This chapter “Sustainable City Logistics” explores how cities are transitioning toward more efficient, low-emission, and multimodal logistics systems. Traditional urban freight has long depended on vans and trucks, which, while essential, contribute significantly to congestion, emissions, and noise. …

Zoos play a crucial role in public education and wildlife engagement, yet traditional visits often lack interactive elements that foster meaningful connections between visitors and animals. In this paper, we introduce ZooWear, a head-mounted wearable featuring cartoon-style animal ears that provides …

This study addresses the growing need for ethical guidelines for artificial intelligence (AI) in education research by testing and refining procedures for responsible experimentation with AI in educational settings. The researchers engaged 21 Dutch Institutional Review Board (IRB) members across two …

Blockchain has often been presented as a solution to a crisis of truth.

As the field of Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) grows, various efforts have emerged to define its core terminology. This poster presents initial results from an interactive, international workshop aimed at consolidating these efforts into a cohesive, unified vocabulary. We present the key …

This paper presents a case study where a model predictive control (MPC) logic is developed for energy flexible operation of a space heating system in an educational building. A Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTM) surrogate model is trained on the output of an EnergyPlus building simulation model. …

Many higher education institutions organize summer bridge programs (SBPs) to prepare students for university. However, what a SBP should contain is unclear because few studies directly compare different theoretical approaches. This study evaluated two types of SBPs offered at a Dutch university: (A) …
