Stack, Steven, Karolina Krysinska, and David Lester. "Gloomy Sunday: Did the “Hungarian Suicide Song” Really Create a Suicide Epidemic?" OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying 56, no. 4 (June 2008): 349–58. http://dx.doi.org/10.2190/om.56.4.c.
Full textAbstract:
The effect of art on suicide risk has been a neglected topic in suicidology. The present article focuses on what is probably the best known song concerning suicide, Gloomy Sunday, the “Hungarian suicide song.” An analysis of historical sources suggests that the song was believed to trigger suicides. It was, for example, banned by the BBC in England until 2002. The alleged increase in suicides in the 1930s associated with the playing of the song may be attributed to audience mood, especially the presence of a large number of depressed persons as a result of the Great Depression. The influence of music on suicide may be contingent on societal, social, and individual conditions, such as economic recessions, membership in musical subcultures, and psychiatric disturbance. Further research is needed on art forms, such as feature films, paintings, novels, and music that portray suicides in order to identify the conditions under which the triggering of suicides occurs.

People with schizophrenia have a high risk of attempting suicide. This research is a case study that aims to see the effectiveness of Art Therapy to reduce the intensity of suicide in schizophrenic sufferers. The method of data collection is using the Suicidality Intention Scale given before and before the intervention. After 10 intervention sessions, the results showed a decrease in the intensity of suicide. This result is relatively stable after therapy which is characterized by a decrease in the number of suicides.

Full textAbstract:
Sir: Thompson (Psychiatric Bulletin, August 1999, 23, 449–451), states ‘the Suicide Act of 1961 prohibits others from encouraging suicide’, and concludes that there may, therefore, exist ‘legal grounds' sanctioning suicide Websites. These suggested measures include possibly tracing Vulnerable individuals' who have disclosed suicidal thoughts, or who have communicated, for example, by way of the site bulletin board, that they have just acted on their suicidal ideation. Yet, it is difficult to see how there could be legal grounds propelling health care professionals (presumably), or any other individual, into such interventions. The Suicide Act 1961, prohibits the ‘aiding and abetting’ of suicide, but this is not necessarily synonymous with merely ‘encouraging’ suicide per se. Criminal liability arises in circumstances where a person takes active steps in assisting the suicide of another, such as by telling someone the amount of a drug required to secure death and leaving this within their reach. The Suicide Act 1961 does not extend to Scotland, although any individual taking similarly unambiguous steps to assist another in suicide might face ‘art and part’ liability in the aiding and abetting of a suicide, possibly resulting in a charge of culpable homicide. Neither does it apply to other countries, and it must be borne in mind that assistance in suicide is not a crime everywhere. Therefore, there can exist no competent application of the English law or governmental quantitative targets over the conduct of others in a wholly different jurisdiction.

Objective Higher education students express high levels of suicidal ideation. However, data on students’ knowledge of suicide and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help are lacking. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate students’ suicidal ideation, suicide literacy and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and to assess whether these variables were interrelated. Methods Higher education students completed an online survey that consisted of 12 questions on suicide literacy (based on the Literacy of Suicide Scale), the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale and the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale. Results A total of 2004 students completed the survey. Female students and biomedical students showed the highest suicide literacy and most positive help-seeking attitudes. Higher study year was associated with more positive help-seeking attitudes. Art students expressed the highest levels of suicidal ideation. Suicide literacy had a weak positive correlation with help-seeking attitudes (Spearman’s rho = 0.186). Conclusions Suicidal ideation, suicide literacy and help-seeking attitudes may differ according to student’s gender, study year and study field. Better suicide literacy may promote psychological help-seeking behavior.

