Deir el Bahari is een archeologische site op de westoever van de Nijl in Egypte, waarvan de ruimte in de verschillende perioden op verschillende manieren gebruikt werd. In de faraonische periode werden hier de grote tempels van Mentoehotep II en van Hatsjepsoet gebouwd. Ook Thoetmosis III bouwde hier een kleinere tempel. In de Grieks-Romeinse periode hergebruikten de Ptolemaeën de tempel van Hatsjepsoet uit de faraonische periode voor hun eigen religieuze doeleinden en werden er aanpassingen gedaan. Onder de Romeinen werd de cultus van de Grieken in de beginperiode grotendeels voortgezet, maar in latere periode raakten de tempels in Deir el Bahari langzaam in onbruik als centra van de heidense religies en kwam het christendom ervoor in de plaats. In de christelijke periode werd de tempel van Hatsjepsoet gebruikt als het klooster van Phoibammon, gesticht door bisschop Abraham van Hermonthis. Hoewel Deir el Bahari altijd een religieuze functie had, veranderde de manier waarop religie werd beoefend voortdurend en dus ook het gebruik van de ruimtes van de tempels. De veranderingen door de tijd heen zijn hierin goed te volgen.Show less

Dit wordt de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling genoemd. In deze bachelorscriptie wordt het doorbreken en in stand houden van de transmissie van kindermishandeling besproken. Bij een empirische studie werd een groep van 60 moeders willekeurig geselecteerd om het verband tussen meegemaakte en huidige mishandeling te toetsen. Meegemaakte kindermishandeling werd gemeten door middel van de ‘Jeugd Trauma Vragenlijst’ (JTV) en huidige kindermishandeling met de ‘Conflict Tactics Scale’. Meegemaakte emotionele verwaarlozing was gerelateerd aan huidige psychische agressie. Er werd geen significant verband gevonden tussen meegemaakte mishandeling en huidige mishandeling. Er werden verder ook geen significante verbanden gevonden tussen de overige subtypen van meegemaakte en huidige mishandeling. Door literatuuronderzoek werd vanuit de gehechtheidstheorie en de sociale leertheorie bekeken hoe de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling in stand gehouden wordt en hoe de transmissie doorbroken kan worden. Uit de resultaten bleek dat de kans op transmissie van kindermishandeling minder groot is bij moeders die een coherente gehechtheidsrepresentatie en een beter zelfbeeld hebben, dit is in overeenstemming met de gehechtheidstheorie. Een slechte kwaliteit van de gehechtheidsrelatie zorgt voor een groter risico op de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling. Een ondersteunende opvoeder in de kindertijd, therapie en een ondersteunende partnerrelatie in de volwassenheid zijn beschermende factoren die kunnen bijdragen aan het doorbreken van de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling. In consistentie met de sociale leertheorie is gebleken dat agressief gedrag richting het kind door de ouder een risicofactor kan zijn voor agressief gedrag door het kind zelf in de volwassenheid. Lichamelijke straffen door de ouder zijn van invloed op agressief gedrag bij het kind. Delinquenten schijnen het negatieve gedrag uit hun kindertijd tevens te imiteren. Het onderzoek dat tot nu toe gedaan is naar kindermishandeling is veelal retrospectief. Er zou meer prospectief onderzoek gedaan moeten worden naar de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling, waarbij gekeken wordt in hoeverre preventie en interventies kunnen bijdragen aan de doorbraak van de intergenerationele overdracht van kindermishandeling.Show less

A deficit in executive functions is a possible explanation of the behavior shown in ASD. Mothers of children with ASD experience stress in the daily intercourse with their child. The deficit in executive functions might be a predictor for this maternal stress, because the effort-reward proportion is out of balance. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relation between executive functions of children and maternal stress and which of the executive functions contributes the most to maternal stress. This study included 29 mothers with their child (Mage= 4,47, SDage= 1.10). The participants were recruited at schools, libary’s, social assistance organisations and throughsocial networks. The NOSI was used to mearsure maternal stress, the SRS was used to measure signs of autism, the BRIEF-p was used to measure executive functions of the child. Significant correlations were found between all EF and maternal stress: inhibition r=.75 (p<.01), cognitive flexibility r=.72 (p<.01), working memory r=.73 (p<.01), planning and organizing r=.78, (p<.01). The correlations between signs of autism and maternal stress was r=.86 (p<.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that Autism symptoms, β=.62, t(23)=4.59, p<.01, and planning and organization, β=.34, t(23)=2.49, p=.02, contributed to maternal stress and explained 80% of the stress. Signs of autism contributed the most. Results and suggestions for future research are discussed.Show less

