The lasting impact of an online impression
(2025)Early-stage health startups are essential for developing new medical technologies, but often face immense challenges. These include long and uncertain development timelines, strict regulatory requirements, and limited ... -
Designing Scalable Cold Outreach Strategies for Life Sciences Marketing: A Behavioral Approach Using Apollo.io
(2025)This thesis provides a structured, scalable, automatic approach based on behavioral psychology principles tailored to marketing outreach for the life sciences sector. Life sciences companies such as biotech or medtech ... -
Quality of and methodological heterogeneity in COVID-19 vaccine safety studies - Case study of Bell's palsy safety signal
(2025)In this systematic review, the methodological quality of published observational studies evaluating risk of Bell’s palsy following COVID-19 vaccination was assessed, the heterogeneity across studies addressing similar ... -
Programmable Money, Immutable, Consequences: Regulatory Convergence, Stablecoin Designs, and VC Strategy
(2025)This thesis examines stablecoins as programmable financial instruments with growing relevance across payments, capital markets, and digital infrastructure. As blockchain- based assets designed to maintain price stability, ... -
Effect of inulin, resistant dextrin, and spermidine on the gut microbiome using Gut3Gel Gradient Colonic as an in vitro substrate
(2025)The gut microbiome plays an important role in metabolism, immune system regulation, and digestion. Its dysregulation has been implicated to play a role in various diseases both digestive and neurological. The modulation ... -
Anthropogenic factors explain the most spatial variation of plant beta-diversity in the Netherlands
(2025)We researched the relationships between anthropogenic and natural landscape heterogeneity and spatial beta-diversity in a forest, peatland and urban environment in the Netherlands. Plot-level vegetation surveys were done ... -
Water use and salinity dynamics in irrigated agriculture.
(2025)Agricultural systems in the Nile Delta are under growing pressure from climate change. Freshwater supplies are declining, river flows are becoming less reliable, and salinity stress is intensifying. Egypt’s strong dependence ... -
3D modelling of the synovium in psoriatic arthritis
(2025)Psoriatische artritis (PsA) is een chronische gewrichtsontsteking waarvoor nog geen genezende therapie bestaat. Omdat bestaande 2D in vitro modellen de complexe weefselarchitectuur van het synovium onvoldoende nabootsen, ... -
Large foundation models to investigate entrepreneurial pitch videos
(2025)This thesis explores how foundation models with multimodal capabilities, integrating visual, auditory, and textual data, can be applied to predict investment outcomes during the Q&A sessions of startup pitch videos. Unlike ... -
Merits and criticism of the regression-based formulation of inclusive fitness theory
(2025)Hamilton’s rule and the theory of inclusive fitness have become a central part of the theory of social evolution. However, as is well known, the original formulation of this theory is strictly valid only when the fitness ... -
Geometric Late-Fusion of GPS and Satellite-based Road Network Reconstructions.
(2025)This master's thesis presents a late-fusion algorithm for multi-modal road network reconstruction that combines GPS trajectory data and satellite imagery-based road maps. GPS-based methods like Roadster capture road ... -
Exploring the Potential of South African Agroecological Practices for Regenerative Agriculture in the Netherlands
(2025)As the Netherlands faces increasing ecological, climatic, and systemic pressures, interest in regenerative agriculture (RA) is growing. Yet the country’s transition remains in its early stages, constrained by economic ... -
Tameness and Complexity in flux compactifications
(2025)The Swampland program aims to identify constraints on the effective field theories that can be consistently coupled to quantum gravity. Evidence supporting a generalized finiteness principle underlying the Swampland criteria ... -
One-loop corrections to gravitational potentials in de Sitter space induced by a massive scalar.
(2025)The origin of large scale structure in the universe is one of the most important problems in cosmology. Quantum matter interacting with gravity during inflation is thought to cause these fluctuations in matter density that ... -
Comparing Least Squares Monte Carlo with the Rolling Intrinsic Strategy, for Batteries trading on the Intraday Electricity Market
(2025)In this thesis, we investigate how a Least Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) trading strategy compares to the rolling intrinsic (RI) strategy, for battery energy storage systems (BESS) trading on the intraday electricity market. ...
