Politicologen Rebekah Tromble en Michael Meffert (Universiteit Leiden) analyseren waarom sommige media frames aanhouden, terwijl andere frames snel in de vergetelheid geraken. Zij ontwikkelen een methode die is ontleend aan event-history. De casus die Tromble en Meffert bekijken, is de verslaglegging…

Hoe kunnen we onze maatschappij zo inrichten dat de wereld leefbaar blijft voor onszelf en al het andere leven om ons heen? Aan dat vraagstuk werken Leidse wetenschappers samen vanuit allerlei disciplines, van biologie tot datawetenschap en van milieueconomie tot archeologie.

The main objective of this thesis was to develop clinically relevant survival models for patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, in particular the development and validation of prediction models for use in clinical practice.

Commerciële bedrijven die gebruik willen maken van de expertise en faciliteiten worden doorverwezen naar LAB , de commerciële eenheid die verantwoordelijk is voor gespecialiseerd laboratoriumwerk.

Nederlandse bedrijven schrappen in hoog tempo banen door reorganisaties. Olaf van Vliet, hoogleraar Economie, sprak met NU.nl over de oorzaken van die ontslaggolf. ‘Er lijken andere factoren dan AI een rol te spelen.’

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

Optimally solving real-world expensive Black-Box Optimization (BBO) problems w.r.t. real-world constraints, such as wall-clock time and computational costs, is extremely difficult and tedious.

The expanding population and economic activity are driving up global energy consumption. Simultaneously, there is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources to mitigate the climate crisis, primarily caused by fossil fuel combustion.

To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.

Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) is a group of acute diseases caused by highly infectious viruses including Ebola, Lassa, Dengue viruses. Its high mortality rate poses high risk to public health, however, studies on VHF have been hampered due to the non-availability of proper models and incomplete knowledge…

This thesis aims to address offshore wind energy (OWE)-related environmental impacts.

This thesis investigated miniaturized mass spectrometry (MS)-based analytical methods to address challenges in analyzing biomass-restricted biological samples.

For optimization problems, it is often unclear how to choose the most appropriate optimization algorithm. As such, rigorous benchmarking practices are critical to ensure we can gain as much insight into the strengths and weaknesses of these types of algorithms.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

Indonesia is experiencing various environmental challenges related to its fast economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to have measurable and applicable indicators to obtain accurate data and information regarding the costs of adverse environmental impacts arising from economic activities to support…

Vast, often populated, areas in dryland ecosystems face the dangers of desertification.

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

This monograph focuses on clustering of objects in high-dimensional data, given the restriction that the objects do not cluster on all the attributes, not even on a single subset of attributes, but often on different subsets of attributes in the data.

To meet the rising demand for minerals driven by the global shift to clean energy technologies, ensuring responsible and resilient supply chains is critical. Minerals like cobalt, lithium, and nickel for batteries, neodymium and zinc for wind turbines, and indium for solar panels are essential.
