Abstract gepubliceerd in Elsevier: Introduction: Recent research has identified the issue of ‘dose creep’ in diagnostic radiography and claims it is due to the introduction of CR and DR technology. More recently radiographers have reported that they do not regularly manipulate exposure factors for different …

Introduction In the Netherlands, hospitals have difficulty in implementing the formal procedure of comparing radiation dose values to Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs).

The development of eHealth applications requires a new methodological approach, departing from the more conventional methods dedicated to designing health information systems. There is a gap between theories to design persuasive eHealth applications and practices. We consequently advocate an integrated, …

An integrated, systematic and practical, scientifically based methodology to design effective persuasive eHealth applications is being proposed. It is developed from a didactic and educational perspective

This article focuses on the development of professional learning communities (PLCs), which are communities within schools, composed of voluntary participating teachers facilitated by school principals with a specific task to accomplish as part of a larger innovation project.

One of the most remarkable phenomena in nature is mimicry, in which one species (the mimic) evolves to imitate the phenotype of another species (the model). Several reasons for the origin of mimicry have been proposed, but no definitive conclusion has been found yet. In this paper, we test several of …

In multi-agent settings, the best action to take typically depends on the actions that other agents will perform. In such situations, it may be useful to make a model of the behavior of others. However, if others are doing the same, that model of behavior itself may include a model of the behavior of …

Atherosclerosis is the development of lipid-laden plaques in arteries and is nowadays considered as an inflammatory disease. It has been shown that high doses of ionizing radiation, as used in radiotherapy, can increase the risk of development or progression of atherosclerosis. To elucidate the effects …
