… 4 3 1. General Within each Master's programme in the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML), ten to twenty weeks have been allocated for a ‘placement’ and for writing the Master's research report. This report must be written as a journal article (i.e., a paper that can be submitted to a scientific journal) or as a classical thesis (hereinafter referred to as ‘article/thesis’; see appendix 1 and 2 for more information). The placement is centred on independent preparation, planning and conducting of academic research, which means that the student is to gain experience with executing academic research under supervision. This research will be the basis for the Master's article/thesis. Obviously, the subject of the placement and the article/thesis will have to be in line with the chosen Master's degree programme/specialisation. The student must have fulfilled the …

Date and Venue … hard or even impossible to transfer idle funds to more efficient uses; new ideas, innovative products, and productive investments will therefore have to be abandoned, and the society will in turn be trapped into status quo. Financial markets, however, cannot function well without the support of a well designed and effectively operating regulatory regime, which can be relied on to correct market failures, reduce transaction costs, and avoid systemic risks. The financial crisis of 2008 has not only … damage long-term economic efficiency? Will the health of financial system be improved by certain regulatory reforms, such as the Dodd-Frank Act or the Third Basel Accord? We will attempt to address such issues from a law and economics perspective in this seminar. A better understanding of the relationship between law and finance is not only important for the U.S. and EU, who are still suffering from the financial crisis of 2008, but is also extremely meaningful for China, which is struggling to …

… 7 Discussion and solution 7 Case: Tuberculosis (TB) 8 Seven Step Approach 10 Practical: Debate 11 3 Programme Preparation for the Experience Day During your first Problem-Based Learning session, you will work on a case. To be able to discuss this case during the Experience Day, we recommend you to read the case in this information booklet and review the links to the literature sources. Studying these literature sources is called self-study. This is necessary to answer the learning objectives from the pre-discussion of the case. Programme on-campus Experience Day … problems you analyse are also the subject of important academic research being conducted at Maastricht University. During the preliminary discussion, you formulate learning objectives that you all have to study at your own for the next meeting. You can find more information about the seven steps of PBL at the next pages. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Step 1 until 5 Step 6 Step 7 Do independent study, Discuss the findings and solve Preliminary discussion individually or in smaller groups and …

However, a productive interaction between NE and PAD4, which are both released during NETosis, has never been investigated. In this project, the PhD candidate will investigate the interactions between PAD4 and NE by means of biophysical, biochemical, chemical and computational approaches, such as direct binding measurement (e.g. BiaCore), Western blot, mass spectrometry, …

… well-designed non- regulatory means’. While the involvement of private parties in EU administrative governance has the clear advantage of delivering policies which are based on the expertise of the regulatees, private-party rule-making raises significant concerns in terms of its legitimacy. The proposed special issue aims at examining the system of co-regulation via European standardisation from the perspectives of different sectors of the EU law. In this manner, this special issue will also address the wide range of concerns raised by the phenomenon of private-party rule making of which European standardisation is a representative example. The special issue aims at filling the gap in research in the area of EU …

… popular of these choice models are McFadden’s (1974) conditional logit model, awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2000, and the mixed logit model. Subsequent Nobel prize winning theories from behavioural economics (Kahneman, 2002; Thaler 2017) questioned this utility theory of so-called “optimal behaviour” because various anomalies resulting from individually irrational behaviour could be observed in reality. The research by Kessels is widely known for the creation of partial profile designs for DCEs … https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=XQ9I7fAAAAAJ&hl=en mailto:t.vanderzanden@maastrichtuniversity.nl https://www.tomvanderzanden.nl/ mailto:yicheng.mao@maastrichtuniversity.nl In contrast to considering all profiles in a choice task, respondents can also use non- compensatory heuristics by screening a choice set and ignoring certain profiles based on their attribute levels. Current research has shown that proper designs for non- compensatory choice models such as screening-rule based choice … partial profile designs for compensatory choice models can be employed for the estimation of non-compensatory screening models, or even more, in which situations partial profile designs are equivalent to non- compensatory designs. The objective of this proposal is threefold: 1. To compare compensatory partial profile design strategies with non-compensatory design strategies for the estimation of non-compensatory screening models underlying DCEs; 2. To develop new non-compensatory design methods, …

… Text: Sanne Tummers Photos: Joris Hilterman Living and working on the Sorbonnelaan student campus The area on the Sorbonnelaan in the Maastricht neighbourhood of Randwyck looked somewhat bare and remote about two years ago. This was mainly due to the modular and temporary appearance of the student houses that were quickly built there . Meanwhile, the area is increasingly taking on the character of a real student campus thanks to the green areas, meeting places and the mix … Some 900 studios have been built on the Sorbonnelaan site in Randwyck over the past two years. These are largely occupied by students. In addition, a small part has been set up as an assisted living facility for care organisation LEVANTO Group. In this way, different people come together at the location. The studios are 18m2 and have their own kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Most are offered furnished. The complex is managed by Plaza Resident Services and has a caretaker present on weekdays. In addition, someone from the management company is available 24/7 in case of emergencies. Residents can use various communal areas. They also live opposite MUMC+ and in close proximity to UM’s Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Faculty of Health Medicine and Life Sciences and the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

… As a concrete example, look at Apple’s patent application for the AirPods (see images above). Their product is not just a music listening device. It is a miniscule but immensely powerful data extraction factory. With countless tiny sensors in the ear canal, it can perceive amongst others facial expressions, side-to-side eye movements, and even brain waves (Apple Inc., 2023). Figure 1 images from the patent application by Apple (Apple Inc., 2023) But these sensors do not just, feel, see, sniff, or … by design or by flaw, end up disadvantaging entire groups within society? As our lives become more sensorized, the line between helpful tech and intrusive surveillance may sometimes blur. It is interesting to look at who gets to decide where to draw this line… The Experience day challenge: In this task, you will take on the role of a digital architect: you will be building your own automated system. For this, you will use Arduino Student Kits to unravel what goes on inside a computer system that may sometimes feel like a black box. How does …
