Comparison of Indonesian and Dutch Laws on the Implementation of Euthanasia
Authors: Fitri Winda , Tan Winsherly , Putri Aulia Ginda
Published: February 2024

Developments in various matters cannot be separated from the regulations attached to them, one of which is related to euthanasia. Euthanasia in general is a treatment given to a patient to end his life intentionally with the aim of escaping suffering. Euthanasia is divided into two types, namely active euthanasia and passive euthanasia. Until now, the act of euthanasia still has pros and cons, including in Indonesia. However, there are also countries that have legalized this, such as the Netherlands. This article will raise issues related to the positive legal regulation of euthanasia in Indonesia and the Netherlands as countries that have legalized euthanasia in terms of human rights and the Criminal Code. The research method is normative juridical research with a comparative approach. The results show that legal regulations related to euthanasia in Indonesia have not yet been specifically regulated even though the act of euthanasia is absolutely prohibited. From a criminal law perspective, the act of euthanasia is subject to Article 338 and Article 344 of the Criminal Code, the implementation of which still creates uncertainty. For families who submit euthanasia, Article 345 of the Criminal Code applies. Meanwhile, the Netherlands has had a law relating to euthanasia since 2001 which is followed by procedures and conditions for its implementation based on Dutch Penal Code 293 and 294 of Dutch law. The formation of regulations related to euthanasia is necessary in Indonesia if it needs to be hastened considering the progress of the times and the mindset of humans who know information easily and can find out about euthanasia

Authors: Afriani Ikhfa Nur , Syah Rohman , Avita Nur
Published: February 2024

The understanding of the correlation between parental grants (hibah) to children and inheritance can lead to disputes and conflicts among heirs within families in Indonesia. This article aims to elucidate the correlation between gifts and inheritance, particularly parental gifts to children, from the perspective of positive law and customary law in Indonesia. To achieve this, the author conducted a literature review to examine and analyze various relevant sources on gifts and their correlation with inheritance. This study yielded the following conclusions: Firstly, according to the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and customary law, gifts given by parents to children can be counted as part of the inheritance. Secondly, the status of a child who is a recipient of parental gifts, according to the Civil Code, KHI, and customary law, does not hinder them from receiving their rightful inheritance.
The Law of Passorong Ownership in Mandar Community Marriage, Majene Regency: A Comparison Study of Islamic Law and Positive Law
Authors: Supriadi Supriadi , Ridwan P Muh.
Published: February 2024

The presence of Passorong in the Mandar ethnicity of Majene Regency is a gift of wealth from the prospective husband to his prospective wife to enter into a marriage. Passorong in terms is similar to dowry in Islamic law, which is a gift from the groom to the bride. This study is a field study with a qualitative descriptive research type. The source of data in this research is the Office of Religious Affairs in Majene Regency. The approach used consists of normative theological, juridical, sociological, anthropological, and philosophical approaches. Methods of data collection obtained directly from the field using observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. Data processing using deductive techniques with qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that the mechanism for giving passorong in the marriage of the Mandar community in Majene Regency is usually in the form of objects that have value or benefits. The mechanism for giving Passorong goes through several stages before the marriage contract, namely an agreement is made after the proposal process takes place, such as mattandajari and maccanring. Passorong objects given by prospective husbands to prospective wives vary, but are usually in the form of gold and land and coconut trees accompanied by land, real or converted in rupiah. The practice of giving a passorong is in line with Islamic law, giving a passorong is classified as a musamma dowry, because it determines the amount and type of item that is used as a dowry at the time the marriage contract takes place. While in positive law, legally speaking a certificate has not been issued in the name of the wife, in the Law on Basic Agrarian Regulations and Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning land registration that a passorong is in the form of land if to obtain eigendom rights over land must be certified in the name of the wife .

