The aim of this constructive study was to develop model-based principles to provide guidance to managers and policy makers when making decisions about team size and composition in the context of home healthcare. Six model-based principles were developed based on extensive data analysis and in close interaction …

Circular and elliptical motion are fundamental topics in physics education, yet learners often struggle to grasp them. We investigate how interactive qualitative representations can be used to describe the characteristic behavior of circular and elliptical motion. We use the vocabulary and algorithms …

This paper presents three qualitative models that were developed for the Stargazing Live! program. This program consists of a mobile planetarium that aims to inspire and motivate learners using real telescope data during the experience. To further consolidate the learning experience three lessons are …

Upcycling has been embraced by circular economy enthusiasts, policy-makers and collaborative initiatives across Europe. Early studies describe upcycling as a concept aimed at resource conservation by keeping products, components and materials at their highest potential value across consecutive product …

In this TechForFuture project ‘Polymer Mixing in a Single Screw Extruder’ a method to optimize mixing elements is developed based on numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). A numerical procedure is developed to calculate the flow field in the extruder. By tracing particles in this …

Touristification of consumption spaces describes a process in which retail and hospitality businesses adapt to the tourist demand, eroding place attachment among local residents. While this is an important cause of resistance to tourism, little is known about the mechanisms that drive or mediate this …

Purpose Self-initiated expatriates (SIE) women's career decisions are often based on the establishment of close personal relationships in various spheres of life. This paper aims to explore the effects of social isolation in times of crisis on SIE women's work, psychological and general adjustment. Design/methodology/approach …

The European common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) makes use of undulatory locomotion through its lateral fins. This type of locomotion shows good potential for application for underwater vehicle thrust because it gives the user advantages like maneuverability, stable station keeping, and energy efficiency. …

This document shows the research and development that has gone into making an immersive VR experience. It shows what it is like to live with depression and how the simplest tasks become a whole workout. The game takes place in a normal house, where the player wakes up from their sleep and must leave …
