“Prevention and compensation of trans-boundary damage in relation to cross-border (oil and gas) pipelines”
Cross-border pipelines provide a relatively safe but economic tool for transportation of large quantities of oil and gas across international borders. Meanwhile pipelines cannot be kept completely safe from accidents, like in 2004 near Brussels (24 people died) and in 2010 in Michigan (oil spill that contaminated wildlife habitat). This thesis addresses the impact and application of various policy instruments and regulation at the international level, which may be considered as an appropriate instrument to guarantee the safety of cross-border oil and gas pipelines. It makes a contribution to the comprehension of the possible damage which may be caused by the construction and operation of the pipelines. Furthermore, it has tried to provide a multi-faceted assessment of the regulatory framework governing the prevention and compensation of trans-boundary damage which may be caused by oil and gas pipelines. Piri reveales that there are still deficiencies in the prevention and compensation of such trans-boundary damage.
Key words:
cross-border pipelines, trans-boundary accidents,safety and environmental regulations

“Biological mechanisms of environmental stressors in psychiatry”
This thesis aims to better understand the relationships between inflammation and mood disorders. Using molecular approaches on clinical patient groups, this thesis provides further evidence for the role of immune-related pathways in the mechanism of action of lithium for mood stabilization in bipolar disorder and electroconvulsive therapy for treatment-resistant depression. It furthermore has extended the current knowledge about antidepressant effects of infliximab (an anti-inflammatory) in Crohn’s Disease. These novel insights form the next steps showing that immune-related pathways are relevant for the onset and treatment of mood disorders and have the potential to deliver important prognostic information to personalize and optimize treatment.

"Syndromic surveillance; Made in Europe"
The health of the population is threatened by various disease outbreaks, natural disasters or man-made threats. Rapid information is crucial to prevent spread of disease, target interventions and control rumours. However, current health information systems are too slow and focus on previously defined infectious diseases only. Ziemann found that analysing alternative, already existing, electronic information sources such as emergency care patient records or web searches provide supplementary, near real-time information on the public health impact of different infectious and non-infectious threats. Comparing experiences with such information sources across several European countries resulted in concrete recommendations to improve health information practice.

“Climate change and dengue transmission in Vietnam: An integrated assessment”
This thesis discusses in what different ways climate change might affect dengue fever transmission in Hanoi, Vietnam. Three aspects were researched: potential effects of climate change on dengue transmission; potential changes in dengue fever patterns; and public perceptions on climate change and human health. Toan demonstrates that climate can affect the size and geographical spread of the dengue epidemic through both direct and indirect effects on the virus, the vector and the population. As the climate continues to change, we can expect continued spread of the disease in Vietnam. This thesis contributes to the understanding of the burden of dengue disease, its epidemiology and disease transmission. The findings from detailed investigations will be relevant for other areas especially in Southeast Asia with a similar context.
Key words:
dengue fever, climate change, transmission

“Extracorporeal life support – Applications and considerations”
Extracorporeal Life Support is a further development of the heart-lung machine, to support function of the heart, lungs or both. The application of this support is considered for patients who are quite moribund and fail conventional therapies. The thesis focuses on when to consider applying this complex, lifesaving technology and when it might not be suitable. Further, Sharma aimed to identify newer indications for organ support and also addresses inherent questions arising from the application of the support system, e.g. the potential application of extracorporeal life support to resuscitate patients from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the Maastricht region or to facilitate recovery of the lungs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Sharma also gives suggestions to make the application of extracorporeal life support much safer.

“Optimizing intersectoral collaboration in school health; creating win-win situations and a systematic implementation based on the diagnosis of sustainable collaboration model”
The first aim of this dissertation was to evaluate the possible gains that can be made by implementing health promotion in schools for the educational sector. We found promising but limited evidence for the relationship between interventions targeting energy balance and academic performance. The evidence for mechanisms explaining this relationship was limited to hypothetical assumptions from other studies.
The second aim of this dissertation was to study the systematic development of intersectoral collaboration as part of a broader advisory trajectory designed for health professionals engaged in CSHP collaborations. This was examined using the DIagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration (DISC) model. This research yields a strong message, namely that a systematic approach to intersectoral collaboration in CSHP seems effective and that the DISC model is an appropriate tool for this purpose.
Keywords:
school health promotion, intersectoral collaboration

“Procesoptimalisatie van gedragsinterventies”
Jaarlijks worden miljarden euro’s geïnvesteerd in (om- en bij-)scholingstrajecten. Voor organisaties zou het van belang kunnen zijn om een inschatting te kunnen maken van de kosten en de mogelijke opbrengsten daarvan. In dit proefschrift is een methodiek ontwikkeld om gedragsverandering te meten en de effectiviteit van (gedrags)interventies/trainingen te vergroten. Binnen een internationaal productiebedrijf zijn het concept en meetinstrument voor een procesoptimalisatie ontwikkeld en later in drie casestudies toegepast. De uitkomsten geven een positief beeld over de ontwikkelde methode. Lastig blijft de relatief kleine steekproefomvang en daarmee de statistische verwerking van dergelijk onderzoek.
Trefwoorden:
Procesoptimalisatie, gedrag, trainingen, effectiviteit

“Looking for the right path; technology dynamics, incentive strategies and catching-up in the semiconductor industry”
The evolution of technology is a key driver of economic and societal change. In this dissertation, a new theoretical framework is developed to study how firms in the Semiconductor industry tackle engineering design challenges to make new and better devices. The never-ending miniaturization of microchips allowed the creation of new electronic products like smart-phones, tablets and flat-screen monitors. However, it also forced firms to deal with the rise of design challenges caused by the smaller scale of transistors, such as heat dissipation and faster deterioration. By analysing patent citation networks, it was revealed which firms tackled those challenges by applying well-established design approaches and which one explored new paths. It was also investigated whether there is a life cycle of design challenges and problem-solving approaches during the technological evolution of an industry. The focus was on the inventive strategies followed by catching-up firms. The novel theoretical framework and network analysis methods described in this dissertation are of great value for scholars of innovation and technology dynamics, policy makers and technology managers.
Keywords:
