… is of importance in the context of public health. However, while glial cells are known to play an important role in brain metabolism overall, their particular metabolic functions and interactions are far from understood. Hypothesis and Objectives: This project will study the metabolic functions of different types of glial cells, as well as their metabolic interactions, and how these are affected in aging and different pathological conditions. Setting and Methods: The project will make use of … diseases and other pathological conditions could help to elucidate disease mechanisms as well as suggest potential intervention strategies – with strong potential impact in healthy aging and disease diagnosis and therapy. Requirements candidate: Highly motivated student with good English communication skills and proactive and resolute attitude. The project requires good programming skills and an interest for the complexity and diversity of the brain’s heterocellular population. The ideal candidate would have a foundation in biochemistry and cellular metabolism on the one hand, and some computational skills on the other hand, preferably in Matlab. Applications with background in only the biochemical or computational side are still …

… Joel Karel (Chair Board of Examiners), Ellen Narinx, MA. (Managing Director), Desirée Parren, MSc. (Education Development Officer). Development Dialogue - introduction The Development Dialogue is part of the Dutch (re-)accreditation procedure.

The topics discussed are not part of the official assessment of the respective … the recognisability and lay more emphasis on the AI component of the programme. DKE is therefore interested in the views of the panel regarding the new programme name Data Science and AI and the expected consequences for the programme following this name-change. During the academic year 2016-2017, the Bachelor programme Knowledge Engineering changed its name to Data Science and Knowledge Engineering under the approval of the NVAO (Nederlands- Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie). This was granted … due to the current and global interest in AI. The adding of the term AI could result in a greater inflow of students who are diverse in educational backgrounds and who differentiate in mathematics levels. To prevent the inflow of students with significant math B deficiencies, the panel advises to remain strict on the Mathematics B admission requirement. Furthermore, in relation to the profile of the Bachelor programme, the panel advises to make a clear distinction between Data Science and AI and to …

… that the official QAC procedures were presented to and accepted by the School Council. 2. Proposed change in audit process DS has explained the QAC’s views on changing the audit procedure to CAPHRI management, who accepted the committee’s view on this. Therefore there will be no specific focus on external funded projects. 3. Audit updates DS reported that since the last meeting 12 further projects have been audited. Response rates have improved with follow-up from CAPHRI administration. One researcher approached DS asking for project to be audited. The Committee agreed that this proactive approach should be encouraged among researchers. DS explained that he has collated information about the number of audit requests sent, replies received and audits conducted for the last four years to share with the CAPHRI external … what issues occur in the audits and the issue of logbooks came up. DS said that most projects only keep an informal logbook consisting of minutes of meetings. MS suggested that logbook phrasing should be changed on QAC webpages stating that minutes can also serve as a log book. LW raised the issue of some personal issues occurring in supervisory PhD meetings. BP suggested that the advice should be that decisions are documented but that any pastoral/ personal notes should be able to be redacted in …

… 2022FHML_Langie_Repairing obesity DNA repair deficiency as key player in the development of obesity and the subsequent cancer risk Priority: 基础研究 / Basic Research and 人类健康与疾病的生物学基础 / Biological Foundations of Human Health and Diseases Team: Prof. FJ van Schooten, Dr. Sabine Langie, Dr. Godschalk Roger; Dep. Pharmacology & Toxicology Key words: base excision repair (BER), cancer, genotype, mitochondria, obesogenic environment The number of obese people is increasing and this cannot be explained solely by excessive consumption and/ or reduced physical activity. Research indicates that weight gain is influenced by interactions between our genes and our environment. In addition, various studies showed positive … multivariate analyses will assess associations of genetic variants, defined as "at risk" BER genotype, with exposure (obesogenic environment) and effect data (obese phenotype). These data will subsequently be confirmed in a separate population. This research will give crucial new insights in the role of DNA repair in the development of obesity and cancer risk. Techniques include: exome sequencing, bioinformatics, biostatistics, sample processing, DNA isolation, etc. Related publications of …

… in the Chinese criminal procedure The right to silence is one of the most important procedural rights and a generally recognized international standard which lies at the heart of the notion of a fair trial. It is, however, also a controversial right. This is especially true for the Chinese context where, traditionally, there has mailto:dorris.devocht@maastrichtuniversity.nl mailto:robert.horselenberg@maastrichtuniversity.nl https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-020-00726-z always been a legal duty to provide evidence for those that have information on a criminal case. This obligation has clear links to Confucian principles relying heavily on protecting society above all. Over the last few years, some legal changes have been made – introducing the privilege against self-incrimination – but the current legal framework … ‘absolute’ principles of western criminal procedure, the project will also focus on the importance of the cultural context in the promotion of due process rights. More specifically, the project will consider whether and how these western principles can be reconciled with the Chinese approach to criminal investigation. The project would be an Asian follow up of the current EmpRiSe project focusing on the right to silence in the law and practice of four European legal systems (see: …
