As the two prime examples of sport light, running and walking have become very popular sports activities in the past decades. There are references in the literature of similarities between both sports, however these parallels have never been studied. In addition, the current digitalisation of society can have important influences on the further diversification of profiles. Data of a large-scale population survey among runners and walkers (n = 4913) in Flanders (Belgium) were used to study their sociodemographic, sports related and attitudinal characteristics, and wearable usage. The results showed that walkers are more often female, older, lower educated, and less often use wearables. To predict wearable usage, sports-related and attitudinal characteristics are important among runners but not among walkers. Motivational variables to use wearables are important to predict wearable usage among both runners and walkers. Additionally, whether or not the runner or walker registers the heart rate is the most important predictor. The present study highlights similarities and differences between runners and walkers. By adding attitudinal characteristics and including walkers this article provides new insights to the literature, which can be used by policymakers and professionals in the field of sport, exercise and health, and technology developers to shape their services accordingly.

Mbo'ers gebruiken thuis, op school en op hun stage vaak onbewust een combinatie van allerlei verschillende talen, taalvariëteiten en registers. Zo hebben ze al heel wat meertalige ervaring opgedaan en meertalige competenties ontwikkeld. Daar kun je als docent je onderwijs op afstemmen. Maar dan moet je wel ween hoe de meertalige repertoires van mbo-studenten eruitzien. Hoe krijg je deze repertoires in beeld?

With information technologies becoming available on a growing scale, capturing large amounts of building information is becoming cheaper and economically viable. This is creating new challenges for real estate management organisations. Producing digital assets is one thing, managing them and knowing how to use them is another. The information management tasks and responsibilities of real estate management organisations therefore are becoming challenging and complex at the same time. Not in the least by the fact that in many situations, maintenance activities are outsourced to contractors and sub-contractors, creating maintenance networks. While building register information may be produced in the first place to fulfil the building owner’s needs, this research assumes building registers could also contribute to innovation in the greater maintenance network if the right form of data governance can be implemented. This paper, which is part of a larger research project, presents a research approach for investigating such governance designs for building registers. The approach is based on a qualitative research approach because it aims to address the stakeholders interests adequately and produce findings that are meaningful to all stakeholders for improving data governance in professional practice. Within a multiple case study methodology, an embedded case study design is presented that may provide a useful guide for researchers in this field. The proposed methodology will be used to conduct four in depth case studies. The intended outcome of this research is a theoretical framework that integrates data governance design factors with network innovation effects. It can be used to guide the design of (inter)organisational data governance programmes in maintenance networks.

The continuing aging of the population sparked off a public discussion on the extent of state care of elderly people. A historical evaluation of the Dutch system of family care is an essential part in the above discussion, especially regarding options like self-aid and 'mantelzorg'. Using population registers, household stutters of elderly people in the periode 1920-1940 were reconstructed for two different regions in the Netherlands. The most important conclusion of this investigation is that the Dutch elderly were, in most cases, living independently, as head (or wife of the head) of the household in which they were residing.

When everything is destined to be designed, design disappears into the everyday. We simply don’t see it anymore because it’s everywhere. This is the vanishing act of design. At this moment design registers its redundancy: our products, environments and services have been comprehensively improved. Everything has been designed to perfection and is under a permanent upgrade regime. Within such a paradigm, design is enmeshed with the capitalist logic of reproduction. But this does not come without conflicts, struggles and tensions. Chief among these is the situation of design in a planetary procession toward decay. Our dispense culture prompts a yearning for longevity. The computational compulsion to delete brings alive a desire to retrieve objects, ideas and experiences that refuse obsolescence. Society is growing more aware of sustainability and alert to the depletion of this world. For the ambitious designer, it’s time to take the next step: designing the future as a collective relation attuned to life.

This report is the final report for the FPGA accelerated PID controller, part of the Distributed Control Systems project. This project runs within the Lectoraat Robotics and High Tech Mechatronics of Fontys Hogeschool Engineering Eindhoven. The Lectoraat has the goal to develop applicable knowledge to support education and industry. This knowledge is acquired with projects run in conjunction with the industry. The report will go into detail for the software designed for this project, not the hardware design. This report is intended for follow up students working on the Distributed Control Systems project. Within this report the assumption is made that the reader is at least familiar with the terms EtherCAT, FPGA, Linux and PID controllers. However for each part a small basic introduction is included. For readers looking for the accomplishments in this project, the results are in chapter six. Following are short descriptions of the chapters in this report. The first chapter will give a short introduction to the project. It talks about why the project was conceived, where the project was done and what the expected end result is. The second chapter, the problem definition, talks about how the project has been defined, what is included and what is not and how the customer expects the final product to function and look like. The third chapter details the methodology used during this project. All the research preformed for this project will be described in the forth chapter. This chapter goes into the research into the Xilinx Zynq 7000 chip, Beckhoff's EtherCAT system, how the Serial Peripheral Interface works and how a PID controller functions. Following in chapter five the design is expanded upon. First the toolchain for building for the Zynq chip is explained. This is followed by and explanation of the different software parts that have been designed. Finally chapters six and seven provide the results and the conclusions and recommendations for this project.

Neighborhood image processing operations on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are considered as memory intensive operations. A large memory bandwidth is required to transfer the required pixel data from external memory to the processing unit. On-chip image buffers are employed to reduce this data transfer rate. Conventional image buffers, implemented either by using FPGA logic resources or embedded memories are resource inefficient. They exhaust the limited FPGA resources quickly. Consequently, hardware implementation of neighborhood operations becomes expensive, and integrating them in resource constrained devices becomes unfeasible. This paper presents a resource efficient FPGA based on-chip buffer architecture. The proposed architecture utilizes full capacity of a single Xilinx BlockRAM (BRAM36 primitive) for storing multiple rows of input image. To get multiple pixels/clock in a user defined scan order, an efficient duty-cycle based memory accessing technique is coupled with a customized addressing circuitry. This accessing technique exploits switching capabilities of BRAM to read 4 pixels in a single clock cycle without degrading system frequency. The addressing circuitry provides multiple pixels/clock in any user defined scan order to implement a wide range of neighborhood operations. With the saving of 83% BRAM resources, the buffer architecture operates at 278 MHz on Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA with an efficiency of 1.3 clock/pixel. It is thus capable to fulfill real time image processing requirements for HD image resolution (1080 × 1920) @103 fcps.

Het rapport ‘SJD in 2020’ biedt zicht op inhoudelijke trends en ontwikkelingen die voor functies in de SJD-beroepspraktijk relevant zijn. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd in opdracht van het Landelijk opleidingsoverleg Sociaal Juridische Dienstverlening (LOO SJD), door het lectoraat Legal management van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam en docent-onderzoekers van alle aan het LOO verbonden SJD-opleidingen. Het LOO volgt ontwikkelingen in de SJD-beroepspraktijk op de voet, om te borgen dat de opleiding blijft voldoen aan de eisen van het werkveld. In 2014 was het LOO daarom al eerder opdrachtgever voor het voorafgaande onderzoek SJD in beweging. In dit voorafgaande onderzoek stond het in kaart brengen van de omvang van de SJD-beroepspraktijk en de verschillende functies hierbinnen centraal. In dit vervolgonderzoek ligt de nadruk op inhoudelijke ontwikkelingen. Speciale aandacht bestond in het onderzoek voor een drietal thema’s: certificering en (kwaliteits- en beroeps)registers, de impact van digitalisering en het belang dat organisaties hechten aan het onderzoekend vermogen van SJD-professionals.
