Abstract:
The identification of victims involved in mass fatality incidents, as well as the identification of unknown individuals in criminal cases has become an increasingly important issue nowadays. Sex assessment represents a key point in forensic evaluations due to its significance in providing biological identity. Even though the availability of documented skeletal remains to forensic practitioners is a common practice in many countries, in Turkey, contemporary documented skeletal remains are not available for this purpose. For this reason, studies have been focused on living populations. Previous research has shown that modern technologies such as CT scanning present very promising potential in establishing new standards for contemporary populations. Therefore, the main aim of this project was to examine the application of the measurements taken from 3D CT images of the femur in order to assess sex, and to contribute to the establishment of discriminant function equations for the Turkish population for forensic applications. The accuracy and reproducibility of imaging methods in the assessment of the measurements taken from femora are essential when estimating sex. This research also concentrated on determining the accuracy and repeatability of CT measurements, using the femur. Prior to primary data collection, a preliminary study was performed in an effort to test the reliability of the femur measurements. The results of reliability analysis indicated no significant difference between the three observations of each measurement. Thus, the methodology employed in the current study appears reliable and reproducible. In addition, a validation study was conducted to determine the linear measurement accuracy of the 3D volume rendering models derived from a medical CT scanner and the influence of different reconstruction parameters. The differences between measurements obtained from dry bones and their 3D volume rendered models were also evaluated. The results from this study indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between measurements taken from different reconstruction parameters and measurements obtained from CT images and drybones. Using the CT data, volume-rendering function (VR), 3D Curved Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), and Scout View on OsiriX were employed in order to compare the accuracy and reliability of each rendering method and to determine which technique is optimal for linear measurements. Overall, the measurements taken from the 3D Volume Rendering images had the highest intra-observer reliability when compared to the other two rendering methods. This research study produced data and interpretations that will inform on and improve population specific standards of sex assessment from three-dimensional postcranial osteometric landmarks. Additionally, this research is believed to provide value for a developing discipline of forensic anthropology, and integrate within the existing systems of criminal investigation and disaster victim identification practices in Turkey. A Turkish sample population, consisting of 300 adult hospital patients was examined via the interpretation of CT reconstructed images using the OsiriX software. The 3D reconstructions were then created using the volume-rendering function in OsiriX (v.5.6.). Following the 3D reconstruction, an image of each femur was segmented from the surrounding bones to ensure the correct usage of landmarks as accurately as possible. Thirteen measurements were acquired using a 3D viewer after being located and marked on each CT reconstructed femora. These thirteen anthropometric parameters were measured and analysed by basic descriptive statistics and discriminant analysis methods using the SPSS 21.0 software package. The intra-observer variation was assessed by obtaining the intraclass correlation coefficient in order to evaluate the accuracy of the linear measurements taken. Asymmetry was also tested. The results indicated that an accuracy of 92.3% was acquired from a combination of six of the measurements, and the Femur Vertical Diameter of Neck (FVDN) measurement was found to be the most dimorphic with 88.0% accuracy.

