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
A new approach to analyze notched paper sheet loaded in mode I, based on cohesive crack modelling, is investigated. The method predicts final failure of the sheet, regardless of the sheet size and initial crack length. Onset of crack growth, stable crack growth and onset of unstable crack growth are predicted. The simulations of the notched paper sheet reveal that the concept of autonomy, i.e. ind

Varför gör vissa bakterier oss sjuka men inte andra? Hur kommer det sig att vissa bakterier lyckas överleva och infektera särskilda delar av kroppen men väldigt sällan andra? Bakterier och människor har evolverat länge tillsammans och har därmed lyckats utveckla specifika angrepps och försvarsmekanismer mot varandra. Det är känt sedan tidigare att några bakterier uttrycker proteiner med förmågan Bacteria and humans have co-evolved since their common existence. They have thereby developed very specific defence and target mechanisms against one another. Understanding the complex biomolecular processes behind these interactions can be of great use for developing treatments against bacterial diseases. The aim of this thesis project was to verify, and introduce a model for understanding, the i
Environmental psychology conducts research, teaching and collaborations focused on the interaction between people and the environment from the perspective of the individual. The subject deals with how people experience their surroundings and are affected by them, as well as how humans affect the environment through their behaviour. The research encompasses the relationship to both the physical a
While the eddy covariance (EC) technique is a well-established method for measuring water fluxes (i.e., evaporation or 'evapotranspiration’, ET), the measurement is susceptible to many uncertainties. One such issue is the potential underestimation of ET when relative humidity (RH) is high (>70%), due to low-pass filtering with some EC systems. Yet, this underestimation for different types of EC sy
This article outlines an experimental and analytical expression study on the consequence of cement constituents, mix composition and curing conditions as regards self-desiccation in concrete. For this purpose nine concretes with three values of w/c (0.32, 0.38 and 0.50), based on two types of Portland Cement, were manufactured. Five per cent silica fume was used in one third of the concretes as ca
Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with
Institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia bedriver forskning och utbildning inom fyra ämnen – antikens kultur och samhällsliv, arkeologi, historisk arkeologi och historisk osteologi. Institutionen har funnits i olika former vid Lunds universitet sedan 1805 men fick sin nuvarande sammansättning 2001. Sedan 2016 rymmer institutionen även Laboratoriet för digital arkeologi (DARKLab), en infraThe Department of Archaeology and Ancient History conducts research and education in four subjects – Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, Archaeology, Historical Archaeology and Historical Osteology. The department has existed in various forms at Lund University since 1805 but was given its current composition in 2001. Since 2016, the department also houses the Laboratory for Digital Archaeo
Direkt Profil est un analyseur automatique de textes écrits en français comme langue étrangère. Utilisant des techniques du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), son but est de produire une évaluation du stade de développement des apprenants sous la forme d’un profil grammatical. Direkt Profil réalise une analyse des phrases fondée sur des itinéraires d’acquisition, i.e. des phénomènes morphos
Protecting the borders is vital no matter the scale – be it a country, a private yard, or a living flesh. Every organism has its defense system and that is immunity. Yet, what immune mechanisms defend our borders from invaders simultaneously allowing for effective colonization by symbionts is a matter of debate. Mucocutaneous barrier is our physical border that is occupied by trillions of commens
