Abstract:

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a performance White Face And Blonde Hair (2012) da artista multidisciplinar Renata Felinto (1978) a partir do conceito de branquitude (BENTO, 2002; FRANKENBERG, 2004; SCHUCMAN, 2012; CARDOSO, 2017). Na performance, a artista se autorrepresenta como uma mulher loira, sedutora e sorridente para questionar os padrões de beleza branco e ocidental impostos como “universais”, e veiculados como naturais pela cultura de massa. O trabalho de Felinto revela como os padrões de beleza que vigoram no Brasil ainda são extremamente eurocêntricos e excludentes estruturando processos contínuos de violência contra às mulheres não brancas e que não estão dentro de um padrão dominante de beleza branca propagado como belo, bom e universal.

Abstract:

This experiment examined whether a female applicant's hair color and use of cosmetics might affect perceptions of her ability for a professional position. One hundred thirty six college students reviewed the identical professional resume of a female applicant for the position of a staff accountant. Attached to the resume was a photograph of the stimulus female applicant either wearing or not wearing cosmetics and depicted with brunette, red, or blonde hair color. The results demonstrated significant main effects of both hair color and cosmetic use. Specifically, the applicant was rated more capable and was assigned a higher salary both when depicted with brunette hair color and when depicted without cosmetics. There were no interactions between hair color and cosmetic use. The findings demonstrate that biases regarding personal appearance may affect judgments about a female applicant's ability.

Abstract:

A review of the literature suggests that hair color influences the quality of interpersonal interactions. In a factorially designed study, two male and two female confederates (Cs) encountered 72 male and 72 female street pedestrians (Ss) asking for help. Cs wore brunette wigs for half of their interactions and blonde wigs for the rest. Results showed that while women helped Cs equally regardless of their gender, men helped women more than they helped men. Hair color of Cs was not shown to affect helping behavior. The findings are discussed in the context of other studies and limitations are outlined.

Abstract:

On a foggy January morning, I hopped on my bicycle as usual and was quickly on my way to volunteer in a fifth-grade classroom across town at an elementary school in Turlock, California. I was headed back for the first day of school after returning from the winter break. I was in my happy place – wind blowing through my long blonde hair, legs spinning to my own rhythm – and I felt a sense of inner peace. I high-fived an older brother biking with his younger sister as they crossed traffic at a busy intersection, and I exchanged smiles with a mother walking her daughter to her kindergarten class.

Abstract:

This study aims to determine the para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in hair dyes by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In the presented study, ten hair dye samples were collected from local markets in El-Bieda - Libya. A rapid, simple and reliable method is developed and validated for the determination of PPD in hair dyes samples using 50% methanol solution as solvent. The method was validated over a wide linear range of 5 – 25 µg/mL with correlation coefficients being consistently greater than 0.997. The LOD and LOQ were 1.21 µg/ ml and 3.67 µg/ ml, respectively. Relative standard deviation (% R.S.D.) ranged between 0.07 and 1.15 %. The minimum PPD level was observed in Beauty Touch (Blonde) sample (0.0855 % w/w), while Jourin sense Cosmetics (Black Blue) sample showed the highest PPD content (2.2526 % w/w). The HPLC measurments indicated that the results of PPD concentrations in Black colour samples were in the range of 0.3705 % - 2.2526 % w/w. Whereas its concentrations in anthor colour samples were in the range of 0.0855 % - 0.5936 % w/w. The level of PPD in Black colour samples were higher than other colour samples. The PPD content in all the samples analyzed in this study are well below the allowable limits set by the US Food and Drugs Administration.

Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish whether a relationship exists between eye and hair color and orthodontic anomalies; an association has never been evaluated previously. Materials and Methods: The records of 406 adolescent patients to the Erciyes University Faculty of Dentistry for orthodontic treatment were included in this retrospective cohort study. Participants were divided into sagittal (Class I, Class II, and Class III) and vertical (low angle, normal angle, and high angle) skeletal malocclusion classes. Moreover, participants were also divided by their eye (brown, green, or blue) and hair (black, brown, or blonde) color. Collated data were statistically evaluated using the SPSS software by applying the one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal–Wallis, the Pearson Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests. Statistical significance was accepted at P < 0.05. Results: No statistically significant relationships were identified between sagittal and skeletal malocclusion and eye color (P > 0.05). However, the sella-nasion-b and CoGn parameters of brown-eyed individuals were significantly smaller than individuals with other eye colors (P < 0.05). Moreover, a statistically significant difference was established for the CoA, CoGn, and ANS-Me parameters between the different hair groups (P < 0.05). All three parameters were significantly lower in brown-haired individuals compared to individuals with black haired (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study identified no significant association between the eye and hair color variable, with similarly formed craniofacial structures, and with the sagittal and vertical skeletal malocclusion. Therefore, any malocclusion estimation assumption formed based on either the hair or eye color of an individual will be incorrect.

