Population growth and urbanisation trends bring many consequences related to the increase in global energy consumption, CO2 emissions and a decrease in arable land per person. High‑rises have been one of the inevitable buildings of metropoles to provide extra floor space since the early examples in the 19th century. Therefore, optimisation of high-rise buildings has been the focus of researchers because of significant performance enhancement, mainly in energy consumption and generation. Bas...

The common saying is that people have a culture. This book argues that people live a culture – which may explain why they are so affectively attached to it. By considering cultural interactions on a global scale, this book investigates how cultures can be understood in terms of conflict and cooperation, in relation to the nationstate, a multiplicity of worlds, society, civilization and community. It considers how culture is at the basis of the construction of individual and collective selve...

In guerrilla warfare such as the Indonesian War of Independence, intelligence is critical for achieving military success. No wonder, then, that the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia waged a grim intelligence war from 1945-1949 by means of espionage, infiltration and other – often extremely violent – methods, including the interrogation of prisoners. In addition, both Dutch and Indonesians set up – with varying degrees of success – an extensive alarm system to warn their own tr...

'Revolutionary Worlds' looks at the Indonesian revolution (1945-1949) from a local and regional perspective.

The authors explain how Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and Eurasian civilians, fighters, farmers and officials experienced and shaped the chaotic period between 1945 and 1950. The book focuses on survival strategies, mobilization, and the use of force agains...

This doctoral study focuses on a relational approach to recovery as an addition to the dominant individualized interpretations of addiction recovery. It explores the (enabling or disabling) role of social networks and broader societal contexts in which recovery processes are embedded, without disregarding the deeply personal nature of addiction recovery in terms of building a meaningful life.

This dissertation is based on the Recovery Pathways (REC-PATH) research project, a longitudinal and m...

Charts are an excellent way to share complex ideas or large amounts of data with your audience. But they are also hard to make: which chart works best in which situation – and why? What color scheme should you use to strengthen your message? What are some common pitfalls to avoid? How can you add the perfect title, labels, legend and caption? And how do you move beyond a boring pie or bar chart?

Powerful Charts explains how basic design and communication principles help you decide which cha...

We could no longer dance and I could not deliver some stickers I promised to get for my colleague Irina, who shares a workspace with me.

So, I sent them by post and added a drawing. 52 times and 2 more followed.

Nadia Naveau combineert in haar werk ernst met speelsheid. Als geen ander weet de beeldhouwster de toeschouwer te verleiden en een gevoel van vervreemding op te roepen.

Let’s Play it by Ear is niet alleen een terugblik op twintig jaar kunstpraktijk maar ook, net zoals haar sculpturen, een visuele puzzel van materialen en referenties aan vroeger en nu.

Publicatie bij de expo Nadia Naveau – Bringer Together in de Warande in Turnhout van 12 december 2021 tot 3 april 2022.