Introduction Suicide can be defined as a deliberate act performed by the individual, whose intention is the death, in a conscious, intentional, even if ambivalent way, using a means that he believes to be lethal. They are also part of what we usually call suicidal behavior: thoughts, plans and attempted suicide. Objectives Prevention is a critical step in treating suicidal behavior. Create strategies to reduce and treat the ideation, planning and suicide attempt. Methods Based on a large increase in the number of people who present ideas, plan and attempt suicide, the Clinic created techniques for the treatment of inpatients: Life Appreciation Group, Groups applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Dynamics, Lectures, Art Therapy and Physical activities . Results The actions are developed by a multidisciplinary team that is divided by applying the various techniques and participating in all the proposed activities. Conclusions Patients who remained hospitalized fully complying with the suggested treatment and left with medical discharge had full benefit, unlike some cases of patients removed by the family against our indication. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Full textAbstract:
This presentation aims to shed light on effective suicide prevention activities that often are missing in the everyday clinical practice. Too often in fact suicidal individuals seek help from mental health professionals that nevertheless fail to recognize suicide risk. For instance, on average, 45% of suicide victims had contact with primary care providers within 1 month of suicide. Likewise, the real world often presents challenges that impair proper utilization of the evidence-based practice. Also, the alarming suicide rates around the world points to lack of effective preventive understanding of suicide. This presentation will present key point of the evidence-based practice, how to implement such approach and how to overcome difficulties in the real world. It will deal with the state of the art of preventive measures of suicide, what the missing elements are and how to make the most from personal experience without risking relying on clinician's intuition in management of suicidal individuals.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyzes the criminal policy and legal evaluation of inducement to suicide and other life-threatening behavior in view of the changes in criminal legislation in June 2017. The authors show that the key social condition for introducing new grounds for criminal liability for inducement to suicide and other life-threatening behavior is the wide-spread cases of inducement of children and teenagers to suicidal and other life-threatening behavior via the Internet. The authors also present criminal legal characteristics of the differentiation between homicide by taking your own life and inducement to (counseling, aiding) suicide, and the definition of crimes in cases of factual error. They recommend classifying the actions under Art. 110-110.2 of the Criminal Code if the intent of the offender includes the fact that a person will deliberately and understandingly take his/her life. In contrast, the involvement of a person into auto-aggressive behavior connected with causing their own death by counseling such an act or any other inducement to it when the offender is aware that, due to age or psychological disorder, the victims do not understand the character and meaning of the actions carried out with them should be classified as a murder. The concept of the victims helplessness in the crimes of inducement to suicide should be interpreted in a restrictive way; such victims should be understood as being physically but not psychologically helpless. Criminal liability for the propaganda of auto-aggressive behavior (excepting suicidal behavior), connected with self-harm should be regulated under Part 3, Art. 239 of the Criminal Code.

Full textAbstract:
Andy Warhol, the ultimate copycat, is famously remembered for claiming in 1963: “I want to be a machine.” What is often forgotten, however, is that Warhol adopted the techniques of photo-silkscreening days after Marilyn Monroe committed suicide in August 1962. I argue that by copying and multiplying a publicity photo of Monroe taken for her 1953 film Niagara, Warhol spaces-out the supposed “interiority” of suicide by linking it metonymically with Niagara Falls, a top suicide destination in America. Similarly, Michel Foucault, in the inaugural issue of Gai Pied, the first French magazine for homosexuals, publishes a justification of suicide as a kind of impersonal technique, entitled “The Simplest of Pleasures” (1979). In this paper, I investigate the relationship between these two techniques—or arts—of suicide, and the way both Warhol and Foucault attempt to (dis)place the author(ity) of “suicide” as a supposedly “personal,” “intentional” act.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionThe state-of-the-art 3-step Theory of Suicide (3ST) describes why people consider suicide and who will act on their suicidal thoughts and attempt suicide. The central concepts of 3ST—psychological pain, hopelessness, connectedness, and capacity for suicide—are among the most important drivers of suicidal behaviour but they are missing from clinical suicide risk prediction models in use at the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA). These four concepts are not systematically recorded in structured fields of VHA’s electronic healthcare records. Therefore, this study will develop a domain-specific ontology that will enable automated extraction of these concepts from clinical progress notes using natural language processing (NLP), and test whether NLP-based predictors for these concepts improve accuracy of existing VHA suicide risk prediction models.Methods and analysisOur mixed-method study has an exploratory sequential design where a qualitative component (aim 1) will inform quantitative analyses (aims 2 and 3). For aim 1, subject matter experts will manually annotate progress notes of clinical encounters with veterans who attempted or died by suicide to develop a domain-specific ontology for the 3ST concepts. During aim 2, we will use NLP to machine-annotate clinical progress notes and derive longitudinal representations for each patient with respect to the presence and intensity of hopelessness, psychological pain, connectedness and capacity for suicide in temporal proximity of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide. These longitudinal representations will be evaluated during aim 3 for their ability to improve existing VHA prediction models of suicide and suicide attempts, STORM (Stratification Tool for Opioid Risk Mitigation) and REACHVET (Recovery Engagement and Coordination for Health - Veterans Enhanced Treatment).Ethics and disseminationEthics approval for this study was granted by the Stanford University Institutional Review Board and the Research and Development Committee of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. Results of the study will be disseminated through several outlets, including peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national conferences.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the Golden Gate Bridge (GGB) as a work of art and the role of the bridge in shaping community identity and discourse. Particular attention is focussed on the discourse surrounding mental illness and suicide, which perpetuate the problem of suicides involving the bridge as a means and mechanism of death. An analysis of the person who attempts or completes suicide is also performed. Design/methodology/approach – Multiple research articles, writings, and a cinematic production are drawn on to frame the argument in terms of Michel Foucault's adaption of Pantopticism Theory and Jacques Lacan's Mirror Theory, which includes the concepts of the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic. Findings – The GGB is a major factor in shaping the discourse on mental illness and suicide in the San Francisco community. The influences the GGB exerts combines with and exacerbates a culture of stigma, which perpetuates negative discourse and increases the risk of suicides in those already vulnerable. Research limitations/implications – The research for this paper was performed at a distance and was conducted, with the exception of one personal communication, by literature search and application to theory. Ethnographic research would be a logical next step to study the phenomenon further. Practical implications – Theory developed from this paper could be used in determining a relevant course of action for adding to existing suicide prevention efforts in the San Francisco Area and any other community with a prominent icon, such as the GGB, that may be exerting a negative influence on the suicide rates of that area. Social implications – An awareness of how art, culture, and psychology interact would increase awareness of the creation of a stigmatized environment and perhaps precipitate a change in the underlying negative discourse. Originality/value – This paper takes a fresh look at the phenomenon of violent death by suicide where a physical object/icon (the GGB) is used as a means to die. The particular theories and approach used to explain the interactions that intensify the suicide death rate have never been combined and interwoven in such an interdisciplinary way to seek an explanation.