Abstract:
Le ossa antiche, recuperate dai contesti archeologici e preservati all’interno dei Musei, rappresentano una preziosa fonte di informazioni sull'alimentazione, lo stato di salute, la mobilità delle popolazioni antiche nonché sulla demografia e condizioni ambientali del passato, utili a ricercatori e accademici. A seguito dello sviluppo di moderne tecnologie delle scienze omiche, i reperti osteologici sono sempre più richiesti e questo ha comportato un aumento dell'analisi del DNA antico (aDNA). I metodi di campionamento per l'estrazione del DNA antico sono prevalentemente distruttivi e spesso possono compromettere i reperti osteologici per ulteriori future analisi o per studi in altri campi di ricerca. Oltre al campionamento invasivo e distruttivo, in condizioni di scarsa conservazione dell’osso archeologico causata da alterazioni tafonomiche e diagenetiche, il sequenziamento del DNA antico può essere un'operazione estremamente costosa. Dati gli elevati costi della procedura di sequenziamento dell'aDNA, in questo lavoro di ricerca è stato condotto uno studio analitico mediante spettroscopia a raggi infrarossi (FTIR) per sviluppare un metodo di pre-screening affidabile, veloce ed economico per determinare la presenza/assenza di molecole genetiche in un campione osseo archeologico. La spettroscopia IR è uno strumento utile in quanto è rapida, minimamente distruttiva, economica e sensibile alle variazioni delle proprietà strutturali delle componenti organiche (collagene) e inorganiche (nano cristalli di bioapatite) che costituiscono l’osso. A livello ultrastrutturale, le componenti organiche e inorganiche possono stabilire forti legami con il DNA , stabilizzandolo e determinando la sua sopravvivenza nel tempo. Da campioni archeologici (di epoche e provenienze diverse) estremamente alterati a moderne ossa fresche, abbiamo valutato la sensibilità e l'efficacia di nuovi parametri IR per caratterizzare la diagenesi subita dalle ossa tenendo in considerazioni i cambiamenti delle condizioni climatico–ambientali e di seppellimento. Il lavoro è stato esteso per esaminare le modificazioni indotte dalla diagenesi sulla struttura secondaria del collagene conservato, valutandone gli effetti sui cristalli di bioapatite. I risultati ottenuti dimostrano che il parametro IR che descrive l’ordine/disordine atomico, utilizzato in questa ricerca, è vantaggioso per il monitoraggio di variazioni minime nella struttura e nelle proprietà chimiche della bioapatite nonché indirettamente nel collagene. Questo metodo potrebbe migliorare il processo di selezione dei campioni ossei nonché la loro idoneità per analisi specifiche, ad es. analisi genetiche, paleoproteomiche e degli isotopi stabili sulla base delle analisi spettrali. Viene qui proposto inoltre un modello predittivo funzionale con i parametri infrarossi utilizzati, al fine di determinare il parametro più predittivo per la prensenza/assenza di DNA, utile per ridurre i costi delle analisi genetiche. Dai dati ottenuti, la qualità/quantità di aDNA risulterebbe non essere determinabile a causa dell'influenza di fattori ambientali locali.<br>Ancient bone tissues, recovered from archaeological contexts and preserved within the Museums, represent a valuable source of information on health, diet, mobility of ancient populations as well as on demographics and environmental conditions of the past, useful for researchers and academics. Following the development of modern technologies of omic sciences, osteological finds are increasingly requested and this has led to an increase in the analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA). Sampling methods for ancient DNA extraction are predominantly destructive and may often compromise osteological findings for further future analysis or for studies in other research fields. In addition to invasive and destructive sampling, in poor conservation conditions of the archaeological bone caused by taphonomic and diagenetic alterations, the sequencing of ancient DNA can be an extremely expensive operation. Given the high costs of the aDNA sequencing procedure, an analytical study by means of infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted in this research work to develop a reliable, fast and inexpensive pre-screening method to determine presence/absence of genetic molecules in an archaeological bone sample. Infrared spectroscopy is a useful tool fast, minimally destructive, inexpensive and sensitive to changes in the structural properties of the organic (collagen) and inorganic (bioapatite nanocrystals) components that make up bone. At the ultrastructural level, the organic and inorganic components of bone may stabilize strong bounds with DNA, stabilizing it and determining its survival over time. The sensitivity and efficiency of new IR parameters was tested on fresh bones and extremely altered archaeological samples, characterized by different chronology and origin. The diagenesis undergone by the bones was characterized taking into account changes in climatic-environmental and burial conditions. The research was expanded by examining changes induced by diagenesis on the secondary structure of collagen preserved, evaluating their effects on bioapatite crystals. The results obtained demonstrate that the IR parameter used in this research, that describes the atomic order/disorder, is advantageous for monitoring minimal changes in the structure and chemical properties of bioapatite as well as indirectly in collagen. This method may improve the selection process of bone samples as well as their suitability for specific analyzes, e.g. genetic, paleo-proteomic and stable isotope analysis on the basis of infrared spectra. A functional predictive model with the infrared parameters used, in order to determine the most predictive parameter for the presence/absence of DNA, allowing to reduce the costs of genetic analyzes, was proposed here. The results obtained, shows that the quality/quantity of aDNA cannot be determined due to the influence of local environmental factors.

