Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this

Context. Open clusters are ideal tools for tracing the abundances of different elements because their stars are expected to have the same age, distance, and metallicity. Therefore, they serve as powerful tracers for investigating the cosmic origins of elements. This paper expands on a recent study by us, in which the element fluorine was studied in seven open clusters; here we add six open cluster

Early diagnosis of hearing impairment in children is crucial to enable successful treatment, prevent further deterioration, and ensure proper development of speech and other cognitive abilities. One of the most commonly used methods for hearing assessment in young children is Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA). The primary challenge with VRA is maintaining the child's attention throughout t

An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin

Forskargruppen bedriver forskning och utbildning på forskarnivå inom aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande. Vi medverkar i flera av Medicinska fakultetens utbildningsprogram på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, samt gör utbildningsinsatser vid tekniska (LTH) respektive samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten. Här arbetar forskare och lärare från flera discipliner och professioner - arbetsterapi, fysioterapi, omvårdnThe group consists of about 25 senior and junior researchers, PhD students and technical and administrative staff. We represent many different disciplines and professions - gerontology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing, public health, sociology, psychology and epidemiology. Many of the employees are licensed health care professionals. The research group is the core of the interdiscipl

We study the deeply virtual Compton scattering off a spin-one particle, which is exemplified by the case of coherent scattering on a deuteron target. We discuss the role of twist three contributions for restoring the QED gauge invariance of the amplitude corresponding to this process. We consider both kinematical and dynamical sources of twist three generalized parton distributions.
