Pode-se afirmar que os Projetos de Extensões Universitárias possuem um grande valor comunitário, uma vez que, as oportunidades que são dispostas durante as práticas extensionistas agregam tanto no desenvolvimento técnico-humano do discente e docente, quanto nas necessidades sociais que caracterizam aquela realidade que o projeto da Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) está inserido. Essa revisão literária tem como objetivo apresentar quais são os impactos positivos que as extensões propiciam na vida acadêmica dos estudantes dos diversos cursos. Foi observado nos diferentes artigos, a fundamentação teórica dos estudos realizados por Oliveira (2015) e Alves et al. (2016), visto que tais projetos integram de modo efetivo o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão, resultando assim no estabelecimento das cinco diretrizes do Plano Nacional de Extensão Universitária. Ocorreu como método de revisão uma pesquisa integrativa da literatura através dos artigos publicados nas bases de dados: SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) e BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde) entre os anos de 2019 e 2023, dessa forma foram encontrados 52 publicações. Foram utilizados critérios de inclusão e exclusão posteriormente descritos para selecionar os 08 estudos de revisão final. Por meio desse, ficou incontestável o valor que o projeto de extensão possui diante da jornada acadêmica e profissional, ofertada através das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). Sendo, ainda assim, relevante, a produção de mais artigos científicos apontando os benefícios que as ações extensionistas dispõem com a participação dos discentes das diversas áreas acadêmicas.
Diversificación en el pentecostalismo contemporáneo chileno: un estudio de caso en sectores de altos ingresos
Authors: Bravo Vega Fabián
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo analiza los resultados obtenidos de una investigación empírica realizada en una iglesia evangélica en sectores de altos ingresos en la Región Metropolitana, Chile. El objetivo es constatar el rendimiento teórico que ofrece la categoría neopentecostalismo —la cual se entiende como una variante del pentecostalismo que resignifica su doctrina en función de un contexto neoliberal— para la comprensión de nuevas formas de religiosidad pentecostal contemporánea al ajustarse a este caso particular, o si, en cambio, exige una categorización distinta, contrastando los principales planteamientos de autores latinoamericanos con el estudio de caso. El enfoque metodológico utilizado incluyó el método etnográfico, entrevistas en profundidad y observación participante. De este modo, se propone que el nivel de especificidad del contexto chileno requiere de un tratamiento exclusivo para su tipologización.
La Iglesia Pentecostal: Comunidad de Mujeres
Authors: Orellana Zicri
Published: June 2024

El siguiente trabajo tiene el propósito de ofrecer una reflexión sobre la participación de lasmujeres en el mundo pentecostal, haciendo una lectura desde la teoría de género,fundamentalmente desde la relación masculino/público-femenino/privado que propone la idea deque los espacios se jerarquizan, otorgando mayor prestigio a lo masculino. En el texto se ofrece un análisis sobre la participación femenina pentecostal, la que destacasignificativamente por sobre la masculina, no obstante estas son excluídas de la toma dedecisiones. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta exclusión, este espacio comunitario-femenino, pareciera servirles a estas para tolerar la difícil realidad que significa vivir en zonas de pobreza ymarginalidad.

Canonizaciones y moralidades en contextos de pobreza urbana. Las lógicas del orden y la transgresión en la Argentina de fines del siglo XX
Authors: Miguez Daniel
Published: June 2024

Desde mediados de los años setenta y hasta el primer lustro del siglo XXI la argentina sufrió una profunda transformación en su estructura social, particularmente en los niveles y tipos de pobreza urbana. Las transformaciones del campo religioso acompañaron esos cambios, no como una respuesta mecánica a ellos, sino como reelaboraciones de sentido a partir de los cuales los sectores más afectados por la crisis buscaban resituarse frente a ella. Este trabajo compara el crecimiento de los ministerios pentecostales ocurridos al principio del proceso con la mayor presencia de devociones populares, sobre todo de jóvenes en conflicto con la ley, durante los años finales de este proceso justamente como puntos extremos de esas reelaboraciones de los sistemas de creencias de los sectores sociales más postergados.
Prácticas religiosas en contextos de migración: El caso de los ecuatorianos en Milán
Authors: Lara Reyes Ruth
Published: June 2024