Abstract:

Background: Hair coloring, or hair coloring, is the follow of fixing the hair color. The most reasons for this area unit cosmetic: to hide gray or white hair, to alter to a color thought to be additional modern or fascinating, or to revive the initial hair color once, it's been stained by hairdressing process or sun bleaching. Hair coloring is often done professionally by a stylist or severally reception. Celtic folks colored their hair blonde; they bleach it by laundry them in lime and brushing it back from their foreheads. The coloring of hair is associate ancient art that involves treatment of the hair with varied chemical compounds. In history, the dyes were obtained from plants. The event of artificial dyes for hair is derived from the legendary discovery of the reactivity of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) with air. Results: Hair dyes are cosmetic compounds that make contact with the skin throughout application. As a result of this skin contact, there exists some health risk related to use of hair dyes. People allergic to protein as an example, can have to be compelled to take care once buying hair color since bound dye includes protein. Protein doesn't have to be compelled to be eaten for it to cause associate hypersensitivity reaction. Skin contact with protein might cause a reaction; thus, resulting in associate hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms of those reactions will embody redness, sores, itching, burning sensation, and discomfort. Symptoms can typically not be apparent instantly following the appliance and process of the tint, however may arise once hours or maybe daily later. Conclusion: Pigments of the hair got colored by the tactic of removing, replacing, or covering up. Employment of those chemicals may cause varied adverse effects, at the facet of temporary skin irritation and hypersensitivity, hair breakage, skin discoloration, and explosive hair color results. The ultimate color of every strand of hair can depend upon its original color and body. As a result of hair's color and body across the pinnacle and on the length of a hair strand, there'll be delicate variations in shade across the complete head. This provides an additional natural-looking result than the solid, everywhere color of a permanent color. Thus, hair dyes area unit regulated within the industrial marketplace and, as new toxicity knowledge is generated for a few hair dye, and health risks area unit discovered, in a controlled people, employment of hair coloring may end up in aversions and/or skin irritation.

Abstract:

El sistema del arte en Brasil está marcado por las mismas relaciones de la sociedad brasileña: violencia, racismo, colonialidad y naturalización de las diferencias sociales. En consecuencia, tiene dificultades para ver y hacer ver la herida colonial, los conflictos y contradicciones de esa sociedad. Ese racializado sistema del arte dificulta su ocupación por las poblaciones negras e indígenas, ignorando una diversa producción artística. Este artículo presenta las performances “Bombril”, de Priscila Rezende y “White Face and Blonde Hair”, de Renata Felinto que, en sus acciones artísticas plasman no solo sus problemáticas personales, también producen narrativas insurgentes. Propongo el concepto de narrativas insurgentes para denominar la forma por la que esas artistas dan sentido al contexto social de las amefricanas, haciendo ver las condiciones de existencia que crean y mantienen conflictos sociales.

Abstract:

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the commonest malignant neoplasm in white people. We present a large UK case-control study in which conditional logistic regression analysis of age-matched and gender-matched data sets was used to compare, first, cases with controls (n=403) and second, patients having multiple BCC with those having a single BCC (n=278). Eye/hair colour, occupation, skin type, social class, tumour site at presentation and smoking history were assessed. Social class 1/2, skin type 1, red/blonde hair and blue/green eyes were all related to BCC risk, social class most strongly (odds ratio 2.36, P=0.007). Truncal site at presentation was a risk factor for the development of multiple BCC (odds ratio 4.03, P=0.002). These data support the view that genetically mediated differences in ultraviolet responsiveness are important in BCC, though the scale of their effect is small. They may be exploitable in primary and secondary prevention as well as giving insights into pathogenesis. In particular, the fact that patients presenting with a truncal tumour are at increased risk of further BCC suggests that intermittent exposure in genetically predisposed individuals may contribute to a cancer susceptibility syndrome.

