coast in what is now Northern England. The Wall, complemented by a sophisticated system of outposts and coastal watch stations, offers a remarkable glimpse of ancient society. In addition to housing one of the largest concentrations of Roman soldiers anywhere in the Empire’s provinces, Hadrian’s frontier system was home to an incredibly cosmopolitan array of civilians.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis six week course offers a comprehensive introduction to Hadrian’s Wall and its people and raises fascinating issues concerning colonisation, cultural transformation, immigration, integration and imperialism. We will explore life in the region before the construction of the Wall, the arrival of the Roman army and its impact on the local population. Detailed case studies will consider the different features of the Wall and its surroundings, considering the way in which the frontier system evolved throughout the Roman period. The changing face of both the Roman army and indigenous populations is richly illuminated through archaeological finds and reconstructions. To appreciate the range and character of native people, soldiers’ families, slaves, merchants and migrants, we will examine their homes, dress, diet, rituals and religious beliefs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the very latest research, we will investigate how archaeologists interpret evidence, considering:\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ethe factors that determine the survival of evidence\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ethe different methods of archaeological prospection used to detect settlement locations and better understand their organisation\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ethe planning of archaeological projects\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eexcavation techniques\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eand the detailed study of structures and artefacts.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of the course you can test your understanding of these methods with real case studies and participate in a series of archaeological experiments designed to help you appreciate the complexities of daily life on Rome’s most famous frontier.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more about new discoveries and how learners are helping to shape the content of these course runs on the \u003ca href=\"https://about.futurelearn.com/blog/how-learners-are-helping-shape-our-courses-about-hadrians-wall\"\u003eFutureLearn blog\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis course is intended for anyone with an interest in the archaeology or history of the Roman Empire.

We are now beginning to sequence whole genomes in the clinic, the most personal information we can have on a patient. We can start to see how genome variants might impact on health and we can direct really precise medicine to individual patients. This is not without its challenges. The genome is a huge amount of information. Identifying the causative variant (the part in the genome that can cause a change in health) is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But what does this phrase actually mean? This course will take you into the world of a Clinical Bioinformatician and show you what they do behind the scenes when finding that needle in the genomic data.

Deze cursus gaat in op de vraag wat recht is en waar je het kunt vinden.\r\n","description":"\u003cp\u003eHet recht regelt vrijwel alle aspecten van de maatschappij. Soms is dat heel zichtbaar: je komt het tegen in de rechtszaal bij een zaak tegen een grote crimineel of in de Tweede Kamer bij een verhit debat over een nieuw wetsvoorstel. Het recht regelt ook kleinere - maar belangrijke - dingen, zoals het huurcontract van je nieuwe woning of je arbeidsovereenkomst.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHet recht is daarnaast voor een groot deel ‘onzichtbaar’. Als je bijvoorbeeld de dagelijkse boodschappen afrekent bij de kassa, ben je jezelf er wellicht niet direct van bewust dat er steeds een wederkerige verbintenisscheppende overeenkomst tot stand komt tussen jou en de supermarkt. Daaruit vloeien veel meer rechten en plichten voort dan alleen het leveren van de boodschappen en het betalen daarvoor.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJuist omdat het recht zo veel invloed heeft op het leven van alledag, komt enige juridische kennis steeds van pas.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBen je in het recht geïnteresseerd, bijvoorbeeld omdat je daarmee in je werk- of privéomgeving regelmatig in aanraking komt?\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBen je op zoek naar de juiste studie, of wil je binnen je eigen studie je horizon verbreden?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDan is deze introducerende cursus interessant voor jou!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"wat-je-tijdens-deze-cursus-gaat-doen\"\u003eWat je tijdens deze cursus gaat doen\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor middel van video’s, artikelen, oefenvragen en discussies maak je de komende vijf weken jouw eerste stappen in de wereld van het recht.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDe \u003cstrong\u003eeerste week\u003c/strong\u003e legt de basis waarop we de rest van de weken voortbouwen. Wat is recht? Waar kun je het vinden? Hoe kun je het vinden? Je gaat zelf wetten en rechterlijke uitspraken opzoeken, lezen en gebruiken om je argumenten bij een juridische zaak goed te onderbouwen. Deze vaardigheden komen niet alleen gedurende deze cursus van pas, maar ook al direct in het dagelijks leven!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDe \u003cstrong\u003etweede week\u003c/strong\u003e gaat over een heel zichtbaar deel van het recht: het staatsrecht. Wie maakt de regels? Hoe verhoudt de Tweede Kamer zich tot de regering? Je gaat op ontdekkingsreis in de Grondwet en leert wat de uitwerking is van grondrechten. Is het ene grondrecht belangrijker dan het andere? Betekent de vrijheid van meningsuiting dat je alles mag zeggen? En zijn er mensen die méér mogen zeggen dan anderen?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn de \u003cstrong\u003ederde week\u003c/strong\u003e leer je meer over schade en aansprakelijkheid. Waarom kun je beter niet zomaar een kelderluik in een café open laten staan? En waarom moet je soms toch iemands schade vergoeden terwijl het niet jouw schuld was? En – ook belangrijk – wanneer hoeft dat niet?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn de \u003cstrong\u003evierde week\u003c/strong\u003e leer je wanneer en hoe je jezelf kunt verweren tegen de machtige overheid. Hoe ziet ‘het bestuur’ van ons land er precies uit? En wat kun je doen als je van de burgemeester geen project X-feestje mag houden?

is located in Northeast Asia, a region from which almost all security tension in East Asia emerges. Consider, for example, the long-standing Sino-Japanese rivalry and the unresolved territorial disputes in the East China Sea. It is often said that the territorial disputes between Tokyo and Beijing have reached a ‘boiling point.’ Also, the persistent security threats posed by North Korea’s nuclear weapons and long-range missiles cannot be taken lightly. Most of all, the rise of China and the United States’  “rebalance” toward Asia is likely to generate a new dimension of global power politics.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"explore-regional-cooperation-and-economy\"\u003eExplore regional cooperation and economy\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a global economic perspective, however, Northeast Asia is a region of cooperation and interdependence. For example, the share of intra-regional trade between China, Japan and Korea increased from 12.3% in 1990 to 22.5% in 2010. China is largest trading partner of both South Korea and Japan. South Korea is China’s third largest trading partner. In addition, two-way trade between Japan and China had reached $340 billion in 2014, and the stock of Japanese investment in China had reached $100 billion in 2014, that is $30 billion more than the next largest investor — the United States.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"contemplate-the-future-of-south-korea\"\u003eContemplate the future of South Korea\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouth Korea faces both challenges and opportunities in such a dynamic region as East Asia. Furthermore, academics and policymakers alike tend to agree that the dominant issues of the twenty-first century would be decided in Asia-Pacific. As such, South Korea’s national interests will be shaped by how it perceives and approaches the political and economic issues of East Asia and (by extension) Asia-Pacific. At the same time, the evolving regional order and thus the 21st century global politics would be affected by how South Korea, as one of the key actors of East Asia, behaves toward other regional states.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this respect, we aim to understand South Korea within the context of complex and important dynamics concerning global politics and the international relations of Asia-Pacific.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou will learn with Yong-Soo EUN, Professor of of Political Science and International Studies at Hanyang University, and the Editor-in-Chief \u003ca href=\"https://www.routledge.com/series/IRTPA\"\u003eRoutledge Series, IR Theory and Practice in Asia\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find out more about this course and related issues on \u003ca href=\"https://hanyang.academia.edu/YongSooEun\"\u003eYong-Soo’s homepage\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no special requirements for this course.
