Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Healthcare Quality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Alzghoul Bashar
Published: September 2024

Background

Artificial intelligence embodies the ability of computers to emulate human intelligence and generate well-informed choices. Quality within the healthcare domain encompasses adopting proficient, patient-centric, secure, and productive services that are unbiased, comprehensive, punctual, and streamlined. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare quality. This study echoed the World Health Organization’s findings that artificial intelligence has great potential for distributed clinical automation, delivering efficient clinical information, and offering extra support in healthcare settings.

Methods

This systematic review employed PRISMA methodology and inclusion and exclusion criteria to search through central databases exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare quality. Specifically, this study concentrated on randomized controlled trials published in PubMed. The search process employed Boolean operators (AND) and (OR) and the main keywords detailed in the methodological section. As a result, two thousand five hundred forty-four sources were identified. The identified sources underwent a rigorous screening process, which entailed the removal of duplication. These eligibility criteria considered studies published in the English language, availability of full text, thorough description of the research aims, objectives, methodology, findings, and conclusion, the number of references, and general presentation. Out of 2544 identified sources, only 18 sources passed the eligibility criteria and were included in this research. The Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5, Mantel-Haenszel, random effect, and 95% confidence intervals.

Results

Overall, the studies were substantially heterogeneous at I2=92%, Z score was 1.93, and the P-value was within the range of less than or equal to 5. Therefore, the general studies provided a significant positive impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare quality. The heterogeneity was minimized through subgroup analysis, where the studies were divided about the objectives. Generally, 6/18 studies yielded an odd ratio of more than 1, reflecting the positive influence of artificial intelligence on healthcare quality. 12/18 studies positively used artificial intelligence in assisted healing or medication adherence, but none were statistically significant.

Conclusion

Artificial intelligence does not directly influence healthcare quality but helps improve other functions within healthcare services. Healthcare quality is comprehensive, encompassing evidence-based practice, patient-centric care, effective communication, care coordination, effective risk management strategies, health information technology, health promotion, and disease prevention.

The Short-term and Long-term Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Interest in Physical Activities in China (Preprint)
Authors: Ma Yiyuan , Zhong Xinyun , Huang Jianan , Shen Ting , Chang Jian , Yu Haiyue
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Physical activity is a critical component of public health, offering numerous benefits for physical and mental well-being. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and related control measures have dramatically altered daily life, potentially impacting public interest in different forms of physical activities and the corresponding exercise habits. Understanding how interest in physical activities has changed during various phases of the pandemic is essential for developing strategies to promote and maintain physical health in the population.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on public interest in physical activities within China, utilizing internet search data as an indicator.

METHODS

This study utilized daily search volume data spanning from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023, to track changes in public interest across three pandemic phases: pre-pandemic, during-pandemic, and post-pandemic. It specifically focused on different types of physical activities, categorized as outdoor exercises, home exercises, and gym-based exercises. By employing multivariate linear regression and fixed effects regression models, the research aimed to quantitatively analyze how public interest in these activities varied throughout the pandemic and assess the influence of pandemic severity on these changes.

RESULTS

After accounting for cyclical factors, significant shifts in search volumes were observed for various physical activities. During the pandemic, the daily search volume for Home Exercises surged by 2,759.088 (95% CI, 2310.236 to 3207.939; P < 0.001), while Outdoor Exercises and Gym-based Exercises saw declines of 562.160 (95% CI, -623.406 to -500.914; P < 0.001) and 478.895 (95% CI, -507.373 to -450.416; P < 0.001), respectively. Post-pandemic, searches further decreased across all categories: Outdoor Exercises by 478.254 (95% CI, -553.274 to -403.235; P = 0.003), Home Exercises by 1,115.101 (95% CI, -1664.892 to -565.310; P = 0.008), and Gym-based Exercises by 752.718 (95% CI, -787.601 to -717.835; P < 0.001), all compared to 2019 levels. Additionally, the severity of the pandemic impacted search volumes negatively across most periods and exercise categories.

CONCLUSIONS

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting negative effect on public interest in various physical activities, with a clear dose-response relationship that correlates with the severity of the outbreak. These findings underscore the need for tailored physical activity initiatives adapted to different regions and types of activities to enhance public health outcomes.

