This paper presents a case study about the responsible design of a recommender system of a prominent Dutch Public Service Media (PSM) organization, combining personalized content recommendations to users while aligning with the organization’s overarching mission of fostering diversity. A conceptual framework …

Purpose: During the last decade, new continuing learning pathways have been designed and implemented in the Dutch Vocational Education and Training (VET) column aiming to foster students' transitions between successive educational levels. Prototypical examples of such continuing learning …

Aims: To investigate the impact of consecutive perioperative care transitions on in-hospital recovery of patients who had primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over an 11-year period. Methods: This observational cohort study used electronic health record data from all patients undergoing preoperative …

One behavioural intervention that can help increase the opportunity to separate organic waste is offering a organic waste bin and bags. But which type of bin is best to offer to residents, do you give a choice or not, and how can you best manage the distribution? We tried to answer these questions through …

Source Segregation (SS) is a novel strategy in dairy housing that can reduce emissions and separate organic matter and nutrients more efficiently than traditional slurry solid-liquid separation. The anaerobic digestion (AD) methane yield of the SS fractions, however, is unknown. We aimed at unveiling …

Severe mental illness (SMI) imposes a significant burden on individuals, resulting in long-lasting symptoms, lower social functioning and impaired physical health. Physical activity (PA) interventions can improve both mental and physical health and care workers can serve as healthy role models. Yet, …

This study aimed to evaluate the children's usage and their physical activity levels at playgrounds with (N = 4) and without (N = 4) organized sports activities, following a quasi-experimental study design.

The literature on responsive regulation argues that citizens should be involved in regulatory practices to avoid capture between regulator and regulatee. It also argues that including citizens can add an important perspective to regulatory practices. However, we know little about how citizens' perspectives …

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …
