The short-wave technique has a very particular appeal: It can easily bridge long distances. By reflecting short-wave signals off the conductive layers of the ionosphere, they can be received in places beyond the horizon and therefore can reach anywhere on earth. Although technology is striving for ever higher frequencies, and radio is usually listened to on FM, DAB+, satellite or the Internet, modern means of transmission require extensive infrastructure and are extremely vulnerable. In the e...

This book is about developing projects using the sensor-modules with Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi and ESP32 microcontroller development systems.

The book explains in simple terms and with tested and fully working example projects, how to use the sensors in your project. The projects provided in the book include the following:

- Changing LED brightness

- RGB LEDs

- Creating rainbow colours

- Magic wand

- Silent door alarm

- Dark sensor with re...

We weten de laatste tijd veel meer over hoe het brein werkt, vooral over hoe het waarneemt, hoe het beslissingen neemt en hoe het acties voorbereidt en uitvoert. Dit boek gebruikt deze nieuwe kennis. Het stelt de vraag centraal wat de werking van het brein ons leert over veilig werkgedrag en welke mogelijkheden we hebben om dat gedrag te beïnvloeden. De auteur biedt de lezer daarmee een vernieuwend inzicht in de psychologie die achter het succes of het falen van veel veiligheidsmaatregelen o...

Dit praktische boek gaat over de rol van de eerstelijns leidinggevende in het bevorderen van veilig gedrag op de werkvloer. De leidinggevende heeft van alle partijen de meeste invloed op het gedrag van medewerkers.

Diens invloed wordt in de vorm van zeven competenties en aan de hand van een op feiten gebaseerde casus beschreven. Je kunt deze zeven factoren het beste vergelijken met knoppen, waaraan je als leidinggevende kunt draaien om het gedrag van een medewerker te beïnvloeden.

Uit ongeva...
