Wat zijn de gevolgen van maatschappelijke trends zoals vergrijzing, individualisering en internationalisering voor regelgeving en instituties op het terrein van sociale zekerheid, pensioenen en de arbeidsmarkt?

Er wordt beweerd dat de EU dagelijks 5 pagina's met regelgeving publiceert, is deze bewering correct? Dimiter Toshkov geeft hier uitleg over bij BNR.

Elena Bondarouk, universitair docent aan de faculteit Governance and Global Affairs, is 27 augustus gepromoveerd met haar proefschrift over de lokale uitvoering van het EU-luchtkwaliteitsbeleid. Haar onderzoek is opgenomen in EuropaDecentraal.

In dit proefschrift wordt gekeken naar de produktie en consumptie van het reality-tv-programma ‘Nieuwe Wijze Oom’. Deze show, uitgezonden op het entertainmentkanaal van de provincie Shanghai, draait om mediation in conflicten tussen burgers. ‘Nieuwe Wijze Oom’ is geliefd bij het publiek én bij de autoriteiten.…

The ultimate goal of cosmologists is to find a cosmological model able to explain the current observational data.

In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

Improvements of weak gravitational lensing shape measurements are presented and some used for data analysis.

In vitro disease models play a fundamental role in drug research. They enable the systemic identification and validation of disease mechanisms and the discovery of possible drug targets. However, more than often, drug candidates that are identified in vitro fail in the later clinical stages of drug…

Een virtuele hand die voelt alsof het je eigen hand is. Je vrolijker voelen omdat een virtueel gezicht samen met jou glimlacht. Psycholoog Ke Ma ontdekte met virtual reality dat ons lichaamsgevoel flexibeler is dan gedacht. Ke Ma: ‘We kunnen fantastische applicaties bedenken.’

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

Radio jets are important to the evoultion of galaxies. However, it is still not fully understood how a radio jet can be triggered.

With the rise of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens, the possibility of a post-antibiotic world is quickly becoming reality.

Op donderdag 16 november 2017 heeft Lalin Kovudhikulrungsri haar proefschrift ‘The Right to Travel by Air of Persons with Disabilities’ verdedigd. Haar promotoren zijn Prof.dr. P.M.J. Mendes De Leon en Prof.mr.dr. A.C. Hendriks.

This thesis focuses on the application of lipid-based nanomedicine in drug delivery, including small molecular antitumor drugs and biomacromolecules including mRNA, and evaluates their biological performance.

Op 10 november 2021 verdedigde Carmel van Niekerk-Jacobs het proefschrift 'Realising the right to reproduce with assistance in South Africa'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. J.J. Sloth-Nielsen en prof.dr. T. Liefaard.

Electron microscopy has become an extremely important techniquein a wide variety of elds.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…

CrO2, a half-metal ferromagnet, has shown great promise for superconducting spintronics applications for nearly two decades.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

This thesis deals with the use of sound in interactions in the context of participatory systems and data sonification. We investigate an interactive environment where participants perceive information of the data through sound elements.

In this thesis, the discovery and optimization is described of chemical tools to study the N-acylethanolamine (NAE) biosynthetic pathway.

In recent decades, climate change has led to more frequent and severe drought events, causing serious consequences such as increased forest mortality and significant crop yield losses. Understanding how drought affects plants, especially economically important herbaceous species, is crucial for predicting…

This thesis is a collection of theoretical works aiming at adjusting quantum algorithms to the hardware of quantum computers.

Until the 1990s, the only known planets were those in our Solar System. Three decades later, several thousand exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the Sun, and substantial efforts have been made to explore these strange new worlds through spectroscopic analyses of their atmosphe…

This thesis described the development of novel scanning tunneling microscopy techniques to investigate strongly correlated electronic states in quantum matter.

This thesis describes the development of a variety of mannosylated conjugates. Antigen presenting cells bear mannoside recognizing receptors that actively transport antigen into the cell. This thesis exploits this feature for the development of improved vaccines.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that human macrophages can be induced to exert direct anti-tumor activity against osteosarcoma cells. Our observation that the induction of macrophage anti-tumor activity by L-MTP-PE required IFN-gamma may be of relevance for the optimization of L-MTP-PE therapy in…

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.

To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.
