Authors: Pabón-Guerrero Santiago Eduardo , Benítez-Benítez Ricardo , Sarria-Villa Rodrigo Andrés , Gallo-Corredor José Antonio
Published: November 2022

This work presents the evaluation of iron oxide nanoparticles obtained from the aqueous extract of Eucalyptus grandis. Twenty-three experiments were carried out where the synthesis of nanoparticles was performed by using the aqueous extract together with salts of iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate and iron (III) chloride hexahydrate. A characterization was carried out by IR, TEM and BET, where bands were presented at 3,440.77, 1,559.26 and 445.31 cm−1, indicating the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles. A relatively high monodispersity was evidenced with particles around 9 nm. By means of BET analysis it was found to present a surface area of 131.897 m2/g. Obtaining nanoparticles by this green method presents yield values of 98%, with application in nanotechnology, biomedicine, environmental treatment, among others, making them highly versatile and their production cost is relatively low.
Space and Scale in Medieval Painting Reflects Imagination and Perception
Authors: Ruta Nicole , Burleigh Alistair , Pepperell Robert
Published: November 2022

Prior to the discovery of linear perspective in the fifteenth century, European artists based their compositions more on imagination than the direct observation of nature. Medieval paintings, therefore, can be thought of as ‘mental projections’ of space rather than optical projections, and were sometimes regarded as ‘primitive’ by historians as they lacked the spatial consistency of later works based on the rules of linear perspective.

There are noticeable differences in the way objects are depicted in paintings of the different periods. For example, human figures in pre-linear perspective works often vary greatly in size in ways that are not consistent with the laws of optics. Some art historians have attributed this to ‘hierarchical scaling’ in which larger figures have greater narrative significance. But there are examples of paintings that contradict this explanation.

In this paper we will consider an alternative to the hierarchical scaling hypothesis: that medieval artists used relative size to elicit empathy and to reflect the perceptual structure of imagination. This hypothesis was first proposed by the art historian Oskar Wulff, but has largely been dismissed since. We argue that artists of this period, far from being naïve, used sophisticated techniques for directing the attention of the viewer to a particular figure in a painting and encouraging them to ‘see’ the depicted space from that figure’s point of view. We offer some experimental evidence in support of this hypothesis and suggest that the way artists have depicted space in paintings has an important bearing on how we imagine and perceive visual space.
Teaching Legal Reasoning to Law Students in Pakistan: Need for Reforms in LLB Curriculum
Authors: Ali Muhammad Imran
Published: November 2022

Legal education is the method for preserving the rule of law, which is the fundamental premise upon which contemporary nations political and legal underpinnings are built. Legal thinking skills are one of the primary characteristics required of legal practitioners. It is also emphasized in legal education as a primary goal. In Pakistani law schools, the notion of legal reasoning is frequently addressed but rarely articulated. However, in Pakistani law schools, the actual teaching of a skills method approach to legal reasoning as a process and a concept has rarely been properly described. Legal reasoning is not included in the LLB curriculum, which is a fundamental flaw in the legal education system. Legal reasoning will provide law students with a skill that will help them to secure their careers and may be used in a variety of disciplines. This paper will argue that the existing LLB curriculum in Pakistan needs to be reformed and legal reasoning should be included as a subject.
El alcance del deber de sinceridad en el seguro de daños al momento de notificar el siniestro y de declarar las circunstancias y consecuencias de este
Authors: Hoyl Rodrigo
Published: November 2022

El artículo revisa la doctrina nacional y la escasa jurisprudencia relativa a los números 7 y 8 del artículo 524 del Código de Comercio que contemplan sendos deberes de sinceridad. Frente a la ausencia de norma expresa que determine cuándo la compañía puede legítimamente rechazar la cobertura por transgresión de estos deberes, propone algunas pautas que atienden a cuál sea el deber cuyo cumplimiento se pondera, la finalidad que este persigue y si las inexactitudes o errores en el cumplimiento de los deberes influyen o no en el deber de indemnizar y en el monto de la indemnización, debiendo evitarse dos extremos: que el asegurador exacerbe la importancia de cualquier imprecisión en la notificación del siniestro o en las informaciones posteriores y que el asegurado no haga el esfuerzo mínimo que le permita a la compañía conocer oportunamente la ocurrencia del siniestro, sus circunstancias y consecuencias.