En el presente artículo se exploran las formas de participación de los migrantes ecuatorianos en Milán desde una perspectiva religiosa-cultural. En un primer momento se revisan las modificaciones que se ha producido dentro de la institución católica italiana a raíz de la llegada masiva de extranjeros a este país. En segundo lugar se analiza, cómo la comunidad migrante ecuatoriana ha logrado adaptar sus modos de vivir religioso en el lugar de recepción y cómo ha reconstruido sus prácticas religiosas del país de origen. También se revisan aquellos conflictos, tensiones y modos de relacionamiento asimétrico entre los migrantes en torno a la preparación de una fiesta religiosa así como las negociaciones con la sociedad receptora para alcanzar el reconocimiento social y hacer posible la legitimación de sus prácticas.
La producción cultural del imaginario esotérico. Una visita desde Buenos Aires
Authors: Wright Pablo , Messineo María Cristina
Published: June 2024

En este trabajo, a partir de investigaciones de campo antropológicas, nos proponemos analizar tres instituciones que se ubican en posiciones periféricas del campo religioso argentino. Las características distintivas de estos grupos es que pueden catalogarse analíticamente como esotéricos, porque sus imaginarios y rituales se entroncan con tradiciones del hermetismo y ocultismo occidental, reelaborando ideas centrales del positivismo espiritualista del siglo XIX. Exploramos aquí los casos de la Escuela Científica Basilio, la Sociedad Teosófica y la Orden Rosacruz AMORC, profundizando especialmente en sus imaginarios, principales aspectos doctrinales, rituales, y presentación en el campo religioso. Identificamos así sus nociones de tiempo e historia que se vinculan con una concepción sacralizada de los orígenes de sus tradiciones, que pueden definirse como pertenencia remota. Asimismo, dentro de las maniobras de presentación pública en el campo religioso, identificamos formas de identidad precautoria, que aseguran su posición relativa en él, frente a los estigmas sociales que se tienen sobre lo esotérico, generados por los actores institucionales hegemónicos como la Iglesia Católica y otros cristianismos de raigambre protestante. La idea es hacer visibles a los estudios académicos de la religión, grupos e instituciones poco conocidos en el país, que expresan aspectos filosóficos, sociológicos y ontológicos de gran riqueza cultural.
TEMBLORES Y OTRAS MANIFESTACIONES DE LA ENERGIA. LA TECNICA DEL SUDARSHAN KRIYA DE EL ARTE DE VIVIR
Authors: D´Angelo Ana
Published: June 2024

Cada año miles de personas en el mundo se inician al neo-hinduismo en la versión que la Fundación El Arte de Vivir ofrece, particularmente a través de su “Seminario de Técnicas Respiratorias para el control del estrés y la ansiedad”. Durante los seis días que dura esta performance ritual, los participantes atraviesan toda una serie de preparativos -antes de sumergirse en la técnica respiratoria del Sudarshan kriya- a fin de producir transformaciones sobre su corporalidad y su subjetividad.  Este artículo aborda los sentidos que los participantes otorgan al proceso de “desintoxicación” así estimulado, que derivaría incluso en una “purificación”. Desarrolla cómo los efectos somáticos de la técnica son traducidos en términos de ampliación de la “conciencia” y mayor atención intercorporal a la “energía” propia y ajena. Frío, temblor, llanto, dolor de cabeza y mareos constituyen algunas de las manifestaciones corporizadas más frecuentemente mencionadas. Como parte de un trabajo de campo más extenso en torno de los sentidos del bien-estar en el circuito de practicantes de yoga en una ciudad argentina de escala intermedia, el objetivo de este trabajo consistió en comprender fenómenos indeterminados propios de la experiencia humana –como los que el sudarshan kriya induce- recuperando su carácter intersubjetivo desde el paradigma del embodiment en antropología (más allá de un análisis del universo semiótico al que el ritual pertenece).
‘İman Etmiş Olamaz’ Kalıbıyla Nakledilen Rivâyetler Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Türkoğlu Hamdi
Published: June 2024

