Although dark tourism attracts many scholars from different backgrounds, there is no consensus about its definition. Yet still, it is possible to classify the discussions revolving around the definition issue: The first group focuses on the descriptive side of dark tourism in terms of “sudden death and disaster,” while a second group gives priority to the existential dimension of the dark touristic interest in terms of “never-ending death and disaster.” However, fear appears as a surrounding component of both approaches. At that point, this study questions the relationship between the rise of dark touristic interest since the 1990s and the notion of governmentality of fear. In this respect, the study attempts to make bridge between the existential context of dark tourism and its political dimension with the Foucauldian terms, especially by shedding light on dark tourism in terms of “biopower technology.”

A new measure of the ageing process called the vitality measure is introduced. It measures the ‘vitality' of a time period in terms of the increase in average lifespan which results from surviving that time period. Apart from intrinsic interest, the vitality measure clarifies the relationship between the familiar properties of increasing hazard and decreasing mean residual life. The main theorem asserts that increasing hazard is equivalent to the requirement that mean residual life decreases faster than vitality. It is also shown for general (i.e. not necessarily absolutely continuous) distributions that the properties of increasing hazard, increasing failure rate, and increasing probability of ‘sudden death' are all equivalent.

This article argues that mental health and mental illness are important topics in Joachim Trier’s oeuvre. In Reprise (2006), two aspiring writers face multiple challenges when one of them suffers a mental breakdown and is hospitalized. Oslo, August 31st (2011) chronicles the final day of a depressed drug addict before he commits suicide. In Louder Than Bombs (2015), three family members try to process trauma and loss after the mother’s sudden death; the main character in Thelma (2017) struggles with emancipation while at the same time suffering from strange seizures, seemingly caused by some unidentified psychological issue. Focusing on close readings of central scenes in Oslo, August 31st and Thelma, the article investigates how the relationship between the protagonists and their environment is used to portray mental illness and create insight into the experience of depression and anxiety.

Abstract: Sudden death could occur in anyone regardless of gender either male or female. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between gender and the incidence of sudden death at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive analytical study with across sectional design using total sampling method. The results showed 345 cases of sudden deaths consisted of 209 males and 136 females. The age ranges were 0-1 years (7 cases), 1-18 years (7 cases), 18-40 years (38 cases), 40-60 years (138 cases), and >60 years (155 cases). Coronary heart disease was the leading cause of sudden deaths (40 cases). Data analyzed by using Chi-square test showed a P value of 0.838. Conclusion: There was no relationship between gender and the incidence of sudden death. Sudden deaths were most common among males, age >60 years, with coronary heart disease as the most common cause of sudden death.Keywords: gender, sudden death Abstrak: Kematian mendadak dapat terjadi pada siapa saja, tidak memandang jenis kelamin baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara jenis kelamin dan kejadian kematian mendadak di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang menggunakan metode total sampling. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 345 kasus kematian mendadak terdiri dari 209 laki-laki dan 136 perempuan. Rentang usia 0-1 tahun berjumlah 7 kasus, usia 1-18 tahun berjumlah 7 kasus, usia 18-40 tahun berjumlah 38 kasus, usia 40-60 tahun berjumlah 138 kasus, dan usia >60 tahun berjumlah 155 kasus. Penyakit jantung koroner merupakan penyebab kematian mendadak terbanyak dengan jumlah 40 kasus. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-kuadrat mendapatkan P=0,838. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara jenis kelamin dengan kejadian kematian mendadak. Sebagian besar kematian mendadak ditemukan pada laki-laki, kelompok usia >60 tahun, dengan penyebab penyakit jantung koroner.Kata kunci: jenis kelamin, kematian mendadak

In contrast to the fast (and therefore supposedly ‘painless‘) “death ideal” of much of Western culture, Hutterites consider a slow and drawn out period of dying to be desirable. This extended period allows the dying person to socialize other Hutterians into a joyous acceptance of death's promise of a better heavenly life. The atypical behavior of members of a colony where a sudden death disrupted this pattern is described in this paper and 1) illuminates the relationship between family members and other colonists and 2) suggests that the symbolic use of death in the rebirth rite of baptism is much more powerful than has heretofore been thought. In addition, some general recommendations are made with regard to treating both terminally ill Hutterians and surviving members of their families.

Abstract: Sudden death could occur in any age even among people that look healthy. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between age and the incidence of sudden death. Total samples were 602 cases of sudden deaths consisted of 373 males and 229 females. The age ranges were 0-1 years (17 cases), 1-6 years (7 cases), 6-13 years (10 cases), 13-21 years (33 cases), 21-40 years (110 cases), 40-60 years (221 cases), and >60 years (204 cases). Data analysis showed an abnormal distribution and was continued with the Spearman correlation test (p=0.014). Conclusion: There was a relationship between age and the occurence of sudden deaths. Sudden deaths were most common among males and age range 40-60 years.Keywords: age, sudden death. Abstrak: Kematian mendadak dapat terjadi pada rentang usia yang tidak terduga bahkan pada orang yang tampak sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara usia dengan kejadian kematian mendadak di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Sampel diperoleh dengan metode total sampling. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 602 kasus kematian mendadak dengan 373 laki-laki dan 229 perempuan. Pada rentang usia 0-1 tahun berjumlah 17 kasus, usia 1-6 tahun berjumlah 7 kasus, usia 6-13 tahun berjumlah 10 kasus, usia 13-21 tahun berjumlah 33 kasus, usia 21-40 tahun berjumlah 110 kasus, usia 40-60 tahun 221 kasus, dan usia >60 tahun berjumlah 204 kasus. Analisis data mendapatkan data tidak terdistribusi normal dan dilanjutkan dengan uji korelasi Spearman (p=0,014). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara usia dan kejadian kematian mendadak. Kematian mendadak tersering ditemukan pada jenis kelamin laki-laki dan kejadian tertinggi berada pada rentang usia 40-60 tahun. Kata kunci: usia, kematian mendadak.