El Arquitecto Luis F. Molina y su impronta en Culiacán: Entrecruces de una biografía y una historia urbano-arquitectónica en el contexto del Porfiriato (1890-1911)
Authors: Chiquete Beltrán José Daniel , Barrios Bustamante Angélica de las Nieves
Published: November 2022

En este artículo analizamos cómo la dimensión biográfica de un arquitecto y las condiciones propias de una época coincidieron para poder gestar, en tan solo veintiún años (1890-1911), una profunda transformación espacial en la ciudad de Culiacán, de modo que, aún después de un siglo, dichos cambios continúan siendo determinantes en la estructura e imagen urbana de la capital de Sinaloa, México. El texto muestra que los cambios en la arquitectura y el urbanismo de Culiacán durante las últimas dos décadas del Porfiriato fueron el resultado, no sólo de decisiones estilísticas, técnicas e ingenieriles, sino producto de los cruces de estos factores con otros de índole subjetiva y personal vinculados a la personalidad del arquitecto Luis F. Molina -quien se mudó de la Ciudad de México a Culiacán poco después de graduarse en la Academia de San Carlos- y de las condiciones sociopolíticas y culturales de la élite en el poder.Entre los datos biográficos relevantes del arquitecto Molina cabe destacar su historia familiar, frustraciones sentimentales y laborales juveniles, aspiraciones personales y condiciones de clase social. Esta dimensión biográfica actuó inserta en las condiciones sociales, económicas y políticas propias de la élite porfirista de Sinaloa, a la que servía, y que fue la promotora de los cambios espaciales principales a través de los cuales buscaba marcar la ciudad con la impronta de su poder y prestigio. Así, este artículo analiza los entrecruces de una biografía y la historia urbana-arquitectónica de Culiacán durante un tiempo específico, claramente delimitado entre la llegada a la ciudad del arquitecto Molina (1890) y su salida como consecuencia del triunfo de la revolución maderista (1911). Nuestro método de análisis es un híbrido donde predomina la microhistoria, pero en relación de diálogo y complementariedad con la historia de las mentalidades, la antropología simbólica de Clifford Geertz, el concepto de representación de Roger Chartier y los análisis estilísticos propios de la crítica de la arquitectura y el urbanismo.
What about sustainability? Adding the “S” to leadership and management competency development in the engineering curriculum
Authors: Ibrahim Nadine , Jamieson Marnie V. , Donald John R.
Published: November 2022

To provide a framework for engineering educators to map leadership and management skills development in the curriculum, the authors previously created a Leadership-Management Development Model (LMDM). In this paper we look to extend the model to include sustainability by using an “environmental limits approach”, creating a  Leadership-Management -Sustainability Development Model (LMSDM). Adding the sustainability dimension provides a contextual purpose for leadership and management development as it relates to creating and stewarding sustainable socio-technical engineering solutions. This can set a common language and a harmonized framework in the context of skills development and application in engineering practice to complex socio-technical problems. Ultimately the model will allow programs and instructors to map and situate the development of leadership, management and sustainability concepts in their programs in an integrated manner., and to examine learning outcomes relevant to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attributes (GA). Curricular examples are provided to give insight into application of the LMSDM in engineering courses and programs. Future work will include mapping the developed LMSDM to engineering curriculum at multiple institutions.
Achieving Deep Learning through Integration of 360° Virtual Reality Tour, Hands-on Experience, and Simulation-Based Design in a Project-Based Laboratory
Authors: Zhang Mingqian (John) , Croiset Eric , Pantazi Felicia , Ioannidis Mario
Published: November 2022

We present an integrated project-based learning (PBL) asset integrating 360° virtual reality tour, high-fidelity simulation, and simulation-based design for chemical engineering laboratory courses. The 360° virtual reality tour integrated with videos and learning lessons of distillation equipment components is based on a pilot-scale distillation column of the standard industrial design and an authentic separation system of renewable bioethanol. The dedicated simulation modules, tailored for process simulation and simulation-based design anchored on rigorous theoretical methods, provide students with accurate process performance scenarios and genuine process design practice. The unique combination of virtual reality and high-fidelity simulation enables students of all academic years to explore the connections among the process equipment and operation, underlying concepts, simplifying assumptions and sustainable design with high-level efficiency, depth, and flexibility. The integrated learning modules also contain content-appropriate learning activities and expected learning outcomes for all academic levels, and culminates in senior year as a project-based design laboratory focusing on sustainable design of equipment, systems, and processes, along with hands-on laboratory. Altogether, the integrated learning based on the exploration of the real-world process is structured to support efficient, student-oriented, and design-centric learning for students to acquire knowledge and engineering skills of integrated real-world systems and develop cognitive ability for problem solving. In particular, the integrated learning in the open-ended PBL with design component is expected to help students achieve higher-level learning outcomes and critical engineering skills.
Étude comparative des performances académiques d’étudiants exposés à une classe inversée ou traditionnelle : Méthodologie et résultats préliminaires
Authors: Terriault Patrick , Kozanitis Anastassis , Farand Patrice
Published: November 2022

