  • Tallest Electricity Pylons in the Benelux Open for Viewing on Open Site Day
    MAY 17, 2019 Tallest electricity pylons in the Benelux open for viewing on Open Site Day ANTWERP – Belgium's system operator Elia is taking part in Open Site Day on Sunday. The general public will be able to learn about the Brabo project in the Port of Antwerp, where the tallest electricity pylons in the Benelux are currently being built. At a height of 192 metres, these pylons will be the tallest structures in the Antwerp skyline. The Brabo project aims to upgrade the high-voltage grid and improve the security of supply at the Port of Antwerp and in Belgium. The last major investments in the high-voltage grid at the Port of Antwerp were made in the 1970s. An update to the grid was vital to facilitate the port's growth. The project will also enable imports from the Netherlands to increase. After the project has been completed, it will be possible to import 20% more electricity under ideal conditions. Finally, Elia's Brabo project will facilitate further integration into the European energy system. The second stage of the Brabo project at the Port of Antwerp is currently under way. The existing 150-kV high- voltage line is being renewed and upgraded to a 380-kV connection on the right bank in the Antwerp district of Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo and the municipality of Stabroek. For 90% of the way, the connection will follow the current route along the A12 between the high-voltage substations at Zandvliet and Lillo (near the Liefkenshoek tunnel). This means that the line must cross the Scheldt to Beveren, where it will be connected to the existing 380- kV connection.

  • Explaining the Varying Electoral Appeal of the Vlaams Blok in the Districts of Antwerp
    Explaining the varying electoral appeal of the Vlaams Blok in the Districts of Antwerp Peter Thijssen and Sarah L. de Lange SUMMARY. The Vlaams Blok (now Vlaams Belang) has been among the more successful of Europe’s far-right parties. But there is still a good deal of statisti- cal analysis which might be done to help identify the factors in their success. This study looks at the best available data from electoral returns in the nine dis- tricts of Antwerp, which has been the locus of the Vlaams Blok’s support. A sta- tistical comparison is made between various social and economic factors, and the level of support for Vlaams Blok in an attempt to identify significant corre- lations. INTRODUCTION Since their resurgence in the 1980s, far-right parties in Western Europe have received a great deal of attention from the scholarly community. Many theories have been formulated which might account for the elec- toral successes of these parties. For instance, we now have a fairly detailed sociological profile of the average extreme-right voter. Nonetheless, it remains a challenge to the discipline to explain inter- and intra-national variations in the support for far-right parties. This statistical study aims to fill in a part of the second lacuna, and to outline the varieties of far-right support at the local level. Through an analysis of both the demand for, and the supply of, far-right parties in (sub-)local elections, we believe we can gain a better understanding of the shadings of the support for far-right parties in general.

  • Influenza Epidemic Surveillance and Prediction Based on Electronic Health Record Data from an Out-Of-Hours General Practitioner
    Michiels et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2017) 17:84 DOI 10.1186/s12879-016-2175-x RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Influenza epidemic surveillance and prediction based on electronic health record data from an out-of-hours general practitioner cooperative: model development and validation on 2003–2015 data Barbara Michiels1*, Van Kinh Nguyen2,3, Samuel Coenen1,4,5, Philippe Ryckebosch1, Nathalie Bossuyt6 and Niel Hens5,7,8 Abstract Background: Annual influenza epidemics significantly burden health care. Anticipating them allows for timely preparation. The Scientific Institute of Public Health in Belgium (WIV-ISP) monitors the incidence of influenza and influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) and reports on a weekly basis. General practitioners working in out-of-hour cooperatives (OOH GPCs) register diagnoses of ILIs in an instantly accessible electronic health record (EHR) system. This article has two objectives: to explore the possibility of modelling seasonal influenza epidemics using EHR ILI data from the OOH GPC Deurne-Borgerhout, Belgium, and to attempt to develop a model accurately predicting new epidemics to complement the national influenza surveillance by WIV-ISP. Method: Validity of the OOH GPC data was assessed by comparing OOH GPC ILI data with WIV-ISP ILI data for the period 2003–2012 and using Pearson’s correlation. The best fitting prediction model based on OOH GPC data was developed on 2003–2012 data and validated on 2012–2015 data. A comparison of this model with other well-established surveillance methods was performed. A 1-week and one-season ahead prediction was formulated. Results: In the OOH GPC, 72,792 contacts were recorded from 2003 to 2012 and 31,844 from 2012 to 2015.

To provide information about this effect, the PLANHEAT integrated tool—which is a GIS-based, open- source software tool for selecting, simulating and comparing alternative low-carbon and economically sustainable H&C scenarios—includes a dataset of 1 × 1 km hourly heating and cooling degrees (HD and CD, respectively). HD and CD are energy demand proxies that are defined as the deviation of the outdoor surface air temperature from a base temperature, above or below which a building is assumed to need heating or cooling, respectively. PLANHEAT’s HD and CD are calculated from a dataset of gridded surface air temperatures that have been derived using satellite thermal data from Meteosat-10 Spinning Enhanced Visible and Near-Infrared Imager (SEVIRI).
