    Dit onderzoek heeft ons veel inzicht gegeven over de dynamiek van een regenwormenpopulatie en dat het goed in kaart brengen van een regenwormenpopulatie daarmee nog niet zo eenvoudig is. Het voorjaar van 2021 was bijvoorbeeld een stuk natter dan 2020 en de aantallen regenwormen waren in 2021 daarmee ook ruim vier keer hoger dan in 2020 voor de graslandpercelen in Ferwoude (Fig. B1). De belangrijkste conclusie is dat alles in het boerenland draait om water. Regenwormen blijven namelijk actief als de bodem vochtig is en dat betekent dat ze hun belangrijke werk als ecosysteem-bouwer kunnen blijven uitvoeren en dat ze beschikbaar blijven voor al die wormeneters van het boerenland (Onrust et al. 2019, Rundgren 1975)

    Background: The impact of spousal bereavement on mental health varies among the widowed. More information is needed on factors influencing bereavement outcome. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study on a sample of 216 widowed individuals. Initial non-response was high, with only 8% of all approached persons participating in the study. The influence of demographic and psychosocial predictors on four general outcome measures (depression, anxiety, somatization, and quality of life) and one loss-related outcome (complicated grief) was studied by means of backward linear regression analysis. Further analyses were performed to explore the possibility of a buffer effect. Results: Depressive symptomatology was best predicted by: age, duration of widowhood, perceived non-supportiveness, physical disorders, and mastery. The other outcome measures were predicted by the same predictors supplemented by gender and education. Mastery interacted with the number of physical disorders while perceived social support interacted with duration of widowhood and age. Conclusions: Enhancement of mastery should probably be one of the components of effective support for widowed individuals most vulnerable to psychiatric complications. The widowed could furthermore benefit from social support. Obviously, these suggestions need to be further examined in longitudinal research with more representative samples. © 2006 International Psychogeriatric Association
