… ‘network’ or ‘inter-organizational relations’ are keywords in many digital heritage projects. This paper presents part of ongoing research on digital heritage policy and practice in the Netherlands and in Europe. Based on own experiences with digital (heritage) projects such as Amsterdam Time Machine and Culture Monitor, as well as observations of other projects, I first argue that collaboration in digital heritage give rise both collaborative ‘advantages’ and ‘inertia’, then question the validity of such a terms in the heritage research context, and conclude with a commoning- inspired perspective on collective approaches to digital heritage. Motivations for collaboration, expected advantages, and factors for success or failure have been discussed extensively in existing literature. Collaboration is often … as social responsibility, inclusion and diversity take center stage in both heritage policy and practice, we could develop collective approaches to digital heritage as the preferred way to organize our research and practice. In this way, collaboration can also be understood as a means to pursuing collective approaches to digital heritage, which may then even become inseparable from the heritage ‘product’ itself. https://www.cultuurmonitor.nl/ https://www.timemachine.eu/ …

… cellular agriculture, a revolutionary and innovative technology that allows to meet future food protein needs using sustainable alternatives to traditional animal farming. Our project focuses on assessing the potential toxicological risks associated with these proteins, including allergenicity, anti-nutritional effects, genotoxicity, endocrine disruption and digestibility. Additionally, we aim to understand the legislative requirements for the safety assessment of these novel proteins and their production methods to ensure they meet regulatory standards and can be safely integrated into the market. Combining a multifaceted approach combining in vitro, in silico and in vivo models. Special attention will be given to the potential application of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and animal-free methods. …

… is accomplished. This assumes that in practice transfer learning needs to be enhanced by reliability and explainability. Reliable transfer learning could give a user the assurance that the probability of failure is bounded by a pre-specified significance level. Explainable transfer learning could make it clear to a user what has been transferred and why, or what are reasons for successful transfer or transfer failure. Successful development of Explainable and Reliable Transfer Learning will create a kind of trust from a user perspective that can be a game changer for applied transfer learning. Objectives: This proposal aims at developing an approach to transfer learning that provides statistical reliability and explanations for failure/success in a predefined language.

… arousal in their relationship and this process is stagnated in case of sexual problems. Hypothesis and Objectives: (1) Does intrapersonal sexual concordance vary as a function of partner presence and gender? (2) What pattern of temporal (co)variation can be detected in the sexual arousal responses of both partners and what are the underlying mechanisms that moderate intra- and interpersonal sexual concordance? (3) What is the hormonal basis of coregulation (i.e., oxytocine, dopamine)? (4) How do intra- and interpersonal sexual concordance operate in the context of sexual distress? Setting and Methods: We will combine dyadic research with laboratory, experience sampling, and prospective designs in both ‘healthy’ and clinical samples, using biopsychosocial measures. Impact: This interpersonal perspective contributes to the promotion of sexual health and well-being because it yields … Annual Review of Sex Research, 49, 105-124. 4.

… Johan Vlaeyen, PhD & Linda Vancleef, PhD Proposal (250 words): Introduction: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is newly introduced in the DSM-5 as a disorder in need for further study. NSSI behaviors are alarmingly frequent in the general population with prevalence rates between 13% and 45%. However, the rates rise to 50% in clinical samples, where NSSI behaviors are present in a broad range of different disorders, including personality disorders, mood disorders, and eating disorders. The dominant explanatory models for the etiology of NSSI postulate that the main function of self-injury is the avoidance of high arousal negative emotions, such as anger. However, recent studies in our lab suggested that NSSI can also be triggered by boredom, characterized by low arousal and lack of external stimulation. Hypothesis and Objectives: The contribution of two distinct routes on triggering NSSI will be tested: 1. Negative high arousal emotions and 2. Boredom, … prevention of self-injurious behavior in patients and non-clinical populations and for facilities in which people experience lack of stimulation for prolonged periods (i.e. hospitals, clinics, prisons). Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. Keywords: Clinical psychology, mental health, non-suicidal self-injury, pain, experimental psychopathology, boredom, arousal. Top 5 selected publications: 1. Nederkoorn, C., …