UNSTRUCTURED

Recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in medicine and behavioral sciences lead to common confusions about the terms used across the public and research communities. In the current paper, we summarize recent developments in this area and clarify the use of basic terms related to AI and machine learning in medicine and behavioral sciences, neuroscience, and psychology, including artificial intelligence (AI) - machine learning (ML) - deep learning (DL), prediction, testing - validation, overfitting, and regularized linear regression. We will provide practical recommendations for the use of these terms and related methods, and we hope this effort can help researchers in different disciplines communicate effectively with respect to AI analyses and translational medicine.
Teacher Performance Appraisal in Educational System: Issues and Way Out
Authors: Matthew (Phd) Ige Akindele
Published: September 2024

It is an indisputable fact that teacher plays an invaluable role in the educational system. Shreds of evidence suggest that teacher quality is the most important school variable influencing the achievement of learners. This paper examines the issues noticeable in teacher performance appraisal in the educational system. In particular, it examines the meaning of the act, the rationale for it in the educational system, and techniques for carrying it out, such as classroom observation, self-assessment, learning outcome measures, and use of the Annual Performance Evaluation Form, among others. The paper also examines the issues at stake which need attention, such as subjective assessment of teachers, non and low motivation of teachers, and non-use of the report of appraisal, just to mention a few. It recommends measures for improving the act, such as the use of the report of it by school administrators and government, provision of instructional and other needed materials for teachers, regular training and orientation of teachers, as well as the motivation of teachers in the educational system.
Confinement and Kink Entanglement Asymmetry on a Quantum Ising Chain
Authors: Khor Brian J. J. , Kürkçüoglu D. M. , Hobbs T. J. , Perdue G. N. , Klich Israel
Published: September 2024

In this work, we explore the interplay of confinement, string breaking and entanglement asymmetry on a 1D quantum Ising chain. We consider the evolution of an initial domain wall and show that, surprisingly, while the introduction of confinement through a longitudinal field typically suppresses entanglement, it can also serve to increase it beyond a bound set for free particles. Our model can be tuned to conserve the number of domain walls, which gives an opportunity to explore entanglement asymmetry associated with link variables. We study two approaches to deal with the non-locality of the link variables, either directly or following a Kramers-Wannier transformation that maps bond variables (kinks) to site variables (spins). We develop a numerical procedure for computing the asymmetry using tensor network methods and use it to demonstrate the different types of entanglement and entanglement asymmetry.
Mapping Controversies in Neuroscience: The Plastic Brain and “Anecdotal Data”
Authors: Petrov Kirill
Published: September 2024

The study of controversies is an important methodological tool for understanding key aspects of scientific activity that are invisible from within the science itself. Following Sarah Whatmore, we argue that controversies are a force field within which there is a redistribution of expertise. As an application of the basic principles of ANT, the mapping of controversies lacks the disadvantages of constructivist and epistemological approaches to science. While preserving the validity of scientific facts, it could demonstrate the practice of finding allies and creating new associations in the process of creating science. The analysis of controversies shows that a key feature of neuroscience today is a theoretical "consensus". The most important principle of this "consensus" is the idea of neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to be changed as a result of new experiences. The use of mapping methods allows us to show that this agreement hides a complex of controversies that touch on the problem of brain plasticity and theoretical models of behaviors. An attempt to explore these controversies reveals various strategies for finding allies within opposing research programs. These competing trends were divided into two groups: proponents of "universal" plasticity, which presupposes general laws for different structural levels of brain organization, and proponents of multiple plasticity. One of the most important strategies for expanding networks used by participants in the study is to reconstruct the history of their own object, as well as to attract non-specialists to obtain the necessary data for research.