Tarihî süreç içerisinde hadislerin doğru anlaşılması önemsenmiş ve bunun için hem geçmişte hem de günümüzde pek çok çalışma ve araştırma yapılmıştır. Hadisin metnine ağırlık veren bazı hadis ilimleri ve şerhler daha ziyade bu amaçla kaleme alınmış çalışmalardır. Bu araştırmada da esasen bir kısım hadislerin nasıl anlaşılması gerektiğine odaklanılmış ve içeriğinde “ لا يؤمن احدكم /iman etmiş olmaz” ifadesinin yer aldığı rivâyetlerin ne anlam ifade ettiği tetkik edilmiştir. Zira bu ifade, geçtiği rivâyetlerin tamamında aynı manayı taşımamaktadır. İlgili ifadenin geçtiği rivâyetin içeriğinde inanç esasları zikrediliyorsa ifade hakiki manada kullanılırken, rivâyetin içeriğinde sosyal ilişkilerden bahsediliyorsa bu durumda da mecazî anlamda kullanılmaktadır. Bir diğer ifadeyle muhtevasını inanç esaslarının oluşturduğu rivâyetlerdeki bu ifade, imanın aslının nefyine hamledilirken inanç esaslarının dışında kalan konulardan bahseden rivâyetlerde ise imanın kemaline hamledilmiştir. Bu itibarla rivâyetin muhtevası, “iman etmiş olamaz” ifadesinin anlamını belirlemektedir. Bu durum dikkate alınarak konuyla ilgili rivâyetler “imanın aslına taalluk eden rivâyetler” ve “imanın kemaline taalluk eden rivâyetler” şeklinde iki ana başlıkta incelenmiştir.
Mourir à la convoitise pour une cohabitation pacifique (Editorial)
Authors:   CERA/Université Catholique du Congo, KABASELE MUKENGE André
Published: June 2024

Ce numéro 6 de la nouvelle série des Cahiers des Religions Africaines contient d’abord deux études qui font suite à l’appel à contribution lancé par le CERA, autour d’un grand projet de recherche : Conscience nationale, identités et appartenances dans l’Afrique postcoloniale. Le Professeur Augustin Tshitende reconnaît la forte persistance de la tribalité, du clanisme et du régionalisme, mais plaide pour une assomption collective de cette autre réalité qu’est la nation, certes héritée de la colonisation et du tracé artificiel des frontières des Etats actuels. Parmi les facteurs favorisant la construction et la consolidation de l’Etat, il cite notamment les commémorations et les célébrations nationales qui impactent l’imaginaire collectif et touchent la fibre émotionnelle. Cette thématique établit un lien avec l’étude du Professeur Jean-Claude Mulekya qui s’appesantit sur la catégorie théologique de mémoire historique (mémorial), vecteur de la formation des identités narratives, si on se l’approprie pour en tirer des leçons ou des enseignements.

Albanian Songs of The Battle of Fushë Kosovë (1389)
Authors: Ismaili Nevrije
Published: June 2024

The corresponding song received this name because the fighting between the forces of the Balkan coalition and the invading Ottoman army took place in this space, near today's Pristina, the capital of the Republic of Kosovo. The Albanian variants of this theme convey in an original and special way the general picture of the Kosovo War. In this sense, we would say that the songs about the Kosovo War, 1389, among the Albanians, although in different variants, with significant differences, come as a specific creativity of the Albanians, distinct from the other variants of the peoples who sang them this major event in the history of the Balkans. The true purpose of the creators and the circulating media of the songs about the Kosovo War has been the reflection of a concrete historical event, with real characters, historically documented, in addition to created figures, which is a completely legitimate phenomenon for folkloric artistic creations in generally.
The Eloquence of The Qur’anic Interlude the Characteristics of The Prophets from Verse 49 - 56 In Surat Maryam as An Example
Authors: Abbas Sana Fadel Hassan
Published: June 2024

