Background: From October 2010 through February 2016, Arizona conducted surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) among adults hospitalized in the Arizona-Mexico border region. There are few accurate mortality estimates in SARI patients, particularly in adults >= 65 years old. The purpose of this study was to generate mortality estimates among SARI patients that include deaths occurring shortly after hospital discharge and identify risk factors for mortality. Methods: Patients admitted to two sentinel hospitals between 2010 and 2014 who met the SARI case definition were enrolled. Demographic data were used to link SARI patients to Arizona death certificates. Mortality within 30 days after the date of admission was calculated and risk factors were identified using logistic regression models. Results: Among 258 SARI patients, 47% were females, 51% were white, non-Hispanic and 39% were Hispanic. The median age was 63 years (range, 19 to 97 years) and 80% had one or more pre-existing health condition; 9% died in hospital. Mortality increased to 12% (30/258, 30% increase) when electronic vital records and a 30-day post-hospitalization time frame were used. Being age >= 65 years (OR = 4.0; 95% CI: 1.6-9.9) and having an intensive care unit admission (OR = 7.4; 95% CI: 3.0-17.9) were independently associated with mortality. Conclusion: The use of electronic vital records increased SARI-associated mortality estimates by 30%. These findings may help guide prevention and treatment measures, particularly in high-risk persons in this highly fluid border population.

Title: Analysis of fatal accidents in the Czech Republic during scuba diving from 1997 to present Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to collect and analyze information about fatal accidents in scuba diving, which took place since 1997 to the present on the territory of the Czech Republic, to highlight their possible causes and common denominators. Another aim is to point out causal connection of factors leading to the deaths of divers through case studies of a few selected accidents. Methods: To meet the objectives of the work was used both quantitative and qualitative approach. In the quantitative part of the work were used data collections and analysis of information about the investigated accidents. In the next part of the thesis were used qualitative analysis of selected expert opinions received from expert in the field of diving. Results: The most frequent disabling injury in observed cases is a barotrauma and the most frequent cause of death is a suffocation caused by drowning . An important discovery is frequent neglecting of safety policy and overrating self capability in connection with the level of competence and experience. Keywords: diving, fatal accidents, risk factors

Background: Non-fatal strangulation (NFS) is a life-threatening event in cases of sexual assault. The incidence of NFS during sexual assault is increasing on a global scale. NFS is a gendered crime as most victims are women and most assailants are men and is more common in intimate partner violence. Strangulation victims only have visible neck injuries around 50% of the time, but visible injuries are not a reliable indicator of the severity of the assault. NFS can cause neurological damage from lack of blood flow to the brain and result in physical and psychological trauma. NFS indicates a high degree of lethality in cases of sexual assault and victims of NFS are more likely to become homicide victims in the future. Methods: Information was gathered through a retrospective chart review of sexual assault medical forensic examination forms in a Mountain West state from 2019-2022. Descriptive statistical and Chi-square analyses were conducted. Interrater reliability (Cohen's Kappa) was calculated. Results: This retrospective, exploratory study of 2,077 sexual assault cases found the following variables statistically significant in NFS cases (~27.01% of total cases): age; gender; prior history of sexual assault; established suspect relationship; pain reports post assault; victim hit by assailant; victim reports of breathing changes; increased number of penetrative acts; and anogenital and non-anogenital injuries. Conclusion: NFS in SA are overall more violent assaults. Increased awareness and understanding of NFS during sexual assault will lead to improved medical management, nursing care, and services for victims experiencing NFS.

