Summer light trigger suicide in Greenland

Connectors from the usual to say about the winter darkness and depression, it's summer light, which drives people to suicide. It shows a Swedish study of suicide in Greenland. It is a research team at Karolinska Institute, which concludes that sommerlys given the number of suicides to rise dramatically.

Karin Sparring Björk Stone who led the investigation, has examined all suicides in Greenland from 1968 to 2002. Here she found a marked trend in the summer months and with the most suicides in June, where the sun burns the longest.

The trend is most pronounced in the northern part of Greenland. Here 82 percent of suicides committed in the bright months.

Sol declare alcohol as a cause Similarly, studies from Norway and Finland supports the Swedish study assumption that there is sunlight, which increases the number of suicides. The study excludes that alcohol is the cause. This breaks the Greenland consumption itself evenly over the years. However, too little sleep during the bright months as a triggering factor.

Malene Simon's research shows that although people are attracted by the idea of a wild animal liberation from years of captivity, it is not necessarily happiness of the animal.

- We believe that the best for Keiko, the open fences in Norway, where he had plenty of room and were fed and trained by the people he was linked to, says Malene Simon. The report contradicts statements by the organization Free Willy-Keiko Foundation joined in 2003 and described Keikos frisættelse a success. The project to put free Keiko went into operation after a great popular pressure in the wake of the "Free Willy" films in the 1990s.
