Prevalence of Postpartum Depression; a longitudinal study
Background: Mothers are highly vulnerable to depression within the first year after childbirth. Approximately 10-20% of mothers suffer from depression during this period, and half of these women with symptoms of prominent postpartum depression (PPD) remain undiagnosed. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most widely applied screening instrument for PPD evaluation. In this stu...
متن کاملWhen Truces Collapse: A Longitudinal Study of Price-Adjustment Routines
We analyze the microfoundations of the routine in a study of price-adjustment processes at a manufacturing firm. Existing theory says that truces balance cognitive and motivational differences across functions, but there is scant evidence on how truces work. We show both stability and change in routines. For minor price adjustments, routines incorporate truces in stable but separate market inte...
متن کاملIntegration of Software Measurement Supporting Tools: A Mapping Study
During software projects, it is necessary to collect, store and analyze data to support decision making at project and organizational levels. Software measurement is a key practice to process quality improvement and project management. Given the nature of measurement activities, supporting tools are essential. Different tools can be combined to support the measurement process and provide the ne...
متن کاملWhen Does Food Stop Being a Luxury? Evidence from Quadratic Engel Curves with Measurement Error
Using quadratic Engel curves with measurement errors, we identify the proportion of urban households in Ethiopia for whom food exhibits the characteristics of a luxury commodity. The threshold welfare level beyond which food ceases to be a luxury is found to lie between the 35 and 47 percentiles of the total expenditure distribution. This suggests that policy aimed at reducing food poverty shou...
متن کاملA Divergence Measure for Combining Super-Efficiency Scores in Performance Measurement of Two-Stage Production Systems
In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) internal sub-processes of the production units are ignored. The current paper develops a network-DEA super-efficiency model to compare the performance of efficient network systems. A new ranking method is developed by aggregating the computed super-efficiency scores with a J-divergence measure. The proposed approach is then applied to evaluate...
