Aim(s): To understand how nurses experience their positioning amidst hospital crises. Background: Nursing leadership literature is predominantly focused on the skills and competencies of nurses and less on the relations in practice with nurses. Nurses are often valued for bedside care but are overlooked …

This perspective reflects on conservation efforts to increase the coverage of marine protected areas in Solomon Islands. We demonstrate that the current model in which international conservation NGOs provide technical and financial support to pilot projects, from which community-based resource management …

Entrepreneurial ecosystems, and the actors within, are a core factor in fostering entrepreneurial activity in regions (Brush et al., 2019). Business networks are one of the entrepreneurial ecosystems element and key in socially embedding entrepreneurs. The extent to which an entrepreneur is embedded …

Post-earthquake structural damage shows that out-of-plane (OOP) wall collapse is one of the most common failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. This issue is particularly critical in Groningen, a province located in the northern part of the Netherlands, where low-intensity induced …

The seismic assessment of the out-of-plane (OOP) behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is essential since the OOP is one of the primary collapse mechanisms in URM buildings. It is influenced by several parameters, including the poor connections between structural elements, a weakness highlighted …

Sound Soils is a practice-oriented research initiative aimed at exploring opportunities for musicians to contribute to rural life in the Northern Netherlands, with a specific emphasis on participatory music practices. Grounded in Participatory Action Research methodology and ethnographic forms of data …

The development of the capabilities necessary to foster global citizenship in undergraduate university students is an important goal of many higher education institutions. We assess the impact of intercultural virtual collaboration (IVC) courses on the three key competencies of students—collaborative …

Consistency issues limit the sharing of horticultural data across multiple systems, resulting in challenges for users to analyze data effectively across various systems utilizing artificial intelligence technology. Introducing data governance principles can help standardize and unify data practices, …

The infrastructure we build is increasingly complicated and automated. After it is designed and constructed, it needs to be maintained and updated to sustain its functioning for far longer than the careers of its designers and builders. Continuity of engineering knowledge is necessary to make future …

''This paper aims to analyze the behavior of experimentally tested unreinforced masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading. Monotonic load analyses are conducted using FEM and AEM modeling approaches. The models presented here are based on the assumption of both unit and mortar joints modeled as solid …
