BACKGROUND Photography is an integrated part of standard forensic examination procedures, acting as a guide and the evidence itself. Despite its potential, no research has yet explored the use of ...35mm format cameras (digital single-lens reflex DSLR) in sexual violence cases. This study aimed to assess the impact of DSLR camera image characteristics on the interpretation of child sexual abuse cases. METHODS This cross-sectional study used 55 digital photos selected through a convenience sampling. The samples were interpreted by two independent forensic experts who were not affiliated with this research and were compared with the results of the doctor’s examination from the medical records. RESULTS The metadata extraction results (EXIF data) indicated that all characteristic values had an abnormal distribution. The digital photos’ characteristics were associated with the use of a 50mm focal length (p = 0.011). A range of lens opening values (aperture = f7.1–f8.0), shutter speed (1/100–1/125 sec), and sensor sensitivity (ISO = 800–1600) were not associated with the experts’ interpretation conformity. Additionally, the conformity index for the overall interpretation by the two forensic experts differed in each area. CONCLUSIONS Focal length of 50mm was significantly related to interpretation conformity. The exposure triangle settings, including aperture (f7.1–f8.0), shutter speed (1/100–1/125 sec), and ISO (800–1600), can serve as fundamental guidelines for digital camera settings in examining child sexual violence cases.
Nowadays, the incidence of traffic accidents increases annually. Injuries caused by traffic accidents show specific patterns, which differ from that of injuries due to other causes. Information of ...injury patterns due to accidents can be very useful in the management of treatment. The aim of this retrospective study is to describe the kinds of injuries in autopsied victims due to traffic accidents, which were autopsied, and in some cases handled in Prof.dr.R.D.Kandou Manado General Hospital from 2004 until 2008. The results showed that 77.7% of deaths were due to traffic accident head injuries, and 22.2% to chest injuries. We observed that they had obvious internal organ damage, especially in the abdomen, which observation could not have been predicted just from external examination. Therefore, it can be concluded that not only deaths by traffic accidents, but all fatalities should undergo autopsy to verify the exact cause of death. Keywords: injury pattern, retrospective study, forensic autopsy Abstrak: Angka kecelakaan lalu lintas tiap tahun meningkat. Cedera yang ditimbulkan memiliki pola tertentu yang berbeda dengan cedera akibat kekerasan lain. Informasi mengenai pola cedera pada kecelakaan lalu lintas dapat digunakan dalam pengobatan. Studi retrospektif ini mendeskripsi-kan cedera yang ditemukan pada autopsi korban kecelakaan lalu lintas di rumah sakit umum Prof.dr.R.D Kandou di Manado, periode tahun 2004 – 2008. Hasil survei menemukan bahwa 77,7% kasus kematian akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas disebabkan oleh cedera kepala, dan 22,2 % akibat cedera pada dada. Dari pengamatan penulis tampak dengan jelas kerusakan organ dalam, terutama pada perut tidak dapat diperkirakan hanya dengan pemeriksaan luar mayat. Perlu dipikirkan bersama agar dapat diciptakan kondisi di mana korban meninggal pada kasus kecelakaan lalu lintas maupun untuk kasus yang lain dapat menerima pelayanan autopsi forensik. Kata kunci: Pola cedera, studi retrospektif, autopsi forensik
The adoption and implementation of e-government is a necessity for governments in developing countries. However, there are many barrier factors faced in its implementation. At the same time, there ...are also driver factors that can support it. We used the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) to identify barriers and drivers in e-government implementation in developing countries. Several theories or frameworks are used in related studies, one of which is the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. This study reveals that the previous studies were still focused on the municipal and central government levels. This study also found that there are 15 barriers and 17 driver factors. Based on TOE framework, we classified 7 factors in the technology dimension, 13 factors in the organization dimension, and 10 factors in the environment dimension. These findings can help other developing countries identify the barriers and potentials that can guide them to successful use of e-government.
