Adapting mentoring to individual differences in novice teacher learning: the mentor's viewpoint 2016, Article / Letter to editor (Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, vol. 22, iss. 2, (2016), pp. 198-218)Being adaptive to the individual novice teacher is considered a condition for effective teacher mentoring. The aims of this study are therefore to explore (1) mentoring activities through which mentors intend to adapt to the individual novice teacher and (2) characteristics of adaptive mentors. Information was collected through on-site, post-mentoring conversation interviews with 18 mentors holding different mentoring conceptions, from different programs for Initial Teacher Education in the Netherlands. Four adaptive mentoring activities were identified: (1) aligning mutual expectations about the mentoring process, (2) attuning to the novices' emotional state, (3) adapting the mentoring conversation to match the reflective capacity of the novice teacher, and (4) building tasks from simple to complex relative to the novices' competence level. Adaptive mentors were (1) more likely to mention activities intended to support construction of personal practical knowledge and (2) less likely to mention activities intended to create a favourable context for novice teacher learning. Suggestions for using findings to enhance mentor adaptiveness are discussed. -
Adherence to guidelines and protocols in the prehospital and emergency department setting : A systematic review 2011, Article / Letter to editor (Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, vol. 21, iss. 9, (2011))A gap between guidelines or protocols and clinical practice often exists, which may result in patients not receiving appropriate care. Therefore, the objectives of this systematic review were (1) to give an overview of professionals’ adherence to (inter)national guidelines and protocols in the emergency medical dispatch, prehospital and emergency department (ED) settings, and (2) to explore which factors influencing adherence were described in studies reporting on adherence. PubMed (including MEDLINE), CINAHL, EMBASE and the Cochrane database for systematic reviews were systematically searched. Reference lists of included studies were also searched for eligible studies. Identified articles were screened on title, abstract and year of publication (=1990) and were included when reporting on adherence in the eligible settings. Following the initial selection, articles were screened full text and included if they concerned adherence to a (inter)national guideline or protocol, and if the time interval between data collection and publication date was <10 years. Finally, articles were assessed on reporting quality. Each step was undertaken by two independent researchers. Thirty-five articles met the criteria, none of these addressed the emergency medical dispatch setting or protocols. Median adherence ranged from 7.8-95% in the prehospital setting, and from 0-98% in the ED setting. In the prehospital setting, recommendations on monitoring came with higher median adherence percentages than treatment recommendations. For both settings, cardiology treatment recommendations came with relatively low median adherence percentages. Eight studies identified patient and organisational factors influencing adherence. The results showed that professionals’ adherence to (inter)national prehospital and emergency department guidelines shows a wide variation, while adherence in the emergency medical dispatch setting is not reported. As insight in influencing factors for adherence in the emergency care settings is minimal, future research should identify such factors to allow the development of strategies to improve adherence and thus improve quality of care.

Adjustment processes in bridge employment : Where we are and need to go 2014, Part of book or chapter of book (ging Workers and the Employee-Employer Relationship, pp. 221-242)While a relatively large literature outlines adjustment processes for retirees in general, very little empirical and theoretical attention has focused on the psychological adjustment process for bridge employees. That is to say, few studies have attempted to understand the psychological mechanisms that predict adjustment to bridge employment, and there is scant theory to direct such efforts. The present chapter outlines and defines adjustment for bridge employees from life-course, life-span developmental, and self-regulation perspectives. The role of both intrapersonal and external resources and demands on the bridge employment adjustment process are discussed. A model of adjustment to bridge employment is offered that incorporates the idea of contextual resources-demands fit, and suggests a process by which the application of intrapersonal resources is enhanced via an agentic self-efficacy cycle. Finally, future directions for research and are discussed.

AGENCY: THE HIDDEN DIMENSION OF THE SALUTOGENIC MODEL Boonekamp, G.M.M. ; Dierx, A.J. ; Jansen, E.L. ; O'Sullivan, T ; Pérez-Wilson, P ; Lindström, B ; Álvarez-Dardet Díaz, C2021, Article in monograph or in proceedings (proceedings worden niet gepubliceerd)The way in which individuals perceive their quality of life is influenced by the contexts in which they live. Each of them perceives these contexts differently. Moreover, individuals' perception of their possibilities to influence their context and make use of their resources, differs greatly and appears to depend on aspects as individual motives, limiting or stimulating factors, resources, and whether these activities are meaningful to them. These aspects are interrelated within their contexts in complex and fluid ways. To better understand this fluidity we contend that the conceptualization of ?agency' of individuals from the Capabilities Approach, is useful. Agency refers to the conversion of a person's assets into realistic opportunities, allowing him/her to exercise agency by choosing how he/she prefers to function. This conversion process is limited or enhanced by factors in the social, physical and personal environment. This suggests that Salutogenic theory and the Capability Approach (CA) have complementary qualities. Therefore, we propose adding the dimension of ?agency' to the dimensions of SOC in the salutogenic model to better understand and facilitate how individuals experience quality of life.

