de Wit, J.J. (author), Pieters, Wolter (author), Jansen, S.J.T. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Security professionals play a decisive role in security risk decision making, with important implications for security in organisations and society. Because of this subjective input in security understanding possible biases in this process is paramount. In this paper, well known biases as observed and described in prospect theory are studied in...journal article 2021

Friedericy, Herman J. (author), van Egmond, Cas W. (author), Vogtländer, J.G. (author), van der Eijk, A.C. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)The widespread use of single-use polypropylene packaging for sterilization of surgical instruments (blue wrap) results in enormous environmental pollution and plastic waste, estimated at 115 million kilograms on a yearly basis in the United States alone. Rigid sterilization containers (RSCs) are a well-known alternative in terms of quality...journal article 2021

Roelofsen, C.P.G. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Vink, P. (author)There are different thermal perception models linked to a mathematical thermophysiological human model, with which the thermal sensation under stationary and/or dynamic conditions can be evaluated. Each of these perception and thermophysiological models have their own field of application. Stolwijk developed a thermophysiological human model...journal article 2021

Jansen, S.J.T. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author), Rooij, R.M. (author)Research courses are part of many higher education curricula. However, students’ attitudes towards statistics and research courses tend to be negative. One way to measure students’ attitude is with the Revised-Attitudes Towards Research scale (R-ATR). The current study examined: (1) the internal reliability of the R-ATR, (2) the attitude of...journal article 2021

Jansen, B. (author), Hermans, Felienne (author)The use of spreadsheets in industry is widespread. It is known that spreadsheets have an average life span of five years, and during this life span, they are used on average by thirteen different persons. Consequently, spreadsheets need maintenance, and knowledge about the spreadsheet needs to be transferred from one user to another. To minimize...conference paper 2021

(author), Holstege, H. (author)Studying the genome of centenarians may give insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying extreme human longevity and the escape of age-related diseases. Here, we set out to construct polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for longevity and to investigate the functions of longevity-associated variants. Using a cohort of centenarians with...journal article 2021

(author)Introduction: The implementation of advanced minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques has broadened. An extensive body of literature shows that high hospital and surgeon volumes lead to better patient outcomes. However, no information is available regarding volume trends in the post-implementation phase of MIS. This study investigated...journal article 2021

Homeworking can have benefits both for employees and employers, as some experience a productivity increase and a better work-life balance. However, it is also harder for employers to measure and monitor employees’ performance and for the employee it can...conference paper 2021

van Manen, T. (author), Janbaz, S. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Shape-shifting materials are a powerful tool for the fabrication of reconfigurable materials. Upon activation, not only a change in their shape but also a large shift in their material properties can be realized. As compared with the 4D printing of 2D-to-3D shape-shifting materials, the 4D printing of reconfigurable (i.e., 3D-to-3D shape...journal article 2021

Teunissen, L.P.J. (author), Plaude, L. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author)Prolonged exposure to solar radiation can cause considerable heat stress. The application of reflective materials in garments or sunscreens is generally considered as an appropriate protective strategy. In this study, we aimed to compare a range of reflective and control fabrics on their ability to reduce the thermal impact of solar radiation....journal article 2021

Du, T. (author), Jansen, S.C. (author), Turrin, M. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Numerous studies have shown that architectural design affects energy performance significantly. However, the effect of space layouts on building energy performance has not been fully analysed. In this paper, we aim to study the effect of space layouts on energy performance. An office building was used as the reference, and 11 layout variants...journal article 2021

Simão, T. D. (author), Jansen, Nils (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Deploying reinforcement learning (RL) involves major concerns around safety. Engineering a reward signal that allows the agent to maximize its performance while remaining safe is not trivial. Safe RL studies how to mitigate such problems. For instance, we can decouple safety from reward using constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs), where...conference paper 2021