La classe inversée gagne sans cesse en popularité depuis quelques années et des études montrent que les étudiants obtiennent généralement de meilleurs résultats académiques lorsqu’ils sont exposés à une classe inversée comparativement à une classe traditionnelle. Cependant, un aspect qui n’a pas vraiment été pris en compte jusqu’à présent concerne le temps que les étudiants consacrent à leurs apprentissages. En effet, certaines études soulèvent la possibilité que les meilleures performances académiques des étudiants exposés à une classe inversée soient la conséquence d’une charge de travail accrue, et non celle de la stratégie pédagogique proprement dite. Dans le but d’alimenter la littérature scientifique de données probantes sur cette question, une étude a été réalisée dans un cours obligatoire du programme de génie mécanique de l’École de technologie supérieure. Le cours a été simultanément offert à deux groupes distincts en conservant identique un maximum d’éléments comme les évaluations, le matériel pédagogique et le personnel enseignant. En fait, la seule différence entre les deux groupes est la stratégie pédagogique employée lors des séances de cours théoriques, soit une classe inversée pour un groupe et classe traditionnelle pour l’autre. Tout au long de la session, des données ont été collectées, notamment les évaluations faites par le professeur ainsi que le temps consacré aux études autodéclaré hebdomadairement par les étudiants. Une analyse préliminaire des résultats indique que les performances académiques des étudiants sont similaires entre les deux classes, mais qu’une différence émerge au niveau du temps consacré aux études. En effet, les étudiants ayant une moyenne cumulative élevée ont consacré moins de temps à leurs apprentissages dans la classe inversée, contrairement aux étudiants ayant une faible moyenne cumulative. En considérant les notes et le temps consacré aux études, les étudiants ayant une forte moyenne cumulative ont donc été plus efficaces dans la classe inversée, tandis que ceux ayant une faible moyenne cumulative l’ont été dans la classe traditionnelle.
Preliminary Results from a High-Resolution Analysis of Accreditation Data to Assess Indicators, Identify Predictors and Assess Equitability of Teaching Practices
Authors: Hosseini Mohammad , Vaez Ghaemi Roza , Potvin Gabriel
Published: November 2022

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CHBE) at UBC has undertaken a high-resolution analysis of its accreditation data with the aim to identify any correlations between students’ declared gender, visa status (international or domestic), performance in individual indicators, course grades, and/or overall program GPAs. The hope is to extract meaningful information about the value of the indicators used in collecting information about our programs, increase the reliability of the data collected by reviewing those indicators that do not yield actionable data, identify predictors of student performance, and identify biases, if any, in the success rates of our students.
This paper presents the results of the first steps of this analysis, using four core courses spanning CHBE’s programs. Correlations between performance in different indicators is represented by interaction heat maps and scatterplots, and performance by gender or student status are represented as violin plots. This paper serves as a proof of concept for this type of analysis, highlighting the value of this high-resolution look at accreditation data.
Tracking academic buoyancy after embedding a transition to university learning component into a first-year calculus sequence.
Authors: Abelló Juan
Published: November 2022

Not knowing how university learning is different from high-school learning often introduces challenges that can have a negative effect on first-year student wellness [1]. One alternative to help students develop the required learning skills is to embed this content into regular first-year courses [2].

We deployed screencasts on transition to university learning and student wellness (previously developed by Ostafichuk [3]) in a first-year calculus sequence for engineering students, and measured student academic buoyancy through the yearlong intervention [4]. Our aim was to investigate whether academic buoyancy increased through the year, and whether watching the screencasts correlated with any increases in academic buoyancy.

