The individual variation in depositing DNA traces, historically termed “shedder status,” represents a critical variable in forensic activity level evaluations. However, the integration of this concept into casework is currently hindered by inconsistent terminology, a lack of standardized definitions, …

OBJECTIVE: Telehealth is increasingly used to expand access to healthcare, but rapid digitalization risks exacerbating exclusion among frail older adults, who often face intersecting limitations related to health, resources, and digital competence. As this group frequently has complex care needs, mapping …

Citizen participation in research, innovation, and implementation can strengthen the success of health interventions. The Dutch research group Bridge2Health focuses on citizen science (CS), considering it an overarching concept for approaches and methods that actively engage citizens in the research, …

Deelname van burgers aan onderzoek, innovatie, en implementatie kan het succes van gezondheidsinterventies versterken. De SPRONG-groep Bridge2Health heeft Citizen Science (CS) als focus en beschouwt dit als een overkoepelend begrip voor werkwijzen en methoden waarbij burgers actief betrokken worden bij …

This research originated from the need to transform unstructured internship assignment descriptions from the OnStage dataset into structured insights that support a better understanding of SME challenges in the Zeeland region.

Climate adaptation requires innovative approaches to address collaborative knowledge exchange and multidisciplinary problem solving. For over a decade, ClimateScan has provided an open-source platform to map urban resilience and existing climate adaptation solutions implemented all over the world. Apart …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Globally, 70% of Average Annual Losses (AAL) are attributed to climatic hazards - rising temperature extremes, increased flooding, and water scarcity and security - marking a significant impact on urban areas. Notably, flooding has been the most prominent disaster, accounting for 44% of total reported …

Abstract Agricultural chemicals pose increasing risks to soil, water and living organisms. Remote sensing (RS) offers potential to monitor vegetation responses to chemical treatments, yet most existing studies rely on limited samples, optical data only, or controlled experiments. This study explores …
