Published: December 2023

Penerapan hukuman mati terhadap masih menimbulkan perdebatan-perdabatan di kalangan ahli. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian dalam tesis ini adalah  bagaimana pengaturan hukum pelaksanaan pidana mati di Indonesia, bagaimana perspektif hukum Islam terhadap hukuman mati, bagaimana penerapan hukuman mati berdasarkan hukum Islam terkait undang-undang hak asasi manusia. Hasil pembahasan menyimpulkan Penerapan hukuman mati di Indonesia relevan dengan pandangan hukum Islam. Seperti hukum Islam dalam prinsip al-maslahat, di Indonesia vonis hukuman mati bukan hanya ditujukan pada kejahatan pembunuhan berencana melainkan juga pada kejahatan lain yang dianggap sebagai kejahatan ektra ordinary seperti teroris, narkotika dan tindak pidana korupsi. Pelaksanaan hukuman mati di Indonesia seyogyanya dilakukan didepan umum seperti dalam pelaksanaan qishash yang disaksikan oleh masyarakat umum. Hukuman mati di Indonesia dianggap tidak melanggar hak asasi manusia sebab selaras dengan prinsip relativisme yang dianut oleh sebagian negara peserta Deklarasi Universal Hak Asasi Manusia
Al minstens 30 medisch-psychiatrische units in Nederland: waarop wacht Vlaanderen nog?
Authors: Van Den Eede F. , Pinto C. , Peeters D. , van Schijndel M.
Published: December 2023

At least 30 medical-psychiatric units in The Netherlands: what is Flanders waiting for?

The medical-psychiatric unit (MPU) constitutes an important integrated health service for the diagnostic assessment and the treatment of patients with co-occurring somatic and psychiatric morbidity when the somatic problems are too complex for the psychiatric department or the psychiatric disorder complicates or prevents treatment at a medical ward. There are different types of MPU based on the level of acuity, as well as on the objectives and the service providing the actual care.

As yet and in contrast to The Netherlands, the United States and many other countries, no similar combined health service is operational in Flanders (Belgium). With the aim to improve the quality of care in case of any such moderate to severe comorbidity and to ensure the safety of care and the staff, the authors deem it advisable to set up MPUs in Flemish general and/or university hospitals.

Indisputably, any MPU is a challenging and multifaceted endeavour. Their efficiency and treatment outcomes require further research, most preferably studies evaluating views and findings obtained in clinical practice. Also, funding and management frameworks need to be developed to facilitate the organisation and operation of such complex care units.

Authors: Tampai Priska Alta Refina , Yulianto Tony , Yuliyanto Gatot
Published: December 2023

Disruption of water distribution through underground pipe is a frequent case. As a handling, a method that can detect disturbances from subsurface pipe is needed. Microtremor is one of the geophysical methods that can provide an overview of the subsurface. Processing is done with the HVSR method with input in the form of seismic waves in the time domain which is then processed using Geopsy software to get output in the form of dominant frequency values, amplification, and H/V spectrum. The data used in this study are primary data obtained from data acquisition with a total of 60 measurement points. The distance between points is given 5 dm with a measurement time of 10 minutes for each point. The study was conducted on pipe with empty, partially filled with water, and fully filled with water with a pipe diameter of 0,9 dm. The pattern in each pipe condition from the modeling results appears at a frequency of 0-10 Hz. The difference in the range of amplification values in pipe anomalies is due to different levels of water content which can be concluded that pipe filled with water have higher amplification than empty pipe and be showed in 3D modelling.
Efficacy of Social Media for Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Information by Youth in Nairobi, Kenya: Case of AMREF Programme
Authors: Ochieng Kevin
Published: December 2023

