Semen traces are considered important pieces of evidence in forensic investigations, especially those involving sexsual offenses. Recently, our research group developed a fluorescence-based technique to accurately determine the age of semen traces. However, the specific compounds resonsible for the fluoresescent …

Knowledge of the time of deposition is pivotal in forensic investigations. Recent studies show that changes in intrinsic fluorescence over time can be used to estimate the age of body fluids. These changes have been attributed to oxidative modifications caused by protein–lipid interactions. This pilot …

This study investigates research collaboration outcomes for all Dutch UMCs and non-academic hospitals in general and, more specifically, for the domains in the non-academic hospitals participating in the TopCare program. Additionally, it explores the organizational boundary work employed by these hospitals …

Children with Marfan (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) report limitations in physical activities, sports, school, leisure, and work participation in daily life. This observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study explores associations between physical fitness and cardiovascular parameters, systemic …

Antenne Nederland 2022-2023 schetst een actueel beeld van risicojongeren en hun middelengebruik, verteld door (ambulant) jongeren- en straathoekwerkers. Vanaf de frontlinies van het sociale domein vertellen ze over de huidige leefwerelden van minderjarige jongeren en jongvolwassenen in vinexwijken en …

Conclusions: This pilot feasibility study showed that combining ACT and PP in a digital health intervention is promising for patients undergoing spinal surgery as the content was accepted by most of the participants and (larger) improvements in pain intensity and well-being were observed in the intervention …

(1) Background: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) is associated with severe toxicity resulting in fatigue and weight loss, including loss of skeletal muscle mass. Exercise interventions might positively affect physical fitness and quality of life. Sufficient adherence and compliance …

Detection and identification of body fluids are crucial aspects of forensic investigations, aiding in crime scene reconstructions and providing important leads. Although many methods have been developed for these purposes, no method is currently in use in the forensic field that allows rapid, non-contact …

In juni 2024 berichtte de NOS over een relatief nieuwe vorm van pesten onder jongeren: het maken en verspreiden van zogenoemde ‘vernedervideo’s’. Slachtoffers worden hierin gedwongen tot vernederende handelingen, zoals excuses maken op hun knieën of hun kleren uittrekken, wat vaak gepaard gaat met geweld. …

In Antenne Amsterdam wordt sinds 1993 jaarlijks het middelengebruik bij jongeren en jongvolwassenen in de hoofdstad in kaart gebracht. Dit gebeurt op basis van een combinatie van kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve methoden. In 2023 verzamelden we informatie via (1) interviews met een 26-koppig uitgaanspanel …
