Marokkaanse gastarbeiders brachten de islam mee naar Nederland en droegen die zo over, zo wordt veelal aangenomen. Deze ‘volkse' islam zou botsen met de meer ‘zuivere’ islam van hun kinderen. Met een generatiekloof als gevolg. Ibtissam Abaaziz ontdekte tijdens haar promotieonderzoek dat de werkelijkheid genuanceerder is. De gastarbeiders hebben de islam meegenomen uit hun herkomstland’ is een statement dat we dikwijls voorbij zien komen, niet alleen in maatschappelijke discussies over moslims, maar ook in wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Maar wat hebben gastarbeiders dan aan islam meegenomen naar Nederland? Wat is er vervolgens met hun religieuze bagage gebeurd? In haar promotieonderzoek "Ze waren onwetend" heeft zij door middel van levensverhalen onderzoek verricht naar de religieuze beleving van zowel de eerste als tweede generatie Marokkaanse Nederlanders.

All over the world entrepreneurs drive changes. They develop new products and services, inspire others and take decisions that result in growth of their businesses. But the world around entrepreneurs is changing and so are entrepreneurs. Life-long selfemployment or permanent wage employment are of the past. And the way people perceive self-employment is changing as well. And so must our thinking. Changes in our society call for policies and programmes in support of enterprising people. Diversity, mobility and connectivity offer new opportunities for enterprising people. Markets are changing, become more accessible and there is less need to be bound physically to one place for an entrepreneur. New avenues for business are open thanks to our improved access to information, our connectivity globally through social media and our ability to travel freely and frequently from one country to another. With less focus on life-long (self) employment people now combine paid work (or unpaid – house- work) with self-employment, or opt for just parttime entrepreneurship. New, hybrid forms of enterprising emerge. This combining of work with self-employment is rather common in developing countries, but in Europe it is a phenomenon not yet reported on in statistics and for which policy makers and service providers have no answers yet. Neither exist clear definitions or classifications. This book may serve as an eye-opener: hybrid entrepreneurs are indeed around us and deserve our attention. The research unit Financial Inclusion and New Entrepreneurship of The Hague University of Applied Science challenges policy makers, academics and service providers (such as educational institutes, business advisers and financial institutions) to pay more attention to hybrid entrepreneurs, those enterprising people who intend to create new values for a fair and sustainable society. They might not yet been seen, but they exist…..

Social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have millions of users logging in every day, using these platforms for commu nication, entertainment, and news consumption. These platforms adopt rules that determine how users communicate and thereby limit and shape public discourse.2 Platforms need to deal with large amounts of data generated every day. For example, as of October 2021, 4.55 billion social media users were ac tive on an average number of 6.7 platforms used each month per internet user.3 As a result, platforms were compelled to develop governance models and content moderation systems to deal with harmful and undesirable content, including disinformation. In this study: • ‘Content governance’ is defined as a set of processes, procedures, and systems that determine how a given platform plans, publishes, moder ates, and curates content. • ‘Content moderation’ is the organised practice of a social media plat form of pre-screening, removing, or labelling undesirable content to reduce the damage that inappropriate content can cause.

There are significant differences between the words used for ‘pictures captured on light sensitive surfaces with the use of a camera’ in Luganda and in English. Ekifananyi is the Luganda word that is used to signify a photograph, but it does not mean a photograph. The noun “ekifananyi” is derived from the verb kufanana, meaning to be similar to. Based on this observation, Dutch artist Andrea Stultiens started to investigate the implications of this particular conceptualisation of photographs, which led to a series of eight books titled, “Ebifananyi,” the plural of the singular ekifananyi. In presentations of historical photographs from Africa, Uganda was—until recently—only mentioned in relation to photographs produced by non-Ugandans or members of the Ugandan diaspora. The first three books in the Ebifananyi series change this status quo by presenting photographs produced by Deo Kyakulagira (1940-2000), Musa Katuramu (1916-1983) and Elly Rwakoma (ca.1938).The photographic legacy of these men is activated in collaborations with family members and, in the case of Rwakoma, the photographer himself. Curator Andrea Stultiens and Ugandan artist Canon Griffin responded to the historical photographs in pictures and films.

Introduction by Klaas Molenaar and Margot Lobbezoo about the diversity of entrepeneurs. Every day we meet entrepreneurs; when we visit the deli at the corner, order a taxi, have a cup of tea in the bar on the other side of the street or go to a hairdresser. They are everywhere and they have many faces. And there are many opinions about entrepreneurship.

Rob Brons, voorzitter van het College van Bestuur van De Haagse Hogeschool van 2010 tot 2014, heeft grote interesse voor de toekomst van leren en de rol van het hbo daarin. Vanuit die interesse initieerde hij in 2012 een onderzoek met als vraag: ‘Wat is de toekomst van leren en welke rol speelt de hogeschool daarin?’ dat werd uitgevoerd door Rianne Valkenburg, lector Designerly Innovation, met een multidisciplinaire groep studenten van De Haagse Hogeschool. Bij het afscheid van Rob Brons is vrijwel dezelfde vraag voorgelegd aan alle lectoren: ‘Welke veranderingen signaleer je in de samenleving op het terrein van je lectoraat en wat betekent dat voor het hbo?’ [

Filial piety is important to Chinese adults and is associated with mental health among older Chinese immigrants in the United States. However, it is unclear whether filial piety is linked to the mental health of Chinese immigrants in European countries. Therefore, this study aims to gain insights into the association between mental health and filial piety of first-generation Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands. A random sample of 143 participants took part in the study. A cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected through a postal survey conducted in the Chinese language between January 2021 and March 2021. The survey included a Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC), and expected and perceived filial piety scale. The results indicated that in general, perceived filial piety exceeded expected filial piety ('filial piety sufficient'). Regression analysis revealed that 'filial piety sufficient' is associated with a higher emotional MHC (B =.498, p =.035). This study provided new insights into the wellbeing of older Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands and showed accordance with the literature that filial piety remains an important factor for mental health.
