Die Niederländerin Doortje Kal ist Begründerin des Konzepts »Kwartiermaken « (nicht zu verwechseln mit der deutschen Quartiersarbeit = Stadtteilarbeit!). Ausgehend von philosophischen Grundlagen denkt sie darüber nach, wie die Gesellschaft gastfreundlicher werden kann für Menschen, die »anders« sind oder als anders empfunden werden. Es geht insbesondere um psychiatrie-erfahrene Menschen, kann jedoch auf andere ausgegrenzte Gruppen übertragen werden. Darüber hinaus entwickelte »Kwartiermaken« auch praktische Maßnahmen, um diese Gastfreundschaft zu fördern. Ein aktueller Ansatz also in Zeiten der Inklusionsdebatte. Sibylle Prins befragte Doortje Kal nach ihrem Konzept, das in dem Buch »Gastfreundschaft« (Neumünster, 2. Aufl. 2010) nachgelesen werden kann
Inspired by taxonomist Jack Goody’s theorizing of ‘ancient lists’ as ‘intellectual technologies’, this book analyzes listing practices in modern and contemporary formations of power, and how they operate in the installation and securing of the milieus of circulation that characterize Michel Foucault’s conception of governmentality. Propelling the list’s role in the delimitation and policing of risky and threatening elements from out of history and into a contemporary analysis of power, this work demonstrates how assemblages of computer, statistical, and list technologies first deployed by the Nazi regime continue to resonate significantly in the segmenting and constitution of a critical classification of contemporary homo sapiens: the terrorist class, or homo sacer.

Plant Breeders Rights were granted to Vandinter Semo BV on 29th December 2020 for the Andean Lupin variety COTOPAXI. COTOPAXI is result of cooperation between Vandinter Semo, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and the H2020 BBI-JU European research project LIBBIO. Andean Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis) has its origin in South America and is one of the four lupin species for human consumption. Andean Lupin is a sustainable alternative for soybean because of its comparable oil and protein content and its contribution to biodiversity and soil improvement. COTOPAXI is the first Andean Lupin variety in Europe that has been granted with Plant Breeder Rights. Andean lupin oil has excellent fatty acid composition and is therefore suited for food applications like margarines and mayonnaises and also for cosmetic applications, especially hair care products, lipsticks and nourishing anti-aging skin care products. Andean Lupin bean is also rich in proteins, oligosaccharides, alkaloids and bioactive components. Andean lupin proteins can be used as functional food ingredients and as animal feed. Oligosaccharides have functional food applications because of their fermentative (prebiotic) potential in the human large intestine. Alkaloids are of interest because of their medical potential as anti-cancer medicine and as biodegradable natural crop protection agents. Andean lupin bioactives are suited as ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics and in functional foods. Andean lupin contributes to the plant-based protein transition and to EU policy becoming more independent from foreign protein imports. Rob van Haren, Professor Transition Bioeconomy at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, says: “Andean Lupin is one of the “lost crops of the Incas” like quinoa and chia. Andean lupin grows in the same agro-ecozone as potato and has therefore a great areal potential. Andean lupin oil and protein contents are comparable with soybean and hence its business case has the same potential as well.” Rob van Haren together with other partners initiated in 2015 the H2020 research project LIBBIO for developing the Andean lupin supply chain and its biorefinery processing. This was made possible by an Andean lupin pre-breeding collection established by Kiemkracht, the innovation alliance from Product Board Arable Products and the Innovation Network of the Ministry of Agriculture. Bert-Jan van Dinter, director Vandinter Semo, says: “We have been active in plant breeding for more than a century, our company started in 1914. Our focus is to breed new varieties for soil improvement and soil health. We also breed for double-target crops for yield and soil improvement. We started our cooperation in 2008 first with Kiemkracht and later with Hanze UAS within the H2020 project LIBBIO. Obtaining Plant Breeder Rights in Europe within 5 years of research is unique. COTOPAXI is the first variety emerging from our new breeding program. In coming years we intend to breed for properties like sweetness (low alkaloids), earliness and crop yield”. The Andean lupin COTOPAXI contributes to farmer income, sustainable and circular agriculture, profitable processing and biorefinery and sustainable natural products for European consumers.

Bijna 40 procent van de huishoudens geeft aan dat zij moeilijk rondkomt (Nibud, 2018). Huishoudens met betalingsachterstanden hebben regelmatig te maken met incassoafdelingen en gerechtsdeurwaarders. Op dat moment is het van belang dat er een passende betalingsregeling wordt getroffen. Een zorgvuldige en verantwoorde incasso is ook een belangrijke pijler van de Brede schuldenaanpak. Tegelijkertijd zijn er aanwijzingen dat het geen vanzelfsprekendheid is dat schuldeisers inzetten op een betalingsregeling die de schuldenaar na kan komen.Doel In opdracht van het WODC willen we met dit onderzoek factoren die het tot stand komen van betalingsregelingen in de private markt belemmeren of juist bevorderen identificeren. Resultaten Dit onderzoek heeft geleid tot aanbevelingen over: het bevorderen van betalingsregelingen in de private sector en; hoe de Nederlandse wetgeving en het overheidsbeleid de totstandkoming van betalingsregelingen kan bevorderen. Looptijd 01 december 2019 - 30 juni 2020 Aanpak Het onderzoek geeft inzicht in de perspectieven van schuldeisers (desk research en interviews met de meest belangrijke schuldeisers), hulpverleners (observationele data van en interviews met sociale raadslieden) en de rechterlijke macht (desk research naar wettelijke kaders, jurisprudentie en interviews met rechters). Dit onderzoek hebben wij uitgevoerd in samenwerking met Panteia, Sociaal Werk Nederland en Landelijke Organisatie Sociaal Raadslieden. Impact op de beroepspraktijk Dit onderzoek geeft beleidsmakers handvaten over het bevorderen van betalingsregelingen. Het onderwijs en de beroepspraktijk krijgt inzicht in de factoren die de totstandkoming van betalingsregelingen beïnvloeden.
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and a significant contributor to work incapacity. Although effective therapeutic options are scarce, exercises supervised by a physiotherapist have shown to be effective. However, the effects found in research studies tend to be small, likely due to the heterogeneous nature of patients' complaints and movement limitations. Personalized treatment is necessary as a 'one-size-fits-all' approach is not sufficient. High-tech solutions consisting of motions sensors supported by artificial intelligence will facilitate physiotherapists to achieve this goal. To date, physiotherapists use questionnaires and physical examinations, which provide subjective results and therefore limited support for treatment decisions. Objective measurement data obtained by motion sensors can help to determine abnormal movement patterns. This information may be crucial in evaluating the prognosis and designing the physiotherapy treatment plan. The proposed study is a small cohort study (n=30) that involves low back pain patients visiting a physiotherapist and performing simple movement tasks such as walking and repeated forward bending. The movements will be recorded using sensors that estimate orientation from accelerations, angular velocities and magnetometer data. Participants complete questionnaires about their pain and functioning before and after treatment. Artificial analysis techniques will be used to link the sensor and questionnaire data to identify clinically relevant subgroups based on movement patterns, and to determine if there are differences in prognosis between these subgroups that serve as a starting point of personalized treatments. This pilot study aims to investigate the potential benefits of using motion sensors to personalize the treatment of low back pain. It serves as a foundation for future research into the use of motion sensors in the treatment of low back pain and other musculoskeletal or neurological movement disorders.
