The new government also succeeded in negotiating an end to a separatist rebellion in Aceh, making the province the only region in Indonesia...

In 2013 Christoph Möllers published his impressive monograph, "The Three Branches.A Comparative Model of Separation of Powers". This inspirational book led to the idea to pitch it against both the agenda of us as researchers of the Institute of Public Law at Leiden Law School and our own insights, as well as that of fellow scholars in the field.

Voor goede resultaten bij het aanleggen en onderhouden van tuinen en andere groenvoorzieningobjecten is een juiste grondbewerking noodzakelijk. Planten zullen zich beter ontwikkelen bij een goede grond-, water, en luchtverhouding. Het opheffen van storende lagen voorkomt dat tuinen bij overvloedige regenval te lang nat zijn. In drogere perioden zal een aanwezige watervoorraad eerder beschikbaar zijn als er geen belemmering is ten aanzien van het opstijgend vermogen, de capillaire werking.
