ABSTRACTBackground:This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a mid- and old-age population who experienced Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan.Methods:One hundred and twenty people, who were mostly Taiwanese aboriginal people aged 55 years and above, were invited to participate in this study. PTSD symptoms were assessed using the PTSD Symptom Scale (PSS-I). Information regarding demographic characteristics, relocation, personal injury, family death, property damage, and self-perceived health was collected.Results:29.2% of study participants presented significant PTSD symptomatology during the previous month. Development of PTSD symptomatology after the disaster was significantly associated with being female (OR 3.63, 95% CI = 1.11–11.88), experiencing relocation (OR 5.64, 95% CI = 1.60–19.88), and having poorer self-perceived health (OR 4.24, 95% CI = 1.53–11.78) after controlling for age, education, personal injury, family death, and property damage. Further, by adding depression into the analysis, we found the risk factors were being female (OR 4.66, 95% CI = 1.16–18.80), experiencing relocation (OR 27.91, 95% CI = 3.74–229.80), family death (OR 67.62, 95% CI = 2.85–1063.68), and poorer self-perceived health (OR 28.69, 95% CI = 4.52–182.06).Conclusion:Nearly 30% of the elderly people studied who experienced Typhoon Morakot developed significant PTSD symptomatology. The risk factors for PTSD symptoms were female gender, poorer self-perceived health, relocation, family death, and depression. The elderly people who were relocated by governmental programs were more likely to develop PTSD symptomatology after experiencing trauma. Resettlement and rehabilitation programs after a disaster need to be more concerned with their psychological effects on victims.

The Impact

Purpose This paper aims to explain the changes to the liability regime for nuclear installations before reviewing the traditional heads of damage under the 1965 Act. It argues that while there is some welcome clarification of what amounts to an “occurrence” in the purposes of the 1965 Act, disappointingly, little has been done to clarify how concepts of personal injury and property damage under the Act sit alongside traditional tort notions leaving the law highly dependent on earlier, but not always consistent, case law. The paper then goes on to consider the impact of the new categories of compensation, introduced by the Order, evaluating the extent to which these draw upon EU law structures for environmental impairment liability. Again, it questions whether this approach will achieve sufficient clarity and certainty. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a desk-based legal research. Findings This study is a discussion of statutory material and case law. Originality/value This paper is a first in-depth treatment of changes to liability principles in the Nuclear Installations Act 1965.

Straipsnyje aptariama kompensacinė valdžios įstaigų atsakomybės funkcija, t. y. žalos, jų padarytos aplinkos srityje, atlyginimas. Plačiau nagrinėjama civilinė valstybės atsakomybė už konkrečiam asme­niui ar jo turtui padarytą žalą aplinkos srityje, teismų praktikos pavyzdžiai, iliustruojantys vieną ar kitą atsakomybės sąlygą, – neteisėtus valdžios institucijų veiksmus, asmens dėl tokių veiksmų patirtą žalą ir priežastinį neteisėtų veiksmų ir žalos ryšį. The publication examines the compensatory function of state liability, i.e. compensation for damage caused by the public institutions in the environmental field. It discusses the civil liability of state for the bodily or property damage in the environmental field, as well as the examples of the case law illustrating the liability conditions – unlawful actions of public institutions, damage caused as a result of those ac­tions and causal link between unlawful actions and the damage.
