Who are open-source intelligence activists and how reliable are their contributions to public understanding of Russia’s war in Ukraine?

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

LCA has become an important method to study environmental impacts of human activities. Still, there are several methodological issues in LCA that can adversely affect the results reliability.

This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

This dissertation investigates the energy and material related impacts of the transition towards a low-carbon heating system in the Netherlands, in the context of its 2050 climate and circular economy policy goals.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…

Barrier function is the natural role of the skin. The lipid matrix present in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum is important for this function.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major health threat. Addressing this challenge requires among others the development of new antibacterial compounds. The research described in this thesis focuses on discovering novel antibiotics from soil bacteria, specifically Streptomyces and Paenibacillus.Despite…

We zullen menselijke skeletresten bestuderen die zijn samengesteld bij de Faculteit Archeologie door ze te micro-CT-scannen in LUMC-faciliteiten. Met gedetailleerde micro-CT-scans kunnen we de botkwaliteit in het vroegmoderne Nederland (1650-1850) onderzoeken en die vergelijken met de botkwaliteit van…

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

Damien van Puyvelde en Fernando Tabárez Rienzi onderzoeken de evolutie van Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).

Op 9 april 2019 verdedigde Yudan Tan haar proefschrift 'The Rome Statute as Evidence of Customary International Law'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. dr. W.A. Schabas.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

In dit artikel vatten Kristin Makszin en Achim Kemmerling bewijs samen over hoe het VK en de VS leren van het Chileense pensioenmodel, maar beide landen slagen er niet in krediet toe te kennen of de lessen te vervormen.

The radio sky harbours both galactic and extragalactic sources of arcminute- to degree-scale emission of various physical origins. To discover extragalactic diffuse emission in the Cosmic Web beyond galaxy clusters, one must image low–surface brightness structures amidst a sea of brighter compact fore-…

This thesis focused on the exploration of monolayer graphene as a membrane in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, with improvements achieved through plasma exposure or damage- free chemical functionalization.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

This thesis addresses the chemical processes that determine the compositions of giant planet atmospheres.

Kinase inhibitors are key therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology, yet their clinical efficacy is often hampered by off-target effects and limited understanding of their cellular target profiles.

Acute cardiovascular clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke represent the major cause of death in Western societies. These pathologies are primarily resulting from atherosclerosis, a progressive condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids, immune cells, and fibrous…

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.

Dit proefschrift beschrijft de ontwikkeling van een beoordelingsprocedure voor docenten, toegespitst op beginnende eerstegraads docenten Engels.

Het onderwerp van deze studie is het portfolio dat wordt gebruikt bij een lerarenopleiding als instrument om bij docenten in opleiding reflectie op hun ontwikkeling als docent te stimuleren.

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

Dit project onderzoekt de professionalisering van universiteitsbibliotheken in de negentiende en vroege twintigste eeuw, door de lens van het middeleeuwse handschriftenbezit. Met de Leidse Universiteitsbibliotheek als uitgangspunt werpt het licht op de veranderende praktijken rond het conserveren, behandelen…

Dit artikel analyseert de transnationaliteit van terroristische organisaties, waaronder fondsenwerving, communicatie, alliantievorming en doelselectie.

Hoye stelt dat het fundamentele fundament van Hobbes' Leviathan grootmoedige staatkunde belichaamt, waarin soevereinen natuurlijke rechtvaardigheid nastreven, die zich manifesteert als eminente

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

CT scanning of skeletal remains can tell us about how strong or weak a persons bones were and we can relate that back to diet, activity, and reproductive factors.

With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

Decarbonizing the building stock is critical for realizing the climate-neutral target for the Netherlands.

This pioneering project will answer this question by examining migrants through the eyes of the courts between 1600 and 1900. It aims to reveal patterns of continuity and change in: 1. Treatment of migrants by criminal courts; 2. Violence and conflicts between migrants and native born.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), one of the largest families of membrane proteins, are responsive to a diverse set of physiological endogenous ligands including hormones and neurotransmitters.
