The last 20 years have shown a decrease in perinatal mortality and neonatal mortality. This improvement has led to treatment of more immature infants with lower birth weights. Evaluating perinatal and neonatal care is therefore more and more important. Although major improvements have been made to optimize preterm children's outcomes at the long-term, preterm birth is still associated with neurodevelopmental disabilities. In the morning, lectures to be given will point out the importance of long-term follow- up for obstetric care, the impact of neonatal care on long-term follow-up, important neurobehavioural interventions as well as the current state of the art on long-term outcomes of NICU graduates. In the afternoon, diverse interactive workshops offer the opportunity to increase knowledge and skills on developmental and school age assessments as well as on intervention programs designed to protect the preterm infant's brain at the neonatal ward or post discharge.

Today we are still working together, and input is needed from all professionals and from all sites. Over the past 20 years neonatology and long term follow up care both have improved. Also, parents have an increasingly important role. On the one hand is more known how to support them, and on the other hand they give important feedback on how to improve follow up programs. Follow up care is and should remain an integral part of each NICU. ______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 9.45 - 10.25 hr ‘On the importance of child follow up in decision making in obstetrical care of high risk pregnancies’ Dwight Rouse In my talk, I will discuss why and when long term follow-up is important, when it is less important, and that it is best accomplished with prospective planning. The perspective that I will take is that of a clincal trialist, and I will acknowledge that rarely does an obstetric trial lead to robust conclusions about long term outcome. ______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 10.25 - 11.05 hr ‘How neonatal care has altered long term child outcome. Where next? ’ Neil Marlow Over the past 40 years outcome has improved decade on decade and continues. Careful studies are needed to show this over short time frames. I will review evidence for improving outcomes and then review more recent interventions that may help to improve outcomes. Finally I will suggest areas where interventions may target such outcomes to improve the next generation of very preterm graduates. ______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 11.30 - 12.10 hr ‘Important ingredients of neurobehavioural interventions; what will make a change for long-term child outcome’ Björn Westrup The presentation will discuss important ingredients of neurobehavioural interventions proven to change the long-term outcome of prematurely born infants as well as the implications it has on the system of neonatal care and follow-up - a systems perspective of neonatology. ______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 12.10 - 12.35 hr ‘The Bayley III: a 'new' instrument to assess infant and toddler development in The Netherlands’ Anneloes van Baar This presentation will inform the audience on the progress of the study to create Dutch norms for the Bayley-III-NL. The LNF actively was involved in acquiring funds and support for this project. The information will show the adaptations needed, as well as some preliminary results. ______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 12.35 - 12.50 hr The European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants Silke Mader, Member of the Trustee board of EFCNI is a non-profit organization and founded from parents and professionals to improve the situation on maternal and newborn health and aftercare services in Europe. In 2010 a Benchmarking Report was published to show politicians, but also other stakeholders and decision makers the need to act. One baby in ten is born premature, but a standard of care in Europe is lacking. EFCNI wants to develop and implement standard of cares in collaboration with parent organisations and professional societies. In 2011 EFCNI published and launched a White Paper on maternal and newborn health and aftercare services in the EU Parliament.

  • Annual Report 2010 Kröller-Müller Museum Introduction Mission and History Foreword Board of Trustees Mission and Historical Perspective
    Annual report 2010 Kröller-Müller Museum Introduction Mission and history Foreword Board of Trustees Mission and historical perspective The Kröller-Müller Museum is a museum for the visual arts in the midst of peace, space and nature. When the museum opened its doors in 1938 its success was based upon the high quality of three factors: visual art, architecture and nature. This combination continues to define its unique character today. It is of essential importance for the museum’s future that we continue to make connections between these three elements. The museum offers visitors the opportunity to come eye-to-eye with works of art and to concentrate on the non-material side of existence. Its paradise-like setting and famous collection offer an escape from the hectic nature of daily life, while its displays and exhibitions promote an awareness of visual art’s importance in modern society. The collection has a history of almost a hundred years. The museum’s founders, Helene and Anton Kröller-Müller, were convinced early on that the collection should have an idealistic purpose and should be accessible to the public. Helene Kröller-Müller, advised by the writer and educator H.P. Bremmer and later by the entrance Kröller-Müller Museum architect and designer Henry van de Velde, cultivated an understanding of the abstract, ‘idealistic’ tendencies of the art of her time by exhibiting historical and contemporary art together. Whereas she emphasised the development of painting, in building a post-war collection, her successors have focussed upon sculpture and three-dimensional works, centred on the sculpture garden.

    July-September 2013 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume V., Issue 3. _____________________________________________________________________________________ MURAKEÖZY, Éva Patrícia Peter the Great, an Inspired Tsar Review on the exhibition devoted to Peter the Great (1672–1725) at the Hermitage Amsterdam between 9 March and 13 September 2013 1. Two Pine Trunks Joined with a Bough Grown from One Trunk into the Other, on a Stand. Russia, St Petersburg. First half of the 18th century. Wood (pine); turned. 64.5x99x31.5 cm. Image is used from www.hermitagemusum.org, courtesy of The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. The above object, rather sombre at the first glance (it may evoke the combined images of a guillotine and a coffin in sensitive souls), represents a rare natural phenomenon: the two tree trunks are joined through a bough which grew from one trunk into the other. This piece stood surprisingly unnoticed1 among the items of Peter the Great’s Cabinet of Curiosities but for me it had an obvious symbolic value: the two pine trunks that grew together through a common branch stood for a natural analogue to the growing together of the Russian Empire and the Dutch Republic, through the person of Peter the Great. The strength of the relationship between the Dutch and the Russian nations in the course of the 17th and 18th centuries becomes evident in this brilliant show, as well as the hard-working and stormy character of this Russian emperor who well merits the epithets «great» and «inspired». The exhibition was jointly 1 It took me quite an effort to get an authorized picture of this object since it is featured neither in the exhibition catalogue nor on the website of the Hermitage Amsterdam.