Social media has recently emerged as an increasingly powerful health promotion platform that could help, but research remains limited on its usefulness and practical applications in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) interventions. This study explored the efficacy of social media for accessing SRH information among youth in Mathare area of Nairobi using a case study of Y-ACT programme being implemented by Africa Medical Research Foundation (AMREF) in Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to analyze general patterns of social media usage, assess the sources of SRH information sought and accessed on social media, determine the types of SRH information accessed on social media, and examine barriers faced in accessing SRH information on social media. The study adopted the descriptive survey study design. Stratified sampling was used in the selection of members within the respective groups due to the group arrangements, followed by simple random sampling from the members in the groups to provide all group members with equal chances of participating in the research. To obtain primary data from the respondents, copies of questionnaire were distributed to the youth, and relevant group leaders and Y-ACT programme officials were interviewed by the researcher. Descriptive statistics was applied to analyse quantitative data, where data was scored by calculating percentages using Microsoft Excel software. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data by understanding, organizing, interpreting, and presenting emerging thematic patterns. According to the findings of the study, social media is increasingly popular channel of communication particularly among youth. Top social media in order of popularity were Google, WhatsApp, YouTube, and Facebook, followed by TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. Telegram was least popular. Additionally, findings from both primary and secondary data in this study highlighted the significant use by the respondents and potential of social media for accessing relevant SRH information, mainly on family planning.
Soft Power Diplomacy of Russia’s Encroachment in Africa: Stakes and Implications
Authors: MAFANY Christian NKATOW , LAILA Austine
Published: December 2023

Within recent years, Russia has arguably expanded her influence in Africa more than any other external international actor. These engagements extend from deepening ties in North Africa, expanding its reach in the Central African Republic, the Sahel, and rekindling Cold War ties in parts of Africa. This article gears at examining the strategies taken by Russia in the implantation of her roots in Africa and the geostrategic implications. From analyses made from research carried out, it was discovered that the soft power hands used by Russia in her diplomatic moves in Africa have been through irregular (and frequently extralegal) means in expanding her grounds. This has been through deployment of mercenaries, disinformation, election interference, support for coups, and arms for resources deals, among others within different parts of Africa. This low-cost, high influence strategy seeks to advance a very different world order than the rules-based, democratic political systems to which most Africans aspire from influence from the West. It was also discovered that the outcomes of Russia’s interventions in Africa, therefore, had far reaching implications for governance norms and security on the African continent.

Autonomy Support Within and Outside the Language Classroom: Evaluating Our Practices
Authors: Mynard Jo
Published: December 2023

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a meta-theory of motivation and wellness concerned with understanding how humans grow and thrive in different life domains. Using an SDT perspective, this chapter looks at how classrooms and self-access centres can be places of autonomy support which enhance learners’ motivation. The author makes a case for creating positive and autonomy-supportive learning environments both inside and outside the classroom so that learners can grow and thrive. Providing such environments involves considering the motivational style of the teacher and several other factors. The second part of the chapter contains suggestions for evaluating a self-access centre from an SDT perspective, including initial drafts of two instruments that can be used to guide the process.

Learner Development Through Peer-Group Advising in Face-to-Face Tandem
Authors: Wakisaka Masako
Published: December 2023

Tandem learning is a useful method in language learning, where the promotion of learners’ reflection is essential to their success. To encourage reflective learning in tandem learning, individual oral advising is commonly practiced along with another approach: peer group advising. This chapter examines the effectiveness of classroom-based peer group advising in a Japanese university while the learners engage in face-to-face tandem learning outside the classroom. The chapter introduces a qualitative single case study of a student who participated in peer group advising and practiced tandem learning at the same time. Based on the results of the language portfolio analysis, the student’s attitude toward learning Japanese changed positively in seven aspects. The results of the study show that peer group advising can enhance tandem learning, which results in the development of language learners.
Supporting Multilingual Practices in Self-Access Environments: Considerations for Language Policy
Authors: Thornton Katherine
Published: December 2023

Despite the recent multilingual turn (May, 2014), monolingual approaches to language learning continue to affect language policy and planning in Japan. This chapter argues that the introduction of more multilingual approaches to language policy in self-access centres can have significant benefits for learners. In self-access environments, practitioners have to balance creating supportive spaces for learners of various languages with providing opportunities for target language interactions. I argue that taking a multilingual approach to language policy can boost learner motivation by questioning the dominance of native-speaker ideals of language use. Such approaches can also enrich learners’ experiences by promoting linguistic diversity. I highlight the complexities that the multifunctional nature of self-access centres poses for formulating language policy, and suggest some ways in which linguistic diversity and multilingual practices can be encouraged.
Experimenting with English Learning Beyond the Remote Classroom
Authors: Murase Fumiko
Published: December 2023

One way of helping students develop their autonomy is to engage them in learning English beyond the classroom in addition to their regular classroom learning, where they usually have easy access to support from their teacher and peers. By doing that, students can experience taking control of the whole learning process. Such an experience can help them to acquire the skills necessary for lifelong learning. However, how can this way of learning be integrated into remote teaching, where all learning takes place outside the physical classroom, and students have rather limited access to the teacher, peers, on-campus facilities, and other resources? Taking this question as a starting point, this study reports on a one-year project on promoting students’ autonomy by encouraging English learning beyond the classroom.

Statu Quo Du Droit Disciplinaire Dans Les Entites Operationnelles En Sante En Republique Democratique Du Congo
Authors: Bwalya Peti Richard , Mong Yengo Hilaire , Kilufya Kisoma Hugues
Published: December 2023

But : La République Démocratique du Congo fait face à des défis majeurs en matière de management des ressources humaines dans le secteur de la santé. Les textes règlementaires régissant la discipline au sein de la Fonction Publique présentent des lacunes et des incompatibilités qui limitent la capacité des entités opérationnelles sanitaires à prendre des mesures disciplinaires appropriées. Cette situation a un impact négatif sur l'autorité et la gestion des ressources humaines en santé, compromettant ainsi la qualité des services de santé offerts à la population. Il est donc crucial d'analyser ces lacunes et de proposer des solutions pour renforcer le droit disciplinaire dans les entités opérationnelles en santé en République Démocratique du Congo. Cette étude vise à identifier les insuffisances du cadre réglementaire actuel et à formuler des recommandations pour améliorer la gestion disciplinaire au sein du ministère de la santé publique. L'objectif de cette étude est d'analyser les incompatibilités et les insuffisances du droit disciplinaire dans les textes règlementaires régissant la discipline dans la Fonction Publique de la République Démocratique du Congo, en mettant en lumière le manque de possibilités de sanctions pour les fautes légères des agents du ministère de la santé publique. Pour atteindre cet objectif, une analyse approfondie des textes règlementaires en vigueur a été réalisée, mettant en évidence les lacunes en matière de sanctions disciplinaires.

Résultats : Les résultats de cette étude ont révélé que les textes règlementaires actuels ne prévoient pas de sanction disciplinaire inférieure au blâme, première sanction prévue, ce qui diminue l'autorité dans les entités opérationnelles sanitaires dans ce sens que cette dernière n’est infligée que par une haute autorité ne faisant pas partie d’une entité opérationnelle.

Contributeur unique à la théorie, à la pratique et aux politiques : Il a également été constaté que des termes et des lois devraient subir une actualisation afin de faciliter la compréhension et d'adapter les sanctions au contexte actuel mouvant. Cette étude met en lumière la nécessité de réviser les lois en matière de discipline dans la Fonction Publique en République Démocratique du Congo, afin d'octroyer un peu de pouvoir disciplinaire et de responsabilités au niveau opérationnel de la pyramide sanitaire. En donnant plus de responsabilités aux unités fonctionnelles du ministère de la santé, ce changement profiterait à l'ensemble de la Fonction Publique et permettrait de promouvoir de nouveaux modèles d'organisation.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: To determine the spectrum of bacteria causing urosepsis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns among admitted patients with a clear diagnosis of urosepsis.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in General Medicine OPDs at the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from January 2022 to December 2022. Data was collected prospectively. We included a total of 800 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of urosepsis, the diagnosis was confirmed using >5 pus cells per HPF as a cut-off value. Samples were sent for culture sensitivity testing in the microbiology lab and after identification of the causative bacteria, the sensitivities to a spectrum of antibiotics were assessed.

Results: Out of the 800 enrolled patients, samples of 664 patients grew colonies, mostly comprised of Gram-negative ones. The gender distribution showed (54.70%) females as compared to (45.30%) males, with an age range of 18 -70 years. The species grown primarily is E. Coli 57.5%, Providencia Sp. 9.3%, Enterococcus faecium 7.5%, Enterobacter 7.5%, Klebsiella 2.4%, and a mixed growth pattern in 9.0% of samples. The sensitivity percentage for E. coli against Meropenem was 99.5%, Imipenem 99.6%, Colistin 99.9%, Polymyxin-B 99.9%, Fosfomycin 96.4%, Amikacin 96.7%, Gentamicin 97.4%, Nitrofurantoin 91.5%, Ceftriaxone 34.4%, Ciprofloxacin 31.5%, Piperacillin/Tazobactam 10.2%, Cefepime 39.1%, Co-Amoxiclav 19.0%, Ceftazidime 37.4% and Cefoperazone /Sulbactam 26.5%. 

