Te leven op duizend plaatsen. Jo Otten 1901-1940
No full text In the period between the world wars the Rotterdam author Jo Otten revealed a view of the world in his writings that can be called fairly unique in Dutch literature. The first fruits of Otten's pen were born during his education, when he studied Trade Economics. These are texts steeped in a melancholic atmosphere and betray the thinking of the French poet Charles Baudelaire. Over the years Otten became convinced that everything in life was dependant on a position of satisfaction. In his critical work he reacted to stagnation by pleading for a 'mobile' way of life, where everything was constantly on the move. It describes the hyper-awareness of the modernist: a person subject to doubt, who resists stagnation and reflects this in his work. Otten introduced his critical view of the world in the essay Mobiliteit en revolutie (Mobility and Revolution) (1932). In this essay he applauded the 'mobile person', an autonomous, chameleon-like figure who tries to escape social stagnation in various ways, some of them even surrealistic. Otten put into words the fundamental unrest that is the consequence of such a way of life in his kaleidoscopic novella Bed en wereld (Bed and World) (1932).LEI Universiteit LeidenModern and Contemporary Studie
Episodic encoding is more than the sum of its parts: An fMRI investigation of multifeatural contextual encoding
No full textEpisodic memories are characterized by their contextual richness, yet little is known about how the various features comprising an episode are brought together in memory. Here we employed fMRI and a multidimensional source memory procedure to investigate processes supporting the mnemonic binding of item and contextual information. Volunteers were scanned while encoding items for which the contextual features (color and location) varied independently, allowing activity elicited at the time of study to be segregated according to whether both, one, or neither feature was successfully retrieved on a later memory test. Activity uniquely associated with successful encoding of both features was identified in the intra-parietal sulcus, a region strongly implicated in the support of attentionally mediated perceptual binding. The findings suggest that the encoding of disparate features of an episode into a common memory representation requires that the features be conjoined in a common perceptual representation when the episode is initially experienced

Promoting social engagement and well-being in diverse groups: The role of respect
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Psychology Press via the link in this recordWe present theory and research that examine how individuals’ perceptions of the quality
of their social relationships in self-relevant groups affect the functioning of ethnically diverse
institutions (e.g., workplace, schools). Research on intragroup processes suggests that individuals
are motivated to seek information about their value to the groups they identify with (personal
respect). In diverse institutions, the extent to which key social identities, such as one’s ethnic
group, is valued by other group members matters as well (subgroup respect). Moreover, for
minority group members, the ethnic ingroup, itself, is a source of important evaluative feedback
(ethnic intragroup respect). We review evidence that demonstrates how and when each of these
three aspects of social evaluation (personal respect, subgroup respect, and ethnic intragroup
respect) shape outcomes central to group functioning, including individuals’ level of engagement
in the group and their subjective well-being. We discuss how insights from this research can
inform the challenges faced by work organizations and other diverse institutions

Power-aware architecting for data-dominated applications
No full textChip designers face increasingly complex designs and multiple competing design objectives and constraints. Early in the design cycle, a designer has to make choices relying on insufficient or inaccurate information. For instance, the designer has to decide which parts to implement in software and which in hardware. The complexity of the designs render it impossible for a human to make a sound decision. The number of options and the pace with which they change is simply overwhelming. This thesis describes a high-level design method to solve this problem. The design method and the newly developed tools have been used successfully in the design of an OFDM transceiver. The results can be used to explore the design space of the transceiver. Based on this exploration, a qualitative comparison of the alternative implementations is possible. This gives the designer sufficient information to make well-founded decisions.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