Abstract:
Nell’ambito delle indagini genetico-forensi i reperti scheletrici sono spesso il solo materiale biologico disponibile per l'identificazione individuale di soggetti scomparsi e rinvenuti in diverse circostanze quali disastri di massa, guerre, eventi socio-politici e accertamenti della paternità biologica effettuati su soggetti deceduti a seguito di esumazione. Il DNA estratto da reperti ossei è normalmente presente in basso numero di copie (Low Copy Number) e altamente degradato a causa di alterazioni chimico-fisiche derivanti sia dalla datazione del reperto biologico stesso sia dalle condizioni ambientali alle quali il campione viene sottoposto talvolta per lunghi periodi di tempo. L’adeguata procedura di estrazione così come l'amplificazione del DNA, rappresentano step fondamentali per l’acquisizione di profili genetici da campioni scheletrici la cui attendibilità è fortemente influenzata dall’integrità del campione. Per quanto riguarda i resti scheletrici, allo stato attuale non esiste un metodo di estrazione del DNA infallibile e standardizzato, idoneo per la successiva determinazione del profilo genetico, come pure l’amplificazione del DNA mediante marcatori genetici tradizionali quali gli Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) risulta essere talvolta inefficace nei casi che vedono coinvolto del DNA altamente degradato. In questo studio sono state analizzate diverse tipologie di resti scheletrici umani la cui datazione variava da pochi mesi a circa 90 anni post mortem, rinvenuti in ambienti differenti e quindi caratterizzati da un variabile stato di conservazione. E’ stato sviluppato un nuovo protocollo di estrazione del DNA, consistente in un primo step di purificazione del campione decalcificato e lisato, con il tradizionale metodo fenolo-cloroformio, atto a separare fisicamente il DNA da proteine e materiale contaminante quale ad esempio terriccio. Successivamente ciascun campione è stato estratto mediante kit di estrazione basati su differenti principi chimico-fisici, per valutare sulla base dei profili genetici ottenuti, quale fosse il più idoneo ed efficace nell’estrazione del DNA e da quale distretto osseo si potesse ottenere un profilo genetico di migliore qualità. L’associazione tra fenolo cloroformio e uno specifico kit basato su estrazione del DNA mediante colonne cromatografiche, si è rivelato essere il metodo più efficace grazie all’utilizzo del fenolo cloroformio che ha permesso di purificare gli estratti impedendo che detriti di varia natura interferissero con le colonne cromatografiche, occludendole e grazie all’elevata capacità estrattiva del kit in esame. Inoltre, poiché è noto che l’utilizzo di polimorfismi di dimensioni ridotte (Mini Short Tandem Repeats- MiniSTRs) rispetto agli STRs convenzionali risulta essere estremamente efficace nella determinazione di un profilo genetico da campioni di DNA altamente degradato, i primers di otto marcatori STR ampiamente validati e inclusi in numerosi kit commerciali, sono stati ridisegnati in prossimità della regione altamente ripetuta del marcatore prescelto. Gli otto nuovi MiniSTRs sono stati quindi assemblati e suddivisi in due quadruplexes ottenendo prodotti di PCR di dimensioni inferiori a 130 paia di basi. Il protocollo di estrazione presentato in questo studio ha fornito risultati positivi nei reperti scheletrici analizzati, con elettivo riferimento ai campioni ossei quali femore, di diversa datazione e stato di conservazione. È inoltre da sottolineare come le condizioni ambientali a cui resti sono stati esposti, hanno avuto una maggiore influenza sulla stato di degradazione del DNA rispetto all'età dei reperti scheletrici stessi. Mediante l’utilizzo di kit commerciali per l’amplificazione del DNA e delle due mini-STR quadruplexes sono stati ottenuti profili genetici costituiti da minimo 12 STR da tutti i campioni di femore analizzati, permettendo il riconoscimento dei soggetto deceduto, mediante la comparazione del profilo genetico ottenuto con quello dei presunti parenti. Il metodo di estrazione del DNA descritto in questo lavoro e l’introduzione di nuovi MiniSTRs in aggiunta ai kit commerciali disponibili, sono risultati essere efficaci per la determinazione di profili genetici da campioni scheletrici caratterizzati da DNA altamente degradato.<br>In forensic cases human remains are often the only biological material available for identification of missing persons or unknown remains found in different circumstances such as mass disasters, wars or socio-political events and to solve paternity issues. DNA extracted from bones is often present in low copy number (LCN) and in various states of degradation due to chemical and physical damages produced by intrinsic and extrinsic bone characteristics. Efficient DNA extraction procedures, as well as accurate DNA amplification, are critical steps involved in the process of successful DNA analysis of skeletal samples. Unfortunately, at present there is not an infallible method to recover DNA from very degraded samples due to variations in DNA yield from larger bone fragments that may be attributed to heterogeneity within a bones. In this study different types of human bones ranging in age from few months to 90 years post mortem, found in various states of preservation and conserved in different places, were analyzed. We developed a modified silica based spin columns protocol, consisting in an initial separation of DNA from proteins and waste material, by using phenol-chloroform to better purify samples. Moreover, as the recovery of information from these degraded samples is enhanced by the use of smaller PCR products (Mini Short Tandem Repeats) rather than conventional STRs, eight STR markers included in available commercial multiplex PCR kits, were redesigned by moving forward and reverse primers in close proximity to the STR repeat region. Two PCR quadruplexes were assembled to obtain PCR products less than 130 bp in size. Our modified protocol was successfully employed to extract DNA from long bones of different ages and preservation state. Importantly the use of phenol chloroform consistently increased the amount of DNA that could be extracted from long bones, because it allowed to clean samples preventing that waste material interferes with columns or magnetic beads. Environmental conditions under which remains were exposed, had stronger influence on the state of DNA quality than the age of skeletal remains. Moreover the use of miniSTRs has proposed here could be used in addition to commercial kits, to increase as much as possible the number of markers analyzed. Using amplification commercial kits and the two new mini-STR quadruplex systems we always obtained genetic profiles of at least 12 STR from DNA typing of femur samples. The improvement of DNA extraction methods and the inclusion of robust and powerful miniSTR loci in addition to the commercial available kits, are effective solutions for forensic practices of degraded DNA samples because ensure that difficult casework samples with low amounts of degraded DNA can be fully typed.

