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.

Wij bestuderen de dagelijkse praktijk van individuen, groepen en gemeenschappen - zowel in Nederland als wereldwijd - om ze te plaatsen binnen de complexe processen van sociale en globale ontwikkeling. In Leiden zijn we gespecialiseerd in de gevolgen van globalisering op het gebied van milieu, sociale…

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,…

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.

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…

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

De auteurs presenteren een benadering voor het achterhalen van de voorkeuren van de bevolking voor gebruik in de optionele wegingstap in de Levenscyclusanalyse (LCA).

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…

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…

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

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.

Jan van den Berg heeft zij proefschrift op 8 november 2018 verdedigd.

The CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, is widely involved in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, no drugs for this receptor have made it to the pharmaceutical market yet.

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…

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

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).

The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a robust and adaptable scaffold for supramolecular polymer self-assembly in water.

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

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

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.

This thesis investigates the application of deep learning techniques in image analysis across various domains, focusing on four main themes: feature extraction, classification, segmentation, and integration, demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies.

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

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…
