Forensic reports use various types of conclusions, such as a categorical (CAT) conclusion or a likelihood ratio (LR). In order to correctly assess the evidence, users of forensic reports need to understand the conclusion and its evidential strength. The aim of this paper is to study the interpretation …

The goal of this research was to set up suitable laboratory tests and analysis methods for the strength and durability testing of bio-based textile reinforced concrete. This thesis was a preparatory research for the actual development of bio-based TRC applications, which was not undertaken due to unforeseen …

We tested the hypothesis that in human ageing, a decreased intramuscular acylcarnitine status is associated with (pre-)frailty, reduced physical performance, and altered mitochondrial function. Frailty was assessed according to the Fried criteria and physical performance was determined by 400 m walk …

This research’s primary goal is to explore the current marketing communication strategy of The Hague Summer School at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and to answer the main question, which is - “How can the Hague Summer School at the Hague University of Applied Sciences attract more partner …

Uit onderzoek van het Expertisecentrum Mensenhandel en (jeugd)Prostitutie is naar voren gekomen dat zeker 58 jongens uit Eindhoven en omstreken minderjarig waren toen ze startten in de wereld van prostitutie. Het House of Inner Strength wil deze doelgroep, naast de meerderjarige mannelijke sekswerkers, …

BACKGROUND: A limited number of patients return to sport (RTS) after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and patients who RTS have a relatively high risk for second ACL injury. The purpose of the current study was to compare the results of a test battery between patients who returned …

BACKGROUND: Early mobilization has been proven effective for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) to improve functional recovery. However, early mobilization of critically ill, often mechanically ventilated, patients is cumbersome because of the attachment to tubes, drains, monitoring devices and …

Background: Survivors of lymphoma experience multiple challenges after treatment. However, a lack of knowledge of in-depth experiences of lymphoma survivors in early aftercare persists. Objective: To gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of lymphoma survivors in early aftercare who have received …

Purpose: Exercise therapy with a focus on muscle strengthening has proven to be effective for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Yet it is not known whether high-intensity resistance training (RT) is more effective in improving upper leg muscle strength and physical performance than low-intensity …

Currently the advances in the field of 3D printing are causing a revolution in the (bio-)medical field. With applications ranging from patient-specific anatomical models for surgical preparation to prosthetic limbs and even scaffolds for tissue engineering, the possibilities seem endless. Today, the …