Aligning corporate real estate with the corporate strategies of higher education institutions 2015, Article / Letter to editor (Facilities, vol. 33, iss. 13/14, (2015), pp. 775-793)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore how corporate real estate (CRE) managers of higher education institutions formulate their CRE strategies and CRE operating decisions to align CRE with the corporate strategies of these institutions. Design/methodology/approach – An analytical alignment framework has been developed, which was used to study the possible and actual connections between CRE management and corporate management at 13 large Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences. The data collection included a content analysis of the strategic plans of these universities and interviews with the CRE managers. Findings – The research findings show several layers of how CRE managers aim to align CRE with corporate goals to add value to the organization. It appears that the CRE strategies in-use are more clearly aligned with the corporate strategies than with the espoused CRE strategies. Practical implications – The paper emphasizes the relevance of involving CRE management in corporate decision-making to contribute to the attainment of the organizational objectives with an efficient and effective accommodation. Originality/value – Substantial changes in learning and teaching practices in higher education lead to evolving corporate strategies, which result in the need for aligned CRE strategies and CRE operating decisions. This paper makes practitioners and researchers aware of the differences between alignment-based espoused CRE strategies and alignment that results from CRE strategies in-use in the field of higher education. The findings and insights might be applicable in other sectors as well.

Alleen maar Winnaars! 2010, Article / Letter to editor (De Lichamelijke Opvoeding, (2010), pp. 49-52)Veel leerlingen associëren sport met competitie, de strijd aangaan en winnen en verliezen. Zeker in 2010 met talloze grote topsportevenementen zoals de Olympische Winterspelen en het WK voetbal staat sport als wedstrijd voor veel mensen voorop en beheersen sportprestaties het nieuws. Als wij met ons vak leerlingen willen voorbereiden op een actieve deelname aan de sport- en beweegcultuur dan is het noodzaak leerlingen met de wedstrijdcultuur in aanraking te laten komen. Hoe dat te bewerkstelligen op een dusdanige wijze dat de ‘verliezers’ niet in het gedrang komen is de insteek van dit artikel.

Alliance in Youth Care 2015, Article / Letter to editor (Dialogue in Praxis, vol. 4 (17), iss. 1-2, (2015), pp. 28-29)This article introduces the concept of alliance in youth care. The concept of (therapeutic) alliance originates in adult psychotherapy and related research. Alliance refers to the working relationship between youth care workers and their clients. Within this concept, personal (emotional) and task related components can be discerned. The body of psychotherapy research suggests that a positive alliance is perhaps the most powerful predictor of a positive outcome of the collaboration between clients and care professionals. The question that arises there from is: does this also hold true for youth care? Firstly, this article provides a brief overview of alliance, based on the research in psychotherapy (where the concept was thoroughly analysed). Secondly the article gives an overview of alliance in youth care, researched by the Research Group for Key Factors in Youth Care. It is presented as a vital factor within the conceptual theoretical frame of the Integrative Change Factors (ICF) model for youth care. The concept of the ICF model is followed by a description of the development of the YCAS, an instrument to measure alliance in youth care. In conclusion the article reflects on goals for future research on the concept of alliance, aimed at assessing its importance for youth care provision and at providing professionals with valid tools to boost and uphold their alliance building and monitoring skills.

Alliantie motiveert lvb-jongere met leerstraf 2013, Article / Letter to editor (Jeugdkennis, (2013))Jongeren met een lichte verstandelijke beperking (lvb) die een delict hebben gepleegd, kunnen als leerstraf een socialevaardigheidstraining opgelegd krijgen. Motivatie is belangrijk voor het succes van zo’n straf, maar over het motiveren van lvb-jongeren is weinig bekend. Uit onderzoek van de William Schrikker Groep blijkt dat volgens de jongeren een goede relatie tussen trainer en jongere, het samen vaststellen van de doelen van de training en betrokkenheid van hun netwerk hun motivatie vergroten.

