Various environmental forcings can affect phytoplankton blooms, resulting in changes in bloom timing and abundance, which can have many far-reaching consequences. Understanding bloom phenology is crucial to predict and counter any potential harmful changes. The North Sea is an important fishing ground, and any changes in phytoplankton bloom patterns can have a significant impact on the region'
Background To learn from incidents, it is imperative that people involved feel safe to share their complete unadulterated stories without fearing punishment. Recently, the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service has begun to offer general aviation pilots an alternative to prosecution. Objective Gain insights into the lived experiences of the adjudged pilots and the public prosecutor for aviation an
In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. HPAEC analysis was used to find how the product distr
Gambian migrants have been amongst the top-nationalities arriving to European shores by ‘irregular’ means. While ‘irregular’ migration is often extremely risky and dangerous, the Gambian government has only been limitedly engaged in governing this migration. Instead, several non-state actors have stepped in. This thesis explores different approaches to governing migration from the Gambia towards E
Revolutions are historically recurring events, from the French Revolution to the Arab Spring. This thesis explores two plausible pre-revolution connections to post-revolution democracy levels, measuring democracy as a spectrum rather than a threshold. The first concerns the potential relation between pre-revolution democracy and post-revolution democracy. The second regards whether there is a patt
This thesis focusses on three distinct unevenness’s seen within the Covid-19 pandemic. Geographical unevenness shows in an uneven spread in and between countries. Societal unevenness is seen as Covid-19 deaths mainly occur in the elderly population, or people with underlying conditions. Finally, governmental policy unevenness is seen between countries as some have imposed strict health measures, a
Preliminary firm level evidence suggests that macroprudential policies reduce firm credit growth and MSME investment, and could therefore have a negative impact on economic growth. However, the question remains if macroprudential policies affect R\&D investments as well. Although R&D is primarily financed internally, the literature also suggests that debt financing may be used to some degr
The regularization of forcibly displaced migrants is promoted by NGOs and intergovernmental organizations as a good practice in migration policy. Regularization of forcibly displaced migrants increases their protection, facilitates their access to necessary services, increases their resiliency, and provides access to the formal labor market. Furthermore, providing forced migrants the right to work
We examine the effect of natural resource shocks on violence by drug cartels at the municipality level in rural Mexico from 2003 to 2017. For this, we use an Instrumental Variable setup by instrumenting our main explanatory variable vegetation density with rainfall. Vegetation density is an indicator for natural resource shocks and reflects the “greenness" in a particular area which is consid

Problem discussion: There are still today many problems related to health in developing countries. When reasoning on how to deal with these problems, it is important to study the determinants of health in each country. Each country has got its own characteristics. The development process never ends, and each health care system needs to be adaptable for the ongoing changes, in order to meet local n
Offending images are representations that hurt people’s feelings deeply. My thesis deals with the way in which people read and interpret these offending images. It becomes important to understand what makes some viewers vulnerable to a certain image thereby provoking strong reactions against it. The aim is to put myself at the receiving end, in the place of those who are offended and look at the i
This essay investigates the extent to which the four emerging Central Eastern European stock markets of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine have become integrated with the developed market of the European Union over the sample period from 1997 to 2010. Rolling-window correlation and a more advanced, dynamic conditional correlation approach with GARCH and EGARCH specifications are utili
Purpose - This study is about the triadic relationship with a Triple Helix approach between the state, industry and university in Japan. The intention is to see if an increase in collaboration between the three actors generates an increase in patents, start-up companies and new organisations. I will use the Triple Helix model as a hypothesis and see if the increase in collaboration leads to an inc
Background: Along the rapid economic growth and social change in China a more liberal attitude towards pre-marital sex has emerged Aim: To examine how nurses in urban China view young unmarried women’s knowledge, information need as well as the nurses’ desires for quality improvement within sexual and reproductive health. Results: One overall theme appeared, “A shy search for information”. Main ca
Batteries and renewable energy sources are key to the green energy transition and decarbonization. The EU has plans for green energy transitions and to mitigate climate change, but it is still largely dependent on imported fossil fuels. China dominates resources, materials and technologies for green energy transitions. With the recent energy crisis and Russian invasion of Ukraine, energy security
Three quinoa-containing breads made from three different varieties of quinoa were presented as test products to be compared with a control of regular white wheat bread. The study was a randomised controlled single-blind, crossover in which blood glucose, insulin and subjective appetite sensations “Hunger”, “Satiety” and “Desire to eat” were measured in regular intervals during a three hours period
