In 2016, a selective preventive spinal immobilization protocol for emergency medical service (EMS) nurses was introduced in the Netherlands. This protocol leaves more room for autonomous decision-making in the pre-hospital phase regarding preventive spinal immobilization (PSI), compared to the previous …

This planned sub-study was part of a prospective intervention study in patients on hemodialysis with a high serum phosphate concentration and high PBM pill burden. Functional, communicative, and critical medication-related HL were assessed using the Recognizing and Addressing Limited Pharmaceutical Literacy …

Communicative participation is the most important outcome of speech and language therapy, but there are no measurement instruments for children, adolescents, and young adults. This paper describes the development of MyCommunication-Youth: an item bank to measure self-reported communicative participation …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a widely used method for evaluating demand response (DR) strategies. To comprehensively assess the impact of DR strategies on a district cooling system, the integration of building managers’ DR behavior is essential. However, most ABM studies focus on technical optimization …

De Smart Industry dankt haar benaming aan de slimme techniek die zij implementeert en benut. Maar wat doet nieuwe techniek met het werk van medewerkers, zowel inhoudelijk alsook mentaal? In dit impactinterview zet een aantal praktisch ingestelde wetenschappers hun inzichten en handvatten op een rij. …

Introduction: Nursing education traditionally teaches skill acquisition in isolated practice drills and guided by step-by-step protocols. While these approaches may seem to provide a solid foundation, they do not adequately bridge the gap between a controlled learning environment and the reality of nursing …

The current scale of energy generation stands in marked contrast to its management. Wind turbines operate only when both wind conditions and energy demand are sufficient. In cases where wind is available but demand is lacking, the turbines remain idle. This study demonstrates that a transition to a continuous …

This article discusses the development of simulation models in the energy education of tomorrow, in order to gain deeper insight into the functioning of technical installations. The related research focuses on designing a method to simulate complex hydraulic systems and to incorporate these simulations …

In the current context, university education is increasingly defined by the acquisition of skills. New mechanisms and types of learning are constantly emerging that aim to form skills defined as integrated acquisitions. Digital tools applied in the implementation of energy projects are not just essential …
