Conventional centralised sewerage systems are increasingly challenged by climate change, population growth and sustainability goals. Decentralised wastewater treatment systems (DWTS) offer an alternative by reducing hydraulic loads, enabling local reuse and supporting resource recovery. This study analyses …

Background/Objectives: Digital technologies and data-driven approaches are rapidly transforming healthcare practice and enabling more personalized and preventive care. As personal health data becomes increasingly embedded in healthcare systems, understanding how future healthcare professionals interpret …

Innovation in textile production and usage is gaining momentum, driven by both the urgent need for sustainable solutions and rising technological maturity of embedded functionalities in textiles. Traditional linear models of production and consumption are increasingly being replaced by product-service …

Technieken op het gebied van machine learning (ML) worden op grote schaal toegepast in de gezondheidszorg, variërend van precisiegeneeskunde tot de mogelijkheid van preventieve zorg. Een algemeen probleem bij klinische studies is de combinatie van hoge dimensionaliteit en kleine steekproefomvang, wat …

Smartphones and smartwatches are ever-present in daily life, and provide a rich source of information on their users' behaviour. In particular, digital traces derived from the phone's embedded movement sensors present an opportunity for a forensic investigator to gain insight into a person's physical …

Recent debates in rural development suggest a growing interest in integrating landscape-based knowledge into participatory decision-making. This study contributes to this discussion by examining how landscape—understood as the interplay between human actions, natural processes, and soil systems—can be …

Indoor service robots need perception that is robust, more privacy-friendly than RGB video, and feasible on embedded hardware. We present a camera-free 2D LiDAR object detection pipeline that encodes short-term temporal context by stacking three consecutive scans as RGB channels, yielding a compact YOLOv8n …

The approach to homelessness in the Netherlands is currently undergoing a paradigm shift, moving away from shelter-based systems toward direct and unconditional housing, as articulated in the National Action Plan on Homelessness Eerst een Thuis. However, the regular housing supply often fails to meet …

The use and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our society is growing rapidly (Maslej 2025). Alongside this growth, the importance of specific ‘competencies’ that users need to effectively interact with and critically evaluate AI is becoming increasingly important (Long en Magerko 2020). This …

Research and innovation have long been dominated by models and epistemologies rooted in global North institutions, privileging formalised knowledge systems over lived experience and embedded wisdom. In response, we conceptualise the Inclusive Research Commons (IRC), a transdisciplinary and practice-based …
