  • - Innovative Strategies for Treating and Preventing Heart Disease
    av Ellen Thompson
    162,-

    Heart disease is a significant global health problem, and it is important to continue advancing research and technology to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. While there is still much to be done, there have been significant advancements in the field of cardiology that offer hope for better patient outcomes. Advancements in technology and research have led to improvements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart disease. Telemedicine, medical imaging, drug therapies, medical devices, lifestyle interventions, and personalized medicine have all contributed to better outcomes for patients with heart disease. Personalized medicine, in particular, has the potential to improve prevention and treatment strategies by tailoring them to individual patients based on their unique characteristics.

    Time in Natural Language investigates the relationship between the syntactic and semantic representations of sentences within the domain of tense. Assuming that tenses are semantically composed of three distinct times, Thompson proposes that these times map onto the syntax in a regular fashion: each time is associated with a unique syntactic head. Adopting the Minimalist approach to syntactic theory, this approach makes possible insightful analyses of syntactic structures involving temporal dependency. Thompson argues that, depending on their adjunction site, temporal adverbials modify different parts of the tense structure of the clause. Locating the Event time within VP, it is correctly predicted that an adverbial that modifies the Event time is adjoined to VP. On the other hand, since the Reference time is argued to be within AspP, when an adverbial is adjoined to AspP, it modifies the Reference time. The syntax of temporal adjunct clauses is accounted for in a similar fashion; they may be adjoined either to VP, where they are interpreted as simultaneous with the matrix event, or to AspP, where they are interpreted as nonsimultaneous. Thompson shows that the analysis sheds light on the less-studied issue of the temporal syntax of arguments. Subjects with gerundive relative clauses are claimed to be interpreted in VP at LF when the relative clause is temporally dependent on the Event time of the main clause, and in TP when the relative clause is dependent on the Speech time of the main clause. By extending the syntactic proposal to investigate the discourse-level effects of tense, an original analysis of the discourse representation of tense is proposed. Thompson argues that the discourse representation of tense is based on same primitives and subject to the same principles as the syntactic representation of tense, based on an in-depth examination of the structure and meaning of the temporal discourse adverb then.
