Digitale zorg onder mensen met een chronische aandoening: De invloed van leeftijd, geslacht, opleiding, aantal diagnoses en ernst van de lichamelijke beperking
(2024)Inleiding: Dit onderzoek richt zich op het gebruik en de houding ten opzichte van digitale zorg onder mensen met een chronische aandoening. De gezondheidszorg staat voor steeds grotere uitdagingen door het stijgende aantal ... -
Toward Efficient Raw Image Denoising with Foundation Models
(2024)Deep-learning based denoising models are used to replace traditional denoising methods because of their better generalization ability and accuracy. Generating realistic pair wise data is important for the accuracy of these ... -
Rip current related swimmer safety
(2024)Rip currents form a significant challenge for beach safety. These nearshore seaward currents are often hard to spot and even harder to predict. Although several studies have been done on this topic, by far the most were ... -
How do storm sequences impact dune erosion? Modelling a 2022 storm group at Egmond aan Zee in XBeach
(2024)Sandy beaches and dunes form the primary flood defences along a large part of the Dutch coast. Dune safety assessments are formulated in terms of the morphological response to a benchmark storm occurring in isolation. ... -
The Role of Social Networks and Personal Characteristics in Shaping Fertility Intentions: A Multi-Method Machine Learning Perspective
(2024)This study aims to explore how individual and social network characteristics influence women’s desire to have children. For this purpose, individual and network attributes were used for predicting fertility intentions. The ... -
To what extent can we accurately predict water depth from overhead images using linear and non-linear methods, in a scaled laboratory estuary environment
(2024)Physical scale experiments improve our comprehension of fluvial, tidal, and coastal processes. However, acquiring accurate, precise, and continuous data on water depth has been difficult due to the limitations inherent in ... -
Applicability of Fully Mobile Measurements for Noise Maps
(2024)Noise maps provide insight into the distribution of environmental noise throughout an area. This makes them an essential tool in communication regarding- and planning measures against- noise pollution. Currently, most ... -
Household Fertility Forecasting in the Netherlands: Data-Driven Predictions
(2024)Forecasting fertility trends is crucial for understanding demographic shifts and their societal implications. However, accurately predicting fertility patterns remains a challenge due to the complex interplay of economic, ... -
Chaos amidst the Flock: Clustering Oil Barrel Trajectories
(2024)This study explores the effectiveness of various clustering algorithms in reducing data variability in maritime oil barrel pollution analysis. The research investigates four clustering methods - k-Means, Agglomerative, ... -
The Complementary Potential of Free-Floating Car Sharing Services to Public Transport in Turin
(2024)This thesis studies the potential of free-floating car sharing (FFCS) to supplement public transport in Turin, a city with a well-developed transit system and substantial car sharing network. The integration of FFCS with ... -
Prompt Engineering for filling in evidence tables
(2024)The development of medical guidelines is essential but often labor-intensive and time-consuming. This study explores the potential of leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4o, to automate the creation ... -
The relationship between social media use, social connectedness, and mental health among adolescents: A scoping review
(2024)Background Social connections serve as a protective factor for adolescent mental health. An increase in the use of online technology among adolescents has influenced their social connectedness and mental health in various ... -
eHealth Questionnaire and Chat Tools in the General Practice a Research on the Use of Digital Tools in Dutch General Practices and its Impacts on Healthcare Professionals
(2024)Background: Due to the ageing population, increasing care demands, and personnel shortages, eHealth questionnaire and chat tools are increasingly used in primary care. However, there is limited research on the impact of ... -
Speaker Generalization Using Autoencoders for Reconstructing Word Articulations
(2024)Individuals with neurological conditions, including brainstem stroke or progressive Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often experience severe speech and motor impairment. In some cases, this results in a complete loss ... -
Automated Testing Agent Movement through 3D Environments with Omnidirectional Movement
(2024)Auto-navigation and exploration are crucial for performing automated tests. Existing automated testing tools can do this well in 2D games, but there is no tool yet for 3D games with omnidirectional movement. We created a ... -
A Conceptual Model Perspective on the Coupling of El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Global Mean Surface Temperature
(2024)El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the most energetic source of inter-annual climate variability, affects not only the regional climate in its tropical Pacific origin but also the global climate. During El Niño events, ...
