2. 1. 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   Abstract : The concept of resistance is analytically outdated.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.

4. 2. Checkpoint inhibitor-induced adverse events in the CNS - T-cell characteristics and biomarkers

   Author : Sara Bjursten; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Immune checkpoint inhibition; Immune related adverse events to the CNS; T cells;

   Abstract : Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) activate T cells to kill cancer cells by blocking inhibitory receptors PD-1 (nivolumab; nivo) or CTLA-4 (ipilimumab; ipi). Activated T cells can also attack any healthy organ, causing unpredictable immune related adverse events (irAE). The risk of irAE is highest when treating with ipi and nivo simultaneously. READ MORE

5. 3. The Role of Information in Production Ramp-up Situations

   Author : SABINA FJÄLLSTRÖM; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; production ramp-up; information source; Manufacturing industry; information;

   Abstract : To meet customer demands and global competition, the frequency of new product introductions in the manufacturing industry has increased. As the frequency and thereby number of production ramp-ups increases, ramp-up will no longer be an occasional event but will become a part of daily production challenges. READ MORE

6. 4. Structures in complex systems : Playing dice with networks and books

   Author : Sebastian Bernhardsson; Petter Minnhagen; Stefan Bornholdt; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex systems; networks; statistical physics; biological networks; quantitative linguistics; word frequencies.; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Complex systems are neither perfectly regular nor completely random. They consist of a multitude of players who, in many cases, playtogether in a way that makes their combined strength greater than the sum of their individual achievements. READ MORE

7. 5. Simulation-based multi-objective optimization for reconfigurable manufacturing systems : Reconfigurability, manufacturing, simulation, optimization, RMS, multi-objective, knowledge discovery

   Author : Carlos Alberto Barrera Diaz; Amos Ng; Tehseen Aslam; Amir Nourmohammadi; Thomas Ditlev Brunø; Högskolan i Skövde; []

   Abstract : In today’s global and aggressive market system, for manufacturing companies to remain competitive, they must manufacture high-quality products that can be produced at a low cost; they also must respond efficiently to customers’ predictable and unpredictable needs and demand variations. Increasingly shortened product lifecycles, as well as product customization degrees, lead to swift changes in the market that need to be supported by capable and flexible resources able to produce faster and deliver to the market in shorter periods while maintaining a high degree of cost-efficiency.
