Degrowth Urban Mobilities and Insights into how Universities Interact with its Themes.
(2023)Humanity is facing unprecedented challenges dealing with the effect of anthropogenic climate change on the planet. Without radical solutions across all sectors of society aimed at addressing these climate problems, the ... -
Comparing seasonally-varied CNNs in vegetation segmentation performance
(2023)In the Netherlands, management of coastal dunes has changed focus from short-term flood prevention and drinking water protection to long-term biodiversity promotion and back-dune development. To understand the impact of ... -
Exploring the Intercorrelations of Big Five Personality Traits: Comparing Questionnaire-Based Methods and Automated Personality Assessment using BERT and RNN Models
(2023)This study investigates the performance of two deep learning models, RoBERTa and Bi-LSTM, in predicting the Big Five personality traits and capturing the correlations among personality traits from text data. The models’ ... -
Using satellite products to improve random forest-based error correction of hydrological streamflow model
(2023)Hydrological models are important tools for making streamflow predic- tions and studying the effects of climate change on water resources around the world. This study aims to improve a global hybrid hydrological stream- ... -
An analysis of future malaria intensity and climatic suitability in Uganda.
(2023)Malaria is a large health threat on the African continent. The transmission of the parasite is highly dependent on precipitation and temperature levels. Relatively low temperatures in the highlands of Uganda can be inhibiting ... -
Exploring Gender-Based Stereotypical Employee Drives: A Comparative Study of Government and Commercial Sectors
(2023)This study explores gender-biased drives within the Government sector and Commercial industries. By focusing on four specific drives, namely Dominance, Decision Making, Social Empathy, and Helping, the aim is to uncover ... -
Bestuursmodellen in Beweging.
(2023)In dit onderzoek is de houdbaarheid van het bestuursmodel van hybride sportbonden onderzocht. Sportbonden zijn onder druk van maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen in de loop der jaren veranderd van traditioneel beherende en ... -
Social Impact Through Inclusion: The Case of De Voorkamer.
(2023)This study attempts to understand the relationship between De Voorkamer (a community organisation in Utrecht, the Netherlands) and its community and how social impact is created through this interaction. This is done ... -
Realising Transformative Change through the Evaluation of Urban Nature-Based Solutions: An Exploration of the Netherlands
(2023)The dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss increase the vulnerability of cities, which are dealing with challenges of extreme weather events, degrading urban ecosystems and increasing temperatures. Nature-based ... -
A Protocol for Sampling Ecohydrological Traits in Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape
(2023)The Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) of Nepal is a global priority conservation area for the Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigristigris). The Bengal Tiger faces numerous threats to its survival, including a decrease in prey availability ... -
Forming Markets for Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies: The Role and Influence of Voluntary and Compliance Carbon Markets
(2023)Limiting global temperature rise requires carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at large scales. Yet, commercial deployment of CDR technologies is limited, and establishing a global CDR market is vital to secure funding for scaling ... -
Roadblocks of Polarization - Mechanisms of Cultural Resistance to a Speed Limit on German Highways
(2023)Culture and identity are increasingly recognized as shaping the acceptance of national climate policy and thereby the opportunities, challenges, and dynamics of achieving ambitious climate action. One of the main strands ... -
ViTs vs. CNNs for 3D Medical Image Segmentation: Are Transformers All You Need?
(2023)The influence of Vision Transformers (ViTs) is increasing in the field of medical image segmentation. In recent years, several papers have presented ViT-based architectures that outperform the previously state-of-the-art ... -
Weakly Supervised Training with Explainable Artificial Intelligence to Predict Breast-Cancer Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
(2023)This study investigated the feasibility of weakly-supervised deep regression for predicting patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) images. We used radiological tumor ...