ObjectiveTo assess the magnitude of suicidal ideation, attempts and associated factors among adults living with HIV attending antiretroviral therapy follow-ups at Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital, Addis Ababa.DesignHospital-based observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted.SettingA study was conducted in Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital, Addis Ababa from 8 February 2022 to 10 July 2022.ParticipantsTwo hundred and thirty-seven HIV-positive youth were recruited for interviews, using the systematic random sampling technique. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to assess suicide. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Oslo social support and HIV perceived stigma scale instruments were used to assess the factors. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were computed to assess factors associated with suicidal ideation and attempt. Statistical significance was declared at p value <0.05.ResultsThe finding of the study revealed magnitude of suicide ideation and suicide attempt was 22.8% and 13.5%, respectively. Disclosure status (adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=3.60, 95% CI 1.44 to 9.01), history of using substances (AOR)=2.86, 95% CI 1.07 to 7.61), living alone (AOR=6.47, 95% CI 2.31 to 18.10) and having comorbidity or other opportunistic infection (AOR=3.74, 95% CI 1.32 to 10.52) are factors associated with suicide ideation while disclosure status (AOR=5.02, 95% CI 1.95 to 12.94), living arrangement (AOR=3.82, 95% CI 1.29 to 11.31) and depression history is a factor associated with suicide attempts (AOR=3.37, 95% CI 1.09 to 10.40).ConclusionThe finding of the study indicated the magnitude of suicide ideation and attempt is high among the subjects included in this study. Disclosure status, history of using substances, living alone and having comorbidity or other opportunistic infection are factors associated with suicide ideation while disclosure status, living arrangement and depression history are factors associated with a suicide attempt.

Full textAbstract:
From 13 to 15 January 2005, the SuicideGirls Live! burlesque show appeared as part of the High Performance Rodeo in Calgary, Alberta. Straddling the boundaries of feminism, popular culture and, indeed, definitions of performance art and theatre, the SuicideGirls performance highlights the diversity of the festival phenomenon in Canada. Performing any kind of work at a festival invites a contextual analysis. As Jill Dolan writes in Presence and Desire, in reference to heterosexual and lesbian spaces, “[C]ontexts make the terms of the performative exchange very different, even if the images used or roles played are the same” (127). In a Canadian context, festivals range from the populist Fringes to the high art Festival de Théâtre des Amériques to the venerable Stratford and Shaw to the brand new Magnetic North. Women’s work has a place at all of these to varying degrees, seldom in a major or central capacity. On the other hand, works by women in these contexts take on the attributes of the festival and are read as enacting the mandate of the curator, whoever she or he may be.

