The accuracy of information contained in coroners' records of suicide obviously affects the validity of data reported in ex post facto suicide studies. The reliability of coroner-assigned suicide motives has been questioned by Shneidman and Farberow (1961) on the basis that coroners' investigators lack sophistication in behavioral research methodology. Andress (1976) suggested that coroners tend to over-assign the motive of Depression/Despondency because they view suicide as a symptom of depression. The present study compared coroner- and psychologist-assigned motives in 166 suicides committed in Riverside County, California between January, 1973 and June, 1974. A Spearman's rank-order correlation of .81 between motives assigned by coroners and psychologists was obtained. Depression was assigned by coroners significantly more often than by the psychologists. The psychologists assigned marital difficulties and sexual problems significantly more often than did coroners. Because of a high percentage of interobserver agreement, it is suggested that more confidence in coroner-assigned motives may be warranted.

Free Throw Shooting Effectiveness in Basketball Matches of Men and Women Points scored in a basketball match by successful shooting of free throws have a significant share on the total team's score. Free throw shooting in basketball is a specific individual activity of an individual equally important in both men's and women's categories. The aim of the work is to contribute to the knowledge on the successfulness of free throw shooting in men and women in competition basketball matches of the Slovak Basketball Association in various age categories. The main task was to process data in both categories and to compare them mutually. Ex post facto research methodology was used. Methods of documents analysis, percentage of effectiveness and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U- test were employed. The rate of success of free throw shooting was detected and compared separately in men's and women's categories. We mutually compared the rate of success in all age categories. In men's categories the shooting successfulness was slightly oscillating. In women's categories the presumption of a fluent increase in the percentage of free throw shooting successfulness was not confirmed. When comparing the successfulness of men's and women's teams in various age categories, a statistically significant value in favour of women aged 13-14 years and 15-16-years, as well as in favour of men aged 18 and older extraleague players was recorded. In future research we propose age differentiation of the observed men and women in adult category, to analyze in details the reasons for the percentage growth or decrease observed, the rate of success of free throwing especially in youth age categories.

Indonesian education requires every student to do research. Every time you carry out research, there are many methods in the manufacturing process which are commonly referred to as research methodologies, which are useful for distinguishing the types of research being carried out. There are several kinds of research methodologies including quantitative, qualitative, pure, applied, evaluation, descriptive, explanatory, experimental, non-experimental, ex post facto methodologies, surveys, case studies, and action research which have specific characteristics, weaknesses and strengths. By conducting literature studies and content analysis approaches, I got a new pattern in conducting research, namely combining two types of research, qualitative and quantitative, which were previously deemed impossible. What we have summarized in this article is for the development of Indonesia's educational civilization.

Research aims to understand gyrations cash pt .Had provided nusantara viii , liquidity to pt .Had provided nusantara viii , and to know the influence of gyrations cash on the level of liquidity to PT .Perkebunan nusantara VIII sukabumi .The methodology used is the method ex-post facto capital .This research using primary and secondary data obtained from financial reports and non financial from pt .Pekebunan nusantara viii sukabumi .To test hypotheses used linear regression and the correlation with on the spss 15.0 for windows. Based on the results of research shows that there is a positive influence between second match of cash and liquidity pt .Had provided nusantara viii sukabumi .A level of closeness ( correlation ) the second variables strong enough , are r = 0,800 with a value of a correlation coefficient r & gt; 0 it means if cash second match of getting up and liquidity will increase , and vice versa . While from the results of the equation above the results linear regression simple as follows: y = 185,137 + 0,045x means value ( a ) or constant of 185,137 who have the meaning that if cash two zero ( 0 ) or not increased so level of 185,137 liquidity .The score regression ( b ) of 0,045 the show the relation in line that every 1 increase point in cash and two rate rose to 185,137 liquidity

Los(as) investigadores(as) del comportamiento organizacional consideran la satisfacción laboral como una variable dependiente importante. Esta investigación pretendió conocer qué factores son predictores de la satisfacción laboral de las educadoras beliceñas. El estudio fue de tipo ex post facto, descriptivo y correlacional. La unidad de observación fue la educadora que labora en el nivel de enseñanza parvularia, primaria y secundaria en centros escolares gubernamentales y denominacionales de Belice. Los datos se recolectaron mediante un cuestionario que se aplicó a 1,360 educadoras en 269 centros escolares beliceños. Se utilizaron diferentes pruebas de significación estadística como la prueba de regresión lineal múltiple y el análisis multivariado de varianza, entre otras. Los resultados muestran que ocho variables de investigación son predictoras de la satisfacción laboral de las educadoras beliceñas. También se observaron efectos significativos sobre la satisfacción laboral de algunas variables demográficas. La mayoría de las educadoras beliceñas indicaron estar satisfechas en su trabajo debido a su amor por los(as) estudiantes y por la profesión docente. Las educadoras expresaron sus razones y aportaron recomendaciones al respecto. En general, los hallazgos de esta investigación son positivos, aunque existen aspectos susceptibles de ser mejorados relacionados con las condiciones laborales, la supervisión, el reconocimiento de logros y el trato equitativo, entre otros. Los resultados obtenidos mediante esta investigación proveen al Ministerio de Educación de Belice y a las instituciones denominacionales que administran centros escolares en el país, información que podrá ser utilizada para tomar las medidas correctivas que sean necesarias en los programas de calidad de vida en el trabajo, que apuntan a lograr que la labor educativa sea más gratificante para sus trabajadores(as).

This study intended to investigate the effect of social support and hope simultaneously and independently on resilience in adolescents. This study used quantitative methods with ex post facto design. Multistage random sampling techniques were used, which resulted in a sample of 291 adolescents in junior high school from Pagentan district, Central Java, Indonesia. They completed three questionnaires of social support, hope, and resilience. The validity of the instruments used was measured by psychology measurement experts (content validity). Then, the reliability of the instruments was analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha. The Cronbach’s alpha for each instrument was 0,854 (social support), 0,835 (hope), and 0,778 (resiliency). Data were analyzed using multiple regression at the significance level of 0,05. The results of the study reveal that there is an effect of social support and hope simultaneously and independently on resilience in adolescents. There are effective contributions of social support and hope to the resilience of about 41% (from social support 13,2% and hope of 27,8% respectively).
