Quickscan opbrengsten en efficiëntie in de gangbare en biologische akkerbouw, melkveehouderij , varkenshouderij en pluimveehouderij : deelstudie van project ‘Duurzame Eiwitvoorziening’
No full textDe centrale onderzoeksvraag van onderhavige studie is als volgt geformuleerd: “Wat zijn de gemiddelde verschillen in gewasopbrengsten en in dierlijke productie (kg per ha per jaar) tussen gangbare en biologische landbouw, en waardoor worden deze verschillen veroorzaakt?” Het blijkt niet eenvoudig te zijn om een zuivere vergelijking te maken, omdat er verschillen zijn in soorten en – variëteiten, in bouwplannen en voorvruchten, in doelstellingen en in bedrijfssystemen tussen biologische en gangbare landbouw. Een vergelijking tussen opbrengsten en efficiëntie van biologische en gangbare landbouw kan daarom gekarakteriseerd worden als een vergelijking tussen appels en peren
Knowledge sharing in agile projects: Exploring knowledge sharing patterns in agile projects around Philips Research context
No full textThe paring of knowledge sharing and agile methodology has been explained by some researchers (Dissanayake, Dantu, & Nerur, 2013), most emphasize that the knowledge sharing enablers embedded in the agile methods (Dissanayake et al., 2013), seldom researches explain agile-induced knowledge sharing inhibitors. Besides, the existing researches are limited by industry. As agile methodology has been continuing spreading beyond software development projects (Dybå & Dingsøyr, 2008; Serrador & Pinto, 2015), little was known on whether the agile methodology is genuinely contributing to knowledge sharing in the non-software development environment. Based on an in-depth study in Philips Research organizations, by conducting semi-structured interviews with different roles involved in agile research projects, this study investigates how agile methods influence knowledge sharing behavior and its effectiveness. The inhibitors are clustered into environmental, individual and motivational factors based on Wang’s knowledge sharing factor framework (Sheng Wang & Noe, 2010). The outcomes indicate a paradox of agile-induced knowledge sharing factors, that with the overemphasis on the intra-team knowledge sharing in agile projects, there is the potential of sacrificing long-term learning and organizational level knowledge sharing. The agile-induced knowledge sharing enablers could transform into inhibitorsCivil Engineering | Construction Management and Engineerin

The ritualization of transition in the project life cycle: A study of transition rituals in construction projects
No full textTo manage the project life cycle and facilitate transitions, Project Management (PM) research often points to temporal models and structuring devices. However, the social and symbolic facet of transitions in projects remains understudied. Therefore, this research focuses on the ritualization of transitions in projects. Specifically, the aim is to gain insight into the practice and meaning of transition rituals in the project life cycle. To do so we draw from field research in the infrastructure sector where participant-observation was carried out during eight transition rituals in four Dutch construction projects, and 58 interviews were executed with project participants. The contribution to the PM debate on temporary organizing lies in the conceptualization of transition rituals as powerful symbolic and strategic practices in the project life cycle, and in the provision of an overview showcasing how, when and why transition rituals are practiced to facilitate transitions and embed a project in its environment. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd
Surface-atmosphere exchange of ammonia : measurements and modeling over non-fertilized grassland in the Netherlands
No full textIn dit proefschrift wordt de oppervlakte-atmosfeer uitwisseling van ammoniak boven agrarisch grasland in Nederland bestudeerd. De belangrijkste doelstellingen van dit proefschrift zijn om een beter begrip van het oppervlakte-atmosfeer uitwisselingsproces van ammoniak te krijgen, vooral boven agrarische grasland in Nederland, en om de modelbeschrijving van het oppervlakte-atmosfeer uitwisselingsproces van ammoniak te verbeteren
