(2024)Every year, a significant number of children deals with the divorce of their parents and this is associated to a range of possible adjustment problems, such as a lower well-being. According to the divorce-stress-adjustment ... -
Developing a 3D Model Geometry of the Hikurangi Subduction Zone
(2024)The Hikurangi subduction zone, located off the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, has not seen a large (MW ≥8.0) megathrust earthquake in recent history. This does not mean that great earthquakes are not possible ... -
Generating Textual Summaries from the Bibliographies Contained in Scientific Literature
(2024)This thesis explores the development and evaluation of a method for generating computer-generated textual summaries of bibliographies in scientific papers and conference proceedings. This method aims to enhance the utility ... -
A Systematic Review of zoonotic infections from farm animals and their environment among visitors of multifunctional farms
(2024)Interacting with farm animals like sheep, cows and goats can have considerable health benefits for people, such as reducing worries, lowering blood pressure, and other mental and physical health benefits. Visiting a farm ... -
Applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Healthcare
(2024)In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized language-related applications across various fields. These powerful models, trained on massive datasets, can understand and generate natural language for ... -
How does CLIP process negation? A multimodal interpretability study
(2024)Various benchmarks have measured linguistic capabilities of vision-and-language (VL) models, but do not provide insights into how models implement these capabilities. This thesis translates model interpretability techniques ... -
Beyond the Dynamic-Static Dichotomy: Reshaping the Landscape of Metaphysics of Time through the Works of Jenann Ismael and Sebastian Rödl
(2024)In this thesis, I explore the dichotomic dispute in (analytic) philosophy regarding the fundamental nature of time, specifically whether its supposedly essential features such as change, tense and flow are real/objective ... -
Enhancing Sustainable Fashion Awareness through A Game Skin Acquisition Model
(2024)This study explores the unique potential of gaming to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry. We investigate how game skin acquisition influences players’ learning of sustainability concepts ... -
IDENTIFYING STRUCTURAL VARIATIONS USING OPTIMIZED SV PIPELINE
(2024)Structural variants (SVs) are genomic alterations of at least 50 base pairs in the DNA. The PrediCT study utilizes two gene panels to investigate tumour development linked to germline mutations in cancer predisposition ... -
Sowing the Seeds of Equal Citizen Participation: A case study analysis on engaging vulnerable citizens in urban green policy-making in The Netherlands
(2024)Adaptation to climate change in The Netherlands requires place-based solutions. The limited mandate and capacity of local governments to adequately deal with increasing climate risks and impacts means stronger collaborative ... -
Greedy causal structure learning of maximal arid graphs
(2024)Causal knowledge is often modelled in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) where an directed edge between variables, like A → B, indicates that one (A) influences another (B). Many algorithms attempt the difficult task of finding ... -
