We use rich longitudinal survey and register data on Swedish individuals to examine the relationship between financial strain and mental health. Specifically, we consider the longitudinal relationships between payment difficulties and subjective (self-reported anxiety) as well as objective (psychiatric drug use) measures of mental ill-health. Among previously healthy individuals, payment difficult

This article investigates into narratives of Israeli history and identity and ways in which those can be understood as linked to the transformation of intractable conflicts. By using the case of Israeli New History, this study elaborates on the interplay between master and counter commemorative narratives of identity and history, and the potential impact of that interaction when it comes to the de

A recurrent problem in ecology and conservation biology is to estimate the risk of population extinctions. Extinction probabilities are not only imperative for conservation and management, but may also elucidate basic mechanisms of the regulation of natural populations. The usual way of modelling stochastic influence on population dynamics has been to assume that the external noise is uncorrelated

Numbers or densities of a natural population typically change over time. These fluctuations result from density-dependence mechanisms in the populations or external environmental variations. According to modern ecological research, time series describing population sizes and physical environments tend to be dominated by low-frequency fluctuations, whereas, contrary to this, simple population dynam

In order to cope with damage, plants have evolved a number of strategies. We incorporate two of those strategies, compensatory regrowth and escaping damage in time, into a mathematical model in an attempt to outline under what circumstances one or the other of these phenotypic traits will evolve. Escaping damage in time is accomplished by flowering and setting seeds at a point of time when the ris

The laminar burning velocity is a fundamental property of combustiblemixtures important for kinetic model validation as well as for practicalapplications. Many efforts are directed towards its accurate determination.The heat flux method is one of the commonly recognized methodsfor measuring laminar burning velocity, however, the information on theaccuracy of the method is scattered in the literatu

Research indicates that hybrid ventures face more complexchallenges than other ventures, due to multiple institutional logics. Institutionallogics theory suggests that this is due to different institutional backgrounds thatinfluence actor perspectives and expectations on decision making authority andventure identity, which in turn result in tensions and possible conflicts,especially over time. The

The problem of estimating receiver-sender node positions from measured receiver-sender distances is a key issue in different applications such as microphone array calibration, radio antenna array calibration, mapping and positioning using UWB and mapping and positioning using round-trip-time measurements between mobile phones and Wi-Fi-units. Thanks to recent research in this area we have an incre

Effects of a mindfulness-based program, Compassion and Attention in the Schools (Compas), were studied in 358 pupils in grades 5, 7, and 8 in Sweden. An experimental group undertook Compas practices in class three times a week during an eight-week period. A control group undertook content area academic lessons .

Many modern drugs contain chiral amine moieties and the need for more efficient processes to synthesize these amines in high optical purity and concentration are greatly demanded by the fine chemical and pharma industry. Amine transaminases (ATA) allow for the direct asymmetric synthesis of optically pure amines from ketone substrates. Although academia and industry have been researching ATAs exte

A receiver receives information from a physical broadcast channel signal, wherein the receiver includes a blind processing and decoding unit that utilizes a hypothesis about how many transmit antennas were used to transmit the signal. Received signal characteristics are detected that indicate how many transmit antennas were used.

The end-point of the cloud trend is that all compu- tational and storage resources leave the homes and move to the cloud. We can be rather certain the future eventually looks like this as IT and telecommunications services are commoditised and the end users’ time, interest and skill to acquire and maintain electronics fade away. The network architecture suitable for such scenario will be analysed
