BACKGROUND: Acute admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) can negatively affect quality of life for patients and their relatives. Relatives play an important caregiving role after the patient's admission. More knowledge and understanding of their needs are necessary as the patient transitions home. …

The recent advancements in machine learning (ML) techniques have significantly improved the performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, particularly in deep learning with the transformer architecture. Despite their promising applications in different domains, these innovations have …

Na inventarisatie van knelpunten hebben onderzoekers van drie hogescholen twee tools ontwikkeldom zulke uitdagingen op te lossen. Presentatie van een tool die mkb-accountants kan helpen stappen …

Beweren dat de zorgsector kampt met personeelstekorten is een open deur intrappen. Oorzaken van deze tekorten, bijvoorbeeld ondermaatse verloning/waardering van zorgpersoneel, impact van weekendwerk op het sociale leven van het personeel, … zijn voorbeelden waaraan het onderwijs weinig kan veranderen. …

In their developmental model, Stodden et al. (2008) propose age- dependent relations between motor competence, physical activity, perceived motor competence, physical fitness, and weight status that can lead to a spiral of (dis)engagement. The goal of this study was to explore these relations in a large …

Computers are promising tools for providing educational experiences that meet individual learning needs. However, delivering this promise in practice is challenging, particularly when automated feedback is essential and the learning extends beyond using traditional methods such as writing and solving …

The use of machine learning in embedded systems is an interesting topic, especially with the growth in popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT). The capacity of a system, such as a robot, to self-localize, is a fundamental skill for its navigation and decision-making processes. This work focuses on …

Nowadays, one of the major current health risks is excessive sitting during work hours. Furthermore, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the corresponding government state of emergency forced many people to work from home. These constraints carried out an important change in the lifestyle …

BACKGROUND: Mobility is a key determinant and outcome of healthy ageing but its definition, conceptual framework and underlying constructs within the physical domain may need clarification for data comparison and sharing in ageing research. This study aimed to (1) review definitions and conceptual frameworks …

Aims Genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by mutations in sarcomere protein-encoding genes (i.e. genotype-positive HCM). In an increasing number of patients, HCM occurs in the absence of a mutation (i.e. genotype-negative HCM). Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to be a key driver of …
