Through a combination of literature review, case studies, and controlled experiments, methods for creating digital …

Steeds vaker worden digital twins gebruikt om de publieke ruimte anders te organiseren. Dat heeft invloed op het welzijn van burgers. Maar de meeste burgers hebben weinig kennis over die technologie, zien Anne-Marie Sweep, Brishna Nader en Bart Wernaart. Hoe bevraag je hen dan toch over wat ze wel of …

The urban energy transition is crucial for a sustainable future. To support this transition, Digital Twins are employed in an increasing fashion, providing decision makers with data-driven insights from mainly technological perspectives. Based on a case study of a neighbourhood in a Dutch municipality, …

Contextgericht onderwijs wordt steeds belangrijker voor het opleiden van toekomstige zorg- en ICT-professionals. Studenten moeten niet alleen technische of zorginhoudelijke kennis opdoen, maar vooral leren hoe hun werk past binnen de complexe praktijkcontext. Die praktijk is sterk in beweging door digitalisering …

Background Refrigerated containers or 'reefers' are essential for transporting fresh fruit and vegetables in transnational supply chains. By refrigeration, they ensure that food quality is better preserved and food losses are reduced. Countries that produce fresh produce also unlock new markets for export …

Nowadays, one of the major current health risks is excessive sitting during work hours. Furthermore, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the corresponding government state of emergency forced many people to work from home. These constraints carried out an important change in the lifestyle …
