Inleiding: gedurende het verouderingsproces verandert de lichaamssamenstelling. Afname in spiermassa en spierkracht leiden tot verminderd fysiek functioneren. Meetmethoden als DEXA, CT, MRI en BIA zijn echter in de dagelijkse praktijk niet altijd bruikbaar om deze veranderingen waar te nemen. Daarentegen …

Purpose: Measurement of muscle mass is paramount in the screening and diagnosis of sarcopenia. Besides muscle quantity however, also quality assessment is important. Ultrasonography (US) has the advantage over dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and bio-impedance analysis (BIA) to give both quantitative …

Achtergrond: Dansers zijn atletische kunstenaars werkzaam binnen een gewichtsklassesport. Om te voldoen aan de juiste ranke lichaamssamenstelling zijn dansers geneigd extreme methodes in te zetten. Om complicaties als gevolg hiervan te voorkomen is het meten en monitoren van de lichaamssamenstelling …

In deze kwantitatieve fantoomstudie is de invloed van lucht in de darmen op een dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan onderzocht. De gehanteerde onderzoeksvraag luidt: In hoeverre heeft de hoeveelheid lucht in de darmen na een (virtuele) coloscopie invloed op de gemeten "bone mineral density" van een …

Legal persons (i.e., entities such as corporations, companies, partnerships, firms, associations, and foundations) may commit financial crimes or employ fraudulent activities like money laundering, tax fraud, or bankruptcy fraud.

In this paper we present a system that generates questions from an ontology to determine a crisis situation by ordinary people using their mobile phone: the Situation Awareness Question Generator. To generate questions from an ontology we propose a formalization based on Situation Theory and several …

Background: Haemodialysis patients have a high risk of malnutrition which is associated with increased mortality. Nocturnal haemodialysis (NHD) is associated with a significant increase in protein intake compared with conventional haemodialysis (CHD). It is unclear whether this leads to improved nutritional …

Background: Physical inactivity and overweight are two known risk factors for postmenopausal breast cancer. Former exercise intervention studies showed that physical activity influences sex hormone levels, known to be related to postmenopausal breast cancer, mainly when concordant loss of body weight …

We investigate whether the automatic generation of questions from an ontology leads to a trustworthy determination of a situation. With our Situation Awareness Question Generator (SAQG) we automatically generate questions from an ontology. The experiment shows that people with no previous experience …
