We examined how presentations of organ donation cases in the media may affect people’s decisions about organ donation issues. Specifically, we focused on the combined effect of the information about the number of recipients saved by the organs of one deceased person (one vs. four) and the identifiability of the donor and the recipient(s) in organ donation descriptions, on people’s willingness to donate the organs of a deceased relative. Results suggest that reading about more people who were saved by the organs of a deceased donor does not increase willingness to donate. Replicating earlier research, we found that reading about a case of organ donation involving an identified deceased donor, deceased willingness to donate. However, this effect was attenuated when participants read about more recipients who were saved by the donation. Importantly, the presentation that prompted the greatest willingness to donate a deceased relative’s organs was the one that featured an unidentified donor and only one identified recipient. Finally, an explorative investigation into participants’ subconscious thoughts of death following the organ donation story revealed that identifying a deceased organ donor prompts more thoughts of death in the perceiver (regardless of the number of recipients).

Although biological relationships are a universal reality for all human beings, the concepts of “family” and “family bond” depend on both the geographic region and the historical moment to which they refer. However, the concept of “family” can be determinant in a large variety of societies, since it can influence the lines of succession, inheritances and social relationships, as well as where and with whom an individual is buried. The relation between a deceased person and other members of a community, other individuals of the same necropolis, or even with those who are buried in the same tomb can be analysed from the genetic point of view, considering different perspectives: archaeological, historical, and forensic. In the present work, the concepts of “family” and “kinship” are discussed, explaining the relevance of genetic analysis, such as nuclear and lineage markers, and their contribution to genealogical research, for example in the heritage of surnames and Y-chromosome, as well as those cases where some discrepancies with historical record are detected, such as cases of adoption. Finally, we explain how genetic genealogical analyses can help to solve some cold cases, through the analysis of biologically related relatives.

Introduction. The paper considers the Mari clothing for funeral and memorial rituals, its specific features, and functions. The purpose of the research is to define a role and application that clothes have in ceremonies. Materials and Methods. As the research materials for the article, the author used ethnographic sources published in the XIX and early XX centuries, field journals by Tatyana Kryukova belonged to the Archive of the Russian Museum of Ethnography, as well as the author’s personal field research materials, collected during personal expeditionary activities in the Mari El Republic. The structural-functional and comparatively historical methods were the major methods for the research. The research materials were collected by means of participant observation and semi-structural interview methods. Results and Discussion. The Mari clothing during the funeral and memorial ceremonies marked two core functions, being represented by a costume of the deceased person and as an independent ritual object. Dressing the deceased person entailed a number of taboos whereas some clothes of the deceased were used to fill up the coffin. During the memorial rituals, the clothing of the deceased became a part of the «substitution» ritual when the role of the deceased was taken on by living people who were present at the ceremony. Apart from that, the clothing served as a present for the participants of the ceremony. Conclusion. A change of clothes in the lifecycle rituals marked a transfer of the clothes’ owner from one condition to another. A deceased person was a key figure during the funeral rite, while a change of his clothes facilitated their separation from the living ones. The costume itself was characterized by the inversion of the details and revealed its reference to wedding items. In the context of the memorial ceremonies, the clothing functioned as means of communication between a deceased and living ones, whereas its prolonged use accepted as a gift allowed maintaining the communication.

The discovery and study of real magnetic charges, as well as true anti-electrons in the structures of substance and their inclusion in basic physical concepts, allowed the author to establish that two physical images correspond to a person: a real human body, i.e., his mass composition (atoms, nucleons, etc.) and the spinor image in the form of its biofield, displayed in the Energo-medium (Energo-ether) that and is the physical Aura. The spinor image or Aura of person is not a simple “photograph” but represents a system of real physical states or fractals in the Energo-medium, which, at the cellular level, are connected with the human body and interact with it at all stages of its existence. It is the physical Aura that is responsible for all the power reactions manifested by the body, providing, for example, “force service” of the activity of the central and autonomic nervous system. The article shows the conditions for the transformation of the Aura into a dead state after the death of a person, and also notes some fractals in its composition that are able to maintain former vital reactions for some time. The external manifestations of such “long-lived” fractals of the Aura, meeting the conditions of identity with a deceased person, can be perceived by some sensitive people. It is the last circumstance that can explain the numerous observations of ghosts and images of deceased people, emerging both in a dream and in reality. At the same time, the ability to form the marked fractals is not an exclusive property of the Aura of dying or deceased people. Such fractals capable of emitting and the quite healthy people in some of life situations. These latter fractals in the surrounding space can be perceived by some people and showing in ordinary dreams.

