Innovating physical products can be seen as systems engineering at a higher abstraction level. It spans multiple domains and focuses not on developing the product, but realising the complete innovation. In our new approach, we focus on the four most important domains of physical product innovation: market, …

Key takeaways from the project underscore the importance of fostering long-term collaborations between technical experts, communities, and institutional partners. By integrating technical innovation with human-centred design, the SUSTENANCE project has not only advanced renewable energy adoption but …

De regenworm is in het dierenrijk al een lekkernij van onder andere vogels, egels, vissen. En als het aan een wormenkweker in het Groningse dorp Oostwold ligt, maakt het eiwitrijke diertje in de toekomst ook deel uit van het menselijke dieet, als duurzaam alternatief voor vlees. Toch is de kans klein …

In a home care setting, high-quality care is typically associated with continuity of care. In addition, the increasing pressure due to labor shortages calls for cost-efficient operations. This paper focuses on obtaining cost-efficient daily schedules over a longer time horizon, with balanced shift lengths, …

Knowledge of the time of deposition is pivotal in forensic investigations. Recent studies show that changes in intrinsic fluorescence over time can be used to estimate the age of body fluids. These changes have been attributed to oxidative modifications caused by protein–lipid interactions. This pilot …

PURPOSE: This study aims to explore the meaningful contributions of rehabilitation for participants living with persistent pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A phenomenological methodology was used. Thirteen purposefully selected participants, who self-identified as substantially improved from persistent pain …

This research publication is part of the book Creating empowering environments for people with dementia : addressing inclusive design from homes to cities. Summary of the whole book: This edited volume addresses the environments that exacerbate, exclude, and stigmatise those living with dementia to explore …