Abstract:
The few human remains found at Klimonas (N = 13) come from various archaeological contexts and from several structures. The majority of them were found in first and second phases of the Communal building (Structure 10; Minimum Number of individuals (MNI = 2); others came from Sector B (MNI = 1). These are the oldest known in Cyprus. Only cranial remains are present. We cannot exclude that the human skull had a special significance at Klimonas but the data are too scarce to demonstrate this. All the human remains could also have come from disturbed burials and been brought into the buildings with the soil used for their construction or for that of the interior structures. These few observations raise questions about the burial practices of the first inhabitants of Cyprus and need to be completed by other discoveries.

Abstract:
Bone, a key part of the paleontological and archeological records, can provide insight into the biology, ecology and the environment of ancient vertebrates. Bone is a composite material in which the nanomechanical properties are dependent on the local organic content, mineral content, and microstructural organization. However it is unclear as to how these properties are affected by burial, environmental influences, temperature, or time. The acidity of volcanic soils causes resorption of the bone mineral and may result in demineralization of the bone. As such, very few bone remains are found in volcanic soils and this rare sample can provide insight into the preservation under such extreme conditions. While the effects of volcanic soils on bone are unknown, exposure to hostile environmental conditions increases the potential for dramatic alteration of the mechanical behavior. In this study, a human long bone from around 600 A.D. and a modern human femur were studied using nanoindentation. Testing, performed in both longitudinal and transverse directions, revealed preservation of bone’s natural anisotropy. Additionally, the preserved bone’s lower modulus values suggest the dissolution of bone mineral.

Abstract:
The study reports levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 163 Israeli military reservists who were recruited to gather and identify the bodies and body parts of civilians and soldiers killed on the October 7th 2023 Hamas terror attack. Previous studies examining the effects of body handling have mostly been conducted among rescue workers, not allowing for a differentiation between the potentially traumatic effect of body handling and the effect of exposure to the traumatic rescue event itself. Using the PCL-5 questionnaire and according to the DSM-5 criteria for PTSD, 20% were found to be at the clinical range of PTSD, a rate that is higher than rates from studies on rescue workers and body handlers after accidents or due to natural causes, and similar to findings among soldiers in high-conflict areas. Logistic regression indicated that a one-point increase in distancing emotion coping increased the odds for PTSD by 5.73 times and a one-point increase in perceived job difficulty increased the odds by 1.78. The study points to the high traumatic potential of handling bodies. It also indicates that the use of distancing oneself from one’s emotions is highly non-adaptive. The research was conducted immediately after the body handlers finished their work, thus providing knowledge of the immediate effect of handling bodies.

