"What drives ability peer effects?" Replication Datasets
No full textData repository for replication datasets of "What drives ability peer effects?", Max Coveney and Matthijs Oosterveen, European Economic Review.The archived datasets contain all variables that were available to the researchers and allows for complete replication. Separate datasets are used for the different types of analyses (student level, student-course level, student-pair level). The student and group IDs are anonymized to prevent identification of individuals. Access to the data can be granted by submitting a research request to the corresponding author ([email protected]).The full paper can be found at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euroecorev.2021.103763</div

Jeremiah 28:8–9 and the Oracles against the Nations
No full textThis article focuses on Jer 28:8–9, a text commonly considered as proof for the existence of “prophecies against the nations” as a distinct kind of prophecy in the late monarchic era. The author, however, argues that Jer 28 does not testify to a subgenre of prophecy, but rather to the appearance of foreign nations in prophetic oracles in general, in which they figure as “the enemy” who will be trampled down. According to this understanding, it is not Jeremiah, but Hananiah who prophesies “war” – for Babylonia. And it is Jeremiah who prophesies “peace” – again for Babylonia. In 28:1–14*, which belongs to the earliest narrative traditions relating to Jeremiah, the prophet Jeremiah is depicted as announcing Babylonia’s good fortune, thereby implying that Judah’s survival depends on submission. During a much later, redactional stage, Babylonia’s ruination became part of the preaching ascribed to Jeremiah. It is in this redactional sphere that we can situate the Oracles concerning the Nations. Accordingly, they constitute a literary development, not a subclass of oral prophecy
Unravelling the stellar Initial Mass Function of early-type galaxies with hierarchical Bayesian modelling
No full textWanneer nieuwe sterren gevormd worden, dan gebeurt dit volgens een bepaalde massaverdeling. Deze massaverdeling wordt de initiële massafunctie (IMF) genoemd. In algemene zin kan gesteld worden dat er veel meer lichte dan zware sterren worden gevormd. De laatste jaren is er steeds meer bewijs gekomen dat in de zwaarste sterrenstelsels van het heelal de verhouding tussen lage-massa sterren en hoge-massa sterren anders is dan in onze eigen Melkweg. Deze mogelijke variatie van de massaverdeling kan ons meer vertellen over het proces van stervorming en heeft consequenties voor andere onderzoeken binnen de sterrenkunde waarbij een zogenaamde ‘universele IMF’ wordt aangenomen. Het nauwkeurig bepalen van de stellaire massaverdeling en eventuele variaties hiervan is dan ook van groot belang voor de sterrenkunde. In veraf gelegen sterrenstelsels kunnen we geen individuele sterren waarnemen. De stellaire massaverdeling van deze stelsels is hierdoor alleen indirect af te leiden. In dit proefschrift hebben we een nauwkeurig statistisch model ontwikkeld om de stellaire massaverdeling van onopgeloste sterrenstelsels te bepalen met behulp van spectroscopie. De resultaten van dit proefschrift bevestigen dat de zwaarste sterrenstelsels in het heelal een andere massaverdeling hebben dan de Melkweg. Onze resultaten laten zien dat de (relatieve) hoeveelheid hoge-massa sterren ongeveer constant is als functie van de massa van het sterrenstelsel. De (relatieve) hoeveelheid lage-massa sterren verander echter als functie van de massa van het sterrenstelsel, zodanig dat zwaardere sterrenstelsels meer lage-massa sterren bevatten