Abstract:

Pediculosis is an integumentary disease caused by the ecto-parasite Pediculus humanus capitis, which infests human hair. It is a common public health problem that is most prominent worldwide in elementary school children. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and genetic diversity of P. humanus capitis among primary school children in the Erbil province. For this purpose, this study was conducted from October 2019 to December 2019 among 1100 randomly selected elementary school children aged 6-12. Data collection was performed via a regular questionnaire and physical hair examination. For the genetic diversity part, after collecting one louse randomly from each individual, DNA was extracted. The mitochondrial Cox1 gene was then amplified by universal primer and PCR. Gene sequencing was performed by ABI (BioNEER, South Korea). Data analysis was done by Chi-Square and T-test using the SPSS ver. 23. The overall infestation rate was 21.27%, and the rate was significantly higher among females (34.93%) compared to males (7.91%). Some variables had found the prevalence rate to be strongly affected. This included age; the rate was not significant (26.87%) in the age group 8-9 years compared to other age groups. According to hair length, the rate was significantly increased (36.52%) among children with tall hair. In terms of hair type, the incidence of curly-haired children was significantly higher (31.54%); in terms of hair color, there were not significant differences among blonde children (25.90%) and others. According to the results of Cox1 gene sequencing, of 234 infested children to lice, 86 (36.75%) of them were exposed to clade A, 38 (16.24%) were exposed to clade B, clade C has not been seen among any children (0%), 105 students (44.87%) were exposed to clade D, and 5 of them exposed to clade E (2.14%). Eventually, a significantly higher incidence (33.78%) was reported in rural primary school children. The infection rate of human head lice in Erbil province is still high, which is one of the health problems of children in public schools.

Abstract:

Objectives: The objective of this paper is to estimate the association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and measures of sun exposure in specific age periods in Norway and Italy. Methods: A total of 1660 MS patients and 3050 controls from Italy and Norway who participated in a multinational case-control study (EnvIMS) reported sun habits during childhood and adolescence. Results: A significant association between infrequent summer outdoor activity and increased MS risk was found in Norway and in Italy. The association was strongest between the ages of 16 and 18 years in Norway (odds ratio (OR) 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30–2.59), and between birth and age 5 years in Italy (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.16–2.10). In Italy a significant association was also found during winter (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.03–1.97). Frequent sunscreen use between birth and the age of 6 years was associated with MS in Norway (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.08–1.93) after adjusting for outdoor activity during the same period. Red hair (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.06–2.63) and blonde hair (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.09–1.70) were associated with MS after adjusting for outdoor activity and sunscreen use. Conclusion: Converging evidence from different measures underlines the beneficial effect of sun exposure on MS risk.

Abstract:

This qualitative study examines culture as a mitigating factor in adolescents' media uses and gratifications. Middle-class African-American and White female readers of the three most popular teen magazines were interviewed for their interpretations of the feminine ideal presented in these texts. While Black girls in this study sought out mainstream teen magazines for what they saw as relatively generic content on topics like social issues and entertainment, these girls were largely uninterested in teen magazines' beauty images because they conflict with African-American standards of attractiveness. Featured brands of makeup and hair care products—as well as advice on their use—were also seen as being specifically intended for White girls, who consequently invest more authority in the magazines' counsel and images. The magazines are a one-way mirror through which Black girls observe and critique White beauty culture. White girls were generally unaware of any racial bias in the magazines.

Abstract:

Per Nørgård makes an improbable Grand Old Man. For a start, he's not nearly old enough; though he was 65 on 13 July this year, you wouldn't imagine to look at him that he was much past his mid-forties. Nørgård, moreover, cuts no establishment figure: he is a large, imposing man, with a thatch of reddish-blonde hair splashed on top of a rugby-player's frame that suggests he is about to explode into action at any moment. But Grand Old Man he already is: with the deaths of his teachers Vagn Holmboe (last September, at the age of 88) and Finn Høffding (this March, at an Olympian 98), Nørgård is now the senior figure in Danish music; there are older composers, of course, but none of his international standing. He doesn't act the part, though: his gestures are gentle, his conversation calm. Indeed, he talks about himself and his music with a quiet conviction that draws in the listener like a youngster listening to a bedtime story.

