This article critically reflects on the ways in which the global project of transitional justice is channelled or streamlined in its scope of application. Using the categories of when, to whom and for what transitional justice applies, it argues that transitional justice is typically constructed to focus on specific sets of actors for specific sets of crimes. This results in a fairly narrow int...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether transitional incidents can be identified from the medical records of the general practitioners and the hospital and to assess the concordance of transitional incidents between medical records and patient interviews. DESIGN A pilot study. SETTING The study was conducted in 2 regions in the Netherlands: a rural and an urban region. PARTICIPANTS A purposeful ...

Many urban studies have been done to demonstrate that urban sprawl is not the right approach in hot climate cities. On the contrary, a compact design is recommended to enhance human thermal comfort. This research aims to clarify the relation between urban morphology and outdoor thermal comfort of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The aim is to develop an outstanding future strategic compact morphology that...

With the Keck Interferometer, we have studied at 2 um the innermost regions of several nearby, young, dust depleted ”transitional” disks. Our observations target five of the six clearest cases of transitional disks in the Taurus/Auriga star-forming region (DM Tau, GM Aur, LkCa 15, UX Tau A, and RY Tau) to explore the possibility that the depletion of optically thick dust from the inner disks is...

Non-parametric maximum likelihood estimators of relative risk have been proposed as an alternative to empirical Bayes or full Bayes approaches to disease mapping. They have the advantage of being relatively simple, the EM algorithm assures convergence and area classi5cation is straightforward. However, they do not take into account spatial autocorrelation and have higher mean square error when ...

My research plan for the next few years and for the next decade is to extend my current research to answers the broad questions: (1) How do disks evolve and form planetary systems? (2) What is the origin of life? We have been taking advantage of the Spitzer Space Telescope to reveal various stages of star formation and evolution of protoplanetary disks. One of our major achievements with Spitze...
