101 innovations for active aging From the onset of mankind to nowadays
Spierings, Dort
2012, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 84-87)In order to support aging in place, Dutch elderly that cannot live at home any longer are housed in Assisted Living Facilities (ALF’s). Here they live as independently as possible and can rely on care and services 24 hours a day. Nowadays the intended home-like atmosphere is threatened by the increasing number of inhabitants needing high levels of care. Initiators have to cope with this issue and have to decide on the most desirable scale of ALFs and the optimal mix of different user groups and facilities. The Assisted Living Atlas shows a huge number of different projects in a standard way, in order to help decision makers to be aware of different solutions and to find best practices.

A 3-day EGCG-supplementation reduces interstitial lactate concentration in skeletal muscle of overweight subjects.
Most, J. ; Can, J.G. van ; Dijk, J.W. van ; Goossens, G.H. ; Jocken, J. ; Hospers, J.J. ; Bendik, I. ; Blaak, E.E.
2015, Article / Letter to editor (Scientific Reports, vol. 5, (2015), pp. 17896)Green tea, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), may affect body weight and composition, possibly by enhancing fat oxidation. The aim of this double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled cross-over study was to investigate whether 3-day supplementation with EGCG (282 mg/day) stimulates fat oxidation and lipolysis in 24 overweight subjects (age = 30 ± 2 yrs, BMI = 27.7 ± 0.3 kg/m(2)). Energy expenditure, substrate metabolism and circulating metabolites were determined during fasting and postprandial conditions. After 6 h, a fat biopsy was collected to examine gene expression. In 12 subjects, skeletal muscle glycerol, glucose and lactate concentrations were determined using microdialysis. EGCG-supplementation did not alter energy expenditure and substrate oxidation compared to placebo. Although EGCG reduced postprandial circulating glycerol concentrations (P = 0.015), no difference in skeletal muscle lipolysis was observed. Fasting (P = 0.001) and postprandial (P = 0.003) skeletal muscle lactate concentrations were reduced after EGCG-supplementation compared to placebo, despite similar tissue blood flow. Adipose tissue leptin (P = 0.05) and FAT/CD36 expression (P = 0.08) were increased after EGCG compared to placebo. In conclusion, 3-day EGCG-supplementation decreased postprandial plasma glycerol concentrations, but had no significant effects on skeletal muscle lipolysis and whole-body fat oxidation in overweight individuals. Furthermore, EGCG decreased skeletal muscle lactate concentrations, which suggest a shift towards a more oxidative muscle phenotype.

A compentence-based approach for small and medium-sized enterprises
Brancatisano, Germano ; Verburg, Robert ; Jurriëns, Jan
2012, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 137-155)On the basis of empirical research, a competence-based model of the internationalization process of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is developed. The model focuses on so-called International Market-Entry Core Competencies (IMECC), which are global management competences considered crucial during the formulation of a market-entry strategy. This article aims to emphasize the relevance of international managerial competencies as fundamental resources for the internationalization of SMEs and their relation with the market-entry modes.

A conceptual framework to identify spatial implications of new ways of learning in higher education
Dewulf, Geert ; Voordt, Theo van der ; Beckers, R.
2015, Article / Letter to editor (Facilities, vol. 33, iss. 1/2, (2015), pp. 2-19)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the spatial implications of new learning theories and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a review of the literature, a theoretical framework has been developed that visualises the spatial implications of developments in higher education. To further explore spatial configurations that support changes in education, a comparative floor plan analysis was carried out at four Dutch institutes of higher education. Findings – The findings show that the traditional classroom space is progressively being replaced by a variety of learning settings to support contemporary learning activities. Practical implications – The research findings contribute to a better understanding of the alignment of learning space to the evolving needs that come from new ways of learning, supported by advanced ICT, and can be used to support space planning in higher education. Originality/value – This paper builds upon findings from different disciplines: Facilities Management and Corporate Real Estate Management (suitability of floor plans) and Theory of Education (the pedagogical approaches and pedagogical assumptions those floor plans convey).

