Teachers at the Forefront:Understanding Job Demands and Resources in Education in Emergencies Settings.
(2024)This research explores the well-being of teachers working in Education in Emergencies (EiE) settings, focusing on fragile environments such as the Benishangul-Gumuz Region in Ethiopia. Utilizing the Job Demands-Resources ... -
The Relationship Between Social Norms and Travel Behavior, and the Mediating Effect of Personal Norms
(2024)Introduction: Climate change is a societal problem, influenced by travel behaviors such as air travel and car use. Travel emissions can be reduced by changing consumer behavior. Social and personal norms influence behavior ... -
Balancing Acts and Breaking Norms: Exploring employee work-life balance within strong work priority norms
(2024)Work-life balance has become increasingly prominent in public disclosure and has been frequently discussed to be implemented in corporate settings, to enhance employee well-being. However, there is still a gap when it comes ... -
Haunting Echoes: Transgenerational Trauma and the Quest for Reparative Justice in Post-Francoist Spain
(2024)This thesis addresses transgenerational trauma from the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship within the current governmental framework of reparative justice. By analyzing the 2022 Democratic Memory Law and the 2011 Protocol ... -
Preventing healthcare professionals from leaving: An exploratory study using age and tenure as predictors
(2024)This research investigates measures for preventing employees in the health and welfare sector in Region Utrecht from leaving and examines to what extent predictors age and tenure explain the differences in these prevention ... -
"Waar zijn de ouders?!"
(2024)Deze thesis onderzoekt de invloed van emotionele ouderlijke betrokkenheid op problematisch schoolgedrag bij adolescenten en bekijkt of deze invloed verschilt tussen jongens en meisjes. Op basis van de Sociale Leertheorie, ... -
Het uitspreken van discriminatie: Een vergelijking van studenten met en zonder migratieachtergrond
(2024)Dit onderzoek richt zich op de vraag of het hebben van een migratieachtergrond invloed heeft op de kans om discriminatie uit te spreken, en welke rol institutioneel vertrouwen hierin speelt. De focus ligt op studenten in ... -
SHAPING SAFETY PERCEPTION
(2024)Perceived safety within neighbourhoods plays a critical role in shaping individuals’ well-being, quality of life, and daily activities. This thesis examines whether the perceived safety of neighbourhoods is influenced by ... -
On the Tameness of Perturbative Expansions
(2024)The notion of tameness is believed to bear a significant meaning for fundamental physics: according to the Tameness Conjecture, partition functions and correlation functions for UV-consistent theories are tame functions. ... -
Stability of Higher Dimensional Black Holes in Warped Spacetimes
(2024)Recent developments in string theory, such as the AdS/CFT correspondence, have increased the interest in higher dimensional curved spaces. The Randall-Sundrum model, a five-dimensional spacetime with strongly warped extra ... -
Forecasting cosmological parameter bias introduced by intrinsic alignment with the halo model
(2024)Cosmic shear is the correlation of the distorted shapes of distant galaxies due to weak gravitational lensing by the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe. By measuring cosmic shear, we can study the distribution of ... -
Intrinsic Alignments of Galaxies with The EFT Model
(2024)The focus of this thesis is to study Intrinsic Alignments (IA) of galaxies using the Effective Field Theory (EFT) model. The EFT model is perturbative, and in this work it is explored at the one-loop level. There are several ... -
Numerical Modelling of Wastewater Dispersion from Offshore Hydrogen Electrolysis in the Dutch North Sea - implications for the marine environment.
(2024)The Dutch government has recently unveiled plans to establish the North Sea's first offshore green hydrogen electrolyser in the 'Ten Noorden van de Waddeneilanden' region, situated 84 kilometres off the northern Dutch ... -
Cohomology of Local Systems on the Moduli Space of Curves
(2024)Let $\M_{g,n}$ and $\overline{\M}_{g,n}$ denote the moduli spaces of smooth and stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points respectively. We introduce and study these spaces. In particular, we are interested in their ... -
Quantum Corrections to Gravitational Potentials and Waves Induced by a Massive Scalar
(2024)In this thesis, we calculate the one-loop corrections induced by a non-minimally coupled massive scalar to the gravitational potentials sourced by a static point mass and the gravitational waves emitted by a binary system, ... -
The Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties and Its Compactifications
(2024)Abelian varieties are high-dimensional generalizations of elliptic curves. The moduli space A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g is the quotient of the Siegel upper half-space by the action of ... -
Geometric invariant theory and stacks
(2024)A moduli problem can often be translated to the problem of constructing a certain type of quotient. Mumford's geometric invariant theory uses ideas from classical invariant theory to construct such quotients. In particular, ... -
The Abelian Sandpile Model: The connections between probabilistic and group theoretical approaches.
(2024)The Abelian sandpile model (ASM) is a toy model from statistical physics used to study self-organized criticality. It has been studied both in terms of a Markov chain and in terms of divisors. In this thesis we will introduce ... -
Removal of singularities through hierarchies of singularities
(2024)In this thesis we consider a removal of singularities proof for the Smale-Hirsch theorem about immersions in the non-critical dimension case. This proof was suggested by M. Gromov in his book Partial Differential Relations. ...
