Hanze MAG-podcast Q&A door dummies S01E03.Van AI hebben onze dummies ‘bizar weinig’ verstand, maar ze zijn er wel heel nieuwsgierig naar. Hanze-lector Rix Groenboom weet er alles van, dus hoog tijd om flink wat vragen op hem af te vuren.Van schaakcomputer tot ChatGPT, in ruim twintig is AI razendsnel geëvolueerd, maar nooit is er meer aandacht voor geweest als het afgelopen jaar. Dankzij vooral ChatGPT maakt de hele wereld nu ineens kennis met alle mogelijkheden die AI biedt.Maar wat is nu eigenlijk AI? Waarom is een rekenmachine geen AI, maar een chatbot wel? Hoe voed je AI op? Hoe herkent ie fake news? Wat is een Large Language Model (LLM)? Hoe maak je onderscheid tussen AI-content en door mensen gemaakte content? En moeten we ons zorgen maken over de snelheid waarmee AI zich momenteel ontwikkelt? Wat is Q&A door dummies?Weten dat je iets niet weet is het begin van wijsheid… Wat dat betreft zijn onze hosts/dummies Maikel en Mattheüs al heel wijs. Ze weten heel goed dat ze niets weten, maar ze laten het er niet bij zitten!Elke maand interviewen ze een nieuwe expert, niet gehinderd door enige kennis van zaken. Maar wel met grenzeloze nieuwsgierigheid en een goede dosis humor. Daarnaast behandelen ze kijkersvragen die jij – ja jij! – kan insturen door een dm (of mailtje) te sturen naar één van de socials van HanzeMag.Onze experts komen uit allerlei vakgebieden en kunnen onderzoekers, lectoren, docenten, ondernemers, politici, dictators, banketbakkers, ervaringsdeskundigen en/of fulltime helpdeskmedewerkers zijn. Ben je nieuwsgierig maar hou je niet van suffe colleges? Zoek je een amusante en informatieve show om een half uurtje mee te vullen? Zoek niet verder, dit is… Q&A door Dummies!Presentatie: Maikel van Duinen & Mattheüs DouwesBeeld: Bas SwavingGeluid: Cazism

Podcast door HanzeMag.Plastic maken uit bacteriën: het klinkt bijna te mooi om waar te zijn, maar het kan echt. hoe dan? Hanze-lector Janneke Krooneman legt het uit aan onze dummies!Wat is bioplastic? En hoe krijg je bacteriën zo gek dat ze plastic gaan vormen? Janneke weet precies hoe je bacteriën ’temt’: je laat ze heel veel eten tot ze obese zijn. En zoals mensen eten opslaan als vet, slaan bacteriën het op als plastic, dus al die dikke bacteriën bij elkaar vormen een prachtig biologisch plastic.Om het nog wat concreter te maken heeft Janneke ook enkele producten meegenomen die gemaakt zijn van bioplastic, zoals festivalbekers en lego, dus kijk ook vooral de videoversie van deze podcast, zodat je kunt zien hoe weinig het verschilt van ‘gewoon’ plastic.Presentatie: Maikel van Duinen & Mattheüs DouwesBeeld: Bas SwavingGeluid: Cazism

Op 11 mei 2023 kwamen 32 medewerkers van agrarische collectieven, terreinbeherende organisaties (TBO’s), vrijwilligers vogelwachten en boeren bijeen om te praten over de rol van beweiding in het weidevogelbeheer. Voor deze bijeenkomst waren zij te gast op het melkveebedrijf van de familie Meindertsma in Wyns. De familie heeft een grote passie voor weidevogels en het weidevogelbeheer vormt een integraal onderdeel van hun bedrijfsvoering. Naast percelen met rustperiode, plasdras, kuikenstroken, proberen ze zoveel mogelijk gebruik te maken van weidegang door dag en nacht te weiden, mits het weer het toelaat. Het weidevogelbeheer voeren ze uit in samenwerking met het agrarisch collectief Noardlike Fryske Wâlden.

ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the associations between individual chronic diseases and multidimensional frailty comprising physical, psychological, and social frailty. Methods: Dutch individuals (N = 47,768) age ≥ 65 years completed a general health questionnaire sent by the Public Health Services (response rate of 58.5 %), including data concerning self-reported chronic diseases, multidimensional frailty, and sociodemographic characteristics. Multidimensional frailty was assessed with the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI). Total frailty and each frailty domain were regressed onto background characteristics and the six most prevalent chronic diseases: diabetes mellitus, cancer, hypertension, arthrosis, urinary incontinence, and severe back disorder. Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of combinations of these six diseases. Results: The six chronic diseases had medium and strong associations with total ((f2 = 0.122) and physical frailty (f2 = 0.170), respectively, and weak associations with psychological (f2 = 0.023) and social frailty (f2 = 0.008). The effects of the six diseases on the frailty variables differed strongly across diseases, with urinary incontinence and severe back disorder impairing frailty most. No synergetic effects were found; the effects of a disease on frailty did not get noteworthy stronger in the presence of another disease. Conclusions: Chronic diseases, in particular urinary incontinence and severe back disorder, were associated with frailty. We thus recommend assigning different weights to individual chronic diseases in a measure of multimorbidity that aims to examine effects of multimorbidity on multidimensional frailty. Because there were no synergetic effects of chronic diseases, the measure does not need to include interactions between diseases.

