Abstract:
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) presents several characteristics useful for forensic studies, especially related to the lack of recombination, to a high copy number, and to matrilineal inheritance. mtDNA typing based on sequences of the control region or full genomic sequences analysis is used to analyze a variety of forensic samples such as old bones, teeth and hair, as well as other biological samples where the DNA content is low. Evaluation and reporting of the results requires careful consideration of biological issues as well as other issues such as nomenclature and reference population databases. In this work we review mitochondrial DNA profiling methods used for human identification and present their use in the main cases of humanidentification focusing on the most relevant issues for forensics.

Abstract:
The handwritten signature as a characteristic of authentication has been legally and publicly recognised for centuries and has been used in the forensic field for many decades to identify an author. Approaches to biometric user authentication developed in recent years are also based in part on handwriting characteristics, such as automatic signature verification. This article systematically identifies handwriting features published in forensics and analyses which of these properties can be adapted as biometrics to verify the user. A user verification procedure based on a set of 14 forensic characteristics is presented, which is integrated into the biometric verification procedure. The results of the verification of these forensic features are compared in detailed tests with the features of non-forensic data, and it is shown that significant improvements in false detection rates can be achieved by including forensics. For hundreds of years, handwritten signatures have been legally and socially recognised as authentication. The reason for this is the uniqueness of human handwriting. Although a forger with some practice may visually imitate another person’s text or signature, the typical traces resulting from the (studied) behaviour of a victim of forgery are difficult to copy. To check the record, the pressure force of all overlay points with a pen at the beginning or inside the word, written letters on the weight are used. In addition, the way a writer unconsciously or even consciously connects words, letters, or parts of letters to each other is a specific trait for that person. In a forensic examination, experts examine these and other features to prove or disprove the authenticity of signatures or documents. In the field of forensic science, there are many procedures offered based on physical handwriting samples to determine a writer

Abstract:
In 1984, a group of Argentine students, trained by US academics, formed the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team to apply the latest scientific techniques to the excavation of mass graves and identification of the dead, and to work toward transitional justice. This inaugurated a new era in global forensic science, as groups of scientists in the Global South worked outside of and often against local governments to document war crimes in post-conflict settings. After 2001, however, with the inauguration of the war on terror following the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, global forensic science was again remade through US and European investment to increase preparedness in the face of potential terrorist attacks. In this paper, I trace this shift from human rights to humanitarian forensics through a focus on three moments in the history of post-conflict identification science. Through a close attention to the material semiotic networks of forensic science in post-conflict settings, I examine the shifting ground between non-governmental human rights forensics and an emerging security- and disaster-focused identification grounded in global law enforcement. I argue that these transformations are aligned with a scientific shift towards mechanized, routinized, and corporate-owned DNA identification and a legal privileging of the right to truth circumscribed by narrow articulations of kinship and the body.

Abstract:
Jewellery as a tool in the identification of the deceased is increasingly referenced within the scientific process of Forensic Human Identification (FHI). Jewellery’s prevalence in society, connection to both place and geographic region, potential to corroborate primary methods of identification (such as DNA, fingerprinting, or odontology), and robust physical form, means it progressively contributes to practices surrounding identification in a number of forensic fields. Physical marks or characteristics such as hallmarks or serial numbers, personal inscriptions or engravings, representational symbols (such as medals, badges of office, religious iconography or military insignia), and genealogical or gemmological markings, may also prove useful in informing investigators much about a piece - and potentially - the individual to whom it may have belonged. Despite this, jewellery is an approach to establishing human identity that has yet to be explicitly investigated from the perspective of either forensic science or jewellery design. The aim of this research has been to explore the potential of jewellery and highlight its significance within this context, through employing the processes and approaches of design. Informed by my own background in both jewellery and service design; I sought to co-design the interdisciplinary proposition of Forensic Jewellery as an extension of my own personal design practice, in addition to a broader hybrid methodology through which the dualistic perspective(s) of both forensic science and jewellery design may come to be mutually explored. By centring my methodology upon my practice, the research serves to document and reflect upon my auto-ethnographic experiences in inadvertently ‘prototyping’ my emergent new role as a Forensic Jeweller – a jewellery designer engaged within, or whose work pertains to, the field of forensic science. Through a range of forensic-based fieldwork, I sought to immerse myself within various communities of forensic practice by way of considering how a design practitioner may come to add value to this otherwise polarised field - a highly subjective and interpretive framework that has remained wholly unconsidered within forensic science. In simultaneously considering the impact of the perspective of forensics upon the broader field of jewellery design, I came to capture some of the otherwise restricted narratives of Forensic Jewellery emerging from the developing research context through a series of theoretically-informed design ‘reconstructions’: objects, concepts, and scenarios (representational, propositional, and metaphorical); educational material, and series of public engagement activities. The research thus culminates in a unique portfolio of practice – written, conceptual, and visual – with relevance to both forensic science and jewellery design history, theory, and practice. Original contributions to knowledge are demonstrated through the direct study of jewellery within real-world forensic settings through combined theory and practice, while the theoretical and conceptual debates surrounding identity, death, and the human body present within the field of jewellery design are simultaneously extended through the inclusion of forensics as a perspective. The research additionally demonstrates how the visual and tangible sensibilities of design can help to attend to otherwise challenging, emotional, or difficult subjects, capture and communicate tacit knowledge or anecdotal evidence, and ultimately contribute to the development of new and emergent research contexts.

