(author), Pijl, Hanno (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Objective The objective of this study was to investigate whether placebo effect induced by pharmacological conditioning with intranasal insulin can affect glucose, insulin, C-peptide, hunger, and memory in patients with diabetes type 2 and healthy controls. Methods Placebo effect was induced by pharmacological conditioning. Thirty-two older...journal article 2023

Wolters, Fabian (author), van Middendorp, Henriët (author), Van den Bergh, Omer (author), Biermasz, Nienke R. (author), Meijer, Onno C. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Background: The hormone cortisol plays important roles in human circadian and stress physiology and is an interesting target for interventions. Cortisol varies not only in response to stress but also as part of a diurnal rhythm. It shows a particularly sharp increase immediately after awakening, the cortisol awakening response (CAR). Cortisol...journal article 2023

(author), van Middendorp, Henriët (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Nocebo effects are adverse treatment outcomes that are not ascribed to active treatment components. Potentially, their magnitude might be higher in patients with chronic pain compared to healthy controls since patients likely experience treatment failure more frequently. The current study investigated group differences in the induction and...journal article 2023

Understanding civil servants' intentions to open data: factors influencing behavior to disclose dataKleiman, F. (author), Jansen, S.J.T. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Purpose: The opening of government data is high on the policy agenda of governments worldwide. However, data release faces barriers due to limited support of civil servants, whereas the literature neglects civil servants' role in opening data. This paper aims at understanding why civil servants can be reluctant to support the disclosure of data....journal article 2023

Meijer, D.H. (author), Korving, J.L. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens-Meyer, François (author)Urban drainage systems are composed of subsystems. The ratio of the storage and discharge capacities of the subsystems determines the performance. The performance of the urban water system may deteriorate as a result of the change in the ratio of storage to discharge capacity due to aging, urbanisation and climate change. We developed the...journal article 2023

(author)Ytterbium-doped LiYF4 (Yb:YLF) is a commonly used material for laser applications, as a photon upconversion medium, and for optical refrigeration. As nanocrystals (NCs), the material is also of interest for biological and physical applications. Unfortunately, as with most phosphors, with the reduction in size comes a large reduction of the...journal article 2023

(author)Background: Current eHealth interventions are poorly adopted by people with low health literacy (LHL) as they often fail to meet their needs, skills, and preferences. A major reason for this poor adoption is the generic, one-size-fits-all approach taken by designers of these interventions, without addressing the needs, skills, and preferences...journal article 2023

(author)Background: Nocebo effects can adversely affect the experience of physical symptoms, such as pain and itch. Nocebo effects on itch and pain have shown to be induced by conditioning with thermal heat stimuli and reduced by counterconditioning. However, open-label counterconditioning, in which participants are informed about the placebo content...journal article 2023

Wang, Z. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)In practice, automated energy performance fault diagnosis systems are seldom installed in HVAC systems. The main reason is that a specific Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) setup is time-consuming and expensive because the existing methods are component-specific, not aligned with HVAC design practices, and not fully automated. 4S3F (four...conference paper 2022
