This study suggests a new one-step fluorescent cyanoacylate-fuming method for developing fingerprints by using a CAB mixed with dimethylaminobenzalde (DMAB) and cyanoacylate (CA) in a specific ratio. CAB is prepared by mixing 2.5 % (w/w) DMAB with CA and fumigated at 180 ℃. Under these conditions, developing fingerprints showed the best results. The fuming method using CAB develops latent fingerprints into fluorescence and has a higher sensitivity than CA, and it showed comparable or better contrast to existing fluorescence enhancement methods. It was also applicable on a variety of non-porous surfaces that can be encountered at ordinary times. This method is more useful than conventional fluorescent dyeing methods in that it minimizes damage to fingerprints or samples, makes it easy to manufacture, saves time, and can use existing current equipment as it is.

The records of 255 cyanide poisoning deaths obtained from National Forensic Service (NFS) headquarters, located in Seoul of Korea, from 2005 to 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age was $41.88{\pm}13.09$ and range was 6~80 years (unknown in seven cases). The number of deaths of males and females were 200 and 53, respectively (unknown in two cases). The largest number of cases occurred in people aged 40-49 years (81 cases, 31.8%), followed by the age groups 30~39 years (51 cases, 20%), 50~59 years (44 cases, 17.2%) and 20~29 years (43 cases, 16.9%). The total number of deaths among other age groups (below 10, 10~19, 60~69, 70~79, over 80 years and unknown) were 36, representing only 14.1%. Of all cyanide poisoning deaths, 97.3% were due to suicide, and 14.5% of the total number who died received medical treatment. The most frequent site for ingestion was the person's own residence (120 cases, 47.1%) and the route of administration was mainly oral (252, 98.8%). From the total of 255 cyanide poisoning cases, white powders were submitted for analysis in 92 cases. Potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide occupied 51 and 41 cases, respectively. This study showed that poisoning deaths due to cyanide are one of the continuously reported public health problems in Korea. Enforcement of regulations and safety education to prevent cyanide poisoning should be carried out by the government.

2009년 11월 14일 발생한 부산 실내사격장 화재와 관련하여 조사내용을 토대로 화재 시뮬레이션용 전선유체역학 모델인 FDS를 이용하여 재현하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과와 화재당시 녹화된 CCTV 영상을 비교하였다. 2층 발사실에서 시작된 화재는 급격히 연소가 진행되어 약 3초 후에 휴게실로 확산되며, 약 7초 후에는 계단 및 1층 홀을 지나 사람들이 통행하는 인도에까지 연기가 분출되는 것으로 나타났다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 2층 발사실과 휴게실에 녹화된 CCTV 영상 및 1층 홀 옆의 귀금속가게에 녹화된 CCTV 영상과 거의 일치하였다.

The purpose of this study was to develop forensic science program for the improvement of scientific creative problem-solving abilities in gifted elementary-school students. A program that consists of six sessions (18 hours) is developed in accordance with the CPS model, which has been already proven effective for the improvement of creative problem-solving abilities. This program was applied to sixth-grade 18 gifted students in an elementary school in Gyeonggi province. Examinations of scientific creative problem-solving abilities were performed before and after applying the program in order to determine its effect on gifted elementary students. A qualitative analysis of students' activity sheets, peer assessment and teacher's class journal was made in order to examine the process of improvement of students' scientific creative problem-solving abilities. The results of this study are as follows: First, forensic science program to enhance the scientific creative problem-solving abilities of gifted students was developed. Second, forensic science program is significantly effective in the improvement of scientific creative problem-solving abilities of gifted children of elementary school (p<.05). Third, in early stage of the class, a student, who showed the highest range of change in pre and post tests, revealed the trend of responding in a short answer type. In the late stage of the class, he revealed the capability of producing various creative ideas promptly. On the other hand, students belonging to the upper group of both pre and post test revealed the improvement of divergent thinking skills such as fluency, flexibility, and originality. Fourth, after class, the students responded that the forensic science program developed in this study intrigued the interests and curiosities, and helped them break away from fixed ideas.

