    No full text
    Protectiecurven voor de FM-band van centrale antenne-inrichtingen zijn grafieken welke het toelaatbare niveau van intermodulatieprodukten geven als functie van het gewenste FM-signaal en het stoorprodukt. Dit afstudeerverslag baseert zich op het opleggen van.de CCIR ruis- en single frequentie-eisen aan het hoorbare signaal, er worden dus voor elk stoorprodukt twee curven gegeven. De intermodulatieprodukten worden ingedeeld naar de modulatie van de bronsignalen, FM-geluid en restzijband-beeld. De resultaten zijn ondergebracht in hoofdstuk 9, dat los van de rest van het verslag gelezen kan worden.Applied SciencesElectrical EngineeringLaboratorium voor Transmissie van Informati

    COVID-19 en werk – ongelijke effecten van generieke maatregelen

    Tijdens de coronapandemie werd in de eerste plaats onderscheid gemaakt tussen werkenden met en zonder cruciaal beroep. De overheidsmaatregelen om de verspreiding van het virus tegen te gaan, zorgden echter voor het ontstaan van vier groepen werkenden: mensen in cruciale en niet-cruciale beroepen die op locatie werkten, en thuiswerkenden in cruciale en niet-cruciale beroepen. We zien dat bestaande ongelijkheden in werk en werkbeleving werden vergroot tijdens de pandemie. In toekomstige crisissen moet meer aandacht zijn voor de verschillende uitdagingen in ervaren autonomie in hun werk, werkdruk en werk-privébalans voor elk van deze vier groepen

    Cancer prevalence estimates in Europe at the beginning of 2000

    No full text
    Background: Complete cancer prevalence data in Europe have never been updated after the first estimates provided by the EUROPREVAL project and referred to the year 1993. This paper provides prevalence estimates for 16 majorcancers in Europe at the beginning of the year 2003.Patients and methods: We estimated complete prevalence by the completeness index method. We usedinformation on cancer patients diagnosed in 1978-2002 with vital status information available up to 31December 2003, from 76 European cancer registries.Results: About 11.6 millions of Europeans with a history of one of the major considered cancers were alive on1 January 2003. For breast and prostate cancers, about 1 out of 73 women and 1 out of 160 men were living with aprevious diagnosis of breast and prostate cancers, respectively. The demographic variations alone will increase thenumber of prevalent cases to nearly 13 millions in 2010.Conclusions: Several factors (early detection, population aging and better treatment) contribute to increase cancerprevalence and push for the need of a continuous monitoring of prevalence indicators to properly plan needs, resourceallocation to cancer and for improving health care programs for cancer survivors. Cancer prevalence should beincluded within the EU official health statistics. © The Author 2013. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society for Medical Oncology.

This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of self-help physical activity (PA), mindfulness meditation (MM), and heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF) in reducing stress and its related symptoms. We randomly allocated 126 participants to PA, MM, or HRV-BF upon enrollment, of whom 76 agreed to participate. The interventions consisted of psycho-education and an introduction to the specific intervention techniques and 5 weeks of daily exercises at home. The PA exercises consisted of a vigorous-intensity activity of free choice. The MM exercises consisted of guided mindfulness meditation. The HRV-BF exercises consisted of slow breathing with a heart rate variability biofeedback device. Participants received daily reminders for their exercises and were contacted weekly to monitor their progress. They completed questionnaires prior to, directly after, and 6 weeks after the intervention. Results indicated an overall beneficial effect consisting of reduced stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and improved psychological wellbeing and sleep quality. No significant between-intervention effect was found, suggesting that PA, MM, and HRV-BF are equally effective in reducing stress and its related symptoms. These self-help interventions provide easily accessible help for people with stress complaints

    Designing for TARA: The radar control unit

    No full text
    This thesis describes the work done on a control system for the Transportable Atmospheric RAdar (TARA), which is located at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmosperic Research (CESAR). It describes the way in which this radar control unit was implemented within the TARA, by making use of a high-level programming language. The control unit consists of a PXI-system of National Instruments, LabVIEW software, a DDS from Analog Devices and provided Matlab code. The project resulted in a working prototype. The TARA itself is a FM-CW radar with the possibility of sending and receiving in multiple polarizations and orientations for weather measurements. The system was tested and most functions worked properly. During the test, the measurements with the new system generated the same data as the current system. This proved that the system is working correctly, which is of great importance for the ATMOS group, because they are planning to transport the TARA to a measurement campaign in France in 2012 using the upgraded system.Remote Sensing of the EnvironmentElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
