The present study explored several correlates of death anxiety. Male and female students of Dutch Universities, ranging in age from 17 to 29, were given a questionnaire of which the purpose was to examine the relationship between loss experience, centrality of loss, attachment style, purpose in life, gender and death anxiety. Based on previous research, significant associations between these variables were hypothesized. Findings showed a correlation between CES and death anxiety for respondents with a loss-experience less than 14 months ago. An interaction effect of gender and loss experience was found with regard to the subscale Fear for significant others of the MFODS. Analyses failed to support the hypotheses concerning the variables loss experience, attachment style and purpose in life. The discussion related the pattern of finding...
This document details the countries and territories that carried out executions, and the countries and territories that imposed death sentences, in 2005. During 2005, at least 2,148 people were executed in 20 countries. At least 5,186 people were sentenced to death in 54 countries. These were only minimum figures; the true figures were certainly higher.
This document details the countries and territories that carried out executions, and the countries and territories that imposed death sentences, in 2006. During 2006, at least 1,591 people were executed in 25 countries. At least 3,861 people were sentenced to death in 55 countries. These were only minimum figures; the true figures were certainly higher. 91% of all known executions took place in six countries: China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan and the USA. Kuwait had the highest numer of executions per capita of population followed by Iran.
This document summarises Amnesty International's global research on the death penalty. Information was gathered from various sources including official statistics (where available), non-governmental and inter-governmental organizations, human rights defenders, the media and interviews with survivors of human rights violations.

The term sudden cardiac death pertains to an unexpected death from cardiac causes within
a short time period and has been described throughout history.
The ancient Egyptians inscribed on the tomb of a nobleman some 4500 years ago that he
had died suddenly and without apparent cause.
Another early case of sudden death was Phidippides, the young Greek messenger, who
collapsed and died after he ran 26.2 miles from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of
the Greek victory over the Persians in 460 BC.
It has been hypothesised that Hippocrates in his writings provided the first medical
description (approximately 400 BC) of sudden cardiac death: "Those who are subject to
frequent and severe fainting attacks without obvious cause die suddenly".
Sudden (cardiac) death was originally ascribed to supernatural c...

This study had three primary objectives: 1) to determine if there is an annual and/or
seasonal trend in percentage of death loss in
Kansas feedlots; 2) to examine the difference
in death loss between steers and heifers; and
3) to evaluate if “in” weight has had an effect on percentage of death loss in Kansas feedlots. The annual trend in death loss for both steers and heifers was found to be significant and positive, indicating that death loss has been increasing over the sample period. Seasonal increases in death loss were significant for early-spring closeouts for both steers and heifers. The annual trend in the difference between the death loss for steers and heifers, though not significant, was negative. There were, however, certain closeout months in which there were significant differences in the
death loss of steers relative to ...
Research pertaining to Maori children‟s experiences and perceptions of death and tangihanga is sparse. Much of what is available, relating to children and their experiences with death, particularly death of a loved one, is generalised and stems from Western paradigms of knowledge. In contrast, this study aimed to investigate Maori children‟s experience relating to death and tangi through the eyes of Maori parents. Five areas were explored with Maori parents: (1) childhood experiences of Maori parents relating to death and tangi, (2) parental conceptualisation pertaining to ideas of an afterlife (3) how and when Maori parents talk with children about topics relating to death, tangi and an afterlife (4) how Maori children understand and conceptualise these events, and (5) how these practices will continue on in the future. Findings of th...
The purpose of this quantitative study was first to investigate the comparative incidence of electromagnetic aftereffects (EMEs) during the past year among near-death experiencers (NDErs), people who experienced a close brush with death without an NDE (CBrs), and people who reported never having experienced a close brush with death (LCErs). The second purpose was to investigate a possible change in EME incidence among the three groups before and after a critical life event. The third purpose was to investigate the relationship between the reported overall depth and specific components of the subjective experiences of people who have had a close brush with death -- NDErs and CBrs -- and their reported incidence of EMEs. I used the Near-Death Experience Scale (Greyson, 1983), and developed the Close Brush with Death Question form, Life ...
