3This manual presents a framework and accompanying tools designed to
support designers and other stakeholders in finding new and meaningful
applications for waste streams. When new products are designed from
discarded products, components, or materials with a different function, we
call this Repurpose.
Previous research by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences into
Repurpose Driven Design and Manufacturing revealed that no methods or tools existed to support designing with waste streams, while it also became
clear that there was a demand for such tools among companies and
designers. Therefore, these tools have been developed in collaboration with
partners.
This manual first provides a brief introduction to repurpose and the
developed tools. It then explains the steps that can be taken in a design
process where a waste stream is the starting point. Next, the methodology
for each tool is discussed. Finally, you will find printable versions of the files,
so you can start working with them yourself.

BACKGROUND: Current evidence shows that manual therapy elicits analgesic effect in different populations (healthy, pain inflicted and patients with musculoskeletal pain) when carried out at the spinal column, although the clinical significance of these effects remains unclear. Also the analgesic effects of manual therapy on peripheral joints have not been systematically reviewed. METHODS: A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA-guidelines. Manual therapy was defined as any manual induced articular motion with the aim of inducing analgesic effects. Outcome measure was pain threshold. RESULTS: A total of 13 randomized trials were included in the review. In 10 studies a significant effect was found. Pressure pain thresholds increased following spinal or peripheral manual techniques. In three studies both a local and widespread analgesic effect was found. No significant effect was found on thermal pain threshold. DISCUSSION: Moderate evidence indicated that manual therapy increased local pressure pain thresholds in musculoskeletal pain, immediately following the intervention. No consistent result was found on remote pressure pain threshold. No significant changes occured on thermal pain threshold values. The clinical relevance of these effects remains contradictory and therefore unclear.

Bitter gourd is also called sopropo, balsam-pear, karela or bitter melon and is a member of the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae). It is a monoecious, annual, fast-growing and herbaceous creeping plant. The wrinkled fruit of the bitter gourd is consumed as a vegetable and medicine in Asia, East Africa, South America and India. The aim of this bitter gourd cultivation manual is to make this cultivation accessible to Dutch growers and in this way be able to meet market demand. In addition, this cultivation manual aims to provide insight into the standardized production of the medicinal ingredients in the fruit.

The Technical Manual for the digital evaluation tool QualiTePE supports users of the QualiTePE tool in creating, conducting and analysing evaluations to record the quality of teaching in physical education. The information on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) instructs users on how to anonymise the data collection of evaluations and which legal bases apply with regard to the collection of personal data. The technical manual for the digital evaluation tool QualiTePE and the information on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Slovenian, Czech and Greek.

Background: Health care practitioners' knowledge and attitudes influence patients’ beliefs and health outcomes in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. It is unclear to what extent physiotherapists undertaking a postgraduate master in manual therapy (MT students) possess the knowledge and attitudes toward pain neuroscience to be able to apply the biopsychosocial model in patients with MSK pain. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward pain neuroscience in MT students. Design: A cross-sectional study. Method: Self-reported knowledge and attitudes were measured among students (n = 662) at baseline and in all years of the MT postgraduate programs in the Netherlands. The Knowledge and Attitudes of Pain questionnaire (KNAP) was used as a primary measure. Difference in KNAP-scores between baseline (0), year 1, year 2 and year 3 was tested using a one-way ANOVA (hypothesis: 0 < 1

People living with dementia need flexible care to maximise their independence, enabling them to respond to their changing needs at different points in time. At present, care is either limited at home or all-encompassing in an establishment. CASCADE is the abbreviation of Community Areas of Sustainable Care And Dementia Excellence in Europe. The CASCADE model aims to provide the means for people living with dementia to remain integrated within the community, living the life that they wish with the support they want. The model creates a “home” for the residents and the approach to staffing reflects this. The CASCADE model offers a financially sustainable approach for people living with dementia that can be replicated across Europe. It pursues a strengths based approach to holistic person centred care to maximise independence and quality of life in the community. Technological solutions are utilised to support people to be as independent as possible and new facilities allow for the exploration of a tourism offer to a currently excluded group. Co-creation is a key enabler of the CASCADE model and ensures that it can be tailored to local cultural demands and financial and infrastructural constraints. It also creates a culture where questions are encouraged and solutions sought together. The CASCADE model was developed as part of a funded Interreg 2 Seas project. The aim of this manual is to inspire people who work with people with dementia to maximise independence and quality of life for people living with dementia. The manual starts with the development of the CASCADE model, which started in June 2017 with a visit to ZorgSaam in Terneuzen (the Netherlands) and a visit to Emmaus elderly care (Belgium) in September 2017. The development of the model is still ongoing and will continue due to changes and developments in society. The CASCADE model consist of five fundaments that represents the vision of the model. These fundaments are described in the second chapter. To translate the fundaments into actual practice there are six components of the model, these are described in the third chapter. The fourth chapter describes the location of the four delivery sites who are rolling out the model. The implementation of the model is not without challenges. Every partner, from different countries and different practices, has encountered challenges to put the model into practice. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some things have also been approached differently than initially thought, or things have been delayed because the restrictions did not allow to further roll out actions. The last chapter lists some tools that an organisation can use to implement a CASCADE-based facility.

Description of a new hand/palm-held computerized 3D force measuring system. The system is built for interface (direct) measurement of 3D manual contact force with real-time data presentation. Static calibration was performed of the 3D force sensor with variable preloads to study their effect as well of the prototype system adapted for clinical manual examination and treatment. The new system enables, for the first time, recording and presenting of 3D manual contact forces at the patient-practitioner interface. 3D direct manual contact force measures have the potential to give a more complete and differentiated characterization of patient and practitioner forces than 1D forces. Clinical validity of the prototype system will have to be investigated, and for studying specific clinical manual handling techniques, obvious limitations require further development.
