In recent years the longer working lives and the postponing of the retirement age have been topics of extensive discussion in Finland. Disability pensions play an important role in this debate. Working lives will lengthen if the incidence of disability retirement diminishes. Efficient actions can be focused on preventing disability retirement, if the groups at risk of disability retirement are ...

There seems to be something in the air: democratic societies around the world have had a rough time recently. Some, such as Turkey, Hungary and Poland, appear to be moving towards what Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, calls an “illiberal democracy,” soft authoritarianism veiled in the trappings of traditional democracies. The United Kingdom votes to Brexit from the European Union, leadin...

Before we address the mainstreaming of disability from sort to self-determination as well as the salience, success and failure of modern disability welfare policies, some thoughts about what disability actually means are at place: How can this most complex phenomenon be defined and measured – and how can people, their needs, hardships and behaviour, their restricted employment opportunities, li...

Results: To address these objectives, NIMH, working with its many stakeholders, developed a strategic plan for research. The plan calls for research that will (1) define the pathophysiology of disorders from genes to behavior, (2) map the trajectory of illness to determine when, where, and how to intervene to preempt disability, (3) develop new interventions based on a personalized approach to ...

Absfract: Cyclic sulfates 21-23 and sulfite 27 derived from glucofuranose lead to the 3,6_anhydrosugar 28 in excellent yields when treated with sodium sulfite or in basic media. When treated with sodium sulfite, the 3-deoxy derivative 24 fails to give the intramolecular cyclization which leads to the anhydrosugars. Instead it gives the disulfonate derivative 26. 28 was used as starting material...

In the first part of the paper we present a short review of applications of digital differential analyzers (DDA) to generation of circles showing that they can be treated as one-step numerical schemes. In the second part we present and discuss a novel fast algorithm based on a two-step numerical scheme (explicit midpoint rule). Although our algorithm is as cheap as the simplest one-step DDA alg...
