    Abstract : Is there beauty in rhetorical failure? This study is an exploration of disorder and death in the Gospel according to Mark (Mk). With a surviving fragment from the second-century theologian Papias of Hierapolis, the early reception of Mk locates insights into the composition of Jesus’s death, especially through the concepts of ataxia and rhetorical failure.

  4. 12. Benefits of Pharmacometric Model-Based Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials

    Author : Kristin E Karlsson; E Niclas Jonsson; Mats O Karlsson; Anders Grahnén; Michael K Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; model-based analysis; pharmacometrics; modeling; disease progression; NONMEM; SAEM; Importance sampling; repeated time-to-event; RTTCE; RCEpT; NIH stroke scale; Barthel index; internal validation; external validation; study power; study design; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : Quantitative pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic and disease progression models are the core of the science of pharmacometrics which has been identified as one of the strategies that can make drug development more effective. To adequately develop and utilize these models one needs to carefully consider the nature of the data, choice of appropriate estimation methods, model evaluation strategies, and, most importantly, the intended use of the model.

  5. 13. Risk Factors for Stroke in Adult Men : A Population-based Study

    Author : Bernice Wiberg; Lars Lind; Johan Sundström; Björn Zethelius; Peter Appelros; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; risk factor; stroke; TIA; lipoproteins; fatty acids; insulin resistance; proinsulin; clamp; cognitive function; epidemiology; Trail Making Test; stroke mortality; dependency; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : In the last decades our knowledge concerning cardiovascular risk factors has grown rapidly through results from longitudinal studies. However, despite new treatment, in Western countries coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death and stroke is still the leading cause of severe disability. READ MORE

  6. 14. Parallelism in Event-Based Computations with Applications in Biology

    Author : Pavol Bauer; Stefan Engblom; Markos A. Katsoulakis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Event-based computations; Parallel algorithms; Discrete-event simulation; Monte-Carlo methods; Systems biology.; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Event-based models find frequent usage in fields such as computational physics and biology as they may contain both continuous and discrete state variables and may incorporate both deterministic and stochastic state transitions. If the state transitions are stochastic, computer-generated random numbers are used to obtain the model solution. READ MORE

  7. 15. Supporting Decision-Making in the Design of Production Systems : A Discrete Event Simulation perspective
