Dutch Judgement: A Constructivist Analysis of the Parliamentary Debates on Spain's Accession to NATO in the Netherlands 1981-1982
(2025)This thesis covers the debates on Spain’s request to join NATO that took place in the Dutch Parliament in 1981 and 1982. While current historiography overlooks changes in the perception of NATO as well as the Netherlands’ ... -
Dutch style model trained using authorship verification
(2025)Currently, there are no models trained specifically trained on the creation of representation of Dutch linguistic style. Neither has a task been developed to evaluate and verify the created embeddings. In this thesis, I ... -
Intralinguale vertaling als stap in het interlinguale vertaalproces: Inzicht in het gebruik van externe bronnen bij de vertaling van medische teksten voor leken
(2025)In dit onderzoek wordt het gebruik van externe bronnen geanalyseerd om meer inzicht te krijgen in het vertaalproces bij een medische vertaling voor leken. Het doel van dit onderzoek is om patronen te herkennen in het zoek- ... -
Breaking Gut: intestinal microbes and their modulation as a therapy in ASD.
(2025)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex and heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized primarily by deficit in social communication and repetitive behaviors. The prevalence of ASD has increased ... -
Identifying endo-lysosomal alterations downstream of RAS mutations
(2025)The endo-lysosomal system is primarily responsible for vesicle transport and degradation but also plays a crucial role in nutrient sensing and metabolic signaling. As a result, the state of endo-lysosomal pathways significantly ... -
From Spatial Data Infrastructures To Spatial Knowledge Infrastructures – Evaluating the current state of concepts and cases
(2025)This study provides a first-time systematic review into the concept of a Spatial Knowledge Infrastructure (SKI) in comparison with the well-established Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) concept. Generalized, an SDI is a ... -
Decoding Large Scale High Density Neural Recordings in Non-Human-Primates using a Spiking Neural Network
(2025)To understand the complex processes underlying perception and action, it is necessary to understand the encoding mechanisms of information in the brain. Decoding, the mapping of brain responses back to a stimulus, is a ... -
A Proof-of-Concept Study on the Soil Ecosystem Effects of Holistic Planned Grazing for the Development of a Manual for Simple and Cost-Effective Soil Health Testing
(2025)With almost three quarters of all grazed land being degraded, there is a need for more biodiverse and resilient ecosystems in today’s grasslands. With the right management practices, grazing animals can play an important ... -
Decoding Neurodegeneration: Leveraging Machine Learning Approaches to Classify Single Cells and Identify Transcriptomic Features in Alzheimer’s Disease and ALS
(2025)Abstract Background: Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) pose significant public health challenges due to their complex aetiologies involving genetic, environmental, ... -
Quantifying the historical surface mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet using both RACMO2.4p1 and in situ data, and its correlation with large scale atmospheric circulation
(2025)Increase in surface melting is the main contributor to Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass loss, therefore its quantification is extremely relevant in assessing the future rise of sea levels. However, direct measurements of ... -
Combining Normal Approximation Heuristics With Simulated Annealing For The Stochastic Job-Shop Scheduling Problem
(2025)This thesis addresses the Stochastic Job-Shop Scheduling Problem, incorporating uncertainty in the processing time. Efficiently creating robust schedules is computationally challenging due to the complex search space and ... -
A review of pollen-based quantitative vegetation reconstruction models
(2025)Quantitative vegetation reconstruction aims to provide information about past vegetation cover. One method is using pollen diagrams that are supposed to reflect the relative abundance of taxa in the surrounding vegetation. ... -
Clusterization and background estimation of a direct photon signal in pp collisions at √s=13.6 TeV in ALICE
(2025)This thesis presents a method to estimate the background contribution in a direct photon signal in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13.6 TeV in ALICE. This work serves as an initial step towards a comprehensive jet quenching ... -
Association patient characteristics on fludarabine exposure in patients with hematopoietic allogenic stem cell transplantation
(2025)ABSTRACT Background Hematopoietic allogenic stem cell transplantation provides a potential curative treatment for patients suffering from malignant or non-malignant diseases. Conditioning by fludarabine and busulfan forms ... -
Medication Use and Adverse Maternal, Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes among Pregnant Women with COVID-19: A Prospective Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis in Europe and North America
(2025)Pregnant women are a vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet they have been largely left out of important studies on how to treat and prevent the virus. This leaves big gaps in our knowledge about how different ... -
SBRT in oligometastatic disease of colorectal cancer
(2025)INTRODUCTION.Throughout the recent years, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective, local therapy for treating limited (oligo) metastatic disease. This study presents characteristics and clinical ...
