Forensic Entomology is the use of the insects, and their arthropod relatives that inhabit decomposing remains, to aid legal investigations.Forensic entomology is commonly used to estimate the time of death when the circumstances surrounding the crime are unknown.Insects arrive at a decomposing body in a particular order and then complete their life cycle based on the surrounding temperature. By collecting and studying the types of insects found on a body, a forensic entomologist can predict the time of death

Forensic Entomology is that special associated distinctive discipline of Forensic Science that deals with the assorted aspects of an insect’s or a maggot’s life cycle so as to assess the time since death.
The study of bugs relating to crime scene investigation. How the professionals work together with insects to determine time of death and any other important clues needed to solve a murder investigation. I took this class my freshman year of college.
Forensic botany is the scientific use of plant materials to help solve crimes. It is study of plant life n order to gain information regarding possible crimes.
This presentation discusses various aspects of wildlife crime management and conservation, some aspects related to genetics and new discoveries and techniques are also added.
This presentation will help you in understanding what is a pollen grain, what is forensic palynology, Structure of Pollen grain, It's biology, Dispersal and production, How to identify a pollen grain to species level based on Morphological characteristics and along with imparting detailed knowledge it will also help you to understand it's forensic significance.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

3. Introduction:-
Forensic Entomology is the scientific study of
conquering of the progressive patterns of the
arthropods with their developmental stages found
on the decomposed corpse during legal
investigations. It is primarily used to estimate the
time since death of the dead body.
4. Basic principle of insect biology:-
■ Insects are the dominant life-forms on Earth.
■ Insects are main consumers of plants and major source of
food too.
■ Insects are extraordinarily adaptable creatures.
■ Insects have wide diversity in size, form and behaviour.
■ Insects have hard exoskeleton as an armour.
■ Insects produce large numbers of offsprings at a time.
■ Insects provide honey, silk, wax and other useful products.
■ Insects are major pests to humans, animals and plants
sometimes.
5. ■ Eggs Laid: Eggs are laid by a mature female blowfly in carcass holes
or open wounds.
■ Eggs Hatch (Larvae): Eggs are 1-2 mm in length and hatch after 24-
45 hours.
■ 1st Stage Maggots (Larvae): Maggots produce an enzyme that breaks
down protein so they feed on semi-liquid bodily fluids. After several
days, they shed their exoskeleton.
■ 2nd Stage Maggots (Larvae): They grow in size and continue to feed
off the decomposing body. This stage ends when they molt for a
second time.
■ 3rd Stage Maggots (Pupae): They fall to ground and no longer feed or
move. Their exoskeleton hardens and turns from a light brown to a
black color.
■ Adult Blowfly: It emerges from the exoskeleton and can fly after only
a few hours. A male blowfly is able to mate right away while a
female must feed on protein before being able to lay her own eggs.
Life cycle of blow fly:-
6. Life cycle of flesh fly:-
■ The lifecycle of a fly begins as an egg.
■ After some time the egg hatches and larva comes out
of it. Larva feeds on the organic matter and when it
has stored sufficient nutrients it goes into pupal stage.
■ Pupal stage can again be of several days or months.
During the pupal period the development of the
actual fly like features begin.
■ From the pupa, the adult fly comes out and is ready to
start the cycle again
7. StAges of decomposition fueled by insect activity:-
Fresh Stage:--
■ Begins at death;
■ First sign of bloating due to putrefaction by anerobic
respiration;
■ Autolysis, the degradation of complex protein and
carbohydrate molecules, occur.
8. StAges of decomposition fueled by insect activity:-
Bloat Stage:--
■ Swells due the production of gases by bacteria;
■ Temperature of dead body rises;
■ Flies are attracted in large numbers;
■ Soil fauna moves away due to wetness of land.
9. StAges of decomposition fueled by insect activity:-
Decay Stage:--
■ Gases and fluids ooze out from the body;
■ Maggots break through the skin;
■ Predatory bettles are attracted;
■ Unpleasant odour;
■ Larvae pupate;
■ Corpse is reduced to 20%.
10. StAges of decomposition fueled by insect activity:-
Post-Decay Stage:--
■ Corpse get reduced to hair, bones and skin.
11. StAges of decomposition fueled by insect activity:-
Dry Stage:--
■ Doesn’t occur in wet areas;
■ Corpse is reduced to 10% of original mass;
■ Only bones and hair remains;
■ Normal soil fauna starts to return;
■ This stage may last from several months to years.
12. Estimation of time since death:-
When a body is discovered more than 72 hours after
death, details normally examined to establish time of
deatth are body temperature, skin color, and degree
of muscle rigidity, etc. Blowflies, however, lay eggs
within minutes of someone dying and so
investigators can use the growth timeline of blowfly
maggots to find out exactly when a person died.
13. Collection and preservation of entomological evidence:-
■ Camera and video should be fixed to evidence
site.
■ Net or sticky traps are used to catch fly.
■ Collect insects in live specimen containers
using forceps.
■ Preserve evidences in 98% alcohol.
■ Record details about crime scene.
■ Contamination of evidences must be avoided
by using gloves and hand towels.
14. Mcqs
