Conventional centralised sewerage systems are increasingly challenged by climate change, population growth and sustainability goals. Decentralised wastewater treatment systems (DWTS) offer an alternative by reducing hydraulic loads, enabling local reuse and supporting resource recovery. This study analyses …

Urbanisation and climate change increase the need for quantitative insight into the contribution of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate adaptation. While NbS are widely implemented at local scales, their aggregated contribution to regional and national adaptation ambitions remains largely unknown. …

BACKGROUND: The growing aging population and staff shortages are placing pressure on Dutch nursing homes (NHs). These challenges have led to an increased interest in digital health technologies. Among these are wearable devices that allow for remote continuous monitoring of vital signs. An example is …

BACKGROUND:  Digitalization in geriatric rehabilitation presents unique challenges, making it essential to align eHealth solutions with patients' digital skills. The Quickscan Digital Skills (QDS) is a tool designed to help healthcare professionals match eHealth interventions to individual skill levels. …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of the Occupational Therapy at Home E-Rehabilitation (OTHER) intervention for persons post-stroke (age > 55) transitioning to home. METHODS: A mixed-methods feasibility study was conducted. Qualitative data included semi-structured interviews with persons post-stroke …

OBJECTIVE: Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) is an essential component of transitional care. However, insight into longitudinal care use and related costs is limited. This study mapped GR trajectories over a six-month period, identified latent groups with similar cost patterns and examined patient-level …

Voormalige landbouwgronden die worden omgevormd tot voedselbossen krijgen vaak te maken met uiteenlopende uitdagingen, waarvan bodemverdichting een van de meest voorkomende is. Deze verdichting is veelal het gevolg van begrazing of langdurig gebruik van zware landbouwmachines, waardoor de bodem onder …

Background The increasing demands of an aging population, healthcare workforce shortages, financial constraints, and a shift in care perspectives call for rethinking geriatric rehabilitation (GR). To ensure GR remains sustainable, a transition towards home-based GR is proposed, reducing the need for …

Deze scriptie onderzoekt hoe schaduw van vaste zonnepanelen de productiviteit en kwaliteit van een perennial-ryegrass/white-clover grasland beïnvloedt. Op een proefperceel van Massey University (Palmerston North, Nieuw-Zeeland) werden vier zones vergeleken: onder de panelen, tussen panelen, aan de uiteinden …

Abstract Background There is a shift from inpatient to home-based geriatric rehabilitation (HBGR), and potential benefits are demonstrated. Previously, a theoretical HBGR model, version 1.0, has been developed, outlining its essential components. However, clear guidance on the practical design and organisation …