Brave New Neuroscientific World: The History of the Future of Psychiatry
Authors: Bardina Svetlana
Published: September 2024

The paper examines Nikolas Rose's conception of the neuroscientific revolution in psychiatry. It has been repeatedly stated that the advances in neuroscience led to the radical transformation of psychiatry and that they will lead to further changes in mental health. Regardless of whether this transformation is considered as change for the better or for the worse, it is described as a radical move towards a completely new way of understanding and treating mental disorders. Rose's conception is remarkable since it focuses not only on the very transformation of psychiatry, but also on the discourse of radical shift, on hopes, expectations and evaluations of these changes. This paper examines and summarizes key ideas of how the discourse of radical shift - which in fact refers to the future - influences the way psychiatry evolves. The author demonstrates that this discourse is controversial, since it is based on an ambivalent concept of the future. On the one hand, the neuroscientific revolution in psychiatry is said to establish a predictable, calculable and thus governable future in the field of mental health. On the other hand, the expected radical revolution in methods of treating and preventing mental disorders is considered as inconceivable from today's perspective. Yet, the latter is the condition of the former. This paradox forms an integral part of recent discussions on the neuroscientific revolution in psychiatry.
To be like children in a world come of age: Some considerations related to a christian theology of childhood
Authors: Serebryakov Artem
Published: September 2024

The article presents an analysis of the main aspects of the Christian theology of childhood based on the works of outstanding theologians of the 20th century: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Karl Rahner, Paul Tillich, and Jurgen Moltmann. The preoccupation with understanding the figure of the child in Western Christianity is motivated by several factors: the undeniable importance of theology as a tradition of interpreting the existential constraints of the human condition, the deep influence of Christian teaching on secular concepts of childhood, as well as the need to stand in defense of theological knowledge against its reactionary appropriation. It is proposed to begin reflection on the problems of the theology of childhood with the question of secularization, which Bonhoeffer characterized as the world's coming of age. The symptoms of such maturation are a crisis of responsibility in an atomized society, powerlessness, and despair from being doomed to remain in a self-closed system moving towards its own destruction. In the eyes of theologians, the figure of the child turns out to be a symbol of the incompleteness of the history of the world and, in the context of Christian eschatology, of the possibility of saving humanity. For a world that has lost its historical dimension, the child comes across, in Moltmann's words, as a metaphor of hope. Theology emphasizes the intrinsic value and uniqueness of every individual childhood experience, while at the same time seeing it as an analogy of the universal relationship between the human community and God. The model of this relationship implies not only acceptance of the world and its law, but also reprehension leading to liberation from the law in divine love. In theological interpretations the Christian imperative to be like children appears as the cornerstone of universal ethics and political practice, which is necessary for humanity to overcome the catastrophic historical situation.
Healing the inner child: The psychotherapeutic trope and the anthropology of emotional religiosity
Authors: Khonineva Ekaterina
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to an anthropological study of psychotherapeutic discourse adaptation by religious specialists within the Catholic practice of spiritual exercises. Grounded in the therapeutic culture's notion that an individual's roots lie deeply within their family history and childhood experiences, this article examines how issues related to family relationships may surface during the development of psychotherapeutic techniques by religious groups. It also investigates the childhood images upon which these "syncretic" projects might be based. Considering the Catholic practice of spiritual exercise allows us to explore the historical roots of the "personal relationship with God". This concept appears in various spiritual movements from the late Middle Ages and early Modern period, which emphasized emotional religiosity, meditation, and imaginative practices. In the present context, the interpretation of the relationship with God and other agents of divine nature in psychotherapeutic terms is based on a combination of traditional Jesuit spiritual direction practices with ideas from psychodynamic theories found in American spiritual direction manuals of the 1970s-1990s. From this angle, the image of God is interpreted as a projection of an authoritative adult image internalized in childhood, and problems in the "relationship with God" are seen as a consequence of unresolved issues with significant others. Using one of the most important therapeutic tropes of the "inner child" as the basis for meditation practice, spiritual directors invite participants to envision a scene where a child version of their personality receives unconditional love. However, unlike the therapeutic version of the practice of "inner child work,” in the Catholic paradigm, the individual should neither become the agent of their own healing nor reparent themselves. The logic of personal responsibility and "parenthood” as its metaphor is replaced by the logic of humility and surrendering oneself to the divine will, i.e., true childhood. The article highlights the need to closely examine imaginative techniques in religious cultures and psychotherapeutic contexts, and questions the commonality in their epistemological stance on the nature and function of imagination.
Exploring gamma-ray and neutron attenuation properties of some high-density alloy samples through MCNP Monte Carlo code
Authors: Şen Baykal Duygu , ALMISNED Ghada , ALKARRANI Hessa , TEKIN H. O.
Published: September 2024

