Shortlisted candidates for BAPS 2022 Best Master Thesis Award announced
Written by Tim Vantilborgh 10.01.2022
The BAPS executive committee (EC) has now made a shortlist for the 2022 Best Master Thesis award. We received 26 applications (9 KU Leuven, 5 UGent, 4 UC Louvain, 3 ULB, 3 VUB, 1 ULiège, 1 UMons) from a wide range of subdisciplines in psychology (e.g., social, developmental, organizational, clinical, cognitive, educational and health psychology, neuroscience, psycholinguistics). Various members of the EC who have a background in diverse areas of psychology read the summary of the applications except those from their own university. Each application was evaluated by five EC members.
Based on their evaluations, the EC selected three applications that will now be evaluated by an external jury. The shortlisted candidates are:
Pauline Billaux (UCL), Title: "How do you really feel – now? An investigation of the validity of the heartbeat counting task in binge drinking and severe alcohol use disorder". Promotor: Prof. Pierre Maurage
Elodie Kox (ULB), Title: "A neuroscientific approach to prison experience: Influence of detention on the sense of agency and empathy for pain among inmates". Promotors: Prof. Axel Cleeremans & Prof. Emilie Caspar
Hélène Van Marcke (UGent), Title: "The development of shared syntactic representations in bilinguals: Influence of second language proficiency in comprehension?", Promotor: Prof. Dr. Robert J. Hartsuiker
The winner will be announced at our annual meeting in Leuven on Friday 3rd of June 2022.
Also this year, the quality of the application was very high. The EC therefore wants to congratulate each and every applicant for their excellent work. As an association that promotes psychological science in Belgium, we can only be delighted to see that our junior psychological scientists are performing at such high scientific level.

1 year surgery anniversary! Just wanting to thank all of you – again! Doing great!
Thank you for all you do to keep my family well! We appreciate your kindness, compassion, and expertise, and are so grateful to have found you as our, what we call, "family surgeon." We deeply appreciate you!
Thanks for taking care of me & giving me hope of no more migraines.
Thank you just doesn't convey the gift that you have given to our family. You brought joy and hope where it never existed. You lifted the darkness of depression and the pain of griping anxiety. You brought the sound of my daughters' laughter to our home. You saved the lives of my precious daughters, Amanda and Sara. My thankfulness and gratitude for you can't be described. I will continue to pray for you, Dr. VanSickle and thank God for you everyday for the rest of my life.
May God protect you and guide you always.


Alan Silfen/Courtesy of JCPenneyHe announced it back in May, and now you can buy it: Lionel Richie's home collection with JCPenney.
Lionel's collection includes bedding, throw pillows and bath towels, in a color palette that includes black, navy, tan, baby blue, gold and gray. The towels are available in a six-piece set for $80, while prices for everything else range from $50 for two pillow shams to $260 for three-piece comforter sets.
Having recently wrapped his Las Vegas residency All the Hits, Lionel will return to ABC's American Idol as a judge in 2019.

Q: React-Dnd: drop function not firing in useDrop() I have a ticket component which contains some data that should be transferred into another place at the database.
const [{ isDragging }, dragref] = useDrag(() => ({
        type: ItemType.TICKET,
        item: {
            // data that should be transferred
        },
        collect: (monitor) => ({
            isDragging: monitor.isDragging(),
        }),
    }));

unfortunately the drop handler in the target component doesnt fire when I drop the item on it.
const [{ isOver, canDrop }, dropref] = useDrop(() => ({
        accept: ItemType.TICKET,
        collect: (monitor) => ({
            isOver: monitor.isOver(),
            canDrop: monitor.canDrop(),
        }),
        hover: (item, monitor) => {
             // works fine and prints the correct data
             console.log(item);
             console.log(monitor.canDrop()) // true
        },
        drop: (item) => console.log(item), // <---- doesn't work somehow
    }));

Want I absolutely don't understand is, why the hover listener in the useDrop Hook works absolutely fine, but the drop listener doesnt.
First I though that some other onDrop or onDragOver-Listener (from when I did not used react-dnd) might interrupt it but even after deleting every single onDragOver and onDrop Listener the listener doesnt fire.
Note: ofc I surrounded everything with the DndProvider and the HTML5Backend. On a whole other part of the app both hooks work just as expected. I am using react-dnd 16.0.0

A: I encountered the same issue and after spending some time testing and comparing the working parts v.s. non-working parts. I found that it was because I have <img> elements in those non-working parts. As long as the cursor starts with the <img> elements, the drop will never be fired. So solve this, you have to add draggable="false" to those <img> elements.
Hope it helps.

