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. ...

Forward modeling of collective Thomson scattering for Wendelstein 7-X plasmas:Electrostatic approximation

In this paper, we present a method for numerical computation of collective Thomson scattering (CTS). We developed a forward model, eCTS, in the electrostatic approximation and benchmarked it against a full electromagnetic model. Differences between the electrostatic and the electromagnetic models are discussed. The sensitivity of the results to the ion temperature and the plasma composition is demonstrated. We integrated the model into the Bayesian data analysis framework Minerva and used it for the analysis of noisy synthetic data sets produced by a full electromagnetic model. It is shown that eCTS can be used for the inference of the bulk ion temperature. The model has been used to infer the bulk ion temperature from the first CTS measurements on Wendelstein 7-X.</p
