Belevingsgerichte begeleiding is een vorm van begeleiden waarbij de gevoelens van de client en diens hulpvraag centraal staan. Het is een methode die wordt toegepast in diverse werkvelden, zoals de thuiszorg, de zorg voor verstandelijk gehandicapte mensen (snoezelen), maar ook binnen kinderdagverblijven en peuterspeelzalen en in de ouderenzorg. In dit leerpakket staat de belevingsgerichte begeleiding van demente ouderen centraal, waarbij de nadruk ligt op het oefenen van diverse vaardigheden, zoals aansluiten bij de beleving, herkennen van de fasen van verwardheid, afstemmen op het favoriete zintuig en verscheidene nonverbale technieken.
In het kader van een interne cursus ‘Kwalitatieve onderzoeksvaardigheden’ ben ik begonnen met dit onderzoek. De hoofdvraag is: Zouden studenten met een naaste met psychische problemen hun familie ervaringen willen benutten in het kader van hun beroepsopleiding SPH en zo ja op welke manier?
In 'Sociotherapie' staat het methodisch werken met groepen voorop. Dit leerpakket bereidt de student voor op het begeleiden van groepen, groepsgesprekken en groepsactiviteiten. Daarnaast biedt het de mogelijkheid kennis te nemen van belangrijke theorieen en begrippen in de sociotherapie. Het geeft de student de gelegenheid te oefenen in situaties en taken die in een sociotherapeutisch milieu geregeld voorkomen en het bereidt de student voor op de hoofdkenmerken van de krachten die het sociotherapeutisch milieu bepalen: de inbreng van de clienten, sociotherapeuten en afdelingsleiding.
Electrohydrodynamic Atomization (EHDA), also known as Electrospray (ES), is a technology which uses strong electric fields to manipulate liquid atomization. Among many other areas, electrospray is currently used as an important tool for biomedical applications (droplet encapsulation), water technology (thermal desalination and metal recovery) and material sciences (nanofibers and nano spheres fabrication, metal recovery, selective membranes and batteries). A complete review about the particularities of this technology and its applications was recently published in a special edition of the Journal of Aerosol Sciences [1]. Even though EHDA is already applied in many different industrial processes, there are not many controlling tools commercially available which can be used to remotely operate the system as well as identify some spray characteristics, e.g. droplet size, operational mode, droplet production ratio. The AECTion project proposes the development of an innovative controlling system based on the electrospray current, signal processing & control and artificial intelligence to build a non-visual tool to control and characterize EHDA processes.
The AR in Staged Entertainment project focuses on utilizing immersive technologies to strengthen performances and create resiliency in live events. In this project The Experiencelab at BUas explores this by comparing live as well as pre-recorded events that utilize Augmented Reality technology to provide an added layer to the experience of the user. Experiences will be measured among others through observational measurements using biometrics. This projects runs in the Experience lab of BUas with partners The Effenaar and 4DR Studio and is connected to the networks and goals related to Chronosphere, Digireal and Makerspace. Project is powered by Fieldlab Events (PPS / ClickNL)..
The postdoc candidate, Giuliana Scuderi, will strengthen the connection between the research group Biobased Buildings (BB), (collaboration between Avans University of Applied Sciences and HZ University of Applied Sciences (HZ), and the Civil Engineering bachelor programme (CE) of HZ. The proposed research aims at deepening the knowledge about the mechanical properties of biobased materials for the application in the structural and infrastructural sectors. The research is relevant for the professional field, which is looking for safe and sustainable alternatives to traditional building materials (such as lignin asphalt, biobased panels for bridge constructions, etc.). The study of the mechanical behaviour of traditional materials (such as concrete and steel) is already part of the CE curriculum, but the ambition of this postdoc is that also BB principles are applied and visible. Therefore, from the first year of the programme, the postdoc will develop a biobased material science line and will facilitate applied research experiences for students, in collaboration with engineering and architectural companies, material producers and governmental bodies. Consequently, a new generation of environmentally sensitive civil engineers could be trained, as the labour market requires. The subject is broad and relevant for the future of our built environment, with possible connections with other fields of study, such as Architecture, Engineering, Economics and Chemistry. The project is also relevant for the National Science Agenda (NWA), being a crossover between the routes “Materialen – Made in Holland” and “Circulaire economie en grondstoffenefficiëntie”. The final products will be ready-to-use guidelines for the applications of biobased materials, a portfolio of applications and examples, and a new continuous learning line about biobased material science within the CE curriculum. The postdoc will be mentored and supervised by the Lector of the research group and by the study programme coordinator. The personnel policy and job function series of HZ facilitates the development opportunity.
