Graat, Mariska (author)The current food system stimulates unhealthy food choices and is a major contributor to environmental pressures. To improve this situation, an integrated approach is necessary, where we take into account the different actors in the food environment and how each of these can contribute to a more healthy and sustainable society. Although change...master thesis 2022

Solbes Ferri, Irene (author)The objective of this master project is to improve the current SHM techniques for global damage identification of beam-like composite structures. The studied damage diagnosis method is based on structural vibrations from which the modal parameters are obtained. The literature study provides an overview of the most common vibration-based damage...master thesis 2022

Beckmann, Julia (author)Cardiovascular diseases are a prevalent cause of death worldwide. People with physically demanding jobs tend to have poorer cardiovascular health than people with sedentary jobs. In contrast to leisure-time physical activity (PA), occupational PA (lifting, pushing, and pulling heavy loads over a long period without sufficient recovery) seems to...master thesis 2022

Cornelissen, Lisa (author)The transformations the healthcare sector is undergoing can be divided into three types of changes; gradual change, sudden change and expected change. The ageing population represents the gradual change. The ageing population brings an increased demand for care, while also an increasing need for cost control and a decrease in available capacity...master thesis 2022

Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Lemke, M. (author), de Boer, Alie (author)Commercial food packages may contain multiple messages. Packaging designers try to integrate all messages into a coherent design. Designers may use text, images or stylistic features, but these mediums may differ in their suitability to communicate specific product benefits. To evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of these three mediums,...journal article 2022

Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of office workers were required to conduct their work from home. Little is known about the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) preferences and psychosocial comfort preferences of staff working from home. Therefore this study aimed to cluster office workers working at home based on their self-reported...journal article 2022

Qian, QK (author), Ho, Winky K.O. (author), Jayantha, Wadu Mesthrige (author), Chan, Edwin H.W. (author)The rapidly growing aging population is a global phenomenon imposing societal challenges on many cities. ‘Aging-in-place’ as a popular concept accommodates both the elderly desire to age in a familiar environment and adaptive old home modifications for aging. However, this concept has not been explored in-depth systematically in the urban...journal article 2022
