Work life balance and taxation in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, the role of the woman in society has changed drastically in the past century. Furthermore, over the past 50 years, marriage between man and woman lost its dominant position to alternative forms of cohabitation. These developments in society and civil law are also reflect-ed in the Dutch Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) and the Dutch Gift and Inheritance Tax Act (GITA) and will be

Automatic exchange of information and cross border flows of personal data

International cooperation between national tax authorities through exchange of information is becoming even more important than it was before in combating tax evasion. In this chapter, the implementation of automatic exchange of information is discussed with a focus on cross border flows of personal data. First, we discuss the legal framework for the ex-change of information. Article 26 of the OEC

Graded error signals in eyeblink conditioning

Minimizing errors is an important aspect of learning. However, it is not enough merely to record if an error occurred. For efficient learning, information about the magnitude of errors is critical. Did my tennis swing completely miss the target or did I hit the ball, but not quite in the sweet spot? How can neurons – which have traditionally been thought of as binary units – signal the magnitude o

Dementia management in European primary care

Det beräknas att cirka 50 miljoner människor världen över har en demenssjukdom mot förväntade 152 miljoner år 2050 och enligt WHO är demenssjukdomar en prioriterad hälsopolitisk fråga. Primärvårdsläkares roll i upptäckt och behandling av tidig demens är troligen hälsoekonomiskt fördelaktig men primärvårdens handläggning av patienter med förmodad demens varierar stort. Syftet med denna avhandling vBackground: Around 50 million people worldwide have dementia and the prevalence is expected to increase to 152 million by 2050. According to the WHO, dementia is a priority health policy issue. The role of primary care physicians (PCPs) for timely dementia management can be cost-effective, yet PCP involvement in the management of patients with presumed or diagnosed dementia vary across Europe.Aim:

2D electronic spectroscopy of the B800-B820 LH3 light-harvesting complex

Two-dimensional optical spectroscopy is a potent tool for studying correlations among different vibrational and electronic transitions as well as other nonlinear properties of molecules and materials. This chapter utilizes recently developed phase-stabilized two-dimensional electronic Fourier-transform spectroscopy to probe electronic couplings among different chromophores and explore the distribu

Time and inequality - A study of individual preferences

This thesis consists of three papers that study individual preferences. The focus of the first two papers is on time preferences. In the third paper, preferences regarding how inequality in health and income should be defined are elicited.In the first paper, we study the long-term stability of survey-based subjective time preferences using a Dutch household survey panel. We find that while the ind

Picosecond z-scan measurements of the two-photon absorption in beta-carotene solution over the 590-790 nm wavelength range

The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of β-carotene (beta-carotene) in chloroform solution were investigated over the 590-790 nm wavelength range. The TPA was characterized using the open-aperture z-scan technique with picosecond pulses provided by a widely traveling-wave optical parametric amplifier (OPA) pumped with a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier. We found the 0.2-1 cm/GW values of two photo

The Impact of Local Taxes and Public Services on Property Values

Attempts to measure the capitalization of local taxes into property prices, starting with Oates (1969), have suffered from a lack of local public service controls. We revisit this vast literature with a novel dataset of 947 time-varying local characteristic and public service controls for all municipalities in Sweden over the 2010-2016 period. To make use of the high dimensional vector of controls

Digital clients : An example of people production in social work

Digital work has become part of social workers’ daily routines in countries where digitalisation is on the agenda. As a consequence, documentation practices are expanding—on paper as well as digitally—and include reporting detailed statistics about client interventions, filling in digital forms, and fulfilling local and national performance measurement goals. Standardised formulas with tick-box an
