2. 1. Incongruous tense in Swedish : Past and present tense use with deviant time reference

   Author : Per Klang; Ulla Stroh-Wollin; Joakim Nivre; Therese Lindström Tiedemann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; tense; time reference; aktionsarten; modality; evidentiality; mirativity; tense harmony; episodic and semantic memory; the historical present; point of view; direct speech; Swedish; Scandinavian Languages; Nordiska språk;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with incongruous tense in Swedish. Incongruous tense refers to uses of the past tense for events that overlap or succeed the moment of speech, which is normally considered to apply to the present tense, and uses of the present tense for events that precede the moment of speech, which is normally considered to apply to the past tense.

4. 2. Figures of time : on the phenomenology of cinema and temporality

   Author : Malin Wahlberg; Michael Renov; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; film theory; phenomenology; aesthetic theory; temporality; duration; speed; photography; city film; documentary; experimental cinema; Film; Filmvetenskap; Cinema Studies; filmvetenskap;

   Abstract : Image and time represent a favored issue among theorists and practitioners in the history of cinema, where discussion is related to the ingenious machine, the new art, as well as the experience of film. Looking back on this debate, and considering recent accounts of 'time-images,' it is striking to note how the problem has always oscillated between issues of the medium specific and issues of film experience; that is, the ontology of cinema as a time-bound medium, the quality of rhythm, duration, and recorded views, and, not least, the sensory and affective impact of mediated sound-images.

5. 3. An Unpredictable Past : Guerrillas, Mayas, and the Location of Oblivion in War-Torn Guatemala

   Author : Staffan Löfving; Kay B. Warren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ethnology; cosmology; Guatemala; guerrilla warfare and indigeneity; historicity; Maya resurgence; neutrality; politicization of memory; the anthropology of war; theories of social and political violence; Etnologi; Ethnology; Etnologi; kulturantropologi; Cultural Anthropology;

   Abstract : The concept of resistance is analytically outdated. In an emergent anthropology of contemporary warfare and the experience of political violence, concepts like coping and negotiation are adopted to encompass the pragmatics of human agency in times of social unrest, flight, and militarily monitored mass destruction.

6. 4. The presence of the past : a life course approach to the social determinants of health and health inequalities in northern Sweden

   Author : Frida Jonsson; Per E. Gustafsson; Miguel San Sebastian; Anne Hammarström; Ilona Koupil; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; social determinants; life course; health inequalities; long-term health consequences; functional somatic symptoms; northern Sweden; Public health; folkhälsa;

   Abstract : Background: Positioned at the intersection between the social and life course epidemiological sub-fields, this thesis builds on the idea that the health implications of life and living conditions can extend over years and decades before becoming expressed in the population patterns of ill-health. The overall purpose was to assess how multiple types of social determinants of health across the life course may contribute to ill-health and health inequalities in midlife. READ MORE

7. 5. Power-Efficient Continuous-Time Incremental Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital Converters

   Author : Sha Tao; Ana Rusu; Franco Maloberti; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; analog-to-digital conversion; sigma-delta modulation; incre- mental ADC; two-step ADC; continuous-time; biosensor applications.;

   Abstract : Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in the devel- opment of integrated circuits (ICs) for wearable or implantable biosensors, aiming at providing personalized healthcare services and reducing the health-care expenses. In biosensor ICs, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a key building block that acts as a bridge between analog signals and digital processors. READ MORE
