Some authors say that, suicide is always the final result of a very long chain of motives and causes. That is why it differs from epoch to epoch, from one society to another and from one individual to another. With children and young people things are also different. Suicide attempts are very rare under the age of 10, more frequent between 10 and 15, and it reaches the highest point between the ages of 15 und 18. Suicide under the age of 10 is frequently noticed with schizophrenics or people with schizophrenic reactions, but other times it is an impulsive or short circuit act or the result of a long mental preparation (playing with the idea). At the older child and the teenager, the psychic factors are the most important ones (for example: strong psycho-traumatizing situations, absence of affective support, elements of vengeance, etc). In this paper we will broadly analyze these factors and also the way in which forensic medicine contributes to the stopping of this phenomenon among young people.

The present paper is a multidisciplinary investigation of the indoor air quality inside the Multipurpose Hall of the University of Oradea, based both on specific monitoring and questionnaire-based survey to identify people's perception in this regard. The monitoring, carried out during October-November 2016 when the heating did not work, was focused on: relative air temperature and humidity (Thermohygrometer data logger Klimalogg Pro), carbon dioxide (CO2) (Extech Instruments CO250 model automatic gas analyzer), air microflora investigation (Koch sedimentation method in accordance with applicable standards). Monitoring results showed: an optimal level of temperature and humidity, so that sports competitions can be carried out at a good level, and a small to medium level of microbial contamination. The sociological survey showed that only a small percentage of respondents identified negative aspects of indoor air quality or had negative physical symptoms related to poor indoor air exposure.

Accessibility (geographic or spatial) to health services is a component of health care services access that through measurement can assess inequities in health. Geographical accessibility can be measured using a geographic information system (GIS) where travel time is calculated from the patient’s home to the place where a service is delivered. Permanent care centers of family doctors (PCCs) are units providing family medicine services (consultations, injections, solving minor emergencies) outside the work schedule of family doctors (night and holiday), for overloading prevention of emergency hospitals services by direct addressing or by calling to the unique emergency number 112. Bihor County has 617118 inhabitants in the 101 administrative-territorial units (458 localities), 334 family medicine practices, and there were 34 PCCs. We intended to identify the number of localities in more than 10, 20 or 30 minutes of travel by car from the PCC (based on end-2018 data). A GIS was created using the QGIS application, which includes layers: the county border, the 454 localities and the georeferenced addresses of PCC. Using the ORS Tools plug-in, the appropriate isochrones were created. Then overlapping isochrones and localities (points), the number of localities for which the travel time to the nearest PCC is greater than 10, 20 and 30 minutes, respectively, was obtained. The time needed for the inhabitants to reach the PCC is: more than 10 minutes for 247 localities; more than 20 minutes for 81 localities and over 30 minutes for 10 localities. The results are presented in the form of maps and in tabular form (localities). Using GIS, accessibility to medical services in a territory (city, county, country) can be measured. The application of free GIS software, QGIS, requires hardware, staff training, procedures (for work and decision-making) to research and improve population access to health services. Key messages Access to health services can be assessed using geographic information systems. The use of appropriate maps facilitates decision making to optimize health services.
