데이터베이스의 삭제된 데이터 복구와 관련된 그간의 연구는 삭제된 레코드가 트랜잭션 로그에 존재하는 경우이거나 데이터베이스 원본을 물리적 방식으로 수집하여 삭제 데이터의 탐지와 복구를 진행하는 방식이 주를 이루었다. 그러나 트랜잭션 로그가 존재하지 않거나 증거수집 현장에서 물리적 방식의 원본수집이 불가능한 경우 즉, 데이터베이스 서버 정지로 인해 피압수인이 업무상 손실 또는 권리침해를 이유로 거부하는 경우에는 적용하기 곤란한 한계가 있었다. 그러므로 증거수집 현장의 제약을 대비하기 위해 다양한 수집 방식을 살펴보고 이에 따른 삭제된 레코드의 복구 가능성에 대해서 확인해볼 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 Microsoft SQL Server 데이터베이스를 대상으로 하는 디지털포렌식 조사 시 원본 수집의 논리적 물리적 방식별로 수집된 원본 파일 내 삭제된 데이터의 잔존 여부를 실험하여 각 수집 방식에 따른 데이터 복구 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 음주 후 시간경과에 따른 혈중알코올농도 변화의 재현성을 실험하였다. 5명의 한국인 자원자에게 22%(v/v) 소주 한병(ethyl alcohol로 환산했을 경우 55.5 g)을 30분 안에 나눠 마시게 하는 실험을 5회 반복하였다. 자원자들에게는 안주로 회와 탕수육을 교대로 제공하였다. 알코올 섭취량과 섭취시간을 일정하게 유지했음에도 불구하고 혈중알코올농도가 최고에 이르는 시간과 그 때의 농도 및 시간경과에 따른 혈중알코올농도의 감소율은 사람에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한 안주에 따라서도 시간 변화에 따른 혈중알코올농도 변화곡선이 달라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 동일인에게 5회에 걸쳐 각기 다른 날 동일한 조건으로 음주하게 한 후 혈중알코올농도 변화곡선을 관찰한 결과, 시간경과에 따른 혈중알코올농도변화는 재현성이 없이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 특정 시간대의 혈중알코올농도를 정확하게 역추정하는 것은 불가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this parasitological study is examining contemporary (the late 20th century) specimens of the arctic or subarctic areas in Western Siberia and comparing them with the information acquired from archaeological samples from the same area. In the contemporary specimens, we observed the parasite eggs of 3 different species: Opisthochis felineus, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Enterobius vermicularis. Meanwhile, in archaeoparasitological results of Vesakoyakha, Kikki-Akki, and Nyamboyto I burial grounds, the eggs of Diphyllobothrium and Taenia spp. were found while no nematode (soil-transmitted) eggs were observed in the same samples. In this study, we concluded helminth infection pattern among the arctic and subarctic peoples of Western Siberia throughout history as follows: the raw fish-eating tradition did not undergo radical change in the area at least since the 18th century; and A. lumbricoides or E. vermicularis did not infect the inhabitants of this area before 20th century. With respect to the Western Siberia, we caught glimpse of the parasite infection pattern prevalent therein via investigations on contemporary and archaeoparasitological specimens.

An archaeoparasitological analysis of the soil samples from Nadym Gorodok site of Western Siberia has been carried out in this study. The archaeological site was dated as the 13 to 18th century, being characterized as permafrost region ensuring good preservation of ancient parasite eggs. Parasite eggs as Opisthorchis felineus, Alaria alata, and Diphyllobothrium sp. were found in the archaeological soil samples, which made clear about the detailed aspects of Nadym Gorodok people's life. We found the Diphyllobothrium sp. eggs throughout the 14 to 18th century specimens, allowing us to presume that raw or undercooked fish might have been commonly used for the foods of Nadym Gorodok inhabitants and their dogs for at least the past 400 years. Our study on Nadym Gorodok specimens also demonstrate that there might have been migratory interactions and strong economic ties between the people and society in Western Siberia, based on archaeoparasitological results of Opisthorchis felineus in Western Siberia.

Tartrazine (TAZ) is one of the most commonly used artificial dyes for foods and drugs. We determined the effect of TAZ on fetal development by examining morphological, visceral, and skeletal malformations in rat fetuses following daily oral administration of TAZ to pregnant Wistar rats at the 6th-15th day of gestation. TAZ at 0.45 and 4.5 mg/kg induced 6.0 and 7.1% fetal resorptions, as well as 10.0 and 10.5% fetal mortality, respectively. Fetal body weight and length were significantly lower in the groups treated with TAZ at 0.45 ($3.97{\pm}0.21g$ and $27.3{\pm}0.54mm$, respectively) and 4.5 mg/kg ($3.48{\pm}0.15g$ and $23.22{\pm}1.02mm$, respectively) than in the control group ($4.0{\pm}0.15g$ and $30.01{\pm}0.42mm$, respectively). TAZ at 0.45 and 4.5 mg/kg induced hepatic damage (20 and 33.3%, respectively), dark brown pigmentation due to hemosiderin in the splenic parenchyma (16.7 and 21.7%, respectively), as well as destructed and necrotic renal tubules (16.7 and 26.7%, respectively) in the fetuses. Moreover, TAZ at 0.45 and 4.5 mg/kg caused one or more missing coccygeal vertebrae (20 and 40%, respectively), missing sternebrae (6 and 10%, respectively), missing hind limbs (24 and 4%, respectively), and irregular ribs (16 and 20, respectively) in the fetuses. We concluded that TAZ has embryotoxic and teratogenic potentials in rats.

