background: construction work (building houses, roads, workplaces, and repairing and maintaining infrastructures) is a dangerous land-based job. this includes many hazardous tasks and conditions such as working at the following conditions: height, excavation, noise, dust, power tools and equipment. construction work has been increased in developed and underdeveloped countries over the past few ...

in many jurisdictions, psychiatric problems are intended for commutation. therefore, a forensic psychiatrist has an important role in detection of malingering. while several studies evaluate diagnostic tests, it is less known what symptoms are more likely to be imitated by malingerers.in a prospective study 45 malingerers, who were diagnosed according to interviews by two forensic psychiatrists...

Forensic science has been slow to develop as a recognised field of study. Over the past 30 years, analytical and forensic science have developed together; though the application of new analytical techniques in forensic work is retarded by the necessity of having methods of proven reliability. The many techniques now applied in forensic analysis—microscopy, spectroscopy of all types, x-ray analy...

Forensic analysis can help maintain the security of process control systems: identifying the root cause of a system compromise or failure is useful for mitigating current and future threats. However, forensic analysis of control systems is complicated by three factors. First, live analysis must not impact the performance and functionality of a control system. Second, the analysis should be perf...

background: dental techniques are frequently used in human identifi cation; some of those include comparative analyses of dental features that, being rare or unique to an individual, can establish a positive identifi cation. the usefulness of each feature depends on its population, frequency, and uniqueness. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of talon cusps in a portuguese po...

Computer system’s runtime information is an essential part of the digital evidence. Current digital forensic approaches mainly focus on memory and I/O data, while the runtime instructions from processes are often ignored. We present a novel approach on runtime instruction forensic analysis and have developed a forensic system which collects instruction flow and extracts digital evidence. The sy...
