Identifying Potential Vertical Spaces for Nature-Based Solutions using Geospatial and Artificial Intelligence Analysis
(2025)Cities globally are faced with many challenges such as the urban heat island effect, urban storm water management, and climate change. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are able to mitigate the impact of these aforementioned ... -
Bridging the Intention-Action Gap in Life Projects: The Moderating Roles of Agency, Age, and Culture in Brazil and Portugal
(2025)This study investigated how agency, age, and culture are associated with the coherence between Life Project (LP) identification and involvement and thus narrows the so-called intention–action gap which can be seen as the ... -
Evaluating the Effect of Basic Insurance Inclusion on Physiotherapy Use: The INSPIRE Study (Insurance and Physiotherapy Research Evaluation)
(2025)ABSTRACT Background: To promote substitution of care, the Dutch basic health insurance (BHI) package has expanded in recent years to include physiotherapy for conditions such as knee/hip osteoarthritis (KHOA), intermittent ... -
Selecting meaningful images: The importance of global and local visual cues in EQA
(2025)Embodied Question Answering (EQA) challenges agents to explore an environment and select relevant visual information to answer questions posed in natural language. Existing EQA systems often use vision-language models ... -
Algorithmic fairness in ECG analysis: exploring the impact of sex imbalance on neural network performance
(2025)In cardiovascular research, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated efficacy in predicting disease outcomes and supporting triage assessments based on ECG data. CNN networks have been shown to be able ... -
Jong in de zorg: gekaderd door generatiestereotypering
(2025)Generatiestereotypering vormt een terugkerend fenomeen binnen de ziekenhuiscontext, waarin jonge zorgprofessionals regelmatig worden geconfronteerd met generaliserende aannames over hun werkhouding, belastbaarheid en ... -
genoPlotR2: Automatable generation of visually appealing gene maps
(2025)In comparative genomics, gene maps are a commonly used tool to visualize gene neighborhoods in multiple genomes at the same time. While existing tools are tailored for making visually appealing plots of well-studied regions, ... -
Gut microbiome composition and dynamics and campylobacter characterization in households in Bangladesh
(2025)The early development of the gut microbiome and exposure to pathogens such as Campylobacter are crucial to long-term health. Despite the burden of Campylobacter-associated gastroenteritis in lower- and middle-income ... -
Controlling the synthesis of Bi2Se3 nanoplatelets
(2025)Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) is an excellent topological insulator, making the material interesting for optoelectronics, spintronics, quantum computing and thermoelectronics. The properties depend on the dimension of the ... -
Assessing the impact of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapse on the Amazon rainforest.
(2025)Models and observations suggest that due to unprecedented stress induced by climate change and deforestation, parts of the Amazon rainforest might transition to a savanna-like state. In this thesis we investigate how changes ... -
Investigating the Interaction between RNF125 and Glutamine Synthetase: Towards a New Model
(2025)Adipocytes are the primary component of adipose tissue and are critical for homeostatic control of the whole body's metabolism. To maintain healthy adipose tissue, preadipocytes are constantly differentiated into adipocytes ... -
Toward a Sustainable TV Industry: Measuring the Carbon Footprint Across a Production’s Life Cycle
(2025)Despite having a substantial environmental impact, the carbon footprint of the television industry has remained largely unexplored. Most research to date has concentrated on production-related emissions, leaving crucial ... -
Towards Real-Time Intraoperative Recognition of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve (RLN) in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE)
(2025)Background Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a serious complication of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE) that may lead to vocal cord paralysis and aspiration. Automatic anatomy recognition ... -
Targeting the Target Trial; a review of target trial element operationalization
(2025)Researchers often make use of Randomized Controlled Trails (RCT) to uncover whether a treatment truly works or not. By randomly assigning patients to either control (patient does not receive treatment of interest) or ... -
Deprescribing practices of medication in palliative patients in primary care
(2025)Introduction Palliative patients have a high prevalence of polypharmacy (54-94%). This also increases the risk of receiving potentially inappropriate medications, which can negatively impact the quality of life. The aim ...