Full textAbstract:
Although black metal would reach international notoriety with the actions of Varg Vikernes, who murdered his friend and fellow musician Øystein ‘Euronymous’ Aarseth in 1993, the foundation of the genre’s violent, misanthropic image was set several years earlier by the Swedish vocalist of Mayhem, Per ‘Dead’ Ohlin, whose onstage penchant for self-harm and eventual gruesome suicide earned him almost mythical status within the realm of metal music. The fact that Dead’s influence on metal music has remained so strong in the 30 years following his suicide has significant artistic implications, especially considering that he never managed to record a studio album with his band. Although Dead’s suicide colours his self-harm with obvious elements of mental illness and trauma, his role as an artist warrants a deeper analysis of his onstage theatrics, viewing them from the perspective of intense devotion to his art. By reading Dead’s artistic endeavours within the context of performance art involving self-harm, his actions become an aesthetic expression of that pain, which, when combined with the atmosphere of the music and his lyrics, creates an intense portrait of Dead’s quest for an expressive outlet in his performance. Dead’s self-inflicted performative violence echoes the work of pioneering artists such as Chris Burden, Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovic, and although Dead undoubtedly suffered from serious mental illness, viewing his self-harm alongside other visceral artistic expressions of pain and trauma helps refigure his aesthetic contributions to black metal as a unique synthesis of destruction and creation.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Research is directed towards female suicides and the solution of the postvention problems in Lithuania. Suicidal behavior of women is conditioned by their psychological sensitivity to different psycho-social factors. The-psycho-emotional state of women who have attempted suicide is worsened, different negative emotions prevail, they lack self-esteem and are disappointed. The methods used in the research aim to answer the same question: does art therapy have an effect on the psycho-emotional state of women who have attempted suicide? It uses different methods of data analysis, i.e. quantitative and qualitative analysis of a small sample.
Research aim. The aim of the research is to present effects of art therapy on changes in the psycho-emotional state of women who have attempted suicide. The aim of the research is supported by the following tasks and questions. Tasks: 1) to determine changes of depression symptoms; 2) to determine change of anxiety symptoms. Questions: 1) how do visually dominant iconographic motifs in patients’ drawings change during art therapy? 2) how do visually dominant formal motifs in patients’ drawings change during art therapy? 3) does the change of iconographic and formal motifs relate to changes of the emotional state of a selected group of women? 4) how interrelated are results of quantitative and qualitative research methods?
Methods. Mixed research was conducted using the HADS scale, with analysis of visually dominant iconographic and formal elements.
Results. The art therapy intervention significantly reduced the level of depression in the subjects. Art therapy had no significant effect on subjects’ anxiety levels. Selected iconographic motifs in the subjectsʼ drawings during the process of art therapy changed: from visually unindentifiable to recognizable objects; from an abstract symbolic meaning to a more concrete and clearly defined meaning; from a smaller to a larger number of iconographic elements; from an iconographically blurred to a more explicit plot. Selected formal motifs in the patients’ drawings during the process of art therapy changed: from incomplete to more detailed depiction of the object; from closed to more open silhouette type; from an isolated object opposed to the surrounding space to an object increasingly infiltrating into that space; from a closed to a progressively more open composition; from linearity to pictoriality; from darker to lighter color scale; from poorer to richer color palettes. The change of iconographic and formal motifs is related to the change of the emotional state of the subjects: the reduced isolation of the depicted objects and the strict separation from the surrounding space show a reduced opposition of the subjects, and the beginning of the social and psychological connection with the surrounding world. The shift from an incomplete to a more detailed depiction of an object shows that the former uncontrollability of the subjects’ self, their feelings, and their connection with the environment turns into clear and rational controllability; more concrete and realistic drawings show the increased awareness of the subjects and better connection with the surrounding world.
Conclusions. The change in depression levels after art therapy intervention is statistically significant (p<0.05). The change in anxiety levels after art therapy intervention is not statistically significant (p>0.05). The shift of the drawings is from abstract to specific iconography. The formal motifs of the drawings become more detailed and their type of representation become more varied; the depiction of the objects have become more integrated in the composite space, and the composition become more open; the paintings became more artistic, and the color range became wider. The psycho-emotional state of the subjects in the sessions varied from detachment, withdrawal, hiding, fear of looking at oneself, to opening up, trying to notice and make sense of all one’s own negativity, to manage negative emotions and to project one’s future.