Conclusion: The spectrum of bacteria sensitivity showed high sensitivity towards Meropenem, Imipenem, Colistin, Polymyxin-B, Amikacin, and Gentamicin; medium sensitivity to Fosfomycin and Nitrofurantoin; and low sensitivity against Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Piperacillin/Tazobactam, Cefepime, Co-Amoxiclav, Ceftazidime, and Cefoperazone /Sulbactam among patients with urosepsis.

Sidewalks are a relevant part of the living space in urban environments but are still rarely mapped. In recent years, the mapping of sidewalks has grown in importance among the OSM and academic communities as a matter of concern for many UN SDGs. To cover this gap, we propose a GitHub-hosted, fully open-source QGIS Plugin entitled "OSM SidewalKreator" to automatically draw the geometries of sidewalks for OSM crossings and curb crossing interfaces. The plugin workflow encompasses the steps of input area selection; data fetching, data cleaning, sidewalk geometries generation; crossings and kerbs generation; optional sidewalk splitting; and data exporting. Furthermore, the tool gives the user the capacity to have control over the process. Our tests revealed that the proposed method embodied by the plugin surpasses the manual process in many contexts, highlighting completeness, topological and thematic accuracies. We conclude that deepening, improving, and increasing the amount of open sidewalk mapping, mainly in the widely available OSM, can be a valuable asset to improve the development of accessibility and mobility worldwide.
Calidad de vida en municipios santafesinos: Dimensiones y contrastes
Authors: Gómez Javier , Tarabella Laura
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo propone un índice de calidad de vida (ICV) estructurado a partir de tres dimensiones “socioeconómica”, “infraestructura y servicios” y “ambiental” para evaluar y clasificar la situación de 55 municipios existentes actualmente en Santa Fe (Argentina) y de este modo lograr desentrañar contrastes territoriales. A su vez, se analiza si el comportamiento dispar del ICV se puede asociar con la magnitud, crecimiento o localización regional de los municipios. Las fuentes de información son el Censo Nacional de Población, Hogares y Viviendas de 2001 y 2010 (INDEC) y demás fuentes secundarias del sistema estadístico nacional y provincial, más información secundaria autogenerada. Los resultados muestran heterogéneo comportamiento del ICV entre los municipios y dispar influencia de las dimensiones consideradas. Los municipios con mayor ICV se ubican en el Centro y el Sur provincial y son de magnitud poblacional ‘media’. En el centro-sur, el rezago del ICV en las áreas metropolitanas de Rosario y Santa Fe es atribuible al déficit de infraestructura y servicios. En el norte, el bajo ICV se relaciona con el bajo comportamiento de la dimensión socioeconómica. Estos aportes brindan lineamientos para pensar un ordenamiento territorial sustentado en el desafío de reducir las asimetrías a escala provincial y metropolitana

El proceso acelerado de urbanización genera consecuencias ambientales y de salud como la contaminación del aire, los niveles altos de ruido, la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, la generación de residuos y aguas residuales, la pérdida de biodiversidad, el número insuficientede áreas verdes y el consumo de recursos no renovables; el aumento de las enfermedades respiratorias, de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, del cáncer y de la salud mental. La ciudad saludable representa una estrategia de la Promoción de la Salud para crear entornos saludables. La planificación y ordenación adecuada de las ciudades es la base para el impulso de esta estrategia que garanticen la disminución de problemas ambientales que afectan a la salud. Existen diversos enfoques que se relacionan con la estrategia de ciudades saludables, entre ellos están la Atención Primaria Ambiental (Organización Panamericana de la Salud), el Urbanismo Ecológico (Agencia Ecológica Urbana) y la Planificación Urbana, Medioambiente y Salud (Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona). Se destaca la participación de la comunidad en todo el proceso desde la identificación de necesidades hasta la propuesta de soluciones, la orientación de políticas públicas saludables desde el nivel local, la necesidad de generar información que se adecue a la realidad de cada territorio y el desarrollo de habilidades personales y concientización ambiental que permita conservar y proteger el ambiente, cuya consecuencia es mejorar la salud de la población. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los aspectos conceptuales y los enfoques teóricos para abordar la ciudad saludable desde la perspectiva ambiental.

