Suicidal intent as a risk factor for mortality in high-level falls: a comparative study of suicidal and accidental falls

Indonesia as a country that offers a wide range of diversity offers its own uniqueness. But unfortunately the diversity it also has the potential for conflict ( Rahardjo , 2010) . Not only the conflict between cultures and groups, as happened in intercollegiate martial arts such as pagarnusa, PSHT and Kerasakti. Objective The purpose of this study to determine the level of aggressiveness, collective pride and tolerance in three martial arts college , this is one of the factors of conflict is high aggressiveness, collective pride and a low level of tolerance. Methodology/Technique The study involved 30 members pagarnusa , 30 members and 30 members kerasakti PSHT . Research methods with quantitative approach. Findings – The findings of this study are a group of college kerasakti have the highest tolerance, low aggression and collective pride being. PSHT has a high level of aggressiveness being and collective tolerance pride being, while the pagarnusa Group aggressiveness levels that are low tolerance level and collective pride high. Findings The findings of this study are a group of college kerasakti have the highest tolerance, low aggression and collective pride being. PSHT has a high level of aggressiveness being and collective tolerance pride being, while the pagarnusa Group aggressiveness levels that are low tolerance level and collective pride high. Type of Paper Empirical paper Keywords: Martial Arts, Aggressiveness, Tolerance , Collective Pride

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for assessing the structural integrity of a tie member from a bucket-wheel excavator, ESRC 470 model, which was in operation for about 20 years. The tie member is made of S355J2N structural steel. Following the period of operation, the occurrence of microcracks which can propagate by fatigue is almost inevitable. It is therefore necessary to analyze the structural integrity and the remaining life of the component analyzed. Design/methodology/approach – In principle, the assessment methodology is based on three steps: first, the evaluation of mechanical properties of the material component; second, a BEM analysis using FRANC 3D software package to estimate the evolution of the stress intensity factor based on crack length and applied stress; third, risk factor estimation and remaining fatigue life predictions based on failure assessment diagram and fatigue damage tolerance concept. Findings – Following the evaluation procedure were made predictions of failure risk factor and remaining fatigue life function of crack length and variable stress range, for a high level of confidence. Originality/value – As results of this analysis was implemented a program for verification and inspection of the tie member for the loading state and development of small cracks during operation.

Those who attempt suicide by jumping often have a history of major psychiatric disorder, are left with a high level of physical and psychological morbidity and have a poor outcome. Services are failing this group in that national statistics may underestimate its size, and even when patients are in contact and are symptomatic and expressing suicidal intent before the incident many go on to jump. Care in hospital and preparation for follow up is uncoordinated.

New Evidence

In accordance with previous reports, the incidence of biliary candidiasis (BC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) was reported to be 0 to 5%, and the clinical significance of BC still has been elusive. In this study, we prospectively evaluated the precise incidence of BC after PD using the CHROMagar Candida plate in an attempt to elucidate whether BC has a significant impact on the clinical outcomes after PD.Patients and Method. From November 2014 to March 2016, the consecutive 51 patients who underwent PD were enrolled for this study. The bile juice was prospectively collected through the biliary stent tube on postoperative days (POD) 3, 7, and 14 and directly incubated onto the CHROMagar Candida plate for the cultivation of various Candida species. In the presence or absence of BC, we compared the incidence of SSIs.Results. The incidence of postoperative BC was 15% on POD 3, 24% on POD 7, and 39% on POD 14, respectively. Taken together, 22 patients out of 51 (43.1%) developed BC after PD. Moreover, the incidence of SSIs was significantly higher in patients with BC than in those without it (71% versus 7%, p=0.005). BC was selected as the only significant risk factor of SSIs after PD among the various risk factors. Even though a cause of BC is unknown, high level of alkaline phosphatase (cut-off line >300 IU/L) was selected as the only preoperative risk factor of the development of BC.Conclusion. We elucidated new evidence in which BC could be the independent cause of SSIs after PD and should not be recognized as just contamination artifacts. Preoperative assessment for identifying carriers of Candida species might be essential for reducing the incidence of SSIs after PD.
