26.010 Bodegraven - Willemstraat 59
No full textBij archeologisch onderzoek ter plaatse van de Willemstraat 59 in Bodegraven zijn twee eiken (Quercus sp.) palen geborgen en bemonsterd voor dendrochronologisch onderzoek.
Over de context van de vondsten is geen informatie verstrekt.
Beide monsters kunnen gedateerd worden in de eerste eeuw na Chr.
Vondstnr. 21.2 dateert in 61 na Chr. en uit de aanwezigheid van de wankant volgt een kapseizoen in de herfst/winter van 61/62 na Chr.
Vondstnr.22.2 dateert in 28 na Chr. Het spinthout is deel bewaard gebleven en hiermee kan een kapinterval rond 35 na Chr. geschat worden
Google as Journalists’ Invisible Research Assistant
No full textProvided is the questionnaire used for the experiment that was conducted for the paper under the title: Google as Journalists’ Invisible Research Assistant, The Impact of Algorithmically-Driven Search Results in Journalistic Information Gathering Routines. The questionnaire includes questions for the pre-test and post-test. Also, a control question is included. This experiment was conducted among 73 journalists in the Netherlands
Do countries really need to build absorptive capacity to benefit from FDI? Estimating policy-relevant interaction terms with panel data
No full textThis paper is number 200 in the Groningen Growth and Development's Research Memoranda series.
Abstract
Foreign direct investment is often promoted as a driver of economic growth.
But its benefits are thought to depend on host countries’ ‘absorptive capacities’
such as human capital, financial development, trade openness, or institutional
quality. We use recent advances in panel data econometrics to revisit this con-
ventional wisdom that has shaped decades of policy advise. Our approach is the
first in this literature that disentangles the effects of policy-relevant changes in ab-
sorptive capacities from time-invariant country fundamentals that policies cannot
alter. Using a sample of approximately 120 countries over five decades, we find
that time-invariant country fundamentals explain most heterogeneity in the FDI-
growth nexus. Among the four policy-relevant capacities examined, only greater
trade openness plausibly enhances this nexus. And even in this case, fewer than
10% of countries fail to reach the threshold where FDI appears growth-enhancing.
By contrast, improving human capital, financial development, and institutional
quality do not robustly increase the benefits from FDI, and may even dampen
them. These findings challenge the prevailing emphasis on broad absorptive ca-
pacity building as a precondition for benefiting from FDI
Navigation ability in patients with acquired brain injury: A population-wide online study
No full textThe ability to travel independently is a vital part of an autonomous life. It is important to investigate to what degree people with acquired brain injuries (ABI) suffer from navigation impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of objective and subjective navigation impairments in the population of ABI patients. A large-scale online navigation study was conducted with 435 ABI patients and 7474 healthy controls. Participants studied a route through a virtual environment and completed 5 navigation tasks that assessed distinct functional components of navigation ability. Subjective navigation abilities were assessed using the Wayfinding questionnaire. Patients were matched to controls using propensity score matching. Overall, performance on objective navigation tasks was significantly lower in the ABI population compared to the healthy controls. The landmark recognition, route continuation and allocentric location knowledge tasks were most vulnerable to brain injury. The prevalence of subjective navigation impairments was higher in the ABI population compared to the healthy controls. In conclusion, a substantial proportion (39.1%) of the ABI population reports navigation impairments. We advocate the evaluation of objective and subjective navigation ability in neuropsychological assessments of ABI patients
Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an optimized provision process of assistive products for donning and doffing compression hoisery
No full textA trial-based economic evaluation was conducted alongside the study comparing the intervention with usual care. Effects, costs and health outcomes were measured over a 12-month follow-up period. The evaluation was performed from both societal and healthcare perspectives.

Total Number of Pigs
No full textHistorical pig statistics from Mitchell are first adjusted to match the FAO statistics in 1961 (FAO presents statistics from 1961-present time). Then, the most historical data found in Mitchell is converted in a simple per-capita number, and this number is kept constant further back in time. Apparently for Europe this will result in an underestimate (evidence from Broadberry et al suggest that in Medieval times the per capita pig number was higher), but for other regions this is probably not the case (Americas and Australia/New Zealand didn’t have pigs at all until the early 16th century resp. late 18th century)
