From the 1920s on, popular music in Southeast Asia was a mass-audience phenomenon that drew new connections between indigenous musical styles and contemporary genres from elsewhere to create new, hybrid forms. This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular…

De Universiteit Leiden raakt steeds meer doordrongen van het belang van het thema diversiteit en inclusiviteit, maar er is nog veel ruimte voor verbetering. Dat is de hoofdboodschap uit het eerste jaarverslag van de Klankbordgroep Diversiteitsbeleid, dat op 15 februari aan vicerector Hester Bijl werd…

In zonnige omstandigheden volbrachten 44 teams afgelopen weekend de Leiden Science Run. Ze haalden maar liefst 3450 euro op voor het goede doel: vluchteling-studentenstichting UAF.

Aleydis Nissen geeft tekst en uitleg bij haar nieuwe boek 'The European Union, Emerging Global Business and Human Rights'.

Ecoloog Rosaleen March van het Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden doet onderzoek naar functionele biodiversiteit: een maatstaf om waarde toe te kennen aan ecosystemen. Na haar eerdere Marie Curie co-financiering, ontvangt ze nu een volledige Marie Curie fellowship. March: ‘We moeten weten wat de…

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

By training with virtual opponents known as computer generated forces (CGFs), trainee fighter pilots can build the experience necessary for air combat operations, at a fraction of the cost of training with real aircraft.

High-angular-resolution observations of the circumstellar material have uncovered numerous and very diverse substructures in protoplanetary discs, raising the question of whether they are caused by forming planets or other mechanisms.

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

The unit residue group, to which the present thesis is devoted, is defined using the norm-residue symbol, which Hilbert introduced into algebraic number theory in 1897.

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Including modelling as part of software development appears to have various benefits.

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are a large and diverse class of relatively understudied transmembrane proteins.

My work focuses on a class of astronomical objects called protoplanetary disks.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a maintenance policy that uses the past, current, and prognosticated health condition of an asset to predict when timely maintenance should occur.

The glycosylation reaction is a pivotal reaction in creating new and complex oligosaccharides.

The endocannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R are involved in a plethora of processes, and consequently are involved in many pathological conditions. Their wide distribution makes the CBRs both an interesting therapeutic target and hard to study.

The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

This PhD-thesis presents a study on micron-sized particles, so-called colloids. By controlling the chemical and physical properties of these particles, such as the interparticle interaction and the particles’ shape, colloids can act as building blocks that self-assembly into larger structures.

In this thesis an activity-based probe was discovered that could visualize the activity of PLAATs. With an optimized gel-based ABPP assay in hand, screening of a compound library led to the discovery of alpha-ketoamides as a hit for PLAAT3.

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

In order to be able to develop effective medicine and treatments to prevent or cure autoimmune diseases or cancer we need to understand the mechanisms how they arise and what drives their course.Unravelling the fundamental molecular mechanisms influencing the onset and course of diseases such as allergies,…