Abstract:
Dental records have been widely used as tools in forensic identification. With the vast volume of cases that need to be investigated by forensic odontologists, a move towards a computer-aided dental identification system is necessary. We propose a computer-aided framework for efficient matching of dental x-rays for human identification purposes. Given a dental x-ray with a marked region of interest (ROI), we search the database of x-rays (presumed to be taken from known individuals) to retrieve a closest match. In this work we use a slightly extended Weighted Sum of Squared Differences (SSD) cost function to express the degree of similarity/overlap between two dental radiographs. Unlike other iterative Least Squares methods that use local information for gradient-based optimization, our method finds the globally optimal translation. In 90% of the identification trials, our method ranked the correct match in the top 10% using a database of 571 images. Experiments indicate that matching dental records using the extended SSD cost function is a viable method for human dental identification.

Abstract:
The analysis of anatomical features on the dorsum of the hand has been utilised in forensic investigations for ascertaining anatomical similarities and differences between suspect and offender images, since 2007. This approach was introduced and developed by the team at CAHId, and has primarily been used in cases of child sexual abuse, where an image is discovered depicting the offence, and the perpetrator’s hand visible in the image. This form of evidence has been admitted as evidence on the premise of its strong anatomical underpinning. However, forensic techniques (both emerging and established) are increasingly being scrutinised for their reliability and validity with regards to legal admissibility. In response to this, the purpose of this research was to introduce a methodology to quantify the anatomical features most often used in the cases described, with the overriding aim of strengthening anatomical feature analysis as a reputable form of forensic evidence. This thesis presents the results pertaining to establishing the reliability of data extraction from digital images, in terms of method repeatability. The variation of the veins and surface features was explored, with regard to influences from biological characteristics, and the investigation of whether images of poor quality (representing a forensic case image) lead to a loss of data, compared to the suspect image (usually of higher quality than the offender image). The anatomical features (superficial vein patterns and surface features) were assessed both independently and in conjunction to establish whether more than one feature could be more discriminatory, than one. The results of these analyses indicate that the method proposed in this study is reliable, when applied by one observer and by several. An overview of the vein pattern and surface feature variation is presented to give an indication of feature distribution across a sample population. Importantly, it was found that a significant level of anatomical information is lost when comparing images in standardised conditions with images in non-standardised conditions, representing forensic case images. All results are extensively discussed in relation to relevant literatures and the applicability for use as a viable forensic technique with regards to current admissibility standards.

