(TU Delft Human-Centered Design; TU Delft Applied Ergonomics and Design)","","2022","Background: The adoption and use of technology have significantly changed health care delivery. Patient experience has become a significant factor in the entire spectrum of patient-centered health care delivery. Digital health facilitates further improvement and empowerment of patient experiences. Therefore, the design of digital health is served by insights into the barriers to and facilitators of digital patient experience (PEx). Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the influencing factors and design considerations of PEx in digital health from the literature and generate design guidelines for further improvement of PEx in digital health. Methods: We performed an umbrella systematic review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology. We searched Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. Two rounds of small random sampling (20%) were independently reviewed by 2 reviewers who evaluated the eligibility of the articles against the selection criteria. Two-round interrater reliability was assessed using the Fleiss-Cohen coefficient (k1=0.88 and k2=0.80). Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the extracted data based on a small set of a priori categories. Results: The search yielded 173 records, of which 45 (26%) were selected for data analysis. Findings and conclusions showed a great diversity; most studies presented a set of themes (19/45, 42%) or descriptive information only (16/45, 36%). The digital PEx-related influencing factors were classified into 9 categories: patient capability, patient opportunity, patient motivation, intervention technology, intervention functionality, intervention interaction design, organizational environment, physical environment, and social environment. These can have three types of impacts: positive, negative, or double edged. We captured 4 design constructs (personalization, information, navigation, and visualization) and 3 design methods (human-centered or user-centered design, co-design or participatory design, and inclusive design) as design considerations. Conclusions: We propose the following definition for digital PEx: ""Digital patient experience is the sum of all interactions affected by a patient's behavioral determinants, framed by digital technologies, and shaped by organizational culture, that influence patient perceptions across the continuum of care channeling digital health."" In this study, we constructed a design and evaluation framework that contains 4 phases-define design, define evaluation, design ideation, and design evaluation-and 9 design guidelines to help digital health designers and developers address digital PEx throughout the entire design process. Finally, our review suggests 6 directions for future digital PEx-related research.","digital health; eHealth; human-computer interaction; influencing factors; mHealth; mobile health; patient experience; telehealth; telemedicine; user experience; user-centered design; OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","Human-Centered Design","Applied Ergonomics and Design","","","" "uuid:b2e30641-5318-426e-bad2-dc3dad94dc08","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:b2e30641-5318-426e-bad2-dc3dad94dc08","Review of Daniel Bell and Wang Pei, Just Hierarchy: Why Social Hierarchies Matter in China and the Rest of the World, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2020.

