Twa Fryske gedichten fan Albert ten Broecke Hoekstra
No full textIn this article I publish two Frisian poems by the Frisian scholar Albert tenBroecke Hoekstra (1765-1828), of which the former has been publishedbefore but with errors, while the latter is published for the first time. Bothpoems, from 1815 and 1817, are welcome additions to the trickle ofFrisian literature of the period. They also afford us a glance at the poeticskills of the author and the reason for which he wrote them
The Baby and the Bath Water
No full textIn de wandelgangen van de faculteit komt de toekomstige internationalisering regelmatig voorbij. Om in een later stadium daadwerkelijk beslissingen te kunnen maken over de verengelsing van de bachelor, is discussie nodig. Eerder publiceerde Bnieuws een gesprek tussen Directeur Onderwijs Roberto Cavallo en toenmalig voorzitter van de Facultaire Studentenraad Bob Witjes. Deze maand zijn MaartenJan Hoekstra (docent en onderzoeker Stedenbouw kundig ontwerpen en lid Opleidingscommissie Bouwkunde) en Remon Rooij (universitair hoofddocent Ruimtelijke planning & strategie en opleidingscoördinator bachelor Bouwkunde) aan het woord over waarom de Nederlandse taal van cruciaal belang is voor de academische vorming van de bachelorstudent.UrbanismArchitecture and The Built Environmen

Young People’s Housing Opportunity in Post-reform China
No full textThe inquiry that has culminated in this thesis was inspired by the challenges that many young Chinese people were facing when trying to gain access to affordable housing at the time of study, the early 2010s. By then, more than thirty years of housing reforms had completely changed how housing was being provided in China. The resulting structure had led young people to access housing in ways that were very different from those of their parents’ generation (Deng, Hoekstra & Elsinga, 2017). These observations prompted the following research question: What are the key factors defining young people’s opportunity to access housing, and how do these factors relate to China’s institutional changes during and after the market reform? The ensuing research has demonstrated that parental resources and intergenerational reciprocity are indispensable to the housing opportunity of young people, as home ownership has come to mediate the exchange of resources between...A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment No 22 (2018)OLD Housing System
Sluftervorming en natuurontwikkeling
No full textIn een slufter treft men op een klein oppervlak een unieke combinatie van verschillende ecotooptypen aan. Per ecotooptype zijn verder verschillende successiestadia aanwezig. Op morfologische, ecologische of landschapsecologische kaarten van de Nederlandse kuststrook komt in de legenda het begrip slufter niet voor. Toch is een slufter een eenheid die beschreven zou moeten worden met behulp van deze disciplines. Dit rapport beoogt slufters vooral vanuit (landschaps ecologische invalshoek te bestuderen. Voor de morfologische benadering van slufters verwijzen we naar een gelijktijdig te verschijnen rapport van het Waterloopkundig Laboratorium (Eijsink, Hoekstra en Hoozemans, 1992) geschreven in opdracht van het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat, Rijkswaterstaat, Dienst Weg- en Waterbouwkunde. Bij een slufter is sprake van een duinvallei die in verbinding staat met de zee door een opening in de zeereep, de voorste duinenrij (Beijersbergen en Beekman, 1989; Arens en Van der Meulen, 1990; Van Bohemen, 1991). Een slufter-ecosysteem kenmerkt zich onder andere door zijn grote dynamiek vergeleken met een duin-ecosysteem. De ecologische processen staan onder hevige invloed van de zich steeds veranderende omgeving. Aan de andere kant biedt een slufter beschutting vergeleken met een open strandvlakte. Door deze beschutte ligging biedt de slufter ruimte voor de ontwikkeling van vegetatie. Door het grote aantal gradiënten in een slufter wordt bovendien de ruimte geboden aan een (relatief) grote diversiteit aan plante- en diersoorten en vegetatietypen

The Effect of Own-Gender Juries on Conviction Rates
No full textPublicFinanceThe right to an impartial jury is the cornerstone of the U.S. justice system and is enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but are these juries truly impartial, or do they favor defendants who are similar to themselves? In PERC working paper 1803, PERC��������s Rex Grey Professor Mark Hoekstra and co-author Brittany Street study whether gender matches between jurors and defendants affect criminal conviction rates using administrative data on the juror selection process and trial proceedings for two large counties in Florida. Findings show that own-gender juries result in significantly lower conviction rates on drug charges, though no evidence of effects were found for other charges. Estimates indicate that a one standard deviation increase in expected own-gender jurors (and estimated 10 percentage points) results in a 19 percentage point reduction in conviction rates on drug charges and a 13 percentage point decline in the likelihood of being sentenced to at least some jail time