Results show that student academic buoyancy increased through the year. The increase was statistically significant and had a large effect size for students who completed all three surveys during this period. The increase was not statistically significant and had a small effect size for students who completed any two surveys, but our analysis suggests this increase was not by chance. Although the intervention was well-received by students, our data did not show a correlation between the intervention and the increase in academic buoyancy.

Limitations of this study include a small sample size, and our academic buoyancy data having been collected during the 2020-2021 remote learning year.
Understanding Feelings of Inclusion in Making and Engineering
Authors: Boudreau Justine , Anis Hanan
Published: November 2022

The maker movement is a growing social phenomenon that is being embraced in various fields, including education. There are many advantages to incorporating making into education, especially in engineering design, such as supporting real-life application of knowledge, multidisciplinary collaboration, problem-solving and teamwork. Elements that have not been looked at in the literature are the impacts of these making elements on students, more specifically on their feelings of inclusion in making and engineering environments. The extent of the impacts of making on project outcomes and teamwork in project-based learning engineering design courses are also contested. This paper will summarize a qualitative study conducted to explore students’ feelings and behaviours in a university makerspace and cornerstone engineering design courses at the University of Ottawa. This will be achieved by exploring factors that lead to feelings of inclusion in making and engineering and identify reasons students participate in these communities.
Developing and deploying an introductory equity curriculum for engineering
Authors: D'Entremont Agnes , Shelling William , Pelletier Jennifer , Gerrits Heather
Published: November 2022

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) education is critical for engineering students, as the impact of inequity and colonization in engineering projects and processes can have long-lasting and widespread impacts. There are two challenges to equity in engineering practice: Canadian engineers as a group do not fully reflect the diversity of the community due to various systemic barriers, and they may not have been trained to consider whose perspectives are missing. We had the opportunity to embed EDI education within a larger second-year cohort program and link it explicitly to engineering.

We created three EDI modules that were deployed in the 2020-2021 cohort. The format was video quizzes (introductory, asynchronous) and guest speakers with graded reflections (additional, more advanced content). The modules consisted of content concerning EDI in context, discussing bias, privilege, intersectionality, colonialism, race and specific racisms, gender, sexual orientation and discrimination in society with a special focus on links to engineering (including barriers engineering students may experience).

We collected pre- and post-survey data. Most students agreed that they were familiar with most of the concepts already (71%), but most students also agreed that they learned a lot from the EDI modules (74%). We attribute this to lacking familiarity with applying EDI concepts in engineering contexts. Two thirds (68%) agreed the content would help in their professional lives. When asked an openended question about the most impactful thing they learned, just over half of the responses explicitly mentioned engineering, professional life, and/or workplaces. This indicates that our goal of tying EDI content to engineering and professional activities was successful.

Overall, we successfully integrated an EDI curriculum into an existing second-year program, linking the content explicitly to engineering.
Integration of Core First Year Engineering Courses into Sequenced Experiential Learning: The Integrated Cornerstone
Authors: Doyle Thomas , McDonald Colin
Published: November 2022

Until the beginning of the 2020 academic year, the first-year engineering program at McMaster University was organized as traditional courses to form a common curriculum for all students. The first year core courses were organized as i) Design and Graphics, ii) Computation, iii) Profession & Practice, and iv) Materials. Regardless of which engineering discipline a student enters in second year, the core courses provide a common base for important theory and applications required for the engineering design and development process. The challenge with traditional course organization continues to be concept linkages and attention competition. The purpose of this new approach was to integrate the learning objective of each traditional course into one experiential course through sequential Capstone-style project learning experiences– creating the Integrated Cornerstone. As the name implies, the approach offers the foundational blocks in the engineering student’s education. Focusing pedagogy on a tangible outcomes provides the opportunity to incorporate creativity, self-efficacy, and fosters a sense of community. The Achilles’ heel to a siloed collection of courses offering the Cornerstone approach is that students find themselves immersed in parallel independent projects resulting in unintended distraction. The Integrated Cornerstone merges the core courses learning objectives for better focus of pedagogy. While pandemic restrictions have complicated the quantified comparison of pedagogical approaches between the traditional method of curriculum delivery vs. the Integrated Cornerstone delivery we present aggregate qualitative outcomes of student success. The comparison of approaches and lessons learned for integration will be of interest to other educators seeking better integrated learning for the application of engineering theory in design.
Students’ Perception of the Link between Their Courses and Future Career
Authors: Bagherzadeh S. Alireza
Published: November 2022

