Microaggressions under the Lens: A Scoping Review of Experimental Studies on Attributions of Subtle Forms of Discrimination
(2024)Subtle forms of discrimination are often ambiguous and challenging to identify. This thesis explores the shift of discrimination towards more subtle forms, specifically manifested in microaggressions, and their significant ... -
Role of family and friendship in the perceived loneliness of young adults from different cultures
(2024)Through in-depth interviews, this qualitative study explores how young adults from family-oriented and self-oriented cultures perceive family and friendship relationships as a theme in their loneliness. Young adults are ... -
Risk and protective factors for youth delinquency; the road towards true evidence-based policymaking
(2024)This systematized literature review aims to identify the predominant risk and protective factors associated with youth delinquency across multiple domains, including individual, family, peer, and broader social contexts. ... -
Diverse and inclusive work environment and the role and responsibility of leaders
(2024)Increasing diversity in organisations may result in beneficial outcomes for individuals and organisation, however, inclusion is needed to leverage diversity into positive outcomes. Leaders are considered important in ... -
Subjective-wellbeing Disparities: Examining the Roles of Social Assistance, Employment and Migration Background in Amsterdam
(2024)Subjective-wellbeing (SWB) levels in Amsterdam are declining more rapidly than nationally, which has been associated to the high population of people with a migration background in Amsterdam, as this group on average has ... -
De hulptabellen van Cayley voor het tellen van bomen
(2024)Het doel van dit onderzoek was het narekenen van tabellen uit twee artikelen van Cayley en bekijken waar Cayley de fout in was gegaan. We hebben geleerd dat Cayley veel wiskundige artikelen heeft geschreven, maar dat hij ... -
Primitive elements of abelian extensions and fields generated by polygon diagonals
(2024)In this thesis we are interested in primitive elements of abelian extensions of Q. By the Kronecker-Weber Theorem we know that abelian extensions are subfields of cyclotomic extensions Q(ζ_n). For the case where n = p^a ... -
EEG source localization using graph regularizednonnegative matrix factorization
(2024)We attempt to find the location EEG signals orignated from as through graph regularized nonnegative matrix factorization. We also discuss what nonnegative matrix factorization is and how to add regularizers to this problem ... -
Een ruimte-fractioneel tau-model uit de geohydrologie
(2024)Het τ -model uit de geohydrologie modelleert monotone en niet-monotone golven die ontstaan bij watersaturatie. In deze bachelorscriptie lossen we het τ -model numeriek op met behulp van de methode-der-lijnen en de ... -
Removing noise from audio recording using Online Non-negative Matrix Factorization
(2024)Dictionary learning has been shown to be an effective tool for signal processing. In this thesis, we look at a specific version of dictionary learning called Online Non-negative Matrix Factorization (ONMF) and apply it in ... -
Het vermoeden van Malle en kransproducten van symmetrische groepen
(2024)Allereerst geven we wat voorkennis en introduceren we het vermoeden van Malle. Daarna definiëren we wat kransproducten en k-voudig kransproducten zijn en bekijken we hoe we Galoisgroepen kunnen vinden die isomorf zijn aan ... -
Enhanced Modeling and Control of Hybrid Power Systems: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach for Optimal Decision-Making
(2024)The management of present-day power systems has become increasingly complex due to the integration of distributed and renewable energy resources. This added complexity makes the power system optimization problem challenging ... -
Euclid, Euler, Erdős: Exploring the infinitude of the primes
(2024)In this thesis, some of the different proofs of the infinitude of primes are investigated. The aim is to sculpt a broader picture of which categories we can fit the proofs into. For example, some proofs have a very ... -
The first Janko group J_1: simplicity and formalization
(2024)In this thesis, we will examine the first Janko group J_1. It is a sporadic group, which means that it is a finite and simple group. The main goal of this thesis is to prove the simplicity of a finite group that contains ... -
Formalisation of the Finite Simple Conway Groups in Lean
(2024)Study of the Conway groups, a family of sporadic simple groups closely related to the Leech lattice. We will demonstrate a construction of the Leech lattice, show how it can be used to construct the Conway groups and provide ... -
A Functional analytical view of Ergodic theory
(2024)In the thesis we take a look at some of the fundamental concepts and theorems within ergodic theory. We then look to apply those in a functional analytical way. -
Beyond the Blue Envelope
(2024)In recent decades trust in institutions, including government bodies, has declined. This study explores the perceptions of Dutch citizens regarding their trust in the Tax Office through the lens of procedural and recognitive ... -
Turning the Invisible visible with words: Exploring Refugees’ Narrative Identity in Storytelling in the Netherlands
(2024)Previous research on narrative identity has investigated how individuals build their sense of self through the stories they tell themselves and others. This interdisciplinary concept suggests that people draw upon and ...