2008, Article / Letter to editor (LogForum, vol. 2008, iss. 1, (2008))Educating students to become a logistics professional, requires a certain set of competences to be attained. This study investigates which competences are required in logistics business practise, and whether a differentiation may be noticed in the actual profiles of logistics professional. It shows that educational institutions could fine tune training their students according to the required abilities, skills and attitudes
A future for quality professionals?
Berendsen, Gerard
2012, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 186)Although quality management has a long tradition and plays an important role in operational and managerial activities in organizations nowadays, it also seems to be less clear and less visible. In this paper the focus is on the rise and fall of quality management in organizations and the impact this has had on professionals. Starting with an historical perspective, comments will be made on the trends in literature and the opinions and experiences from both entrepreneurs and managers. It is argued that in the near future professionals will have to focus on entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, demanddriven contributions, working simultaneously with commitment and assurance paradigm and also working on multiple value optimization. Then the professionals’ role and impact in organizations will stay visible and valuable.
A learning space odyssey : summary : background, objectives and research questions
Beckers, T.
2016, Dissertation This dissertation addresses the alignment of learning space with higher education learning and teaching. Significant changes in higher education the past decades, such as increased information and communication technology (ICT) and new learning theories have resulted in the dilemma whether higher education institutions can facilitate tomorrow’s learning and teaching in today’s or even yesterday’s school buildings. In practice, this results in the managerial question: ‘How can higher education institutions align the physical learning environment with the developments in learning and teaching?’.

A Lifespan Perspective on Psychological Contracts and its Relations with Organizational Commitment
Heijden, Beatrice van der ; Zacher, Hannes ; Bal, Matthijs ; Lange, A.H. de
2013, Article / Letter to editor (European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, vol. 22, iss. 3, (2013), pp. 279-292)The current study investigated the influence of age-related constructs on the psychological contract and its relationships with continuance and normative commitment. It was proposed that as people age, their future time perspective (FTP) decreases. Consequently, it was expected that contract fulfilment would be positively related to continuance commitment for workers with short FTP, while it would be positively related to normative commitment for workers with long FTP. Conversely, it was argued that, with age, workers’ perceived work-related expertise increases, resulting in stronger reactions to obligation fulfilment on normative commitment. A study among 334 employees showed that FTP and work-related expertise indeed moderated the relationships between contract fulfilment and organizational commitment. The results showed that the influence of age on the relations between contract fulfilment with outcomes is dependent upon FTP and occupational expertise. The study shows the value of a lifespan perspective on psychological contracts and their relations with organizational commitment.
A literature review of open-ended concept maps as a research instrument to study knowledge and learning
Ries, K.E. de ; Schaap, H. ; Loon, M.J.A.P. van ; Kral, M.H. ; Meijer, P.C.
2021, Article / Letter to editor (Quality & Quantity, (2021))In educational, social or organizational studies, open-ended concept maps are used as an instrument to collect data about and analyze individuals’ conceptual knowledge. Openended concept map studies devoted to knowledge and learning apply a variety of methods of analysis. This literature review systematically summarizes the various ways in which open-ended concept maps have been applied in previous studies of knowledge and learning. This paper describes three major aspects of these studies: what methods of analysis were used, what concept map characteristics were considered, and what conclusions about individuals’ knowledge or understanding were drawn. Twenty-fve studies that used open-ended concept maps as a research instrument were found eligible for inclusion. In addition, the paper examines associations between the three aspects of the studies and provides guidelines for methodological coherence in the process of such analysis. This review underscores the importance of expatiating on choices made concerning these aspects. The transparency provided by this method of working will contribute to the imitable application of open-ended concept maps as a research tool and foster more informed choices in future open-ended concept map studies.”
a longitudinal study of age-related differences in reactions to phsycological contract breach
Jansen, R.M.C. ; Lange, A.H. de ; Bal, Matthijs ; Velde, Mandy van der
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Applied Psychology: an International Review, vol. 62, iss. 1, (2013), pp. 157-181)The current paper investigated age-related differences in the relations of psychological contract breach with work outcomes over time. Based on affective events theory, we expected job satisfaction to mediate the longitudinal relationship of contract breach with changes in job performance. Moreover, based on socio-emotional selectivity theory, it was predicted that reactions to contract breach on job satisfaction and job performance would be stronger among younger workers than older workers. This two-wave panel study among 240 employees investigated interactions of age with psychological contract breach in relation to changes in job satisfaction and job performance over time. Moderated structural equation modeling showed that job satisfaction partially mediated the longitudinal relationships between contract breach and job performance. Moreover, the analyses supported socio-emotional selectivity theory; older workers reacted less intensely to psychological contract breach towards job satisfaction and job performance, indicating a general decreased responsiveness of older workers towards the psychological contract. It is concluded that age plays an important role in how contract breaches relate to changes in work outcomes over time.

