That skill came about through his work as a journalist, and his many first-hand experiences of events. He continued throughout his life to report on major incidents and newsworthy items, and was able to use those reports as the factual basis of his novels. His experiences of the railways were especially important, and he made great use of them in his novels such as Dombey and Son. Later expereiences included his own involvement in a railway disaster, at Staplehurst in 1865, a major trauma which led him to include the accident at the end of Our Mutual Friend, and led him to write a timely ghost story, The Signalman. No doubt he would have used more such reports had he lived to fulfill his ambitions.展开更多

Drawing upon her experience as a multifarious Arab-American writer whose father was a Palestinian immigrant and whose mother was an American, Nye tries to build bridges across political, national, cultural, and ethnic boundaries. Through a love story between the two protagonists （Liyana, whose father is a Palestinian-American and whose mother is American and Omer, whose parents are Jewish Israelis）, Nye endeavors to bring about a sense of harmony and understanding between the politically, ethnically, culturally, and racially separated J home whether in reality ews and Palestinians. At the end, Liyana＇s family realizes they can have more than one or in imagination.展开更多

Fortunately, MICS4mthe Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey conducted by UNICEF during 2012-2013 has introduced a module on accidents among children less than 15 years. In Algeria, the MICS4 survey targeted a sample of 28,000 households distributed over the national territory. These are the main results of polynomial logistic regression： Children in the richest quintile （B = .562, p 〈 .05）, are much less exposed than children in the poorest quintile. The odd ratio is 1.75. Compared to children aged 12 to 14, the younger children of 0-2 years （B = -1.059, p 〈 .05）, are three times less exposed （odd ratio = .347） to road traffic accidents; and children of 9-11 years （B = .520, p 〈 .05）, are most exposed with an odd ratio of 1.68. For territorial planning areas, with the South being taken as a reference category, the risk of traffic accidents for a child is the lowest in the West Highlanders （B = -1.257, p 〈 .05）, followed by the North Center （B = -1.163, p 〈 .05）, the East Highlands （B = -1.053, p 〈 .05）, the Northwest （B = -1.034, p 〈 .05）, and the Northeast （B = -.805, p 〈 .05）. Odd ratio values are respectively .29, .313, .349, .356, and .447.展开更多

The SOCSO （Social Security Organization） reported that the number of deaths due to commuting accidents was 760, nearly two times more than deaths caused by accidents that happened at the workplace （471 deaths）. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of socio-demographic background and the risk exposure of the drivers during their work commuting trips. The study was based on compensation claims to SOCSO where data were extracted from ＂Form 21＂ provided by SOCSO. A total of 377 respondents were selected through systematic random sampling method from a list of SOCSO claimants. It was found that majority of the traffic accidents （83%） involved males and most of them （92.2%） were on motorcycles. Male drivers have an average driving experience of 10.7 years and 8.6 years for females. The estimation of the travelled distance for the sample from home to the workplace is 0.65-131 km. Mean accident occurrence time was 23 rain whilst mean distance was 11.6 km. The multiple regression analysis showed that the accident distance was affected by the age of driver, actual travel distance, travel objective and speed.展开更多

Methods: Twenty-eight patients, aged from 1 to 14 years, receiving craniotomy and other surgical treatments were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Among the 28 cases, 23 cured with the recovery rate of (82.3)%, 2 had a sequel of moderate disability, and 3 died from severe brain injury, hemorrhagic shock, and other visceral complications. The clinical sympotoms and signs were severe and perplexing. The major characters included: severe head injury, usually combined by multiple injuries, and easy of access to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Conclusions: The occurrence of infection is high after traffic accidents as a result of depression of humoral and cellular immunity, long-term bed rest, and fractures of limbs. Hence, on the basis of maintaining vital signs, the management of primary wound is essential to reduce infection and underlying death. In addition to the management of brain injury, concurrent injuries should also be highlighted so as to reach a good result for their patients.展开更多
