From a wider disciplinary perspective, modern conflict archaeology is now a thoroughly established and mature sub-discipline. However, a significant problem conflict archaeologists in the Netherlands face is that modern eras, including both World Wars, have so far not received serious attention. Although both World Wars appeal strongly to the popular imagination, until recently Dutch researchers had not approached modern conflict from an academic archaeological perspective to any great extent. This is partly the result of problematic legislation on archaeological activity in the Netherlands. When applied and interpreted appropriately, archaeology can play an important role in the preservation, contemporary experience and historical reconstruction of recent conflicts. However, as this book argues, research methods other than excavations will be needed in order to conduct conflict archaeology in the Netherlands effectively. This study aims to develop a Dutch approach to conflict archaeology, integrating archaeology, heritage research and history at a landscape scale.

Afrikaans metaphors for Dutch and the NetherlandsThere seems to be an irrepressible urge to metaphorize the relation between the Netherlands and South Africa in the Afrikaans popular imagination, perhaps in order to bridge the growing separation between the two countries. Four complexes of such metaphors, window, family relations, root and landscape, are briefly analysed, with most emphasis on the last category. From a handful of Afrikaans poems since 1950, and especially from poems by Elizabeth Eybers, Lina Spies and Marlene van Niekerk, it seems possible to reconstruct a descriptive system that underlies poems contrasting the Netherlands (represented by Amsterdam in particular) as a safe, protected space with the South African landscape as open and exposed. These poems also clearly show up the dialectic of abrogation and appropriation and the anxiety about land and identity so typical of postcolonial literatures.

Preaching the gospel by Western mission organizations has given rise to a unique encounter between missionaries and indigenous peoples where they preach the gospel. The problem that arises then is the lack of research into what this encounter is and what it means for church life today. The author examines the encounter of evangelists from de Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken (CGK) in the Netherlands with the Toraja Mamasa community, especially the To Salu tribe with qualitative research methods by relying on library research and mission history archives in Mamasa. Also conducted interviews with traditional and church leaders in Mamasa. The author found that the encounter between the two evangelists with the To Salu tribe had resulted in a missionary attitude and insight and certain theological characteristics which were then inherent in the history of the Toraja Mamasa Church (GTM) which was the fruit of the CGK evangelism. The author's thesis statement: "The attitude and insight and style of the theology of Bikker and Gelijnse, namely the pattern of Dutch Calvinist theology, then colored the theological features of the Mamasa Toraja Church in the course of its ministry in the context of Toraja Mamasa to the present.”Pemberitaan Injil oleh organisasi misi Barat telah melahirkan pertemuan unik antara misionaris dan masyarakat adat di mana mereka memberitakan Injil. Masalah yang muncul kemudian adalah kurangnya penelitian pada apa yang ditimbulkan oleh perjumpaan tersebut dan maknanya bagi kehidupan gereja saat ini. Penulis meneliti pertemuan penginjil dari de Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken (CGK) di Belanda dengan komunitas Toraja Mamasa, terutama suku To Salu dengan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan mengandalkan penelitian pustaka dan arsip sejarah misi di Mamasa. Juga melakukan wawancara terhadapa tokoh-tokoh adat dan gereja di Mamasa. Penulis menemukan bahwa pertemuan antara dua penginjil dengan suku To Salu telah menghasilkan sikap misi dan wawasan serta ciri-ciri teologis tertentu yang kemudian melekat dalam sejarah Gereja Toraja Mamasa (GTM) yang merupakan buah penginjilan CGK. Pernyataan akhir penulis: "Sikap dan wawasan serta gaya teologi Bikker dan Gelijnse, yaitu pola teologi Calvinis Belanda, kemudian mewarnai ciri-ciri teologis Gereja Mamasa Toraja dalam perjalanan pelayanannya dalam konteks masyarakat Toraja Mamasa."

Thirty years of qualitative research into health and healthcare: an insider’s perspective This paper offers a personal reflection of two researchers on the development of qualitative research in health and healthcare in the past thirty years in the Netherlands. We explore the rise in international publications, as well as the themes that researchers address and the methodologies they use. We conclude that in recent decades the importance and number of qualitative studies in the field of health and care has increased substantially in the Netherlands. However, at the same time it seems that the debate about qualitative research has stopped. Reflections on their use are needed to maintain and develop the quality of the methods, particularly in a period in which qualitative research methods are accepted and widespread.

Since the description of SAD the prevalence of this disorder has been of particular interest. The more so, because early studies, indicated the correctness of the on theoretical grounds - expected interaction between latitude and prevalence rate of SAD. More eleborate prevalence studies, mainly in the USA indeed showed a positive correlation between prevalence rate and latitude. In Europe, only few studies have appeared. Although the results of most of these studies are preliminary and research-methods and criteria vary across studies, tentative conclusions are that the prevalence rates in Europe are considerably lower than in the USA, but that there is a similar trend in the direction of an increase of prevalence at higher latitudes.8"10 In the present study, the prevalence of SAD in the Netherlands is investigated.

With the beginning of the mass vaccination against the coronavirus COVID-19, the problem of the potentially of the danger of the aggressive autoimmune nature of immunity in women during the vaccination of sportswomen against the coronavirus COVID -19 arose. Objective of the study: to determine ways to solve the problem potentially of the danger of an aggressive autoimmune nature of immunity in women when vaccinating sportswomen against the COVID -19 coronavirus. Research methods: methods of theoretical analysis of scientific literature are used: generalizations, synthesis, abstractions, formalizations. Research results and conclusions: ways were identified to solve the problem potentially of the danger of an aggressive autoimmune nature of immunity in women when vaccinating sportswomen against the COVID-19 coronavirus. The potential danger of aggressive autoimmune immunity in women can be a significant problem for vaccination of athletes against coronavirus COVID -19, especially if there is significant physical activity in their sports activities with manifestations of physical allergies. When determining the possibility of vaccination of female athletes against coronavirus COVID -19, it is recommended to conduct a special medical and allergological examination and survey of female athletes using special questionnaires and, if there are indications, send female athletes for consultation to an allergist. It was concluded that when vaccinating against the COVID-19 coronavirus, priority should be given to athletes to prevent them from developing allergic complications. If indicated, sportswomen must undergo a special allergic diagnosis.

This chapter investigates British influences and imports in southern Scandinavia from the late eleventh to the early sixteenth centuries from a mainly archaeological perspective, set against contemporary political and commercial developments. The geographical extent of this area is roughly defined as the medieval Danish kingdom, but the text also touches on Norway’s much closer British connections. Danish links with England continued in various forms after the Viking Age, but decreasingly so; contacts with Germany and The Netherlands, in particular, became much more important, illustrated by the main Danish port to the west, Ribe. Two British-Danish royal marriages in the fifteenth century demonstrate British interest in the increasingly important Baltic trade, then controlled by Denmark from the castle at Elsinore. From that century onwards many Scots settled in East Danish towns—the first evidence of extensive relations between Scotland and Denmark.
