The article engages with the recent studies on multilevel regulation. The starting point for the argument is that contemporary multilevel regulation—as most other studies of (postnational) rulemaking—is limited in its analysis. The limitation concerns its monocentric approach that, in turn, deepens …

The recent advancements in machine learning (ML) techniques have significantly improved the performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, particularly in deep learning with the transformer architecture. Despite their promising applications in different domains, these innovations have …

Background: Given the demands posed by excessive practice quantities in modern dance, physical and mental health can be compromised. Therefore, there is a need to consider how quality of practice may be improved and possibly even reduce training times. Sports literature has shown that instructions and …

In this study, we assessed to what extent data on the subject of TPPR (transfer, persistence, prevalence, recovery) that are obtained through an older STR typing kit can be used in an activity-level evaluation for a case profiled with a more modern STR kit. Newer kits generally hold more loci and may …

Leerlingen die hun hele schoolcarrière goede cijfers hebben gehaald voor vreemde talen, zoals Frans, Duits of Spaans, blijken vaak niet goed in staat om in die talen te communiceren. Kennelijk is er iets anders getoetst dan communicatievaardigheid. Als de toetsing zich daar beter op richt, welke effecten …

This chapter will focus on the deep evolutionary history of the cognitive capacities underlying linguistic iconicity. The complex capacity for linguistic iconicity has roots in a more general cross-modal ability present throughout the animal kingdom, cross-modal transfer. Cross-modal transfer is the …
