Promotion: Rights and Barriers
Authors: Dohal Gassim H.
Published: July 2023

No matter what position they are in, employees, especially academics, place a lot of importance on promotion. As a matter of fact, academic promotion is restricted by several barriers, some of which are arranged and created by individuals who are associated to and involved in the promotion process. These barriers are put in place to prevent the person in issue from acquiring financial privileges and/or social positions they might not otherwise have. Promotion process usually follows predefined guidelines that force the helpless employee to accept. The discipline could be exposed to regularly changed explanations that might be unfair.  In this article, I will rely on my experience because there aren't enough references and statistics. Discussion will focus on the necessity for clear standards and well-defined guidelines regarding promotion within the academy.

Medical Anthropology by Arthur Jores
Authors: CHIN Kyo-Hun
Published: July 2023

The main purpose of this thesis on medical anthropology by Arthur Jores is to evoke physicians the importance of psychosomatics and anthropological medicine.
Arthur Jores had made a great contribution to the development of psychosomatics and medical anthropology. He had criticized the contemporary medicine which had been based on the law of causality. He had empathized that physicians should give thought to the "homo patiens and inner cause of psychosomatic disease. According to Jores, a human-being is not a tool but a person that has a dignity. A patient will die when he loses his hope for life. Therefore, physicians should understand fully the patients and should cure the patient s psychosomatic disease not only by the medical treatment based on causality but by the growth of patient s own personality. In this context, we understand why Jores had criticized freudian's psychologism and that medical anthropology by Arthur Jores is based on catholic thoughts. Medical anthropology is completed not by natural science but by a full understanding of social, historical，spiritual world.
I think, physicians could be made better by attending to what is important and worthwhile in medicine, namely medical anthropology. An emphasis on medical anthropology could enhance the physician-patient relationship and also result in a more satisfying practice for exemplary physicians. Medical anthropology can thus enrich the practice of medicine by reminding us of our basic commitment for physicians.
Genethical Education of Genethics

Education in the field of genetic engineering is essential. Such education enables all of us to be better informed both about the science and about the ethics of genetic engineering.
This paper discusses the ethical education of genetic engineering, that is Genethics education.
This paper reviews the educational meaning, direction, objectives and its methods, it mainly points out the public understanding of genetic engineering is urgent. However, the education for public understanding by informing knowledge has basic problems in making their attitudes. For this reason, this paper asks Genethics education should be applied in school education system. Therefore, after analyzing the present ethics textbook in korean high school, I suggests the aims, curricula, and methods of genethics education should put into school education system.
Ethical Problems of Pre-implantation Diagnosis
Authors: KU In-Hoe
Published: July 2023

The ability to diagnose genetic diseases early in pregnancy has already demonstrated the power of remarkable forms of technology and stimulated innumerable ethical debates. Now the diagnosis of genetic disease even before implantation provides new possibilities and adds to the ethical problems we face. There is a considerable difference between the wish to have a child and the desire to have a perfect child.
As long as a pre-implantation diagnosis continues to require testing after embryo-transfer by an additional prenatal diagnosis test in order to ensure its results, at this stage of technology, there is no ethically sufficient reason to utilize pre-implantation diagnosis. At a future date, this problem must be discussed in greater detail. In this discussion, there is one perspective that must not be lost from sight: after prenatal diagnosis, at least theoretically, there is the possibility that a couple will decide to carry a genetically abnormal fetus to full-term. In the context of pre-implantation diagnosis and in vitro fertilization the decision making process for couples is eliminated; the genetically abnormal embryo will not be implanted.
The question of the moral status of human life in its early stages - of its biological, social and personal attributes continue to be philosophically controversial and in need of exploration.
Bioethical Issues in Xenotransplantation
Authors: KU In-Hoe
Published: July 2023

The transplantation of animal tissue and organs (xenotransplantation) is touted as one of the future options for transplantation medicine. This technology implies many unsolved practical and ethical problems.
The article summarizes those issues in xenotransplantation which require international efforts with special emphasis on safety regulations to prevent the transfer of pathogens from source animals to humans.
The most important result is the call for international guidelines, norms for reporting and compatible information technology. Means of risk assessment, risk management and risk prevention are necessary as public health tools to reduce or eliminate the risk of infection.
These are questions raised by patient monitoring and the implementation of archives, for example, or the economic aspects of xenotransplantation and the question of who is to bear the costs for international initiatives and public health safety mechanisms.
The article discusses the medical and ethical problems involved in weighing chances and risks are classified and discussed. Additionally, parallels between the debate on handling HIV in the 1980 s and xenozooneses today point to possible scenarios for future debate.