Abstract:
Ontology repair remains one of the main bottlenecks for the development of ontologies for practical use. Many automated methods have been developed for suggesting potential repairs, but ultimately human intervention is required for selecting the adequate one, and the human expert might be overwhelmed by the amount of information delivered to her. We propose a decomposition of ontologies into smaller components that can be repaired in parallel. We show the utility of our approach for ontology repair, provide algorithms for computing this decomposition through standard reasoning, and study the complexity of several associated problems.

Abstract:
This paper explores the dynamic of post-revolution state building in Kyrgyzstan, with a focus on its political landscape following the 2020 revolution. While pledging to regain the status of the Central Asian “island of democracy”, Japarov’s government’s efforts have run into significant resistance. In effect, Kyrgyzstan remains plagued with a series of authoritarian malpractices, including but not limited to corruption and human rights violations.

Abstract:
Financial inclusion is a key driver of productivity in Nepal, yet its impact remains uneven across provinces. This study examines the relationship between financial inclusion and total factor productivity (TFP), revealing a positive correlation. While government efficiency and urbanization enhance productivity, human development shows no direct impact. The findings highlight the need for targeted financial policies, digital banking expansion, and regulatory reforms to ensure inclusive economic growth.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper surveys gender wage gaps in Colombia from 1994 to 2006, using matching comparisons to examine the extent to which individuals with similar human capital characteristics earn different wages. Three sub-periods are considered: 1994-1998; 2000-2001; and 2002- 2006. The gaps dropped from the first to the second period but remained almost unchanged between the second and the third. The gender wage gap remains largely unexplained after controlling for different combinations of socio-demographics and job-related characteristics, reaching between 13 and 23 percent of average female wages. That gap is lower at the middle of the wage distributions than the extremes, possibly due to a gender-equalizing effect of the minimum wage. Moreover, the gap is more pronounced for low-productivity workers and those who need flexibility to participate in labor markets. This suggests that policy interventions in the form of labor market regulations may have little impact on reducing gender wage gaps.

Abstract:
For most Caribbean countries, the COVID-19 pandemic will translate into the deepest single-year contraction of real GDP on record in 2020. With the exception of Guyana, countries have experienced deep recessions, severe increases in unemployment, and long-lasting damage to many corporate and household balance sheets. The social consequences of the crisis continue to mount, and despite governments best efforts to buffer the shock to families, enterprises, and domestic markets, there remains a dire need for continued and more broad-based stimulus to ensure that economic capital both human and other wise remains intact. This edition of the Caribbean Quarterly Bulletin briefly reflects on notable economic developments in 2020, then shifts to longer-term issues, including a summary of an upcoming IDB publication, Economic Institutions for a Resilient Caribbean, as well as summaries of the book's key diagnostics and recommendations for each country. In some cases, country sections focus on specific areas of institutional reforms. For example, the Suriname section focuses on fiscal institutions, given the public debt distress there.

Abstract:
The seabed of Halifax Harbour contains a variety of features that can be classified into natural and anthropogenic features. Natural features are formed by nature and consist of bedforms such as sand waves, sedimentary furrows, boulder berms, moraines, pockmarks, etc. Anthropogenic features are those formed by human activity and include anchor marks, cables, shipwrecks, dredge spoils, bridge and dock remains, etc. The anthropogenic imprint on the Harbour bottom is very dense, particularly in the inner Harbour, and makes the collection of natural unaffected seabed samples difficult. This poster illustrates and describes boulder berms, dredged areas and spoils, spud can marks, mining pits, and enigmatic gravel circles.

Full text
Abstract:
Cervical cancer, primarily caused by persistent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in developing countries. Although HPV vaccines are widely available in these regions, vaccine uptake remains persistently low. To address behavioral barriers contributing to this low demand, we evaluated the effectiveness of a behaviorally informed SMS campaign targeting parents in Cali, Colombia. Our study included 15,231 parents, who were randomized into six groups: control, placebo, and four behaviorally informed treatment groups, forming a large-scale study of text-based nudges. Participants received tailored messages over eight weeks. The intervention yielded significant increases in vaccination rates, with improvements ranging from 34% to 55%. Furthermore, the economic analysis demonstrated that the intervention generated between USD 3.6 and USD 5.75 in economic benefits for every dollar spent, primarily due to prevented deaths. These findings underscore the potential of behavioral interventions in enhancing HPV vaccination rates among parents and emphasize the cost-effectiveness and relative success of each intervention strategy. This study provides actionable insights for public health officials to design targeted strategies that address vaccination disparities and promote preventive healthcare practices.