Ambivalent connections. Improving community mental health care for non-psychotic chronic patients perceived as 'difficult' 2011, Dissertation Depression is a widespread psychiatric disorder, which becomes chronic in 25-30% of cases. When psychiatric and psychological treatments are ineffective, chronic depressive patients are often assigned to long-term care which is mostly provided by mental health nurses. Due to factors strongly associated with chronicity (like dependency, demoralization and hopelessness) long-term care is a difficult undertaking both for patients and mental health nurses. Areas in which major problems occur are interpersonal functioning, treatment compliance and crisis management. In this research proposal, the development and testing of a best practice program for mental health nurses is presented. This program will support mental health nurses in recognizing, analyzing and acting upon problems in the care of chronic depressive patients. Interventions that are effective for these problems are systematically laid out in this best practice program. Both professionals and patients will benefit from this program as it aims to improve long-term care which may subsequently result in reduced costs of this form of care. Depressive disorders are among the most common of all psychiatric diseases (Kessler et al. 2003), resulting in high direct (health care) and indirect (work-related) costs (Stewart et al., 2003). Most depression incidents can be treated effectively with medication, psychotherapy or a combination of both. Unfortunately, in a considerable amount of cases (25-35%) the disease becomes chronic (Spijker Goal: The development and testing of a nursing best practice program consisting of evidence-based mental health nursing interventions for patients with a chronic depression. This project will result in a best practice program that enables mental health nurses to provide evidence-based care for patients with chronic depression. With reference to the problems mentioned above, it will help mental health nurses in recognizing, analyzing and acting upon: 1) patients interpersonal problems This project consists of four distinct phases: 1) inventory, analysis and prioritization of problems in current practice (12 months)

An Agile Way of Working : Chapter 6 Linden, D. van der ; Lacob, M.E. ; Amrit, C. ; Stokkum, W. van ; Wilmont, I. ; Hoppenbrouwers, S.J.B.A.2012, Part of book or chapter of book ()Economies around the globe have evolved into being largely service-oriented economies. Consumers no longer just want a printer or a car, they rather ask for a printing service or a mobility service. In addition, service-oriented organizations increasingly exploit new devices, technologies and infrastructures. Agility is the ability to deal with such changing requirements and environments. Agile ways of working embrace change as a positive force and harness it to the organizations competitive advantage. The approach described in this book focuses on the notion of a service as a piece of functionality that offers value to its customers. Instead of solely looking at agility in the context of system or software development, agility is approached in a broader context. The authors illustrate three kinds of agility that can be found in an agile enterprise: business, process and system agility. These three types of agility reinforce each other and establish the foundation for the agile enterprise. Architecture, patterns, models, and all of the best practices in system development contribute to agile service development and building agile applications. This book addresses two audiences. On the one hand, it aims at agile and architecture practitioners who are looking for more agile ways of working in designing and building business services or who are interested in extending and improving their agile methods by using models and model-based architectures. On the other hand, it addresses students of (enterprise) architecture and software development or service science courses, both in computer science and in business administration.

An Integrated Testing and Model Based Design Approach for Semi-Trailer Weight Reduction : 11th Heavy Vehicle Transport Technology symposium, Melbourne 2010, Article in monograph or in proceedings (11th Heavy Vehicle Transport Technology symposium, Melbourne)The paper discusses the derivation of test data for three tractor-semitrailer combinations, to be used for strength and durability analysis of semi-trailers with the ultimate goal to reduce the semitrailer mass. Mathematical relationships have been used to transfer these data to representative loading data for the semi-trailer, in terms of forces and moments in all directions at the axles and king-pin, being used to optimize weight without compromising the vehicle resistance to fatigue. These activities have been the starting point of a follow-up project FORWARD (Fuel Optimised trailer Referring to Well Assessed Realistic Design loads) including now eleven different trailer manufacturers, and the Dutch Chassis and Body work association FOCWA. FORWARD will extend the previous approach with the objective to lower the trailer weight in order to improve the ratio of payload to fuel consumption. FORWARD consists of the following steps (1) a testing program, the larger part of which corresponds to normal use for a representative period, (2) to apply these data to validate a vehicle model allowing the derivation of representative loading data, and exploration of the effect of design changes on these loading data, (3) to apply these loading data for further FEM analysis of the global chassis and of local critical points.

