A novel synthetic approach to 2,6-bis(acrylamido)pyridine (BAAPy) has been developed, producing a dual-function monomer able to self-crosslink while providing functional binding sites through its amide and pyridine groups. The monomer's structure and purity were confirmed through NMR, FTIR, and HPLC …

Background Stroke is a major cause of disability globally, with high recurrence rates despite the implementation of secondary prevention strategies. Promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour are critical to mitigate these risks. Collaborative research approaches, including citizen …

OBJECTIVES: Amplitude-mode (A-mode) ultrasonography is a promising technique to monitor loss and recovery of skeletal muscle in patients with burns. However, its clinimetric properties are unknown. Therefore, we determined its feasibility, interrater, and intrarater reliability, and clinical utility. …

In 2023 heeft de gemeente Amsterdam het stadsdeelpanel geïntroduceerd als participatievorm. Staddeelpanels beogen bij te dragen aan betere oplossingen voor vraagstukken op het niveau van stadsdelen door bewoners adviezen te laten formuleren om deze vraagstukken aan te pakken. De stadsdeelpanels adviseren …

We developed a lesson where students construct a qualitative representation to learn how clock genes are regulated. The lesson, designed for upper secondary and higher education, is implemented in the DynaLearn software (level 4), which allows for modelling feedback loops. Students construct the representation …

We present GarpN, a software tool designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative modelling. GarpN has three functionalities: translating a qualitative representation into a quantitative model, running numerical simulations and detecting quantitative states, and matching these states to their qualitative …

This paper describes the development of a systemsbased reference model to support teachers in learning about collaborative learning among teachers. By representing collaborative dynamics into a formal model, the project offers a tangible means to support sustained, collective professional growth. The …

De afgelopen jaren heeft Nationale ombudsman Reinier van Zutphen tal van onderzoeken gedaan naar de gevolgen van de gaswinning in Groningen. Daarbij adviseerde hij de Tweede Kamer en het kabinet steevast over hoe het herstelproces beter kan worden ingericht. Zijn doel: Groningers ondersteunen die vastlopen …

Thematic analysis (TA) has become a prominent qualitative research method for identifying patterns in experiences, responses, narratives, and meanings in relation to a research question. In this paper, we provide researchers with an understanding of different approaches to TA and offer practical guidance …

AIM: To extract and interpret quantitative data exploring the effectiveness of family health conversations (FHCs) on family functioning, perceived support, health-related quality of life, caregiver burden and family health in families living with critical or chronic health conditions. BACKGROUND: Addressing …
