Addressing the challenges of road construction in high-temperature regions, this research focuses on the technical and economic comparison between traditional asphalt pavement and recycled plastic asphalt pavement. The overarching research question is: “Technical and economical comparison of traditional …

This research is focused on the circumstances related to rainwater flooding in the Municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul, located in the south of the Netherlands. The town has been dealing with flooding from rainwater for as long as its inhabitants can remember, but the situation became much more severe …

Many coastal communities worldwide are facing challenges caused by increasing sea levels. However, urban development, population growth and industrialisation in low-lying delta regions persist. This includes the Netherlands and British Columbia, Canada. Both regions explore new and innovative flood risk …

Deze bachelor scriptie is geschreven voor het afstudeeronderzoek dat deel uit maakt van de opleiding archeologie aan Hogeschool Saxion te Deventer. De auteur van deze scriptie is Hugo Pothof. Het doel van dit onderzoek was het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe methode voor het herkennen van afwijkende graven. …

Increased protein provision might ameliorate muscle wasting and improve long-term outcomes in critically ill patients. The aim of the PRECISe trial was to assess whether higher enteral protein provision (ie, 2·0 g/kg per day) would improve health-related quality of life and functional outcomes in critically …

Previous research largely supports the notion that mediated contact and engagement with minority characters can improve viewers’ real-life minority attitudes. However, it is unclear to what extent different forms of media engagement such as parasocial friendship and wishful identification are linked …

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 …

Introduction: Early Warning Score (EWS) protocols are based on intermittent vital sign measurements, and aim to detect clinical deterioration in a timely manner. Despite its predictive value, its effectiveness remains suboptimal. An important limitation appears to be poor compliance with the EWS protocol …

Urban nature-based solutions (NBSs) are widely implemented to collect, store, and infiltrate stormwater. This study addressed infiltration rate as a measure of the performance of bioretention solutions. Quick scan research was conducted, starting with mapping over 25 locations of implemented green infrastructure …

Restoration engineering measures, such as managed realignments or building groins, modify the environmental characteristics of coastal intertidal ecosystems. Creating physical modifications that are beneficial to an intertidal system's ecology necessitates an in-depth understanding of the relationships …
