Youth Participation in Climate Action in Kenya
(2023)Climate change is reshaping the world that young people are due to inherit and will bear the costs for in coming decades. Their activism and climate action activities are vital to the global community and the aspect of ... -
How Translocality Shapes Dutch-Cape Verdean Families
(2023)Cape Verde is a country with a rich and long migration history, which has led to the belief that there are more Cape Verdeans that live outside of the country borders than within. Cape Verdean migration flows span across ... -
How has the new-build gentrification of Dublin’s North Lotts Docklands affected the surrounding East Wall neighbourhood? A multifaceted approach to measuring knock-on effects resulting from the new-build gentrification of the Dublin Docklands to a bordering neighbourhood.
(2023)This thesis focuses on the new-build gentrification of Dublin's North Lotts Docklands and its knock-on effects on its bordering neighbourhood East Wall and its residents. The research considers whether the redevelopment ... -

Computation in Nested Closed Timelike Curves
(2023)How powerful computers are depends on the laws of physics that govern the behaviour of a computer. So to determine what problems can be solved by computers, we have to consider the physical model they are present in. In ... -
Comparison of Acoustic Feature Representation Methods for Apparent Personality Recognition
(2023)This thesis examines the performance of Fisher Vector representations in classifying personality traits from audio. The Chalearn LAP First Impression dataset is used, which is a multimodal dataset. The audio modality of ... -
Visual Explanations of Runtime Verification Verdicts
(2023)In runtime verification, the behavior of a program or system is verified by automatically checking a specification expressed as a property in temporal logic on a finite execution trace. Understanding why a property is ... -
Assessing Sentiment Transfer Models on “Real” Text Style Transfer Tasks
(2023)With the development of Artificial Intelligence, style transformation has made progress in computer vision and natural language processing. Style transfer originated in the field of vision and has been extended to the field ... -
Causal Inference on Multimodal Single-Cell Data
(2023)The flow of genetic information within a cell is a complex interaction between DNA, RNA, and proteins. Understanding this interplay amounts to understanding how genetic code manifests itself into cellular function, it is ... -
Intelligent unit testing: how reasoning can improve automated testing
(2023)The thesis provides an alternative approach to automated software testing. This novel ap- proach is based on an intelligent BDI agent that is later extended in a multi-agent environment consisting on custom and third-party ... -
A discrete Ginzburg-Landau functional for regularised tomographic image reconstruction
(2023)Tomographic imaging has a wide range of applications including in medicine and in industry because of its non-destructive nature. Ideally, accurate images can be retrieved using high-quality fully sampled computed tomography ... -
Understanding heterochromatin redistribution in mouse retina by designing and implementing a novel reporter cell-line in retinal organoids
(2023)In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packed in the form of chromatin distributed three-dimensionally. This allows for the control of gene expression based on the location of chromatin. Euchromatin is transcriptionally active and ... -
“How can SEE niche systems influence sustainable socio-technical transitions?” – the case of the European renovation sector
(2023)The construction sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, with materials like cement accounting for 8% of global CO2 emissions. To reduce its environmental impact, experts propose building renovations ... -
Quantum dissipative systems coupled fractionally to a bath
(2023)Quantum diffusion is a major topic in condensed-matter physics, and the Caldeira-Leggett model has been one of the most successful approaches to study this phenomenon. Here, we generalize this model by coupling the bath ... -
TEACHING SOCIAL MEDICINE: Education in Social Medicine at the Medical Faculty in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from 1945 to 1999
(2023)This article explores the history of social medicine education from 1945 to 1999 at the medical faculty of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It seeks to understand what kind of social medicine educators constructed, and how they ... -
Analysis of Sustainable and Green Urbanism Discourses: Cases study of New Smart-forest City Kalimantan Indonesia
(2023)The green and sustainable urbanism discussion has become more crucial due to many new cities constructed. Moreover, “green” and “sustainable” cities have been promoted by many governments, developers, and intergovernmental ... -
Downscaling Forcing for Lake Garda using Neural Networks: Present & Future
(2023)Deep mixing events (DMEs) are an important aspect of the ecosystem in Lake Garda. To predict when DMEs will happen in the future, especially when considering climate change, a hydrodynamical model is used (such as Delft3D). ... -
Automating stress detection in a vertical farming environment using an autoencoder for anomaly detection
(2023)Feeding the world is becoming more challenging as the world’s population increases and many people are suffering from hunger. Vertical farming could be a way out, because it can improve the amount of food we can produce ...
