A section of 6.10 m through the Deurne Sand Member (Diest Formation, Late Miocene) in Antwerpen (Antwerp) is described, which has been observed during the construction works of a new hospital building in the southern part of Deurne, and here called “Middelares Hospital Section” after that location. This temporary outcrop section can well be correlated with a similar one which was outcropping some 35 years ago, and was located at some 1.5 km to the NE. It was studied in detail by De Meuter et al. (1967), who called it the “Borgerhout-Rivierenhof VII B.R.” section. Since that section was the most relevant of the previously described sections in the Deurne Sand Member, it is here suggested to designate that section as stratotype for the member.

  • 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.

  • Title of Paper
    LOCK MANOEUVRES: PRACTICAL CASES IN EUROPE AND PANAMA K Eloot, Flanders Hydraulics Research, Ghent University, Belgium M Vantorre, Ghent University, Belgium J Verwilligen, Flanders Hydraulics Research, Belgium D Bus, R Cleeren and E Gheyle, Flemish Pilotage, Belgium E Veche, Station de Pilotage de Dunkerque, France E Heugen and J van Drongelen, Dutch Pilotage, the Netherlands R Salas, Panama Canal Pilots, Panama R Detienne, Brabo, Belgium SUMMARY Lock manoeuvres are daily practice for the ships in their approach to harbours worldwide. The experiences of five pilotages operating in Europe (Belgium, France and the Netherlands) and Panama are brought together in a paper describing the operation of pilots in the entrances to and in the locks. A division is made concerning locks with approach walls at one or both sides of the lock and locks without approach walls. The lock construction and the approach areas are described and compared for the locks in Panama, in Dunkirk (Charles de Gaulle lock), in Terneuzen (West lock) and in Antwerp (Berendrecht lock). Correspondence between the lock manoeuvres and the use of tugs can be recognised and shows that lock effects must be overcome by developing and maintaining a good strategy in pilotage which can be shared all over the world. 1. INTRODUCTION techniques are widely used by institutes as a research tool and by pilotages as a training tool. Transfer of Lock manoeuvres are daily practice for ships in their knowledge and expertise helps in defining the similarities approach to the Flemish harbours. The Berendrecht lock and differences between lock operations in Europe and – the largest lock in the world – receives Ultra Large Panama and how to speed up the accessibility issue Container Ships from the Mediterrean Shipping making use of the research results and the operational Company on their way to the Delwaide dock.
