doc visiting fellow for two years at the Institute for the Study of International Migration, Georgetown University.

De Balkan kent een woelige geschiedenis en de inwoners van dit stukje Europa worstelen nog dagelijks met hun beladen verleden. De Joegoslavische burgeroorlog, die in de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw woedde, betekende behalve een gedeeld trauma ook nieuwe landsgrenzen. Zeven naties zagen het levenslicht: Slovenië, Kroatië, Macedonië, Montenegro, Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, en afhankelijk van wie je het vraagt: Kosovo. Wat is er nog over van de hoop en verwachtingen van die tijd? En hoe kijkt de naoorlogse generatie daar naar? In deze Zomer Express dalen we af naar Zuidoost-Europa met slavist Peter Vermeersch, verbonden aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in België. (Foto: AFP PHOTO/ARMEND NIMANI)

Dr Amant talks about a follow up study on children whose mothers were treated with chemotherapy during their pregnancy. Talking at the 1st Cancer and Pregnancy Meeting in Milan, Dr Amant addresses preconceived notions about the effects of chemotherapy on the development on the foetus and during the development after birth. The results from this study also address the question whether or not treatment to the mother should be delayed.

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven’s Len Sassaman and independent researcher Meredith L. Patterson spoke at Dartmouth on February 17, 2011. They discussed the craft of finding weaknesses in computer programs and systems and how this is taught, including how classic case studies in software vulnerabilities can be reduced to familiar principles of the formal languages and computation theory and the implications of this reduction for the future of the current Internet protocols and the design of new secure ones.

This workshop is the culmination of a two-year project examining the roles that California and the European Union play in defining the forefront of domestic and international environmental policy solutions.  The goal of the project is to produce concrete, actionable policy recommendations to further regulatory cooperation between the EU, California and the US on transatlantic environmental issues, including climate change, chemicals policy, biosafety, water regulation, and biodiversity protection. As socioeconomic and environmental issues become increasingly integrated, innovative policy solutions are required to identify and address the complex nexus between society and environment.  The project has developed a network of representatives from the US and the EU in academia, industry, the NGO-sector, and government.
