Abstract

The roof is the part of building which normally gets minimal attention during the early stages of the building design process. This neglect of focus to the roof is strange as the roof can be used for integration with the energy system of buildings. The roof is an interesting possibility for integrating it with sustainable energy systems. A gap exists between theoretical possible solutions and practical application in design practice. Offering design teams and product developers an appropriate methodology will results in decision support. Within the 6th framework, this Pan-European EURACTIVE ROOFer project aims at development of methodology for supporting new opportunities for increased quality of roofs and the possible contribution of the roof to sustainability. An integral design methodology supportive within the design process of active roofs is developed. This integral design methodology acts as a "bridge" between the architect, who designs architectural roof elements, and the roofer engineer, who engineers sustainable energy application into the roof. By using case studies knowledge-skill profiles are generated for the main design team-participants in the collaborative setting; architect and roofer. These competence profiles will be validated in case studies from practice, master classes and workshops.

5. BNA-ONRI-KCBS collaboration for permanent professionals education

Abstract

In the current trend of ‘forward integration’ within (Dutch) building (design) practice, where most of stakeholders try to secure their place in early phases of building design, the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects (BNA) and the Dutch Association of Consulting Engineers (ONRI) are looking for a ‘design model’ as well as an ‘education model’ that deals with design integration during preliminary design phase. The members of these organisations represent building design disciplines, whose perceived synchronous design activities need to be integrated. ‘Methodical design’ and workshop formula were the starting points for the development of ‘design’ and ‘education’ models. ‘Methodical design’ is problem and process oriented and distinguishes, based on functional hierarchy, various abstractions and/or complexity levels during different design stages and design phase activities. As such, it provides the basis for structuring ‘object design knowledge’ of involved disciplines. Since experienced practitioners are the main target group, a workshop format is thought to form a suitable framework for integration of their activities. Both ‘design’ and ‘education’ models are encapsulated in ‘integral design (ID) methodology’ for multidisciplinary design teams, making their (simultaneous) implementation and adjustment possible through a learning-by-doing approach. ‘ID-methodology’ is being developed within a PhD research project initiated in year 2004 by KCBS; cooperation between Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, core area Built Environment and Geosciences (TNO Bouw en Ondergrond). The first applications of ‘ID-methodology’, in a series of workshops involving more than 100 experienced professionals, showed that BNA-ONRI-KCBS collaboration successfully connects practice, research and education – the basis of "integral approach" (Zeiler et al., 2005) that can lead to integral building designs.

Abstract

1 december 2010, Contains fulltext : 88110.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), Evidence shows that psychosocial problems among children and adolescents with asthma interfere with adherence to treatment and therefore need attention in asthma care. It is unknown whether the already frequently implemented asthma-related quality of life (QoL) instruments reflect psychosocial problems in children with asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between asthma-related QoL and psychosocial problems and to determine whether an asthma-related QoL instrument is able to identify those children and adolescents with asthma with major psychosocial problems. In a multicenter study psychosocial problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) and asthma-related QoL (Pediatric Asthma (Caregivers) Quality of Life Questionnaire) were obtained in children and adolescents with asthma aged 6-16 years and their caregivers. A total of 339 children and adolescents (response rate 95%) from four pediatric outpatient clinics in the Netherlands with doctor-diagnosed asthma participated. Of the caregivers, 43% reported major or minor psychosocial problems of their child or adolescent which is two times more than in the reference group, whereas the percentage of adolescents reporting psychosocial problems was comparable to a reference population. Adolescents and caregivers reported few impairments in asthma-related QoL (median score between 6.2 and 7.0). However, an optimal asthma-related QoL did not rule out major psychosocial problems: 10% of the adolescents with an optimal asthma-related QoL score reported major psychosocial problems. And in one out of seven children with an optimal caregiver's asthma-related QoL score, major psychosocial problems were reported. The prevalence of psychosocial problems in children and adolescents with asthma is considerable. Assessment of asthma-related QoL alone is insufficient to identify those children with major psychosocial problems. We recommend the implementation of psychosocial screening, besides assessment of

Abstract

Background: No more than 10-15% of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients achieve all treatment goals regarding glycaemic control, lipids and blood pressure. Shared decision making (SDM) should increase that percentage; however, not all support decision tools are appropriate. Because the ADDITION-Europe study demonstrated two (almost) equally effective treatments but with slightly different intensities, it may be a good starting point to discuss with the patients their diabetes treatment, taking into account both the intensity of treatment, clinical factors and patients' preferences. We aim to evaluate whether such an approach increases the proportion of patients that achieve all three treatment goals., Methods: In a cluster-randomised trial including 40 general practices, that participated until 2009 in the ADDITION Study, 150 T2DM patients 60-80 years, known with T2DM for 8-15 years, will be included. Practices are randomised a second time, i.e. intervention practices in the ADDITION study could be control practices in the current study and vice versa. For the GPs from the intervention group a 2-hour training in SDM was developed as well as a decision support tool to be used during the consultation. GPs plan the first visit with the patients to decide on the intensity of the treatment, personalised targets and the priorities of treatment. The control group will continue with the treatment they were allocated to in the ADDITION study., Follow-Up: 24 months. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients who achieve all three treatment goals. Secondary outcomes are the proportion of patients who achieve five treatment goals (HbA1c, blood pressure, total cholesterol, body weight, not smoking), evaluation of the SDM process (SDM-Q9 and CPS), satisfaction with the treatment (DTSQ), wellbeing and quality of life (W-BQ12, ADD QoL-19), health status (SF-36, EQ-5D) and coping (DCMQ). The proportions of achieved treatment goals will be compared between both groups. For the secondary outcomes mixed models will be used. The Medical Research Ethics Committee of the University Medical Centre Utrecht has approved the study protocol (Protocol number: 11-153)., Discussion: This trial will provide evidence whether an intervention with a multi-faceted decision support tool increases the proportion of achieved personalised goals in type 2 diabetes patients., Trial Registration: NCT02285881, November 4, 2014.

We recommend the implementation of psychosocial screening, besides assessment of asthma-related QoL, in routine pediatric asthma care, to improve asthma management.
