More and more network interventions are developing at neighborhood level, with the aim of strengthening the network (in the neighborhood) of people with a disability. Some interventions are of a temporary nature, while others are structurally In this study, the various neighborhood-oriented network interventions are examined to discover what works well. With this information, more general guidelines can be set up for current and future social professionals on how to work on neighborhood networks for people with disabilities in an effective way. In this research project, various research methods, including social professionals, management, participants of the network interventions, neighbors, are involved to determine meaningful actions within each intervention. For the interviews with participants, we work together with experienced experts (People with disabilities, and participants of the interventions). These were trained by one of our research partners, to help both with the development of the research tools as well as conducting the interviews. In this presentation we want to exchange our experiences in cooperating with experienced experts on research.

The labour market for experts through experience is growing. They work at client organizations and with increasing frequency at mental health care facilities and training institutes as well. This requires training and curricula for experts through experience. The author describes as an exemplary case the curricula developed for them at Fontys Professional University 'Socials Studies' and the positions which these courses qualify people for. He formulates the building blocks included in the curricula, as well as important moments within the process of building up expertise through experience. He focuses on the impact of this development on the courses of study for professionals and describes the desirability of further integration of this type of training into mainstream social work education

Decennialang hebben onderzoekers uitgezocht hoe je een expert wordt. De vragen hierbij waren hoe je een briljante natuurkundige wordt, de alleswetende advocaat, de financieel specialist die snel en accuraat data analyseert, of de chef-kok die sublieme gerechten maakt. De laatste jaren buigen mensen zich echter steeds meer over de vraag hoe je een expert blijft, want wat je moet weten en kunnen, verandert voortdurend. Hoe word je een flexibele expert, iemand die zichzelf steeds weer weet te vernieuwen? Dit behelst een proces van continu aanpassen in een omgeving die experts een voedingsbodem en vangnet biedt om flexibel te kunnen en willen zijn. Dan krijg je flexperts die steeds weer nieuwe expertise ontwikkelen binnen en buiten hun oorspronkelijke vakgebied en dit van waarde maken voor anderen en voor zichzelf. Deze ‘flexpertise’ maakt de loopbanen van experts duurzaam. In dit artikel leggen we uit wat iemand tot een (fl)expert maakt en geven we tien tips voor het ontwikkelen van flexpertise.

Risk matrices have been widely used in the industry under the notion that risk is a product of likelihood by severity of the hazard or safety case under consideration. When reliable raw data are not available to feed mathematical models, experts are asked to state their estimations. This paper presents two studies conducted in a large European airline and partially regarded the weighting of 14 experienced pilots’ judgment though software, and the calculation of agreement amongst 10 accident investigators when asked to assess the worst outcome, most credible outcome and risk level for 12 real events. According to the results, only 4 out of the 14 pilots could be reliably used as experts, and low to moderate agreement amongst the accident investigators was observed.

Food additives (E-numbers) are allowed in foods, but many consumers have a negative perception of them. The objective was to study the opinion of food experts about the causes and ways to reduce consumer distrust about E-numbers. Thirteen food experts from universities, research institutes, the government, food industry organisations, media, a nutrition information organisation, a consumer association and two other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were interviewed with a semi-structured topic list, based on a model of risk perception. Interviews were transcribed, coded by an open-coding approach and analysed. Results indicated that, according to food experts, consumer distrust of E-numbers arose from negative communication by traditional media, social media and books. Food experts suggested that the information sources and the reliability of E-number information are important for consumers. Food experts also suggested reducing consumer distrust by avoiding negative label claims and making collective agreements with all parties about honest and transparent communication. According to interviewed food experts, food companies need to explain clearly and honestly why they use E-numbers in food. A nutrition information organisation and the government were often mentioned as appropriate parties to undertake action. The interviews suggested that consumers had no confidence in the food industry.

Hoe je het fenomeen dakloosheid ook typeert, één ding staat buiten kijf: het inspireert steeds meer tot actie. De troosteloze internaten en werkverschaffingsarbeid bestaan nog steeds. Maar ze raken, samen met de soepbussen en de stapelbedden van de nachtverblijven, overspoeld door tal van nieuwe iniatieven. In Helmond verkopen daklozen zelfgemaakt kinderspeelgoed, in Rotterdam worden ze tot funky-fantasiemeubelmakers opgeleid, in Den Haag vinden ze een betaalde baan in het gemeenteplantsoen en in Utrecht verdienen ze brood in hun eigen opvangproject. En overal krijgen ze les in ‘rijtjeshuiswonen.’ Experts van de straat voert u niet alleen langs bemoeizorg, survivalweekends en zorgsupermarkten, maar probeert ook de nieuwe trends te plaatsen. Zo lijkt de dakloze van nu weinig meer op de aloude alcoholische zwerver en in de opvang steeds meer gericht op herintegratie in onze mooie welvaartsmaatschappij. Maar is het een antwoord op het ander? Wijst de hausse in sociale pensions die alleen maar bed, bad en brood leveren, niet veeleer op een toenemend aantal definitieve afhakers? Of zijn het barakwonen in Zwolle en het heringevoerde daglonerschap in Rotterdam voorboden en is de maatschappij toe aan een herdefinitie van haar normen voor werken en wonen?

Vertical urbanisation is perceived as necessary to accommodate a growing population but is associated with severe risks for human well-being. It requires a profound understanding of how archi-tectural designs can ensure visually readable and liveable environments before it has been built. How-ever, current digital representation techniques fail to address the diverse interests of non-experts. Emerging biometric technologies may deliver the missing user information to involve (future) inhabit-ants at different stages of the planning process. The study aims to gain insight into how non-experts (visually) experience 3D city visualizations of designed urban areas. In two laboratory studies, univer-sity students were randomly assigned to view a set of the same level of detail images from one of two planned urban area developments in the Netherlands. Using eye-tracking technology, the visual behav-iour metrics of fixation count and duration and general eye-movement patterns were recorded for each image, followed by a short survey. The results show how visual behaviour and perception are remark-ably similar across different detail levels, implying that 3D visualizations of planned urban develop-ments can be examined by non-experts much earlier in the design process than previously thought.

A large body of research has described the influence of context information on forensic decision-making. In this study, we examined the effect of context information on the search for and selection of traces by students (N = 36) and crime scene investigators (N = 58). Participants investigated an ambiguous mock crime scene and received prior information indicating suicide, a violent death or no information. Participants described their impression of the scene and wrote down which traces they wanted to secure. Results showed that con- text information impacted first impression of the scene and crime scene behavior, namely number of traces secured. Participants in the murder condition secured most traces. Furthermore, the students secured more crime-related traces. Students were more confident in their first impres- sion. This study does not indicate that experts outperform novices. We therefore argue for proper training on cognitive processes as an integral part of all forensic education.