Effective radiation shielding is critical across various sectors, including nuclear power generation and medical applications. This study evaluates the radiation attenuation properties of seven distinct alloy samples: 316 Stainless Steel, Zircaloy-4, Monel 400, Alloy 625, Titanium Grade-5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Niobium-Titanium (NbTi) Alloy, and Haynes 230. Using the MCNP Monte Carlo simulation code and the Phy-X/PSD software, the gamma and neutron shielding capacities of these alloys were systematically investigated. Among the alloys, Haynes 230 exhibited superior gamma radiation attenuation efficiency. Furthermore, the Fast Neutron Removal Cross Section (FNRCS) values indicated that Haynes 230 (0.16375 1/cm) possessed comparable neutron shielding capabilities to 316 Stainless Steel (0.16758 1/cm) and Monel 400 (0.16818 1/cm), underscoring its robustness as a neutron shield. Although Monel 400 and 316 Stainless Steel demonstrated marginally better neutron shielding performance, Haynes 230 remains a formidable contender due to its balanced performance against both gamma and neutron radiation, making it a promising candidate for applications requiring comprehensive radiation protection. Moreover, the study demonstrated that Haynes 230 exhibited a significant advantage in terms of its linear attenuation coefficient, HVL, TVL, and mean free path (mfp) values, further solidifying its role as an efficient gamma-ray shield. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations highlighted the superior transmission factor (TF) of Haynes 230, especially for thicker materials, positioning it as an ideal material for high-intensity radiation shielding applications.

Dissidentes intelectuais negras: das encruzilhadas epistemológicas aos paradigmas anticoloniais
Authors: Pereira dos Santos Gyme Gessyka
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo integra parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado já concluída em que foi utilizada também a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica e documental, o objetivo foi estruturar uma análise epistêmica comparada acerca das produções de Bairros (1995), Fernandes (1989), Gonzalez (1984), Hahner (1981) e Nepomuceno (2013) que abordam questões relacionadas à mulher negra na sociedade brasileira, marcadas sobretudo pelo modo como cada intelectual articula as categorias: raça, gênero e classe, bem como o conceito de interseccionalidade. Gonzalez (1984) com exímio pioneirismo traz à baila discussões acerca das condições da mulher negra na sociedade brasileira, com um pertinente e aguçado olhar voltado aos marcadores sociais de gênero, raça e classe, além das fundamentadas e concisas críticas aos cânones sociológicos cisheteropatriarcais, classistas e brancos como: Gilberto Freyre (1933), Florestan Fernandes (1989) e Costa Pinto (1953) que elaboraram estudos distorcidos sobre realidades onde o racismo, o machismo e sexismo perpetraram-se, ao negligenciarem o recorte de raça em especificidade ao gênero, em seus estudos amplamente difundidos e legitimados, ratificaram a naturalização e o fortalecimento de opressões como o racismo, o machismo e o sexismo. Estas opressões combinadas potencializam as situações de vulnerabilidade que atingem especificamente o segmento social feminino negro.
Itãs bordados na pele: a representação de Iemanjá na construção do corpo-território de Rachel Reis
Authors: Mercês Marcos Welinton Freitas das , Miranda Eduardo Oliveira
Published: September 2024

No contexto da indústria cultural, os mitos e narrativas mitológicas desempenham um papel crucial na construção da identidade visual de muitos artistas. Na trajetória de Rachel Reis, uma cantora e compositora baiana natural de Feira de Santana, é notável a integração dos símbolos e ícones relacionados aos itãs da orixá Iemanjá em sua identidade artística. No ensaio fotográfico produzido especificamente para a revista Glamour em fevereiro de 2024, a artista revela elementos visuais que ajudam a compreender a sua identidade e conexão com a divindade marítima iorubá. Ao explorar o conceito de arkhé, conforme definido por Muniz Sodré (2005) como a base primordial que impulsiona a cultura e os rituais dos orixás, este trabalho busca investigar como a artista utiliza esses elementos, destacados especialmente nas fotos da revista Glamour, para construir sua identidade visual. Essa análise será embasada em uma abordagem semiótica, seguindo os princípios estabelecidos por Martine Joly.

