Gelaagde toekomst:De stad als palimpsest in De eerste hond in de ruimte (2010) en Gebied 19 (2023)
Hoe wordt het einde van de stad verbeeld in hedendaagse Nederlandstalige toekomstromans? LetterkundigenMarieke Winkler en Marjolein van Herten analyseren De eerste hond in de ruimte (2010) van Jeroen van Rooij en Gebied 19 (2023) van Esther Gerritsen vanuit de literary urban studies. Hierbij kijken ze naar de (toekomstige) stad als een palimpsest: een ruimte waarin oude en nieuwe lagen van tijd en betekenis elkaar voortdurend beïnvloeden. Wat onthullen deze lagen over de toekomstige stad, en wat blijft er over van een stad, zonder geschiedenis? Dit artikel nodigt uit tot een reflectie op de stedelijke toekomst als een dynamisch proces van geheugen, representatie en transformatie

Envisioning the Future of AI in Urodynamics:Exploratory Interviews With Experts
BackgroundUrodynamics monitors various parameters while the urinary bladder fills and empties, to diagnose functional or anatomic disorders of the lower urinary tract. It is an invasive and complex test with technical challenges, and it needs rigorous quality assessment and training of clinicians to avoid misdiagnosis. Applying AI to urodynamic pattern recognition and noisy data signals seems promising.AimTo understand desirable and appropriate applications, this study aims to explore the envisioned future of AI in urodynamics according to experts in AI and/or urodynamics.MethodTen semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore expectations, trust and possibilities of AI in urodynamics. Content analysis with an inductive approach was performed on all data.ResultsThe analysis resulted in seven overarching themes: difficulties with urodynamics, quality of urodynamics, AI will be supportive, development and training of AI systems, desirable outcomes, challenges, and envisioning the future of AI in urodynamics.Discussion and ConclusionIn the vision of experts, urodynamics practices will change with the introduction of AI. In the beginning, clinicians will probably desire to check AI-made outcomes of UDS tests to gain trust the system. After experiencing the value of these systems, clinicians might let the system independently provide suggested UDS analyses, and they will use more of their time to spend on their patients

Psychosocial factors associated with physical activity, weight management, and sleep in adults with hip and knee osteoarthritis:a systematic review
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease primarily affecting older adults, mainly impacting the hip and knee joints. The increasing prevalence of OA contributes to rising healthcare demands and costs. Current OA treatment guidelines emphasize the importance of self-management education and guidance, particularly in promoting physical activity and weight management. In addition, improving sleep is crucial for managing OA. Developing effective self-management interventions necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the factors that facilitate these behaviors. Especially for changing health behaviors, it is important to focus on psychosocial factors. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to identify the psychosocial factors associated with physical activity, weight management, and sleep in adults with hip and/or knee OA.METHODS: Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PyschINFO, Web of Science) were searched for observational studies reporting statistics on the association between psychosocial determinants and physical activity, weight management, or sleep in people with OA. The methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Studies of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. After screening 5,812 articles, 31 studies were included for analysis.RESULTS: The results showed that intention, self-efficacy, and willpower beliefs were positively associated with physical activity. Kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing and pain-related fear were negatively associated with physical activity. Depressive symptoms, negative affect, pain catastrophizing, and low willpower beliefs were associated with poor weight management. Anxiety, depression, pain anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder were related to poor sleep behavior.CONCLUSIONS: This review enhances the understanding of the psychosocial factors underlying physical activity, weight management and sleep in OA. These insights are valuable for developing tailored behavior change interventions aimed at improving physical activity, weight management and sleep in patients with hip and/or knee OA. Future research is warranted to gain more in-depth insights, particularly through longitudinal studies and further research into the psychosocial determinants of sleep, as current literature in this area is limited.</p
Opinie: Trap niet in het charmeoffensief van big tech
Techlobbyisten proberen overheden ervan te overtuigen dat zij heus niet onafhankelijker hoeven worden van big tech. Maar het kan toch niet zo zijn dat onze vitale infrastructuur zonder de gratie van enkele Amerikaanse multinationals, niet functioneert
