Abstract:
We aimed to determine the effects of baseline (T0) satisfaction with work and leisure time activities on the onset of depressive symptoms at follow-up (T1). In this prospective study in Japan, we included 1841 older adults aged ≥ 60 years. Participants were categorized into both dissatisfied, work dissatisfied, leisure time dissatisfied, and both satisfied groups based on baseline assessement (T0). Compared with the both satisfied group, the leisure time dissatisfied, work dissatisfied, and both dissatisfied groups had higher odds ratios for the onset of depressive symptoms at follow-up (T1). In the subgroup analysis, the both dissatisfied group showed associations with depressive symptoms, regardless of sex. The work dissatisfied and leisure time dissatisfied groups showed associations with the onset of depressive symptoms in only men and women, respectively. The risk for the onset of depressive symptoms was the highest when dissatisfaction with work and leisure time activities coexisted.

03:12Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
