  3. 2. Be for meg også : Om forkrøpling og lengsel etter forløsning i moderne litteratur og poetikk

    Författare :Kari Lovaas; Helene Blomqvist; Anders E. Johansson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Hamsun; Celan; Benjamin; Agamben; Ørstavik; Næss; Ahlin; creatureliness; remembrance; profanation; messianism; political theology; postsecularism; the Fall; Hamsun; Celan; Benjamin; Agamben; Ørstavik; Næss; Ahlin; creatureliness; remembrance; profanering; messianisme; politisk teologi; postsekulær teori; syndefall; Comparative Literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the ways in which the biblical narrative of the Fall, and more specifically the predicament of creatureliness (connoting innocence as well as depravation), can be traced as a cryptotheological motif within widely dissimilar modernist poetics and literary strategies. Postsecular theory and the return to the apostle Paul in recent political theology provide the backdrop for the seemingly disparate approaches of my case studies. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Defense-related inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity: Insights from neuroimaging and monozygotic twins on related cortical processes and clinical potential

    Författare :John Jonsson Eskelin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microneurography; MEG; EEG; MRI; blood pressure; defence reaction; cortical autonomic network;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates a physiological phenomenon observed in the peripheral sympathetic nervous system in response to various stressors and tries to bring it closer to clinical research. Sudden surprising stimulation can evoke a transient inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity to blood vessels in the human body which is also predictive of the blood pressure response. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Investigations of human cortical processing of gentle touch. A study with time-resolved electro-magnetic signal analysis

    Författare :Elin Eriksson Hagberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aβ afferent; C-tactile; touch; EEG; MEG; SEEG;

    Sammanfattning : The present work summarizes investigations of the temporal correlates of brain activity elicited by gentle, moving touch on the hairy skin in healthy participants and in epilepsy patients. Light touch to the hairy skin activates two distinct afferent classes: fast conducting, Aβ afferents and slowly conducting C-tactile (CT) afferents. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On Neuromagnetic Assessment of the Contingent Negative Variation

    Författare :Leif Hultin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; contingent negative variation; MEG; glial buffering current; iso-field maps; CNV; magnetoencephalography;

    Sammanfattning : The contingent negative variation, CNV, is a cognitive process related to anticipation and motor preparation. In the present work the CNV was studied by the use of magnetoencephalography, MEG. LÄS MER