van de Glind, I ; Berben, S ; Zeegers, F. ; Poppen, H. ; Hoogeveen, M. ; Bolt, I ; van Grunsven, P ; Vloet, L
2016, Article / Letter to editor (Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, vol. 24, (2016))Background: In pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) more research is needed to direct and underpin care delivery and inform policy. To target future research efforts, this study aimed to determine future research priorities with representatives of the EMS field. Methods: A four-round online Delphi survey was used to discuss different viewpoints and reach consensus on research priorities. A multidisciplinary panel of experts was recruited in the field of pre-hospital EMS and adjoining (scientific) professional organisations (n = 62). 48 research topics were presented in Delphi I, and the panel was asked to rate their importance on a 5-point scale. In Delphi II and III the panel selected their priority research topics, and arguments why and suggestions for research questions were collected and reported back. In Delphi IV appropriateness of the remaining topics and agreement within the expert panel was taken into account to make up the final list of research priorities. Results: The response on the Delphi-survey was high: 95 % (n = 59; Delphi I); 97 % (n = 60, Delphi II); 94 % (n = 58, Delphi III); 97 % (n = 60, Delphi IV). The panel reduced the number of research topics from 48 topics in Delphi I to 12 topics in Delphi III. A variety of arguments and suggestions for research questions were collected, giving insight in reasons why research on these topics in the near future is needed. Delphi IV showed an adequate level of agreement with respect to the 12 presented research topics. The following 9 topics were rated as appropriate for the national pre-hospital EMS research agenda: Non-conveyance to the hospital (ranked highest); Performance measures for quality of care; Hand over/registration/exchange of patient data; Care and task substitution; Triage; Assessment of acute neurologic signs & symptoms; Protocols and protocol adherence; Immobilisation; and Open/secure airway. Discussions: The research priorities identified in our study resemble those in other studies. However, the topic 'non-conveyance to the hospital' was determined as a priority in this study but not in other studies. Conclusions: The national pre-hospital EMS research agenda can focus future research efforts to improve the evidence base and clinical practice of pre-hospital emergency medical services. Dissemination and implementation of the research agenda deserves careful attention.

A Novel Quality Measure and Correction Procedure for the Annotation of Microbial Translation Initiation Sites.
Overmars, L. ; Siezen, R.J. ; Francke, C.
2015, Article / Letter to editor (PLoS One, vol. 10, iss. 7, (2015), pp. e0133691)The identification of translation initiation sites (TISs) constitutes an important aspect of sequence-based genome analysis. An erroneous TIS annotation can impair the identification of regulatory elements and N-terminal signal peptides, and also may flaw the determination of descent, for any particular gene. We have formulated a reference-free method to score the TIS annotation quality. The method is based on a comparison of the observed and expected distribution of all TISs in a particular genome given prior gene-calling. We have assessed the TIS annotations for all available NCBI RefSeq microbial genomes and found that approximately 87% is of appropriate quality, whereas 13% needs substantial improvement. We have analyzed a number of factors that could affect TIS annotation quality such as GC-content, taxonomy, the fraction of genes with a Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the year of publication. The analysis showed that only the first factor has a clear effect. We have then formulated a straightforward Principle Component Analysis-based TIS identification strategy to self-organize and score potential TISs. The strategy is independent of reference data and a priori calculations. A representative set of 277 genomes was subjected to the analysis and we found a clear increase in TIS annotation quality for the genomes with a low quality score. The PCA-based annotation was also compared with annotation with the current tool of reference, Prodigal. The comparison for the model genome of Escherichia coli K12 showed that both methods supplement each other and that prediction agreement can be used as an indicator of a correct TIS annotation. Importantly, the data suggest that the addition of a PCA-based strategy to a Prodigal prediction can be used to 'flag' TIS annotations for re-evaluation and in addition can be used to evaluate a given annotation in case a Prodigal annotation is lacking.
A novel structured plastic substrate for light confinement in thin film silicon solar cells by a geometric optical effect