Published: July 2023

Adolescent health and well-being must be at the center of efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the World Health Organization in 2030. Another approach is needed by first looking at the quality of life of overweight adolescents and their physical activity behavior to provide suggestions for health interventions for overweight adolescents. This study contributed to test there is a significant difference in the level of involvement in participants' physical activity with the quality of life. Uses a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The sample is 80 overweight adolescents (13-19 years). The data was measured through a questionnaire tested for validity with a value of 0.9. The sample was selected using the snowball method according to the inclusion criteria and data analysis using the Chi-square test. The result of this study is Overall, overweight adolescents are in the low quality of life category 68 adolescents (85%). The most adolescent physical activity in the moderate group was 46 adolescents (57.5%), high physical activity 14 (17.5%), and low physical activity 20 (25.0%). There is no significant difference between the level of physical activity and the quality of life variable for overweight adolescents, p-value (0.3). Recommendations from this study are that various health programs need to be proposed by involving peers through programs increasing adolescents’ abilities and skills in quality of life and adolescents' interest in doing physical activity regularly.

Published: July 2023

Higher Education quality assurance is a planned and sustainable process in systematically improving the quality of Higher Education. One of the functions of quality assurance for tertiary institutions is for accreditation activities, in study programs accreditation preparation is an activity that often requires time, energy and the minds of the academic community. The problem that often arises in quality assurance activities is that supporting data and information that are required for completeness have not been well documented. As time goes by, there are more and more documents and the search for documents is getting longer, because you have to open documents in every folder where these documents are not small. The purpose of this research is to overcome some of the problems that arise, including good archive management, documents can be grouped by year or criteria and time efficiency in recapitulating all quality assurance documents. The method used in the development of this system is the Rapid Application Development method, which enables faster system development. Document Archiving Information System for Website-Based Quality Assurance in Informatics Engineering Study Program, University of PGRI Madiun, was created using the Laravel framework, while databases used MySQL. The tools used in the process of making this system are XAMPP for the database server, Visual Studio Code for the text editor. In system testing using black box testing which only tests software functionality, the test shows valid results and no errors or bugs occur.

Drogas
Authors: Abuchaim Alberto

O autor faz considerações sobre o uso de drogas na adolescência e de seu uso, de modo geral, como tentativa de manter emascarado um sentimento subjacente de infelicidade. Considera ainda o ser humano em face de sua imanente de-pendência, inclusive quanto à droga-adição, mas que, em ambos os casos, a euforia presta-se para iludir ou descaracterizar internamente o que lhe é inevitável, causando-lhe imensa angústia: a morte biológica.
trabalho de atravessar juntos
Authors: Silva Aline Santos e , Chiapin Giuliana , Vitória Juliana Corte , Cerri Siana Pessin
Published: July 2023

A partir de uma vinheta clínica, as autoras discorrem sobre a técnica de “atravessar junto” com os pacientes que apresentam profundas falhas em sua constituição psíquica. Discute-se o papel do psicanalista nessa relação, que seria o de, a partir da narratividade, criar novos significados para o analisando através de uma vivência transferencial que ofereça e sustente presença e alteridade. Essas duas posições articuladas constroem a base em que se sustentam os nascimentos que alguém pode vir a experimentar para ser. A presença do psicanalista que atravessa junto com o paciente seu processo possibilita ao EU nascer e renascer tantas vezes quanto necessárias. À função analítica, ancorada na escuta do mais primitivo do paciente, cabe permitir que o outro advenha para além de si, um saber que transmite que podemos atravessar juntos somente à medida que não nos sentimos ameaçados pela presença do outro.

When Disease Came to This Country
Authors: Piper Liza
Published: July 2023

Twentieth-century circumpolar epidemics shaped historical interpretations of disease in European imperialism in the Americas and beyond. In this revisionist history of epidemic disease as experienced by northern peoples, Liza Piper illuminates the ecological, spatial, and colonial relationships that allowed diseases – influenza, measles, and tuberculosis in particular – to flourish between 1860 and 1940 along the Mackenzie and Yukon rivers. Making detailed use of Indigenous oral histories alongside English and French language archives and emphasising environmental alongside social and cultural factors, When Disease Came to this Country shows how colonial ideas about northern Indigenous immunity to disease were rooted in the racialized structures of colonialism that transformed northern Indigenous lives and lands, and shaped mid-twentieth century biomedical research.