Reflective writing is known to be helpful in enhancing understanding, promoting life-long learning, and shaping students’ identity as future professional engineers. Students in a second-year chemical engineering course were asked to write a reflective paragraph, maximum of one page, on how they expect to apply the concepts learned in the course in their future profession as an engineer. This task was introduced to students as part of a term project that was due on the last day of classes in the fall term of 2021 academic year. The reflection portion of the term project was worth 2% towards the final grade of the course. It should be noted that this course was focused on technical content and there was no guidance provided on critical reflective writing.
This class is taken by students from four different programs including, chemical and biological engineering – process option (CHML), chemical and biological engineering – bio option (CHBE), environmental engineering (ENVL), and integrated engineering (IGEN).
The student reflections were qualitatively analyzed using coding and thematic analysis to identify the common themes and skills mentioned by students. The total word count was over 52000 and, on average, students wrote 253 words for their reflection assignment, with a standard deviation of 102 words, a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 629 words.
Six key themes were identified. The most common themes referred by students include “sustainability”, “general problem-solving strategy”, and “material and energy balances (MEB) as a backbone of process and product design”. These themes were specifically mentioned by 47%, 40%, and 27% of students, respectively.
As expected, sustainability was the most popular theme between ENVL students followed by CHML, IGEN and CHBE students. The prevalent theme among IGEN students was “general problem-solving strategy” as over half of them saw it as the main takeaway of the course. Almost one third of CHML and CHBE students saw this course as the backbone for their program and future career, where as only 25% of ENVL students and only 10% of IGEN students believed so.
Towards forming learning communities - Understanding the role of collaborative work in an undergraduate engineering program
Authors: Khan Rubaina , Romkey Lisa , Slotta James
Published: November 2022

Learning communities may form in the engineering undergraduate programmes through meaningful teamwork activities and positive experiences working with peers. This research study was conducted as part of a programme evaluation to understand how students conceptualised the purpose of a learning community. Through a thematic analysis of six focus groups with students, we have a better understanding of how students find value in maintaining relationships with their peers that they may have worked within team-based work. Each focus group consisted of students studying at the same level of the undergraduate programme – ranging from first-year students to recently graduated students. We synthesized data from these groups to guide inferences about why and how students formed communities with their peers, the motivations to maintain those communities, and any curricular interventions that fostered the sense of community. The findings of this study allow us to understand how a learning community pedagogy can be integrated into the broader engineering curriculum to provide undergraduate engineering students with meaningful and coherent learning experiences.

HELPING PROFESSORS CRAFT STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING STUDENT SUCCESS USING WEEKLY FEEDBACK FORMS
Authors: Liu Simon , Rahmani Mohsen , Variawa Chirag
Published: November 2022

Students’ success in their first year of an engineering program is of great attention and importance to engineering schools and students alike. While the influencing factors are complex and multifaceted, workload and wellbeing play an integral role in students’ success. Since professors can impact both of these factors through tailoring their delivery, in-class interaction, and workload expectation, the need for effective and continuous two-way communication pathways among students and professors focused on instruction, workload, and wellbeing aspects is evident. In this study, using weekly surveys covering the above-mentioned aspects and tailored to each week’s course activities, data was collected and analyzed to allow professors to understand the students’ perspectives on the assigned workload and effectiveness of the lecture delivery, along with additional information pertaining to the instructional environment.  The aim of this work is to enable students to obtain a greater degree of ownership of their learning using clear and continuous communication channels with the instructional team, as well as realize the value in student-centric feedback forms. The study has concluded with valuable insights generated, and improvement in student participation and survey implementation over multiple revisions to the protocol. Although the COVID-19 pandemic led to the premature termination of the pilot program, key insights will be carried forth towards the following school year, with an emphasis on tailoring surveys for online learning, improving implementation, and more defined recommendations to improve the course.

