BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning is fundamental to safe and effective Emergency Medical Services (EMS) care. EMS providers operate in dynamic, time-pressured environments characterised by diagnostic uncertainty, limited information, and high-stakes decisions. These conditions necessitate rapid yet adaptable …

A large-scale field experiment was established in the Dubbele Dijk polder (Groningen, The Netherlands) to compare regenerative and conventional farming systems under identical crop rotations. The site presents a rare experimental condition: the upper 80 cm of topsoil was removed during construction of …

This graduation report is a comparison of settlement mitigation techniques for embankments built on soft ground in the Netherlands. The research is focused on the soft deltaic soil conditions in the Netherlands, where clay, peat, and organic clay layers can cause high settlements, slow consolidation, …

Before finalizing the design plans for the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, requested by IDOM’s client, a flood risk analysis of the site is required. Within this flood risk analysis, the impacts on the SWRO site will be simulated during a rainfall event with a return period …

Decarbonising aviation is a growing priority in global climate mitigation, yet research in this domain remains fragmented across disciplines and themes. This study offers the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of aviation decarbonisation research over the past 25 years, using the Bibliometrix …

Background Practical work provides the unique opportunity for students to make a clear connection between their hands-on activities and the underlying minds-on concepts, but research indicates that these possibilities are used relatively little or unsuccessfully. Purpose In this study, lesson design …

Background and Aim. Many patients experience anxiety during hospitalization. Hospital environments can support patients with the mitigation of anxiety. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of which design elements can affect sense of control, social support, and positive distraction, …

Ethical tools are frequently proposed as a means to promote the design and implementation of responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI). Yet many organizations designing and deploying AI make only limited use of ethical tools. This study explores the application of ethical tools for responsible AI in the …

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising alter- native for efficient natural gas storage at moderate pressures. However, the presence of higher alkanes in natural gas mixtures can significantly affect storage performance by reducing methane adsorption capacity. …

Biophilia, while often seen as a fashionable concept in design and architecture, goes well beyond being just a fad; rather, it is a necessity driven by deep human and ecological needs. In an era of rapid urbanization and increasing lifestyle-related health problems, as well as climate change and declining …
