In februari 2014 werd in Zwitserland een constitutioneel initiatief over de begrensing van immigratie aangenomen. Deze begrensing moet gebeuren door middel van quota’s op het gebied van werk en nationale voorrang toe te passen.

Large areas of space are filled by molecular clouds that consist of gas and dust grains that are the remnants of dead stars. When these clouds start collapsing, the decreasing temperature and increasing density cause gas particles to start accreting onto dust grain surfaces.

Onder welke omstandigheden beperken paramilitaire groepen hun gebruik van politiek geweld? Dit artikel onderzoekt het gebruik hiervan door de PIRA.

Jaroslaw Kantorowicz and Rok Spruk onderzoeken de bijdrage van institutionele hervormingen aan economische groei.

This study seeks to analyse how job stress could be the result of performing administrative tasks

Om de klimaatcrisis het hoofd te bieden, kan een bepaalde nederigheid van de mens ten aanzien van de natuur van groot belang zijn. Tegelijkertijd kan nederigheid ook politieke overheersing in de hand werken. Hoe kunnen mensen zich op een bescheidener manier tot de natuur verhouden zonder hun vrijheid…

Dit artikel levert een bijdrage aan een groeiend aantal onderzoeken naar radicalisering. Het richt zich specifiek op het onderscheid tussen individuen die radicalisering en daardoor betrokken raken bij terroristisch geweld en individuen die radicaliseren maar niet betrokken raken bij geweld.

Op 30 september 2021 verdedigde Babette van Hazebroek haar proefschrift 'Understanding delinquent development from childhood into early adulthood in early onset offenders'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. J.W. de Keijser en prof. dr. A. Popma (VUMC).

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

The thesis describes experimental steps towards reduction of friction on the macroscopic scale by scenarios of thermo- and superlubricity well-known on the nanoscale.

Religion and ethnicity are inextricably linked in discourse within and about Central Asia. One common narrative suggests that as a result of differences between historically sedentary and nomadic populations, ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks are naturally more religious and more likely to radicalise than their…

A single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot in a high-finesse optical microcavity - the subject of this thesis - is an interesting quantum-mechanical system for future quantum applications. For instance, this system allows trapping of an extra electron and thus can serve as a spin quantum memory,…

In this thesis, I focused on studying the above- and belowground interactions of J. vulgaris from a plant-soil feedback (hereafter, PSF) perspective. I investigated the temporal variation of negative PSF and examined the effects of root-associated bacteria on plant performance and aboveground herbiv…

In this thesis, we aim to shed light on the diverse and often opposing roles of integrin α3β1 in cancer.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

The studies described in this thesis deal with glycosidases, in particular alpha-galactosidases.

This thesis focuses on the role of chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR2 in the inflammatory process and infection control using the zebrafish model.

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

By growing in a soil plants change the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil in which they grow.

Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

Self-assembly offers a promising route to create complex structures and materials using simple building blocks. Through, colloidal self-assembly, we can understand the governing principles of the self-assembly process and unlock its potential in diverse applications in materials science, photonics and…

Of all the mass in our Universe, 80% is thought to consist of a hypothetical and invisible substance called dark matter (DM).

Acute cardiovascular syndromes, including myocardial infarction or stroke, are the principal cause of death in the Western society. The main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, which is caused by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the vessel wall, in…

What physics controls the properties of quantum matter, such as how electrons flow inside high-temperature superconductors? This question has captivated the physics community and industry for decades, in part due to the great technological potential such materials have, but also because they have resisted…

Freshwater is an important resource, but at a great risk of species decline due to habitat loss, pollution and over-exploitation, and invasive alien species.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely tied to the cyclic feedback processes between stars and the interstellar medium (ISM).