Full textAbstract:
Mental health crises and suicide continue to plague young men and women in South Africa, and not irrefutably secluding otherage groups. While scholarly and non-scholarly dialogues pivot to address this conundrum, isiXhosa short stories as a literary art are no exception. As a result, this article aims to conceptualise how mental health crises and suicide are mirrored in ‘UkuzibulalaAkusiso Isisombululo’ (Suicide Is Not the Solution). The objective was to unravel the interplaying meanings in respect of the phenomenon of interest. This particular short story was further appreciated as a source of data while structuralism as a theorywas elicited as an instrument to enact reasonable and empirical debates. Ultimately, it became evident that mental health and suicidal thoughts and behaviours are acutely entrenched in the South African milieu, and that necessitates an extensive scholarly discourse beyond the limitations of this particular article.

Full textAbstract:
Suicide is a leading cause of death and a global public health problem, representing more than one in every 100 deaths in 2019. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is widely used to address public health problems, and numerous simulation models have investigated the complex, dependent, and dynamic risk factors contributing to suicide. However, no review has been dedicated to these models, which prevents modelers from effectively learning from each other and raises the risk of redundant efforts. To guide the development of future models, in this paper we perform the first scoping review of simulation models for suicide prevention. Examining ten articles, we focus on three practical questions. First, which interventions are supported by previous models? We found that four groups of models collectively support 53 interventions. We examined these interventions through the lens of global recommendations for suicide prevention, highlighting future areas for model development. Second, what are the obstacles preventing model application? We noted the absence of cost effectiveness in all models reviewed, meaning that certain simulated interventions may be infeasible. Moreover, we found that most models do not account for different effects of suicide prevention interventions across demographic groups. Third, how much confidence can we place in the models? We evaluated models according to four best practices for simulation, leading to nuanced findings that, despite their current limitations, the current simulation models are powerful tools for understanding the complexity of suicide and evaluating suicide prevention interventions.

Evidence-based generalization of the data obtained shows that juveniles become victims of every fourth criminally conditioned suicide (26 .2 %) in the family environment and in 92 .6 % of cases of suicidal incidents related to criminal activities carried out through information and psychological impact on the network “Internet” and involvement in computer games that pose a danger to life . The socio-demographic, psychological, legal and victimological signs of the victim’s personality in this area are considered . A typology of juvenile victims of criminal suicide has been established: a) in the sphere of family and domestic relations; b) in the field of illegal activities of Internet communities that promote suicide, induce children and adolescents to commit suicide . The importance of preventive measures in the field of prevention of domestic (family) violence is updated; counteraction to illegal persecution and harassment of the victim, involvement in the activities of destructive network groups of suicidal orientation . Measures are proposed to improve the administrative and criminal law mechanisms to counter this social and legal phenomenon .

Introduction Description of a specialized treatment program for people attempting suicide in an academic health service focused on psychiatry and drug addiction in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Objectives Describe actions developed to treat suicidal behavior. Methods Based on a survey of the prevalence of suicidal behavior in the Brazilian population over a lifetime, reaching a total of 12,000 cases per year of the Brazilian population, this academic service of psychiatry and drug addiction established the following actions for hospitalized patients: 24-hour surveillance, reduced access to methods of committing suicide (forks and knives removal, shoelaces and ropes removal), strengthening the GVV (Life Valuation Group), strengthening the Cognitive Behavior Therapy application groups, conducting group dynamics, lectures, art therapy and physical activities. Results Of 370 patients admitted to this service from January 1st, 2019 to September 1st, 2019, 137 had suicidal behavior and only 2 died. Conclusions Of these two cases, one abandoned treatment and the other occurred during the treatment period. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Background. Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS) continues to be an underrecognized risk for suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, and completion of suicide. Suicidal ideation and attempt in HIV/AIDS is not only a predictor of future attempted suicide and completed suicide.Methods. An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV-positive patients attending HIV care at Zewditu Memorial Hospital. Systematic random sampling technique was used to recruit 423 participants from April to May 2014. Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to collect data. Multivariable logistic regression was computed to assess factors associated with suicidal ideation and attempt.Result. Suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt were found to be 22.5% and 13.9%, respectively. WHO clinical stage of HIV, not being on HAART, depression, family history of suicidal attempt, and perceived stigma were associated with suicidal ideation. WHO clinical stage, being female, not being on HAART, use of substance, and depression were associated with suicidal attempt.Conclusion. Early diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic infections, depression, and early initiation of ART need to be encouraged in HIV-positive adults. Furthermore, counseling on substance use and its consequences and early identification of HIV-positive people with family history of suicidal ideation have to be considered.

