KU Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Health Psychology Researchers: • Geert Verleden • Johannes Vlaeyen • Jan Tack • Lukas Van Oudenhove Respiratory hypo-algesia. The influence of slow, deep breathing on visceral pain sensitivity & modulation KU Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Health Psychology Researchers: • Johannes Vlaeyen • Ilse Van Diest • Lukas Van Oudenhove • Imke Courtois Respiratory Syncitial Virus immunology and molecular virology Ghent University Abstract: The ectodomain of the short hydrophobic protein (SHe) of Respiratory Syncytial virus will be used as a recombinant virus-like particle in prophylactic vaccination studies against this virus. The protective efficacy of SHe-specific adaptive immunity will be characterized in a mouse model. Using passive transfer of antisera and immune cells the mechanism of protection of this novel vaccine will be determined. Organisations: • Department of Biomedical molecular biology Researchers: • Xavier Saelens • Rudi Beyaert Responding to demographic challenges: capacity issues, amenities, sensible management (of claims) on scarce space in the context of a growing city. University of Antwerp Abstract: This project represents a formal research agreement between UA and on the other hand KVS. UA provides KVS research results mentioned in the title of the project under the conditions as stipulated in this contract. Organisations: • Center for Urban Development Researchers: • Tom Coppens • Maarten Van Acker Responding to the Signs of the Times: An Inquiry into the Trajectory ofFilipino Theology from Postcolonial to Transcolonial Theories KU Leuven Abstract: Given the complexity of Filipino religious consciousness in the contextof the ever-constant but ever-evolving call to Christian discipleship, we claim that, in the articulation of contemporary Filipino theology, the stress of transcolonial discourse on #non-forgetting# and #embodied re/membrance# [the metaphor of the cross] provides a welcome alternative to the ideas of #hybridity# and #subaltern# as found in postcolonial discourse. We unfold this thesis in mind as follows: 1) an investigation ofhow postcolonial discourse influenced Filipino theology via biblical studies, church dogmatic teachings and local narratives; 2) an appropriation of the metaphor of the holy eucharist as an anamnesis or embodied re/membrance in transcolonial discourse as a possible way of doing theologyin the Philippines; 3 ) a proposal to contextualize transcolonial discourse in Filipino theology as a framework for prophetic discipleship in the Philippines where the main ecclesiological thrust is the promotion Organisations: • Research Unit of Systematic Theology and Researchers: • Jacques Haers • N. N. Response Modulation in psychopathy: Attentional Modulation of Emotional Processing. Vrije Universiteit Brussel Abstract: Deviant emotional processing, such as impaired emotional responsiveness, is considered as a core feature of psychopathy1. Recently, the Response Modulation Theory (RMT) stated that this deficient emotional reactivity is caused by an attentional deficit2. When attention is focused on affective information, psychopathic individuals are able to respond adequately to emotional cues. However, they do not react adequately to emotional stimuli outside their attentional focus2. Until now, the empirical evidence for this account is limited. Therefore, the current project aims to investigate the specific circumstances in which emotional information fails to capture the attention. First, we will consolidate and extend the RMT predictions using an adapted picture-viewing and priming paradigm, adjusted to allow us to manipulate both the direction of attention and the emotional valence of the information. Second, we aim to identify the exact influence of reward and punishment on attentional and emotional processing. Third, we examine whether the nature of the emotional stimuli (e.g. threat to self or other) is crucial in the relation between attentional focus and emotional reactivity. In our project we use a multi-method approach, by recording behavioral and psychophysiological responses to measure emotional processing. In this way, we will contribute to important theoretical and clinical issues concerning emotional processing in incarcerated and non-incarcerated psychopathic individuals.

Both jurisdictions have passed laws and regulations and developed legal mechanisms for biodiversity conservation. However, biodiversity regimes in China and EU did not take into account the effects of climate change and are likely to fall short to adequately facilitate adaptation of species and ecosystems to climate change. This comparative legal research will focus on new developments to realize synergies between biodiversity conservation and climate change control in China and in the EU. Organisations: • Departement of International public law Researchers: • Frank Maes • An Cliquet Response of deep-sea biota to rapid global warming during the early Paleocene KU Leuven Abstract: Rapid climate change during the Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum (PETM)at 56 million years ago coincided with dramatic global changes amongst marine and terrestrial biota. The PETM, however, was not an entirely single and unique event, but it was part of a series of less severe transient global warming (hyperthermal) events, including the Latest Danian event (LDE). The LDE was first discovered by means of benthic foraminifera,unicellular organisms living on the seafloor, studies in Egypt and recently linked to deep-sea warming.In this project, the micropaleontologic record of climate change in the deep sea will be investigated by means of high-resolution quantitative benthic foraminiferal and stable isotope records. Stable isotopes are different forms of the same element that give information on the environment in the past. For instance, in colder ocean waters, more heavy calcium isotopes are incorporated into the calcite shell. The goals are to unravel systematic responses to environm Organisations: • Division of Geology Researchers: • Robert Speijer • Arne Deprez Response of fluvial processes and sediment dynamics to human impact and global change (Visiting scholar P. Billi, University of Ferrara) Ghent University Abstract: Natural rivers geomorphology and dynamics result from the interaction of two main factors: flow regime, controlled mainly by climatic factors, and sediment supply, controlled mainly by catchment physical properties and land use/cover. This project aims to study the river response in terms of sediment transport and channel morphology adjustments to human impact and desertification in both industrialised and developing countries.