Three Rawhide Knot Browband Horse Headstall is rated 3.80 out of 5 by 6.
I love the quick release! Fits my Tennessee Walker perfect!
I was disappointed to find the light leather headstall has burgundy colored rawhide. From the photo I thought the rawhide was a chocolate brown.
I bought this headstall as a work bridle bit after receiving it the quality was very good so I am using it as a competition bridle instead. Very soft & thick!
I ordered these thinking I would be getting th same headstalls, we had received in the past. Â WRONG! Â We are ver disappointed. They changed them to one ear, & we don't like them at all!
I am very pleased with the headstall and reins. Can hardly wait to be able to order the "Cowboy Prayer" spurs. Hope it is soon!!


This large detached villa is situated in an elevated position with wonderful views over Brodick Bay. The property is split level, on the lower ground floor there are two large double bedrooms both with windows overlooking the front garden between them is a shower room with modern fixtures and fittings and a corner shower cubicle.
On the upper level, there is an entrance porch which leads to the kitchen and on to the dining room from which you can access by sliding glazed doors the extremely spacious lounge, the lounge has front facing windows and a panoramic view of Brodick Bay. From the internal upper hall there are three double bedrooms, two of which have front facing windows with views over Brodick Bay. There is a family bathroom and large linen/storage cupboard. A few steps down from the dining room there is a conservatory which is south facing and has a door leading to the rear garden.


To address this vulnerability, starting in 2014 Peisert and his collaborators—who include Ciaran Roberts (Berkeley Lab), Anna Scaglione (Arizona State University), Alex McEachren (Power Standards Laboratory), Chuck McParland (Berkeley Lab retiree), and Emma Stewart (now with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)—embarked on a series of projects that take a unique approach to grid security by integrating traditional computer security and safety engineering techniques. Their ultimate goal was to develop a security monitoring and analysis framework that enhances resiliency of the grid system.
Toward this end, their current project has focused on designing and implementing an architecture that can detect cyber-physical attacks on the power distribution system network. To do this they are using micro phasor measurement units (µPMUs) to capture information about the physical state of the power distribution grid. They then combine this data with SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition, commonly used in electric grid monitoring) information to provide real-time feedback about system performance.
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used to measure the electrical state of the power grid and provide situational awareness to transmission system operators. Typically installed at high-voltage substations, PMUs are considered an important measurement device in power systems, providing snapshots of the power network at a much higher rate than SCADA by calculating and reporting voltage and current phasors (a complex number that represents the magnitude and phase angle of the of sinusoidal waves that characterize AC electrical networks).
However, PMUs have some characteristics—namely size and cost—that limit their deployment at the distribution grid level. This is where µPMUs come in. Developed at Power Standards Lab under a project led by UC Berkeley and funded by the Department of Energy's ARPA-E program, µPMUs are designed to increase situational awareness at the distribution level. Because they are much smaller and potentially less expensive, multiple µPMUs can be deployed at points along the distribution grid, providing a much higher resolution (120 measurements/sec) of the grid and alerting operators to potential attacks on that grid in real time.
To make this happen, the research team employed a modified version of the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) algorithm, first introduced in 1954, for sequential analysis of the data and automated anomaly detection. The result is, in essence, a form of machine learning.
At present data is being collected from µPMUs placed in multiple locations around Berkeley Lab (which has its own power distribution substation) and analyzed using a compute cluster and a web presence (powerdata.lbl.gov) the team set up specifically for this project.
As the R&D component of this project winds down, the team is preparing its final report and actively meeting with their industry partners and other utilities and power companies across the U.S. to introduce them to this unique grid security framework. They are also sharing their findings through presentations at events such as the EPRI Power Delivery & Utilization Winter 2018 Program Advisory & Sector Council Meeting, held in February in San Diego, and the OSIsoft PI World Users Conference in April.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Data Link Solutions, (DLS), a joint venture of BAE Systems and Rockwell Collins, and a supplier of military Link 16 communication solutions, has successfully fulfilled an obligation to support Canada's Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy. DLS support of the Canadian Forces CF-18 modernization program has aided the IRB initiative to ensure that Canadian industry benefits from government defense and security procurement.
In working with Canadian industry, DLS has developed Canadian partnerships that will provide long-term benefits to Canadians by utilizing a combination of in-country component purchases, university research and development projects, the establishment of a local scholarship fund, and other investments.
The establishment of a repair facility for Link 16 products will generate Canadian jobs, while scholarships and research and development projects will encourage students to develop skills in aircraft electronics design and maintenance. Investments in Canadian Light Source, Canada's national synchrotron research facility in Saskatoon, Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Dalhousie University in Halifax and the College of the North Atlantic in Newfoundland and Labrador, reflect DLS's commitment to benefit all regions of Canada.
DLS and its parent companies, BAE Systems and Rockwell Collins, continually work to bring back value to the Canadian economy with each contract awarded to them. To date, DLS has met or exceeded all industrial benefit commitments, anywhere in the world where it does business.

