Abstract There is a growing body of evidence supporting the detrimental impact of loneliness on biological, psychological, and social functioning. Loneliness has been cited to contribute to social isolation, mental health disorders, and premature death in old age. In turn, the prevention of loneliness has emerged as a priority area in geriatric and gerontology research, practice, and policy. However, determination of whether persons living 100 or more years feel lonely or socially disconnected has remained limited within centenarian research. Such research has historically fostered translation of insights and secrets for living long and aging well. Centenarians represent persons who have managed to survive, delay, or escape varying biopsychosocial losses that might otherwise deteriorate emotional health, exacerbate feelings of isolation, and limit human longevity potentials. Guided by a biopsychosocial framework, this symposium will consider biological, psychological, and social variants that contribute to risk as well as resilience in loneliness in very old age. Of particular interest is the advancement of evidence-based research exposing the interplay between loneliness and nutritional health, impact of lifelong childlessness on feelings of solitude, role of personality traits and the expression of loneliness, and the intersection between active religious engagement and loneliness. Biopsychosocial attributes that reduce the threat of social isolation and loneliness, as well as improve emotional well-being in human longevity will be further discussed. Implications relevant for geriatric counseling and wellness programming for old-old adults will be highlighted.

The Relationship

ABSTRACTA critique of the study of ageing by sociologists and historians is provided in this paper, on the basis of the comparative neglect of life history studies across the whole lifespan. It points to the skewed nature of studies reported in the literature. As a corrective, results from a UK life history based study are presented. It focuses on leisure, grand- parenting and intimate relationships between adults, leading to conclusions about the relationship between class factors in the determination of late life experiences and self perceptions of the meaning of old age.

One of the characteristics of gasoline fuel is anti-knock property represented by its octanenumber. The determination of octane numbers in Indonesia is by using cooperative fuel researchengines. The usage of cooperative fuel research engines in Indonesia has constraints, i.e. the limitednumber of the units and the old age. This study aims to obtain the octane numbers of commercialfuels by using kinetic models. The kinetics models of the oxidation and combustion of primaryreference fuel and multi component hydrocarbons are used to calculate the ignition delay times ofprimary reference fuel and commercial fuels, respectively. The ignition delay times of primaryreference fuel and commercial fuels are calculated at the same initial pressure and temperature, aswell as the same equivalence ratio. The octane number of a commercial fuel is known if its ignitiondelay time agrees with that of PFR possessing a certain volume percentage of isooctane. The modelgenerates the octane numbers of commercial fuels BB-A being 92.5, BB-B being 94.5, BB-C being89, BB-D being 90.5 and BB-E being 91.5 with the good agreement with those claimed by the fuelproducers. Salah satu karakteristik bahan bakar bensin adalah sifat anti ketukan yang dinyatakan dengan angkaoktana.

Accidental Drug Poisoning

The propensity to preserve and to hoard drugs over the years at home is a well-known phenomenon and offers the possibility for intentional and accidental drug poisoning in man. We report a case of acute theophylline poisoning in an 80-year old women after ingestion of ‘Asthmo-Kranit1 ’, a 35-year old combined preparation containing theophylline and aminopyrine as the main ingredients. The patient developed the typical clinical picture of a symptomatic theophylline poisoning with flush, tremor, tachycardia, hyperventilation, hypotonia, and hyperglycaemia. The clinical course after treatment with beta-blockers was without complications. The determination of theophylline in tablets showed stability of 90% of the labelled amount of the drug 30 years beyond the expiration date. The case illustrates the prolonged shelf stability and pharmacological potency of some pharmaceuticals and points to the risk of longoutdated prescriptions. Physicians should primarily not underestimate drug toxicity in consequence of old-age pharmaceuticals.

For the study of those bee diseases with which no specific organisms have so far been identified, it is important to be able to eliminate bees dying of old age, and this cannot be done with certainty by observing outward symptoms. However, the age of bees, which normally work almost incessantly for about six weeks and then die, may be determined with some accuracy from a study of the brain-cells. With advancing age the cytoplasm of these cells undergoes gradual reduction peripherally, until in senescence only a vestige is left surrounding the nucleus. The condition of the head-glands, including a pair of œsophageal glands which do not appear to have been previously recorded, gives some indication of age in normal healthy bees.

