Tibia Length

The estimation of stature from bones plays an important role in identifying unknown bodies, body parts, or skeletal remains, as it is an important component of the biological profile in forensic identification. The objective of this study is to enhance the development of forensic anthropology in Romania by creating a new regression formula for stature estimation. This can be accomplished from the length of the tibia, taking into account sex and age, for the Romanian adult population. A total of 137 cases from a delimited territory of Romania were included in the study. The length of the tibia and the stature of the individuals were measured before autopsy. Statistical analysis was carried using (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) SPSS 23. Tibia length showed a high correlation with stature for males, females, and the total sample. Four regression formulae were created for stature estimation of Romanian males, females, and unknown sex. The results of the analysis are impressive and have a good applicability in a forensic anthropological context. The data used in this paper provide reliable results with a large applicability in the future for estimating stature from the tibia length for the Romanian adult population.

Abstract: Forensic identification is a method to provide assistance for investigators in personal identification which is very important in court. Forensic anthropology is a branch of physical anthropology that assists medical forensic practice by focusing on individual biological profile asessment and reconstruction by using anthropometry. Body height is a parameter of human growth and health. In forensic anthropology, height is also a main biological profile in identification. Foot length can be used to determine body height since there is a correlation between these two biological profiles. This study aimed to obtain the relationship between foot length and body height. This was a quantitative analytical study. Subjects were students of batch 2012 of Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado, aged >21 years. The results showed that there was a positive correlation (r= 0.539) with a probablity value of 0.000. Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between foot length and height. Keywords: forensic identification, forensic anthropology, anthropometry Abstrak: Identifikasi forensik merupakan upaya yang bertujuan membantu penyidik dalam menentukan identitas seseorang yang sangat penting dalam peradilan.

Objectives: Assault induced trauma (AIT) is a public health concern that must be addressed and acknowledged. To our knowledge, in Oman, this issue has not been studied before. This study aims to characterize cases of AIT presenting to Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH). Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of patients presenting with AIT to the emergency department of SQUH fromthe 1 January 2007 to the 31 of December 2018. Data obtained included incidence, patients’ demographics, mode of assault, triaging, management and hospital stay. The data were collected using the Hospital Information System “TrakCare” and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The total cases of AIT identified were 268 cases and 239 fulfilled the study criteria. The highest incidence recorded was in 2018 accounting for 72 cases. The sample was predominantly composed of males at 81%, and 58% of the total cases were Omani citizens. In addition, 66% of the total sample were between the age of 20 and 39. The most common mode of assault implicated was the use ofbodily force (35%).Additionally, 18% were triaged as red cases. In terms of management, 84% of the cohort were treated non-surgically. No incidence of in-patient mortality was recorded. Conclusion: This is the first study that looked into AIT in Oman. Results of this study will aid in providing basis for future research and estimation of the magnitude of this problem in the community.

Abstract: Forensic identification is a method to provide assistance for investigators in fulfilling visum et repertum requests and to identify death bodies. Forensic anthropology assists the process of visum et repertum. Forensic anthropology is the application of physical anthropology science inter alia by using anthropometry; certain body parts are measured. Body height is one of the major point in identification and in forensic anthropology, body height is one of the main biological profiles. Head height can be used to determine body height because there is a significant correlation between these two biological profiles. This study aimed to obtain the relationship between head height and body height. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Subjects were students of batch 2012 of Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado, aged 21-22 years. The results showed a positive correlation r= 0.691 with a probablity value of 0.000.

Descriptive Statistical Analysis

The American National Institute of Mental Health announced that 10% of the total adult population has some kind of phobia. With the appearance of the COVID - 19 infection, and the huge consequences it left behind, there is a growing fear of people deciding to travel. There is a growing fear of infection after a year, but also a fear of lack of money, at a time when protection measures have destroyed tourism and hospitality. About 6,000 experts, including many scientists from the UK, say Covid measures are physically and mentally harmful to health, as well as to the social environment and the economy. The authors of the paper conducted an online research on the degree of strength of two types of fear that potentially influence the decision to travel. The research was conducted during 2020, on a total sample of 250 respondents. Confirming the reliability of the questionnaire, the obtained results were processed in the software SPSS, 23.00. Descriptive statistical analysis, and multiple regression analysis, confirmed the hypothesis that fears are present in all respondents, and that both types of fears are important in predicting and making travel decisions.

Macroeconomic Determinants

The aim of this research was to study the determinants of automobile sales in Indonesia. The automobile sales were the sales of car and motorcycle during 1986-2016. The research focused on five macroeconomics variables (exchange rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), growth of GDP, inflation, and interest rate). The total sample was 30 years of automobile sales in Indonesia. The researcher used the regression method with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to test the research model. For a few variables, lag t-1 was used. The empirical results show that GDP and the growth of GDP have a significant influence on both car and motorcycle sales in Indonesia. The growth of GDP reaches a significant level at α < 1%. However, the exchange rate of USD to IDR, inflation, and interest rate do not influence automobile sales in Indonesia.

Abstract As an institution of higher learning, the New School for Social Research was widely regarded as unorthodox. From its inception in 1919, its guiding principle was freedom: freedom of opinion, of teaching, of research, of publication. Initially focusing on the social sciences, by 1927 it introduced music as a significant part of that program. The School's social science perspective, its educational unorthodoxies, and its liberal philosophical ideals set a distinctive tone, nurturing an unfettered and accepting haven for a progressive community of musical personalities. Most prominent among them stood Henry Cowell, but Paul Rosenfeld, Aaron Copland, Charles Seeger, and others also contributed to the vitality of the School. From 1927 until 1933, Cowell presided over a program of lectures, concerts, symposia, and workshops dedicated to the cause of contemporary American music. In view of the School's adult population, music was treated primarily as an intellectual and cultural pursuit that stimulated new spheres of musical inquiry. At the same time, the influence of the social sciences encouraged the study of music through the political and social lens of culture. The diversity and singularity of these approaches created a new context for music and a significant contribution to the history of US musical culture.

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