Abstract. Background: Suicide has been considered an important public health issue for years and is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Despite prevention strategies being applied, the rate of suicide has not changed substantially over the past decades. Suicide risk has proven extremely difficult to assess for medical specialists, and traditional methodologies deployed have been ineffective. Advances in machine learning make it possible to attempt to predict suicide with the analysis of relevant data aiming to inform clinical practice. Aims: We aimed to (a) test our artificial intelligence based, referral-centric methodology in the context of the National Health Service (NHS), (b) determine whether statistically relevant results can be derived from data related to previous suicides, and (c) develop ideas for various exploitation strategies. Method: The analysis used data of patients who died by suicide in the period 2013–2016 including both structured data and free-text medical notes, necessitating the deployment of state-of-the-art machine learning and text mining methods. Limitations: Sample size is a limiting factor for this study, along with the absence of non-suicide cases. Specific analytical solutions were adopted for addressing both issues. Results and Conclusion: The results of this pilot study indicate that machine learning shows promise for predicting within a specified period which people are most at risk of taking their own life at the time of referral to a mental health service.

Introduction The psychosocial impact of infertility has been well researched and documented. However very little research has been conducted to assess the causative relationship between infertility and serious psychiatric illness such as suicide. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate suicidal risk ( suicidal ideation/ suicide attempts) amongst 100 infertile women undergoing infertility treatment at an IVF Centre based in Kolkata, India. Allied parameters such as depression, anxiety, quality of life were also studied. Objectives The goal of the presence study was to assess the suicidal risk ( suicidal ideation / attempted suicide ) amongst infertile women undergoing infertility/ ART treatment. And to examine the possible etiological factors behind increased levels of suicidal risk amongst infertile women. Methods Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview was administered to 100 female patient’s undergoing IVF treatment and 100 control patient’s , visiting an IVF Centre based in Kolkata. Chi square test, independent t test and Z test used for statistical analysis. Results According to the results obtained by assessment of MINI scale , the prevalence of major depressive disorder (50 % ) followed by Dysthymia (25%) was documented among infertile group while suicidality at 15% were significantly higher than other disorder (Z = 3.80, p> .001). No such cases of suicidality or Dysthymia was found among patients of control group. (fertile group). Conclusions Routine screening of suicidal risk and depression should be conducted for all patients undergoing IVF treatment. Infertility specialists should recognize psychiatric morbidity amongst infertile patients for subsequent referral and treatment. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The convergence of smart technologies and predictive modelling in prisons presents an exciting opportunity to revolutionize the monitoring of inmate behaviour, allowing for the early detection of signs of distress and the effective mitigation of suicide risks. While machine learning algorithms have been extensively employed in predicting suicidal behaviour, a critical aspect that has often been overlooked is the interoperability of these models. Most of the work done on model interpretations for suicide predictions often limits itself to feature reduction and highlighting important contributing features only. To address this research gap, we used Anchor explanations for creating human-readable statements based on simple rules, which, to our knowledge, have never been used before for suicide prediction models. We also overcome the limitation of anchor explanations, which create weak rules on high-dimensionality datasets, by first reducing data features with the help of SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). We further reduce data features through anchor interpretations for the final ensemble model of XGBoost and random forest. Our results indicate significant improvement when compared with state-of-the-art models, having an accuracy and precision of 98.6% and 98.9%, respectively. The F1-score for the best suicide ideation model appeared to be 96.7%.

