Abstract. Polarization array based polarization Michelson wind field detection interferometer is a new type of interferometer for detecting atmospheric temperature and wind field velocity. We proposed a theoretical model and design of the novel static polarization wind imaging interferometer (NSPWII). It consists of a group of polarizers and waveplates, a polarization beamsplitter, a field widened Michelson interferometer, a pyramid prism, and a polarization array. Based on the principle of polarization interference, a polarization array composed of four polarizers with 45° polarization directions differences is directly in front of the detector, and four modulated light beams from the pyramid prism pass through the four polarizers. Then, interferograms with four different intensity are imaged on the detector simultaneously, which further provides the atmospheric temperature and wind field velocity. The advantages of this instrument are static (no moving parts), achromatic, and temperature compensated. It is capable of measuring the upper atmospheric wind field in real time with a high precision.

Individual Risk Factors

This study monitored the evolution of psychologists' (n = 31) conceptions of suicide prevention over the 9-year course of the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland and assessed the feasibility of the theoretical model for analyzing suicide prevention developed in earlier studies [ Upanne, 1999a , b ]. The study was formulated as a retrospective self-assessment where participants compared their earlier descriptions of suicide prevention with their current views. The changes in conceptions were analyzed and interpreted using both the model and the explanations given by the subjects themselves. The analysis proved the model to be a useful framework for revealing the essential features of prevention. The results showed that the freely-formulated ideas on prevention were more comprehensive than those evolved in practical work. Compared to the earlier findings, the conceptions among the group had shifted toward emphasizing a curative approach and the significance of individual risk factors. In particular, greater priority was focused on the acute suicide risk phase as a preventive target. Nonetheless, the overall structure of prevention ideology remained comprehensive and multifactorial, stressing multistage influencing. Promotive aims (protective factors) also remained part of the prevention paradigm. Practical working experiences enhanced the psychologists' sense of the difficulties of suicide prevention as well as their criticism and feeling of powerlessness.