2012, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, vol. 17, iss. 358, (2012), pp. 2308-2312)We present a novel method to achieve light trapping in thin film silicon solar cells. Unlike the commonly used surface textures, such as Asahi U-type TCO, that rely on light scattering phenomena, we employ embossed periodically arranged micro-pyramidal structures with feature sizes much larger than the wavelength of visible light. Angular resolved transmission of light through these substrates indeed showed diffraction patterns, unlike in the case of Asahi U-type substrates, which show angular resolved scattering. Single junction amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cells made at 125 °C on the embossed structured polycarbonate (PC) substrates showed an increase in current density by 24% compared to a similar solar cell on a flat substrate. The band gap and thickness of the i-layer made by VHF PECVD are 1.9 eV and 270 nm respectively. A double p-layer (nc-Si:H/a-Si:H) was used to make proper contact with ZnO:Al TCO. Numerical modeling, called DokterDEP was performed to fit the dark and light current–voltage parameters and understand the characteristics of the cell. The output parameters from the modeling suggest that the cells have excellent built-in potential (Vbi). However, a rather high recombination voltage, Vµ, affects the FF and short circuit current density (Jsc) for the cells on Asahi as well as for the cells on PC. A rather high parallel resistance » 1 MO cm2 (obtained from the modeling) infers that there is no significant shunt leakage, which is often observed for solar cells made at low temperatures on rough substrates. An efficiency of more than 6% for a cell on PC shows enormous potential of this type of light trapping structures.
A preliminary study into the instrumentation of collaborative improvement in organisational networks
Berendsen, Gerard ; Pieters, Ineke ; Alders, Ben ; Liere, Matjo van
2009, Article in monograph or in proceedings (Proceedings of the 10th International CINet Conference)In striving for an excellent position regarding competitors in all aspects of management and operations, organizations benefit from establishing strategic cooperations. With allies they can be more successful in surviving the hyper competition. From this survey we derived the frequency, importance and effect of instruments also regarding the organization’s collaborative maturity. The results give food to the assumption that the application of ‘hard’ Continuous Improvement tools (CI) and techniques are of more relevance in achieving the goals of cooperation than ‘soft’ CI-tools.

A Scandinavian institutionalist perspective on the Balanced Scorecard
Wagensveld, J. ; Vosselman, M.
2014, Article in monograph or in proceedings ()In retrospect, Kaplan's serendipitous encounter with the scorecard of Analog Devices Inc: (a semiconductor company based in the Boston area) gave impetus to the emergence of the balanced scorecard (Schneiderman, 2006; Kleiner, 2002). In the aftermath of the discovery of Analog's scorecard the process of building a new theory about non-financial measures complementing financial measures started through innovation action research (Kaplan, 1998).
A scenario study on future demands on container and truck sizes of the future

2012, Part of book or chapter of book (Vervoerslogistieke Werkdagen 2012, pp. 405-417)To what extent will future demands of worldwide operating parties, regarding the (tertiary) packaging of their freight flows, determine or influence the future dimensions of freight trucks? That is the question we address to in this paper. In this study we have studied what container sizes may fit in the future demands of world trade and freight flows. We have identified several trends and studied its possible impact on the sizes of the truck of the future. Two serial projects have been carried out within the framework of the HTAS-EMS research program, in which amongst others MAN, University of Technology Eindhoven, TNO and HAN University of Applied Sciences cooperate in order to determine the requirements for the truck of the future. The first two projects of this research program have been carried out in order to determine possible influences of: - packaging on the requirement of Logistic Service Providers for the next generation of trucks (project I); - the pallet as an influence on the opportunities for intermodality of transport units, within the context of EU trade with emerging economies (project II). The first research project was part of a dissertation program for the MSc program in Logistics and Supply Chain management of the University of Westminster (project I); the second, of a BBA program in Logistics of HAN University of Applied Sciences (project II).
A socio-emotional selectivity perspective on age-related differences in reactions to psychological contract breach

2020, Article / Letter to editor (Nutrients, vol. 12, iss. 3, (2020))Nutrition is one of the modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, and is therefore highly relevant in the context of prevention. However, knowledge of dietary quality in clinical populations on the spectrum of AD dementia is lacking, therefore we studied the association between dietary quality and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and controls. We included 357 participants from the NUDAD project (134 AD dementia, 90 MCI, 133 controls). We assessed adherence to dietary guidelines (components: vegetables, fruit, fibers, fish, saturated fat, trans-fat, salt, and alcohol), and cognitive performance (domains: memory, language, visuospatial functioning, attention, and executive functioning). In the total population, linear regression analyses showed a lower vegetable intake is associated with poorer global cognition, visuospatial functioning, attention and executive functioning. In AD dementia, lower total adherence to dietary guidelines and higher alcohol intake were associated with poorer memory, a lower vegetable intake with poorer global cognition and executive functioning, and a higher trans-fat intake with poorer executive functioning. In conclusion, a suboptimal diet is associated with more severely impaired cognition-this association is mostly attributable to a lower vegetable intake and is most pronounced in AD dementia.

