Personal factors and its association with depression among secondary school children

Childhood depression is a matter of major concern because of its prevalence, potential for recurrence and impairment of functioning1,2. Early depressive vulnerability is an extrapolative factor for depression in adulthood.3 When the number of areas and the speed of change to which adolescents must adapt increase in comparison to childhood, the number of teenagers with mental health problems rises accordingly.4 Hence, currently, more adolescents are reported to experience mental health problems compared to the past.5

Abrupt change of rotation axis in {sup 109}Ag

The electromagnetic transition rates for all the high spin levels of the yrast sequence of {sup 109}Ag have been measured. The observed behavior of the magnetic dipole transition rates as a function of angular momentum establishes that there is a sudden change in rotation axis associated with rotational alignment of two neutrons. The projected shell model calculations give a consistent picture of the observed phenomena in {sup 109}Ag.
