Background: Different types of marital status are associated with different levels of suicidal risk. Aims: To study marital status change and the effect of its recency in relation to suicidal behavior. Methods: Suicide victims (1614) in Slovenia and matched controls (4617) were compared for incidence and recency of marital status change during the last 5 years of their lives. Results: A higher percentage of suicide victims (10.7%) had a marital status change in the last 5 years compared with the controls (5.6%). All types of marital status changes (becoming widowed, getting divorced, getting married) proved to be risk factors for suicidal behavior. Almost half of all marital status changes in suicide victims occurred in the year prior to suicide, whereas marital status changes in the control group were equally distributed over the last 5 years. For recently married and divorced people, the increase in suicide risk depended on age: The risk was higher in older people. Conclusions: Marital status change represents a risk factor for suicidal behavior. The first year after the change is critical for elevated suicidal risk, in particular for older people.

The falls are associated with morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Numerous of functional mobility clinical tests have been created to identify older adults with potential for risk of falls. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the predictive validity of functional mobility tests to predict the risk of falls in community-dwellingelderly. Articles in English were searching in MEDLINE, SCOPUS and CINAHL. We found 18,520 documents and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were part of the final analysis. All articles analyzed included subjects over 60 years old. The results showed that the TUG Test has good discriminative validity for elderly non-institutionalized, but it does not provide an adequate predictive validity for falls. The TUG Test may not be enough as a unique basic screening tool to detect the risk of falling. It is suggested that the TUG Test should be used in combination with other predictors of falling risk tools or should it be reconfigured for the different levels of active elderly functionality.

The Past

Abstract The risk of suicide death represents a significant problem facing older adults. They are less likely to disclose suicidal ideation (SI) and more likely to die from a suicide attempt compared to younger populations. Accurate screening tools for suicide risk are necessary to identify high-risk individuals who could benefit from intervention. The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), considered the gold standard for clinician-administered suicide risk assessments, was not developed for use with older adults. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the C-SSRS’s sensitivity in capturing previous suicidal behavior (behavior subscale) and current intent (severity subscale), both of which are highly predictive of suicide in older adults. 105 adults 60 years and older (M=72.10, SD=9.16; 68.6% female) who endorsed loneliness or feeling like a burden in the past two weeks were enrolled in a larger controlled trial and completed baseline C-SSRS, Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (QIDS), and Geriatric Suicide Ideation Scale (GSIS). Exclusion criteria included significant cognitive impairment. Concurrent validity will be evaluated using random-effects mixed linear regression to test associations between C-SSRS scores and GSIS and QIDS scores, respectively. Baseline responses indicate that 14.9% of participants reported at least one lifetime suicide attempt. Within the last month, 66.7% wished to be dead, 20% had active SI without a plan, 6.7% had active SI with some intent to act, and 6.7% had active SI with a specific plan and intent. Findings from this project will help guide safety assessment recommendations and inform interventions targeting older adult suicide risk.

Errors in the English writing of students have been studied in different levels of education and in different genres of writing in different countries. The study of writing errors is considered essential for improving the writing of students. This systematic review studies the research papers which have been conducted in the surrounding countries of Afghanistan to find out the most common errors in the writing of EFL/ESL learners in this region, and to find the gap in the existing literature in this region. The studies were identified through a search in three databases: The Science Direct, the Academy Publications, and the Scopus journals database. The included studies are conducted in EFL/ESL, focused on errors in the writing, and published in one of the three abovementioned journals. The three databases produced 562 articles, from which nine articles were included in the study based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. After an in-depth study of the articles, it was revealed that the EFL/ESL speakers of English in these countries commit errors in writing, and most of these errors are in the grammatical and mechanics category. The most common errors reported in the studies were in articles, prepositions, punctuation, spelling, and word choice. In these countries, a few genres of writing, such as essays and journals, have been studied.

Base Superalloy

Recently we have been investigating a class of nickel-base superalloys which possess substantial room temperature ductility. This improvement in ductility is directly related to improvements in grain boundary strength due to increased boundary cohesion through control of detrimental impurities and improved boundary shear strength by controlled grain boundary micros true tures.For these investigations an experimental nickel-base superalloy was doped with different levels of sulphur impurity. The micros tructure after a heat treatment of 1360°C for 2 hr, 1200°C for 16 hr consists of coherent precipitates of γ’ Ni3(Al,X) in a nickel solid solution matrix.

Different Levels

Some authors using immunofluorescent techniques had already suggested that some hepatocytes are able to synthetize several plasma proteins. In vitro studies on normal cells or on cells issued of murine hepatomas raise the same conclusion. These works could be indications of an hepatocyte functionnal non-specialization, meanwhile the authors never give direct topographic proofs suitable with this hypothesis.The use of immunoenzymatic techniques after obtention of monospecific antisera had seemed to us useful to bring forward a better knowledge of this problem. We have studied three carrier proteins (transferrin = Tf, hemopexin = Hx, albumin = Alb) operating at different levels in iron metabolism by demonstrating and localizing the adult rat hepatocytes involved in their synthesis.Immunological, histological and ultrastructural methods have been described in a previous work.
