Aan de hand van de boekenserie General History of Africa (GHA) onderzocht promovenda Larissa Schulte Nordholt wat het betekent om de geschiedenis van Afrika te dekoloniseren. Dat bleek een moeizaam proces, waarbij politiek en financiën voor belemmeringen zorgden. Promotie 1 december.

Europese burgers worden geconfronteerd met uitdagingen op het gebied van globalisering, migratie, technologische ontwikkelingen en klimaatverandering. Deze uitdagingen vergen het uiterste van onderlinge internationale en intergenerationele solidariteit, wat rechtstreeks betrekking heeft op de grondslagen…

De eerste index om de veiligheid, duurzaamheid en circulariteit van producten te meten, waarmee ze het EU-kader (SSbD) operationaliseren.

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain several observed phenomena and is incomplete. In order to resolve this problem, one may extend the SM by adding new particles.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

Dynamical systems describe the evolution of objects in a space over time and may be used to model physical phenomena. Due to this, much research is dedicated to understanding the mathematics of dynamical systems.

This thesis comprises the development of reproducible synthesis procedures for two-dimensional materials (composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon) on different metallic surfaces.

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

De pedel Willem van Beelen ging op 29 februari met pensioen. Hoe blikt hij terug en wat zeggen ingewijden over hem?

Dit artikel biedt een systematisch literatuuronderzoek van de belangrijkste principes, normen en strategieën van Security by Design en Privacy by Design.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

This thesis advances automata learning, a key area in computer science, with applications in software verification, biological analysis, and autonomous technologies. It explores three main themes: first, it introduces a passive learning algorithm for generating compact probabilistic models from positive…

The work in this thesis describes the fundamental role of Lkb1 as a conductor of metabolism-related processes in zebrafish larvae.

It has been a long-standing mystery how complex biological structures emerge from such seemingly uncoordinated building blocks as cells and tissues, in the presence of only minimal environmental guidance.

OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

Van oorlogsmisdaden tot ontheemding. Historicus Gert Oostindie beschrijft de dekolonisatieoorlog door de ogen van de Nederlandse militairen die in Indonesië vochten. In een serie presentaties vertelt hij over het onderzoek dat gebaseerd is op gepubliceerde egodocumenten zoals dagboeken en memoires van…

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

The increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics necessitates the discovery of new medicines.

Mining time series is a machine learning subfield that focuses on a particular data structure, where variables are measured over (short or long) periods of time.

The PID-directed shift in PIN polarity has been broadly accepted as one of the essential mechanisms for the regulation of auxin transport polarity.

Autophagy is a fundamental degradative process, maintaining cellular homeostasis and functions in host defense against intracellular pathogens, including mycobacteria and Salmonella.

Plant architecture has distinct forms in different plant species, but also within a species the finalarchitecture of a plant is determined by its gradual development and changes therein induced by environmental conditions during the plant’s life cycle.
