This study proposes a novel loss function for neural network models that explores the topological structure of stock realized volatility (RV) data by adding Wasserstein Distance (WD). The study shows that the proposed loss statistically significantly improves the forecast accuracy of neural network models …

Post-war urban neighbourhoods in industrialised countries have been shown to negatively affect the lifestyles of their residents due to their design. This study aims at developing an empirical procedure to select locations to be redesigned and the determinants of health at stake in these locations, with …

In deze kleinschalige studie is onderzocht hoe ontwikkelde ontwerpprincipes van sQuare toegepast kunnen worden in de module Praktijkstage Onderwijs van de Opleiding Theaterdocent, en hoe deze ervaren worden door derdejaarsstudenten, leerkrachten uit het primair onderwijs (groepsleerkrachten) en AHKdocenten …

With this contribution, the results of the measurement campaign performed with a synchronously distributed antenna array testbed operating at the center frequency of 3.686 GHz are presented. For the first time, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the electric field distribution indu ced by coherent …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) allow for measurements of kinematic movements outside the laboratory, persevering the athlete-environment relationship. To use IMUs in a sport-specific setting, it is necessary to validate sport-specific movements. The aim of this study was to assess the concurrent validity …

In this paper, artificial intelligence tools are implemented in order to predict trajectory positions, as well as channel performance of an optical wireless communications link. Case studies for industrial scenarios are considered to this aim. In a first stage, system parameters are optimized using a …

Sterke buikspieren spelen een cruciale rol bij rompstabilisatie en het verminderen van lumbale stress, wat essentieel is voor sportprestaties en blessurepreventie. Bovendien is gesuggereerd dat asymmetrie in spieromvang van de rectus abdominis blessurerisico kan vergroten. Het verminderen van deze asymmetrie …

AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a more 'community-oriented' baccalaureate nursing curriculum on students' intervention choice in community care. BACKGROUND: Following a healthcare shift with increased chronic diseases in an ageing patient population receiving care at home, …

This study employed an exploratory approach by applying practice theory to insights gathered through the triangulation of interview, document analysis and observation methodologies to 1) map the Sacred Harp Singing practice scope and give a nuanced picture of its performativity in the Netherlands, with …
