Strukton Rail wants to try new training methods for their employees by creating a virtual reality simulation where the workers can practice in a safe environment. Strukton employees have to do maintenance work in heights in the rail track. Besides the risks related to the actual job of working in heights, …

Sustainability has become an important blueprint to achieve a better future for all, and as part of this process, nations are called to accelerate an energy transition towards clean energy solutions. However, an often-neglected pillar is educating individuals on the benefits and challenges of energy …

A final research product for the International Teacher Education Course at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, this is an investigation into the Assessment for Learning (AfL) practices of a small international school in southern Germany as well as possibilities to support AfL and student agency …

This is a review of the literature on community energy. We analyze more than 250 studies that appeared in the academic literature in the period 1997-2018. We investigate the timing regarding the appearance of these studies, the geographical orientation of the research, and the journals in which the articles …

Background: Clinical reasoning skills are considered to be among the key competencies a physiotherapist should possess. Yet, we know little about how physiotherapy students actually learn these skills in the workplace. A better understanding will benefit physiotherapy education. Objectives: To explore …

In this paper we investigate laypersons’ valuation of historic buildings, their experiences of thermal comfort in those buildings and contrast this with their views on the appropriateness of energy efficiency measures. This paper presents four case studies of medieval churches in Groningen, Netherlands. …

The biomass demand for the use as both renewable energy source and raw material for the biotechnology industry is increasing. Simultaneously, the supply of biomass is requested to become more costcompetitive. Innovative solutions for cost-effective biomass production should also avoid indirect land use …

As part of the growing interest in cities to address persistent sustainability issues in society, ‘smart cities’ have increasingly become a ubiquitous phenomenon globally. For multinational enterprises (MNEs), this has provided opportunities to develop and market technological innovations to facilitate …

New technologies or approaches are being widely developed and proposed to be deployed in real energy systems to improve desired objectives; however, supporting decision making processes to select best solutions in terms of performance and efficiently following cost-benefit analysis require some sort …

We introduce two novel methods for multivariate genome-wide-association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of related traits that correct for sample overlap. A broad range of simulation scenarios supports the added value of our multivariate methods relative to univariate GWAMA. We applied the novel methods to life …
