Navigating medicine and justice: A life history and phenomenological study of forensic...
Forensic doctors play a crucial role at the intersection of medicine and law, offering expertise in legal matters. However, their work exposes them to significant emotional and psychological stress, increasing the risk of burnout. Despite the critical nature of their profession, ...
Standardized measurement of surface dry particle thickness for walkway slip resistance
Slip and fall incidents remain a critical safety concern in residential and occupational settings. While considerable research has focused on wet contamination, the role of dry contaminants in reducing floor friction has been less explored. This study establishes a standardized m...
Development and validation of a combined selected ion monitoring‐scan GC‐EI‐MS method for...
Novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) emerged during the third wave of the opioid epidemic, which has resulted in countless overdose deaths. Although fentanyl and fentanyl analogs are the most common NSOs, changing legislation in China and the United States led to the emergence of anoth...
Crossbow impact effect on clothing and potential associated injuries
There has been an increase in crossbow use for hunting practices, sport target shooting, and criminal activity. In the UK, there is minimal legislation surrounding the crossbow. UK law states individuals must be over 18 to buy or possess a crossbow. To date, little experimental r...
Influence of anticoagulant on the spectroscopic analysis of drying bovine blood pools
Rapidly, untreated whole blood undergoes a clotting cascade, making forensic research that investigates "fresh" bloodletting events difficult. In bloodstain pattern analysis research, whole blood treated with anticoagulant is often used to prolong the usability of the b...
Measuring factors associated with identification thresholds in fingerprint analysts
The goal of this research is to measure and identify factors associated with identification thresholds in fingerprint analysts. Conclusions reached in friction ridge comparisons require the application of individual thresholds. While previous studies have investigated the mechani...
An analysis of firearm legality and lethality in 625 U.S.‐based mass murders involving...
Understanding the relationship between firearm regulations and the lethality of mass murder involving firearms has implications for prevention efforts. We examined 625 incidents of mass murder involving firearms that occurred in the United States between 1900 and 2023. The string...
Comparison of culture‐dependent and ‐independent methods for effective post‐mortem...
The aim of this study was to compare culture‐dependent and ‐independent methods in microbial community analysis with a focus on post‐mortem microbiomes, particularly in forensic contexts. By utilizing full‐length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment, w...