Vietnam – A potential Trade War Winner?
The trade dispute between the two biggest economies in the world is expected to create impacts on the economies of other nations including Vietnam.
The Southeast Asian nation has been touted as a possible winner in the U.S.-China trade war because of its low cost of manufacturing. Vietnam clearly wields a slew of advantages over its rivals in the race to lure companies looking for alternative sites.
Among 7 emerging Asian countries, Vietnam was ranked No.1 as manufacturing destination, according to Natixis SA. The ranking was based on several factors including demographics, wages and electricity costs, rankings in doing business and logistics, and manufacturing as a share of total foreign direct investment.

Production workers in Vietnam are paid an average of 216 U.S dollars a month, less than half what their peers get in China. Thanks to government subsidies, electricity is also cheaper at 7 U.S cents per kilowatt hour compared with 10 U.S cents for Indonesia and 19 U.S cents for the Philippines, according to GlobalPetrolPrices.com's June data. Vietnam also has one of the largest labor forces in Southeast Asia, at 57.5 million. That compared with 15.4 million for Malaysia and 44.6 million for the Philippines, according to the World Bank.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc is taking advantage of trade tensions to boost the nation's profile as a manufacturing and export powerhouse, selling everything from shoes to smartphones. Trade accounts are about twice its gross domestic products – more than any country in Asia apart from Singapore. He said he is confident that growth will reach the higher end of the government's forecast range of 6.6 percent to 6.8 percent this year. He also vowed to keep the Vietnamese Dong stable in 2019.
Vietnam is one of the most active countries to participate in free trade agreements (FTA) in the world. Up until August 2018, Vietnam has signed 12 FTAs and 4 Agreements are in the negotiation round.
Vietnam's proximity to China also adds to its appeal. The two share a land border, compared with countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia which are all much further away.
Chinese companies that need raw materials or product components from the U.S will find it easier to source these goods via Vietnam. Vietnam is China's largest trading partner in Southeast Asia as the two nations become more central in each other's production chains.
The U.S – China trade war might have not benefited Vietnam in a "big way" yet but "It is now set to be kind of a China 2.0, for various reasons, and yeah, it's going to be benefiting and that's going to be long term", according to Rob Keopp, network director of the Economist Corporate Network on CNBC.


The Bowman's Strategy Clock is a model that is often used in marketing environments. Its purpose is to help a company analyze and understand the competitive place that the company currently holds when compared to the things that their competitors offer. It has been thought that a competitive advantage is in direct relation to a cost advantage and it represents eight different strategies in four different quadrants. These rest along an axis of perceived added value and an axis of price. The shape that results is a star and it looks similar to a clock face which is where the name comes from.
This strategy uses these core options: low price& low added value; low price; hybrid; differentiation; focused differentiation; risky high margins; monopoly pricing; and loss of market share. By examining the different combinations of perceived value and cost, a company can start to pick a position of advantage that makes the most sense out of the company's ability. It is a great way to examine how to first establish and then sustain a position in a competitive market and economy. Once a company can understand the main positions of the Bowman's Strategy Clock, the company can look at their current strategy and see if there are any adjustments that could be made in order to improve their chances of success.
The Bowman's Strategy Clock PowerPoint comes with the star shaped clock set up for you. It sits on the two axes that need to be determined in order to figure out the information above.


What does it take to deliver a bid-winning temporary power solution? In the case of our recent project at a phase III gas plant, the answer is: 2 designs, 5 vendors including Trinity Power, and 8 equipment locations spread across North America.
Our client for this project has been providing electrical and instrumentation services in Western Canada since 2003. Specializing in services that range from automation and controls system maintenance to plant expansions and upgrades, the company prides itself on the quality of the service they provide to their clients.
One of those clients needed to commission the backup system for their nearly-completed phase III gas plant in Northeastern BC. In order to do that, they needed a temporary power system that would enable them to load test two 10MW 4160V turbines. This was no simple task since there are only a few load banks in North America that can handle that kind of load.
We tied the two turbines into existing switchgear, running 200 feet of single conductor 5kV 500 MCM cable into a 1400A 5kV rated bus. From there, we had 3 more 100 foot lengths of 5kV 500 MCM cable running into each 4MVA 4160V resistive load bank.
We also supplied a 500kW 480V generator, complete with distribution and cabling, to feed the required 200A 480V shore power for each load bank.
Thanks to Trinity's extensive network and commitment to delivering the best temporary power system for the job, this far-ranging solution is in place, ensuring that the plant's commissioning is underway and on schedule.
