Une modélisation à l'aide du modèle hydrologique distribué J2000 est mise en oeuvre sur le bassin versant de l'Yzeron, en périphérie de Lyon, représentatif des bassins périurbains français. Nous montrons en particulier que l'urbanisation modifie les composantes des écoulements en accroissant le ruissellement de surface au détriment des écoulements de base ou de sub-surface (comparaison de simulations s'appuyant sur des cartes d'occupation du sol de 1990, 1999, 2008). La prise en compte des réseaux d'assainissement et des déversoirs d'orage dans la modélisation permettra d'améliorer la simulation des bilans hydrologiqu...

It should start with the recognition of an emotional crisis or depressive symptoms. Such patients have to be asked about suicidal thoughts or plans. Depressive states have to be assessed very carefully and treated adequately. The Gotland study has clearly shown that competence in the recognition and treatment of depression can significantly reduce the frequency of suicide.

Results indicated a significant interaction between independent life events, repetition status, and gender in the prediction of suicide intent, the association between life events and intent being moderated by repetition status in women only. The results provide preliminary evidence to suggest the presence of a sui-

Multinational data on non-fatal suicidal behaviour is derived from 1518 subjects in 16 European centres. Local district data on suicide were available from 10 of the collaborating centres. Stockholm (Sweden), Pontoise (France) and Oxford (UK) had the highest suicide attempts rates. In most centres, the majority of elderly who attempted suicide were widow(er)s, often living alone, who used predominantly voluntary drug ingestion. Non-fatal suicidal behaviour decreased with increasing age, whereas suicide rates rose. The ratio between fatal and non-fatal behaviours was 1:2, that for males/females almost 1:1. In the years considered, substantial stability in suicide and attempted suicide rates was observed. As their age increased, suicidal subjects displayed only a limited tendency to repeat self-destructive acts. Moreover, there was little correlation between attempted suicide and suicide rates, which carries different clinical implications for non-fatal suicidal behaviour in the elderly compared with younger subjects in the same WHO/EURO study.