La transición demográfica para el Estado de México se ha presentado en forma diferenciada a través del tiempo y el espacio. Este trabajo inicia con un análisis gráfico sobre la población general y por grandes grupos de edad para el Estado de México, que permite mostrar un panorama del cambio en la distribución de la población. La investigación aborda la distribución territorial de la transición demográfica, donde se determinan las diversas áreas correspondientes a las etapas de la misma. El análisis se generó mediante la obtención de porcentajes acerca de la población total de la entidad por cada grupo; en tanto que la realización de la determinación territorial de las diversas etapas de la transición demográfica, se basó en distintos métodos que dieron como resultado esta distribución. Los indicadores considerados son la tasa de natalidad y mortalidad, usando como base las variables de los nacimientos registrados y las defunciones hospitalarias registradas, así como la población total del periodo 1980-2020. Los métodos estadísticos empleados son el Valor Índice Medio (VIM) y de análisis bivariado Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la distribución de algunas etapas de la transición demográfica para el Estado de México se distribuye de forma aleatoria.
Conflictos y resistencias territoriales asociados al uso y acceso de los bienes naturales en La Rioja, Argentina
Authors: Montilla Pablo
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo, se interroga por los conflictos territoriales asociados a los cambios en el uso del suelo y el acceso a los bienes comunes naturales en la localidad de Vichigasta, La Rioja, Argentina. Los mismos se dieron en el marco de procesos de expansión de las fronteras de mercantilización de la naturaleza, de la mano de los alimentos de exportación y de la intensificación en el uso de los bienes comunes. En consecuencia, el presente estudio aborda estas cuestiones para el período comprendido entre 1998 y 2018. Utilizando una metodología mixta que incluye entrevistas a campo, metodologías participativas y el análisis de imágenes satelitales se construye la información que permite dar respuesta a estos interrogantes. Los resultados obtenidos permiten observar que en 20 años la superficie productiva agrícola aumentó, en Vichigasta, un 654%, quintuplicando la media provincial. En consecuencia, se identificaron conflictos y resistencias territoriales por la organización del territorio. La ausencia y promoción de espacios para la planificación participativa del espacio vichigasteño, resulto ser uno de las principales problemáticas de las disputas territoriales. La creación de una reserva se vislumbra como una estrategia para limitar la expansión, mientras los conflictos, dentro del lugar, no dejan de emerger.
Resiliencia y vulnerabilidad en un contexto pandémico.
Authors: Massachesi Nelson , Castro-Díaz Iván Ricardo
Published: December 2023

La resiliencia, entendida como la capacidad de un sistema para absorber impactos, se erige como una preocupación central en las áreas metropolitanas: instituciones nacionales y supranacionales desarrollan planes tendientes a tratarla a partir de la reducción de la vulnerabilidad. Por ello, este artículo focaliza en los cuatro aglomerados urbanos argentinos que superan el millón de habitantes: Gran Buenos Aires-Gran La Plata (AGBA-GLP), Gran Córdoba (AGC), Gran Rosario (AGR) y Gran Mendoza (AGM); el objetivo es diseñar una alternativa del índice de Vulnerabilidad Social ante el Desastre (IVSD) para calcularlo desde el primer trimestre de 2020 hasta el tercero del 2022 y así aproximarse a su resiliencia. Metodológicamente se acudió a los microdatos de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC). Ante las tres dimensiones que componen al índice (social, habitacional y económica), la habitacional es la que presenta mayor heterogeneidad entre los cuatro espacios siendo que el acceso a agua de red y a servicio cloacal destacan al respecto. Finalmente, tras postular la hipótesis que la magnitud demográfica está asociada positivamente con el IVSD, no se encuentra correlación pero el resultado cambia drásticamente tras eliminar al AGBA-GLP (el de mayor tamaño) del cálculo.

An aircraft without a human pilot on board is referred to as a drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aircraft system (UAS). Software-controlled flight plans allow drones to be remotely piloted, operated autonomously, or both. From small consumer drones for recreational use to larger, more complex drones used for commercial, military, and scientific applications, they come in a variety of sizes, forms, and capabilities. A variety of sensors and technology, including cameras, GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and occasionally even specialized gear like LiDAR or thermal imaging cameras, are installed on drones. Applications for them are numerous and include search and rescue, agriculture, scientific research, surveillance, aerial photography, and videography.
Drone technology in agriculture aids farmers in decision-making, boosts productivity, lowers resource input costs, and eventually increases agricultural yields and profitability. To properly take use of new technology, farmers must be trained in drone operation and data analysis. Additionally, while employing drones for agricultural, adherence to local legislation is essential