A Typical Case of Recommending the Use of a Hierarchical Data Format
Wagenaars, P. ; Bakema, G.P. ; Sibarani, E.M.
2012, Article / Letter to editor (International Journal of Database Management Systems (IJDMS), vol. 4, iss. 6, (2012), pp. 27-48)Storing large amounts of data in an efficient way from the point of view of very fast retrieval is animportant requirement for many industries like KEMA, a company offering consulting, testing andcertification in the energy business. Because their relational database could not cope fast enough with thelarge amounts of data involved, an alternative way for data storage was proposed, called HierarchicalData Format 5 (HDF5). HDF5 is a data model, a library, and file format for storing and managing data.Four hierarchical designs for storing and retrieving the large amounts of data involved were investigated.A benchmark was carried out in order to know which hierarchical structure would perform best.Eventually, a benchmark between HDF5 and MS SQL Server was carried out. It could be shown thatHDF5 performs four (4) times better for inserting and even 200 times better for retrieving data than theMS. SQL Server.
A vision on Prescriptive Analytics
Sappelli, M. ; Boer, M. de ; Smit, S. ; Bomhof, F.
2017, Article in monograph or in proceedings (Proceedings of ALLDATA, The 3d international conference on Big Data, Small Data, Linked Data and Open Data)In this paper, we show our vision on prescriptive analytics. Prescriptive analytics is a field of study in which the actions are determined that are required in order to achieve a particular goal. This is different from predictive analytics, where we only determine what will happen if we continue current trend. Consequently, the amount of data that needs to be taken into account is much larger, making it a relevant big data problem. We zoom in on the requirements of prescriptive analytics problems: impact, complexity, objective, constraints and data. We explain some of the challenges, such as the availability of the data, the downside of simulations, the creation of bias in the data and trust of the user. We highlight a number of application areas in which prescriptive analytics could or would not work given our requirements. Based on these application areas, we conclude that domains with a large amount of data and in which the phenomena are restricted by laws of physics or math are very applicable for prescriptive analytics. Areas in which the human or human activities play a role, future research will be required to meet the requirements and tackle the challenges. Directions of future research will be in integrating model-driven and data-driven approaches, but also privacy, ethics and legislation. Whereas predictive analytics is often already accepted in society, prescriptive analytics is still in its infancy.

2012, Article / Letter to editor (Nederlands-Vlaams Tijdschrift voor Palliatieve Zorg, vol. 2012, iss. 2, (2012), pp. 21-27)In twee focusgroepsbijeenkomsten is verpleegkundigen, werkzaam in de thuiszorg of in het ziekenhuis, gevraagd of en welke taken zij voor zichzelf weggelegd zien bij de aanmelding van patiënten bij een hospicevoorziening. Bij de verwijzing naar een hospicevoorziening hebben verpleegkundigen naar eigen zeggen vooral een voorbereidende rol. Taken die zij daarbij uitvoeren zijn het informeren van patiënten en diens naasten over de zorg die de hospicevoorziening kan bieden; het emotioneel ondersteunen van de patiënt bij het maken van de keuze voor verdere zorg en het behartigen van de belangen van de patiënt. Het daadwerkelijk coördineren van zorg of het aanmelden van patiënten bij de hospicevoorziening doen verpleegkundigen zelden. Deze taken bleken voor verpleegkundigen met een aantal dilemma’s omgeven. Zo is het tijdstip waarop men met patiënten over opname in een hospicevoorziening begint te praten belangrijk, maar moeilijk aan te geven. Zo ook de mate waarin men directief de mogelijkheid aankaart en de professionele ruimte hierin. De bevindingen pleiten voor een brede discussie over de rol van verpleegkundigen in de palliatieve zorg.