Barbey d'Aurevilly goza de una gran popularidad hoy en día, y se manifiesta en numerosos estudios. Jacques Petit es el crítico que más ha contribuido a este resurgir. Tras una primera lectura de su creación literaria, la destrucción es el tema más revelador. La muerte era uno de los temas más obsesivos para los románticos, sobre todo para Barbey d'Aurevilly que nació el día 2 de noviembre de 1808, el día de los difuntos. Barbey d'Aurevilly proyecta en sus relatos todas las contradicciones que lo conmueven incesantemente. Advierte que las pasiones, los crímenes, la perversidad, el deseo de destrucción (odio, venganza, suicidio...) no son temas superficiales, en tanto y en cuanto se amparan del ser humano y no cesan hasta ver cumplidos sus actos, esto es, la destrucción. Actos que nos inspiran terror. El motivo del suicidio va acompañado del sufrimiento bajo sus formas: mental, moral, miedo, ansia... La mayoría de los personajes femeninos sucumben a pesar de su maldad, de su satanismo. Su destrucción nos deja en la duda, en la incertidumbre debido al desconocimiento de su muerte. El misterio ocupa un lugar preponderante, nos toca adivinar las causas. La imagen de la mujer es la imagen del pecado, de la culpabilidad, de la maldad. Su belleza aparece como una flor venenosa y peligrosa; por lo tanto, su influencia es siempre perniciosa. El amor que vislumbramos en los relatos es un amor homicida, se muestra destructivo; no existe entre los personajes "aurevilliens". Sin lugar a dudas, el universo literario de Barbey d'Aurevilly es trágico. / Barbey d'Aurevilly enjoys great popularity today, and manifests itself in many studies. Jacques Petit is the critic who has most contributed to this resurgence. After a first reading of his literary creation, destruction is the most revealing. Death was one of the most obsessive for romantics, especially for Barbey d'Aurevilly who was born on 2 November 1808, the day of the dead. Barbey d'Aurevilly projected into their stories all the contradictions which moved incessantly. He warns that the passions, crimes, evil, the desire for destruction (hatred, revenge, suicide ...) are not surface issues, as long as human beings find shelter and never stop until she reached her actions, this is destruction. Terror acts that inspire us. The reason of suicide is accompanied by suffering under its forms: mental, moral, fear, anxiety ... Most female characters succumb in spite of their lawlessness, their Satanism. Its destruction leaves us in doubt, uncertainty due to ignorance of his death. The mystery looms large, we have to guess the causes. The image of women is the image of sin, guilt, of evil. Her beauty is like a flower poisonous and dangerous; therefore, its influence is always harmful. The love that we see in the stories is a love killer, showing destructive, not between the characters "aurevilliens". Undoubtedly, the literary world of Barbey d'Aurevilly is tragic.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-08-30 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O pano de fundo dessa pesquisa é a questão da finitude e da morte como um dos grandes problemas existenciais da humanidade. O fio condutor é a questão da espiritualidade. Sob a ótica de Jean-Yves Leloup, o tabu a ser superado não é o tabu da morte em si, mas da dimensão espiritual não desenvolvida, obstáculo à vivência da morte como parte da vida e como arte de viver a passagem. Composta por três capítulos, esta pesquisa parte da antropologia desenvolvida por Jean-Yves Leloup, que está alicerçada no estilo alexandrino, na mística eckhartiana e na terapia iniciática. Na sequência, a questão da finitude é abordada a partir da concepção de morte fatal, responsável por manter o ser humano refém de sua própria condição. Os três tópicos que compõem esta etapa da pesquisa referem-se à passagem da concepção de morte fatal à pascal, à descrição dos estágios do morrer prescritos pela clínica contemporânea em paralelo com as descrições do tempo do morrer descritos pelas tradições cristã e budista, e ao papel da meditação hesiscasta no processo do morrer. Chega-se assim ao núcleo da pesquisa. Diante do paradoxo entre a consciência da contingência e transitoriedade da vida, e a dificuldade em aceitar morrer, o ser humano pergunta-se pelo sentido da vida, chave que dá acesso à dimensão espiritual nem sempre desenvolvida, mas que inevitavelmente, vem à tona na hora da morte, tema do terceiro capítulo. O ponto de partida desta etapa da pesquisa é a questão do sentido, pergunta que remete à dimensão espiritual. Partindo da questão do sentido, duas tradições religiosas — cristã e budista — são examinadas segundo a ótica de Leloup. A pergunta de fundo é como as tradições religiosas citadas exercem seu papel de facilitadoras do processo de morrer. / The background of this research is the theme of finitude and death as one of the most important existential problems of humanity. What guides this is the concept of spirituality. From the perspective of Jean-Yves Leloup, the taboo to be overcome is not the taboo of death itself, but the one of the spiritual dimension that has not been developed, an obstacle to experiencing death as part of life and and passing away as an art. This study consists of three chapters and its foundation is based on the anthropology developed by Jean-Yves Leloup, which follows the Alexandrian style, Eckhart mysticism and initiatory therapy. It starts with the theme of finitude as it is addressed from the idea of fatal death, which is responsible for maintaining a human being in his own condition. The three topics that comprise this stage of the research refer from the passage of fatal death to the Paschal death, then comes the description of the stages of dying prescribed by contemporary clinic in parallel with the descriptions of the moment of death described by Christian and Buddhist traditions, and includes the role of the meditation practice called hesiscasta in the process of dying. And then comes the main part of the research. Dealing with the paradox between awareness of contingency and the transience of life as well as the difficulty in accepting death, Human beings search for the meaning of life, the key that gives access to the spiritual dimension that is not always developed, but that inevitably appears at the moment of death, the subject of the third chapter. The starting point for this stage of the research is the question of meaning, a question that refers to the spiritual dimension. Starting from the question of meaning, two religious traditions — Christianity and Buddhism - are examined from the viewpoint of Leloup. The fundamental question is how the religious traditions that are mentioned here play a role in facilitating the process of dying.