Abstract:
Existem dificuldades envolvendo as radiografias para as técnicas comparativas de identificação humana. A falta de tecidos moles, o posicionamento do crânio e dos filmes representa obstáculos freqüentes durante as perícias antropológicas. Com objetivo de padronizar e obter imagens de qualidade e reduzir adaptações, testamos exposições, barreiras e outros aspectos radiográficos para a confecção de um protocolo envolvendo radiografias periapicais e panorâmica em crânios esqueletizados. Com a utilização de um dispositivo acrílico desenvolvido para posicionar o crânio, radiografias panorâmicas em diferentes configurações de potência do aparelho foram tomadas. Posteriormente, quatro objetos foram testados para compensar a falta de tecidos moles: uma bolsa térmica, um bloco de cera sete, uma placa de aço zincado e um filme, exposto à luz e processado, que foi mantido entre a película e a tela intensificadora. Para as radiografias periapicais, filmes do tipo E speed Kodak foram expostos por tempos variando entre 0,06 a 0,8 seg nas regiões de molares e incisivos em ambos os arcos. Os filmes foram fixados por posicionadores clínicos estabilizados por um suporte confeccionado com fios metálicos. O tempo de processamento foi de 45 seg de revelação e 10 min. de fixação. As radiografias foram apresentadas a quinze profissionais, de diferentes especialidades, que escolheram os melhores resultados, concluindo que as radiografias panorâmicas com a combinação de 63 Kv e 06 mA e com dois filmes presentes no chassi apresentou melhor qualidade e praticidade. Para as periapicais as exposições de 0,64 seg. no arco superior e 0,8 seg. no arco inferior obtiveram melhor aceitação. Com os resultados obtidos somados aos dados obtidos na literatura, um protocolo foi confeccionado e anexado a essa dissertação.
There are plenty of difficulties surrounding the radiographs for the comparative techniques on human identification. The lack of soft tissue, the skulls and films positioning are a few of the obstacles faced in anthropological studies. With the objectives to standardize, producing high quality images and reducing adaptations, different exposure times, barriers and other aspects involving radiographs were tested in order to establish a protocol involving periapical and panoramic radiographs of dry skulls. With the help of an acrylic stand, specially designed to position the cranium, panoramic radiographs were primarily taken using different preset configurations, then four materials were tested to compensate for lack of soft tissue: a ice pack, a block of dental wax, a metal plate and finally a film exposed to light and processed that was left between the blank film and the intensifying screen. For the periapical radiographs, Kodak E-speed films were exposed to times from 0.06 to 0.8 second at the upper and lower molars and anterior regions. Clinical film holders were used and kept in position by a metal wire device. The processing times were 45 seconds of development and 10 minutes of fixation. The radiographs were presented to a group of fifteen dentists, of several specialties, who selected the best results and concluding that the panoramic radiographs were best taken with the 63 Kv and 06 mA configurations and two films inside the cassette. For the periapical the exposure times of 0.64 sec for the upper arch and 0.8 sec for the lower achieved the best acceptance. The presented results, allied with the data found in the literature a protocol was also prepared and attached to this research.

Abstract:
Introduction: Forensic pathologists may be asked to identify the race group or sex of a cranium of unknown origin. Race group refers to geographic ancestry and sex is biological sex. An analysis of the volumes and measurements of human paranasal sinuses, namely maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinuses, in dried crania of different race and sex groups (European and Zulu male and female) was undertaken to search for a new improved approach of classifying crania according to race and sex. This anatomical assessment of the human paranasal sinuses identifies race and sex variations in the paranasal sinuses. Variations in paranasal sinus volumes and measurements may mean a variation in anatomical landmarks. The best combination of sinus measurements was selected to classify a cranium according to race group and sex making this research relevant to the field of forensic medicine. Objectives: To compare the paranasal sinus volumes and measurements of dried crania of European and Zulu descent with respect to race group and sex and to develop a method of classifying a cranium according to race group or sex by using dimensions of the paranasal sinuses. Methodology: Documented, cadaver derived, dried crania were obtained from the Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons, housed at the School of Anatomical Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Age, race and sex were recorded for each cranium within the collection and hence within the study sample. 26 Adult European crania; 13 male, 13 female. Age range 19-75yrs (mean 49.42yrs) and 27 Adult Zulu crania: 13 male, 14 female. Age range 16-90yrs (mean 40.16yrs) was selected for this study. An additional cranium of unknown origin was also analysed in the research. European crania were from descendants of Europe living in South Africa and Zulu crania were obtained from Zulu patients who were part of the Zulu tribe of South Africa. 53 crania with intact paranasal sinuses (106 individual sinuses for each of the maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinuses) were studied. In addition, 2 sinuses from the unknown cranium were analysed. The dried crania of European and Zulu origin were assessed by helical, multislice computed tomography using 1mm coronal slices. The area for each slice was obtained by tracing the outline of each slice. A volume was calculated by the CT machine that totaled the slices for each sinus. Measurements of width, length and height were also assessed, as were other craniometrical measurements. Statistical analysis was performed for all European and Zulu male and female sinuses in respect of volumes and measurements. Further statistical analysis searched for classification patterns. In addition, forty patients' scans from the European and Zulu male and female groups in Southern Africa were also assessed. CT scans of 10 adult European males, 10 adult European females, 10 adult Zulu males and 10 adult Zulu females provided 40 pairs of maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinuses for analysis. Europeans were South African persons of European descent and Zulus were from the Zulu tribe of Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa. Results: The aim of identifying race and sex differences in this anatomical region is achieved. Significant race and sex variations were found in the European and Zulu, male and female groups when analysing the volumes and measurements of the paranasal sinuses. The very best combinations of classifiable measurements were described and are being put forward as a new tool in human forensic identification studies. The significant sex classification figure of 91.8% by combining ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal paranasal sinus measurements, is a new discovery for using a combination of the sinuses. The significant race classification figure of 95.9 % is an excellent classification figure for classification according to race. This was done using the measurements of maxillary, ethmoid and total distance across the sinuses. All this was achieved by using the measurements of the paranasal sinuses in a European and Zulu, male and female population. Conclusion: Forensic race and sex identification of crania is now possible using a combination of measurements from the paranasal sinuses. A new approach to classifying a cranium into an race or sex group is revealed by way of using a new combination of paranasal sinus measurements. This discovery is of importance to forensic medicine in the realm of identification as it provides a measurable way of assigning race or sex to a cranium within a particular region. Other studies based on other race groups may add further value. What is clear is that the paranasal sinuses are now of established value when assessing race or sex group of a unknown cranium. A new tool for forensic race and sex identification is provided to the armamentarium of the forensic pathologist and associated disciplines.

