Empowering trainees- and their supervisors to design interprofessional learning in the general practice setting.
(2025)Aim: This paper addresses the challenge of translating educational theory into practical application in clinical learning environments. It presents the development of a literature-informed tool designed to support ... -
Parametric Design for supply chain collaboration: towards a circular built environment
(2025)A Circular Economy perspective is needed to mitigate the extensive negative environmental impacts of the construction industry. However, the fragmented supply chain, marked by low collaboration amongst the various actors, ... -
Late Holocene Fire and Vegetation Dynamics on Bonaire: A charcoal-based study of two hypersaline lakes on Bonaire examining human and climatic forcing of Late Holocene fire frequency and vegetation dynamics.
(2025)This study presents the first high-resolution reconstruction of Late Holocene fire regimes and vegetation dynamics on Bonaire, a semi-arid island in the southern Caribbean. Using sediment cores from two hypersaline lakes ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for simulating wave propagation, synthetic seismogram generation, and prediction of wavespeed distribution
(2025)This study investigates the application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for the forward modeling of seismic wave propagation and inverse modeling to obtain the wavespeed distribution. PINNs are a class of neural ... -
Stem Gemist Zorg Gemist: Een verkennend onderzoek naar epistemisch onrecht en de ervaringen van Somalische vrouwen met zorgverlening rondom meisjesbesnijdenis binnen de Nederlandse geboortezorg, huisartsenzorg en jeugdgezondheidszorg.
(2025)Doel: Dit onderzoek verkent hoe epistemisch onrecht, oftewel onrecht dat iemand treft in zijn rol als bron van kennis, zich manifesteert in zorginteracties met Somalische vrouwen rondom meisjesbesnijdenis binnen de Nederlandse ... -
From protocol to practice: Community organizing for fair Access and Benefit-Sharing under the Nagoya Protocol
(2025)Globally there have been relatively few observations of the exchanges of genetic resources under the Nagoya Protocol. The Nagoya Protocol requires communities to be organized, yet this is challenging. Studies on community ... -
You are not Special - The Challenge of Artificial Moral Agents to Human Exceptionalism
(2025)This thesis examines whether artificial systems can genuinely possess moral agency and what this possibility means for human exceptionalism. It asks: Can moral agency remain a foundation for human exceptionalism in light ... -
Generative AI Literacy in Dutch Public Organizations: Competency Requirements for Responsible Governance and Use
(2025)The rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming public organizations, raising questions about responsible use, governance, and workforce preparedness. While AI literacy has been widely studied in ... -
A scatter correction algorithm for quantitative total body PET scanning for cancer patients
(2025)PET imaging has an important role in early detection of cancer. However, the data acquired during a scan contains noise, which degrades image quality. One of the major contributing factors is scatter, which can be modeled ... -
An Island-Based Evolutionary Algorithm with a Novel Fitness Approximation Function for the Influence Maximization Problem
(2025)nfluence Maximization (IM) seeks the set of nodes that maximizes expected influence spread under a diffusion model on a static network. Existing Evolu- tionary Algorithms (EA) approaches are limited by slow or inaccurate ... -
The Impact of Characterization on Player Immersion in an Educational Escape Room: An Explorative Study on Protein Folding
(2025)This study examined how characterization influences student immersion in an educational escape room (EER) centered on protein folding concepts. Ten secondary school students participated in a specially designed escape box ... -
Moving on after Fossil Fuels: Groningen's Gas Field Closure and the Quest for a Just Transition
(2025)The urgency of transitioning to sustainable energy is widely acknowledged in addressing climate change, but growing attention is now directed at justice aspects in these transitions. However, most just transition literature ... -
Contextualized Representation Learning for Robust Multi-Modal Reasoning
(2025)Recent advancements in computing resources and the accumulation of large-scale data have enabled the development of Large Vision-Language Model, which typically consist a vision encoder to extract image features and language ... -
A mechanistic understanding of Dynein mediated centrosomal translocation in activated T cells
(2025)Our adaptive immune system is capable of detecting and removing foreign invaders but also unhealthy cancerous and virally-infected human cells. This process depends on strictly regulated intracellular T cell receptor (TCR) ... -
Identification of protein properties associated with prostate cancer EVs using machine learning
(2025)In this study, we focus on proteins released by prostate cancer cells that form small particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs play a crucial role in how cancer spreads in the body by carrying a variety of ... -
Early behavioral indicators for the onset of post-weaning diarrhea in piglets
(2025)Introduction: Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is common in pig production and has a substantial economic impact. Moreover, PWD has a great impact on piglet health and welfare. Diarrhea presents itself in the first week post ...
