Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

This pioneering project will answer this question by examining migrants through the eyes of the courts between 1600 and 1900. It aims to reveal patterns of continuity and change in: 1. Treatment of migrants by criminal courts; 2. Violence and conflicts between migrants and native born.

Voorspellingen doen over emotionele problemen of de effecten van lichtvervuiling: algoritmen van Marjolein Fokkema kunnen het steeds beter. Ze maakt haar algoritmen steeds flexibeler, zodat ze niet alleen kenmerken op één moment kunnen voorspellen, maar ook hoe bijvoorbeeld vaardigheden toe- of afne…

Hans Ulrich Scherer, Leidse hoogleraar translationele reumatologie, staat met zijn ene been in de kliniek, waar hij patiënten helpt. Daarnaast begeleidt hij onderzoekers in het laboratorium. In zijn zoektocht naar reumatische auto-immuunziektes slaat hij een brug tussen beide werelden.

What are the flows of C&DW (e.g. bricks, concrete, gypsum and wood) in the case study countries ? How to define the specification for each material to be quantified? What indicators should be used to identify the pattern of each C&DW management system? How to interpret the MFA results in relation…

Het onderzoek van de sectie Gezondheids-, Medische en Neuropsychologie richt zich op de psychologische aspecten van gezondheid en ziekte, en op het ontwikkelen van innovatieve behandelingen.

The research group Politics, Culture and National Identities 1789-present investigates a wide range of national political cultures in Europe and the Americas in the 19th and 20th centuries. Instead of only analyzing high politics (the acts of governments and political parties), the research group focuses…

In the spring of 2025, Studium Generale will host several Global Challenges lectures at Leiden University College The Hague. We begin on December 10, 2024, International Human Rights Day, with a panel discussion about children's rights in conflict zones, focusing on the right to education during and…

Het onderzoek van eLaw sluit vooral (maar niet uitsluitend) aan bij het facultaire onderzoeksprogramma Effective Protection of Fundamental Rights in a Pluralist World. De centrale onderzoeksvraag van dit programma is: welke kansen en bedreigingen vloeien voort uit de institutionele en normatieve diversiteit…

In this thesis we study bistable reaction-diffusion equations on lattice domains.

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.

What impact does a mid-season wildfire have on grassland invertebrates?

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

Het gebruik van ‘Big data’ is niet meer weg te denken binnen het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Voor dit onderzoek maken we gebruiken van diverse grote databestanden.

n this PhD thesis, the recombination of different atomic lattices in stacked 2D materials such as twisted bilayer graphene is studied. Using the different possibilities of Low-Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM), the domain forming between the two atomic layers with small differences is studied.

Thermodynamics is one of the founding scientific pillars that has helped us better understand heat engines, biology, ecosystems, and even black holes. While it fundamentally describes large systems by examining the bulk behavior of their constituents, it is anchored in the statistical equivalence of…

This thesis is devoted to an in-depth examination of the various effects of disorder in the cuprate high-temperature superconductors.

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Organisms often need to adapt more efficiently and devise new strategies for surviving difficult ecological circumstances.
