Water footprints and crop water use of 175 individual crops for 1990-2019 simulated with a global crop model.

The water footprint of a crop (WF) is a common metric for assessing agricultural water consumption and productivity. To provide an update and methodological enhancement of existing WF datasets, we apply a global process-based crop model to quantify consumptive WFs of 175 individual crops at a 5 arcminute resolution over the 1990-2019 period. This model simulates the daily crop growth and vertical water balance considering local environmental conditions, crop characteristics, and farm management.

Low prevalence of current and past SARS-CoV-2 infections among visitors and staff members of homelessness services in Amsterdam at the end of the second wave of infections in the Netherlands.

Background: People experiencing homelessness (PEH) may be at increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19. The Dutch government established emergency shelters and introduced preventive measures for homelessness services. There were no major SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks noticed among PEH during the first two waves of infections.

Total knee arthroplasty improves gait adaptability in osteoarthritis patients; a pilot study.

Background: Gait adaptability is of utmost importance for keeping balance during gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis, also after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aims of this explorative study are: (1) assess the effect of age, knee osteoarthritis and TKA on gait adaptability; (2) assess changes in gait adaptability pre-to post-TKA and (3) their relation to functional outcomes.

Methods: Gait adaptability was measured using a Target Stepping Test (TST) in knee osteoarthritis patients before (preTKA) and 12 months after TKA (postTKA) and compared to asymptomatic old (AsOld) and young adults (AsYng).

How Different Quality Paradigms Undermine a Shared Value Base for Integrated Care: The Need for Collective Reflexivity.

In the development process of integrated care many impeding factors occur. Our premise is, that many of these barriers are related to the differences in values or perspectives. This article aims to clarify what an important challenge is for the further development of integrated care and for integrated care research.

Limited knee extension during gait after total knee arthroplasty is related to a low Oxford Knee Score.

Background: After total knee replacement (TKR) some patients report low self-perceived function, which is clinically measured using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, PROMs, e.g.
