Jellema, A.H. (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Hartholt, Klaas (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author)Due to changes in foot morphology and the occurrence of foot deformities and foot pain with ageing, older people frequently wear ill-fitting shoes. This can lead to negative effects on comfort and mobility. A review of the literature was performed in Medline, Scopus and Embase with the aim (a) to evaluate the effects of shoes or shoe elements on...review 2019

Al Sader, N. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)In the Netherlands, active citizenship in the context of urban regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods seems to have evolved into ‘entrepreneurial citizenship’. The concept of entrepreneurial citizenship combines top-down and bottom-up elements. National and/or local governments promote an ideal citizen with entrepreneurship skills and...review 2019

Burek, B. O. (author), Bormann, S. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Bloh, J. Z. (author), Holtmann, D. (author)In general, hydrogen peroxide is a stable and relatively mild oxidant and it can be regarded as the ultimate "green" reagent because water and oxygen are the only by-products. Besides the direct application of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in chemical processes more and more enzymatic syntheses based on hydrogen peroxide were developed....review 2019

Wang, G. (author), Marradia, Chiara (author), Albayrak, A. (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author)Co-designing with people with dementia (PwD) can uncover their needs and preferences, which have been often overlooked. It is difficult for PwD to understand designers and express themselves in a conventional co-design session. This study aims to evaluate the effects of involving PwD in design research on both PwD and the design process; to...review 2019

Burbach, Peter P.H. (author), Meijer, D.H.M. (author)Latrophilins (LPHNs) are adhesion GPCRs that are originally discovered as spider’s toxin receptors, but are now known to be involved in brain development and linked to several neuronal and non-neuronal disorders. Latrophilins act in conjunction with other cell adhesion molecules and may play a leading role in its network organization. Here,...review 2019

(author)CRISPR-Cas represents the only adaptive immune system of prokaryotes known to date. These immune systems are widespread among bacteria and archaea, and provide protection against invasion of mobile genetic elements, such as bacteriophages and plasmids. As a result of the arms-race between phages and their prokaryotic hosts, phages have...review 2019

(author)Earth system models (ESMs) are key tools for providing climate projections under different scenarios of human-induced forcing. ESMs include a large number of additional processes and feedbacks such as biogeochemical cycles that traditional physical climate models do not consider. Yet, some processes such as cloud dynamics and ecosystem...review 2019

(author), Wang, Xianye (author), Zhang, Yuning (author), He, Qing (author)Many large rivers in the world delivers decreasing sediment loads to coastal oceans owing to reductions in sediment yield and disrupted sediment deliver. Understanding the sediment load regime is a prerequisite of sediment management and fluvial and deltaic ecosystem restoration. This work examines sediment load changes across the Changjiang...review 2019

van der Helm, M. (author), Klemm, B. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)Even though enzymes are the cornerstones of living systems, it has so far proven difficult to deploy artificial catalysts in a biological setting. Organocatalysts are arguably well-suited artificial catalysts for this purpose because, compared with enzymes and inorganic catalysts, they are simpler, often less toxic and widely accessible. This...review 2019