Blond males were seen as strong, active, pleasant, successful, and good-looking. Redheaded females were seen as unattractive, but as competent and professional. Redheaded males had a surprisingly negative stereotype. They were seen as very unattractive, less successful, and rather effeminate. Hair-color stereotypes seem to be very long lasting and robust.

Abstract:

An express method for measuring the refractive index, which is one of the main optical parameters of transparent fibres, is suggested. The method uses focusing properties of a cylindrical lens, which such a fibre is. The possibility to accurately measure such characteristics of optical fibres as the shell and core diameters, numerical aperture, refractive index profile, loss, and dispersion is equally important for fibre manufacturers and designers of optical communication systems who should choose the fibre that meets their requirements best. Almost all measurement methods use the refraction of light rays at the interface between the media. To do this, one should make samples of given shape and size, which are individual for each measuring instrument. The suggested method takes into account the fact that when light strikes upon a refractive cylinder (glass rod, fibreglass), the focusing occurs perpendicular to its axis with a focal region where light rays converge. Behind this region, the rays diverge again. The position of the focal region is determined by the refractive index of the cylinder. It can be inside the cylinder, outside it, or on the surface of the cylinder. During the observation of the fibre using a microscope, one can see that the light, which has passed through the fibre, forms a bright band on its backside against a dark background. The bandwidth depends on the refractive index of the fibre. The calculations using the methods of geometric optics were carried out. These methods may be applied over a wide range of fibre diameters. Using strict formulas of diffraction theory, the distribution of radiation energy in the fibre and its vicinity was calculated. A digital analysis of the resulting pattern was carried out. The results of the analysis coincided with the results obtained using the methods of geometric optics. An algorithm for determining the refractive index was worked out. The measurements of the refractive indices of artificial and natural fibres like fibreglass, webs and human hair (blonde-haired person, brown-haired person, grey hair) were provided.

<abstract> <p>Current public health advice is that high ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary cause of Malignant Melanoma of skin (CMM), however, despite the use of sun-blocking products incidence of melanoma is increasing. To investigate the UVR influence on CMM incidence worldwide WHO, United Nations, World Bank databases and literature provided 182 country-speciﬁc melanoma incidence estimates, daily UVR levels, skin colour (EEL), socioeconomic status (GDP PPP), magnitude of reduced natural selection (Ibs), ageing, urbanization, percentage of European descendants (Eu%), and depigmentation (blonde hair colour), for parametric and non-parametric correlations, multivariate regressions and analyses of variance. Worldwide, UVR levels showed negative correlation with melanoma incidence (“rho” = −0.515, p < 0.001), remaining significant and negative in parametric partial correlation (r = −0.513, p < 0.001) with other variables kept constant. After standardising melanoma incidence for Eu%, melanoma correlation with UVR disappeared completely (“rho” = 0.004, p = 0.967, n = 127). The results question classical views that UVR causes melanoma. No correlation between UVR level and melanoma incidence was present when Eu% (depigmented or light skin type) was kept statistically constant, even after adjusting for other known variables. Countries with lower UVR levels and more Eu% (depigmented or light skin people) have higher melanoma incidence. Critically, this means that individual genetic low skin pigmentation factors predict melanoma risk regardless of UVR exposure levels, and even at low-UVR levels.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:

Aim: The objective of the present study was to recruit congenital families of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and mutations in TYR and OCA2 genes are identified, which is further expanding the mutation spectrum in this population. Methods: Two consanguineous families with OCA were recruited and whole blood was collected. Clinical examination was carried out to determine the visual acuity and related eye, skin and hair examinations. Genomic DNA was extracted by standard phenol-chloroform method. Targeted exome sequencing by TruSight one sequencing panel sequencing was carried out. Sanger sequencing was performed for mutation detection in tyrosinase (TYR) and the OCA2 genes and co-segregation in OCA families. Results: Clinically, the affected individuals of two OCA families showed clinical characteristics including white to pale skin, white or blonde hairs, irritant to light, nystagmus and reduced vision. DNA sequencing showed the genetic mutation of TYR and OCA2 genes in two OCA families. In family 1, the nucleotide variant (c.1255G>A; p.Gly419Arg) was detected inTYR gene, while in another family, the splice-site variant c.1045-15T>G was identified in OCA2. Conclusion: This study concluded that identification of TYR and OCA2 mutations in OCA disease are commonly associated with the population where the consanguinity is persistent. These findings expanded the molecular basis of oculocutaneous albinism in Pakistani families and established the mode of genetic counselling and for diagnostic outcome. Keywords: Consanguineous families; Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA); mutations; tyrosinase (TYR); OCA2 gene.

