Summary: Sex estimation of adult skeletons is a crucial step in forensic analysis, and this study evaluated the metric evaluation of the supero-inferior femoral neck diameter (SID) for sex estimation in a contemporary osteological collection from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The results showed high accuracy in sex discrimination using direct measurements, suggesting the method's adequacy for analyzing contemporary skeletal remains in the region.

Summary: Non-adult sex estimation is an active field of forensic inquiry, and this study aimed to test the validity of the auricular surface method for sex estimation in fetuses and children under the age of 5 years old. Results showed high accuracy of this method in sex estimation, suggesting its potential incorporation into multifactorial laboratory protocols for non-adult sex estimation from skeletal remains.

Summary: Scapulae have been studied for their potential in differentiating sex in skeletal remains, especially when other sexually dimorphic bones are not available. This research used 3D CT scapula models to investigate sexual dimorphism in the Malaysian population, developing discriminant functions with high classification accuracy for identifying skeletal remains based on scapulae measurements.

Summary: The ability to accurately differentiate individuals based on their biological sex is crucial for anthropological assessment. However, the lack of population-specific standards poses challenges for forensic anthropological assessments in specific jurisdictions. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of established cranial sex estimation methods from geographically distinct populations when applied to the contemporary Australian population. The findings highlight the importance of using statistical models developed from a population consistent with the decedent's for sex estimation in forensic casework.

Summary: This study aimed to test the sexual dimorphism of orbital measurements in the Croatian population using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) images. The results showed that females and males in Croatia differed in orbital measurements and these measurements had a certain accuracy in sex classification. These findings have potential implications for exploring population differences.

Summary: This study aimed to establish population-specific discriminant functions for sex estimation using six scapular measurements, with results indicating high accuracy rates and reliability for estimating the sex of skeletal remains. However, caution should be exercised when using the measurement of the maximum width of the coracoid process.

Summary: Correctly assessing sex from skeletal remains is crucial for creating biological profiles. The obturator foramen is a commonly used feature, but its accuracy has been debated. This study examined four skeletal collections from the UK and South Africa, using a grading scale, and found sexual dimorphism in the obturator foramen. However, the accuracy for sex classification varied across different samples and identifying subtle changes in morphology was challenging. Therefore, the obturator foramen should be used as part of a multifactorial assessment of sex.

Summary: The frontal sinus is an important cavity in the forehead and has been used for positive identification in forensic anthropology. This study found that shape is not affected by ancestral background or assigned sex, but dimensional variation is influenced by both factors.

Summary: Sexual dimorphism is generally obvious in brachyurans, with differences between species being more pronounced than those between sexes within the same species. Reproduction-related characteristics exhibit similar sexual differences across species. Regional intraspecific divergence is observed in mud crab species from certain areas.

Summary: The reliability of forensic entomology analyses relies on understanding the arthropod populations of interest and the contributing factors to variability. Recent studies show that sexual dimorphism may play a crucial role in analyzing traits and age-related genetic markers. The Chrysomya rufifacies system is particularly suitable for studying sexual dimorphism due to its monogenic sex determination system.

Summary: The study analyzed the sexual dimorphism of the frontal bone using a geometric morphometric approach to assess the accuracy of sex estimates. The results showed that this method can achieve high accuracy for sex estimates in post-pubertal subjects, but is not applicable in pre-pubertal ones.

Summary: This study investigates sexual dimorphism patterns among sympatric species of mud crabs Scylla olivacea, S. tranquebarica, and S. paramamosain. The results show that males exhibit larger body size dimensions and cheliped dimensions than females, while females have a wider abdomen. Additionally, a unique morphological variation was found in S. olivacea. Discriminant function analysis revealed sexually dimorphic characteristics in all three species.

Summary: Most bankruptcy prediction models do not fully capture the diversity of firm bankruptcy situations, often assuming that all symptoms of failure have the same origin or that financial situations leading to failure are the same for all firms. A proposed modeling method combines biclustering and ensemble techniques to overcome these limitations and improve forecast accuracy.
