Humanitarian Action in Academic Institutions
Forensic anthropologists are often responsible for the management of long-term unidentified individuals. Others have contextualised these decedents-many of whom likely belonged to socially, politically, and/or economically marginalised groups in life-as part of a larger identification crisis in the US. However, there has been little discussion surrounding how this humanitarian crisis has manifested in academic institutions, where anthropologists …
Self- Reported Ancestry and Craniofacial SNPs
Genotype-phenotype studies increasingly link single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) to the dimensions of the face for presumed homogeneous populations. To appreciate the significance of these findings, it is essential to investigate how these results differ between the genetic and phenotypic profiles of individuals. In prior work, we investigated the connection between SNPs previously iden-tified as informative of soft tissue expression and measur…
Understanding the Relationship between Genetic Markers and Skeletal Remains
Human identification techniques have been a leading tool to hold perpetrators accountable, give families closure, and approximate faces on skulls. This project is a pilot study to critically examine three disciplines that fall under the human identification umbrella: forensic anthropology, forensic genetics, and forensic art. Current facial research in genetics focuses on data from living individuals, identifying specific single-nucleotide polymo…
Telephone veteran peer coaching for mental health treatment engagement among rural veterans
PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of telephone motivational coaching delivered by veteran peers to improve mental health (MH) treatment engagement among veterans. METHODS: Veterans receiving primary care from primarily rural VA community-based outpatient clinics were enrolled. Veterans not engaged in MH treatment screening positive for ≥1 MH problem(s) were randomized to receive veteran peer-delivered feedback on MH screen results and refer…

Moisture Content in Decomposing, Desiccated, and Mummified Human Tissue
Due to the nature of mummification, tissue that has been significantly desiccated may never reach the advanced stages of decomposition. This research measured the moisture content of five donated individuals placed at the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility at Texas State University over a period of nearly three months. Moisture-content readings were taken from 20 sites on each body on a daily basis and then analyzed through multilevel modeli…

Pre‐Implementation Strategies to Adapt and Implement a Veteran Peer Coaching Intervention to Improve Mental Health Treatment Engagement Among Rural Veterans
PURPOSE: Telephone motivational coaching has been shown to increase urban veteran mental health treatment initiation. However, no studies have tested telephone motivational coaching delivered by veteran peers to facilitate mental health treatment initiation and engagement. This study describes pre-implementation strategies with 8 Veterans Affairs (VA) community-based outpatient clinics in the West and Mid-South United States to adapt and implemen…

Metastatic carcinoma
A 62 year-old contemporary white female diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma of the breast was examined after skeletonisation. She never received chemical, hormonal or radiation therapy. Because of the confirmed clinical diagnosis, lack of medicinal intervention, and quality of bone preservation, this specimen provides a comparative standard for metastatic carcinoma and differential diagnosis of idiopathic dry bone pathology. We detail gross and r…

Interacting with the dead
Words Sweeter Than Honey
This article focuses on the go-between character, Umm 'Amr, in "Maqāma 9" by the Andalusi writer al-Saraqustī, ibn al-Aštarkūwī (d. 1143). Umm 'Amr is one of the first literary manifestations of a character that continued to gain popularity in the medieval literature of the Iberian Peninsula, culminating in the figure of the old whore, Celestina, protagonist of the medieval Spanish work that bears her name. Elements common to the later Spanish tr…