Instrumenty marketingu w rolnictwie ekologicznym
Authors: Chotkowski Jacek , Czerwińska Małgorzata
Published: September 2024

Marketing stanowi niezbędny element strategii rozwoju rolnictwa ekologicznego, gdyż istnieje wiele utrudnień zmniejszających konkurencyjność tego rynku (wyższa cena zbytu, rozdrobnienie produkcji i spożycia, krótka przydatność produktów do spożycia). Podstawą programu skutecznych działań marketingowych powinna być specjalna jakość (ekologiczna). Celem pracy jest określenie podstawowych elementów strategii oraz kluczowych instrumentów marketingu operacyjnego, warunkujących w perspektywie zwiększenie udziału produktów ekologicznych do 10 - 15 % rynku żywności w Polsce. Działania marketingowe powinny mieć charakter kompleksowy. Pierwszą jego częścią powinna być prowadzona w imieniu całego krajowego sektora rolnictwa ekologicznego ciągła kampania informacyjno-edukacyjna na temat istoty i walorów wytwarzanych metodami ekologicznymi produktów, łącznie z przekazem, że technologie te chronią, a nie niszczą środowisko. Strategia marketingowa powinna opierać się na segmentacji rynku, współpracy producentów oraz bezpośredniego dotarcia do konsumentów. Niezbędny jest rozwój współpracy biznesowej producentów (grupy marketingowe) w celu organizacji zbiorowej sprzedaży pod jednolitą marką. Kolejnym nurtem profesjonalnego marketingu powinien być rozwój marketingu partnerskiego (relacyjnego) zmierzający do tworzenia trwałych przyjacielskich więzi między sprzedawcą a konsumentem. Wzorem krajów zachodnich, należy zwiększyć w handlu udział produktów świeżych, zamiast przetworzonych. Uwzględniając ogólne trendy zmian stylów życia, uzasadnione jest wzbogacenie oferty sprzedaży o półprodukty ułatwiające przygotowanie obiadu.

Przedstawione rozważania nad tematem outsourcingu obejmują jego teoretyczne aspekty, istotę oraz możliwości wykorzystania wśród przedsiębiorstw w Polsce i na świecie. Coraz częściej motywem do podjęcia współpracy outsourcingowej jest nie tylko redukcja kosztów – jak to bywało w znaczeniu pierwotnym outsourcingu – lecz staje się on strategicznym wyborem sposobu funkcjonowania danego przedsiębiorstwa koncentrującego się na swojej kluczowej działalności. Zaprezentowane dane dotyczą outsourcingu, który w ostatnich latach stał się popularny i coraz częściej wykorzystywany przez przedsiębiorstwa. Analiza działalności outsourcingowej wśród polskich firm pozwoliła na wskazanie głównych i najczęściej wydzielanych zadań i procesów biznesowych celem przekazania ich realizacji wybranej firmie (lub kilku firmom). Już prawie 3/4 polskich przedsiębiorstw deklaruje korzystanie z usług outsourcingowych, przewidywania dają pozytywne światło dla dalszego rozwoju tego rodzaju usług w Polsce. Charakterystyka obejmuje zarówno polski rynek usług outsourcingowych jak i rozwój outsourcingu na świecie. Zestawiono najczęściej stosowane rodzaje wydzielenia, branże najczęściej korzystające z usług firm outsourcingowych oraz przedstawiono charakterystykę poszczególnych rodzajów outsourcingu w ujęciu branżowym i specyfikę zorganizowania działalności firm outsourcingowych. Szczególnie istotne znaczenie ma poruszony aspekt wykorzystania rozwiązań outsourcingowych w dobie światowego kryzysu – czy outsourcing ma szansę przetrwania trudnych czasów. Aktywność outsourcingowa przedsiębiorstw (przedsiębiorców) ma oczywiście określone skutki ekonomiczne jak i społeczne, co w dobie światowego kryzysu nie pozostaje bez znaczenia. Analiza rynku outsourcingu w Polsce ukazuje pozytywne aspekty wydzielenia, prezentuje dynamiczny rozwoju i szerzący się trend popularyzowania na coraz większą skalę usług outsourcingowych.

