A theoretical framework for analysing the contribution of education to sustainable peacebuilding: 4Rs in conflict-affected contexts

This paper presents the theoretical and analytic framework for a Research Consortium on Education and Peacebuilding supported by UNICEF’s Peacebuilding, Education and Advocacy (PBEA) programme which began in July 2014 led by the Universities of Amsterdam, Sussex and Ulster. The consortium seeks to build knowledge on the relationship between education and peacebuilding in conflict‐affected contexts and has emerged out of a long‐standing relationship between the authors, UNICEF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of the Netherlands that stretches back to 2006

Chemotherapie bij bacillaire dysenterie

Uit een studie van de litteratuur over chemotherapie met sulfanilamidederivaten blijkt, dat de gevoeligheid van shigellae voor de preparaten nog weinig is nagegaan. Dit feit was aanleiding, om langs verschillende wijze te trachten meer inzicht in de werkzaamheid der chemotherapeutica van de sulfanilamidereeks ten opzichte van bacillaire dysenterie te verkrijgen. ...

Direct calculation of the critical Casimir force in a binary fluid

We show that critical Casimir effects can be accessed through direct simulation of a model binary fluid passing through the demixing transition. We work in the semi grand canonical ensemble, in slab geometry, in which the Casimir force appears as the excess of the generalized pressure, $P_{\bot}-n\mu$. The excesses of the perpendicular pressure, $P_{\bot}$, and of $n\mu$, are individually of much larger amplitude. A critical pressure anisotropy is observed between forces parallel and perpendicular to the confinement direction, which collapses onto a universal scaling function closely related to that of the critical Casimir force
