In september 2012 verscheen onder redactie van T. Bosch en L. Wessels het boek 'Nationalisme, naties en staten. Europa vanaf circa 1800 tot heden'. Dit fraai uitgegeven werk (704 blz.) is een product van de samenwerking tussen de Open Universiteit en Uitgeverij Vantilt.

Een twintigtal Nederlandse politicologen buigt zich over de oorzaken, gevolgen en vooruitzichten van het algemeen kiesrecht in Nederland. Liep Nederland voorop of juist achteraan bij de invoering van kiesrecht voor mannen en iets later voor vrouwen? Hoe hebben burgers de afgelopen eeuw gebruik gemaakt…

The main goal of this thesis is to achieve advanced control of binding properties in bis-pyrrolic and macrocyclic pyrrolic receptors by light.

De nieuwe regering in Nieuw-Zeeland tornt aan oude afspraken en verworven rechten van de Maori. In een brandbrief aan koning Charles vragen zij hem om hulp. Hoogleraar Wonu Veys vertelt er meer over bij OVT.

De Covid-19 pandemie heeft laten zien dat volksgezondheid niet altijd heilig is voor gelovige burgers. Er bestaat bij gelovigen een zekere spanning tussen de religieuze loyaliteiten en hun verantwoordelijkheid voor de volksgezondheid.

Het belang van literatuur voor het recht en de rechtsvinding is op uiteenlopende wijzen geduid. Door het lezen van literatuur leren wij de abstracte en levenloze categorieën, wetten en principes van het juridisch systeem te overstijgen. Dat zou noodzakelijk zijn, uit oogpunt van de rechtvaardigheid.

Het einde van politieke levens: hoe verlaat je de politiek?

In this course, we will focus on the fascinating history of the Arabic Medieval World. We will take you on a journey through the Middle Ages. All along, we will present you with historiographical debates and dilemmas and travel back and forth in time explaining to you how events of the past affected…

The focus of this thesis is how stars like our Sun and planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth are formed.

This thesis investigates how galaxies form and what diversifies the evolutionary histories of galaxies.

We have conducted a full spectral line survey of the 3-13 micron region of two massive protostars, AFGL 2591 and AFGL 2136, for the first time at high spectral resolution.

The coursework within the Science Communication and Society (SCS) specialisation prepares students for internships and a career in communication about science and health.

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.

Op 28 oktober 2021 verdedigde Hein van der Bruggen zijn proefschrift en behaalde daarmee de doctorstitel.

In this thesis,

The lipid membrane is a basic structural component of all living cells. Embedded in this nanometer-thin barrier, membrane proteins shape the membrane and at the same time respond to the shape of the membrane.

One of the key quests in astronomy is to study the growth and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Radio observations provide a powerful means of studying the formation of stars and subsequent buildup of distant galaxies, in a way that is unbiased by the presence of dust.

Onderzoek en onderwijs zijn twee belangrijke pijlers van het SAILS-programma. Een andere kernactiviteit is communicatie over ons onderzoek met wetenschappers, het bedrijfsleven en andere maatschappelijke partners.

This thesis systematically studies the physicochemical properties of non-planar, propeller-shaped, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthesis of several so-called propellerenes is described on a gram scale, using optimized procedures aimed at using less hazardous reagents and reducing the amount…

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to affect marine animals in various ways, this may have fitness consequences at individual and population level. This thesis aims to increase insight into the quantification of sound-induced behavioural responses that are relevant to fitness, and into factors that…

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

During embryonic growth, cells proliferate, differentiate, and collectively migrate to form different tissues at the right position and time in the body.

For centuries astronomers studied the Universe by collecting light. Nowadays, we are living in times of great technological advancements, which allow us to explore our Universe in a new way - though gravitational wave radiation.

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

In the thesis the dynamics of strategies is studied from two perspectives.In the first part of the thesis strategies are considered to be opinions present in a community.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…
