A comprehensive examination of all critical aspects of Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) As the frequency of both natural and man-made mass fatality disasters increases worldwide, the establishment of clear standards and best practices within the field of Disaster Victim identification (DVI) is of vital importance. Whereas most countries assign jurisdiction to law enforcement agencies following Interpol guidelines, DVI is the responsibility of the medical examiner and coroner in the United States. Disaster Victim Identification in the 21st Century is the first book of its kind to directly address the needs of DVI practitioners in the United States, covering the full spectrum of DVI from traditional methods such as fingerprints, odontology, and anthropology to advanced DNA identification technology. Approaching DVI from three perspectives—academic, government, and private industry—this comprehensive volume examines the history and current state of the discipline, the ongoing formation of national standards, the various methods of human identification, and the key challenges and future of DVI. In-depth chapters are written by leaders in the field with personal experience in human identification and mass fatality events. Provides practitioners with practical guidance on planning and taking part in DVI based on current national standards and best practices Discusses continued improvement in both traditional and emerging DVI methods Includes non-region-specific case studies and recommendations that can be easily adapted for international use Examines ethical and legal considerations in DVI, including suggestions for standardizing the victim identification process Describes the critical role of the Victim Information Center (VIC) in providing the comparative information required to go beyond presumptive identifications Part of the American Association for Forensic Sciences (AAFS) series, Disaster Victim Identification in the 21st Century: A US Perspective is an indispensable resource for forensic scientists, disaster planners, policymakers, medical examiners and coroners, law enforcement and emergency personnel, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in forensic sciences and emergency management.

После всех событий последнего времени, политических потрясений, войн и эпидемий мир уже не будет таким, как прежде: большие изменения ждут нас в ближайшем будущем. Будет ли введен тотальный контроль над людьми с помощью всеобщей «цифровизации», как изменятся их сознание и жизнь, не превратятся ли они в зомбированных «киборгов»; каким будет общество, какую роль станет играть государство? Обо всем этом и многом другом пишут в данной книге известные российские философы, психологи, писатели, а также представителями мировой интеллектуальной элиты: Г. Джемаль, А. Столяров. А. Буровский, Жан Ф. Ришар, Джеймс Н. Розенау. Тарик Рамадан и другие. Какие-то выводы авторов могут показаться шокирующими, но в нынешней обстановке даже самые невероятные прогнозы могут сбыться.

Ob Mickey Mouse, Metauro oder Mosaik – die Antike ist in zahlreichen europäischen Comics verbreitet. Von den Graphic Novels über die didaktischen Comics, von längeren Serien über sporadische Erscheinungen des Altertums in etablierten Reihen bis hin zu kleineren satirischen Produktionen und den erotischen «schwarzen» Comics der 1970er Jahre wird hier exklusiv die gesamte Bandbreite präsentiert. Dazu kommen Zeichner und Autoren selbst zu Wort: Wieso haben sie die Entscheidung getroffen, sich mit antiken Themen und Mustern zu befassen? Woher beziehen sie ihre Informationen – in erster Linie zur antiken Geschichte und Literatur, aber auch zum Alltagsleben und zu den Ikonographien, ihres Zeichens unabdingbare Elemente, um die Antike visuell repräsentieren zu können? Welche Bedeutung oder welchen, auch nur ästhetischen, Wert hat ihres Erachtens die Antike für die heutige Welt? Denn es geht nicht nur um die Comics, die einzeln vorgestellt und analysiert werden, sondern um ganze Traditionen!
