Onderzoek toont aan hoe jongens reageren op bewustwordingstrainingen over intimidatie en waarom ze straatintimidatie vaak niet als 'hun' probleem zien.

Het centrale doel van dit proefschrift is inzicht verschaffen in hoe de implementatie van een peer educator-interventie van invloed kan zijn op de houding van leerlingen tegenover LHBT-leeftijdgenoten en op de relatie tussen deze houdingen en reflectie over burgerschap.

The power of personalized nutrition lies in being able to conduct clinical research on healthy people while capturing metabolic markers sensitive to the impact of environmental and metabolic stressors (e.g. diet, changing sex hormones and the menstrual cycle).

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

Seksueel misbruik van kinderen is een veelvoorkomend probleem: wereldwijd wordt ongeveer één op de vijf meisjes en één op de dertien jongens vóór hun achttiende jaar slachtoffer van een vorm van seksueel misbruik. Ondanks de hoge prevalentie zwijgen veel slachtoffers over deze ervaringen en wachten…

Ongewenste associaties met seks kunnen afgeleerd worden, maar terugkeren als de omstandigheden veranderen. Daarom moet het afleren in diverse situaties plaatsvinden. Het geneesmiddel D-cycloserine biedt mogelijk uitkomst. Dat ontdekte psychologe Mirte Brom.

In het onderzoek staat centraal hoe jongeren hun leeftijdgenoten (peers) kunnen aanzetten tot een respectvolle omgang met homoseksuele, biseksuele mannen en vrouwen en transgender mensen.

Bij de Onderzoeksgroep Geweld en Geweldpreventie (Violence and Violence Prevention) wordt onderzoek gedaan naar de complexiteit van hedendaags geweld, de uiteenlopende verschijningsvormen ervan en strategieën voor preventie.

Klinische psychologie richt zich vooral op de toepassing van wetenschappelijke psychologische kennis op assessment, preventie en behandeling van psychopathologie.

Fungal food spoilage often starts with a contamination with spores. Experimental data strongly indicate the existence of subpopulations of spores with different levels of resistance to preservation methods.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

Streptomyces are bacteria abundant in soil that participate in diverse and complex interactions. These bacteria are the main producers of the antibiotics we currently use in the clinic.

We have examined sequences from the ligand-binding domain of the nicotinic acetyl choline receptor (nAChR) in 148 vertebrate species. We are in interested in this receptor because the α-neurotoxins of many venomous snakes binds to this receptor in its location at the neuromuscular junction in all ve…

In this thesis, we focus on novel proteins/mechanisms that regulate integrin-adhesion mediated mechano-transduction.

This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores.

The main aim of my Ph.D. thesis is to further explore the value of using early developing zebrafish larvae (up to 5 dpf) as a model to study anxiety-like behaviour and their pharmacological modulation with drugs.

This thesis mainly focuses on multimodal understanding and Visual Question Answering (VQA) via deep learning methods. For technical contributions, this thesis first focuses on improving multimodal fusion schemes via multi-stage vision-language interactions.

Self-assembly offers a promising route to create complex structures and materials using simple building blocks. Through, colloidal self-assembly, we can understand the governing principles of the self-assembly process and unlock its potential in diverse applications in materials science, photonics and…

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

The book ‘Bestrijdingsmiddelen en Milieu' gives a transparent overview of facts and figures concerning pesticide use in the Netherlands and the impact of pesticides on the environment.

The long-held desire - to link structure directly to function and to explain molecular mechanisms based on basic chemical or physical principles - is finally coming closer, satisfying not only our scientific curiosity but also offering new solutions to the many challenges in the field of health, energy…

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

A large diversity of exoplanetary systems has been found, but it is still unclear what drives this diversity.

The study of orchid flowers, fruits, and inflorescences is crucial due to the remarkable diversity of orchid species and their unique adaptations to pollinators and seed dispersers. However, our understanding of the evolution and development of these organs within the orchid family remains limited.

The research described in this thesis centered on retaining exo-β-glucosidases implicated in health and disease, in particular the human inherited lysosomal storage disorder, Gaucher disease (GD).

Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…
