Design for a spa at the intersection of landscapes. With the sea level rise due to climate change, the traditional way of keeping the island save, by building dikes, will eventually become unaffordable.

While a relatively large literature outlines adjustment processes for retirees in general, very little empirical and theoretical attention has focused on the psychological adjustment process for bridge employees. That is to say, few studies have attempted to understand the psychological mechanisms that …

Achtergrond Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammograph (CESM) (CESM) is een nieuwe techniek binnen de mammografie die door een Low Energy opname (LE) en een High Energy opname (HE) een gecombineerd beeld geeft waarop een eventuele tumor middels contrast aankleurt. CESM heeft bewezen superieur te zijn aan …

Using fMRI, cerebral activations were studied in 24 classically-trained keyboard performers and 12 musically unskilled control subjects. Two groups of musicians were recruited: improvising (n=12) and score-dependent (non-improvising) musicians (n=12). While listening to both familiar and unfamiliar music, …

Since the publication of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) study “To Err is human”, followed by “Crossing the Quality Chasm” two years later, patient safety has become an important concern for all involved: patients, professionals and health care organisations (Bleich, 2005; Kohn, 2000).
