Corruption, integrity (or a lack thereof…) and public values are near omnipresent elements in public administration and politics of all times. Cases of corrupt public officials and politicians continuously emerge. Strangely enough, however, it often remains unknown what actually occurred, how something…

Artikel: “The paradox of being on the glass cliff: why do women accept risky leadership positions?”

Onze promovenda Maral Darouei heeft in samenwerking met haar dagelijkse begeleider Helen Pluut een artikel gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Career Development International (5-year IF = 2.704). Het paper is getiteld “The paradox of being on the glass cliff: Why do women accept risky leadership positions”.…

On the 7th and 8th of November, Radboud University and Utrecht University are jointly organising a masterclass for (Re)MA students and PhD candidates on the life and times of those lay people dependent on monasteries.

Hieronder vind je een overzicht van de publicaties van LAPP.

Het Skandapurāṇa Project, dat een internationaal consortium van wetenschappers verenigt, bestaat uit een team van onderzoekers die werkzaam zijn op verschillende gebieden van de geesteswetenschappen. We creëren een kritische editie van een fundamenteel werk uit de purāṇische literatuur en traceren zo…

Dit boek neemt je stapsgewijs mee in het schrijven van een scriptie, met (voornamelijk) een focus op experimenteel onderzoek, dat het meest veel voorkomt. Door de stappen van experimenteel onderzoek in chronologische volgorde op te splitsen en bij elke stap tips te geven, hopen de auteurs enig houvast…

Het project is gefinancierd door SoFoKleS en mede mogelijk gemaakt door steun vanuit en samenwerking met de Universiteit Utrecht en verschillende partijen binnen de Universiteit Leiden.

The Leiden Institute of Advance Computer Science (LIACS) in collaboration with the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) have developed the minor Cyber Security Governance Essentials to provide students with a mixture of technical and governance knowledge to set them on a path towards understanding…

This minor is focused on fundamental scientific research required for discovery of new drug targets and development of new drugs. Students learn how disease and drug-induced alterations in signaling pathways can be used for the discovery of new drug targets and the development of personalized drugs.

Cardiovascular disease is a major global burden and atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathological process.

Fungal infections pose a significant threat to individuals with compromised immune systems and despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, they continue to jeopardize patient’s health.

In times of hardships or crisis, local people know how to deal with it using their resourcefulness. Although efforts are sometimes made by the government to help them, they are fully aware that community support is at least equally important.

A management strategy has been developed for field margins to reduce pesticide drift to non-target areas and to promote biodiversity on arable land. To this end, 3 and 6 m wide strips along the edges of winter wheat, sugar beet and potato crops have been left unsprayed with herbicides and insecticides…

The department of Industrial Ecology is dealing with research into the development of tools for decision making on sustainable production and consumption.

Atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis is caused by an immune response which is directed against (modified) lipoproteins which accumulate in the vessel wall.

Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

De onderzoeksgroep Governance of Crises bestudeert fenomenen, dynamieken en actoren die te maken hebben met crisisgovernance. Het Crisis Research Center (CRC) van de Universiteit Leiden maakt deel uit van deze onderzoeksgroep.

Acute cardiovascular clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke represent the major cause of death in Western societies. These pathologies are primarily resulting from atherosclerosis, a progressive condition characterized by the accumulation of lipids, immune cells, and fibrous…

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Obesity may alter how a person absorbs, distributes, metabolizes or excretes medication. This thesis describes how obesity affects drug levels in the blood for antimicrobial agents, such as ciprofloxacin and fluconazole.

PNEC-pro is a user-friendly screening tool for professionals dealing with the assessment of surface water quality. The tool calculates local, watertype specific no-effect concentrations (PNEC) of copper, lead, nickel and zinc based on biotic ligand models (BLMs).

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

This thesis investigates the contribution of quantum computers to machine learning, a field called Quantum Machine Learning. Quantum Machine Learning promises innovative perspectives and methods for solving complex problems in machine learning, leveraging the unique capabilities of quantum computers…

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

De LUMC Alumni Vereniging is in 1996 opgericht om enerzijds de band tussen het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum en zijn alumni te versterken, anderzijds om de band van de alumni onderling te versterken.

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.

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Dissolving microneedles are a subgroup of microneedle types that completely dissolve within the skin. During this dissolving process the vaccine, stored in the needle matrix, is released into the skin.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the main reasons for drug attrition during pre-clinical and clinical phases of drug development as well as for drug withdrawal post-marketing.

Technologies that help to enhance our educational environments can be found everywhere.

Dissolution processes – next to aggregation processes - play an important role for fate prediction and environmental risk assessment of metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs). It is challenging to predict the kinetics of the dissolution process of MNPs in complex systems such as we can find in in vivo and…

In the Schouwburgstraat, LUGO is currently redesigning the back-garden in order to increase biodiversity and make it a more beautiful space. Throughout October 2023 until March 2024, we will be making changes to the garden with our team of volunteers.
