BACKGROUND The study investigated the relationship between the type of employment (permanent/temporary) contract and mortality. Factors through which temporary employment was expected to be associated with increased mortality were the degree of satisfaction with the uncertainty related to temporary work situation (Study 1) and the voluntary/involuntary basis for temporary work (Study 2). METH...

Background: Psychotic disorder due to industrial drug, such as methamphetamine addiction, is one of the important causes for referral to psychiatric hospital. Psychotic symptoms in these patients are varied. A group of researchers believe that methamphetamine-induced psychosis is completely similar to schizophrenia. Others believe that at least some cases of permanent psychotic clinical manifes...

Temporary-pond species can be expected to use environmental cues to predict the onset of adverse conditions, while permanent-pond species may be insensitive to such cues. Temperature is such a potential cue in temporary waterbodies, as it fluctuates more widely with decreasing pond size than in deeper permanent ponds. We compared the temperatureinduced response of a permanent-pond and a tempora...

Mental health status has an association with labour market outcomes. If people in temporary employment have poorer mental health than those in permanent employment then it is consistent with two mutually inclusive possibilities: temporary employment generates adverse mental health effects and/or individuals with poorer mental health select into temporary from permanent employment. We apply regr...

In this paper I study temporary migration and its consequences for immigrant behaviour. A distinction is made between temporary migration where the return time is exogenous and where the migrant chooses when to return. The consequences of both types of temporary migration for migrant behaviour (as opposed to a permanent migration) are illustrated. The specification of the empirical models will ...

This study evaluates the results of endorectal Ileal J Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IJPAA) in 13 patients with Ulcerative colitis and 7 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis in 6 years in Emam Hosein Hospital. In the last, for this patients permanent Ileostomy was performed, but with (IJPAA) operation permanent Ileostomy is abandoned. Two patients, total colectomy rectal mocosectomy and ilea...