Analysis of the role of the A. niger aminolevulinic acid synthase (hemA) gene illustrates the difference between regulation of yeast and fungal heme and siroheme dependent pathways 2012, Article / Letter to editor (FEMS Microbiol Letters, vol. 335, iss. 2, (2012), pp. 104-112)To increase knowledge on haem biosynthesis in filamentous fungi like Aspergillus niger, pathway-specific gene expression in response to haem and haem intermediates was analysed. This analysis showed that iron, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and possibly haem control haem biosynthesis mostly via modulating expression of hemA [coding for 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS)]. A hemA deletion mutant (?hemA) was constructed, which showed conditional lethality. Growth of ?hemA was supported on standard nitrate-containing media with ALA, but not by hemin. Growth of ?hemA could be sustained in the presence of hemin in combination with ammonium instead of nitrate as N-source. Our results suggest that a branch-off within the haem biosynthesis pathway required for sirohaem synthesis is responsible for lack of growth of ?hemA in media containing nitrate as sole N-source, because of the requirement of sirohaem for nitrate assimilation, as a cofactor of nitrite reductase. In contrast to the situation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cysteine, but not methionine, was found to further improve growth of ?hemA. These results demonstrate that A. niger can use exogenous hemin for its cellular processes. They also illustrate important differences in regulation of haem biosynthesis and in the role of haem and sirohaem in A. niger compared to S. cerevisiae.

Analytical solution and experimental validation of the energy management problem for fuel cell hybrid vehicles Bosch, P.P.J. van den ; Tazelaar, Edwin ; Grimminck, M. ; Hoppenbrouwers, S.J.B.A. ; Veenhuizen, P.A.2011, Article in monograph or in proceedings (EEVC)The objective of an energy management strategy for fuel cell hybrid propulsion systems is to minimize the fuel needed to provide the required power demand. This minimization is defined as an optimization problem. Methods such as dynamic programming numerically solve this optimization problem. Strategies such as the equivalent consumption minimization strategy derive an analytical solution based on low-order models that approximate fuel cell stack and battery behavior. This paper presents an analytical solution based on models of the fuel cell system and battery close to physics. Apart from an analytical solution, this solution provides a fundamental understanding of the energy management problem. Because the solution is analytic and does not need a priori knowledge, the computation time is limited, and real-time implementation is possible. The solution presented is validated against existing optimizing energy management strategies in both simulations and experiments. For simulations, a midsize distribution truck is chosen. Experiments are carried out on a 10-kW scale test facility that comprises a fuel cell system, a battery, a motor with load, and an electronic load. In both simulations and measurements, the solution presented in this paper performs best compared to the equivalent consumption minimization strategy and a range-extender strategy, although the differences are within 3%. In the simulations, the solution presented approaches a minimum in fuel consumption, derived offline using dynamic programming, within 1%.

Analyzing cancer forum discussions with text mining Oortmerssen, G. van ; Raaijmakers, S. ; Sappelli, M. ; Boertjes, E. ; Verberne, S. ; Walasek, N. ; Kraaij, W.2017, Article in monograph or in proceedings (2nd International Workshop on Extraction and Processing of Rich Semantics from Medical Texts)We present a multilingual, open source system for cancer forum thread analysis, equipped with a biomedical entity tagger and a module for textual summarization. This system allows users to investi- gate textual co-occurrences of biomedical entities in forum posts, and to browse through summaries of long discussions. It is applied to a number of online cancer patient fora, including a gastro-intestinal cancer forum and a breast cancer forum. We propose that the system can serve as an extra source of information for medical hypothesis formulation, and as a facility for boosting patient empowerment.

Analyzing Information in Complex Collaborative Tasks 2017, Article / Letter to editor (vol. 5, iss. Vol. 5, nr. 1, (2017), pp. 26-42)In this article, we present a method for analyzing the communication of people who exchange dynamic and complex information to come to a shared understanding of situations and of the actions planned and monitored by one party, but executed remotely by another. To examine this situation, we analyzed dispatchers working in police dispatch center in a large city in the Netherlands and their communication behavior in three different settings. The results of our analyses answer the question of how collaborative parties should assess an emergency situation in order to decide how to handle the incident in accordance with the procedures. Our results indicate which information must be communicated in order to deal with the current problem during the course of an incident. We will also demonstrate the proposed way of analyzing the communication used here is needed to understand how information is collaboratively handled in complex tasks.