Abstract:
Salt River Mortuary (SRM), Cape Town, investigates ~3500 cases of unnatural death annually, with an apparent burden of unclaimed bodies. A retrospective review was first undertaken to assess the number of these individuals who remained unidentified. Medicolegal records were examined (2010-2017), and ~9% of cases remained unidentified each year. DNA analysis was performed in 23.5% of cases. At the time of this study, unidentified bodies were in storage for up to two years, pending pauper burial. DNA profiling assists forensic human identification, and the analysis of markers on the Y-chromosome has particular importance in kinship analysis. To evaluate the statistical probability of DNA profiles matching between samples, reference data from the background population is required. Such data for the Y-chromosome is lacking for some populations groups in South Africa (SA). As such this study aimed to generate Y-chromosome data relevant to SA. Second to this, the obtainability of DNA profiles from unidentified decedents at SRM, prior to pauper burial, was investigated. Biological samples were obtained from 653 SA individuals (living: n=480; deceased: n=173) belonging to four major population groups. Following internal validation, samples were processed using the Promega PowerPlex® Y23 System. A cohort-representative subset of DNA profiles were also generated using the forensically validated Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assay on the MiSeq FGx™ system, to assess concordance. Statistical analysis was performed using Arlequin and STATA packages. Full DNA profiles (i.e. haplotypes) were obtained from 626 samples (African: n=183; Coloured: n=170; Indian/Asian: n=111; White: n=162), with 599 haplotypes being unique to a single individual. Following optimisation, haplotypes were obtained from >99% and 85% of living and deceased individuals, respectively. Haplotypes were generated from numerous individuals stored for over one year, and DNA profile quality was not associated with time between death declaration and sample collection. NGS results confirmed the presence of one micro-variant and resolved allele-calling in five instances where the capillary electrophoresis assay was incorrect. Thus, concordance was observed in 98% of loci reviewed. Overall, haplotypes were successfully obtained for four different SA population groups, including refrigerated decedents, even 887 days after death declaration. This demonstrates that DNA profiling can be successful for decedents and efforts should be made to store DNA profiles for the possibility of familial searching and identification, even after burial. Identification of the multitude of unclaimed bodies at forensic facilities nationwide holds immense value for living family members, and provides closure for the acceptance of death and life thereafter.

