Abstract
This study investigates the pores on the palms of female volunteers of Thai, Myanmar, and Cambodian nationalities. The participants were selected from ages 20 - 60 years, totaling 75 people. The research was divided into three parts: the study of the number of pores, the type of the pores, and the size of the pores. The pores were studied using a DCS4 forensic camera at a focal level of 0.314, and differences between nationalities were compared using ANOVA statistics. In a 5x5 millimeter area, it was found that the average number of pores differed significantly, with the highest average number found in Cambodian nationality (131±1.96), followed by Myanmar (111±0.98), and the Thai nationality with the least average number (94±1.4). In studying the type of the pores, it was found that all three nationalities have different open pores, but the average number of closed pores did not differ. For the study of pore sizes, there were differences in the average number of small pores between Thai and Myanmar nationalities, and between Thai and Cambodian nationalities. However, there were no differences in the average number of small pores between Myanmar and Cambodian nationalities. All three nationalities showed significant differences in the average number of medium-sized pores. Meanwhile, for large pores, no differences were found between Thai and Myanmar nationalities, and Myanmar and Cambodian nationalities, but there were differences between Thai and Cambodian nationalities. The difference of pores between nationalities were great benefit to forensic science, which in the future may lead to nationality classification.
