Dossieronderzoek wijst uit dat het advies van de brandweer slechts beperkt wordt gebruikt bij de groepsrisicoverantwoording. In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op de oorzaken van dit beperkte gebruik. Daarbij ligt de focus op de interactie tussen de lokale overheid en de brandweerorganisatie. Afsluitend betogen de auteurs noodzakelijke veranderingen in de adviespraktijk van de brandweer die de effectiviteit van de advisering vergroten.

We zijn allemaal - meer of minder - bezig met verduurzaming. Elk op onze eigen manier. Maar: samen weten we veel meer dan alleen. De slimste aanpak is om als ondernemers, private en publieke partijen samen op te trekken. Dat was de centrale boodschap van het seminar Verduurzaming bedrijventerreinen dat Fontys op maandag 8 mei samen met VNO-NCW, PVB Nederland en provincie Utrecht organiseerde.
Size measurement plays an essential role for micro-/nanoparticle characterization and property evaluation. Due to high costs, complex operation or resolution limit, conventional characterization techniques cannot satisfy the growing demand of routine size measurements in various industry sectors and research departments, e.g., pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials and food industry etc. Together with start-up SeeNano and other partners, we will develop a portable compact device to measure particle size based on particle-impact electrochemical sensing technology. The main task in this project is to extend the measurement range for particles with diameters ranging from 20 nm to 20 um and to validate this technology with realistic samples from various application areas. In this project a new electrode chip will be designed and fabricated. It will result in a workable prototype including new UMEs (ultra-micro electrode), showing that particle sizing can be achieved on a compact portable device with full measuring range. Following experimental testing with calibrated particles, a reliable calibration model will be built up for full range measurement. In a further step, samples from partners or potential customers will be tested on the device to evaluate the application feasibility. The results will be validated by high-resolution and mainstream sizing techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Coulter counter.
Met de grote groei aan inwoners staat de stad Utrecht voor een flinke opgave voor woningbouw en verduurzaming van bestaande vastgoedvoorraad. Bij demontage komt veel materiaal vrij wat aanleiding is tot het lokaal organiseren van hergebruik in de stad. Om die reden heeft Utrecht een sterke beleidsfocus op het promoten van circulariteit middels samenwerking in de bouwketen.
This project extends the knowledge and scope of carbon footprinting in tourism. Currently, the carbon footprint of holidaymakers is available as time-series based on the CVO (Continue Vakantie Onderzoek) for the years 2002, 2005 and all between 2008 and 2018. For one year, 2009, a report has also been written about inbound tourism. The carbon footprint of business travel has not been determined, whereas there has been considerable interest throughout the years from businesses to assess and mitigate their travel footprints. There is also increasing policy attention for travel footprints. In 2018, a modified setup of the CVO caused the need to revise our statistical model and correction factors to be developed to counter the potential effects of a trend-breach. The project aimed to check and improve the current syntax for Dutch holidaymakers, adjust the one for inbound tourism, and develop a new one for Dutch business travel. The project output includes a report on the carbon footprint of Dutch holidaymakers for 2018, on inbound tourism for 2014, and on Dutch business travel for 2016, based on the CVO, inbound tourim dataset, and CZO. The project ends with a workshop with stakeholders to identify the way forward in tourism carbon footprinting in the Netherlands (tools, applications, etc.)Project partners: NRIT Research, NBTC-NIPO Research, CBS