(TU Delft Computer Engineering); Al-Ars, Z. (TU Delft Computer Engineering); Hofstee, H.P. (TU Delft Computer Engineering; IBM)","","2021","Background Recently many new deep learning–based variant-calling methods like DeepVariant have emerged as more accurate compared with conventional variant-calling algorithms such as GATK HaplotypeCaller, Sterlka2, and Freebayes albeit at higher computational costs. Therefore, there is a need for more scalable and higher performance workflows of these deep learning methods. Almost all existing cluster-scaled variant-calling workflows that use Apache Spark/Hadoop as big data frameworks loosely integrate existing single-node pre-processing and variant-calling applications. Using Apache Spark just for distributing/scheduling data among loosely coupled applications or using I/O-based storage for storing the output of intermediate applications does not exploit the full benefit of Apache Spark in-memory processing. To achieve this, we propose a native Spark-based workflow that uses Python and Apache Arrow to enable efficient transfer of data between different workflow stages. This benefits from the ease of programmability of Python and the high efficiency of Arrow’s columnar in-memory data transformations. Results Here we present a scalable, parallel, and efficient implementation of next-generation sequencing data pre-processing and variant-calling workflows. Our design tightly integrates most pre-processing workflow stages, using Spark built-in functions to sort reads by coordinates and mark duplicates efficiently. Our approach outperforms state-of-the-art implementations by >2 times for the pre-processing stages, creating a scalable and high-performance solution for DeepVariant for both CPU-only and CPU + GPU clusters. Conclusions We show the feasibility and easy scalability of our approach to achieve high performance and efficient resource utilization for variant-calling analysis on high-performance computing clusters using the standardized Apache Arrow data representations. All codes, scripts, and configurations used to run our implementations are publicly available and open sourced; see https://github.com/abs-tudelft/variant-calling-at-scale.","Apache Arrow; Apache Spark; BWA-MEM; DeepVariant; MarkDuplicate; sorting; whole-genome sequencing; OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","","Computer Engineering","","","" "uuid:0761aeb3-445b-4da5-926a-4094827d4c1e","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:0761aeb3-445b-4da5-926a-4094827d4c1e","Implications of future atmospheric composition in decision-making for sustainable aviation","Dedoussi, I.C. (TU Delft Aircraft Noise and Climate Effects)","","2021","Aviation emissions lead to degraded air quality and adverse human health impacts, making air quality one of the leading environmental externalities associated with aviation. Aviation emissions have been growing steadily over the past decades, and, despite the current hindrance in air traffic due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, they are forecasted to continue to grow in the long-term. As a result, mitigating aviation’s adverse air quality impacts is an increasingly pressing challenge for the aviation industry. At the same time, the aviation industry has inherently long timelines, indicating that sustainability-related regulatory and technological decisions made presently will take effect over the next 30+ years. Over such timelines, the changing atmospheric composition, driven by meteorological and background (non-aviation) emissions changes, results in a changing atmospheric response to emissions. This work summarizes recent advancements on this and discusses their implications for the aviation sector. First, aviation emissions and the resulting air quality impacts are described. The role of the atmospheric sensitivities to emissions and their evolution over time is then discussed. Finally, the implications for the long timelines associated with aviation mitigation options are underlined. Current challenges as well as opportunities for future research to resolve current assessment shortcomings are also presented.","air quality; aviation emissions; environmental assessments; sustainable aviation; decision-making; Aviation emissions; Decision-making; Environmental assessments; Air quality; Sustainable aviation; OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","","Aircraft Noise and Climate Effects","","","" "uuid:11f6a1ac-899f-4f3f-b2a9-2f1a48be1327","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:11f6a1ac-899f-4f3f-b2a9-2f1a48be1327","The ulnar collateral ligament loading paradox between in-vitro and in-vivo studies on baseball pitching (narrative review)","van Trigt, B. (TU Delft Biomechanical Engineering); Vliegen, Liset (Student TU Delft); Leenen, Ton (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam); Veeger, H.E.J. (TU Delft Biomechanical Engineering)","","2021","Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) weakening or tears occur in 16% of professional baseball pitchers. To prevent players from sustaining a UCL injury, it is important to understand the relationship between the UCL properties and elbow stabilizers with the load on the UCL during pitching. In-vitro studies showed that the ultimate external valgus torque of 34 Nm would rupture the UCL, which is in apparent conflict with the reported peak valgus torques in pitching (40–120 Nm). Assuming both observations are correct, the question rises why ‘only’ 16 out of 100 professional pitchers sustain a UCL rupture. Underestimation of the effect of other structures in in-vivo studies is most likely the explanation of this mismatch because the calculated in-vivo torque also includes possible contributions of functional and structural stabilizers. In-vitro studies show that the flexor-pronator mass has the potential to counteract valgus torque directly, whereas the elbow flexor-extensor muscles combined with the humeroradial joint might have an indirect effect on valgus torque by increasing the joint compression force. Accurate experimental electromyography data and a more detailed (musculoskeletal)mechanical model of the elbow are needed to investigate if and to what extent the structural and functional stabilizers can shield the UCL during pitching.","elbow injury; electromyography; Tommy John Surgery;; musculoskeletal modelling; overhead sports; UCL; OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","Biomechanical Engineering","","","","" "uuid:aec12f37-886e-4122-8f02-343b9a0d9973","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:aec12f37-886e-4122-8f02-343b9a0d9973","Strategies for swift automated pick-and-place operations of multiple large-sized layers of reinforcement - a critical review","de Zeeuw, C.M.

The state of the art for pick-and-place operations for the manufacturing of composite parts focuses on handling single lab-sized layers at undisclosed speeds. The process could however be more competitive by being able to handle more and larger layers in a faster manner than currently presented in research. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the existing pick-and-place strategies on their suitability for the swift automated handling of multiple large-sized layers of reinforcement. The review shows that many of the existing techniques could be suitable for different scenario’s and discusses which factors are to be taken into account when dealing with large layers, more than one layer or rapid handling.

(TU Delft Biomaterials & Tissue Biomechanics)","","2019","crumpled thin sheets exhibit extraordinary characteristics such as a high strength combined with a low volume ratio. This review focuses on the physics of crumpled thin sheets, including the crumpling mechanics, crumpling methods, and the mechanical behavior of crumpled thin sheets. Most of the physical and mechanical properties of crumpled thin sheets change with the compaction ratio, which creates the opportunity to obtain the properties that are needed for a specific application simply by changing the compaction ratio. This also enables obtaining unusual combinations of material properties, which cannot be easily found in nature. Furthermore, crumpling starts from a flat surface, which could first be decorated with (nano-) patterns or functionalized through other surface treatment techniques, many of which are only applicable to flat surfaces. Ultimately, the crumpling of thin sheets could be used for creating disordered mechanical metamaterials, which are less sensitive to geometric imperfections compared to ordered designs of mechanical metamaterials that are based, for example, on origami or lattice structures.","OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","","Biomaterials & Tissue Biomechanics","","","" "uuid:2bb15cdc-7014-4efd-ad51-0dd6a2899675","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:2bb15cdc-7014-4efd-ad51-0dd6a2899675","Influence of body weight unloading on human gait characteristics: A systematic review","Apte, S.