First Time

The article attempts to understand the author’s attitude to the main character of the novel “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin. For the first time, a complete picture of Onegin’s evolution is given. The author proves that the rapture of secular life is just his prehistory; that the search for self-determination of Pushkin’s hero begins with a blues (premature old age of the soul). Communication with Vladimir Lensky makes Onegin reflect on the meaning of life. The highest point of his searches is freedom and peace (at the level of interests of the circus circle). Thoughts on the Onegin’s hypothetical fate are not attempts “to complete” the novel ending, but this is a way to understand the hero more deeply. The poet himself gave an example of such hypothetical thoughts. The “Fragments from Onegin’s Journey” that violate the plot sequence, placed after the notes (end sign), with their tone create a hint in determining Onegin’s hypothetical fate.

ABSTRACTBackground: The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) was fully implemented in October 2007 in England and Wales.Methods: A pilot questionnaire study examined the experience of consultants in Old Age Psychiatry in the early implementation of the MCA pertaining to local policy and training in the application of the MCA, the assessment of decision-making capacity, the determination of best interests, and the use of the least restrictive option and restraint.Results: Fifty-two (27%) of the 196 consultants in Old Age Psychiatry returned useable questionnaires. Seventy-five percent of them reported that local training on the application of the MCA was available, but less than 50% reported that training was mandatory. The vast majority of assessments of decision-making capacity were conducted by consultants in Old Age Psychiatry. Almost all of them reported using the four-fold specific test of decision-making capacity (DMC) described in the MCA. Restraint was reported to be rarely used.Conclusions: Consultants in Old Age Psychiatry generally reported using the criteria for the assessment of DMC, the determination of best interests and restraint described in the MCA. The findings highlight concern about the workload of clinicians in implementing the MCA and this requires careful monitoring. Consideration should be given to statutory provision of training in the application of the MCA by all healthcare and social care providers for all their healthcare and social care staff.

Activity Comparison

When grown as a series of water-cultures, each deficient in one or other of the essential nutrient salts, plants of Phaseolus vulgaris all show a lowered photosynthetic activity. Comparison of the characteristics of this state with those of the lowered activity, due to old age, suggests that subnormal photosynthetic activity in general depends upon reduction of the effective chloroplast surface, and that the magnitude of this reacting surface must be a factor of fundamental importance in the quantitative determination of assimilation. It is well known that deficiency of nutrient salts retards the general growth of plants, as measured by the increase of dry-weight. Since 90 per cent. of the dry-weight of plants is contributed by the process of photosynthesis, it follows that this retarded growth must result, directly or indirectly, from reduction in the amount of carbohydrate photosynthesized.

<p><em>The article is devoted to the determination of the lifespan deficiency of the population of Ukraine. The diagnostics is carried out on the basis of generalization of studies by domestic and foreign scientists in the context of lifespan. Calculations were made on the basis of official data of the State Statistics of Ukraine and the World Health Organization. In the article, by the lifespan deficiency of the population, it is suggested to mean actual shortage of a certain period of lifespan that has resulted from death coming from external and/or internal causes that prevent a person from living to the limits of his/her biological capabilities. The diagnostics is based on the methodology for constructing mortality tables of</em><em> </em><em>average expected lifespan for one year and five year</em><em>s </em><em>old age groups. The results of the diagnostics made it possible to find that the real lifespan deficiency in Ukraine is 12.4 years. In addition, it was determined that the potential lifespan deficiency of the Ukrainians from so-called </em><em>“</em><em>diseases of behavior</em><em>”</em><em> is 2.47 years. It was substantiated that, in the context of overcoming mortality from such diseases as AIDS, active tuberculosis, alcoholism, and drug addiction by adjusting the behavior of the population in society, lifespan can increase by almost three years.</em></p>