Abstract:

As tinturas capilares são utilizadas por inúmeras pessoas ao redor do mundo, independentemente do tipo de cabelo, sexo, idade ou classe social. Logo, a quantificação de substâncias químicas com potencial nocivo em tais produtos se faz necessária para assegurar a saúde desses consumidores. Neste âmbito, este trabalho quantificou os teores de amônia contida em tinturas capilares permanentes de diferentes marcas nas tonalidades de loiro (7.0) e de castanho (4.0) e os comparou estatisticamente com a legislação vigente. A metodologia empregada foi titulação de neutralização por meio da reação da amônia presente nas formulações com ácido sulfúrico. A análise estatística foi baseada nos testes de hipóteses de G de Grubbs, Q de Dixon, intervalo de confiança, teste t pareado e não pareado, ANOVA e Tukey, todos com 95% de confiança (p<0,05). Os teores de amônia variaram de 1,27±0,19 a 1,96±0,43, em níveis estatisticamente menores que 6%, atendendo a legislação brasileira (RDC ANVISA 03/2012). De modo geral, as tinturas 7.0 apresentaram um teor de amônia ligeiramente maior quando comparada às tinturas 4.0. Foram identificadas diferenças significativas entre o teor de amônia da marca C (intitulada sem amônia) em relação à marca A na tonalidade 4.0, todavia não se identificou esse mesmo comportamento na tonalidade 7.0. Todas as marcas e tonalidades continham amônia apesar de a embalagem afirmar o oposto. Contudo, estavam adequadas à legislação que estabelece o máximo de 2%, sendo os teores quantificados em 1,96±0,43 e 1,91±0,08%, para as tonalidade loiro e castanho, respectivamente.

Abstract Ammonia quantification in hair dye Hair dyes are used by countless people around the world, regardless of hair type, gender, age or social class. Therefore, the quantification of chemical substances with harmful potential in such products is necessary to ensure the health of these consumers. In this context, this work quantified the levels of ammonia contained in permanent hair dyes of different brands in shades of blonde (7.0) and brown (4.0) and compared them statistically with the current legislation. The methodology used was neutralization titration through the reaction of ammonia present in the formulations with sulfuric acid. Statistical analysis was based on hypothesis tests: Grubbs’s G, Dixon's Q, confidence interval, paired and unpaired t test, ANOVA and Tukey, all with 95% of confidence (p<0.05). Ammonia levels ranged from 1.27±0.19 up to 1.96±0.43, at statistically levels lower than 6%, in according to the Brazilian legislation (RDC ANVISA 03/2012). In general, the 7.0 dyes had slightly higher ammonia content when compared to those 4.0 dyes. Significant differences were identified between the ammonia content of C brand (called ammonia free) to the A brand in shade 4.0, however this same behavior was not identified in shade 7.0. All brands and shades contained ammonia even on the packaging describing otherwise. However, they were adequate to the legislation that establishes a maximum of 2%, which quantified levels were 1.96±0.43 and 1.91±0.08%, for blonde and brown shades, respectively. Keywords: Cosmetic; hypothesis testing; volumetry; analytical chemistry. Resumen Cuantificación de amoníaco en tintes para el cabello Los tintes de cabello son utilizados por innumerables personas en todo el mundo, independientemente del tipo de cabello, sexo, edad o clase social. Por lo tanto, la cuantificación de sustancias químicas con potencial nocivo en estos productos es necesaria para garantizar la salud de estos consumidores. En este contexto, este trabajo cuantificó los niveles de amoníaco contenidos en tintes de cabello permanentes de diferentes marcas, en tonos de rubio (7,0) y castaño (4,0), y los comparó estadísticamente con la legislación vigente. La metodología utilizada fue la titulación de neutralización mediante la reacción del amoníaco presente en las formulaciones con ácido sulfúrico. El análisis estadístico se basó en las pruebas de hipótesis G de Grubbs, Q de Dixon, intervalo de confianza, prueba t pareada y no pareada, ANOVA y Tukey, todas con 95% de confianza (p<0,05). Los niveles de amoníaco variaron de 1,27±0,19 a 1,96±0,43, en niveles estadísticamente inferiores al 6%, en cumplimiento de la legislación brasileña (RDC ANVISA 03/2012). En general, los tintes 7.0 tenían un contenido de amoníaco ligeramente mayor en comparación con los tintes 4.0. Se identificaron diferencias significativas entre el contenido de amoníaco de la marca C (titulada sin amoníaco) con relación a la marca A en el tono 4.0, pero no se identificó este mismo comportamiento en el tono 7.0. Todas las marcas y tonos contenían amoníaco, aunque los envases decían lo contrario. Sin embargo, se adecuaron a la legislación que establece un máximo del 2%, siendo los niveles cuantificados de 1,96±0,43 y 1,91±0,08% para tonos rubios y castaños, respectivamente.

