The healthcare sector ranks among the largest consumers of single-use plastics, generating substantial amounts of waste, an issue strikingly captured in Maria Koijck's breast surgery photography. To reduce the environmental impact, biobased and biodegradable polymers are promising alternatives to conventional …

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, shifting to rail transport is crucial. This transition will increase the demand on existing rail infrastructure, necessitating large-scale monitoring to maintain its resilience. Point cloud data are an ideal candidate for this purpose, as …

The study conducted in this report was carried out at TGW Ibérica as part of a graduation internship, with the goal to improve the palletization process in the outbound area of "Client A," one of the world’s largest textile companies. The current situation of a client's palletizing process is that it …

The construction and demolition is a resource intensive sector, with Construction and Demolition Wastes (CDWs) considered as the largest waste streams accounting for 374 million tonnes in Europe. Although the 70% target for material recovery of CDWs set in the European Union Waste Directive Framework …

Despite decades of residence, Turkish-Dutch citizens, one of the largest immigrant groups in the Netherlands, continue to face significant disparities in health, social, and economic factors compared to native Dutch citizens. To better understand this persistent disparity, we examined the acculturation …

Abstract Introduction: The construct of epistemic trust (ET) has gained wide acceptance and support in the field, although there is little empirical evidence to substantiate the theo retical assumed model. Studies of the assessment of ET were conducted in community samples only and the mediating role …

Study orientation tools are frequently grounded in the notion that achieving person-environment (PE) fit is key to academic success. Nevertheless, the literature reveals two notable gaps: the focus on predictive rather than explanatory role of PE fit within a broader set of variables, and its varying …

"The energy sector remains the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany, highlighting the urgent need for a transition toward climate-friendly and renewable technologies. At the same time, the energy and electrical engineering sectors face the most significant skills shortage among STEM …

"In the first quarter of 2025, 42.5% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources. In June 2025, solar was the largest source of EU electricity for the first time, with multiple countries producing record amounts of solar power. At least 13 member states set new monthly solar …

"The integration of e-mobility into the energy mix plays a crucial role in reducing CO₂ emissions, as transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas output. By addressing urban mobility challenges and optimizing electric vehicle systems, this teaching concept links technical …
