… symptoms in axSpA and similar rheumatic diseases.

… future of the Union is a hotly debated topic at the moment with a lot of challenges ahead. During last night’s debate, I found it fascinating to be able to relate the content of my studies to the issues discussed on stage. It was also a great experience to witness a live debate and I saw a clear difference between political messages being conveyed via a screen as opposed to hearing them in person. The reactions of the people around me, something that cannot be portrayed on a live stream, allowed me to have a more complete experience. -- Philip Schacht MSc Economics specialisation Global Challenges and Macroeconomic Policy Photo: Michel Saive School of Business and Economics … The Maastricht Debate, a political debate between the “Spitzenkandidaten” of the leading …

… what they are implying. Open bijschrift Alma (links) en Giulia. After the workshop, we attended a presentation about the play A Seagull, where the play was analysed. For me, the most interesting part was what the speaker said about his personal experience with translating plays. Being able to talk with actors, a playwright, and a translator and seeing the theatre from the inside provided a very insightful look into what working for theatre means overall. And then we watched the play A Seagull … acting of the actors drew me into the play itself, because the emotions they connoted made the surtitles easy to follow. The scenery, empty except for the necessary things, also helped me focus on the actors. I would definitely recommend this experience to people interested in theatre and art. And if there are more plays in English or with surtitles, I will undoubtedly attend.” The expressive acting of the actors drew me into the play itself, because the emotions they connoted made the … me understand the play that we watched later in the evening, A Seagull. As I followed the scenes, I couldn’t help it but reconnect what I learned in the workshop to the play and admire the complexity of the work that Chekhov had given life to.

At the CAPHRI research institute in Maastricht, a 5-member team led by Professor Hans Bosma is working on a large-scale study on socioeconomic inequality and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). In this, they are looking at underlying factors such as the living and working environment of people with a lower socioeconomic status (SES) and to what extent these hinder a healthier lifestyle (and thus lowering the risk of T2DM). The first results were published recently on the influence of SES on the development of T2DM and the mediating role the psychosocial work environment plays. The team used data from over 8000 participants in De Maastricht Studie for their research.
