This study provides an overview of nine key elements that, according to stakeholders, contributed to the success of the Zwolle Healthy City approach, an integrated community-based approach aimed at reducing socioeconomic health inequalities. The key elements contain collaboration between a variety of …

Continuous monitoring, continuous auditing and continuous assurance are three methods that utilize a high degree of business intelligence and analytics. The increased interest in the three methods has led to multiple studies that analyze each method or a combination of methods from a micro-level. However, …

BACKGROUND: In critical care patients, reaching optimal β-lactam concentrations poses challenges, as infections are caused more often by microorganisms associated with higher MICs, and critically ill patients typically have an unpredictable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile. Conventional intermittent …

Introduction: In March 2014, the New South Wales (NSW) Government (Australia) announced the NSW Integrated Care Strategy. In response, a family-centred, population-based, integrated care initiative for vulnerable families and their children in Sydney, Australia was developed. The initiative was called …

We present a method for measuring gait velocity of older adults using data from existing ambient sensor networks. Gait velocity is an important predictor of fall risk and functional health. In contrast to other approaches that use specific sensors or sensor configurations, our method imposes no constraints …

This study was conducted to develop an analysis methodology for analysing correlation between water level and vertical deformation time series obtained from different locations at the Port of Rotterdam. The study areas include seven harbours and one kanal: Donauhaven, 7e Petroleumhaven, Londenhaven, …

The aquaculture sector is expanding worldwide, which gives this sector an important economic potential. A problem for the on land aquaculture sector is that there is insufficient quality feed for cultivating fish larvae and shellfish. Based on this problem the RAAQUA project was launched (Robust Algae …

PURPOSE: The objectives of this review are to summarize the current practices and major recent advances in critical care nutrition and metabolism, review common beliefs that have been contradicted by recent trials, highlight key remaining areas of uncertainty, and suggest recommendations for the top …

Water velocity in rearing units for Atlantic salmon post-smolt can influence fish robustness. Studies have shown that training at velocities between 1-2 body lengths/second (bl/s) increases disease resistance in salmonid species. Monitoring and timely adjustments to the water velocity during post-smolt …

PURPOSE: The early detection of a decline in daily functioning of independently living older people can aid health care professionals in providing preventive interventions. To monitor daily activity patterns and, thereby detect a decline in daily functioning, new technologies, such as sensors can be …