Abstract:

Results of previous researchers' studies on the effect of blond hair color on helping behavior have been inconsistent. In addition, spontaneous helping behavior has not been examined. In this study, female confederates wearing blond, brown, or dark wigs accidentally dropped a glove while walking in pedestrian streets and then walked away, apparently not aware of their loss. It was found that male and not female pedestrians helped the confederates wearing blond wigs more often. An explanation for these results is that a greater degree of youth and good health is associated with women who have blond hair.

Abstract:

We identified the genetic variants for eye color by Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) in a Dutch Caucasian family-based population sample and examined the genetic correlation between hair and eye color using data from unrelated participants from the Netherlands Twin Register. With the Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis software package, we found strong genetic correlations between various combinations of hair and eye colors. The strongest positive correlations were found for blue eyes with blond hair (0.87) and brown eyes with dark hair (0.71), whereas blue eyes with dark hair and brown eyes with blond hair showed the strongest negative correlations (-0.64 and -0.94, respectively). Red hair with green/hazel eyes showed the weakest correlation (-0.14). All analyses were corrected for age and sex, and we explored the effects of correcting for principal components (PCs) that represent ancestry and describe the genetic stratification of the Netherlands. When including the first three PCs as covariates, the genetic correlations between the phenotypes disappeared. This is not unexpected since hair and eye colors strongly indicate the ancestry of an individual. This makes it difficult to separate the effects of population stratification and the true genetic effects of variants on these particular phenotypes.

Abstract:

The issue related to the study of anthroposcopic, anthropometric, dermatoglyphic parameters of the population of Ukraine to create regional gene pools remains relevant, because given the intensification of migration processes both within Ukraine and worldwide. The growing flow of global migration and assimilation creates all the conditions for the disappearance of pure ethnic groups and peoples. This work highlights the prospects for studying the ethnic and regional features of human anthroscopic parameters. The article presents the differential anthroscopic characteristics of Hutsul, Boyko, Lemko, Opollia, Pokuttia ethno-territorial groups. The goal of the work. To form anthroscopic portraits of Hutsul, Boyko, Lemko, Opollia, Pokuttia ethno-territorial groups in comparison with the control group of persons. Materials and methods. The material of the study was anthroscopic parameters of 480 males and females aged 18-59 years, belonging to the Hutsul, Boyko, Lemko, Opollia, Pokuttia and control groups, obtained by questionnaires using standardized methods proposed by Ginsburg BB (1963). The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results. Anthroposcopic portrait of the studied groups: Hutsul ethno-territorial group is characterized by dark skin tone, black straight hair, oval elongated straight face, dark brown or green-brown eyes, long narrow nose; Boyko ethno-territorial group is marked by white skin color, blond straight or wavy hair, round broad face, gray or dark brown eyes, wide straight nose; the Lemko ethno-territorial group is distinguished by white skin color, light straight or curly hair, oval elongated narrow long face, light brown and blue eyes, narrow straight nose; Opole ethno-territorial group is characterized by white skin color, light blond and dark blond wavy hair, round broad face, dark brown and light brown eyes, straight wide nose; The Pokut ethno-territorial group is distinguished by white skin, black and dark blond straight hair, an oval elongated narrow face, brown-green eyes, and a long narrow nose. Conclusion. We were able to apply the obtained results in practice, including in the set of identification features and developing an algorithm for rapid prediction of human outward signs.