Legal Reform through Strengthening Protection of Communal Intellectual Property in the Enggano Community in Bengkulu Province
Authors: Fitri Rahma , Irawan Candra , Pradityo Randy
Published: July 2023

Communal Intellectual Property (KIK) in various regions of Indonesia, including Enggano Island, is abundant. However, there is a notable absence of visible protection for KIK on this island. Thus, there is a need for legal reforms or the strengthening of intellectual property protection in order to address this issue. This study aims to inventory and identify the forms of communal intellectual property protection, as well as the factors inhibiting such protection. The empirical method was employed for this study. The population and sample consisted of pa'buki (traditional leaders), tribal chiefs, sub-tribal chiefs, community members, and the head of the regional office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The findings of this study revealed an inventory of KIK potentials, encompassing traditional knowledge, genetic resources, traditional cultural expressions, and potential geographical indications. However, special protection measures for KIK potentials in Enggano Island were found to be lacking, with only preventive and repressive means being available for protection. The inhibiting factors affecting KIK protection included the condition of the area, a lack of socialization efforts, and limited government attention. Based on the study's results, it is imperative to develop an inventory of these KIK potentials and establish relevant agencies responsible for registering and protecting KIK in Enggano Island. This will help ensure the preservation and safeguarding of Enggano’s unique communal intellectual property.

Published: July 2023

Objetivo: La presente investigación evaluó la comprensión de lectura del inglés como lengua extranjera de estudiantes indígenas inscritos en un programa educativo de bachillerato en Jalisco, México, con el propósito de evaluar la transferencia de L1 (lengua materna) a L3 (segundo idioma extranjero). Metodología: Los participantes se expusieron a dos tareas lectoras. En la primera, debían deducir el significado de palabras y frases de un cuento infantil. En la segunda, se les presentó un anuncio y debían contestar preguntas respecto a las características y usos del producto anunciado. Resultados: Se encontró evidencia de que la transferencia de habilidades y estrategias para leer es un fenómeno que se extiende hasta L3. Sin embargo, dicha transferencia ocurre en menor medida y con más variabilidad que cuando se debe transferir de L1 a L2. Conclusiones: Las habilidades de lectura se pueden transferir hasta una L3 en tareas lectoras que emplean textos con estructuras textuales bien definidas socialmente como el cuento y los anuncios comerciales. Falta averiguar qué otras variables pueden potenciar dicha transferencia en sociedades diglósicas y su impacto en la promoción de una verdadera educación intercultural.

Published: July 2023

The total 3,630 foliose corals belonging to Pachyseris speciosa, Merulina scabriculata, Montipora verucosa and Echinopora lamellosa species were translated to restoration in Ly Son MPA. Translated hard corals to restoration were successfully and effectively rehabilitated by using techniques to attach fragment on dead coral substratum and concrete sink (reef balls). Mean survival rate of coral fragments ranged from 96.9% (± 2.7 SD) to 98.5% (± 1.3 SD) on the concrete sink and dead coral substratum, respectively. The growth rate of three species Echinopora lamellosa, Merulina scabriculata and Montipora verucosa ranged between 1.5–2.1 mm/month and did not differ between concrete sink, dead coral substratum and control (P > 0.05). Meanwhile Pachyseris speciosa showed a low growth rate of 0.9–1.5 mm/month which was significantly different between translated fragments and control (P < 0.05). The rehabilitation and protection activities of coral reefs in Ly Son should be continued and expanded, contributing to the protection of biodivesity and marine resource for sustainable economic development.

Authors: Hamaameen Niga Othman , Khider Adel Kamal
Published: July 2023

Bacterial meningitis is a leading cause of illness and death worldwide. It is crucial for clinical and public health care, as well as disease control, to identify the meningitis-causing agent promptly. Between June 2021-February 2022, a total of 100 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood samples were collected from suspected cases of meningitis admitted to Raparin Paediatric Teaching Hospital, Erbil city-Iraq. Cytochemical, cultural, and biochemical tests were conducted, and confirmed by molecular techniques. Bacterial culture findings were positive in 7% of CSF samples and just one positive among blood samples. The most common pathogens found by cultural characteristics and VITEK 2 Compact System were Staphylococcus sciuri in two cases  2%, Staphylococcus xylosus in one case  1%, Escherichia coli in two instances  2%, Enterococcus casseliflavus and Micrococcus luteus each in one case  1%. Staphylococcus sciuri, Staphylococcus  xylosus, Enterococcus casseliflavus and Micrococcus luteus were first recorded as bacterial meningitis in Erbil/Iraq. All isolates were confirmed by PCR assay. All clinical isolates were screened for some antimicrobial sensitivity, meropenem and tobramycin have been shown to be totally resistant  100%  to all isolated bacteria, furthermore, isolated E coli showed highly resistant  100  to cefotaxime, gentamycin, pencillin, ceftriaxone, rifampin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ceftazidime, erythromycin, ampicillin, and clindamycin, while they were sensitive (100%) to amikacin and imipenem as well as all the gram positive bacteria were resistant  100%  to optochin and sensitive (100%) to gentamycin, and trimethoprim.

