Malnutrition has been associated with a higher risk of adverse events and decreased quality of life and survival. Patients with a high risk of malnutrition often receive pretreatment dietary treatment …

This thesis introduces a cost-effective methodology for estimating tire contact patch forces and moments at wheel centre using axial force measurements from suspension linkages. The primary aim is to reconstruct these dynamic quantities, eliminating reliance on expensive wheel force transducers (WFTs) …

Methane, the primary component of natural gas, emits less carbon dioxide than other petroleum-based fuels but faces challenges in efficient storage and transportation. Advanced adsorption materials provide a safe and cost-effective solution, with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) emerging as promising …

An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and …

Generalists in palliative care and professionals with specialized expertise, including palliative care nurses, achieve high-quality palliative care. To strengthen their role, it is essential to understand the tasks palliative care nurses perform and their position within the organizations. We aim to …

The growing adoption of residential and community-based photovoltaics (PV) have raised concerns about grid congestion and transformer overload. This paper evaluates three strategies for PV–battery integration in decentralised energy communities using real network and residential data to address these …

The Global Infrastructure Resilience ReportThe First Global Infrastructure Resilience (GIR) Report, published by the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) in October 2023, marked a significant milestone in the global efforts to advance disaster and climate-resilient infrastructure. Addressing …

Background & aims: Body composition and energy metabolism (BC and EM) assessments inform patients’ nutritional status and allow the identification, diagnosis, and management of core nutritional problems. However, a structured approach or care model for integrating these assessments into the nutrition …

Food loss and waste (FLW) remains a critical global challenge, particularly in the food and beverage (F&B) sector, where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operate under tight margins and fragmented supply chains. This study investigates how F&B SMEs in the Netherlands address sustainability (including …