Authors: Rathod Nagesh , Lamani Kumar D. , Potdar Milind , Reddy Uday G.
Published: September 2024

A field experiment was conducted at Research field of Ugar Khurd, Belangavi, Dharwad, Karnataka, India during rabi season of October, 2022–February, 2023 under irrigated ecosystem on deep clay soil to study the system of wheat intensification for higher productivity of emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum L.). The experiment was laid out in split plots design with three replications. The treatments comprised of two genotypes in main plot viz., Gokak local and DDK 1029 with and without seed priming and four planting geometries in Sub-plots viz., 30×15 cm2, 45×15 cm2, 20×20 cm2 and 20 cm2 (Recommended Package of Practices). The result indicated that primed seeds recorded significantly higher grain yield (3853 kg ha-1), straw yield (6426 kg ha-1), gross returns (Rs. 1,41,915 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 92,033 ha-1) and B:C ratio (2.88) as compared to un-primed seeds. The sowing of emmer wheat in 30×15 cm2 planting geometry recorded significantly higher grain yield (4020 kg ha-1), straw yield (6630 kg ha-1), gross returns (Rs. 1,47,989 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 1,01,742 ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.20) as compared other planting geometries. The combination of primed seeds sown with 30×15 cm2 planting geometry recorded significantly higher grain yield (4413 kg ha-1), straw yield (7064 kg ha-1), gross returns (Rs. 1,62,240 ha-1), net returns (Rs. 1,15,828 ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.50) as compared to other treatment combinations.

Tanah memainkan peran penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat dan ekonomi Indonesia, terutama di destinasi wisata seperti Bali. Pendirian bisnis oleh warga negara asing di Bali, khususnya di wilayah Kabupaten Badung, telah menimbulkan kekhawatiran terkait regulasi yang mengatur kepemilikan tanah. Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Peraturan Agraria dan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 46 Tahun 1996 secara ketat mengatur kepemilikan tanah oleh warga negara Indonesia (WNI) maupun warga negara asing (WNA), khususnya dalam hal penyewaan tanah untuk keperluan pembangunan bangunan. Namun, masih terdapat ketidakpastian mengenai pemahaman perjanjian sewa tanah untuk pembangunan bangunan, termasuk batasan waktu, perpanjangan sewa, dan status bangunan yang dibangun di atas tanah yang disewa setelah berakhirnya perjanjian sewa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan legislatif untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang kepemilikan tanah bagi WNA dalam pengembangan bisnis di Bali dan Indonesia secara keseluruhan.
Kata Kunci: Kepemilikan Tanah, Sewa Tanah untuk Pembangunan Bangunan, Perjanjian Sewa Tanah, Kemudahan Perjanjian.
IMPLIKASI PENGATURAN PELANGGARAN HAM BERAT DALAM KUHP 2023 TERHADAP KEBERLAKUAN ASAS-ASAS KHUSUSNYA: PENGUATAN ATAU PELEMAHAN?
Authors: Rizqiqa Larasati Dwi , Wulandari Widati , Putri Nella Sumika
Published: September 2024

