OBJECTIVES: Assessment of malnutrition-related muscle depletion with computed tomography (CT) using skeletal muscle index (SMI) and muscle radiation attenuation (MRA) at the third lumbar vertebra is well validated. However, SMI and MRA values at other vertebral locations and interchangeability as parameters …

Frailty is a common but complex phenomenon that is approached from theoretical and professional perspectives but rarely from the perspectives of older people and their essential stakeholders. Different or opposing perspectives on frailty at personal, organisational, and community levels can negatively …

We present an industry use case in which we discuss the practical use of a formal list of definitions. The list of definitions will be used as a basis for a knowledge graph that will serve knowledge panels when interacting with information in the company and that will help improve question answering …

In this abstract we describe a computational approach for detecting discursive patterns in social media. Newsrooms of municipalities and public organizations such as the police follow public debate on social media to be aware of and prepare for local and global issues and rumors. The onset of these issues …

This thesis researches the values threatened due to data and AI development and application in the Netherlands. This is related to what should be written in an oath for the Dutch data professional to promote these values and lower the threat to these values. Following the Design Science Methodology and …

This PA project, part of the WUNDER initiative, examined the technical and visualization requirements of the WUNDER drought monitoring system for end-users, specifically farmers. Using the STEMMUS-SCOPE model, the system aims to identify the best strategies for managing and adapting agriculture and nature …

Product service systems (PSS) are an example of a novel business model billed as having the potential to significantly reduce the environmental burdens of production and consumption processes. However, despite widespread interest in PSS, consensus regarding their actual environmental impacts, particularly …

In mobile robotics, LASER scanners have a wide spectrum of indoor and outdoor applications, both in structured and unstructured environments, due to their accuracy and precision. Most works that use this sensor have their own data representation and their own case-specific modeling strategies, and no …

Smart glasses have the potential to transform healthcare, but their acceptance and use are under pressure due to concerns about social interaction around smart glasses, such as privacy, intended use, and the social isolation of the user. However, the value is seen in healthcare, where they could potentially …

In this research, acrylate crosslinked PEG-b-PS polymersomes were synthesized and extensively tested. Polymersomes are nanovesicles that are self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers. Like liposomes, they can contain aqueous solutions in the core, which makes them interesting in the field of nanomedicine. …