Abstract:
Body fluids are commonly recovered from crime scenes by forensic investigators and their identification are necessary part of forensic casework study. Current body fluid identification techniques rely on enzymatic tests, which have limited sensitivity and specificity, they require large amount of template, use separate assays for various body fluids, and are prone to contamination. Various genes are expressed in different body fluids that could be used as genetic markers for body fluid identification, and are used in forensic investigations. The aim of this study was to use mRNA markers to identify human body fluids, which included blood, semen, saliva, vaginal secretion and menstrual blood. Initially, ten reference genes (UCE, TEF, GAPDH, 18S rRNA, ACTB, B2M, B-Actin, OAZ1, RPS 29 and S15) were studied to establish an appropriate reference gene in body fluid identification. These are constitutive genes used for normalisation of gene expression data and control of variations in experiments. qRT-PCR efficiency, sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) were investigated using SYBR Green and Taqman probes. The results of the SYBR Green efficiency test experiment displayed five markers, UCE, TEF, ACTB, B2M, and RPS29 with 90-110% efficiency with a slope -3.33 ± 10%. Subsequently, Taqman probes were designed for the five markers and then used for the Taqman probe experiment. Reference gene stability test was carried out on body fluid samples stored up to 6 months at room temperature using the designed Taqman probe assays. The results established ACTB and UCE as best candidate reference gene markers in this study as both were most stable in samples stored for 6 months. Furthermore, to identify each of the five body fluids, thirty-two (32) body fluid specific mRNA markers were evaluated, optimised and validated. The experiment was initially carried out with non-fluorescent makers to determine the specificity of the markers. These were analysed using agarose gel electrophoresis. Further optimization was then carried out using fluorescently labelled markers. This was done in five separate multiplexes for each body fluid; –semen-plex, saliva-plex, vaginal secretion-plex, menstrual blood-plex and blood-plex. An attempt was made to combine all the five-separate multiplex into a single multiplex. All body fluids were identified unambiguously with no cross-reactions of non-target body fluids using the combined multiplex assays. Following further evaluation and validation tests, a total of 14 markers were selected and a capillary electrophoresis (CE) based, multiplex assay was developed to identify blood, saliva, semen and vaginal secretion samples simultaneously. The markers in the developed multiplex assay included ALAS2 and PF4 (blood), STATH and HTN3 (saliva), PRM1, TGM4, MSMB, NKX3-1 (semen), ACTB and UCE (reference genes), CRYP2B7P1, SFTA2, MUC4 and L. crispatus (vaginal secretion). Extensive validation, which include sensitivity, specificity, reduced volume reactions, degradation, reproducibility, mixtures, cycle number and mastermix, was carried out in accordance with the guidelines detailed in Scientific Working Group in DNA Analysis (SWGDAM). The 14-marker CE-based assay displayed high specificity and sensitivity. Each body fluid was detected down to 1:3000 dilution of mRNA except vaginal secretion that was detected down to 1:1500 dilutions of sensitivity. Specificity experiments showed no cross reactions of the assay with non-target body fluids. Reproducibility study displayed similar results reported from an independent laboratory. All body fluids exposed to environmental insult were identified up to at least day 30 of 51, with blood being identified up to day 51. In the mixture study, all body fluids were identified unambiguously using the developed multiplex assay. In conclusion, the results of this study have led to the development of a new and novel capillary electrophoresis-based mRNA marker assay for forensic body fluid identification, demonstrating its compatibility with forensic laboratory workflows. The use of this assay to profile forensic casework samples for body fluid identification would be a future application of this work.

Abstract:
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)
In Sudan there are currently no programmes targeting dentists to improve their own knowledge about how they can be part of human identification by keeping good dental records. In addition, no guidelines are stated by the health authorities about making, keeping and retention of dental records. The aim of this research was to assess the accuracy of dental records drawn up by the general dentists in Sudan with regard to forensic dental identification and compare these records to an ideal dental record. Dental records of 180 patients obtained from six sites (major dental sectors) were reviewed and compared with an ideal dental record. The data was captured in Excel and statistically analyzed. The results showed that two third of the dentists do not undertake full tooth charting prior to treatment and sometimes this is not shown in their dental records; The dentist name who examined and treated the patient was clearly mentioned in 55.6% of the dental records examined. Dentists in Sudan do not request many radiographs but they depend mainly on intra oral periapical views (PV) and Orthopantomographs (OPG) with a fair to good quality. The medical history was recorded in 44% of the total number of records examined. The quality of dental records in this study was poor in general dental practices but was fair in governmental hospitals. An integrated education programmes to increase the awareness of the dentists in Sudan about accurate record keeping is recommended. Clear guide lines from the health authorities for dental recording system should be developed.
