#Suicide and gender roles: Reporting distorts reality Men angry and rejected women sociable and mentally ill--a current study by the Meduni Vienna demonstrates that these gender stereotypes prevail when Austrian daily newspapers report on suicide.
This has far-reaching consequences. When it comes to suicidal behaviour there is a clear gender paradox:
the ratio of men to women who actually commit suicide is three to one but with attempted suicides it is exactly the opposite--three women for every one man.
A study by the Meduni Vienna which has recently been published in the highly journal Sex Roles demonstrates that the cultural script that bears partial responsibility for this is also found in the reports by Austrian daily newspapers.
These gender-specific differences are made visible by the formulation the nature and frequency of reported suicide motives.
Articles about suicide in women focus more on sociability relationships with other people and motives that are anchored in the family environment.
More complex language and cautious expressions are also the hallmarks of articles about female suicide.
In contrast the articles about male suicide use more words that relate to anger and rejection.
Suicide risk could be reduced by changing the style of reportingbut that's not all. A very specific problem arises from this
The suicide risk can be reduced as a result. Journalists should therefore take care to present as correct a view as possible of suicidal tendencies
Spotlight on eleven Austrian daily newspapers507 articles containing the word'suicide'from eleven Austrian daily newspapers from between 1997 and 2005 were investigated.
The study is one of the first investigations to look comprehensively at the subject of gender-specific patterns in the reporting of suicide.

There are as many as three million cases of severe sepsis and 750000 resulting deaths in the United states annually.
The study also highlighted the role of smoking in the development of lung cancer. Many of the early genetic faults are caused by smoking.
"Conventional techniques, like genome-wide association studies, must test all possible genetic mutations and variants in a disease cell, compared with a normal cell,
"It's important to stress that this constitutes an important improvement over traditional gene-association studies.
The latter can identify statistical associations between mutations and disease, but cannot explain how the mutation drives that effect,

#Community justice court associated with lower rearrest rates The opening of a community court in a high-crime area of San francisco was associated with a lower chance that offenders would be arrested for another crime within a year, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) shows that women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
However, there are few prospective epidemiological studies examining the association of fried food consumption with other health outcomes,
Thus in this new study, the authors examined the association between prepregnancy fried food consumption, both at home and away from home
The association persisted after further adjustments were made for varying body-mass index (BMI. After this, the risk ratios of GDM among women who consumed total fried foods 1-3, 4-6,
"When analysed separately, the authors found that there was a statistically significant association of GDM with fried food consumption away from home,
This may partly explain why we observed a stronger association of GDM risk with fried foods consumed away from home than fried foods consumed at home."

#Small molecule jams the switch to prevent inflammatory cell death Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have discovered a small molecule that blocks a form of cell death that triggers inflammation opening the door for potential new treatments for inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis Crohn's disease
and psoriasis. The researchers made the discovery while investigating how a protein called MLKL kills cells in a process known as necroptosis.
Necroptosis is discovered a recently cell death pathway linked to immune disorders. It is a vital process in
which cells undergo programmed death while warning the immune system that something has gone wrong such as during viral infection.
Dr Joanne Hildebrand Ms Maria Tanzer Dr James Murphy Associate professor John Silke and colleagues studied how MLKL changes shape to trigger cell death.
MLKL is the final protein in the cell death pathway but it needs to be activated before it can kill the cell Dr Hildebrand said.

#A day without serious crime? Cities reap real benefits from predictive policing Can you imagine a day without serious crime?

officers are increasingly able to stop them before they commit crimes. How it works Microsoft Domain Awareness System gets most of the attention for its work in preventing crimes.
Police departments can use it to analyze trends and other data so that they know where crimes are most likely to occur
and assign officers accordingly. But it also goes beyond that. It impossible to prevent every crime

#Mathematicians Explain Why Social Epidemics Spread Faster in Some Countries Than Others Psychologists have puzzled always over why people in Sweden were slower to start smoking and slower to stop.
In January 1964, the U s. Surgeon general Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health published a landmark report warning of the serious health effects of tobacco.
because it kick-started a global campaign to reduce the levels of smoking and the deaths it causes.
the patterns of smoking all over the world have changed dramatically. In the U s.,the numbers of smokers peaked in 1965
While the general pattern of smoking has been similarn increase in numbers followed by a decreasehe rate of change has been dramatically different from one country to another.
In other words, some countries adopted smoking more quickly and stopped smoking more quickly than others. That raises an important question.
These guys have gathered the largest historical data set on smoking ever compiled and study how its prevalence is correlated with the types of societies involved.
Treating smoking like an epidemic in this way finally reveals what going on. They say their results can explain the rate of change of smoking in various industrialized countries.
And they say the crucial difference is the level of individualism in each society. Perhaps the most extreme difference in smoking patterns come from the U s
So the Swedes adopted smoking more slowly, peaked later, and then stopped smoking at a slower rate than people in America.
And yet the Swedes had access to the same data about the dangers of smoking at more or less the same time.
Sweden was much slower to adopt smoking and much slower to stop. Now Lang and co think they know why.
The model reveals why Sweden stopped smoking more slowly. ur model suggests that social inertia will inhibit decisions to stop smoking more strongly in collectivistic societies than in individualistic societies,
the social freedoms in individualistic societies allow anybody to make a decision to stop smoking more easily.
That will be crucial for the way that governments design strategies to help people stop smoking. nterventions designed to discourage smoking should be tailored diferently in societies or social groups