This study aims to describe the eloquence of the Qur’anic interlude and its miraculousness in a number of verses from the Qur’an. The use of the interlude does not consider the pronunciation only, but it is also used to complement the Qur’anic meaning. The function of the Qur’anic interlude appears in the choice of words, and it appears in the preference of one word over another in the verses that are concluded with the attributes of the mentioned prophets, peace and blessings be upon them, from Prophet Abraham to Prophet Enoch in Surat Maryam, from verse 49 to 56. The study particularly investigates why these verses end with His saying: “A truthful person and a prophet, we made each of them sincere and a prophet messenger, true to his promise, and we granted him a highly respected status.” This study follows the inductive approach, by studying the interpretation of these verses, and the deductive approach, by deducing the rhetorical purposes of the interlude in the verses under study. The eloquence of the Qur’anic interlude is used to complement the meaning in the Qur’anic context. Surat Maryam refutes the statements of the People of the Book regarding Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, and regarding other prophets of God.
EDUCATION SYSTEM IN MEDIEVAL PERIOD - CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN MEDIEVAL EDUCATION
Authors: DR. K. MAJINI JES BELLA
Published: June 2024

This study explores the multi-layered aspects of medieval education, examining the challenges encountered by scholars and institutions alongside the opportunities that arisen in this dynamic environment also it highlights the illustrating how these factors shaped the foundations of knowledge transmission, interconnectedness of challenges and opportunities in medieval education, and the way for future developments. The education system in the medieval period met a myriad of opportunities and challenges that shaped the intellectual landscape of the time. The challenges encompassed issues such as dominance of religious institutions, limited access to education, and the scarcity of written resources. On the other hand, opportunities arose through preservation and transmission of knowledge, establishment of universities, manuscripts, and fusion of diverse cultural influences. The establishment of madrasas under Islamic rulers provided opportunities for the study of law, theology, and other subjects. This diversification of educational institutions contributed to a broader intellectual landscape. Understanding these factors helps elucidate the intricate dynamics that influenced medieval education in India. Factor analysis and one sample test is used for this study. The challenges reflect the societal and structural limitations of the time, while the opportunities highlight the flexibility and resilience of the education system in the face of various influences. The interplay of these factors shaped the education during the medieval period, leaving the enduring impact on India's intellectual heritage.

Background: Cholera is still a big public health problem in the Kasese District of Uganda, which deserves effective intervention for a free and safe society. Objectives: to survey the transmission dynamics of cholera epidemics in the endemic Kasese District of Uganda. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 240 adult participants (quantitative data) with a history of cholera and 7 key informants (qualitative data). SPSS conducted the analysis using multivariate linear regression and chi-square at the bivariate level. Statistical significance was assessed using p (< 0.05). Results. The dynamics of the cholera epidemic were defined by environmental factors, effectiveness of existing interventions such as Cholera epidemic Task Force; Cholera Treatment Centers; Health education campaigns; and Village Community meetings about cholera. The poor uptake of cholera intervention programs and other factors support this. There are still gaps in the uptake of cholera control interventions in Kasese District manifested by the laxity of the District’s Cholera epidemic Task Force; inadequate disinfection and cholera treatment kits in the Cholera epidemic Treatment Centers; low PHC funds and low listenership to media campaigns for health education about cholera; and finally, rare and poorly attended village community meetings on cholera, which influenced the spread and development of cholera outbreaks in Kasese District. Conclusions and recommendations cholera epidemic in Kasese District was mainly induced by the consumption of cholera contaminated food and water. The interventions existing in the district are ineffective and inefficient, probably due to gaps in the uptake of existing cholera cholera epidemic control interventions. District Health Offices should therefore strengthen health education and promotion about cholera; through a case-control study that will give more focus on the importance of the factors contributing to cholera in Kasese District.

