Applying Nash-Moser in Differential Topology
(2025)The h-principle is a fruitful and active area of research with applications in many areas of differen- tial geometry. Its main goal is to prove that the space of various geometric structures is (weakly) homotopy equivalent ... -
Transfinite Induction Principles and Iterated Reflection Principles
(2025)Two of the methods used to assign proof-theoretic ordinals to theories are using transfinite induction principles, inspired by Gentzen's consistency proof for $\mathsf{PA}$ via $\varepsilon_0$-induction, and approximating ... -
Big Brains and Befitting Behaviour: A Review on Cognition in Three Avian Families
(2025)Comparative psychology has revealed advanced cognitive abilities in primates, corvids (Corvidae) and parrots (Psittacidae). However, research on many bird families is sparse, even though brain sizes are relatively large ... -
Predicting future unwell-being of hospice patient using real world patient reported outcome measures, evaluation of the practical application of a frequentist and Bayesian approach.
(2025)Background In palliative care, Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) gauge symptom severity. These PROMs help develop predictive models supporting proactive care. Longitudinal data prediction models in palliative care ... -
Zeggen, roepen, lachen: Een diachronisch onderzoek naar speech verbs in Nederlandse vertalingen van Jane Austen
(2025)In dit onderzoek staan meerdere vragen centraal: hoe speech verbs worden vertaald vanuit het Engels naar het Nederlands in vertalingen uit de twintigste en eenentwintigste eeuw, of hier een ontwikkeling in is waar te nemen, ... -
From Artefacts to Ancestors: Indigenous Artefacts and the Role of Digital Techniques in Repatriation and Reconnection with Indigenous Communities
(2025)Colonial-era practices have led to the widespread removal and global dispersal of Indigenous artefacts around the world, creating complex challenges for contemporary efforts to reclaim and repatriate cultural heritage. ... -
Learnable Fingerprints for Large Language Models
(2025)The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs), has led to unprecedented capabilities in text generation, leading to the urgent need for the development of methods ... -
Schrödinger's Crime: AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Material as a Victimless Offense
(2025)The emergence of fully AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) presents a novel and complex challenge to European Union (EU) legal frameworks. This thesis critically examines the adequacy of existing and proposed ... -
Harnessing the Human Phenotype Ontology to Predict the Age of Onset of Rare Genetic Diseases
(2025)In this research, we employ machine learning techniques to predict the age of onset of rare genetic diseases using the Human Phenotype Ontology. Provid- ing age of onset information to rare genetic diseases may assist ... -
‘Stel je een enorme zeef voor, vol boeken uit de hele wereld. Waar zitten je filters?’ In gesprek met drie veldactoren over het acquireren van literaire fictie voor vertaling in Nederland
(2025)In deze masterscriptie is aan de hand van interviews met redacteurs, literair vertalers en een literair agent onderzocht welke factoren in meer of mindere mate een rol spelen bij het uitkiezen (acquireren) van literaire ... -
Linear optimisation of the portfolio of generators in a district heating network
(2025)This work explores to what extent renewable energy technologies in a district heating network could reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining minimal costs. The neighbourhood of Orlandovtsi in ... -
Integration of single-cell transcriptomic atlases of the adult human midbrain
(2025)The cellular composition of the human brain has shown to be more heterogeneous than previously understood. The ventral midbrain is no exception. Advances in single-cell technologies has enable the creation of high-resolution ... -
Français et/ou Frans ? : Une étude sur les perceptions des enseignants de français travaillant dans l'enseignement secondaire aux Pays-Bas sur l'utilisation de la langue cible dans les livres scolaires
(2025)L’utilisation de la langue cible pendant les cours des langues étrangères a des effets positifs sur l’apprentissage des élèves (e.a. Dönszelmann, 2019). En dehors de l’input fourni par l’enseignant, les livres scolaires ... -
Biomimicry for a Sustainable Built Environment: A State of the Art Review
(2025)In order to curb the substantial environmental footprint of new buildings, innovative approaches in architecture are needed. The new built environment needs to integrate with its surrounding environment rather than only ... -
Walking the Tightrope: Balancing Energy Efficiency and Accuract in LLM-Driven Code Generation
(2025)Large Language Models (LLMs) consume significant amounts of energy during inference, espe cially for computationally expensive tasks like code generation, which leads to environmental con cerns. This work aims to reduce ... -
Resistome composition and dynamics in gut microbiota of humans and animals in rural Bangladesh
(2025)Background The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is a worldwide problem that causes considerable morbidity and mortality, since infections with resistant pathogens may have no therapeutic treatment. People ... -
Investigating human milk extracellular vesicles as therapeutic agents: a study on their efficacy in in vitro hit models of premature encephalopathy
(2025)Background. Encephalopathy of prematurity (EoP) pertains to the injury of both white and grey matter in preterm infants. Currently, there are no curative treatments proven for patients. Therefore, novel treatment is needed ...