This study explored the processes involved when the bereaved use Facebook to continue bonds with the deceased. Grounded theory was used to analyze Facebook pages and interviews with bereaved Facebook users. Individual attempts at connection, such as posting about the deceased person, were bolstered by others witnessing and replying to the posts. Collective reminiscence occurred through the sharing of memories about the deceased, which sometimes led to learning new things about them. These individual and collective processes helped to maintain and transform a connection with the deceased person, who for some participants was “still there” on Facebook.

Every human corpse is unique. There are different religions in different parts of the world which adopt a variety of ways to dispose of corpses. Dead bodies can be found unattended, dug up, mutilated by the perpetrators of crimes, and eaten by wild animals in lonely unattended places. In these situations, forensic anthropologists or anatomists are consulted by the state authorities to help them to provide justice to the deceased person. The first and foremost scientific information desired by authorities is identification of the corpse, cause of death of the human body and weapon used, if applicable. Identification can be done by studying the bones of the human corpse during autopsy examination and if unknown skeletal remains are all that is available, examination of each bone is required. Forensic anthropologists or pathologists are asked to identify race, sex and age as important parameters of the identification. In this chapter, we will enumerate various parameters for identification. We will discuss race, age and sex from various bones as part of forensic oesteology.

Abstract: This paper departs from the different concepts between grants and inheritance. A grant is a form of transfer of property from a person (grantor) to another person (grantee) which is carried out while the grantor is still alive with the maximum amount of 1/3 of the inheritance. The grantee may come not only from the grantor’s heir, but also from other party, whether a person or a legal person. While inheritance is the transfer of property from a deceased person to their heir with the provisions that have been stated in the Qur'an and hadith, and other applicable legislation. The descriptive method with normative judicial approach was applied to describe how grants might become one of resolutions for inheritance-related conflict. The research found that some part of community distributes inheritance while the testator is still alive in order to avoid dispute between heirs. This practice is based on custom or simply due to lack of knowledge on Islamic inheritance provision. It can be concluded that the inheritance may be distributed while the testator is still alive through the concept of grant, as long as there is an agreement between the heirs. Whenever a dispute occurs after the grantor deceased, the distributed assets can be withdrawn and taken into account as inheritance.Abstrak: Tulisan ini berangkat dari konsep yang berbeda antara hibah dengan waris. Hibah merupakan bentuk perpindahan harta dari seseorang (pemberi hibah) kepada orang lain (penerima hibah) ketika pemberi hibah masih hidup dengan batasan yang disepakati maksimal sampai 1/3 dari harta peninggalan. Penerima hibah tersebut tidak hanya ahli waris tetapi bisa orang lain baik secara perorangan maupun lembaga atau organisasi yang dilaksanakan. Sementara waris merupakan perpindahan harta dari orang yang sudah meninggal dunia kepada ahli waris dengan ketentuan yng sudah tercantum dalam al-Qur’an maupun hadist atau dalam ketentuan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Metode ynag digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode deskriftif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan hibah sebagai penyelesaian waris. Ditemukan dalam masyarakat bagaimana pembagian warisan dilakukan ketika si pewaris masih hidup. Adapun alasannya antara lain agar tidak terjadi sengketa diantara ahli waris, karena faktor pemahaman keagamaan masyarakat yang masih kurang terhadap kewarisan Islam, atau karena kebiasaan yang terjadi dimasyarakat. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penyelesaian waris bisa dilakukan dengan cara membaginya ketika pewaris masih hidup melalui konsep hibah, selama adanya kesepakatan diantara ahli waris. Jika terjadi sengketa setelah meninggalnya pemberi hibah, maka harta hibah yang diberikan ketika hidup dan dinilai sebagai warisan dapat ditarik kembali dan diperhitungkan sebagai warisan.

Teeth are the hardest substance of the body and the gatekeeper of the digestive tract. They can survive extreme environmental conditions and they are the last part of the body that is decomposed after death. With these unique features, teeth are often the only remaining body part of a deceased person in a criminal case. Teeth can help investigators to find out who a dead person is, how old the person was, if the person was male or female, what kind of daily habits and lifestyle a person had and how the person died. Thus, the examination of teeth plays a key role in crime scene investigations and can help solve crimes.
