Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may be used to assess fat free mass (FFM) with reasonable validity based on mean-level comparisons, but differences between BIA and DXA may vary by about 4 kg in an individual patient. These results require confirmation in a larger sample of HNC (Head and neck cancer) …

Purpose To investigate the course of quality of life (QoL) among prostate cancer patients treated with external beam radiotherapy and to compare the results with QoL of a normal age-matched reference population. Conclusion Prostate cancer patients experience a small worsening of QoL as compared with …

In dit afstudeeronderzoek is onderzocht of de waterkering langs de Hoge Boezem van de Overwaard voldoet aan de eisen voor stabiliteit. Tevens is een verbetering ontworpen en is onderzocht wat de invloed is van de kadeverbetering op de molens met een hoge cultuurhistorische waarde. Voorafgaand aan het …

The Saxion University of Applied Sciences recently started its “Safety at Work” project. Its objective is to increase safety in the workplace by combining and applying state-of-the-art factors from Ambient Intelligence, Industrial & Product Design and Smart Materials [1].The human factor plays a significant …

PURPOSE: Advanced radiotherapy treatments require appropriate quality assurance (QA) to verify 3D dose distributions. Moreover, increase in patient numbers demand efficient QA-methods. In this study, a time efficient method that combines model-based QA and measurement-based QA was developed; i.e., the …

In this document, we provide the methodological background for the Safety atWork project. This document combines several project deliverables as defined inthe overall project plan: validation techniques and methods (D5.1.1), performanceindicators for safety at work (D5.1.2), personal protection equipment …

The Saxion University of Applied Sciences has recently started the project “Safety at Work”.
