Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a powerful tool for simulating building users’ dynamic behavior in demand response (DR) programs. However, ABM faces several challenges, particularly in encoding building users’ natural language features and common sense into rules or mathematical equations. To overcome …

Onderwijs en onderzoek lopen niet altijd soepel samen; we hebben het vaak over 'de kloof'. Toch zijn er steeds meer plekken waar onderwijs en onderzoek elkaar versterken en grenspraktijken vormen. Het lectoraat Grenspraktijken van opleiders en onderzoekers heeft de afgelopen tien jaar dit soort samenwerkingen …

De voedselomgeving in Nederland wordt steeds ongezonder. Om beleidskeuzes te kunnen maken over het voedselaanbod in een bepaalde wijk, is het van belang de huidige staat van de voedselomgeving nauwkeurig in kaart te brengen. In dit onderzoek is het voedselaanbod (alle aangeboden producten) van een straat …

Within Human Activity Recognition (HAR), there is an insurmountable gap between the range of activities performed in life and those that can be captured in an annotated sensor dataset used in training. Failure to properly handle unseen activities seriously undermines any HAR classifier's reliability. …

Pain following burn injuries can be severe and may persist after hospital discharge. The experience of pain is influenced by multiple biological and psychosocial factors. Post-discharge pain may be related to pain experienced during hospitalization as well as anxiety associated with these pain experiences. …

BACKGROUND: Prevention programs can encourage parents to take safety measures to prevent burn injury in children under 5 years of age. The PRECEDE-PROCEED model of Green and Kreuter is a frequently used tool for stepwise development of effective prevention programs. In a previous study the first 2 phases …

This study performs a systematic content analysis to map out the landscape of eighty-seven ethical tools concerning the type of ethical principles addressed, the approach promoted (technological vs. socio-technical vs. societal), and the kind of assessment endorsed (self-assessment versus assessment …

Context: Rapid developments and adoption of machine learning-based software solutions have enabled novel ways to tackle our societal problems. The ongoing digital transformation has led to the incorporation of these software solutions in just about every application domain. Software architecture for …

Politieke partijen erkennen dat ongelijkheid de gezondheid beïnvloedt. Toch ontbreekt volgens onderzoeker Marloes Kleinjan vaak de ambitie om die zogeheten 'gezondheidskloof' te dichten.
