"Volume Outcome Association for Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy – a Meta-Analytical Approach"


Pim's elevator pitch
"This thesis delved into the critical exploration of volume-outcome associations in Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) lobectomy for primary lung cancer. As healthcare systems globally contemplate centralization, particularly in complex procedures, this study investigated the relationship between surgical annual case volume and early mortality. VATS lobectomy was found to have been an extremely safe procedure with a low mean mortality rate. A potential link between surgical volume and early mortality was identified, showcased by quartile differences. Notably, the research assembled the most extensive dataset for VATS lobectomy to date, ensuring a robust and diverse foundation for comprehensive long-term analysis."

"Sellout of Peacekeeping? Investigating the Effects of the Evolution of UN Policies on the Use of Private Security Companies in MONUSCO"


Vincent's elevator pitch
"How do the United Nations regulations on using Private Security Companies (PSCs) in peacekeeping missions affect peacekeepers "on the ground"? I answered this question through process tracing and a closer investigation of MONUSCO, the UN organization's stabilization mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through my thesis, I was able to clarify the dynamics between the late 1990s and early 2000s peacekeeping reforms and the increased use of PSCs in UN peacekeeping missions. Key findings of my thesis revealed a relationship between the evolution of UN policies on using PSCs and the practice of bunkerization, whereby peacekeepers increasingly retreat to fortified positions. A practice that, following my analysis, played a role in the local population losing trust in the peacekeepers on site."

"Maëlle was awarded the prize because of her outstanding study results and the fact that she participated in the FHML Honours Programme."


Maëlle's elevator pitch
"For my Bachelor’s in Medicine, I did not finish off my study with a thesis. Instead, I studied the functioning of the healthy and sick human body and acquired basic clinical skills while practicing on mannequins or on my fellow students. I shall never forget the excitement (and initial worries) when we injected one another or drew blood from one another for the very first time. Through patient contacts, I could also develop my interpersonal skills such as my communication skills and empathy. Next to my study, I worked 18 months on a project about ‘Genes & Identity’ for the FHML Honours Programme - learning a lot about team dynamics and what it means to work on a long-term project."

"Dutch Conditional Withholding Tax: How does the Dutch conditional withholding tax on dividends affect tax planning of multinationals established in the Netherlands?"


Esmée's elevator pitch
"The Netherlands has been a prominent conduit country for multinationals due to its low withholding tax rates on outgoing royalty, interest, and dividend payments. However, with the implementation of the conditional withholding tax on royalties and interest in 2021 and the scheduled addition on dividends in 2024, multinationals are considering shifting their tax residency. This thesis analyses how the conditional withholding tax affects the tax planning of Dutch-based multinationals. Critiques regarding the design of the conditional withholding tax reveal that the tax can be circumvented through various adjustments in group structures. Consequently, this thesis asserts that such loopholes could potentially impact the Dutch economy."

"Victims of Demographic Engineering: The Bulgarian Violence against Muslim Minorities during the Balkan Wars (1912-1913)"


Nia's elevator pitch
"The Balkan Wars (1912-1913) were a ferocious conflict in which civilians from all sides became the victims of horrific crimes, such as murder, expulsion and forced conversions. This violence is often attributed to a state-led campaign to construct a homogenous nation-state, but is that the case? This thesis offers a new understanding of the events through the theoretical lens of demographic engineering. By comparing the Bulgarian treatment of Turkish and Bulgarian Muslims, it demonstrates that violence was inflicted by multiple agents in a mostly uncoordinated manner for different reasons. Meanwhile the state had an ambiguous role simultaneously allowing or preventing violence against civilians."

"Care(ing) for Central and Eastern European Labour Migrants: A Scoping Review"


Evelien's elevator pitch
"Many EU countries heavily rely on labour migrants, particularly from Central and Eastern Europe, to fill workforce gaps. Despite having the freedom to work within the EU and enjoying cross-border healthcare rights, EU labour migrants' health often deteriorates after arriving in the host country due to precarious living and working conditions and underutilisation of healthcare. My scoping review investigates the barriers EU labour migrants face in accessing healthcare. The findings reveal barriers at various stages starting with differences in health culture, then barriers in seeking healthcare and finally, barriers in utilising healthcare. These barriers not only impede empowerment but also aggravate the lack of trust in healthcare. A way to cope with the barriers is to seek healthcare in the migrant’s country of origin. A proposed model visualises the barriers during different stages. Recommendations emphasize culturally sensitive care and increased employer support."
