INTEGRATED USE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF FORENSIC GENETIC EXAMINATION AND ACCOUNTING OF DNA DATA IN IDENTIFICATION OF UNIDENTIFIED CORPSES

In the work, the authors analyzed the experience of foreign countries (on the example of China, Great Britain, the USA, a number of European countries) in the formation and maintenance of national DNA databases, considered the use of the possibilities of forensic accounting of human genetic characteristics to solve the problems facing the investigating authorities.

STUDY OF BONE DENSITY ZONE STRUCTURE IN HUMAN JAW IN THE FIELD OF PERSONALITY IDENTIFICATION

Digital images of postmortem x-rays of lower jaws and their fragments (n = 100) obtained by transforming the digitized x-rays by scanning the x-rays using the program Trophy 2000 have been analyzed. The bone density of the body of lower jaw after tooth fracture or loss with its gradation to high, medium and low, as well as measuring areas using the program ImageJ 1.46 has been estimated. Certain changes in bone density after injuries of the mandible bone and tooth extraction at different ages including in persons with connective tissue dysplasia have been found.

SOME ASPECTS OF MONITORING OF NITROGENCONTAINING COMPOUNDS IN THE SOIL DURING FORENSIC ECOLOGICAL AND SOIL EXAMINATIONS

The author, based on the practice of conducting forensic ecological and soil examinations, considers some aspects of monitoring nitrogen-containing compounds in the soil from the point of view of applying the existing regulatory legal framework to determine the degree of contamination of lands (including soils) with chemicals.

Methodological approaches to determine the degree of soil contamination with nitrogen-containing compounds, providing for the mandatory instrumental study of the content of all forms of mineral nitrogen, including ammonium nitrogen are proposed.
