Waarom zou je projectmatig werken? Waarom zou je plannen? Wat wil je ermee bereiken? Deze en vele andere vragen werden gesteld. Naast deze onbekendheid met deze manier van werken waren er binnen het bedrijf nog enkele andere zaken die verbeterd konden worden. Denk hierbij aan aspecten als efficiency, effectiviteit, klantgerichtheid, omzet, productiviteit. Om al deze aandachtsgebieden in een keer aan te pakken werd er een verbeteringstraject opgezet. Naast alle genoemde aspecten zou dit meteen een introductie zijn van het projectmatig werken. | Translation - English
Why take a project-based approach? Why plan? What do you hope to accomplish? These and many other questions were raised. Apart from a lack of knowledge about this approach there were some other aspects within the company that could be improved upon. This includes aspects such as efficiency, effectiveness, customer-orientation, turnover, and productivity. An improvement trajectory was designed in order to address all these issues at once. In addition to all the aspects named above, this would also provide an introduction to the project-based approach. | Dutch to English: Risk Estimates
Detailed field: Mathematics & Statistics | Source text - Dutch
De Bland-Altman-figuur (figuur 1) laat zien hoe de overeenstemming is tussen de twee metingen. Een groot deel van de berekende verschillen valt binnen 2 standaard deviaties van het gemiddelde. Er is echter wel een systematisch verschil tussen de twee metingen, dat groter wordt bij een hogere risicoschatting. Dit wordt weergegeven als een toename van het verschil bij een toename van het gemiddelde risico. De variabiliteit (=spreiding) van het verschil neemt eveneens toe bij toename van het gemiddeld risico.
| Translation - English
The Bland-Altman figure (figure 1) shows the congruence between the two measurements. A large part of the differences calculated falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean. However, there is a consistent difference between the two measurements which increases with a higher risk estimate. This is expressed as an increase in the difference with an increase in mean risk. The variability (=spread) of the difference also increases with an increase in mean risk.
| Dutch to English: Nutrition education program
Detailed field: Nutrition | Source text - Dutch
This translation was received in English with a request to edit.
The intervention group was invited for three meetings of 2 hours in groups of 10 persons. Concrete nutritional guidelines were explained, namely per day: 5-7 slices of bread, 400 g vegetables, 2 pieces of fruit, two times a week fish at dinner, less red meat, less fat cheese, and less eggs. One or two alcohol consumptions per day were advised, when persons already were regular alcohol consumers. Because the Mediterranean diet, as described in the Lyon Diet Heart Study, is low in calcium, according to the Dutch nutritional guidelines, in addition two to three lean dairy products per day were allowed.

Het licht wordt drager van betekenis, van moeilijk definieerbare emoties als toewijding, weemoed, verlorenheid. Het gaat niet om het realistisch weergeven van een stad of een plant, ook al ligt aan de prenten dikwijls een fotografische realiteit ten grondslag. Het gaat om het licht, dat deze beelden een onmiskenbaar poëtische kracht geeft waardoor je eindeloos naar ze kunt blijven kijken.
(tekst: Hester Eymers) | Translation - English
The light becomes the bearer of meaning, of hard-to-define emotions such as devotion, melancholy, desolation. It is not about a realistic rendition of a city or a plant, even though the prints are often based on photographic reality. What it is about is the light, which gives these images an unmistakable poetic power that keeps the viewer spellbound.