Tulisan ini akan mengkaji tentang sejauh mana pengaturan pelanggaran HAM berat dalam KUHP 2023 berdampak pada keberlakuan asas-asas yang diatur dalam UU No. 26 Tahun 2000 sebagai UU khusus. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah hukum normatif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dilihat dari Pasal 187 dan Pasal 620 KUHP 2023, maka dapat dikatakan jika pasal-pasal tersebut sejatinya telah memberikan ‘jaminan’ untuk memastikan apabila keberadaan KUHP 2023 tidak akan mengurangi atau memberikan dampak apapun terhadap keberlakuan asas-asas khusus yang termaktub pada Undang-Undang Nomor 26 Tahun 2000. Hal ini kemudian diperkuat dengan ketentuan Pasal 622 ayat 1 huruf m yang hanya mencabut beberapa pasal dari UU No. 26 Tahun 2000, yakni Pasal 8, 9,36-40 tentang rumusan tindak pidana dan sanksi pidana bagi pengaturan pelanggaran HAM berat. Sementara dengan menggunakan teori kodifikasi & perspektif perubahan perundang-undangan pada Pasal 3 KUHP 2023, terungkap sebuah temuan bahwa pengaturan pelanggaran HAM berat di dalam KUHP 2023 berpotensi membuka berbagai permasalahan baru, mulai dari isu pertentangan asas hingga isu multitafsir. Ditafsirkannya Pasal 187, Pasal 620, dan Pasal 3 KUHP 2023 secara berbeda sejatinya dapat menimbulkan potensi berupa tidak berlakunya asas-asas khusus yang diatur di dalam UU No. 26 Tahun 2000, sehingga kedepannya bagi pengaturan pelanggaran HAM berat sangat dimungkinan tunduk pada asas-asas hukum umum yang termaktub dalam Buku I KUHP 2023.
Kata Kunci: Pengaturan Pelanggaran HAM Berat, KUHP 2023, Perubahan Perundang-Undangan.

Authors: Tsuroyya Chusnus , Nurtjahyo Lidwina Inge
Published: September 2024

Hukum pidana Indonesia telah mengalami pembaruan sejak diundangkannya Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana Indonesia yang baru pada 2023 lalu. Pembaruan tersebut tidak terkecuali pada ketentuan tindak pidana perkosaan yang diatur pada Pasal 473 ayat (1) KUHP Baru. Pembaruan tersebut mengisyaratkan bahwa paradigma mengenai tindak pidana perkosaan di Indonesia telah mengalami perubahan. Dengan adanya perubahan tersebut, penelitian ini berusaha untuk melakukan perbandingan hukum antara KUHP Baru dengan Sexual Offences Act 2003 Inggris—yang juga merupakan produk pembaruan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan analisis peraturan perundang-undangan dan analisis perbandingan. Berdasarkan perbandingan pengaturan tindak pidana perkosaan antara KUHP Baru dengan Sexual Offences Act 2003 terdapat beberapa persamaan dan perbedaan. Dari persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut dapat diketahui kelebihan dan kekurangan dari masing-masing pengaturan baik dari KUHP Baru maupun Sexual Offences Act 2003. Sehingga dari perbandingan tersebut dapat ditemukan beberapa kelebihan dari Sexual Offences Act 2003 tentang tindak pidana perkosaan di Inggris yang dapat menjadi masukan bagi pengaturan tindak pidana perkosaan dalam KUHP Baru di Indonesia, sehingga akan terciptanya hukum yang lebih baik (better law).
Kata kunci: Perkosaan, KUHP Baru, Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Published: September 2024

Perkembangan teknologi informasi khususnya internet berdampak kepada hukum pidana. Salah satu dampak yang ditimbulkan adalah kualifikasi barang di era siber. Perkembangan hukum pidana di Belanda khususnya Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) berkaitan dengan teknologi informasi bersifat progresif sehubungan dengan kualifikasi barang, termasuk kasus-kasus yang berkaitan dengan pemaknaan barang di ruang siber oleh Mahkamah Agung Belanda. Dalam artikel ini dikemukakan bahwa hukum pidana Belanda telah berkali-kali memperluas kualifikasi makna barang yang berkaitan dengan kejahatan siber melalui yurisprudensi Mahkamah Agung Belanda. Perluasan kualifikasi barang pada hukum pidana Belanda secara konteks meliputi saldo rekening, fitur permainan daring, dan pulsa. Yurisprudensi Indonesia satu kali memperluas cakupan barang dalam memutus perkara saldo rekening. Perluasan kualifikasi barang termasuk data komputer dalam KUHP Nasional yang mendasarkan pada putusan pengadilan tinggi Arnhem Belanda problematik sehingga bertentangan dengan semangat pembaharuan hukum pidana nasional.
Kata Kunci: Kualifikasi, Barang, Hukum Pidana.
