Sick leave due to axSpA turned out to be predictive of future sick leave, and can be considered a warning signal.

… 14 februari 2023 Zoekresultaten The status quo isn’t viable; we need to transform how we do things and how we think about them – not just in one domain but in the complex system made up of the interactions between all the domains.

These can’t be seen in isolation; they are all interrelated parts of a systemic crisis. The … food security, it’s obvious that we cannot survive without nature.

The United States, in which homeownership is an integral part of the American Dream , treat it almost like an institutional … are quite common. In stark contrast, less than 40% of all households own their home in Switzerland. These vast discrepancies raise the question whether, from a societal perspective, universal homeownership is a desirable goal. I discuss this question mainly from an economic standpoint, thereby omitting the role of cultural preferences, which may induce justifiable ownership gaps rates across different societies. Homeowner Societies – Wealthy Societies? The most common argument that is brought … property ladder. As mortgage rates increased and house prices suddenly collapsed, many of these households were unable to make their monthly payments and had to sell their properties at enormous discounts – seeing their American Dream turn into a nightmare. While the US housing market crash may well have been a unique event, the lessons it offers are valuable nonetheless. Most importantly, the mortgage market must not be left unregulated, as neither banks nor borrowers are well-equipped to decide …
… is a special organ: if you cut away part of it, in most cases a new piece of liver will grow back. If someone has cancer in the liver, the affected part of the liver can be surgically removed. But you can only do this if at least 30% of the liver remains. For many patients whose remaining liver is too small, this means that they cannot undergo surgery. But thanks to international research from Maastricht UMC+, the treatment options for cancer in the liver have now been significantly expanded. Fac.

… 14 mei 2018 ROA publishes new report on lifelong learning in the Netherlands Zoekresultaten In the years of economic growth, workers’ participation in courses and training has remained stable. However, the gap between lower and highly educated workers is still growing. These are some of the conclusions of the latest report, ‘Nederland in Leerstand’, of the Maastricht University Research Centre for Education and the Labour … sound lifelong-learning policy that boosts the knowledge economy.