Purpose: The prevalence of supernumerary teeth has been reported to be between 0.1% and 3.8%. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, clinical significance, and associated pathologies of fourth molars based on a retrospective study and a literature review. Materials and Methods: A 5-year retrospective prevalence study was conducted at the Department of Oral Diagnosis and Dentomaxillofacial Radiology of Okayama University Hospital, Okayama, Japan. The study involved extracting data from the digital records of patients from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017. The sampling frame included all patients who had panoramic radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography (CT), and multislice CT images during the period under review. Results: A total of 26,721 cases were reviewed and 87 fourth molars were identified. The prevalence of fourth molars in the 5-year study at Okayama was calculated as 0.32%. The mean age of patients with a fourth molar was 30.43 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1:0.98. The vast majority of cases were in the maxilla (92%) and had normal shapes(89.7%); furthermore, 82.8% of cases were unerupted. Conclusion: The prevalence of fourth molars in the study population was found to be 0.32%, and fourth molars occurred with approximately equal frequency in males and females. Fourth molars were more common in the maxilla and were predominantly unerupted and small.

We developed a bioanalytical method for simultaneous determination of nine NBOMe derivatives (25H-NBOMe, 25B-NBOMe, 25E-NBOMe, 25N-NBOMe, 25C-NBOH, 25I-NBOH, 25B-NBF, 25C-NBF, and 25I-NBF) in human plasma using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Human plasma samples were pre-treated using solid-phase extraction. Separation was achieved on a C18 column under gradient elution using a mobile phase containing 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Mass detection was performed in the positive ion mode using multiple reaction monitoring. The calibration range was 1-100 ng/mL for all quantitative analytes, with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy varied from 0.85 to 6.92% and from 90.19 to 108.69%, respectively. The recovery ranged from 86.36 to 118.52%, and the matrix effects ranged from 27.09 to 99.72%. The stability was acceptable in various conditions. The LC-MS/MS method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, matrix effects, recovery and stability in accordance with the FDA guidance. The proposed method is suitable for reliable and robust routine screening and analysis of nine NBOMe derivatives in forensic field.

Purpose: The mastoid region is ideal for studying sexual dimorphism due to its anatomical position at the base of the skull. This study aimed to determine sex in the Iranian population based on measurements of the mastoid process using different data mining algorithms. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 190 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of 105 women and 85 men between the ages of 18 and 70 years. On each CBCT scan, the following 9 landmarks were measured: the distance between the porion and the mastoidale; the mastoid length, height, and width; the distance between the mastoidale and the mastoid incision; the intermastoid distance (IMD); the distance between the lowest point of the mastoid triangle and the most prominent convex surface of the mastoid (MF); the distance between the most prominent convex mastoid point (IMSLD); and the intersecting angle drawn from the most prominent right and left mastoid point (MMCA). Several predictive models were constructed and their accuracy was compared using cross-validation. Results: The results of the t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the sexes in all variables except MF and MMCA. The random forest model, with an accuracy of 97.0%, had the best performance in predicting sex. The IMSLD and IMD made the largest contributions to predicting sex, while the MMCA variable had the least significant role. Conclusion: These results show the possibility of developing an accurate tool using data mining algorithms for sex determination in the forensic framework.

사후경과시간(PMI)을 추정하기 위하여 사용되고 있는 유효적산온도(ADD)를 계산하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 요인 중 하나는 바로 사건 현장의 대기 온도를 최대한 정확하게 추정하는 것이다. 지금까지 사건 현장의 대기 온도를 추정하는 방법으로는 사건이 일어난 현장 근처의 기상청 온도를 그대로 적용하거나, 보정 온도를 고려하여 사용하거나, 주변 기상청 온도와 사건 현장 대기 온도의 선형 회귀분석을 통해 과거 일정기간 동안의 현장 대기 온도를 추정하였다. 이 때, 온도 추정 방법에 따라 온도 추정값이 달라질 수 있으며, 측정 조건이나 온도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 풍량, 풍속, 습도, 강우량 등 환경 요인에 따라서도 추정값의 정확도가 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내의 환경 요인 및 측정 조건들을 대상으로 보다 다양한 온도 추정 방법들에 적용하여 과거 일정기간 동안의 현장 대기온도를 추정하고, 이렇게 추정된 온도와 실제 온도와의 비교를 통하여 국내 온도 추정에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다.

Purpose: Sex determination can be done by morphological analysis of different parts of the body. The mastoid region, with its anatomical location at the skull base, is ideal for sex identification. Statistical shape analysis provides a simultaneous comparison of geometric information on different shapes in terms of size and shape features. This study aimed to investigate the geometric morphometry of the inter-mastoid triangle as a tool for sex determination in the Iranian population. Materials and Methods: The coordinates of 5 landmarks on the mastoid process on the 80 cone-beam computed tomographic images(from individuals aged 17-70 years, 52.5% female) were registered and digitalized. The Cartesian x-y coordinates were acquired for all landmarks, and the shape information was extracted from the principal component scores of generalized Procrustes fit. The t-test was used to compare centroid size. Cross-validated discriminant analysis was used for sex determination. The significance level for all tests was set at 0.05. Results: There was a significant difference in the mastoid size and shape between males and females(P<0.05). The first 2 components of the Procrustes shape coordinates explained 91.3% of the shape variation between the sexes. The accuracy of the discriminant model for sex determination was 88.8%. Conclusion: The application of morphometric geometric techniques will significantly impact forensic studies by providing a comprehensive analysis of differences in biological forms. The results demonstrated that statistical shape analysis can be used as a powerful tool for sex determination based on a morphometric analysis of the inter-mastoid triangle.
