Objective: Simulation training in medical settings is a cornerstone in medical education to practice technical and non-technical skills. The objective of this study was to evaluate user experiences and initial reactions to a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) simulation designed for anaesthesiologists. Methods: …

This study evaluates the performance of a counter-rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR-DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar-sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material …

Introduction Supporting patients to achieve healthy physical activity (PA) levels can enhance meaningful participation. However, interventions rarely result in sustained PA. There is a need for person-centred approaches that integrate patients' unique contexts and link them with principles of behavioural …

The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in humans, animals, and the environment underscores the necessity for a rapid, sensitive, and specific method to identify resistance genes. Objectives: This study aims to develop a reliable detection tool for identifying the tetracycline-resistant …

This article compares exoneration with the correlated concept of forgiveness. According to Contextual Therapy, a fundamental distinction exists between the two. It states that exoneration depends on an adult reassessment of history, resulting in the offender being freed of guilt. Conversely, according …

3D lithography by two-photon photopolymerization enables the fabrication of complex microstructures that incorporate nanomaterials assembled in a controlled manner. This technology holds promise in various fields such as optics, photonics, biology, and nanomedicine. It is also being used in the renewable …

Background: Malnutrition and sarcopenia impact the physical health and quality of life of community-dwelling older adults. Managing these conditions requires integrating nutritional and exercise interventions delivered by professionals from diverse backgrounds. Interprofessional collaboration holds promise …

This viewpoint article explores the potential of multistakeholder participatory scenario planning (PSP) as a tool to foster a sustainable visitor economy in underprivileged neighbourhoods. Feijenoord, a district in Rotterdam, is such an area. While the visitor economy offers economic benefits, it can …

For the future circular economy, renewable carbon feedstocks manifest considerable promise for synthesizing sustainable and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). In this study, 16 wt% and 30 wt% PHA (cell dry weight) are respectively produced by thermophilic Caldimonas thermodepolymerans from beechwood …

REducing Delay through edUcation on eXacerbations (REDUX) shows promise in reducing exacerbation recognition and action delays for chronic lung diseases in the Netherlands. However, factors influencing its successful implementation in China remain unclear. To identify the perceived factors influencing …
