Drought, caused by climate change, poses a significant threat to the production of barley. To ensure high yields, drought adaptation in barley is critical. Roots are primarily responsible for water uptake, and during drought, when water levels are low, deep rooting traits are crucial for developing drought-tolerant …

In recent years, the deterioration of urban rivers, due to human activity, has been receiving increasing attention. Canalized rivers are being restored or rehabilitated to restore wildlife and bring back a more natural ecosystem. This shift in the way how we look at our rivers has also resulted in the …

Introductie: Laagopgeleide cliënten zijn zowel voor als na het bezoek aan een fysiotherapeut angstiger dan hoogopgeleide cliënten. Een belangrijke factor die positieve of negatieve invloed kan uitoefenen is verbale communicatie door middel van het placebo- en nocebo-mechanisme. Uit literatuur blijkt …

Since the Industrial Revolution, human activity has reinforced climate change to alarming rates and has introduced new stressors such as plastic pollution to the environment. Currently, 4.8 - 12.7 million tons of plastic litters enter the oceans every year. Globally alternatives to replace synthetic-based …
