As usual, the initial section of the volume collects a number of publications that could have particular relevance for the Australian people in terms of potential applicability. These publications are accompanied by a short comment from us, and an explanation of the motives that justify why we have considered of interest the implementation of studies’ findings in the Australian context. An introductory part provides the rationale and the methodology followed in the identification of papers. The central part of the volume represents a selection of research articles of particular sig- nificance; their abstracts are reported in extenso, underlining our invitation to read those papers in full text: they represent a remarkable advancement of suicide research knowledge. The last section reports all items retrievable from major electronic databases. We have catalogued them on the basis of their prevailing reference to fatal and non-fatal suicidal behaviours, with various sub-headings (e.g. epidemiology, risk factors etc). The deriving list guarantees a level

  • Crisis Communication
    Crisis communication The case of the airline industry during the COVID-19 pandemic Marlies Nittmann Supervisor: Robert Ciuchita Department of Marketing Hanken School of Economics Helsinki 2021 i HANKEN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS Department of: Type of work: Marketing Master’s Thesis Author: Date: 31.3.2021 Marlies Nittmann Title of thesis: Crisis Communication: The case of the airline industry during the COVID-19 pandemic Abstract: Due to the increasing frequency of crises and the diversification of their causes, a wide range of research has been completed in this field. However, the crisis communication literature has not yet thoroughly covered the topic of public health crises and the corporate communication during such a global event. Further, examples of crisis communication used by companies in particular industries are limited. Therefore, this thesis studies the crisis communication literature to receive a better understanding of the theory before looking at the corporate communications from four European airline companies. A comparative case study approach is used in order to receive an insight into the communication strategies applied by the aviation industry during a pandemic. A quantitative study is conducted, and the web pages, newsletters and press releases are analysed. Based on the conducted research, six main topics of communication are established and compared to the previous findings of the literature. Even though the four case companies share similar information with their stakeholders, they differ in the way they approach the messages, how they communicate and when they engage with their stakeholders. This study adds to the crisis communication literature focusing on public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to the literature covering crisis communication in the aviation industry.

Abstract Psychological strains have been found more prevalent than mental disorders among Chinese rural young suicides, but the association between psychological strains and mental disorders, especially depression and suicidal ideation, is still unknown. For the present study, we used the data from 1,298 college students for a survey research conducted on a university campus in Beijing China, in 2012. Psychological strains were measured by the 60-item Psychological Strain Scales (PSS). We hypothesized that college students with higher scores of strains would report greater levels of depression and also demonstrate greater suicidal ideation. Findings suggested that aspiration strain and coping strain were positively associated with depression while value strain and coping strain were significantly correlated with suicidal ideation.

Markson: The Punishment of Suicide - A Need for Change SPRING 1969] COMMENTS THE PUNISHMENT OF SUICIDE - A NEED FOR CHANGE I. INTRODUCTION 1 Suicide represents a major medical and legal problem. Each year as suicides, 2 in the United States more than 19,000 deaths are reported and this alarming figure does not even take into account the many "acci- dental" deaths which are, in reality, suicides. The reported number of deaths by suicide in 1960 represented more than twice the number of deaths by homicide, almost half the number of deaths by automobile acci- 3 dents, and almost 15 times the number of deaths by aircraft accidents. The number of attempted suicides is unknown but is estimated to be as 4 high as 200,000 per year. The basic purpose of this Comment is to analyze the relationship of the criminal law to a person who has decided to end his life.

    Theatre for Change 1 Editorial ‘The very process of the workshop does so much for women. The process is an end in itself. For women who are not given to articulating their views, women who are not given to exploring their bodies in a creative way, for feeling good, for feeling fresh. Just doing physical and breathing exercises is a liberating experience for them. Then sharing experiences with each other and discovering that they are not insane, you know, discovering that every woman has dissatisfaction and negative feelings, touching other lives . When you come together in a space, you develop a trust, sharing with each other, enjoying just being in this space, enjoying singing and creating, out of your own experiences, your own plays’—Tripurari Sharma Theatre as process—workshopping—is an empowering activity. It encourages self- expression, develops self-confidence and communication skills, and promotes teamwork, cooperation, sharing. It is also therapeutic, helping individuals to probe within and express—share—deeply emotional experiences. Role-playing enables one to ‘enact’ something deeply personal that one is not otherwise able to express, displacing it and rendering it ‘safe’, supposedly ‘fictionalized’. In short, workshopping can be a liberatory experience. For women who, in our society especially, are not encouraged to develop an intimacy with their bodies, who are conditioned to be ashamed or uncomfortable about their physicality, the process of focusing on the body, on exercises which change one’s awareness of and relationship with and deployment of one’s body, offers an additional benefit, opening up a dimension of physicality which is normally out of bounds.

DOI: 10.2478/gp-2020-0014 Received: 27 February 2020; Accepted: 12 May 2020 Abstract Objective: The aim of this scoping review is to map the current landscape of published research and perspectives on physician suicide. Findings could serve as a roadmap for further investigations and potentially inform efforts to prevent physician suicide. Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched for English-language publications from August 21, 2017 through April 28, 2018. Inclusion criteria were a primary outcome or thesis focused on suicide (including suicide completion, attempts, and thoughts or ideation) among medical students, postgraduate trainees, or attending physicians. Opinion articles were included. Studies that were non-English or those that only mentioned physician burnout, mental health, or substance use disorders were excluded. Data extraction was performed by two authors. Results: The search yielded 1,596 articles, of which 347 articles passed to the full-text review round.
