  2. 1. Optional rhemes and omitted undergoers : An event structure approach to implicit objects in Swedish

    Author : Johanna Prytz; Cecilia Falk; Ida Larsson; Marit Julien; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; implicit objects; object omission; null objects; object drop; objectless sentences; pseudo-transitive; non-core transitive; transitivity; Swedish; event structure; argument structure; the syntax-semantic interface; implicita objekt; objektsutelämning; nollobjekt; objektslösa satser; pseudotransitiva verb; transitivitet; eventstruktur; argumentstruktur; Scandinavian Languages;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to define the essential syntactic-semantic properties of three types of objectless sentences in present-day Swedish. The three types of objectless sentences are labeled descriptively as follows: Implicit Object Read type (IOR) with pseudo-transitive verbs like läsa ‘read’; Implicit Object Open type (IOO), which involves various sets of transitive verbs like öppna ‘open’ and bära ‘carry’; and Implicit Object Kill type (IOK), which typically involves destruction verbs like döda ‘kill’.

  4. 2. Gait Event Detection in the Real World

    Author : Siddhartha Khandelwal; Nicholas Wickström; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Brian Caulfield; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gait analysis; gait event detection; wearable sensors; accelerometers;

    Abstract : Healthy gait requires a balance between various neuro-physiological systems and is considered an important indicator of a subject's physical and cognitive health status. As such, health-related applications would immensely benefit by performing long-term or continuous monitoring of subjects' gait in their natural environment and everyday lives. READ MORE

  6. 4. Phenotypic responses of zooplankton to variable conditions

    Author : Marcus Lee; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multiple threats; Plasticity; Risk-Spreading; sexual conflict; ultraviolet radiation; Daphnia; Copepods;

    Abstract : Organisms are continually challenged by multiple threats in the environment, and such threats are seldom constant in either time or space. Therefore, organisms must maintain physiological, behavioural, morphological and life- history adaptations across environments to prevent reductions in fitness. READ MORE

  7. 5. A percentile approach to time-to-event outcomes

    Author : Andrea Bellavia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Evaluating survival percentiles is a possible approach for the analysis of time-to-event outcomes that moves the focus from risk to time, as the proportion of events is xed and the time by which that proportion is achieved is investigated. The development of statistical methods for conditional censored quantiles has opened up the possibility to use this approach in epidemiological studies. READ MORE