Purpose – In the domain of healthcare, both process efficiency and the quality of care can be improved through the use of dedicated pervasive technologies. Among these applications are so-called real-time location systems (RTLS). Such systems are designed to determine and monitor the location of assets and people in real time through the use of wireless sensor networks. Numerous commercially available RTLS are used in hospital settings. The nursing home is a relatively unexplored context for the application of RTLS and offers opportunities and challenges for future applications. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This paper sets out to provide an overview of general applications and technologies of RTLS. Thereafter, it describes the specific healthcare applications of RTLS, including asset tracking, patient tracking and personnel tracking. These overviews are followed by a forecast of the implementation of RTLS in nursing homes in terms of opportunities and challenges. Findings – By comparing the nursing home to the hospital, the RTLS applications for the nursing home context that are most promising are asset tracking of expensive goods owned by the nursing home in orderto facilitate workflow and maximise financial resources, and asset tracking of personal belongings that may get lost due to dementia. Originality/value – This paper is the first to provide an overview of potential application of RTLS technologies for nursing homes. The paper described a number of potential problem areas that can be addressed by RTLS.

This text has become a performance of (affirmative) entrepreneurship. This is done by a set of writing (and methodological) techniques: autoethnography, the triptych of mimesis, poiesis, kinesis and a life journey that forms the base of the chapter. As such, this text challenges some well-known shortcomings of entrepreneurship research such as being enacted by a distant observer/writer, decontextualized accounts of entrepreneurship and disregard of creativity and playfulness. The main contribution of the chapter is methodological, in its broadest sense (Steyaert, 2011): I propose autoethnography as “more than method” for engaging with processes of (affirmative) Entrepreneuring that speak to the increased attention for narrativity and playfulness in entrepreneurship (see for example Hjorth, 2017: Hjorth and Steyaert, 2004: Gartner, 2007; Johannisson, 2011). The autoethnographic story offers an engaging and relevant account of the practice of entrepreneurship and provides rich emic insight into the socio-materiality of lived experience. It also highlights the temporality of entrepreneurship – both in terms of chronos (continuous flow of time) and Kairos (taking advantage of the “right moment”) (Johannisson, 2011). And as I continue performing affirmations, I am curious how you are Entrepreneuring your life – tell me. This is a draft chapter/article. The final version is available in Research Handbook on Entrepreneurial Behavior, Practice and Process edited by William B. Gartner and Bruce T. Teague, published in 2020, Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788114523

ABSTRACT It is unknown whether heterogeneity in effects of self-management interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be explained by differences in programme characteristics. This study aimed to identify which characteristics of COPD self-management interventions are most effective. Systematic search in electronic databases identified randomised trials on self-management interventions conducted between 1985 and 2013. Individual patient data were requested for meta-analysis by generalised mixed effects models. 14 randomised trials were included (67% of eligible), representing 3282 patients (75% of eligible). Univariable analyses showed favourable effects on some outcomes for more planned contacts and longer duration of interventions, interventions with peer contact, without log keeping, without problem solving, and without support allocation. After adjusting for other programme characteristics in multivariable analyses, only the effects of duration on all-cause hospitalisation remained. Each month increase in intervention duration reduced risk of all-cause hospitalisation (time to event hazard ratios 0.98, 95% CI 0.97–0.99; risk ratio (RR) after 6 months follow-up 0.96, 95% CI 0.92–0.99; RR after 12 months follow-up 0.98, 95% CI 0.96–1.00). Our results showed that longer duration of self-management interventions conferred a reduction in allcause hospitalisations in COPD patients. Other characteristics are not consistently associated with differential effects of self-management interventions across clinically relevant outcomes.

Children’s motor competence (MC) has declined in the past decades, while sedentary behavior (SB) has increased. This study examined the association between MC and physical activity (PA) levels among primary schoolchildren. Demographics, body height and weight, MC (Athletic Skills Track), and PA levels (ActiGraph, GT3X+) were assessed among 595 children (291 boys, mean age = 9.1 years, SD = 1.1). MC was standardized into five categories: from very low to very high. PA levels were classified into SB, light PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Mixed-model analyses were conducted with PA levels as dependent variables and MC as the independent variable, while adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) z-score on the individual level. A negative association between MC and SB and a positive association between MC and MVPA were found. The strength of both associations increased as children expressed lower or higher levels of MC. MC is an important correlate of both SB and MVPA, particularly for children with very high or low MC. Developing and improving children’s MC may contribute to spending less time in SB and more time in MVPA, particularly for high-risk groups, i.e., children with low MC. Moreover, addressing MC development and PA promotion simultaneously might create positive feedback loops for both children’s MC and PA levels.

The importance of leadership is increasingly recognized in relation to digital transformation. Therefore, middle management and top management must have the competencies required to lead such a transformation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the digital leader competencies as set out by the European e-competence framework (e-CF) and the digital transformation of organizations. Also, the relationship between digital leadership competency (DLC) and IT capability is examined. An empirical investigation is presented based on a sample of 433 respondents, analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results strongly support our hypotheses. DLC has a strong impact on organizational digital transformation. A post-hoc analysis showed this is predominantly the case for the e-CF competencies of business plan development, architecture design, and innovating while business change management and governance do not seem to affect organizational digital transformation. This is the first empirical study to conceptualize, operationalize and validate the concept of DLC, based on the e-competence framework, and its impact on digital transformation. These findings have significant implications for researchers and practitioners working on the transformation toward a digital organization.
