Title of the Congress : XXIV International Symposium on Morphological Sciences
Title of your Abstract : The determination of correlation between stature and upper limb and hand measurements in Iranian adults
Country : Turkey
From : Wednesday, September 2, 2015
To : Sunday, September 6, 2015
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction:: Estimation of stature is an important issue, which is significantly considered in forensic anthropology. It will be difficult to predict the identification of an individual when only some parts of dead body are discovered following disasters or criminal events.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between stature and upper limb and hand length in Iranian adults to generate regression formulae for stature estimation. 
Materials & Methods :Three anthropometric measurements; Stature, Upper Limb Length (ULL) and Hand Length (HL) were taken on the subjects, comprising 142 male students (18-25 years) using standard measuring instruments. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16. 
Results:Then linear regression models were used to estimate stature. The results indicated a positive correlation between stature and upper limb and hand measurements.The correlation coefficient with upper limb length was r = 0.89 & p =0.0001 and with hand length was r= 0.78 & p =0.0001.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we found the strong correlation between stature and upper limb and hand length. The regression analysis also showed that the Upper Limb Length give better prediction of stature in compare to Hand length measurements.
Keywords of your Abstract : stature, upper limb length, hand length, regression equation, Forensic anthropology

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : A person who was Turkish wanted to have collaboration with us and it is supposed to rewrite an article that we had worked on the similar topic. Then we found some new idea for setting up in our group.
Finally we were interested to hold next International Symposium on Morphological Sciences in Iran.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : There was no difficulty to provide accomodation and etc.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The place was not appropriate for the congress and also the was no announcement which show the way to congress location .It makes us so confused to find that place. People who were in reception desk didn't know English very well. Halls in which lecturer present were not acceptable in air condition but hall in main campus was good Although these bad things, that was a good experience for me especially about new researches that are presents in congress which are related to my major and of course my nice co-travelers.