범죄 현장에서 혈액을 찾아 식별하는 것은 신원 확인 및 사건 재구성을 하기 위해 중요한 과정이다. 하지만, 혈액은 어둡거나 다양한 색상의 표면에서 육안으로 관찰하기 어려울 수 있다. Acidic hydrogen peroxide (AHP)는 최근에 발표된 혈액 증강 시약으로, 카메라의 장노출 기능을 사용하면 혈액을 높은 감도로 관찰할 수 있다. 그러나 어둡거나 다양한 색상의 표면에서 기존에 알려진 기법과 비교된 바는 없다. 이를 위해, 어둡거나 다양한 색상의 표면 8 종류에 혈흔족적을 남기고 UV나 IR을 비추면서 관찰/촬영하는 방법, alginate 전사법, leuco rhodamine 6G (LR6G), AHP를 적용하여 비교하였다. 그 결과, AHP는 UV 및 IR 촬영법보다 증강한 혈액과 표면의 contrast가 높았고, alginate 전사법과 달리 모든 표면에서 적용이 가능했다. 또한 LR6G와 마찬가지로 AHP 역시 어둡거나 다양한 색상의 표면에 부착된 혈액을 성공적으로 증강하였다.

법과학 분야에서 다양한 Y-STR 분석 키트가 개발되어 사용되고 있고, 새로운 키트의 법과학적 적용에 앞서 DNA 감정에 적절한 분석 키트들의 선정과 표준작업절차서의 작성을 위해 실험실 내의 내부적 유효성 검증 및 민감도 시험은 필수적인 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 상업용 키트인 Yfiler^® PLUS PCR Amplification Kit (Yfiler plus 키트, 2014년 출시)를 AmpF/STR^® Yfiler^TM PCR Amplification Kit (Yfiler 키트, 2004년 출시)와 비교함으로써 민감도에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. Yfiler plus 키트는 Yfiler 키트의 17 개 Y-STR 좌위를 포함하면서 새로운 10 개의 Y-STR 좌위가 추가되었다. 먼저, 표준 DNA 시료인 2800M, 007을 이용하여 두 키트 간의 민감도 차이를 분석하였고, 선별된 0.5 ng 미만의 법과학 현장시료 16 개로부터 검출률을 비교하였다. 그 결과, Yfiler 키트보다 Yfiler plus 키트가 높은 민감도와 검출률을 보였고, 더 많은 좌위에서 Y-STR 프로필을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 낮은 농도의 법과학 현장시료에서 Yfiler plus 키트가 Y-STR 프로필을 검출하는데 더욱 효과적인 분석키트임이 확인되었다.

An analytical methodology based on solid-space extraction (SPE) with with Bond Elut Certify cartridge (Varian, 130 mg) has been developed for the qualification and quantitation of strychnine in blood. After the elution layer was evaporated, the residue was reconstituted with methanol for GC/MS. Internal standard was used 10 mg/l dextromethorphan. Strychnine is a potent central nervous stimulant and convulsant, and an alkaloid found in seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica. It was used therapeutically to improve circulation and muscle tone in oral or intramuscular doses of 0.05~8 mg. The fatal dose of strychnine for humans is 50~100 mg. A man was found dead lying curled up the corner of the large room in a roof house after the fire fighter opened a locked door inside to put out the fire. The postmortem blood and gastric contents were analyzed for toxicological testing. Strychnine and brucine were detected using GC/MS first in gastric contents extracts. The contents of strychnine was 0.083 mg/l in heart blood, 0.088 mg/l in peripheral blood and 4.0 mg/kg in gastric contents, respectively. Method validation was carried out in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision (intraday, interday) in blood. The assay is linear over 0.05~10 mg/l ($r^2$=0.999). Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) in blood were determined 0.02 mg/l (S/N=3) and 0.07 mg/l (S/N=10), respectively. Accuracy (bias%) of strychnine with 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/l was 12.0% (n=6), 9.3% (n=6) and 6.9% (n=6), respectively. Intraday precision (CV%) of strychnine with, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/l were 6.4%, 10.4%, 1.2% (n=6), respectively. Interday precision (CV%) of strychnine with 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/l over three days were 24.0%, 18.5%, 13.8% (n=18), respectively. Relative recovery with 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/l (in blood) were 114.9%, 99.3% and 87.4% (n=6), respectively. The described method can be applied in forensic toxicology to determine strychnine in blood samples.