The corpus that will be used in this research is the television series Sherlock. The reason of this choice of corpus is that I believe that the distinctive vocabulary and attitude of the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, will provide interesting translation issues. This thesis will explore how the subtitles deal with these issues and whether translation universals are present in the solutions. In chapter one, the concept of ‘translation universals’ will be explained and a variety of different categories will be put forward. Chapter two will examine the Dutch subtitling process to understand the possibilities and constrictions of this form of audiovisual translation. Finally, chapter three will combine the theory presented in chapter two and three by analyzing instances of translation universals found in the subtitles of Sherlock.Show less

This thesis links their ideas and provides an overview of the central themes in their thinking. It will turn out that digital technology was met with great enthusiasm in the twentieth century but has turned out to be increasingly downgrading our social interactions over time.Show less

It contains a lexicon of translated terminology from Dutch to English. The main research question is which translation procedure can be used best for the translation of such terminology. It also discusses why I have chosen a thematic approach for the lexicon, what kind of terminology the lexicon deals with, the possible translation procedures, and how different text types are important for translation.Show less

Although constructivism, like realism, takes the state as the centre of its research, constructivism offers different insights in world politics. By analysing Russia’s policies through both theories, this research tries to offer new ways of understanding Russia under Putin and how Russia positions itself in world politics. This paper will focus on Russia’s policies under Putin, because Putin made several policy changes in Russia on both a domestic and international level.These policy changes raised questions about how to understand Russian politics and position in the world. Whereas these policy changes are often explained through a realist lens, constructivism can offer new insights. Furthermore, this paper will focus on Russia’s policies towards the Middle East, because the Middle East can be seen as a cockpit of confrontation in international politics between states. Events in the Middle East are often viewed from a realist perspective, which makes it interesting to shine a different light on the events in the Middle East. Consequently, the research question of this paper will be; “What does Russia’s position in the Middle East under Putin reveal about how Russia positions itself in the world.”Show less

The participants in these actions have brought publicity to practices of hacktivism, an integration of activism and ICTs (mobile phones, Internet, computers, and dedicated applications) which aims to expand political, social and economic freedom. The aim of this paper is to identify which aspects of hacktivism are problematic in regulatory terms, hindering the fulfilment of its positive effects. This study conducts a preliminary, descriptive and analytical account of these problems focusing, first, on hacktivism internally (its conceptualisation, typology and consequences), to proceed to the problems linked to its context (global Internet governance, EU multilateralism and self-regulated regulation). Lastly, these challenges are briefly categorised and attention is paid to how new directions in decision-making methods may be incorporated into EU Impact Assessment in order to systematically identify new problems that may arise in the future.Show less

Further in the whole sample, whether parenting practices are associated with child empathy and child aggression, and if child empathy can explain the relationship between parenting practices and child aggression. The sample consisted of 132 boys between 7 and 13 years old (M = 10.25, SD = 1.32), of which 68 had and 64 did not have DBD. Child empathy was measured via a self-report questionnaire. Parenting practices and child aggression were measured through a parent survey. Comparative analyses showed that boys with DBD have lower empathy levels and that their parents use more harsh and neglectful parenting practices compared to the control group. Multiple regression analyses showed that more inconsistent, negative discipline and less involvement is predictive of more child aggression. Also, more inconsistent discipline is predictive of less child empathy. However, the association between parent practices and child empathy is negligable in comparison to the association between parent practices and child agression. It was concluded that empathy levels of boys are not influenced by parental practices, but is probably due to other environmental factors and in interaction with certain child characteristics.Show less
