Nieuwenhuis, Jaap (author), Kleinepier, Tom (author), Janssen, H.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)We studied the relation between cumulative exposure to neighbourhood deprivation and adolescents’ Big Five personality traits, and the moderating role of personality in the relation between neighbourhood deprivation and the development of problem behaviour and educational attainment. We studied 5365 British adolescents from ages 10 to 16,...journal article 2021

Bezzo, Franco Bonomi (author), Silva, Laura (author), van Ham, M. (author)Objectives The Covid-19 pandemic is hitting societies hard, and people living in disadvantaged circumstances are among the most affected. We investigate the combined effects of the Covid-19 crisis and living in a deprived neighbourhood on two dimensions of subjective well-being: hedonic (i.e. mental health) and evaluative (i.e. life...journal article 2021

Petrović, A. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Contextual poverty refers to high proportions of people with a low income in a certain (residential) space, and it can affect individual socioeconomic outcomes as well as decisions to move into or out of the neighbourhood. Contextual poverty is a multiscale phenomenon: Poverty levels at the regional scale reflect regional economic development,...journal article 2021

Troost, A.A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Janssen, H.J. (author)The non-random selection of people into neighbourhoods complicates the estimation of causal neighbourhood effects on individual outcomes. Measured neighbourhood effects could be the result of characteristics of the neighbourhood context, but they could also result from people selecting into neighbourhoods based on their preferences, income,...journal article 2021

Hedman, Lina (author), van Ham, M. (author)The literature on intergenerational contextual mobility has shown that neighbourhood status is partly ‘inherited’ from parents by children. Children who spend their childhood in deprived neighbourhoods are more likely to live in such neighbourhoods as adults. It has been suggested that such transmission of neighbourhood status is also relevant...journal article 2021

Tammaru, T. (author), Knapp, David (author), Silm, Siiri (author), van Ham, M. (author), Witlox, Frank (author)A paradigm shift is taking place in spatial segregation research. At the heart of this shift is the understanding of the connectedness of spatial segregation in different life domains and the availability of new datasets that allow for more detailed studies on these connections. In this thematic issue on spatial underpinnings of social...contribution to periodical 2021

Kauppinen, Timo M. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Bernelius, Venla (author)Households with children have been suggested to play a key role in ethnic residential segregation. One possible mechanism is that school district boundaries affect their segregation patterns, but direct evidence on this is scarce. This study investigates the role of school catchment areas for ethnic residential segregation among different...journal article 2021

Nieuwenhuis, Jaap (author), Kleinepier, Tom (author), van Ham, M. (author)Because the demographic composition of neighborhoods and schools overlaps, their effects on educational attainment are not independent of each other. Throughout the early teenage years, the timing and duration of exposure to neighborhood and school contexts can vary, advocating for a longitudinal approach when studying schooling outcomes....journal article 2021

Koekkoek, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)University–community engagement has been implemented by anincreasing number of universities across the world, in a period characterized by growing international competition. The growth of interest in university–community engagement has led to multiple definitions of this term and a high level of complexity in defining what it entails. Using a...journal article 2021

van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Ubareviciene, Ruta (author), Janssen, H.J. (author)The book “Urban Socio-Economic Segregation and Income Inequality: a Global Perspective” investigates the link between income inequality and residential segregation between socio-economic groups in 24 large cities and their urban regions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Author teams with in-depth local...book chapter 2021

(author), Marcińczak, Szymon (author), Musterd, Sako (author)Based on extensive research with distinguished scholars within the book project ‘Socioeconomic Segregation in European Capital Cities’, this chapter summarizes the key trends in income inequality and socioeconomic segregation in Europe. We draw our data from the two last census rounds, and we focus on the most common indicators of income...book chapter 2021

van Ham, M. (author)Since the 1980s, the workforce in New York, London and Tokyo has been professionalizing with an increasing share of high income earners. While measures of segregation have stabilized, spatial inequality has increased due to gentrification of inner-city neighborhoods and suburbanization of poverty.report 2020

Elwageeh, Aya (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)Active citizenship related to neighborhood governance is dependent on the political and governance structures of its context, and is therefore different in the Global North and the Global South. Local active citizenship is often presented from a North-western perspective, with its own active culture of engagement. In contrast, it is often shaped...journal article 2020

(author)Motivation: Protein function prediction is a difficult bioinformatics problem. Many recent methods use deep neural networks to learn complex sequence representations and predict function from these. Deep supervised models require a lot of labeled training data which are not available for this task. However, a very large amount of protein...journal article 2020

Makrodimitris, S. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), van Ham, R.C.H.J. (author)Physical interaction between two proteins is strong evidence that the proteins are involved in the same biological process, making Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks a valuable data resource for predicting the cellular functions of proteins. However, PPI networks are largely incomplete for non-model species. Here, we tested to what...journal article 2020

Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K. (author), Manley, D.J.

In this paper we study the extent to which people move...journal article 2020

Modai-Snir, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Neighbourhood socioeconomic change is often related to structural processes that transform urban income compositions. In the Netherlands, restructuring of the welfare state and the housing market are examples. The paper examines the role of structural processes in neighbourhood income change in four Dutch cities (1999–2014) by decomposing total...journal article 2020

Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K.

Previous research has identified that the neighborhood in which someone grows up is highly predictive of the type of neighborhood he or she will live in as an independent adult. What remains...journal article 2020

Peris, A.F.T. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)News travels fast and far, and the general idea is that the spatial extent of news coverage has increased over time. Information flows are always involved in systems of interdependent cities. This is the reason why George Zipf and Allan Pred, both pioneers of the urban systems literature, were eager to obtain data on these relations to...journal article 2020
