Aims and method To examine gender differences in self-reported depression and prescribed antidepressants (ADs). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess depression, and information on prescribed ADs was obtained from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. Results Depression was reported by 11.7% of the participants (12.3% men and 11.2% women). ADs were prescribed for 7.6% of ...

TAKE HOME MESSAGES: 1. Average milk yield was similar for cows in ADS-ST or KK (91.2 vs. 93.0 lbs/d) pens. 2. 1st lactation heifers in the KK pen tended to produce more milk (83.4 vs. 81.0 lbs/d). 3. The initial investment for the ADS-ST was less ($58,500 vs. $118,067). a. ADS-ST = $234/cow vs. $472/cow for the KK coolers. 4. ADS-ST used less electricity, water and had lower daily costs ($27.30...

The use of automated dispensing systems (ADS), also known as automated dispensing cabinets (ADC), unit-based cabinets (UBC), automated dispensing devices (ADD), automated distribution cabinets and automated dispensing machines (ADM), in hospitals is increasing. In 2011, 40% of US hospital pharmacies had a decentralised inpatient medication distribution system and 89% of those used ADS 1. There ...

UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES. This article examined exposure to and appraisal of care-related stressors associated with use of adult day services (ADS) by family caregivers of individuals with dementia. METHODS Using a within-person withdrawal design (A-B-A-B), we compared caregivers' exposure to and appraisal of behavior problems on days their relative attended and did not attend ADS. Participants ...

To raise the transmission rate of wireless multicast system, an efficient transmission scheme based on adaptive demodulation (ADS) is proposed. Firstly, the working principle how ADS can exploit user’s transmission ability better is described. Then, the bit mapping method of ADS is formulated. Finally, to analyze the transmission ability of ADS, the expression of transmission rate is derived. N...

Web advertising has taken many forms, including those that appear within the Web page as an inline graphic, as well as those that "pop up" (over) or "pop under" a browsing window. Grounded in the concepts of perceived intrusiveness and the dual-process theory of cognition and perception, research provides theory-based expectations about how users come to view these ads as irritating and intrusi...

The quantum Anti-de Sitter (AdS) group and quantum AdS space is discussed. Ways of getting the quantum AdS group from real forms of quantum orthogonal group are presented. Differential calculus on the quantum AdS space are also introduced. In particular, reality of differential calculus are given. We set up explicit relationships between quantum group and quantum algebra, which can be refereed ...

Although the societal advantages of responsible advertising are self-evident, no detailed vision of responsible ads exists. Without this vision, stakeholders have no framework for identifying, preventing, and remedying non-conforming ads. To address this problem, the four basic properties of responsible ads – consistent with an everyday-language, business-oriented definition of responsibility a...
