Het Prisonproject gaat na in hoeverre een gevangenisstraf gevolgen heeft voor onder andere recidive, gezondheid, beroepsloopbanen en intieme relaties van (ex-)gedetineerden.

Hoe heeft migratie de Ierse en Italiaanse samenleving sinds 1945 beïnvloed?

Professor Dirk Vandewalle is een internationaal veelgevraagde en gerenommeerde Libië-expert. In deze lezing gaat hij in op twee essentiële vragen over de huidige situatie in Libië. Hoe komt het dat het Libische politieke systeem zo fragiel geworden is? En hoeveel hoop is er nog dat Libië als eenheid…

Binnen de Life in Custody Study wordt grootschalig onderzoek gedaan naar het leefklimaat in Nederlandse penitentiaire inrichtingen (PI’s).

Binnen dit instituut wordt veel gevangenisonderzoek verricht. Detentie is de strengste sanctie die in de strafrechtstelsels van de Europese landen wordt toegepast.

Leids onderzoek naar bestraffing komt tot stand uit verschillende disciplines. Het onderzoeksproject kent een juridische, criminologische, sociaalwetenschappelijke en filosofische invalshoek.

De Landelijke Werkgroep Kind en Ouder in de Strafrechtsketen (KOS) heeft als doel de zichtbaarheid en behandeling van ouders en kinderen in de Nederlandse strafrechtsketen te verbeteren door een combinatie van centralisatie, advies en onderzoek.

Iedereen moet zich aan de wet houden. Wie dat niet doet, krijgt te maken met politie en justitie. Toepassing van het strafrecht, nationaal, Europees en wereldwijd, lijkt een kwestie van het volgen van de letter van de wet. Toch ligt dit vaak genuanceerder. Bij het Instituut voor Strafrecht & Criminologie…

N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA), N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) and N-oleoylethanolamine (OEA), are signaling lipids that play an important role in different physiological process.

We prove a p-adic version of the work by Gross and Zagier on the differences between singular moduli by proving a set of conjectures by Giampietro and Darmon, who investigated the factorisation of a rational invariant associated to a pair of CM-points on a genus zero Shimura curve, obtained as the ratio…

In this thesis we use state-of-the-art observations and simulations to provide the best constraints to date on the HVS ejection rate and constraints on the stellar content and dynamics at the GC, including the progenitor binary populations and their star formation history.

Op 16 december 2021 verdedigde Lisanne van Houten het proefschrift 'Flexing the Slot Regime'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. P. Mendes de Leon en prof. L. Pierallini (Luiss University Of Rome).

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

In this thesis, deep learning is studied from a statistical perspective. Convergence rates for the worst case risk bounds of neural network estimators are obtained in the classification, density estimation and linear regression model.

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

Transplantation of labial salivary glands to the eyelids for patients with dry eye appears to give excellent results clinically.

Visualizing the internal structure is a crucial step in acquiring knowledge about the origin, state, and composition of cultural heritage artifacts. Among the most powerful techniques for exposing the interior of cultural heritage objects is computed tomography (CT), a technique that computationally…

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

Due to their central physiological roles in living organisms, retaining beta-glycosidases have been the subject of tremendous research efforts to examine their structure/function relation using numerous biophysical and biochemical approaches.

We strive to address the challenge of constructing a modeling language to write software which can take advantage of recent hardware developments (multicore, cloud) without compromising in its abstraction levels.
