... Previously, the Japanese army had entered the South Sumatra area on 14 February 1942 by passing the umbrella troops, amounting to 600-700 personnel, which resulted in the outbreak of war for two days, with a victory on the Japanese side after the Dutch surrendered. Starting from 16 February 1942, the official southern Sumatran people were under the rule of Japan (Bonnell 2020).

... For the academic precariat, increased casualisation within a two-tiered system has translated to them spending years -sometimes entire careers (Stringer et al. 2018) -cycling through contracts that leave them with little autonomy and vulnerable to changes in work (Oldfield et al. 2021;Thomas et al. 2020), with little hope of ever rising to the top tier.

... What is of utmost relevance is that soldiers in the second half of the nineteenth century can be viewed as an especially vulnerable segment of the population (Durkheim, 1897). The Austro-Hungarian military had one of the highest suicide rates during that time (over many years, substantially above a rate of 100 per 100,000), a fact that still elicits scholarly attention today (e.g., Bonnell, 2014;Braswell and Kushner, 2012;Leidinger, 2012;Smith et al., 2019). In addition, the death by suicide of the possible future commander-in-chief may have been associated with a high (vertical) identification-evoking potential for soldiers, similar to the prominent "celebrity suicides" of today (see Stack, 2005). ...
