The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

While prominently highlighted in the National Plan Energy of the Netherlands government (2022), green hydrogen has been facing obstacles in terms of scaling up in energy markets and thus fulfilling expectations. An important reason is that production of green hydrogen has remained relatively costly, …

Background Communicative participation is the most important outcome of speech and language therapy. However, there are no instruments to measure communicative participation in children. This paper focuses on assessing the psychometric properties of MyCommunication-Children, an item bank designed to …

This inaugural volume, Breaking Barriers: Accelerating Transitions, brings together papers and abstracts presented at the Conference on Energy, Livestock, and Mobility Transitions, part of the New Energy Forum in Groningen. The publication reflects both the rapid development of the energy transition …

Green hydrogen is increasingly positioned as an important element of Europe's energy transition, particularly for decarbonising sectors that are difficult to electrify directly and for integrating growing shares of renewable electricity. Yet regional hydrogen ecosystems often remain fragmented and immature. …

Objectives Compassion-based interventions, like Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living (MBCL), are increasingly recognized as treatments for depression. This study explores the impact of MBCL on self-schemas. Methods As part of an RCT on MBCL for depression, self-description interviews of approximately …

Mijn dochter Anna was vier jaar toen we aanschoven bij haar eerste oudergesprek op de basisschool. Als kersverse ouders waren we nieuwsgierig. Hoe deed ze het? Had ze vriendjes gemaakt? Voelde ze zich veilig? Ging ze met plezier naar school? Vol verwachting namen we plaats tegenover de juf. Van dat gesprek …

Building energy performance is largely determined during the early conceptual design stages. However, energy evaluation is often postponed until after key architectural decisions—such as massing and façade configuration—have been finalized, limiting opportunities for meaningful optimization. This study …

Small wind turbines face significant challenges in achieving commercial viability due to lower efficiency and higher energy costs compared to utility-scale systems and competing renewable technologies. Counter-rotating dual-rotor wind turbines (CR-DRWTs) with dual-rotational armature configurations offer …

In dit hoofdstuk verkennen we regionale verschillen in leven lang ontwikkelen. We stellen ons de vraag of regionale verschillen in LLO in Nederland voorkomen en zo ja, hoe deze verschillen zijn te verklaren.
