Bijdrage aan tentoonstelling Qua Art - Qua Science. Kunstenaars brengen ruimtes op een eigen manier middels kleur, textuur en vorm in beeld. Met hun kunstwerken weten zij gedachten en gevoelens op te roepen bij de aandachtige kijker. Bij het concept ambient intelligence gaat eveneens om de ruimte, maar dan als slimme omgeving. Een ruimte die opmerkzaam is op de aanwezigheid van mensen en in kan gaan op hun wensen en behoeften. In het kort beschrijft Henk van Leeuwen, lector Ambient Intelligence bij het Saxion Kenniscentrum Design en Technologie hoe de mens in de loop van de eeuwen zijn leefruimte heeft aangepast en hoe een slimme omgeving kan reageren op mensen. Het begrip slim wordt onder de loep genomen evenals de technologie die dit mogelijk maakt en roept vragen op als “Hoe ervaren mensen de “intelligente” omgeving en welke ethische dilemma’s dienen zich aan?”

This research paper looks at a selection of science-fiction films and its connection with the progression of the use of television, telephone and print media. It also analyzes statistical data obtained from a questionnaire conducted by the research group regarding the use of communication media.
This review of meta-analyses of outcome studies of adults receiving Computer-Based Health Education (CBHE) has two goals. The first is to provide an overview of the efficacy of CBHE interventions, and the second is to identify moderators of these effects. A systematic literature search resulted in 15 meta-analyses of 278 controlled outcome studies. The meta-analyses were analysed with regard to reported (overall) effect sizes, heterogeneity and interaction effects. The results indicate a positive relationship between CBHE interventions and improvements in health-related outcomes, with small overall effect sizes compared to non-computer-based interventions. The sustainability of the effects was observed for up to six months. Outcome moderators (31 variables) were studied in 12 meta-analyses and were clustered into three categories: intervention features (20 variables), participant characteristics (five variables) and study features (six variables). No relationship with effectiveness was found for four intervention features, theoretical background, use of internet and e-mail, intervention setting and self-monitoring; two participant features, age and gender; and one study feature, the type of analysis. Regarding the other 24 identified features, no consistent results were observed across meta-analyses. To enhance the effectiveness of CBHE interventions, moderators of effects should be studied as single constructs in high-quality study designs. http://www.journalofinterdisciplinarysciences.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/leontienvreeburg/
