Resolutions of certain toroidal orbifolds, like T6/Z2xZ2, are far from unique, due to triangulation dependence of their resolved local singularities. This leads to an explosion of the number of topologically distinct smooth geometries associated to a single orbifold. By introducing a parameterisation …

In this empirical study, the one-day project Robot Love Design-a-thon was designed for an interdisciplinary group of preservice teachers (in arts, sciences, and primary education), and evaluated through observations and learner reports. An analysis of the observations and the learner reports showed that …

Living labs are complex multi-stakeholder collaborations that often employ a user centred and design-driven methodology to foster innovation. Conventional management tools fall short in evaluating them. However, some methods and tools dedicated to living labs' special characteristics and goals have already …

Problem-solving tasks form an important part of (higher education) curricula, especially in STEM-domains. For learners with little or no prior knowledge (novices), an effective way to learn new problem-solving tasks is by studying examples. These can be written out step-by-step solution procedures of …

Purpose: This study examined how the catering business quickly responded and recovered from the threats caused by COVID-19 with the use of social media in Beijing, China.

There is a need for effective methods to teach critical thinking (CT). One instructional method that seems promising is comparing correct and erroneous worked examples (i.e., contrasting examples). The aim of the present study, therefore, was to investigate the effect of contrasting examples on learning …

Over the period of this project, a lot of time was spent on refactoring and combining the code of different teams that have worked on it, mostly changing REST API to adhere to the best web development practices. Another big part of the project was developing an import system where club trainers can import …

The Borculo Storm Project aims to create a realistic VR experience of a storm disaster. The Storm hit the Netherlands in 1925. The project also aims to raise awareness of natural disasters and climate change. It is supposed to be an exhibit of a future weather museum. Previously, the project has been …

During the graduation period, I have worked with Leiden University Medical Center on bringing to reality the first steps to creating a complementary training tool for their residents. As a result, together with an IMT&S team, we designed and created a demo application which simulates a kidney transplant …

Strengthening sustainability in global supply chains requires producers, buyers, and nonprofit organizations to collaborate in transformative cross-sector partnerships (CSPs). However, the role played by nature in such partnerships has been left largely unattended in literature on CSPs. This article …