Abstract:

Forensic DNA Phenotyping (FDP) can reveal the appearance of an unknown individual by predicting the ancestry, phenotype (i.e., hair, eye, skin color), and age from DNA obtained at the crime scene. The HIrisPlex system has been developed to simultaneously predict eye and hair color. However, the prediction accuracy of the system needs to be assessed for the tested population before implementing FDP in casework. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the HIrisPlex system on 149 individuals from the Turkish population. We applied the single-based extension (SNaPshot chemistry) method and used the HIrisPlex online tool to test the prediction of the eye and hair colors. The accuracy of the HIrisPlex system was assessed through the calculation of the area under the receiver characteristic operating curves (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). The results showed that the proposed method successfully predicted the eye and hair color, especially for blue (100%) and brown (95.60%) eye and black (95.23) and brown (98.94) hair colors. As observed in previous studies, the system failed to predict intermediate eye color, representing 25% in our cohort. The majority of incorrect predictions were observed for blond hair color (40.7%). Previous HIrisPlex studies have also noted difficulties with these phenotypes. Our study shows that the HIrisPlex system can be applied to forensic casework in Turkey with careful interpretation of the data, particularly intermediate eye color and blond hair color.

Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction and aimPain sensitivity has been linked to the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene. A mutation in MC1R can result in pale skin and red hair in humans and may modulate pain responses in general. Human studies have shown that women with non-functional MC1R’s were sensitive to experimental induced cold and heat pain. A study demonstrated that females with red hair required higher dose of anesthesia than females with dark hair to experience analgesia to electrical stimulation. Moreover, women expressing non-functional MC1Rs display greater analgesia from opioid analgesia. If redheads in general respond differently to pain and analgesics, this is of clinical importance. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate pain sensitivity and experimentally induced sensitisation in red haired females.MethodTwenty healthy females with pale skin and red hair (mean age 32 years, range 20–55) and 20 healthy females with blond/dark hair (mean age 31 years, range 20–51) participated in this study. The pain tolerance thresholds to heat and pressure stimulation were determined. Hyperalgesia was induced experimentally by applying 0.075% topical capsaicin cream for 30 min. The secondary pin-prick hyperalgesic area was estimated with a calibrated filament (von Frey hair, 15 g) and the area of allodynia by a soft brush. This was done 0, 30, 60, and 90 min after cream removal.ResultsNeither heat nor pressure pain tolerance thresholds were changed in the two groups. The secondary pin-prick hyperalgesic areas were significantly smaller for red haired females than blond/dark haired females (P = 0.014). There were no significant differences in the allodynic areas.DiscussionAs the secondary hyperalgesic response evoked by topical capsaicin is a central phenomenon, the observed smaller pin-prick hyperalgesic area in the red haired females could indicate a central role of MCRs in development or maintenance of hyperalgesia. Central involvement of MC1Rs or dysfunction of peripheral MC1Rs activating central MC4Rs has been suggested to influence pain sensitivity. The difference observed between red haired and non-red haired females may have implications for pain management regimens as compounds interacting with sensitisation such as NMDA-antagonists or alpha-2-delta-ligands may exert different types of action in people with MC1R mutation.ConclusionThe present study showed that red haired females were less sensitive to topical capsaicin induced pin-prick hyperalgesia compared with blond/dark haired females.ImplicationsThe smaller hyperalgesic area in redheads could be a manifestation of central anti-hyperalgesic involvement of MCRs and could have an influence on the treatment of pain as well as in studies investigating anti-hyperalgesic drugs.