Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …

Background: Body composition and energy metabolism assessments are central to nutrition care but remain underused. This study evaluated dietitians’ access, use, education, and beliefs toward these assessments, and the impact of an educational session. Methods: Dietitians (≥1 year experience) within Alberta …

BACKGROUND: Family members play a vital role in supporting patients during hospitalization, yet their involvement is often insufficiently recognized. Existing family assessment tools are typically developed for community or long-term care settings and are too complex or time-intensive for hospital use. …

Background and Aims Enjoying food is related to the taste, smell and texture of food, ambience during meals, presentation of the meals, and freedom to choose meals. A decrease in food enjoyment can lead to decreased food intake, undesired weight loss, and reduced quality of life. Cancer and cancer treatment …

Dual modification of potato starch in one step by combining annealing with ion exchange was identified as a potent strategy to influence functional starch properties. This dual modification was upscaled for food application studies and performed for both native and waxy potato starch at optimized conditions …

A limited number of studies have addressed rural-urban differences in ageing in place, let alone at the spatial level of the dwelling, defined as ageing@home. Ageing@home in rural areas might be challenging, especially when health deteriorates and facilities and services may be less available or accessible …

Linear supply chains for electrical and electronic equipment lead to substantial material losses and environmental impacts, particularly for polyurethane rigid foam used as insulation in refrigerators. This study investigates the systemic conditions that shape the transition towards circular supply chains …

Recent years have shown a growing effort in the evaluation of DNA given activity level propositions. Yet, its implementation remains challenging for forensic scientists due to the complexity of assessing relevant DNA TPPR mechanisms. One particular challenge is the sparsity of relevant experimental data …

BACKGROUND: The growing aging population and staff shortages are placing pressure on Dutch nursing homes (NHs). These challenges have led to an increased interest in digital health technologies. Among these are wearable devices that allow for remote continuous monitoring of vital signs. An example is …

This demo introduces prompt design as a research approach to studying visual generative AI, distinguishing it from prompt engineering practices that focus on producing aesthetically pleasing or technically polished outputs. Drawing on the query design framework from digital methods, we outline several …