Authors: Sherchan Bipin , Baskota Prateet , Saud Mohan Singh
Published: February 2024

Ethical intelligence is the strength of a transformational society. As a change agent, the school leader is expected to be a representative figure of ethical standards. Unfortunately, they are criticized for their unethical activities. Therefore, drawing on the concept of ethical leadership, this study aims to construct the meaning of ethics as they have lived with it, thereby exploring the transformational influences of ethical strengths. Adopting a narrative inquiry research design, lived narratives were generated from four principals of secondary level (Grades 9-12) selected purposively. The narrative data were analyzed and interpreted using Starratt’s (2004) theoretical framework of ethical leadership of care, justice, and critique. This study explored ethics as the mutual value of individual, institutional, and social institutions. Human potentiality is the power of ethical intelligence that derives toward transformation. This finding sheds light on the importance and execution of ethical abilities. It shares ethical knowledge, values, and skills among individuals, schools, and communities. It also portrays ethical sensitivities, which are the core foundation of a transformative society with rational personalities.
When significant is not significant: Six clinical examples that disprove common wrong beliefs about statistical testing
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro , Mansournia Mohammed Ali
Published: February 2024

Since the original formulation by Sir Ronald Fisher in the early 1920s, the concept of statistical significance has been subject to serious misinterpretations. Despite more than 100 years having passed, these criticalities remain as vivid today as they were back then, if not more so. Given that the misuse of statistical testing in public health can lead to highly dangerous outcomes such as the approval of ineffective treatments or the rejection of effective ones, in this brief letter, we present a series of examples aimed at definitively dispelling some of the most common and erroneous beliefs about statistical significance.

Biodiversity credits are an emerging vehicle for pro-environmental financing. Here we define and delimit biodiversity credits, explore their impact pathways, discuss potential future supply and demand, bundling/stacking options, and needed social safeguards. We scrutinize early evidence from 34 pilots and suggest lessons from other market-based incentives for conservation and climate mitigation, including biodiversity offsets and forest carbon credits. These have attracted large private funding flows, but have been questioned regarding their additionality, permanence, and leakage. All these issues apply to biodiversity credits, on top of another challenge: rendering biodiversity commensurable. While new monitoring technologies can help quantify biodiversity, tradeoffs exist between simple metrics enabling liquid markets, and costlier ones more adequately representing biodiversity. To avoid past mistakes, biodiversity credit design, implementation, and impact evaluation require more robust crediting baselines, standards, and governance. Quality credits will be more expensive than those cutting integrity corners, which may dampen the expected biodiversity credit boom.

We aimed to explore feelings and changes in perception among people co-producing and viewing a photography exhibition created with people living with memory problems, who were participating in the APPLE-Tree (Active Prevention in People at risk of dementia throughLifestyle, bEhaviour change and Technology to build REsiliEnce) study, evaluating a lifestyle intervention aiming to reduce dementia risk. We explored whether and how the exhibition provided audiences with insights about everyday lives of people with memory concerns and challenged stigma around having memory concerns.Participants collaborated with a photographer/artist to represent things that were important to them, their experiences of memory concerns, and their involvement in the APPLE-Tree programme, through arrangements of photographs and accompanying texts. We surveyed thelaunch exhibition audience; and qualitatively interviewed the study team who co-produced the exhibition.Approximately 200 people attended the exhibition launch, of whom 97 completed the survey.We interviewed two co-producers with lived experience of memory problems and sevenacademic co-producers. In our thematic analysis of survey responses and interview transcripts, we developed three themes: (1) Increasing understanding by giving voice to participants: Seeing the people behind the work; (2) The power of visual methods to communicate research findings;(3) Leaving with a message of hope: spreading APPLE-Tree intervention messages.We discuss the value of public engagement created by working with older people with memory concerns using arts-based co-production, the impact of the exhibition, and its effectiveness in increasing understanding and awareness of memory concerns, memory loss and dementia prevention.
On the Exponential Diophantine Equation 7^x − 5^y = z^2
Authors: ZAMAN BUDEE U
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we address the exponential Diophantine equation 7x −5y = z2 , seeking non-negative integer solutions for x, y, and z. Usingmany congruence theorems and Catalan’s conjecture, we prove theexistence of a single solution. Our analysis shows that (x,y,z)=(0,0,0)is the only possible solution to the problem. We prove the validity ofthis claim by a thorough analysis of computational methods and conceptsfrom number theory. This outcome advances our knowledge of exponentialDiophantine equations and sheds light on how prime numbers andexponentiation interact in these kinds of mathematical investigations.
Tidally driven porewater exchange and diel cycles control CO2 fluxes in mangroves

