“…I pochi studi riguardanti la casistica di cadaveri sconosciuti evidenziano che in media un terzo di tutti i casi riguarda cadaveri carbonizzati o corpi in avanzato stato di decomposizione, con evidenti limiti per la diagnosi di razza [4]. Questo signifi ca che la stima dell'età in tali casi risulta mancante dell'informazione riguardante l'effi cienza e l'affi dabilità degli specifi ci metodi scheletrici e dentari in relazione alle variabili etniche.…”

“…In the case of unknown deceased, for example, the specifi c ethnic group the subject belongs to can only be hypothesised, and if the corpse is badly preserved, even the main race can be defi ned only with diffi culty.

This means that age assessment is generally deprived of the information concerning the effi ciency and reliability shown by skeletal and odontological methods in relation to ethnic variables.…”

Problem statement: Management model on indentified corpses in charity organizations of Chinese-Thai people was consisted of committee members from various agencies to manage in overall and to solve all occurred problems. Approach: This study proposed the study on model of cremation management on unidentified corpses in charity organizations of Chinese-Thai people. The study was a research and development by using processes of qualitative research. Population and samples were operators in charity organizations and general people, who participated in activities of Chinese-Thai people charity organizations, in 3 provinces as Nakhon Ratchasima, Nakhon Nayok and Chon Buri, Thailand. Observation form, survey form, interview form, focus group discussion and workshop were used as research tools while data was analyzed by descriptive research. Results: Management on cremation of unidentified corpses should be assigned in form of a group of committees to take responsibility for each division. Forensic Medicine Division was an important division for establishing justice and accuracy. Outsourcing was used to recruit persons for each division that would be provided all relatives of those unidentified corpses with trustworthiness. Management on unidentified would be successful with big charities by continuous operation of Public Relation Division. Due to long duration of Graveyard Big Cleaning Ceremony, at least 30-100 days, public relation should be continually operated. Finally, General Donation Division was supported budgets form members of charity network and general donators. Appointment of responsible persons, therefore, should be selected from those who had their honesties. Operating Division had responsibilities on facilitating, coordinating, understanding, controlling and managing conveniences for all divisions on the same direction. Volunteer and Workforce Division needed to have personnel with sacrifice and made merits for public even without any welfares. They should have their awareness on public responsibilities. Ceremony Division needed to have personnel with knowledge, competences and understanding in various rites in accordance with correct traditional and believes. Information database (database on cremation management) and lawyers were needed to ensure operators, to protect legal rights of unidentified corpses and their relations. Conclusion/Recommendations: New model of cremation management on unidentified corpses in charity organizations of Chinese-Thai people was integration between old and new model. This new model also maintained the old one because changing of human believes had to spend for long time and sometime could not change anything although having a new model with rapid management. This came from effects of old believes, rites and traditions.

Vários estudos apontam que vítimas de mortes violentas, como homicídio, são mais propensas a terem tatuagens 4,5,8 .…”

analyzed. Of the 22,746 autopsy reports analyzed, 23% had at least one tattoo. The highest prevalence of tattoos was observed in young and unmarried male adults. The average number of tattoos was 3. Tattoos of themes related to memory and homage were the most prevalent. There was a significant difference between the presence of a tattoo and the occurrence of death due to violent causes. There was a correlation between tattoos subclassified as "Clown", "Prayer: Our Father" and "Felines" and violent death. There was also a statistical relationship between the occurrence of violent death with tattoos categorized as "Sports and Games". There was a higher prevalence of positive toxicological tests among the tattooed, with cocaine being the most commonly found drug. The occurrence of positive tests for alcohol content was also higher among the tattooed. The data from this study do not allow to clarify whether tattoos can be considered a direct risk factor
