Summary: This study found that blood exposed to intense heat has more optimal spectral characteristics within the infrared range. Changes in appearance, viscosity, and infrared absorption properties of blood exposed to different temperatures in fire were observed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results suggest that reflected infrared photography may be an effective tool for bloodstain recovery at arson scenes involving fire.

Summary: This paper presents the use of a modified conventional camera to capture multispectral images, combined with wavelength filters, capturing angle, and illumination sources, for locating latent forensic traces. By using a multispectral camera and the expertise of forensic professionals, hidden evidences can be made visible, which cannot be detected by the human eye.

Summary: Infrared photography is an effective method for detecting latent bloodstains on various materials, especially fabrics. However, it is not as effective on materials such as leather, tiles, and wood. Additionally, the time of bloodstain deposition does not significantly affect the ability of infrared and visual light to detect latent bloodstains.

Summary: Necrophagous flies are believed to feed on wet and dried blood at crime scenes, but there is limited empirical information on their interactions with dried bloodstains. This study found that flies exhibit differential responses to bloodstains based on the porosity and topography of the surface material. Flies tend to flake or dislodge blood that is not tightly adhered to materials, while they consume most stains on non-porous surfaces following moistening by regurgitation. In contrast, flies rarely mechanically alter dried blood on porous fabrics, possibly due to tactile inhibition on rough, uneven surfaces.

Summary: In this study, a novel marker, hemoglobin subunit beta protein, was identified as an internal standard for determining the age of bloodstains at crime scenes. The expression levels of the protein were found to gradually increase in two-dimensional electrophoresis under specific environmental conditions, indicating its potential use in age determination of bloodstains.

Summary: The use of infrared light for locating bloodstains on dark fabric is a common forensic technique, with commercially available products and high resolution cameras enhancing the detection capabilities under IR conditions. All IR systems were able to locate bloodstains, with higher resolution systems finding more bloodstains compared to lower resolution systems, while webcams performed less effectively in detecting small bloodstains and dilute blood.

Summary: This study successfully synthesized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Magnolia Grandiflora flower, doped with hydrogen sulfide, and applied them for latent fingerprint detection. The results show that the S-CQDs have a promising potential as fluorescent probes for detecting minutiae latent fingerprints on non-porous surface materials.

Summary: This study synthesized luminol carbon dots (N-CDs) from coconut water and ethanol, which are capable of detecting latent fingerprints on non-porous surfaces and can be easily detected under a UV lamp. The research discovered that N-CDs have a small size and a higher fluorescence intensity compared to standard ones.

Summary: Authenticating artworks can be challenging without reliable records. The process of recording artwork prices and provenance research has vulnerabilities that incentivize criminals to forge documents and sell stolen or fake art. Inadequate provenance research creates a lack of capable guardianship, which facilitates criminal activity. The ability to authenticate artworks is a crucial strategy in preventing illegitimate art from entering legitimate collections. This paper investigates current practices and explores future directions, such as the use of databases and blockchain technology.
