Popular Abstract in Swedish Depression är ett allvarligt och potentiellt förödande hälsoproblem som drabbar flera miljontals människor i världen. Trots framsteg inom depressionsforskningen återstår flera frågor kring varför vissa individer upplever depression, och andra inte, och varför vissa blir hjälpta av behandling, och andra inte. Den forskning som rapporteras här tar som utgångspunkt hypotesDepression is a serious and potentially devastating health problem, impacting millions of individuals worldwide. Although advances have been made in depression research, there remain a number of outstanding questions as to why certain individuals experience depression and why some respond to treatment and others do not. The present research takes a starting-point in the hypothesis that the existen

Population aging is a world wide phenomenon. Demographic structure and aging affects both consumption and production in an economy, which is analysed in a life cycle setting. Special emphasis is given to aging and the welfare state including the organisation of old age pensions.

This paper deals with the problem of analysing sequences of images of rigid point objects taken by uncalibrated cameras. It is assumed that the correspondences between the points in the different images are known. The paper introduces a new framework for this problem. Corresponding points in a sequence of n images are related to each other by a fixed n-linear form. This form is an object invariant

To support a more holistic approach to the contribution of packaging to efficiency and value creation in the product supply chain, a systematic evaluation method Packaging Scorecard - has been developed and tested in two case studies. The Packaging Scorecard is based on research of functional criteria of packaging and the theories of Balanced Scorecard, a general management approach to evalu

We analyze how firms hedge in the oil and gas industry. Our main finding is that CEO age determines hedging behavior. The probability of being a hedger as well as the use of linear hedging strategies decreases with CEO age. These results are consistent with an argument that financial distress, which sends a negative signal of managerial ability, is relatively more costly to younger CEOs. We also i

Syftet med denna framställning är att aktivera en diskussion kring öppna och dolda värden i gruppforskning. Med sådana värden avses här explicit eller implicit uttryckta önskvärda tillstånd i grupper. Det kan röra sig om t.ex. "effektivitet", "ideala samverkanssituationer", "demokrati" eller "arbetsgrupp enligt Bion". För att undersöka förekomsten av sådana genomgicks samtliga bidrag av till grupp

In many organizations, the Chief Information Officer is considered to preside over a separate function, providing a service to the business. Discussions about governance are confined to properties of this service, e.g. through a service level agreement. Members of the CIO’s staff are often seen as technical experts possessing esoteric skills desired but not understood by other staff. Many research

Cellular neural networks are widely used with real-time image processing's applications. Such systems can be efficiently realized using macro enriched field-programmable gate-arrays. This paper explores the benefits of packet switching and discusses its advantages over a current design based on circuit switching. The implementation is performed using Xilinx Virtex-II Pro P30 and handles around 500