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an inherited platelet disorder characterized by bleeding diathesis, oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and, sometimes, serious clinical complicationssuch as immunodeficiency, granulomatous colitis, and/or pulmonary fibrosis. Heterogeneous clinical symptoms and a large number of possible genetic culprits (10 HPS genes, >120 exons) complicate an unequivocal diagnosis of HPS. This study aimed to assess the clinical and platelet phenotype in ten patients with suspected HPS, and to identify the underlying genetic defects. Methods Ten patients from six families (F1 and F3 were Spanish, F2 was Turkish and F4, F5 and F6 were Portuguese) presenting with OCA (confirmed by skin biopsy) and bleeding diathesiswere included. Bleeding was evaluated by ISTH-BAT score. Phenotyping included, in patients with fresh blood samples available, platelet aggregation and ATP release, flow cytometry (FC), 14C-serotonin uptake and whole-mount electron microscopy (EM). Patients DNA was analyzed using two different targeted panels by high throughput sequencing (HTS). Sequence variants classification was performed according to ACMP recommendations. Results Patient characteristics are summarized in table 1. In F1, that had no history of consanguinity, there were two affected sisters. Patients 1 (P1) had several episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding (GI), which was attributed to granulomatous colitis. F2 is a consanguineous Turkish family, were P3 had severe rectal bleeding, requiring colectomy combined with ileostomy surgery. Pathological examination of the colon was reported as non-granulomatous colitis. Her older sister (P4) had exhibited dyspnea and shortness according to diffuse bilateral pulmonary fibrosis (BPF) diagnosis. In F3, P5 had been referred with acute GI bleeding secondary to angiodysplasia. In the non-consanguineous F4, HPS was first confirmed in P6, who showed blonde hair, nystagmus and low visual acuity; his older sister was diagnosed with HPS later, at the age of 56 years old (P7), because her OCA was masked using dark brown hair-coloring products. In P8, born from a non-consanguineous family (F5), HPS was suspected early in life, four months of age, upon recognition of OCA, nystagmus, deep visual deficiency and exotropia with compensatory torticollis. Lastly, in the consanguineous Portuguese family (F6), the two affected children (P9 and P10) had also showed a horizontal and torsional nystagmus and reduced visual activity. P10 also suffered from epilepsy and mild development delay. In phenotyping studies, the Spanish patients (P1, P2, P5) showed impaired platelet aggregation to mild agonists and reduced platelet dense granules by FC and EM. No platelet studies could be performed in F2. In Portuguese patients (F4, F5 and F6), the ATP release studies demonstrated a dense granule deficiency (Table 1). Molecular diagnosis was achieved, as a first-line approach, by means of HTS gene panels that revealed: a) F1 (P1 & P2) a homozygous deletion c.2054delC (p.P685L fs17*) in exon 13 of the HPS4, which had been previously reported in one Asian patient who showed BPF; b) F2 (P3 & P4): anovel missense homozygousvariant c.272T>C (p.L91P) in exon 4 of the HPS4. Remarkably, the phenotype of the two Turkish sisters was different, with one having had severe GI bleeding requiring colectomy, and the other had developed BPF. C) F3 (P5): a novel heterozygous variant c.2464C>T (p.R822*) in exon 13 of the HPS3 was detected; d) F4 (P6 & P7) and F5 (P8): here a nonsense variant c.307C>T (p.Q103*) was identified in exon 5 of the DTNBP1, which was previously reported in a Portuguese patient. E) F6 (P9 & P10): these patients carried a novel five base pair duplication in the single exon of HPS6, c.60_64dup (p.L22R fs*33). Conclusions This study reports 10 new HPS patients, which demonstrates the heterogeneous nature of this syndrome and the complex phenotype-genotype correlations. The novel HTStechnology has facilitated the molecular diagnosis of HPS in these patients. Among the underlying molecular pathology, we identified a novel p.L91P variant in HPS4 that is associated with a severe clinical phenotype.

Abstract:

The Hungarian folktale “Woman with Hair of Gold” is a part of what Nina Auerbach calls feminine mythos in Woman and the Demon. It is a story about the murder and revenge of a “very strange but beautiful woman with golden hair as fine as spun gold.” This paper explores how Bram Stoker’s short story “The Secret of the Growing Gold” reworks this folktale, stripping away its uniquely feminine voice, to create a story expressing British Victorian racial anxieties. The message of Teutonic superiority, which Stoker links with Hungarian folklore, is this author’s most dangerous and nefarious fiction.

The other patient had isolated absence of the septum pellucidum. The facial raphe and the absent septum pellucidum are related to cleft lip and septooptic dysplasia, conditions that have been associated with growth hormone failure. The association of the ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome with isolated growth hormone deficiency has not been described previously.
