Heart rate variability (HRV) mäts från tidsintervallet mellan två hjärtslag. Tidsintervallet benämns oftast som variation i hjärtslagen. Med hjälp av HRV går det att beskriva vissa av kroppens olika tillstånd. Det finns en naturlig variation i HRV som associeras med ett friskt eller neutralt kroppstillstånd. Ibland när det uppstår en abnormal variation, då kan det innebära att kroppen är i ett strHeart rate variability (HRV) is the variation between two consecutive heartbeats. The irregular variability in this interval can indicate different health issues such as stress. The goal of this project is to correctly classify if a HRV signal comes from a resting state or a state which is affected by stress related stimuli. The analysis will be conducted using non-parametric multitaper spectrum a

Denna studie syftar till att ge en historiografisk granskning av den sovjetiska forskningen om Ivan Peresvetov, en moskovitisk politisk skriftställare på 1500-talet. Peresvetovs verk kännetecknas av till synes sekulära föreställningar, något som motiverade jämförelser av honom med samtida europeiska renässanstänkare i den sovjetiska historieforskningen från 1950-talet. Legitimiteten i sådana jämföThe present study aims to give a critical revision of the Soviet historiography on Ivan Peresvetov, a 16th-century Muscovite political writer. The works of Ivan Peresvetov are characterized by ostensibly secular ideas, a circumstance that motivated comparisons of him with contemporary European Renaissance thinkers in the Soviet historiography of the 1950s. The legitimacy of such comparisons has be