Published: November 2022

Burnout merupakan sindrom dari kelelahan emosional, depersonalisasi dan menurunnya prestasi. Kejadian burnout merupakan masalah yang masih banyak ditemui pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran. Ada beberapa faktor yang dapat memengaruhi terjadinya burnout salah satunya adalah lingkungan pembelajaran. Kondisi lingkungan pembelajaran yang buruk dapat menjadi stresor bagi mahasiswa. Stres yang dialami secara terus menerus akan menimbulkan burnout. Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan persepsi mahasiswa tahap akademik terhadap lingkungan pembelajaran dengan kejadian burnout di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tarumanagara (FK Untar). Studi ini menggunakan metode analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel studi adalah 174 mahasiswa yang diambil secara cluster random sampling. Pengambilan data dengan kuesioner Dundee Ready Educational Enviromental Measure (DREEM) untuk menilai persepsi mahasiswa terhadap lingkungan pembelajaran dan Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) untuk menilai kejadian burnout. Hasil studi menunjukkan persepsi mahasiswa terhadap lingkungan pembelajaran mayoritas lebih banyak positif dibanding negatif, yaitu sebanyak 162 orang (93,1%). Sebagian besar responden, 108 orang (62,1%), mengalami kejadian burnout. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara persepsi terhadap lingkungan pembelajaran dengan kejadian burnout (nilai p =0,635; PR=1,628). Selain itu, masing-masing aspek persepsi terhadap lingkungan pembelajaran dan burnout menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan, kecuali pada satu aspek yaitu persepsi terhadap staf pengajar (nilai p=0,007; PR=1,159). Oleh karena itu, mahasiswa harus dapat mengidentifikasi stresor dan segera mengatasinya agar tidak jatuh pada keadaan burnout, student support system dioptimalisasi, dan selanjutnya dapat diteliti mengenai pengaruh peningkatan peran staf pengajar yang berkontribusi memberikan suasana positif baik secara akademik maupun non akademik terhadap kejadian burnout pada mahasiswa.

Kadar hidrasi kulit merupakan salah satu parameter kesehatan kulit yang sangat dipengaruhi natural moisturizing factor (NMF) dan lipid interseluler. Terjadinya gangguan pada kedua komponen tersebut, baik yang disebabkan oleh faktor intrinsik maupun ekstrinsik akan menyebabkan penurunan kadar hidrasi kulit. Xerosis kutis atau kulit kering menimbulkan pruritus dan inflamasi. Fototerapi dengan narrow band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) yang digunakan untuk menurunkan inflamasi dan pruritus pada penyakit kulit dapat menyebabkan kadar hidrasi kulit menurun. Tujuan studi ini adalah mengetahui gambaran kadar hidrasi kulit pada subjek yang mendapatkan fototerapi narrow band UVB di Poli Kulit dan Kelamin Rumah Sakit Sumber Waras serta pengaruh dosis dan durasi fototerapi terhadap kadar hidrasi kulit. Studi ini merupakan studi deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang pada 10 subjek yang diambil menggunakan teknik total sampling. Subyek merupakan pasien poli kulit dan kelamin RS Sumber Waras yang datang selama periode Januari - Agustus 2020. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner, data rekam medis dan pengukuran kadar hidrasi kulit menggunakan korneometer. Hasil studi didapatkan kadar hidrasi kulit yang sangat kering pada seluruh subjek sebelum fototerapi dan kadar hidrasi kulit makin menurun setelah dilakukan fototerapi. Fototerapi narrow band UVB menurunkan kadar hidrasi kulit, namun tidak dipengaruhi oleh dosis dan durasi pemberian fototerapi.

Over the years, the African continent has been severely plagued by disease outbreaks, most of which have resulted in devastating pandemics. Despite having the greatest burden and impact of these disease outbreaks, regional efforts to develop and manufacture vaccines in the continent have been inadequate, with a potential impact on pandemic preparedness and readiness efforts in the continent. Given that disease outbreaks are still likely to occur in the future, we discuss the urgent need to intensify vaccine development and manufacturing in Africa based on the lessons learnt from emerging pandemics.

Published: November 2022

Corruption is a problem that is detrimental to state finances. The magnitude of the handling of corruption cases and the handling of the investigation process to execution will not be comparable if the corruption has a slight state loss. Unlike the punishing justice method with the current developments, it makes legal decisions on state losses with the restorative justice method against minor corruption crimes. Using the juridical-normative method, the authors look for available data on the mechanism and its implementation and the implementation of restorative justice by the  High Court in the Lampung Province Regions. This research's problem discussed criminalizing corruption from the perspective of restorative justice and how an advocate can apply the concept of restorative justice to corruption in Lampung area. The results show that Restorative justice is an alternative for resolving corruption cases because it provides a comprehensive and effective solution for retributive justice needs to fulfill the goal, namely the non-optimal return of state financial losses. The concept of state restorative justice as a public representative is realized only to punish the perpetrators (retributive justice).