Abstract This article tracks the history of species suicide, a phrase that originally referred to a potential nuclear holocaust but is now increasingly cited in Anthropocene discourses to account for continued carbon emissions in the face of catastrophic climate change. With its Anglophone roots in the Cold War, species suicide discourse unites concerns about nuclear arsenals, so-called overpopulation, and environmental injustice across disciplines. Species suicide discourse is indebted to the US-based field of suicide prevention, which for more than half a century has analyzed suicide notes in search of effective prevention methods. Therefore, to theorize suicide prevention in relation to anthropogenic climate change, this article imagines a version of this genre that mediates between individual and collective subjects—called a species suicide note. As an example, the interdisciplinary and multimedia art project “Dear Climate” (2012–ongoing) by Una Chaudhuri, Oliver Kellhammer, and Marina Zurkow rewrites familiar narratives of crisis, shifting species suicide notes toward irony and unconventional techniques of hope. In analyzing these performative species suicide notes, the author complicates species suicide prevention by foregrounding narratives of irony. These notes accentuate a self-reflexive irony that works toward climate justice for vulnerable humans and more-than-human species.

The article analyzes the qualified elements of the crime provided for in paragraph “a” of Part 2 of Art. 110 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), and Part 2 of Art. 109 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan), which provides for criminal liability for incitement to suicide or attempted suicide, taking into account the qualifying feature: the presence of financial or other dependence of the victim on the perpetrator. Based on the results of revealing the peculiarities of the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, on whom the latter is dependent, an analysis of possible forms and methods of committing the crime under study was carried out. An attempt has been made to describe the concept of material and other types of dependence on the guilty party, in which a suicide may find themselves. The behavior of the victim and his possible role in the mechanism of committing the crime under analysis are characterized, which can be of high importance in the investigation of incitement to suicide in the presence of financial or other dependence on the perpetrator as a qualifying feature. Additional risk factors for driving to suicide or attempted suicide due to financial or other dependence on the perpetrator have been identified.

The article aims to describe potential indicators of pre-suicidal state of minors manifesting in online-behavior that were revealed in the empirical study which involved 43 respondents aged 13-15 (M=14.19). The subjects for the study were selected among the teenagers who had responded to our advertisement messages published in various groups on the VKontakte social network. The following methodologies were used: UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3) (D. Russell, L. A. Peplau, M. Ferguson); Beck Hopelessness Inventory; WHO-5 Well-being Index (1998); Cognitive Errors in Online Communication (I.S. Luchinkina); Sentence Completion for Events from the Past Test (SCEPT) (F.Raes et al.); Individual Typological Child Questionnaire (L.N. Sobchik). The data obtained lead to conclude about the characteristics of the profile related to presence of a distinct pre-suicidal condition: a tendency towards increase in the proportion between the number of subscriptions where suicide is mentioned (including those associated with corresponding emotions, as well communities collecting suicide-related art) and the total number of subscriptions. The number of comments on one's page is inversely proportional to the severity of one's pre-suicidal condition.

Suicide has emerged as a pressing global issue affecting both society and public health. In this context, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) could prove effective in its approach, supported by evidence of the relationship between certain components of ACT and suicidal behavior. Thus, the present study aims to conduct a systematic review on the efficacy of ACT in suicidal behavior. For this, the PRISMA protocol was followed, using the following databases: PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus and PsicoDoc. Initially, 108 potentially relevant publications were obtained, 13 of which were finally included in the review. We analyzed study quality using a risk of bias assessment instrument. As a result, statistically significant decreases in suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide risk factors were observed. In addition, some studies indicated statistically significant relationships between increased psychological flexibility and decreased SI. While the data suggested the potential effectiveness of ACT in reducing suicidal ideation (SI), more experimental studies are needed to consider the complexity of suicidal behavior and explore the processes of change involved. El suicidio se ha convertido en un problema social y de salud pública a nivel mundial. En este sentido, la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) podría ser eficaz en su abordaje, existiendo evidencia sobre la relación entre algunos de sus componentes y la conducta suicida. Así, el presente estudio tuvo por objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática sobre la eficacia de ACT en conducta suicida. Para ello se siguió el protocolo PRISMA, empleando las siguientes bases de datos: PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus y PsicoDoc. Inicialmente se obtuvieron 108 publicaciones potencialmente relevantes, de las cuales, finalmente, 13 fueron incluidas en la revisión. La calidad de los estudios se analizó a través de un instrumento de evaluación de riesgo de sesgos. Como resultados, a nivel general se observaron disminuciones estadísticamente significativas en ideación suicida (IS) y factores de riesgo de suicidio. Además, algunos estudios señalaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre un aumento de flexibilidad psicológica y la disminución de IS. Si bien los datos apuntaron a una posible eficacia de ACT en la reducción de IS, es necesario llevar a cabo mayor número de estudios experimentales que contemplen la complejidad de la conducta suicida y exploren los procesos de cambio implicados.

