First person - Harmen Koning
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Harmen Koning is first author on 'A deep-dive into fictive locomotion - a strategy to probe cellular activity during speed transitions in fictively swimming zebrafish larvae', published in BiO. Harmen is a PhD student in the lab of Henrik Boije at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University, Sweden, investigating the neuronal networks of locomotion in the zebrafish spinal cord to get a better understanding how hardwired circuits produce the flexible output needed for certain behaviours

Armoede en deprivatie bij Belgische kinderen: Een vergelijking van de risicofactoren in de drie gewesten en de buurlanden
No full textIn deze studie voor de Koning Boudewijnstichting gebruiken we de nieuwe indicator voor kind-specifieke deprivatie, die in maart 2018 op het Europese niveau werd aanvaard als gemeenschappelijke indicator voor het sociale beleid. We vergelijken en analyseren kind-specifieke deprivatie in België (als geheel en in elk gewest) en de Europese buurlanden van België, en ontwikkelen aanbevelingen voor het beleid

Bourdieu and aesthetics in creative writing
No full textThis article reports on a collaborative project inaugurated in a Creativity Workshop in the University of Canberra. It explores how the work of the French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu is useful to creative artists and writers. The empirical focus is a piece of historical fiction—The Dishonest Woman—set in c16 Antwerp. Bourdieu is used in three ways: to map the social context of the novel; the actual field represented; and the place of the author within the contemporary literary field. This work represents a further step towards founding a ‘reflexive aesthetics’ in the creative arts
Wading right in: discovering the nature of wetlands/ Catherine Owen Koning and Sharon M. Ashworth ; with illustrations by Catherine Owen Koning.
No full textIn English.Includes bibliographical references and index.Where can you find mosses that change landscapes, salamanders with algae in their skin, and carnivorous plants containing whole ecosystems in their furled leaves? Where can you find swamp-trompers, wildlife watchers, marsh managers, and mud-mad scientists? In wetlands, those complex habitats that play such vital ecological roles. In Wading Right In, Catherine Owen Koning and Sharon M. Ashworth take us on a journey into wetlands through stories from the people who wade in the muck. Traveling alongside scientists, explorers, and kids with waders and nets, the authors uncover the inextricably entwined relationships between the water flows, natural chemistry, soils, flora, and fauna of our floodplain forests, fens, bogs, marshes, and mires. Tales of mighty efforts to protect rare orchids, restore salt marshes, and preserve sedge meadows become portals through which we visit major wetland types and discover their secrets, while also learning critical ecological lessons. The United States still loses wetlands at a rate of 13,800 acres per year. Such loss diminishes the water quality of our rivers and lakes, depletes our capacity for flood control, reduces our ability to mitigate climate change, and further impoverishes our biodiversity. Koning and Ashworth's stories captivate the imagination and inspire the emotional and intellectual connections we need to commit to protecting these magical and mysterious places.Introduction: sun turtles and superstorms -- At the water's edge: from the aquatic zone to the emergent marsh -- Wet meadows: not too dry, not too wet -- Pond-meadow-forest, repeat: the beaver's tale -- Stuck in the muck: bogs and fens -- Wooded wetlands: basin castles and big-river swamps -- Vernal pools: believing in wetlands that aren't always there -- Salt marshes: a disappearing act -- Wetland restoration: changing techniques, changing goals, changing climate -- Beauty, ethics, and inspiration.1 online resource (ix, 266 pages)

Contracting welfare-to-work services: use and usefulness
No full textThis paper contributes to the broad literature on public services contracting in two ways: We provide an empirical analysis of contracting decisions in the provision of welfare-to-work (WTW) services, and we explicitly model two forms of external provision of WTW services by municipalities. We estimate both the WTW-contracting decisions of Dutch municipalities and their impact on the performance, measured as the fraction of Social Assistance recipients. The two forms of external provision are (1) Contracting with other municipalities and/or (2) Contracting-out services to private providers. Our findings suggest that contracting decisions are predominantly driven by cost considerations, both for the decision to contract with other municipalities and the share of contracting out to private providers. Municipalities with low WTW budgets or facing budget constraints are more likely to contract with external parties – presumably this reduces their costs and the risk of future budget deficits. We do not find contracting decisions to affect the performance of municipalities, measured as the use, inflow or outflow out of the SA scheme. From this alone, however, we cannot conclude that both the three provision modes are equally cost-effective too, as external provision may be less costly.
