Suicidal ideations: The role of emotional intelligence and hopelessness among police in Malaysia

Suicide has become an alarming phenomenon among the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) with reported cases showing an increase each year. This cross-sectional study examines the association between depression, emotional intelligence (EI), hopelessness, and the prediction of suicidal ideation among police officers in Malaysia. A total of 2,508 police officers in 15 police contingents and the Royal Malaysia Police Head Quarters completed the questionnaires. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to measure depression, and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) was employed to calculate overall emotional intelligence. The hopelessness variable was measured via the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). The Revised Suicide Ideation Scale (R-SIS) was used to measure the tendency and severity of suicidal intention. The data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29.0. The study found that emotional intelligence showed a significant negative correlation with suicidal ideation. Depression and hopelessness were significantly positively correlated with suicidal ideation. Further analysis using the logistic regression approach (stepwise) revealed that both depression, and hopelessness, were risk factors that influenced suicidal ideation among the police. Mediation analyses show that emotional intelligence and hopelessness act as mediators in the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation. Therefore, mental health professionals can design appropriate prevention and intervention programmes for those with suicidal ideation.

Апробация семантического дифференциала «Оценка собственной жизненной энергии» для руководителей органов внутренних дел

The features of the professional activity of the heads of the internal affairs agencies of the Russian Federation (hereinafter – heads of police) impose an increased burden on the processes of the functioning of the individuals, their productivity and efficiency as performers of labor. When a leader does not cope with the current professional situation, this leads to a certain imbalance in life, to the unreasonable and inadequate behavior, actions and deeds, to a negative neuropsychic and somatic state. Consequently, the head of police needs a high level of subjective vitality as an internal resource for personal and professional well-being. This study has been carried out in order to test the developed semantic differential for the heads of police, that evaluates a person’s subjective idea of their vital energy. 385 respondents took part in the development of the semantic differential, among them 41 were psychologists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, 5 linguists, 339 heads of police. After the calculations of the psychometric reliability and factor structure, the proposed semantic differential has undergone changes. The proposed eight scales have been reduced to five: Effectiveness, Potential, Balance, Vt-s, Vt-d. With the help of descriptive statistics, the author has developed normalization of indicators.

Penerapan Metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dalam Perekrutan Petugas Keamanan

The security category does not escape a strict security system. The Security Task Force (SATGASKAM) is a unit that guards every agency and company in order to avoid crime. There were several problems in the security unit recruitment process. This applies a conventional assessment. It is said to be conventional because the assessment system in the recruitment only involves human reasoning abilities from a number of predetermined criteria. In this study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied for the security guard recruitment system. The selection process uses criteria which are the requirements for being accepted as security officers. The criteria used are the level of education, the equality value, the psychological score, and the results of the interviews. These criteria include the requirements contained in the regulation of the Head of Police of the Republic of Indonesia. The research method is carried out in several stages by comparing the AHP calculation process and the process of the result value of the system. The AHP process begins by determining the criteria, the eigenvalues. The results of the AHP method show transparency in recruitment with respective values and have a certain weight according to the priority of the agency.

The article discusses the vague normative regulation of the concept of the head of the body of inquiry. This vagueness results in difficulties in classifying deputy heads of police that exercise the powers of the head of the inquiry body as subjects of departmental control over the procedural activities of the inquiry body of the internal affairs agencies. The authors focus on a number of issues that require attention from the legislator: the need to make a specific list of officials who are heads of inquiry bodies in the internal affairs agencies; the need to take into account the scope of activities of deputies when giving them the powers of the head of the inquiry body. The deputy head of police exercising the powers of the head of the body of inquiry is subject to departmental control only if they are acting as the head of police or the head of an internal affairs agency due to the head’s temporary absence.

Crimes are the major criterion of determining development in each country. This study seeks to identify the reasons and the remedies for the murders in Sri Lanka. Rathnapura police division was selected for the study because of several reasons. It is one of the districts, which recorded the highest number of crimes, and it mainly represents the crimes in rural sector. Non-probability purposive sampling used for the study because the area is much specified and is not very common scenario for each household. 20 cases of murders were included in the sample.

The Death of a Poet: The Last Days of Marina Tsvetaeva by Irma Kudrova, Mary Ann Szporluk

