This presentation explores various transformations that inform Deaf Studies research, ranging from transformations in deaf networks to larger sign language networks and transformations in applied linguistics, society, and language ideologies, and the related potential impact on sign language policy and revitalisation. After discussing some new research lenses in Deaf Studies, such as visual methods, the presentation suggests some ways forward for Deaf Studies in terms of research priorities and rights discourses.

The LIBBIO project is about researching the potential of Andes Lupin for breeding cropping and biorefinery. 14 partners from 8 different EU countries cooperate together. Hanze University of Applied Sciences is technical-scientific coordinator of this 5 mio€ project. Project duration is from 2016 to 2020

Every year the police are confronted with an ever increasing number of complex cases involving missing persons. About 100 people are reported missing every year in the Netherlands, of which, an unknown number become victims of crime, and presumed buried in clandestine graves. Similarly, according to NWVA, several dead animals are also often buried illegally in clandestine graves in farm lands, which may result in the spread of diseases that have significant consequences to other animals and humans in general. Forensic investigators from both the national police (NP) and NWVA are often confronted with a dilemma: speed versus carefulness and precision. However, the current forensic investigation process of identifying and localizing clandestine graves are often labor intensive, time consuming and employ classical techniques, such as walking sticks and dogs (Police), which are not effective. Therefore, there is an urgent request from the forensic investigators to develop a new method to detect and localize clandestine graves quickly, efficiently and effectively. In this project, together with practitioners, knowledge institutes, SMEs and Field labs, practical research will be carried out to devise a new forensic investigation process to identify clandestine graves using an autonomous Crime Scene Investigative (CSI) drone. The new work process will exploit the newly adopted EU-wide drone regulation that relaxes a number of previously imposed flight restrictions. Moreover, it will effectively optimize the available drone and perception technologies in order to achieve the desired functionality, performance and operational safety in detecting/localizing clandestine graves autonomously. The proposed method will be demonstrated and validated in practical operational environments. This project will also make a demonstrable contribution to the renewal of higher professional education. The police and NVWA will be equipped with operating procedures, legislative knowledge, skills and technological expertise needed to effectively and efficiently performed their forensic investigations.
This project has received funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 720726LIBBIO is a European research project on Andes Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis, tarwi) cropping in marginal lands for enhanced bio economy. Lupin has the ability to fix nitrogen, mobilise soil phosphate and has low nutritional requirements for cultivation. Varieties will be chosen that give high yield of green silage or high yield of seeds which contain more than 20% oil, more than 40% protein and the remaining materials are carbohydrates, mainly oligosaccharides characterized as “prebiotics”. Andes lupin will be grown as a summer crop in N-central Europe and as winter crop in Mediterranean conditions. Pre-industrial processing is developed and optimized for the lupin, properties of the different fractions analysed, their advantage for different industrial use evaluated, and a few products developed as an example. Social and environmental impact will be evaluated as well as techno-economic viability and effect on farm and biorefinery income.This project has received funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 720726
Schoon water is essentieel voor de productie van waterstof (H2) terwijl in deze productie ook veel restwarmte vrijkomt. Hier liggen grote kansen voor circulariteit. Het project 'Membraandestillatie voor en uit H2' onderzoekt de hoeveelheid en kwaliteit van water dat membraandestillatie (MD) kan produceren. Dit gebeurt met restwarmte van elektrolyse voor waterstofproductie en brandstofcellen voor elektriciteitsproductie uit waterstof, met verschillende waterbronnen. Het huidige energetisch conversierendement van elektrolyse en brandstofcellen is ongeveer 70%, terwijl de restenergie als warmte vrijkomt bij 60-70°C. MD kan juist op dit temperatuurniveau efficiënt grote hoeveelheden proceswater produceren, tot tien keer meer dan nodig voor de elektrolyse. Bij de verwachte 10 GW elektrolysecapaciteit die in Nederland nodig zal zijn, kan MD jaarlijks ten minste 100 miljoen m³ proceswater opleveren. Dit vertegenwoordigt meer dan 30% van het huidige industriële drinkwaterverbruik. In dit project wordt met een laboratorium-MD-cel aangetoond dat MD efficiënt proceswater kan produceren uit alternatieve waterbronnen zoals regenwater, secundair effluent van rioolwaterzuiveringsinstallaties en circulair water uit brandstofcellen. Het verwijderingsrendement van MD voor zouten en organische verontreinigingen wordt bepaald via chemische analyses. De kwaliteit van het geproduceerde water wordt vergeleken met de gewenste proceswaterkwaliteit en de vereiste waterkwaliteit voor elektrolyse. Waar nodig wordt verdere opwerking getest om aan deze eisen te voldoen. Vervolgens wordt berekend hoeveel proceswater per waterbron kan worden geproduceerd en met welk energetisch rendement, inclusief een kostenschatting.
