ABSTRACT
Suicides by pilots are one of the most fatal incidents that affect the aviation industry, there can be many underlying causes for such occurrences. This paper will explore eight infamous pilot suicide cases. Suicide by pilots is suspected as being a possible cause of the crashes of several commercial flights throughout aviation history. Generally, it is difficult for air crash investigators to determine what the motives of the pilots are, since they sometimes act deliberately to turn off recording devices or try to hinder future investigations. Therefore, suicides caused by pilots are quite difficult to prove. This paper analyses eight infamous pilot suicide cases, brings about various causes that can be reasons for pilot suicides and also gives suggestions and recommendations for preventing such tragedies. Keywords: Pilots, suicides, air crash, cases, investigators, aviation industry.

ABSTRACT
Fire is an oxidation reaction from the meeting of fuel, oxygen and heat that causes losses, damage to equipment, death and disruption to business. The wood processing industry has a high fire risk due to the use of various kinds of machinery and raw materials. One effort to prevent and overcome fires is to conduct fire management training for all employees. This study aims to determine the differences in knowledge, attitudes and preparedness for fire prevention and control of workers before and after intervention is given. This research was conducted at PT. Maruki International Indonesia. The method of this research is quasi experiment with sampling using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The research sample of 43 workers. Data were analyzed by paired sample T-Test with a significance level of 0.05 and the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) Repeated Measures. The results of the statistical analysis of the T-test from the measurement of workers' attitudes at the pre-test up to the 4th post-test showed no significant difference (p> 0.05). The results of the GLM Repeated measures statistical analysis indicate an increase in the attitude scores of workers (pretest-posttest) with the Greenhouse-geiser score F = 2.975, p <0.05. There is a significant influence of fire safety training on attitudes towards the workers of the production department of PT. Maruki International Indonesia. It is expected that the company will complete the fire protection system, conduct safety patrol and carry out regular fire safety training for workers.

Life satisfaction as cognitive process by which an individual assesses his/her progress towards desired goals. Various researches on the phenomenon have been carried out in relation to different psycho – social aspects but researchers have not paid attention on Muslim aged men and women with particular reference to New Delhi. Thus, the present study was planned to study on such problem. For the present study, on one hundred eighty (N=180) aged comprising men (n=90) and women (n=90) were randomly selected. All subjects included in the sample were contacted personally from different area of locality of New Delhi. Major areas of New Delhi were given priority for the present piece of research work namely, Okhla, Zakir Nagar, Batla house, Shaheen Bagh, Ghafoor Nagar, Abul Fazal Enclave, and Malviya Nagar. All subjects’ age were recorded near about 60 and above 60 years. Data were collected through questionnaire schedules then thereafter individual scores were summed up according to its procedure for giving statistical treatment. Results revealed the clear cut picture regarding the problems that perceived life satisfaction for both the group of Muslim aged men and women. It is important to note that significance of difference has also been found in terms of their perceived life satisfaction between the group of Muslim aged men and women, although, both the group have shown favorable inclination towards the degree of perceived reactions of life satisfaction. Moreover, results also revealed the fact that Muslim aged men were found more prone to the degree of their perceived life satisfaction than their female counterpart especially from where the sample has been drawn to undertake the present piece of research work. Finally, the discrepancy of obtained results has been discussed in the light of exigency of situations prevailing in New Delhi.

ABSTRACT
Organizational commitment is an important aspect of organizational psychology that can be applied as an aid to achieve higher level of performance and to develop and maintain discipline in an organization especially in educational institutions. Therefore, research interest in the area of organizational commitment has grown considerably. It is often observed that in many job situations, particularly in human services organizational commitment may have causative influence towards organizational change. Therefore, the present investigation is aimed at studying the organizational commitment towards organizational change. The sample of the present study was drawn from different departments of L. N. Mithila University, India and its constituent colleges. The sample consisted of one hundred fifty (N= l50) employees comprising teaching (n=75) and non – teaching (n =75) which were selected by applying random sampling technique. Total subjects’ age were ranged between 29 – 63 years. Data were collected through questionnaire schedules. Having obtained the data on each item of the scales, individual scores were summed up according to procedures for giving statistical treatment. Results indicated significant difference between the groups of teaching and non – teaching employees in terms of their degree of organizational commitment and in its dimensions towards organizational change, although, both the groups had shown positive inclination towards organizational change. It is interesting to point out here that teaching group was found to have more commitment towards organizational change than their non – teaching counterparts comparatively. Finally obtained results were discussed in detail by highlighting the probable reasons.

ABSTRACT
The author inspects the effect of ecological settings and gender on the development of social interest in adolescence, young adults, and middle adults. 360 Participants (male and female) from urban and rural India completed the Social Interest Index scale (Greever, Tseng & Friedland, 1973) and provided the demographic information. Results indicate that ecologies and gender are related to the development of social interest in adolescence, young adults, and middle adults. Middle adult participants displayed higher scores on self-significance than young adults and adolescents however young adults displayed higher scores concerning love and work. Male participants exhibited better social interest especially in the domains of self-significance and work. The females unveiled somewhat superior SI than male participants related to the domains of friendship and love. Nevertheless, the adolescents demonstrated more friendship scores than the other age groups. At large, the findings seem to reflect the roles and responsibilities that change with age and gender.
