COVID-19 has massively affected the lives of people all over world. This paper presents first insights in current and potential future effects virus Dutch government's 'intelligent lockdown' on people's activities travel behaviour. Findings are based a representative sample about 2500 respondents from Netherlands Mobility Panel (MPN). We show that approximately 80% reduced their outdoors, with stronger decrease for older people. 44% workers started or increased amount hours working home 30%...
Leprosy is a debilitating, infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Despite the availability of multidrug therapy, transmission unremitting. Thus, early identification M. leprae infection essential to reduce transmission. The immune response determined host genetics, resulting in paucibacillary (PB) and multibacillary (MB) leprosy associated with dominant cellular or humoral immunity, respectively. This spectral pathology compels detection immunity be based on multiple, diverse...
Transmission of Mycobacterium leprae, the pathogen causing leprosy, is still persistent. To facilitate timely (prophylactic) treatment and reduce transmission it vital to both early diagnose identify infected individuals lacking clinical symptoms. However, leprosy-specific biomarkers are limited, particularly for paucibacillary disease. Therefore, our objective was new leprosy assess their applicability in point-of-care (POC) tests.Using multiplex-bead-arrays, 60 host-proteins were measured...
Open Government efforts are criticized for providing limited value. Instead of looking at a value, we investigate the usefulness web-based open government portals and apps. Specifically, investigated relationship between digital transparency usefulness. We analyzed perceived in survey 112 respondents using Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show that functionality, transparency, efficiency influence but functionality apps more important than...
In this article, we describe the design, methodology and recruitment findings of COLEP study. The objectives study were to determine effectiveness chemoprophylaxis with a single dose rifampicin in prevention leprosy among close contacts patients, find characteristics contact groups most at risk develop clinical leprosy. These should be usable by routine control programmes. consists cluster randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial, cohort factors characterizing sub-groups within...
Background Despite elimination efforts, the number of Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) infected individuals who develop leprosy, is still substantial. Solid evidence exists that living in close proximity to patients are at increased risk leprosy. Early diagnosis leprosy endemic areas requires field-friendly tests identify developing disease before clinical manifestation. Such assays will simultaneously contribute reduction current diagnostic delay as well transmission. Antibody (Ab) levels...
Residential self-selection (RSS) is the theoretical mechanism that explains impact of built environment on travel behaviour weaker than bivariate correlations suggest, because mode attitudes influence both and therefore at least partially account for relationship. Recently, concept travel-related reasons residential choice has been introduced, which reflects actual extent to characteristics were considered during relocation decision. In this paper, we hypothesize location are stronger...
To inform policies aimed at more sustainable travel behaviour, previous research has investigated the concept of multimodality. The notion underlying this line is that increasing degree multimodality will lead to less car dependence and therefore behaviour. This paper investigates by inferring modality styles revealing their response exogenous variation in form weather. main idea travellers with a multimodal style are sensitive variation, they likely resort use when 'car-favouring'...
Abstract Policies to increase the amount of time people spend working from home were widely used during COVID-19 pandemic. Since research suggests that resulting in will outlast these policies themselves, policymakers want understand relations between and travel behaviour. We apply longitudinal modelling techniques estimate behaviour using panel data Netherlands Mobility Panel spanning years 2017 through 2021. This allows us separate between-persons within-persons effects see whether changed...
Like in many other countries, the Dutch government instructed people to work from home where possible during COVID-19 pandemic halt transmission of virus. This policy seems have resulted a structural increase working and teleconferencing that will outlast pandemic. However, longer-term effects on travel behaviour are still unclear. Making use panel data collected using Netherlands Mobility Panel, this paper has two main aims. First, it analyses developments since COVID-19. Second, estimates...
Attitudes have been used as explanatory variables of travel behaviour for decades, typically under the assumption that there is a causal effect attitudes on behaviour. However, recent research has shown relationship between and bi-directional. In this study we use longitudinal modelling technique panel data to 1) separate within-person effects from between-person associations 2) test whether changed during COVID-19 pandemic. We find were weaker pandemic than they before addition, much...
<title>Abstract</title> Mode choice is an essential subject within travel behaviour research. Typically, mode has been studied using cross-sectional (discrete choice) models, which assume that all choices are made simultaneously. In this study, we relax assumption by explicitly incorporating the time when a modeling framework, latent transition model. This model allows for identification of effects life-events and (changes in) mobility tool ownership on probabilities over time. To estimate...
Over the past years, aviation policies are more and focussed on sustainability rather than connectivity, putting pressure airlines to re-design network. For this, evaluating air travellers their preferences direct routing compared lay-overs is needed make well-informed design choices. This paper examines of itineraries by applying a data-driven approach. To this end, stated preference choice experiment developed implemented in an online survey. The results latent class model show two types...
