SummaryThe author studied the significance of ethnic origin and immigrant status in attempted suicide. Epidemiological data (1969–72) indicated that self-poisoning among West Indian immigrants in Birmingham was less prevalent than among natives there but more prevalent than in the West Indies. The association of recent pregnancy with attempted suicide among young immigrant patients was noteworthy.Attempted suicide among immigrants was often relatively benign; few abused alcohol or drugs or made repeated attempts. The markedly lower male rate of attempted suicide, and its rarity in older persons, confirms previous findings.

Crossing over, the exchange of DNA between the chromosomes during meiosis, contributes significantly to genetic variation. The rate of crossovers (CO) varies depending upon the taxon, population, age, external conditions, and also, sometimes, between the sexes, a phenomenon called heterochiasmy. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the male rate of all crossover events (mCO) is typically nearly double the female rate (fCO). A previous, PCR-based genotyping study has reported that the disparity decreases with increasing parental age, because fCO rises while mCO remains stable. We revisited this topic using a fluorescent tagged lines approach to examine how heterochiasmy responded to parental age in eight genomic intervals distributed across the organism’s five chromosomes. We determined recombination frequency for, on average, more than 2000 seeds, for each interval, for each of four age groups, to estimate sex-specific CO rates. mCO did not change with age, as reported previously, but, here, fCO did not rise, and thus the levels of heterochiasmy were unchanged. We can see no methodological reason to doubt that our results reflect the underlying biology of the accessions we studied. The lack of response to age could perhaps be due to previously reported variation in CO rate among accessions of Arabidopsis.

The regulation of iron supply to plasma was studied in male rate. Repeated exchange transfusions were first carried out with plasma from iron-deficient or iron-loaded animals. There was no recognizable effect on the amount of iron entering the plasma as evidenced by plasma iron concentration or iron absorption by recipient animals. In other studies, iron compounds having different tissue distribution were injected. Subsequent iron release was greater from reticuloendothelial cells than from other iron-loaded tissues. When requirements for transferrin iron were increased by exchange transfusion with high reticulocyte blood, within minutes there was a doubling of the rate of tissue iron donation. It was concluded from these studies that (1) iron turnover in the plasma is primarily determined by the number of tissue receptors for iron, particularly those of the erythron, (2) that the amount of iron supplied by each donor tissue is dependent on the output of other donor tissues, and (3) that a humoral mechanism regulating iron exchange is unlikely in view of the speed of response and magnitude of changes in plasma iron turnover. It is proposed that there is some direct mechanism that determines the movement of iron from donor tissues to unsaturated transferrin binding sites.

Cá lia thia hay cá xiêm đá (Betta splendens) là một loài cá cảnh nước ngọt đặc trưng được nuôi làm cảnh hoặc giải trí thông qua hình thức chọi cá. Nghiên cứu này nhằm tìm ra liều lượng hormone 17α - Methyltestosterone (17α - MT) thích hợp bổ sung vào thức ăn để nâng cao tỷ lệ đực của cá lia thia. Cá bột sau khi hết noãn hoàng cho ăn thức ăn có bổ sung hormone 17α - MT liên tục trong 21 ngày với liều lượng 0, 20, 40 và 60 mg 17α - MT/kg thức ăn, tương ứng với nghiệm thức NT1, NT2, NT3 và NT4. Cá giống được nuôi tiếp tục đến 60 ngày tuổi để xác định tăng trưởng, tỷ lệ sống và tỷ lệ chuyển giới tính trên cá. Kết quả cho thấy tăng trưởng và tỷ lệ sống thì khác biệt không có ý nghĩa thống kê giữa các nghiệm thức (p>0,05). Tỷ lệ đực và chiều dài các vây ở NT3 cao hơn có ý nghĩa thống kê so với NT1 và NT2 (p<0,05), tuy nhiên khác biệt không có ý nghĩa thống kê so với NT4 (p>0,05). Nghiệm thức NT3 đạt tỷ lệ đực hóa (93,8%), hiệu suất đực hóa (84,6%) cao nhất và khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê giữa các nghiệm thức (p<0,05). Nghiên cứu này cho thấy bổ sung hormone 17α - MT vào thức ăn với liều lượng 40 mg 17α - MT/kg sẽ làm tăng tỷ lệ cá lia thia đực. ABSTRACT Lia thia fish commonly called the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is a specific freshwater aquarium fish, which raising as pet or for entertainment through fish fighting. This study aimed to find out the appropriate dosage of 17α - Methyltestosterone (17α - MT) hormone supplemented into feed to enhance masculinization rate of Siamese fighting fish. Frys after completing yolk digestion were fed with 17α - MT supplemented feed continuously for 21 days at dose of 0, 20, 40 and 60 mg 17α - MT per kg of feed, respectively treatment of NT1, NT2, NT3 and NT4. Fingerlings were kept being grown for up to 60 days of age to determine the growth, survival and transsexual rates on fish. The results showed that growth and survival rates of fish were not significantly different among treatments (p>0.05). Male rate and the fin lengths of fish in treatment of NT3 were statistically higher than those treatment of NT1 and NT2 (p<0.05); however, there were not significant difference compared to treatment of NT4 (p>0.05). Masculinization rate (93,8%) and masculinizing efficiency (84,6%) in treatment of NT3 were highest and there was statistically significant difference among the treatments (p<0.05). This research showed that supplement of 17α - MT into the feed at a dose of 40 mg 17α - MT per kg of feed increased the rate of male Siamese fighting fish.

Women in the Middle East and North Africa (MNA) comprise a large untapped economic resource. Indeed, a 2003 World Bank Report1 concludes that had MNA countries utilized their female labor force potential as other regions did, per capita income would have grown by an additional 0.7 percent during the 1990s. This would also have translated into a 20-25 percent increase in net family income had women worked outside the home. But the reality is starkly different; gender unemployment gaps in the region are the highest in the world with the female unemployment rate being six percentage points higher than the male rate (2003

Female unemployment in Australia is usually about double the male rate and is the visible manifestion of one social problem facing a "minority group." The methods used to calculate unemployment statistics, however, underestimate the severity of the problem. The aim of this paper is to indicate the extent of "hidden unemployment", that is those who are unemployed, but not counted in the official statistics.

After infrainguinal endovascular treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it is uncertain whether single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) should be preferred. This study investigated major adverse limb events (MALE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between patients receiving SAPT and DAPT. Patient data from three centers in the Netherlands were retrospectively collected and analyzed. All patients treated for PAD by endovascular revascularization of the superficial femoral, popliteal, or below-the-knee (BTK) arteries and who were prescribed acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel, were included. End points were 1-, 3-, and 12-month MALE and MACE, and bleeding complications. In total, 237 patients (258 limbs treated) were included, with 149 patients receiving SAPT (63%) and 88 DAPT (37%). No significant differences were found after univariate and multivariate analyses between SAPT and DAPT on 1-, 3-, and 12-month MALE and MACE, or bleeding outcomes. Subgroup analyses of patients with BTK treatment showed a significantly lower 12-month MALE rate when treated with DAPT (hazard ratio 0.33; 95% confidence interval 0.12–0.95; p = 0.04). In conclusion, although patient numbers were small, no differences were found between SAPT and DAPT regarding MALE, MACE, or bleeding complications. DAPT should, however, be considered over SAPT for the subgroup of patients with below-the-knee endovascular treatment.
