This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

This study evaluates the effect of gamification on the engagement and performance of first-year students in the International Supply Chain Management course at a University of Applied Sciences. Several students were exposed to the pilot of The Fresh Connection compact, a simulation game which was implemented …

Introduction: Several barriers, such as lack of time, knowledge and support, hinder clinicians from providing an individually tailored physical activity (PA) prescription and referral to their patients. As a result, “exercise is medicine” (E = M) is not systematically implemented in clinical care today. …

Over the past ten years, the ecosystem concept has been used to frame innovation and transition endeavours undertaken by multi-actor groups. Systemic design initiatives are broadly engaging with ecosystems. The concept and phenomenon have been central in theory as well as practice, though remain contested …

The widespread adoption of generative agents (GAs) is reshaping the healthcare landscape. Nonetheless, broad utilization is impeded by restricted access to high-quality, interoperable clinical documentation from electronic health records (EHRs) due to persistent legal, ethical, and technical barriers. …

Nicotine is a well-known and highly addictive substance with complex effects on cognition, anxiety, and neurophysiology. Despite its short-term anxiolytic effects, this drug often exacerbates anxiety symptoms. It disrupts emotional regulation through its impact on the central nucleus of the amygdala …

This thesis aims to evaluate the potential of an aluminum extension to improve the operational service level of the Zeelandbrug, in terms of capacity and safety. This encompasses assessing the bridge's current performance, investigating evolving regional transport demands, defining improvement priorities, …

Children from lower socioeconomic status (SES) households often face reduced educational opportunities compared to their more privileged peers. This study examined whether interactive homework assignments could help mitigate educational inequality by fostering non-instructive, positive parental involvement …

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 …

This graduation report explores the optimization of a small-scale, narrative-driven horror game, Shadows of Singraven, developed in Unreal Engine 5.4. The project was conducted as part of the Creative Media andamp; Game Technology curriculum in collaboration with XR-Lab and client Mark Boerrigter, focusing …