(TU Delft Biomechatronics & Human-Machine Control)","","2018","Background: Body weight support (BWS) systems have shown promise as rehabilitation tools for neurologically impaired individuals. This paper reviews the experiment-based research on BWS systems with the aim: (1) To investigate the influence of body weight unloading (BWU) on gait characteristics; (2) To study whether the effects of BWS differ between treadmill and overground walking and (3) To investigate if modulated BWU influences gait characteristics less than unmodulated BWU. Method: A systematic literature search was conducted in the following search engines: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Statistical analysis was used to quantify the effects of BWU on gait parameters. Results: 54 studies of experiments with healthy and neurologically impaired individuals walking in a BWS system were included and 32 of these were used for the statistical analysis. Literature was classified using three distinctions: (1) treadmill or overground walking; (2) the type of subjects and (3) the nature of unloading force. Only 27% studies were based on neurologically impaired subjects; a low number considering that they are the primary user group for BWS systems. The studies included BWU from 5% to 100% and the 30% and 50% BWU conditions were the most widely studied. The number of participants varied from 1 to 28, with an average of 12. It was seen that due to the increase in BWU level, joint moments, muscle activity, energy cost of walking and ground reaction forces (GRF) showed higher reduction compared to gait spatio-temporal and joint kinematic parameters. The influence of BWU on kinematic and spatio-temporal gait parameters appeared to be limited up to 30% unloading. 5 gait characteristics presented different behavior in response to BWU for overground and treadmill walking. Remaining 21 gait characteristics showed similar behavior but different magnitude of change for overground and treadmill walking. Modulated unloading force generally led to less difference from the 0% condition than unmodulated unloading. Conclusion: This review has shown that BWU influences all gait characteristics, albeit with important differences between the kinematic, spatio-temporal and kinetic characteristics. BWU showed stronger influence on the kinetic characteristics of gait than on the spatio-temporal parameters and the kinematic characteristics. It was ascertained that treadmill and overground walking can alter the effects of BWU in a different manner. Our results indicate that task-specific gait training is likely to be achievable at a BWU level of 30% and below.

To implement them in a large scale, broad acceptance in societies is crucial. However, a growing body of research has revealed societal concerns with these technologies. To achieve sustainable energy systems, such concerns should be taken into account in the development of smart grid technologies. In this paper, we show that many concerns are related to moral values such as privacy, justice, or trust. We explore the effect of moral values on the acceptance of smart grid technologies. The results of our systematic literature review indicate that moral values can be both driving forces and barriers for smart grid acceptance. We propose that future research striving to understand the role of moral values as factors for social acceptance can benefit from an interdisciplinary approach bridging literature in ethics of technology with technology acceptance models.","Smart energy; Smart grid; Sustainability; Technology acceptance; Technology adoption; Values; OA-Fund TU Delft","en","review","","","","","","","","","","","Economics of Technology and Innovation","","","" "uuid:2d9c7098-e203-4c1f-9347-f451e224a10c","http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:2d9c7098-e203-4c1f-9347-f451e224a10c","Analysing the institutional setting of local renewable energy planning and implementation in the EU: A systematic literature review","Lammers, Imke (University of Twente); Hoppe, T. (TU Delft Organisation & Governance)","","2018","Due to the liberalisation of the European Union's (EU) electricity sector, stakeholders' roles and responsibilities in local energy planning and implementation are not well-defined in legislation anymore. To investigate what local energy planning and implementation processes look like in the post-liberalisation era we conduct a systematic literature review by addressing the question 'which institutional settings of local renewable energy planning and implementation in the EU's post-liberalisation area has prior empirical research identified?' For this systematic analysis we conceptualised the analytic concept 'action situation' (as developed by Elinor Ostrom), from an energy governance and energy policy perspective. The literature review was conducted in two cycles: A systematic database search and snowballing. Four clusters of search terms were used to search two databases. The selected articles were coded using Atlas.ti. Our in-depth qualitative analysis revealed the institutional arrangements used in the reported local energy planning processes were found to not be ideal for the introduction of renewable energy technologies. No type of actor group seems actively to support the realisation of renewable energy projects. Moreover, a high dependence on financial subsidies was found. These results are useful for practitioners and policy-makers as they show which possibilities and limitations stakeholders encounter in the changed level playing field of local energy planning.
