Background Dropout in later years of the nursing degree programme involves lost investment and is a particular problem for both students and educators. Reasons for late dropout seem to be related to the work and learning environment of the clinical placement. Objectives The aim of this study was to …

Abstract: Entering a building is a ‘moment of truth’ and may invoke feelings of hospitableness. Physical environments and staff behaviour deliver ‘clues’ that may result in the experience of hos- pitality. The focus in a reception area may be on mitigation of risks, or on a hospitable atmosphere, with …

This research is focusing on the sedentary behaviour in the work environment, which is linked to a higher risk on chronic diseases, especially for long periods of sitting of 30 minutes or more. Of all European countries, the sedentary behaviour of Dutch people is on average the highest, which highlights …

Background: Marital status is associated with prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the influence of partners on successful modification of lifestyle-related risk factors (LRFs) in secondary CVD prevention is unclear. Therefore, we studied the association between the presence …

Early detection of radicalization processes that may lead to violent extremism takes place in a grey area.

Who gets the protective equipment, ventilators or food vouchers? Is combatting loneliness worth the risk of spreading …

Dynamic stall phenomena carry the risk of negative damping and instability in wind turbine blades. It is crucial to model these phenomena accurately to reduce inaccuracies in predicting design driving (fatigue and extreme) loads. Some of the inaccuracies in current dynamic stall models may be due to …
