چکیده
Objective: To investigate whether prenatal, postnatal, and/or current maternal depressive symptoms are associated with low level of psychosocial functioning or high level of emotional/behavioral problems in school-age children. Method: As part of a prospective longitudinal study, maternal depressive symptoms were screened with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale prenatally, postnatally, and when the children were 8 to 9 years old.The original sample of 349 mothers was collected in 1989–1990 in Tampere, Finland. Of the 270 mother–child pairs at the latest stage of the study in 1997–1998, 188 mother–child pairs participated and 147 were included. The associations between maternal depressive symptoms at different points in time and the level of children’s psychosocial functioning and problems reported on the Child Behavior Checklist and Teacher’s Report Form were examined. Results: Children’s low social competence and low adaptive functioning were associated with concurrent maternal depressive symptoms. Maternal postnatal depressive symptoms predicted low social competence. The presence of prenatal depressive symptoms in the mother was a strong predictor of child’s high externalizing and total problem levels (odds ratio 3.1, 95% confidence interval 1.1–8.9 and odds ratio 8.5, 95% confidence interval 2.7–26.5). Prenatal as well as recurrent maternal depressive symptoms were associated with the least favorable child outcome. Conclusions: Maternal depressive symptomatology at any time, especially prenatally, is a risk factor for the child’s well-being.This should be noted already in prenatal care.The timing and the recurrence of maternal depressive symptoms affect the outcome for the child.

Emergence of target waves in paced populations of cyclically competing species
We investigate the emergence of target waves in a cyclic predator–prey model incorporating a periodic current of the three competing species in a small area situated at the center of a square lattice. The periodic current acts as a pacemaker, trying to impose its rhythm on the overall spatiotemporal evolution of the three species. We show that the pacemaker is able to nucleate target waves that...

متن کاملCoherent destruction of tunneling and dark Floquet state
We study a system of three coherently coupled states, where one state is shifted periodically against the other two. We discover that this system possesses a dark Floquet state that has zero quasi-energy and negligible population at the intermediate state. This dark Floquet state manifests itself dynamically in terms of the suppression of inter-state tunneling, a phenomenon known as coherent de...
