Background: Invasive infections with non-beta-haemolytic streptococci (NBHS) is quite common and presents the clinicians with difficulties regarding which patients are at risk for infective endocarditis (IE). The HANDOC score was developed to identify patients with NBHS bacteraemia who are at low risk of IE. This study was conducted to validate HANDOC in an external cohort. Methods: Patients with

Advances in Earth observation capabilities mean that there is now a multitude of spatially resolved data sets available that can support the quantification of water and carbon pools and fluxes at the land surface. However, such quantification ideally requires efficient synergistic exploitation of those data, which in turn requires carbon and water land-surface models with the capability to simulta

16 april 2026 08:00 till 18:00 | Workshop Curious about what microplastics and nanoplastic look like? Come and explore, count, and talk with us about this tiny, fascinating, yet alarming, world. We will look through microscopes and produce and manipulate art. Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, with micro- and nanoplastics emerging as a significa

Forest soils are generally considered to be net sinks of methane (CH4), but CH4 fluxes vary spatially depending on soil conditions. Measuring CH4 exchange with chambers, which are commonly used for this purpose, might not result in representative fluxes at site scale. Appropriate methods for upscaling CH4 fluxes from point measurements to site scale are therefore needed. At the boreal forest resea

With more advanced manufacturing technologies, small and medium sized enterprises can compete with low-wage labor by providing customized and high quality products. For small production series, robotic systems can provide a cost-effective solution. However, for robots to be able to perform on par with human workers in manufacturing industries, they must become flexible and autonomous in their task

While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior change related to light, activity, and sleep. Groun

This bachelor’s degree project investigates the improvement of the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of forearm crutches for people living with temporary or chronic mobility limitations. The target group of individuals aged 40-65 reflects a wide range of lifestyles, from short-distance mobility to commuting. Through interviews and observations with individuals that belong to the target group,

The external ventricular drain (EVD) is an important instrument in the management of neuro-intensive care patients through its ability to meassure intracranial pressure and to treat increased intracranial pressure by drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, EVDs are associated with the risk of external ventricular drain related infection (EVDRI). EVDRI diagnosis is challenging as symtoms an

Statistical analyses of health effects of air pollution have increasingly used GIS-based covariates for prediction of ambient air quality in "land use" regression models. More recently these spatial regression models have accounted for spatial correlation structure in combining monitoring data with land use covariates. We present a flexible spatio-temporal modeling framework and pragmatic, multi-s

Is there an easy way to analyze interviews, observations and documents? The answer is no. Analytical work is notoriously multilayered and there is undoubtedly more than one approach. But this book shows how it can go more smoothly. The authors maintain that all analysis involves three activities: sorting, reducing and arguing. If the researcher or student can sort and organize the material, cut o
