In forensic genetics, when it is not possible to confirm an individual's identity through STR profile analysis, additional information about the individual can be obtained using DNA-based phenotypic traits estimation. Recently, various researches have been conducted on methods to determine externally visible characteristics (EVC) such as eyes, hair, and skin color. However, relying solely on such phenotypic traits information has limitations for application in East Asian regions, including Korea. In this study, in order to utilize EVC related to an individual's appearance as investigative information, SNPs related to eye shape, hair thickness, skin color, as well as baldness, body type, high myopia, facial shape, acne, and behavioral habits were explored. A total of 50 SNPs were selected, and a targeted amplicon NGS panel capable of amplifying them all at once was developed. Experimental results confirmed the allelic types and frequencies of the 50 SNPs in 14 samples. We plan to use this panel to investigate the correlation between genotype and phenotype using various samples, and to develop methods for interpreting the results.

This study explores the way of prescribing the ethic of science in korean society in the 2004 ethical debates about 'Hwang woo-suk' embryo stem-cell study. It is the process of ethical communication. The debate includes very sensitive problem such as ovum and embryo, which is related directly with life. Particularly, this issue has many implications as there was a wild enthusiasm of patriotism in Korean society after had published Prof. Hwang's paper. This case shows dramatically the formation of ethical attitude in our society. There were included many actor's desire, interest, and conflicts. This study analyzes the process of competition to seize the initiative of the definition of ethics. It includes patriotic discourse, competition of rhetorics. This ethical communication involves the making of 'star scientist', Hwang woo-suk. In consequence, the ethics has been marginalized and stigmatized as anti-science on the stage of star scientist. This study argues ethics is not a fixed thing, it is construction of competition.

In Korea, all investigations of maritime crime such as murder, robbery, drug trafficking, and illegal fishing that have been committed at sea are under the jurisdiction of maritime police. As maritime crimes tend to have more unique cases, cause damage on a larger scale, and be limited to evidence that is possibly contaminated, compared to non-maritime crimes, the cases demand maritime police investigators with a higher level of expertise. However, there is currently a lack of competent investigators in the maritime police, leading to the training of maritime police investigators in training agencies. so many of maritime investigators goes to land police training agency including Korean Police Investigation Academy. Therefore, in order to improve the capabilities of maritime crime investigation we must first gather information and data in relation to maritime crimes to foster more investigation specialists, and establish specialized training agencies offering a training course more focused on maritime crimes.

본 논문은 고출력 LED를 이용하여 대한민국 경찰청 및 지방경찰청 과학수사에 사용하는 지문감식을 위한 효과적인 휴대용 교광원에 관한 연구이다. 최근 광반도체(光半導體) 관련 형광물질 등 원천기술의 획기적인 R&D가 진행 중에 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 산업체는 물론 생활주변에 사용되는 핸드폰 백라이트, LED 평면광원, 가로등용 LED광원, 오징어잡이에 사용되는 집어용 LED, OLED, CNT 광원 등에 적용되는 기술을 광학적 논리를 근거로 하여 고고학에 적용되는 문화재, 미술품의 진품감정, 지문현출을 통한 지문감식 등에 적용하기 위한 연구이다. 미국 유럽 남미 등에서 개발하여 과학수사에 사용하고 있는 교광원은 기동성 및 휴대하기에 매우 무겁고 고가이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 LED 신광원 UV 파장을 이용하여 지문현출 및 지문감식 등에 적용하면 소형경량화가 가능하여 무게와 부피를 급감할 수 있으며, 휴대가 간편하여 기동성이 뛰어나고 신속정확하게 매우 효과적으로 감정 및 감식이 가능하여 그 기대 효과가 매우 우수하다. 이러한 장점을 조명공학 및 광학적 이론을 근거로 지속적인 연구개발을 추진하여 국산화된 세계적인 신제품 개발을 위해 타당성을 검토 고찰하였다.

We investigated event-related potentials (ERPs) to estimate the accuracy of eyewitness memories. Participants watched videos of vehicles being driven dangerously, from an anti-impaired driving initiative. The four-letter license plates of the vehicles were the target stimuli. Random numbers were presented while participants attempted to identify the license plate letters, and electroencephalograms were recorded. There was a significant difference in activity 300-500 milliseconds after stimulus onset, between target stimuli and random numbers. This finding contributes to establishing an eyewitness recognition model where different ERP components may reflect more explicit memory that is dissociable from recollection.

이벤트 로그(Event Log)는 윈도우 운영체제에서 시스템 로그를 기록하는 형식으로 시스템 운영에 대한 정보를 체계적으로 관리한다. 이벤트는 시스템 자체 또는 사용자의 특정 행위로 인해 발생할 수 있고, 그러한 이벤트 로그는 시스템의 시작과 종료뿐만 아니라 기업 보안 감사, 악성코드 탐지 등 행위의 근거로 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 PC 종료 관련 실험을 통해 이벤트 로그와 ID를 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 통해 PC의 정상 및 비정상 종료 여부를 판단하여, 현장 압수·수색 시 해당 저장매체에 대해 선별압수·매체압수의 해당 여부 식별이 가능하다. 본 연구는 현장수사관이 디지털증거 압수·수색 시 절차적 적법성과 증거능력 확보의 근거 활용에 기여할 수 있다.

Glass is frequently encountered as types of materials that are submitted to forensic science laboratories as a result of trace evidence transfers. The repeatability and the reproducibility of trace element analysis were presented. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on laser ablation inductively coupled plasma spectrometric analyses of the fragments to identify the source. Pairwise comparisons were completed for all samples. In a pairwise comparison, each sample was compared to each other for a possible [n(n-1)/2] (n : numbers of the samples) total comparison to associate/discriminate samples using Tukey's HSD method. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of LA-ICP-MS for multi-element analysis of forensic samples. The 12 glass fragments from two manufacturers were collected and analyzed to identify the source. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on 31 elements in NIST 612 Trace elements in Glass. Elements were classified into four categories defined by the combination of precision and variation of inter-samples. We selected 11 elements, 209Bi, 90Zr, 121Sb, 178Hf, 59Co, 238U, 208Pb, 140Ce, 118Sn, 49Ti and 137Ba. 6 pairs out of 66 possible pairs were not distinguished when compared by 137Ba (p<0.05). However, all samples were distinguished using both 49Ti and 137Ba (p<0.05). In conclusion, multi-elemental analysis with LA-ICP-MS is a potential tecnique for the discrimination of forensic samples.