Andere maatschappelijke verhoudingen, andere verwachtingen van zorg 2011, Article / Letter to editor (Nieuwsbrief Nederlandse Vereniging voor Bio-Ethiek, vol. 18, iss. 2, (2011), pp. 20-21)Een ruim decennium onderweg in de 21 eeuw wordt duidelijk dat informatie steeds belangrijker en toegankelijker wordt in onze samenleving. Gegevens die vroeger niet, of slechts via ingewikkelde bureaucratische wegen verkrijgbaar waren, zijn nu vaak gratis in te zien. Ook over de gezondheidzorg zijn steeds meer data publiekelijk beschikbaar. Moesten we het niet eens zo lang geleden nog doen met het Elseviers lijstje van beste ziekenhuizen, nu kunnen we allerlei prestatie-indicatoren, patiëntenoordelen en wachtlijstcijfers gewoon zelf opzoeken.

AOS Gouden Combinatie 2017, External research report Academische opleidingsscholen combineren inmiddels al tien jaar op succesvolle wijze de lerarenopleiding met praktijkonderzoek. Wat is hun geheim? Gedurende tien jaar is binnen academische opleidingsscholen (AOS) gewerkt aan de structuur en cultuur die nodig is om onderzoek in de school uit te voeren. Daarmee zijn zij voorlopers in de ontwikkeling naar meer praktijkonderzoek in de school. Zij zijn in die tien jaar unieke ervaringsdeskundigen geworden. Er zijn weinig scholen die zoveel onderzoekservaring hebben opgedaan en gewerkt hebben aan een onderzoekende cultuur. Per 1 januari 2017 is de subsidie voor de academische kop officieel gestopt, een mooi moment om terug te kijken welke lessen we kunnen leren over praktijkonderzoek in de school. Het delen van de ervaringen van deze scholen kan andere scholen die meer onderzoekend willen werken inspireren en richting geven.

Applying Axiomatic design and Conceptual independence in the domain of IT systems. 2017, Article in monograph or in proceedings (In MATEC Web of Conferences 127, 01006 (2017))In this paper we explain why Axiomatic design has not been applied in large system of systems information technology architectures in health care organizations in the Netherlands. We have found in extensive case studies of IT systems that the Independence axiom could not be found in the existing Information systems. This causes great concern for the adaptability of systems. Although best practices in system engineering advice decoupling of system functionality, findings show that the Independence Axiom has not been applied to functional requirements. A number of difficulties was exposed to the researcher and IT architects, when they tried to identify and to demarcate functional requirements in existing systems. In IT systems a distinction is made between business and system functions and software engineers emphasize decoupling of system functions. That has resulted in a strong coupling of business information and technical application logic. This means Conceptual dependencies are often at the heart of the difficulties. Decoupling these dependencies in applications seems a candidate for ordering requirements in a way that keeps the functional requirements independent from each other. Conceptual independence signifies a complete decoupling of the concepts and relations of the Business domain from the technical functionality. The paper describes the difficulties when applying the Independence Axiom in the Information systems domain and argues that a combination of Conceptual independence and Axiomatic design is achievable. The authors adapt the Design matrix with Conceptual independence. We conclude that applying Conceptual independence is crucial when constructing IT systems based on Axiomatic design.

Applying the V Model and Axiomatic design 2015, Article / Letter to editor (Elsevier, vol. 34, (2015), pp. 263-268)Abstract This paper applies and discusses the principles of Axiomatic Design for changing IT architecture in health care. It presents three case studies positioned in the field of Enterprise architecture that explore how IT architects, as professionals, manage change and re-design the structure of the IT systems in line with strategic goals. The research approach was to use a light modelling tool, Ampersand, for modelling the Enterprise architecture. Two types of models stand out: Type 1 Strategic IT models in which higher strategic goals are related to requirements for applications and Type 2 Technical management of systems models in which technical risks and risk of system failure in the current IT infrastructure were modelled. To bridge the views of different IT experts in the organization this work uses the customer domain, the functional domain and the physical domain from Axiomatic Design in an extended example in the paper. The V Model is used to bridge the models, and then it is extended with Axiomatic Design principles. Example of model of type 1 Strategic IT Example of model of type 1 Strategic IT … .
