No / The hair follicle, for all its highly complex morphogenesis and life-long cycling, generates individual fibers that can (given the right conditions) persist long after the death of their host, about whom they can continue to tell tales. Much of this robustness is embodied by the unique physicochemical structure of the hair shaft which limits any significant post-biogenic change. This chapter outlines the value of hair to both archaeological and forensic investigation, specifically highlighting the significance of the incremental rate of hair growth. This property enables retrieval of detailed time-resolved information for changes in diet and physiological change, toxicology, exposure to pollutants, and use of controlled substances, in addition to individualisation using DNA.

The main purpose of this study was to develop Inventory of Concepts of Good Death to explore the concepts of good death and the relationships among fear of death and concepts of good death in adolescents. This study used Inventory of Concepts of Good Death and The Multidimensional Fear of Death Scale to investigate the Junior high school students within the Taipei and Kaohsiung County , 600 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the subjects who were chosen. 495 of the 600 subjects were available.The data gathered from questuonnaires were analyzed by statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, point-biserial correlation, Pearson¡¦s correlation and interaction regression analysis.The main findings in this study were as follows: The concepts of good death included Physical, Perceptive, Affective, Spiritual and Socie-Cultural levels. Adolescents¡¦ fear of death and concepts of good death were up to the median. They showed the highest fear of death on Fear for Significant Others, and the best concepts of good death on Spiritual level. Adolescents who were females, personal religion was Chinese or western religious belief, parental religion was Chinese religious belief, being aware of good physical mental condition held better concepts of good death. Adolescents who talked about death publicly at home, had experienced the death of pets, were exposed to impressive death experience through the mass media like broadcasting and TV, have more death-relevant experience and held better concepts of good death. The fear of death in adolescents was higher and the concepts of good death were better. The fear of death could predict the concepts of good death when adolescents had less death-relevant experience. Based on the findings, some suggestions were proposed for teachers, counselor, parents, school, educational authorities and future studies.