Published: February 2024

Mangrove soils are highly enriched in organic carbon. Tidal pumping drives seawater and oxygen into mangrove sediments during flood tide and releases carbon-rich porewater during ebb tides. Here, we resolve semi-diurnal (flood/ebb tides), diel (day/night) and weekly (neap/spring tides) drivers of porewater-derived CO2 fluxes in two mangroves and update global estimates of CO2 emissions. Tidal pumping controlled pCO2 variability within the mangrove creeks. The highest values of pCO2 (2,585-6,856 µatm) and 222Rn (2,315-6,159 dpm m-3) and lowest values of pH (6.8-7.1) and dissolved oxygen (1.7-3.7 mg L-1) at low tides were due to enhanced porewater export. 222Rn and pCO2 in mangrove porewater were respectively 4-15 and 38-41 times greater than surface waters. pCO2 increased by 50±30% from high to low tide, 9±22% from day to night and 57±5% from neap to spring tide with clear changes on hourly, diel, and weekly time scales. Both porewater-derived CO2 and water-air outgassing increased with tidal amplitudes (r2 = 0.34, p < 0.05). Combining our new estimates with literature data, global porewater-derived (16 sites) and water-atmosphere (52 sites) CO2 fluxes in mangroves would be upscale to 45±12 and 41±10 Tg C y-1, respectively. These fluxes account for 25% of net primary production and 238% of sediment carbon burial rates in global mangroves. Overall, our local observations and global compilation suggest that porewater-derived CO2 exchange is a major but often unaccounted source of CO2 in mangroves – which can be emitted to the atmosphere or laterally exported to the ocean – and should be included in carbon budgets to solve global imbalances.

The Digital Divide in Action: How Experiences of Digital Technology Shape Future Relationships with Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Bentley Sarah , Naughtin Claire K. , McGrath Melanie J , Irons Jessica L. , Cooper Patrick
Published: February 2024

The digital divide remains an ongoing societal concern, with digital exclusion shown to have a significantly detrimental impact on people’s quality of life. Artificial intelligence (AI), the latest wave of digitalisation, is being integrated into the fabric of society at an accelerated rate, the speed of which has prompted ethical concerns. Without addressing the digital divide, the AI revolution risks exacerbating the existing consequences of digital exclusion and limiting the potential for all people to reap the benefits provided by AI. To understand the factors that might contribute to experiences of AI, and how these might be related to digital exclusion, we surveyed a diverse online community sample (N = 303). We created a novel measure of digital confidence capturing individual levels of awareness, familiarity, and sense of competence with digital technology. Results indicated that measures of digital confidence were predicted by structural, behavioural, and psychological differences, such that women, older people, those on lower salaries, people with less digital access, and those with lower digital well-being, reported significantly less digital confidence. Furthermore, digital confidence significantly moderated the relationship between people’s experiences with everyday AI technologies and their general attitudes towards AI. This understanding of the spill-over effects of digital exclusion onto experiences of AI is fundamental to the articulation and delivery of inclusive AI.

Authors: Maharjan Luna , Adhikari Anup , Pandit Ramanand , Kharel Indu
Published: February 2024

Internet gaming disorder is characterized by persistent, unchecked gaming to the point where it interferes with other hobbies, everyday activities, and has harmful effects. Internet gaming is more common among younger people. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of risk of developing gaming disorder, and its related risk factors among health science students of Kathmandu, Nepal. A total of 422 public health students from Purbanchal University in Kathmandu filled out a Google form that was distributed by lecturers and representatives via email, Viber, and Messenger between January to March 2021. Data were gathered with administrative approval and individual agreement, and SPSS version 25 was used for analysis. The study indicated that the majority of students (84.8%) had a normal risk of acquiring internet gaming disorder, but a considerable minority (15.2%) were at risk. Although the majority of respondents who played games had appropriate gaming behaviour, a significant percentage of them were in danger. The finding showed a relationship between internet gaming disorder and variables including gender, semester, internet use, game features, game hours, and game money spent. Video games are widespread in current culture, yet a large minority suffers harmful consequences so policymakers are advised to create regulations that promote healthy gaming habits, such as prohibiting minor players and limiting access to online games at particular times.

