Cardinali, M. (author)This doctoral thesis critically examines green space characteristics and their proximity to residents in their ability to help reduce the global disease burden of non-communicable diseases. By dissecting three pivotal pathways of theorized green space health effects through increased physical activity, increased social cohesion, and reduced air...doctoral thesis 2024

Cardinali, M. (author), Beenackers, Mariëlle A. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Pottgiesser, U. (author)Introduction: Non-communicable diseases are the global disease burden of our time, with physical inactivity identified as one major risk factor. Green spaces are associated with increased physical activity of nearby residents. But there are still gaps in understanding which proximity and what characteristics of green spaces can trigger...journal article 2024

Wientjes, Carmen (author)In the urban and coastal region surrounding the Marmara Sea, a detachment between human life and the ocean is emerging that seems primarily caused by the consequences of post-industrial anthropogenic processes. The effects are seen in the form of a mucilage plague in the waters, posing a threat to marine life, and thereby emphasizing the urgent...master thesis 2023

Doan, Kevin (author)The 21st century has seen a significant increase in the global prevalence of mental health problems, affecting almost a billion people. These conditions not only reduce the quality of life for individuals but also lead to stigmatization, discrimination, and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated mental health issues,...master thesis 2023

Stam, Koen (author)Water is the elixir of life for London, the river Thames is the heart powering its growth. Although it has created the existence of London, it has mainly been the city that influenced the river in route, form and function aligning with their needs. There always has been a changing tension between city and river, a battle between the forces of...master thesis 2023

Driessen, Nienke (author)Creating a local model of a remote environment is a way to reduce latency in tactile internet. This local model contains properties that are estimated by a nonintrusive estimation method. To prevent the model from deviating increasingly from reality, the estimates should be updated once an interaction begins. This research paper investigates how...bachelor thesis 2023
