Rebalancing Military Spending for a Sustainable and Peaceful Future | United Nations
Source: United Nations (video statements)
War, conflict, and crisis. For ten years, the world has been shaken by inequalities, climate chaos and rising tensions. Against this backdrop, military spending reached a record $2.7 trillion last year.
This choice has a steep cost. It moves us away from diplomacy. It drains money from vital areas like ending hunger and poverty.
A new report by the United Nations Secretary-General explores how rebalancing military spending for a sustainable and peaceful future can furnish the security we need.
The report shows a stark choice: continue to fund militaries or invest in sustainable development to build a future that is truly secure for everyone.
We’re Ready for a Change: Preparing for New Technology
Source: US National Institute of Justice (video statements)
Adopting new technology, particularly new software, can often present unforeseen challenges to business owners who have limited experience with this process. In a laboratory setting, leaders not only need to prepare staff for change, but they need to strategically plan for product implementation up to two years before release. This session helps laboratory leaders understand the importance of the following steps necessary for successful technology adoption: defining their business requirements for the software/hardware both thoroughly and early; assigning a competent leader to the product development team representing the laboratory; and sufficiently testing the product to ensure it meets all requirements prior to release.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on February 13, 2025.

Validation of a Confirmatory Proteomic Mass Spectrometry Body Fluid Assay
Source: US National Institute of Justice (video statements)
While forensic DNA analysis can identify an individual(s) at a crime scene, it cannot identify the biological source from which that DNA was obtained – e.g. blood, saliva, or semen. Identification of the biological source of DNA can provide important contextual information for forensic investigations as well as evidence in court. Nearly all current methods used for body fluid identification are presumptive. Here we present a new proteomic mass spectrometry method for the confirmatory identification of blood, saliva, and semen.

Physical Characteristics of Spatter Stains on Textiles Compressed

It is well-known that bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) on textiles is difficult and subject to many errors or misinterpretations. In this webinar, we probe the reason for this and suggest useful information that a bloodstain pattern analyst may be able to extract from the observed bloodstains. The data set demonstrates the roles of drop volume and impact speed in bloodstain formation on textiles.