Published: February 2024

В статье проведено контрастивное описание семантических оппозиций определенности– неопределенности в выражении квантитативных смыслов в таких разноструктурных языках, как русский, казахский и английский языки. На основе примеров сопоставлены способы выражения категории единичности, которая состоит из трех базовых компонентов: квантитативности, предметности и определенности/неопределенности. Выявлено, что понятие определенности в сопоставляемых языках маркируется посредством универсальных квантификаторов, которые выражают совокупность. Особое внимание уделено семантике артиклей в английском языке и грамматическим способам выражения неопределенности в безартиклевых в русском и казахском языках. Авторами приведены примеры, иллюстрирующие процесс грамматикализации числительного один, бір, one. В результате исследования они приходят к выводу о том, что в сопоставляемых языках количественные значения выражаются посредством изоморфных и алломорфных способов кодирования определенности/неопределенности в узусе.

Abstract Aim. To assess the dynamics of clinical symptoms of endometriosis I–II stage (R-AFS classification) in patients with infertility before and after surgical treatment. Design. Retro-prospective cohort study. Materials and methods. The study included 55 women aged 25 to 43 years with a diagnosis of infertility and the presence of external genital endometriosis I-II stage (R-AFS classification) according to laparoscopic surgery, performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The dynamics of the pain syndrome were assessed based on the study of the pelvic pain intensity by the visual analogue scale (VAS) — from 0 to 10 points. The dynamics of clinical symptoms of the disease were assessed 12–36 months after surgical treatment using a questionnaire. A comparison was made of the data obtained during surgical treatment with the clinical manifestations of the disease. Results. Data analysis revealed a decrease in the frequency of dysmenorrhea in 16 (29.1%) women (p = 0.002) and a decrease in its intensity in 39 (70.9%) women (p < 0.001), the disappearance of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in 10 (18.2%) women (p = 0.014) and a decrease in its intensity in 17 (30.9%) women (p = 0.011), as well as a decrease in the frequency of dyspareunia in 6 (10.9%) cases (p = 0.046). The study did not reveal a statistically significant difference in the dynamics of some menstrual cycle characteristics (regularity, abundance, presence of spotting before menstruation) before and after surgery. The relationship between CPP, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia and the localization of endometriotic lesions has not been established. It was also not found any dependence of the surgical intervention type and the presence of pain symptoms of endometriosis. Conclusion. The surgical method is the optimal tool for treating endometriosis in the presence of objective indications: severe pain, ineffectiveness or impossibility of conservative therapy. Key words: external genital endometriosis, surgical treatment of endometriosis, laparoscopy, pain, infertility.

TEACHERS’ REPORTED BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHING, KNOWLEDGE, AND STUDENT’S ABILITY: CASE STUDIES OF FOUR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS IN PALEMBANG, SOUTH-SUMATERA, INDONESIA
Authors: Yukamana Hanni
Published: February 2024

This study aimed to explore teachers’ beliefs about teaching, knowledge (epistemic beliefs), and student’s ability. This was the first part of the study investigated the role of teachers’ beliefs in the implementation of curriculum reform in the Indonesian education system context.  This study looked specifically into three kinds of teachers' beliefs which were essential in the preparation of teaching in the context of policy reform. The investigation was approached through multiple case study methodology by selecting four senior high school teachers from different public schools. Data were gathered from interviews. The result revealed that four participating teachers shared similar views about the nature of knowledge and students’ abilities. Nevertheless, beliefs about teaching were varied among individual participants. Two of the four teacher participants believed in student-centered instructional models, which were categorized into teaching beliefs that supported curriculum reform. Nevertheless, the other two participating teachers’ self-reported beliefs about teaching were situated between student-centered instructional learning and teacher-centered instructional learning models. They seemed to value both instructional learning models. Their teaching beliefs about teaching could not be categorized into beliefs that supported or inhibited the reform.