  • Portrait of a Gentleman with a Tall Hat and Gloves C
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Rembrandt van Rijn Dutch, 1606 - 1669 Portrait of a Gentleman with a Tall Hat and Gloves c. 1656/1658 oil on canvas transferred to canvas overall: 99.5 × 82.5 cm (39 3/16 × 32 1/2 in.) framed: 132.08 × 114.94 × 13.97 cm (52 × 45 1/4 × 5 1/2 in.) Widener Collection 1942.9.67 ENTRY The early history of Portrait of a Gentleman with a Tall Hat and Gloves and Portrait of a Lady with an Ostrich-Feather Fan [fig. 1] is shrouded in mystery, although it seems likely that they were the pair of portraits by Rembrandt listed in the Gerard Hoet sale in The Hague in 1760. [1] They had entered the Yusupov collection by 1803, when the German traveler Heinrich von Reimers saw them during his visit to the family’s palace in Saint Petersburg, then located on the Fontanka River. [2] Prince Nicolai Borisovich Yusupov (1751–1831) acquired the core of this collection on three extended trips to Europe during the late eighteenth century. In 1827 he commissioned an unpublished five-volume catalog of the paintings, sculptures, and other treasures (still in the family archives at the Arkhangelskoye State Museum & Estate outside Moscow) that included a description as well as a pen-and-ink sketch of each object. The portraits hung in the “Salon des Antiques.” His only son and heir, Prince Boris Nicolaievich Yusupov (1794–1849), published a catalog of the collection in French in 1839.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Amsterdam, 1 September 2015 Eye-catching entrance hall Van Gogh Museum delivered on time and on budget New entrance building (photo Luuk Kramer) Central hall (photos Ronald Tilleman) Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum has a new entrance on Museumplein, Following in the steps oF its neighbouring Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk Museum. For the new entrance building, Kisho Kurokawa Architect & Associates made a sketch that was further developed, materialized, and realized in a record speed of 18 months by Hans van Heeswijk Architects. This Amsterdam based architecture Firm had earlier completed Museum Hermitage Amsterdam, the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis and Museum MORE on schedule and within budget. Van Gogh Museum: one of the Netherlands’ most popular museums The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is one of the Netherlands’ most popular museums. The ever-growing stream of visitors required intelligent solutions for these buildings, which were designed by Rietveld (1973) and Kurokawa (1999). The design consists in broad outlines of a further elaboration of the elliptical wing of the building that Kurokawa had built in Amsterdam in 1999. Kisho Kurokawa Architect and Associates, the firm founded by the late Kisho Kurokawa and designer of the temporary exhibitions wing opened in 1999, prepared the draft design for the new entrance hall. Hans van Heeswijk Architects then elaborated on this to create a solution in which the existing wing and the new structure form a surprising new whole. “Work to move our main entrance to Museumplein has gone very well,” says museum director Axel Rüger. “It has been delivered within the tight eighteen-month deadline, and on budget.

  • Russia in Amsterdam
    PRESS FEATURE Russia in Amsterdam Amsterdam has age-old ties with Russia, both in the fields of trade, shipping, science, technology and culture. An important impulse was given by Tsar Peter the Great (1672-1725), who resided in Amsterdam for some years. He was very interested in western technology and did not only come to Western Europe to establish diplomatic contacts, but also to study the latest technologies. Many locations around Amsterdam are testament to these ties between Russia and the Dutch capital. Tsar Peter the Great as Amsterdam shipbuilder Peter the Great stayed in Amsterdam in the years 1697-98 and 1716-17, and particularly wanted to learn shipbuilding. He was incognito, but the city council organized various festivities in his honour. In 1697, they for instance offered him a festive dinner at the Hortus Botanicus and a spectacular Spiegelgevecht (or show battle) on IJmeer. Using the pseudonym 'Pieter Migaylof', the tsar worked as a ship’s carpenter for half a year, on the wharf of the Dutch East India Company at the Wittenburgergracht, from August 1697, where at the time the frigate Pieter en Paul was being built. He mastered the Dutch language and regularly acted as an interpreter between Russians and the Dutch. In 1698 the tsar took 640 Dutch engineers, craftsmen and artists to Russia to build a new Russian fleet. Peter the Great admired the way in which Amsterdam had developed into one of the richest cities in Europe within a short period of time and the city served as inspiration in his construction of Saint Petersburg.

The current definition of a museum that was made in 2007 is: “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.”1 ICOM is trying to come up with a new definition and are inviting people to submit a proposal.2 This shows that the museum as an institution is constantly subject to change from within as well as from the outside world.
