This article explores the ongoing work associated with the masterclasses "Towards an Inclusive Living Environment." It critically examines the concept of healthy living for all and aging in place by studying neighborhoods within Dutch cities. The article argues that creating inclusive, healthy environments fosters well-being and promotes a lifestyle of health and autonomy for all. Next to literature studies, we worked with our students in different neighborhoods of The Hague, conducting ethnographic research. Throu [...]

People with severe intellectual disability and blindness tend to perform only simple occupational activities and are mostly unable to transition between those activities. This inability makes their level of occupation independent of staff support fairly limited. Technology-aided programs may be one of the few opportunities available to increase their independent occupation. This study assessed one such program designed to (a) monitor the participants’ responses and guide them to transition to a new activity once th [...]

Across the globe, countries are facing an ageing boom, with the proportion of the older adult population growing compared to younger age groups because of increased life expectancy and declining birth rates. Along with the ageing boom, there is increased interest in the wellbeing of older adults. Healthy ageing and social frailty are two constructs that have emerged in studying older adults and their quality of life. In this paper, we critically review salient literature defining and describing healthy ageing and s [...]

The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...]

To date, all large-scale randomized controlled trials for COVID-19 vaccines have excluded solid organ transplant recipients; therefore, the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing coronavirus infection using COVID-19 vaccines in patients with heart transplants have not been sufficiently studied. This paper presents the characteristics of humoral and cellular immunity in heart transplant recipients following vaccination against coronavirus infection. The study group consisted of 40 patients who u [...]

Adolescent depression is linked to suicidal ideation and attempts. Nurses are well-positioned to deliver brief, supportive interventions. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes solutions and the activation of personal resources. To describe the feasibility and clinical utility of SFBT, delivered alongside pharmacotherapy, for reducing suicide risk in an adolescent with depression. Single-case report using a nursing process approach in a 17-year-old female inpatient with a major depressive episode and high [...]

International students represent a significant sojourner group. Increasing international student numbers makes it ever more relevant to understand the determinants of their psychological adaptation. This research investigates the question of how perceived cultural distance (PCD) impacts acculturation variables (social contact with host nationals and host national identity) and outcomes such as saudade and life satisfaction among African international students. The sample comprised 422 college students (195 from Ang [...]

Enteropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, like the serotype O157:H7, can cause significant health issues if consumed. Milk and dairy products can serve as a reservoir for the bacteria. Dissemination of multidrug-resistant E. coli through dairy products can become a potential health hazard if consumed. The present study investigates the occurrence of multidrug-resistant E. coli O157:H7 in raw milk obtained from farms and markets around Dhaka, Bangladesh. A Total of 50 milk samples were collected in this study fr [...]
