An observational comparison of FACT and ACT in the Netherlands and the US
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a well-defined service delivery model for the care and treatment of the most severely mentally ill in the community with American origins. The Dutch have adapted the model in order to accommodate a broader range of needs and allow more flexible implementation. Functional Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) provides the intensity of care needed to help participants sustain life in the community as well as continuity of care over time for many vulnerable client populations

Stochastic Gradient Annealed Importance Sampling for Efficient Online Marginal Likelihood Estimation
We consider estimating the marginal likelihood in settings with independent
and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data. We propose estimating the predictive
distributions in a sequential factorization of the marginal likelihood in such
settings by using stochastic gradient Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques. This
approach is far more efficient than traditional marginal likelihood estimation
techniques such as nested sampling and annealed importance sampling due to its
use of mini-batches to approximate the likelihood. Stability of the estimates
is provided by an adaptive annealing schedule. The resulting stochastic
gradient annealed importance sampling (SGAIS) technique, which is the key
contribution of our paper, enables us to estimate the marginal likelihood of a
number of models considerably faster than traditional approaches, with no
noticeable loss of accuracy. An important benefit of our approach is that the
marginal likelihood is calculated in an online fashion as data becomes
available, allowing the estimates to be used for applications such as online
weighted model combination
The introduction of Corded Ware Culture at a local levely:An exploratory study of cultural change during the Late Neolithic of the Dutch West Coast through ceramic technology
The introduction of the Corded Ware Culture (3000β2500β―BCE) is considered a formative event in Europe's past. Ancient DNA analyses demonstrate that migrations played a crucial role in this event. However, these analyses approach the issue at a supra-regional scale, leaving questions about the regional and local impact of this event unresolved. This study pilots an approach to ceramics that brings this small-scale impact into focus by using the transmission of ceramic technology as a proxy for social change. It draws on ethno-archaeological studies of the effects of social changes on the transmission of ceramic production techniques to hypothesise the impact of three idealised scenarios that archaeologists have proposed for the introduction of Corded Ware Culture: migration, diffusion, and network interactions. Subsequently, it verifies these hypotheses by integrating geochemical (WDXRF), mineralogical (petrography), and macromorphological analysis of ceramics with network analysis. This method is applied to 30 Late Neolithic ceramic vessels from three sites in the western coastal area of the Netherlands (Hazerswoude-Rijndijk N11, Zandwerven, and Voorschoten-De Donk). This study concludes that the introduction of Corded Ware material culture is a process that varies from site to site in the western coastal area of the Netherlands. Moreover, the introduction of the Corded Ware Culture is characterised by continuity in technological traditions throughout the study area, indicating a degree of social continuity despite typological changes in ceramic
Working on and with Relationships: Relational Work and Spatial Understandings of Good Care in Community Mental Healthcare in Trieste
Deinstitutionalization is often described as an organizational shift of moving care from the psychiatric hospital towards the community. This paper analyses deinstitutionalization as a daily care practice by adopting an empirical ethics approach instead. Deinstitutionalization of mental healthcare is seen as an important way of improving the quality of lives of people suffering from severe mental illness. But how is this done in practice and which different goods are strived for by those involved? We examine these questions by giving an ethnographic description of community mental health care in Trieste, a city that underwent a radical process of deinstitutionalization in the 1970s. We show that paying attention to the spatial metaphors used in daily care direct us to different notions of good care in which relationships are central. Addressing the question of how daily care practices of mental healthcare outside the hospital may be constituted and the importance of spatial metaphors used may inform other practices that want to shape community mental health care
Landeigenaren in Nationale Landschappen
This report contains the results from an exploratory study amongst landowners which reviewed their support strategies for the national landscape areas. To this end, 36 interviews were conducted with landowners (farmers, land managers, recreational entrepreneurs, and country estate owners) in eight national landscape areas (the Achterhoek, Graafschap, Groene Woud, Hoeksche Waard, Noord-Hollands Midden, Noordelijke Wouden, IJsseldelta, and Zuidwest-Zeeland). Farmers perceive the national landscape status as offering them an opportunity to retain their entitlement to reimbursement for nature and landscape conservation. The other categories of landowners appreciate the protection of the core qualities provided by the national landscape status. Een verkennend onderzoek onder landeigenaren naar hun houding en gedrag ter attentie van Nationale Landschappen (NL). Hiervoor zijn 36 interviews gehouden met landeigenaren (agrariΓ«rs, terreinbeheerders, recreatieondernemers, landeigenaren en buitenlui) in acht NL (Achterhoek, Graafschap, Groene Woud, Hoeksche Waard, Noord-Hollands Midden, Noordelijke Wouden, IJsseldelta, Zuidwest-Zeeland). AgrariΓ«rs zien de NL-status als een kans om in aanmerking te blijven komen voor vergoedingen voor natuur- en landschapsbeheer. De andere landeigenaren waarderen het beschermen van kernkwaliteiten door de NL-status.Land Economics/Use,