The subject of the research is the reasons for the commission of unlawful acts provided for by Art. 110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation committed on the Internet in relation to minors, as well as the existing system for the prevention of these illegal acts. The aim of the study is to develop proposals for improving the specified mechanism for preventing illegal acts. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the prevention of unlawful acts under Art. 110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation committed on the Internet in relation to minors, should include the following components: detection and suppression of suicidal content; identifying individuals who are members of social network groups and taking part in games, and carefully withdrawing them from such communities; prevention of suicidal behavior with individuals who have committed suicide attempts and with their immediate surroundings. In addition, early prevention of minors and their parents of dangerous behavior on the Internet is of great importance.

Full textAbstract:
Background Suicide has become the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. With development of the internet, social media has become an imperative source for studying psychological illnesses such as depression and suicide. Many methods have been proposed for suicide risk assessment. However, most of the existing methods cannot grasp the key information of the text. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient method to extract the core information from social media posts for suicide risk assessment. Objective We developed a multifeature fusion recurrent attention model for suicide risk assessment. Methods We used the bidirectional long short-term memory network to create the text representation with context information from social media posts. We further introduced a self-attention mechanism to extract the core information. We then fused linguistic features to improve our model. Results We evaluated our model on the dataset delivered by the Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology 2019 shared task. The experimental results showed that our model improves the risk-F1, urgent-F1, and existence-F1 by 3.3%, 0.9%, and 3.7%, respectively. Conclusions We found that bidirectional long short-term memory performs well for long text representation, and the attention mechanism can identify the key information in the text. The external features can complete the semantic information lost by the neural network during feature extraction and further improve the performance of the model. The experimental results showed that our model performs better than the state-of-the-art method. Our work has theoretical and practical value for suicidal risk assessment.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that Gabriele D’Annunzio’s protagonist in Trionfo della morte fails to become the superuomo because he pursues beauty in death rather than in life. While Giorgio Aurispa aspires to follow the teachings of Nietzsche and affirm life, his psychological weakness and sick will render him unable to do this. Any energy and willpower that Giorgio does possess is channelled into a morbid direction, alienating him from life and those around him. Giorgio becomes fixated on the ‘beautiful’ deaths of several figures (including Percy Bysshe Shelley and his uncle, who committed suicide) and, rather than imitating Zarathustra’s affirmative attitude towards life, aspires to create an end for himself that matches the beauty of the deaths of these macabre role models. It is Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde that provides the most beautiful – and fatal – model for death, however, and after hearing Wagner’s music D’Annunzio’s protagonist becomes obsessed with recreating a Liebestod. Instead of applying creativity to his life, Giorgio channels his (ebbing) energies into making a work of art of his death; but even here his creativity fails, and his intended Liebestod becomes a desperate suicide and brutal murder.

Social media platforms are increasingly being used for studying psycho-linguistic phenomenon to model expressions of suicidal intent in tweets. Most recent work in suicidal ideation detection doesn't leverage contextual psychological cues. In this work, we hypothesize that the contextual information embedded in the form of historical activities of users and homophily networks formed between like-minded individuals in Twitter can substantially improve existing techniques for automated identification of suicidal tweets. This premise is extensively tested to yield state of the art results as compared to linguistic only models, and the state-of-the-art model.

The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh and 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane are psychological plays that deal with the relationship between Art, Death and Morbidity. Death is an artistic solution to put an end to the morbidity of attitude caused by toxic relationships, social conventions, and totalitarian institutions. Death, may it take form of suicide or murder, is presented as a Saviour to escape the torture, suffering, depression and tyranny. Art is the creative realm of death, a defensive tool or a protective shield against the repressed uneasy traumatic memories that causes extreme unpleasure. The objective of the paper is to explore the artistic portrayal of death as a refuge from morbidity addressing the research questions 1) How do 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane and The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh suggest death as an escape from psychosis and life of suffering? 2) How does art become a source of realization of Death drive taking form of murder or suicide?