Japanese video games have existed for decades now; however, the early games often lacked cultural elements and were thus easy to localize in other countries. As video games gained popularity and became more advanced, more of Japanese cultural elements started appearing in the games, which brought rise to translation problems. The localizers had to face the issue of whether to preserve or delete foreign culture elements within the game when these games were released in the West. As game localization of (Japanese) cultural elements is under-researched, this paper focuses solely on cultural terms. It attempts to see whether there is a change of translation techniques and if there is a shift regarding foreignization and domestication from the first game to the latest release within the game series Fatal Frame. The games were played in both their original form (Japanese) and the English localization in order to gather data which consists of cultural terms that appear in-game. Their translation was then analyzed to see if they were deemed to be foreignized or domesticated, followed by a comparison to see if there was a shift in the 22-year gap between the first and latest release. The result indicates that both games used the adaptation and equivalence (paraphrasing) techniques to a similar extent. The latest release preferred using the omission technique compared to the first, while the first game favored equivalence in conjunction with the borrowing technique. However, against expectation, the first game is considered more foreignized compared to the latest release, which goes against the trend seen in other mediums where translations are becoming more foreignized in modern times. This was also the result of a previous study within this area.

Master of Science / Department of Civil Engineering / Sunanda Dissanayake / Rapid increases are estimated in the percentage of elderly among the U.S. population starting in 2010. A majority of the older Americans depend on automobiles to meet their transportation needs either because of lack of public transportation or by choice. Ninety percent of total trips made by the elderly are by personal vehicle and seventy percent of this number involves the elderly driving the vehicles. However due to the aging process, older drivers experience a natural decline in sensory, cognitive, and other mental and physical capabilities as compared to younger drivers. This situation, combined with an imperfect highway infrastructure is making older drivers one of the most critical groups in terms of highway safety, thus demanding safer driving conditions. Safety concern for older drivers arises when the fatality rate per mile driven is considered, as exposure is one of the crucial factors contributing to increased fatality risk of older drivers. Hence, exposure reported in Billion Vehicle Miles Traveled (BVMT) was considered for this study. Crash data and exposure data were used to compute the fatality rates. Sources for this data are the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). A basic characteristics study was completed to compare the fatality risk of younger (16-24 yrs), middle-aged (25-64 yrs), and older drivers (65+ yrs). Crash details were screened to study the characteristics of older drivers involved in fatal crashes. Risk for older drivers due to other involved drivers of all ages divided into groups was studied to understand their distribution. A number of statistical methods like the chi-square test of independence, odds ratio and double paired comparison estimates were applied to study contributing factors of older driver’s increased fatal crash involvement. Results from the characteristics study for the elderly indicate that a majority of fatal crashes occur under daylight conditions with relatively higher seatbelt usage and non-alcoholic driving on straight level roads, which are generally considered as safer driving conditions. Other factors studied include vehicle-related variables like body type; manner of collision; roadway-related variables like roadway function class, month of the crash, and day of the week; and driver-related variables like race. Roadway functional class, vehicle body type, travel speed, number of drunk drivers, and the month in which the fatality occurred were found to have strong correlation with age of the older driver. Results from paired comparisons were used to estimate the fatality risk of older occupants as drivers and passengers under two different conditions considered simultaneously. Older drivers were found to have more fatality risk compared to older passengers. Recommended measures are also discussed to enhance older driver safety in the U.S.

This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the fatal woman motif in the writings and art of Edvard Munch from the early 1890s to 1909. It uses a background of the women in the artist's life as well as the literary and artistic worlds in which Munch participated. Following separate accounts of Munch's relationships with five women, the manner in which the artist characterizes each as a fatal woman in his writings and art is discussed and analyzed. Next, the study describes the fatal woman motif in late nineteenth century art and literature. It begins with a discussion of the origin of the Symbolist and Decadent Movements and an ideological examination of the fatal woman motif as it is manifested in the writing and art of these two groups. In addition, it compares Munch's visual manifestations of the femme fatale with the manner in which the artist's contemporaries depicted her. Finally, this study describes two groups of men with whom Munch was particularly close: the Christiania Bohéme and the Schwarzen Ferkel Circle. An examination of the literary works of these men helps to determine the way in which they affected Munch's pictorial perception of the fatal woman.