MLR, I01.3, 2oo6 9I7 rewriting such stock types as 'the fallen woman' and 'oldmaids'. More significantly, Khvoshchinskaia argued for a reconceptualization of period boundaries in literary histories, specifically in the case of the decade of the I850s, which was obscured and reduced by the political radicalism of the decades both preceding and following it. Gheith's conclusion recasts Khvoshchinskaia's prescient call for attention to the I85os as awider call for attention today to the limitations of received periodizing frameworks, and inmany respects this excellent monograph exemplifies the benefits of such an approach. Finding theMiddle Ground is notable not just for 'recovering' the writings of two important writers and critics of nineteenth-century Russia; its other, substantial achievement lies in its cogently argued challenge to received under standings of the nature and composition of 'canonical' nineteenth-century Russian literature. UNIVERSITYOF EXETER CAROLADLAM The Death of a Poet: The Last Days ofMarina Tsvetaeva. By IRMAKUDROVA. Trans. by MARY ANN SZPORLUK;intro. by ELLENDEAPROFFER.Woodstock, New York, and London: Overlook Duckworth. 2004. 232 pp. ?20. ISBN I-58567-522-9. In The Death of a Poet, a translation of Gibel' Mariny Tsvetaevoi, published by Nezavisimaia Gazeta inMoscow in I999, Irma Kudrova undertakes an exploration of Marina Tsvetaeva's last years, from her return to the Soviet Union in July I939 to her suicide in Elabuga on 3 IAugust 194I. Kudrova had access not only to private memoirs, but also to reports of the interrogations of Sergei Efron, of Tsvetaeva's daughter, Ariadna Efron, and of various of Sergei Efron's fellow secret agents that are held in the KGB archive. Kudrova's chronological account is divided into four parts. The first recounts Ma rina Tsvetaeva's reunion with her family and the time spent in the NKVD dacha that Tsvetaeva's family shared with the Klepinins, also NKVD agents, in Bolshevo. Kudrova carefully traces an atmosphere of fear and terror, owing to the arrest not only of family members such as Tsvetaeva's sister, nephew, and brother-in-law, but also that of other emigres who had worked for the Parisian Union of Repatriation. The second part, 'Liubianka', focuses on the arrests of Ariadna Efron, on 27August I939, and of Sergei Efron, on io October 1939. It contains extracts from their interrogation protocols, showing how Ariadna was brought to testify against her father and how Efron's friends and acquaintances, Nikolai Klepinin, Emiliia Litauer, and Pavel Tol stoi, equally accused him of anti-Soviet activity. In the third part, 'In the Bedlam of Nonhumans', Kudrova continues her investigation into Efron's arrest by examining his potential involvement in the Reiss affair, the murder of the former secret agent Ignats Reiss-Poretskii in Switzerland in I937, that had led toEfron's hasty departure from France. Kudrova also briefly traces the time Tsvetaeva and her son Georgii spent at the house of the Union ofWriters inGolytsino and inMoscow, documenting Tsvetaeva's desperate interventions on behalf of her family. The last part, 'Elabuga', begins with Tsvetaeva's evacuation from Moscow on 8August I94I. Here, Kudrova compares and contrasts the three existing explanations for Tsvetaeva's suicide: her sister Anastasiia Tsvetaeva's insistence that she kill herself to save her son, Belkina's hypothesis that she suffered from mental illness, and Khenkin's suggestion that she feared recruitment by the local NKVD. Even though Kudrova is not able to exclude Khenkin's version with certainty, she nevertheless argues that the NKVD played little or no part in the decision to commit suicide, invoking instead the utter despair that Tsvetaeva must have experienced in her final days. The book concludes with an appendix, containing Tsvetaeva's interrogation protocols at the French police head 9I8 Reviews quarters in Paris in I937, a diary entry of I940, and the letter that she is thought to have addressed to Stalin. The Death of a Poet is interesting, particularly because of Kudrova's-at least partial-rehabilitation of Sergei Efron, who is usually regarded as aweak, spineless individual. Unable to find proof that he took part directly or indirectly in the Reiss affair, she argues that his enforced departure from France was convenient, both for the Soviet Union, which thus...

Thyroid carcinoma incidence and mortality analysis during 1981–2001 in Tianjin, China

To describe the long-term incidence and mortality trends of thyroid carcinoma and relate them to potential risk factors. All of the cases were from The Tianjin Cancer Registry. Numbers in each age-sex specific population for the six urban districts were obtained from the Tianjin Police Head Office. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to study the incidence rates of thyroid cancer. Age-sex specific incidence rates were calculated and plotted. The incidence and mortality rate was compared from 1981 to 2001 using the χ 2 trend test. The average incidence rate and mortality was compared using the χ 2 test. Age at diagnosis was compared with t-test. All statistical analyses were carried out using SAS 8.1 for windows. A total of 1,318 cases from thyroid cancer were identified in Tianjin between 1981 and 2001, 352 males and 966 females respectively. The incidence rates have increased from 0.87/100,000 in 1981 to 2.54/100,000 in 2001, up 193%. Females had consistently higher incidence rates than males across all age groups during this period ( χ 2 = 294.429, p < 0.001). While the observed incidence increases were significant in both males and females, the magnitude of incidence increase was greater in females with the incidence ratios between males and females changing from 1:2.7 in 1981 to 1:4.6 in 2001. The results also suggest age-gender interactions. Male incidence rates increased gradually with increasing age and peeked around 60 years of age. However, the incidence rates in females climbed steeply after age 25 and reached its highest in the 35∼50 ages. The average mortality rate was 0.37/100,000. The mortality rates were also found to be higher in older age groups in both females and males. Although the incidence trend increased with time, the mortality trend changed a little. The significant increase in thyroid carcinoma incidence during the last 21 years reported in this study suggests that changes in environmental factors may have played an important role. Further epidemiological investigations are warranted.
