Het bekende Amazon recept van "anderen die dit boek bestelden, kochten ook..." wordt ook steeds populairder voor persoonlijke verzamelingen van bookmarks: "anderen die dit artikel of deze website bookmarkten, vonden ook..." Zet je bookmarks online, op je naam of onder pseudoniem. Importeren vanuit Explorer of Firefox is geen probleem. En met iin klik kun je grasduinen door de verzamelingen van gelijkgeonteresseerden. De kans dat je kwalitatief goede bronnen vind is daardoor groot, en op basis van een annotatie, trefwoord of waarderingsscore kun je snel scannen of er iets voor je bij zit. Vergelijk dat eens met de zoekresultaten van bijvoorbeeld Google waarbij je zelf telkens het kaf weer van het koren moet scheiden. Social bookmarks: hoe werkt het precies, en wat kan dit betekenen voor het Hoger Onderwijs?
Diversity implies variety. Diversity refers to the differences between people. Visible aspects – such as age, skin colour, gender, disability – and less or non-visible aspects such as cultural and social background, skills and competencies, and style of working. If you can handle diversity, you will be able to handle different kinds of people. The concept of ‘equality’ can be seen as opposite from the concept of ‘diversity’. Dutch society can be characterized as a culture of equality. Due to increasing diversity it is argued this culture of equality will eventually turn out to be unfavourable. A culture of diversity is reasoned to be an inevitable alternative. A first exploration of the characteristics of such a culture and its significance for the work of the Social Worker is being done at present.
The project tries to promote social inclusion by engaging different groups of young adults in a variety of cultural activities.Cultural activities such as visiting a museum or attending a theatre show more often act as a marker of social boundaries than as an invitation for social interaction. To reverse the resulting social fragmentation, members of separate ‘bubbles’ have to share time, place, content, and experience.For cultural activities, this means bringing in as well as emotionally engaging both frequent and infrequent visitors in joint experiences. In this project we measured how frequent and infrequent young adult visitors experience cultural activities, as well as their overall post-experience evaluations. Measuring experiences of participants both inside and outside the cultural ‘bubble’ is needed to understand a) how social group membership affects emotional engagement and b) how to develop policy to promote social interaction and to broaden social inclusion amongst young people.Partners: Tilburg University, Stichting Cultuurmarketing, Theaters Tilburg en Rotterdam, Museum Groningen
English: This living lab aims to support the creation, development and implementation of next generation concepts for sustainable healthcare logistics, with special attention for last mile solutions. Dutch healthcare providers are on the verge of a transition towards (more) sustainable business models, spurred by e.g., increasing healthcare costs, ongoing budget cuts, tight labor market conditions and increasing ecological awareness. Consequently, healthcare providers need to improve and innovate their business model and underlying logistics concept(s). Simultaneously, many cities are struggling with congestion in traffic, air quality and liveability in general. This calls for Last Mile Logistics (LML) concepts that can address challenges like effective and efficient resource planning, scheduling and utilization and, particularly, sustainability goals. LML can reduce environmental and social impact by decreasing emissions, congestion and pollution through effectively consolidating in-flows of goods and providing innovative solutions for care, wellbeing and related services. The research and initiatives in the living lab will address the following challenges: reducing the ecological footprint, reducing (healthcare-related) costs, improving service quality, decreasing loneliness of frail citizens and improving the livability of urban areas (reducing congestion and emissions). Given the scarcity and fragmentation of knowledge on healthcare logistics in organizations the living lab will also act as a learning community for (future) healthcare- and logistics professionals, thereby supporting the development of human capital. By working closely with related stakeholders and using a transdisciplinary research approach it is ensured that the developed knowledge and solutions deliver a contribution to societal challenges and have sound business potential.
