Evaluation study of the urban governance of the COVID-19 crisis in the city of Antwerp - BMC Public Health
The interviewees highlighted that the COVID-19 response in Antwerp was designed to meet the needs of different groups in the city in a variety of ways. In other words, higher-level policies, guidelines and tools were adapted to local needs. We present the findings following the adapted version of the risk management cycle.

Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) and its long-term effects on educational and labour market outcomes
Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) provision is associated with positive social and economic outcomes, both in the short and long term. These outcomes depend on policy decisions with regards to the number of hours that are offered, the age at which the entitlement starts, the type of ECEC care, and the costs for parents from various backgrounds.

Effect of trapping methods on the estimation of alpha diversity of a phlebotomine sandfly assemblage in southern Mexico
Abstract The aims of the study were to (a) investigate the effect of trapping methods on alpha diversity; and (b) enhance the knowledge of the sandfly assemblage in the state of Quintana Roo. Field work was undertaken in a tropical forest of southern Mexico from August 2013 to July 2014. Sampling was conducted monthly during three consecutive nights. For each trapping night, 12 different types of trap were operated from 18.00 to 24.00 hours in four transects.
A rocky planet transiting a nearby low-mass star
Abstract M-dwarf stars—hydrogen-burning stars that are smaller than 60 per cent of the size of the Sun—are the most common class of star in our Galaxy and outnumber Sun-like stars by a ratio of 12:1. Recent results have shown that M dwarfs host Earth-sized planets in great numbers1,2: the average number of M-dwarf planets that are between 0.5 to 1.5 times the size of Earth is at least 1.4 per star3.
