Presence and procedure
BACKGROUND: In Dutch euthanasia practice, the relationship between healthcare professionals, patients, and, when present, the patient's close circle plays an important role. However, neither the Dutch Euthanasia Act nor current guidelines or empirical studies provide detailed insight into how these actors navigate the process or experience decision-making. Therefore, we aim to explore how these relationships are experienced throughout the euthana…
Requests for euthanasia or assisted suicide of people without (severe) illness
BACKGROUND: Some people request euthanasia or assisted suicide (EAS) even though they are not (severely) ill. In the Netherlands the presence of sufficient medical ground for the suffering is a strict prerequisite for EAS. The desirability of this 'medical ground'-boundary is currently questioned. Legislation has been proposed to facilitate EAS for older persons with "completed life" or "tiredness of life" in the absence of (severe) illness. OBJE…

Effects of physical activity interventions on cognitive and academic performance in children and adolescents
Integrating Juggling with Math Lessons
There are tentative indications that physical activity (PA) during school time can be beneficial for children's academic performance. So far, most studies have focused on the effects of moderate-to-vigorous PA, for example, in the form of energizers or extra physical education lessons. Little is known about the effects of physically active learning, in which PA is integrated with the academic content of the lessons, especially in preadolescent ch…
Untapped Resources
Schools are considered ideal venues to promote physical activity (PA) in children. However, a knowledge gap exists on how to adequately integrate PA into the school day and in particular, on the preferences of children regarding additional PA in school. Therefore, the aim of our qualitative study was to gain comprehensive insight into 10−13-year-old primary schoolchildren's perspectives on how to increase PA in the school setting. We conducted ni…
“It’s a Battle… You Want to Do It, but How Will You Get It Done?”
School is an ideal setting to promote and increase physical activity (PA) in children. However, implementation of school-based PA programmes seems difficult, in particular due to schools' focus on academic performance and a lack of involvement of school staff in program development. The potential cognitive and academic benefits of PA might increase chances of successful implementation. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study was: (1) to expl…
Does International Student Exchange Contribute to Educating Teachers We Need in a Multicultural Society
The purpose of this article is to present a study of some student teachers' outcome of their international exchange, focusing on multiculturalism and the students' intercultural education. The article is based on a quantitative study over three academic years. The study is a survey of the students' knowledge, thoughts, and feelings before and after their stay abroad. Most of the answers to the questions in the survey are consistent from one year …
