Research Ethics for Students in the Social Sciences

By: Jaap Bos

This open access textbook offers a practical guide into research ethics for undergraduate students in the social sciences. A step-by-step approach of the most viable issues, in-depth discussions of case histories and a variety of didactical tools will aid the student to grasp the issues at hand and help him or her develop strategies to deal with them. This book addresses problems and questions that any bachelor student in the social sciences should be aware of, including plagiarism, data fabrication and other types of fraud, data augmentation, various forms of research bias, but also peer pressure, issues with confidentiality and questions regarding conflicts of interest. Cheating, ‘free riding’, and broader issues that relate to the place of the social sciences in society are also included. The book concludes with a step-by-step approach designed to coach a student through a research application process.

Fractal Modelling

Growth and Form in Biology

By: Jaap A. Kaandorp

In this book, methods from fractal geometry are applied to model growth forms, taking as a case study a type of growth process which can be found among various taxonomic classes such as sponges and corals. These models can be used, for example, to understand the amazing variety of forms to be found in a coral reef and to simulate their growth with 2D and 3D geometrical objects. Models which mimic the growth of forms and the environmental influence on the growth process are also useful for ecologists, as a combination of simulation models together with the actual growth forms can be used to detect the effects of slow changes in the environment.

How can Corporate Real Estate managers and Facility managers translate an organisation's strategy into a real estate strategy that optimally aligns demand and supply, and adds value in a sustainable and socially responsible way?

How to balance different functional, experiential, architectonical and technical requirements, budget, time, and legal preconditions? This book discusses Corporate Real Estate (CRE) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) from the perspective of organisations, individual users, other stakeholders, and society. It presents theories, models and methods for analysing demand and supply and the best possible match. It discusses how to implement a CRE strategy by setting up project-based business cases, developing design briefs, and managing CRE interventions and CRE operations. Finally, it describes different options for the organisational design of CREM, sourcing strategies, required competencies, and future prospects. As such, the book covers the whole life cycle of corporate real estate. It integrates knowledge from different disciplines, including corporate real estate and facility management, environmental psychology, ergonomics, business administration, and many more. The authors have decades of experience in de field, as practitioners, teachers, and researchers. Jan Gerard Hoendervanger currently works as an independent CRE consultant.

Frans Hals

Master of the Fleeting Moment

By: Jaap van der Veen,Friso Lammertse,Bart Cornelis,Erik Eising,Dagmar Hirschfelder,Katja Kleinert,Justus Lange

Frans Hals is one of the most important portrait painters of all time. Like Rembrandt, the famous Dutch Baroque master's striking portraits of the bourgeoisie and social outsiders are distinguished by their extraordinary vividness and accurate depiction. His sketch-like paintings, executed with bold brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting. This comprehensive publication coincides with the first major survey exhibition of Hals' oeuvre in more than thirty years. FRANS HALS (1582/84–1666) was born in Antwerp, the son of a cloth merchant. In 1610 he was accepted into the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke. Hals created hundreds of genre paintings, individual, and group portraits and enjoyed great public prestige. Despite his fame during his lifetime, it was not until the nineteenth century that he was enthusiastically rediscovered by the Impressionists and Realists.

The Crypto Controversy:A Key Conflict in the Information Society

By: Bert-Jaap Koops

Cryptography is essential for information security and electronic commerce, yet it can also be abused by criminals to thwart police wiretaps and computer searches. How should governments address this conflict of interests? Will they require people to deposit crypto keys with a `trusted' agent? Will governments outlaw cryptography that does not provide for law-enforcement access? This is not yet another study of the crypto controversy to conclude that this or that interest is paramount. This is not a study commissioned by a government, nor is it a report that campaigns on the electronic frontier. The Crypto Controversy is neither a cryptography handbook nor a book drenched in legal jargon. The Crypto Controversy pays attention to the reasoning of both privacy activists and law-enforcement agencies, to the particulars of technology as well as of law, to `solutions' offered both by cryptographers and by governments. Koops proposes a method to balance the conflicting interests and applies this to the Dutch situation, explaining both technical and legal issues for anyone interested in the subject.