This article discusses the competence of religious courts in adjudicating disputes over interfaith inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims. This can happen inseparably from the social and cultural conditions of people in Indonesia who are pluralism with various backgrounds such as ethnicity, customs, different languages, and belief or religious factors. But on the other hand, there are differences in views between the fuqaha regarding the heritage of different religions. If the heir and heir, both the heir as the plaintiff and the defendant, have differences in religion, then the practice of law enforcement in the court against the inheritance case creates a dispute over competence between the religious court and the district court. This study examines through legislation, legal literature in accordance with the research being discussed and uses Islamic law to answer the author's problem formulation by analyzing decision number 1854 / Pdt.G / 2013 / PA.Plg. The results of the research that can be concluded are that when viewed from a juridical point of view, religious courts are authorized to adjudicate cases of disputes over inheritance between religions. This can happen because it is based on jurisprudence 51K/AG/1999. The function of jurisprudence can be used as the best way given by judges to communities that have family pluralism as a solution in resolving cases of inheritance disputes between religions. However, when viewed from the normative side of Islamic law, religious courts are authorized to adjudicate inheritance disputes with parties of different religions. This can happen because it is based on the interpretation of Yusuf Al-Qardawi and the ijtihad of the supreme court for a sense of justice for families whose pluralism of beliefs. The inheritance is not counted as heirs but is counted as a mandatory will of no more than 1/3 part.

The article provides an example of how, using information and communication technologies, it is possible to carry out internal corporate training in an educational organization, aimed at the final point request of modern challenges of the education system. The proposed option for conducting an interactive training seminar (teachers' council) using the developed software product makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of training, since each teacher "lives through" all stages of learning in action. Teamwork allows you to increase the level of team cohesion, which is also important in the digital age. The practice of seminars held in two different educational institutions suggests that the project is scalable. After the seminar, each participant can take with him the completed work and refer to it at any time.

There are cassava farmers in Pendawa 1 Farmer Group located in Candi Rejo Village, Sibiru-biru District, Deli Serdang Regency. The resulting cassava is usually processed by women into Opak crackers (chips from flour with cassava). In the process of making Opak, it will produce cassava peel waste. The farmers have never treated the cassava peel waste, besides that cow dung waste is also left piled up near the cow cage. The main factor that underlies the farmer's not to carry out waste treatment because they do not have a place or area to process the waste. Thus, this problem must be addressed immediately so that the farmer group can carry out circular agriculture in agriculture and animal husbandry. The purpose of this activity is to form or develop a group of farmers who are economically and socially independent, help create peace and comfort in community life and improve the skills of members of the Pendawa 1 Farmer Group in managing waste into compost. The result of this activity is to build a simple composting house with a special design measuring 6m x 4m as an area to process waste into compost.
The Art and Science of Rain Barrels: A Service Learning Approach to Youth Watershed Action
Authors: Rector Patricia , Lyons Rachel , Yost Theresa
Published: July 2023

Using an interdisciplinary approach to water resource education, 4-H Youth Development and Environmental Extension agents enlisted 4-H teens to connect local watershed education with social action. Teens participated in a dynamic service learning project that included learning about nonpoint source pollution; constructing, decorating, and teaching families about rain barrels; and selling the barrels at the county fair. The program resulted in significant knowledge increase among the teens. Furthermore, rain barrel installation rates were higher than the average rates of similar Extension programs. This program, while small in scale, illustrates the potential of employing teens as teachers in interdisciplinary Extension programs.
Teaching Medical Ethics and Critical Thinking
Authors: CHOI Kyung-Suk
Published: July 2023

There may be three different educational purposes in teaching a course of medical ethics. One is to teach knowledge or information such as regulation relevant to medical ethics, ethical principles, or arguments in ethical issues. Another is to internalize some values or morality. The other is to improve a student's abilities of thinking and communication. I argue for the last purpose because it is effective in cultivating a student's disposition to make his/her moral judgment for him/herself with the acquisition of relevant knowledge or information. This cultivation will serve the other purposes in the long run.
As a method to improve abilities of thinking and communication, I emphasize critical thinking. Critical thinking is a mode of thinking in which one improves his/her thinking considering its elements and assessing them by standards. The elements of thinking are problem, conclusion, concepts, information, assumption, perspectives, implication, context, and purpose. The standards are clarity, precision, accuracy, importance, relevance, logicalness, sufficiency, depth, breadth, and fairness. I explain these elements and standards applying them to the issue of euthanasia.
In addition, I emphasize a teaching method based on conversation between a teacher and students. I also suggest some requirements that students must satisfy in their papers. A student has to explain the importance of an issue he/she considers, express his/her conclusion, provide reasons explaining some concepts and using relevant information such as data, cases, or experience, and respond to the strongest objections to his/her claim.
