The new Unifocus, the video magazine of the University of Groningen, is online. In this week's edition:

• What martyr videos tell us. Pieter Nanninga describes why suicide attacks play such an important role in the jihadi movement.
• Is football a jury sport? Football has become a jury sport according to Gerard Sierksma, honorary professor of Sportmetrics. The influence of referees on the outcome of major games has become disproportionately large.
