Leven als zoekpartij. Intergenerationele zingeving en spiritualiteit
Meer dan vroeger zijn mensen vrij om betekenis te geven aan hun leven, om zelf waarden te kiezen die voor hen belangrijk zijn. Welke gevolgen heeft dat voor het gesprek over zingeving en spiritualiteit met de volgende generatie? Eén van de mogelijke methoden om een getuigenis te delen is die van de ‘spirituele autobiografie’.
In dit boek krijgt deze methode een intergenerationele toepassing aan de hand van een briefwisseling tussen de redacteur en zijn dochters, aangevuld met een begeleidend gesprek. Daarna laten diverse collega’s uit het professionele en wetenschappelijke veld hun – persoonlijk – licht erop schijnen.
Life as a quest. Intergenerational meaning and spirituality
People are now more liberated to give meaning to their life and to select values they deem important. What effect does this have on conversations about meaning and spirituality with the upcoming generation? One way of sharing a testimony is the 'spiritual autobiography'.
In this book, the method is applied in an intergenerational context through a series of letters between the editor and his daughters, along with an accompanying discussion. Additionally, many professionals and scientists provide their – personal – perspectives.

This book aims to combine knowledge and insight for an audience with sufficient prior knowledge of the broad field in which genetics and reproduction are intertwined. To this end, the “knowledge landscape” has been organized in 19 chapters and 4 text boxes. The power of language has been used as an aid in the search for insight, so that a structure has been created for people who deal with this matter professionally (including education). Also, for the educated layman it has a lot to offer, thanks to the excellent illustrations and an up to date glossary of scientific terms.

As a result of society’s increasing digitisation, the police have ever more opportunities to collect, investigate and combine huge amounts of personal data using advanced technology. However, the current legal framework is, as yet, ill-equipped to deal with this new reality. Commissioned by the WODC, this study examines the legal safeguards in criminal justice data collection in relation to the legal safeguards governing the processing of these data. To this end, the requirements and safeguards imposed by European law on the processing of data for law enforcement purposes are inventoried here. Inspiration is drawn from experience with the Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Act 2017 and Belgian, German and Norwegian law. This study provides tools that legislators can use to reconsider the methods of standardisation and legal regulation design to better protect citizens' privacy.
