Less stick more carrot? Increasing the uptake of deposit contract financial incentives for physical activity: A randomized controlled trial.
de Buisonjé DR, Reijnders T, Cohen Rodrigues TR, Santhanam P, Kowatsch T, Breeman LD, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Kemps HMC, Evers AWM
Background: Financial incentives are a promising tool to help people increase their physical activity, but they are expensive to provide. Deposit contracts are a type of financial incentive in which participants pledge their own money. However, low uptake is a crucial obstacle to the large-scale implementation of deposit contracts. Therefore, we investigated whether (1) matching the deposit 1:1 (doubling what is deposited) and (2) allowing for customizable deposit amounts increased the uptake an...

Green Additives in Chitosan-Based Bioplastic Films: Physical, Mechanical, and Chemical Properties.
Schnabl KB, Mandemaker LDB, Nierop KGJ, Deen OVB, Eefting DD, Vollmer I, Weckhuysen BM
To switch to alternatives for fossil-fuel-based polymer materials, renewable raw materials from green resources should be utilized. Chitosan is such a material that is a strong, but workable derivative from chitin, obtained from crustaceans. However, various applications ask for specific plastic properties, such as certain flexibility, hardness and transparency. With different additives, also obtainable from green resources, chitosan-based composites in the form of self-supporting films, ranging...

Modelling changes in the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus during pregnancy after kidney transplantation: A retrospective cohort study.
Schagen MR, Ulu AN, Francke MI, van de Wetering J, van Buren MC, Schoenmakers S, Matic M, van Schaik RHN, Hesselink DA, de Winter BCM
Aims: Pregnancy after kidney transplantation is realistic but immunosuppressants should be continued to prevent rejection. Tacrolimus is safe during pregnancy and is routinely dosed based on whole-blood predose concentrations. However, maintaining these concentrations is complicated as physiological changes during pregnancy affect tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to describe tacrolimus pharmacokinetics throughout pregnancy and explain the changes by investigating covariates...

From root to shoot: quantifying nematode tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by high-throughput phenotyping of plant development.
Willig JJ, Sonneveld D, van Steenbrugge JJM, Deurhof L, van Schaik CC, Teklu MG, Goverse A, Lozano-Torres JL, Smant G, Sterken MG
Nematode migration, feeding site formation, withdrawal of plant assimilates, and activation of plant defence responses have a significant impact on plant growth and development. Plants display intraspecific variation in tolerance limits for root-feeding nematodes. Although disease tolerance has been recognized as a distinct trait in biotic interactions of mainly crops, we lack mechanistic insights. Progress is hampered by difficulties in quantification and laborious screening methods. We turned...

Separable mixing: The general formulation and a particular example focusing on mask efficiency.
Bootsma MCJ, Chan KMD, Diekmann O, Inaba H
The aim of this short note is twofold. First, we formulate the general Kermack-McKendrick epidemic model incorporating static heterogeneity and show how it simplifies to a scalar Renewal Equation (RE) when separable mixing is assumed. A key general feature is that all information about the heterogeneity is encoded in one nonlinear real valued function of a real variable. Next, we specialize the model ingredients so that we can study the efficiency of mask wearing as a non-pharmaceutical interven...