Published: June 2024

Along with the development of multimedia technology, an overview of the campus environment for prospective new visitors can be visualized through a 3D virtual environment based on virtual reality. A crowd simulation system is needed to provide an overview of the crowds in campus virtual reality (CVR). The simulation helps make it easier for individuals to predict crowds in certain areas virtually. In this study, we propose using the Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle (RVO) method to support the simulation of Non-Playable Character (NPC) crowds in a visualized virtual environment. RVO implements multi-agent navigation by estimating the possibility of moving without communication between agents and being able to perform collision avoidance. The use of RVO in this study aims to contribute to the collision detection development process for each NPC. The application of RVO is carried out in the development of virtual reality by using Unity3D and Blender asset support tools. The results of this study indicate that the RVO method can be applied in multi-agent navigation. These results were confirmed by the success of the NPC as a simulation agent in selecting routes and independently navigating to avoid collisions between agents without the need for communication. In every simulation, collisions will occur within a set of agents due to high density, which causes complex computations. The development of CSS can help every CVR user experience a virtual environment. In addition, each user can experience a more natural experience with the presence of 3D objects and virtual reality with RVO-based CSS. Furthermore, this research material is expected to be developed from various perspectives and themes related to crowd simulation for games and other simulation media.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a non-communicable disease (NCD) continues to increase every year. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is essential for effective DM management. However, existing disposable glucose monitoring methods still rely on invasive techniques, cause pain, and lack continuous monitoring capabilities. On the other hand, non-invasive techniques are not feasible for CGM due to the biometric data's complexity and the classification system's inadequate performance. This study aims to develop a non-invasive technology to improve the performance of a non-invasive blood glucose classification system using Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and an oversampling technique. The oversampling technique could improve data quantity by balancing the amount of data for each class. This study recruited twenty-three participants in the age range of 20 to 22 years comprising seven females and fifteen males. During data recording sessions, blood glucose levels were simultaneously assessed using a gold-standard glucometer and a non-invasive CGM prototype. The proposed CNN model successfully improved the classification accuracy of non-invasive blood glucose monitoring significantly. With the implementation of oversampling for augmenting the data, the accuracy of the proposed model increased to more than 88%. This study concludes that non-invasive approaches combined with AI technology have the potential to provide a convenient and pain-free alternative to traditional monitoring methods, significantly improving diabetes management and enhancing the overall quality of life for those affected by this condition. These findings could revolutionize the field of diabetes management, offering a more comfortable and accurate monitoring solution that could potentially transform the lives of millions of diabetes patients.

Designing information systems to accommodate the unique needs of various users receives a lot of attention in contemporary software engineering. One such distinctive requirement in the educational context is academic supervision. Academic supervision encompasses activities to assist educators in enhancing their skills for managing the learning process and achieving educational objectives. In vocational high schools, the primary educational goals are to prepare students for the job market and empower them to initiate their businesses. These goals can only be realized if teachers incorporate technical and entrepreneurial skills into learning. The main goal of this study is to assist school supervisors and principals in assessing and directing teachers as they incorporate ideas of vocational education into the teaching and learning process. The research methodology used in this study is research and development, which includes several stages: initial needs analysis and assessment of the current state of academic supervision; development, which involves the creation of a conceptual system model; system interface design; model validation and revision; and evaluation, which requires system testing, implementation, and deployment. Based on the initial investigation and analysis of academic supervision, particularly in the context of vocational education, this research presents a conceptual model and system interface design. The outcomes of this research encompass the interface, system architecture, and user guide for the academic e-supervision system. An expert analysis of the user interface design indicates that the interface received positive evaluations from experts, with an overall average rating of 88%.
A New Approach of Steganography on Image Metadata
Authors: Fernando Yusra , Darwis Dedi , Mehta Abhishek R , Wamiliana Wamiliana , Wantoro Agus
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we introduce a novel method, Steganography on Image Metadata (SIM), to tackle the problem of robustness modification in steganography.  The SIM method works by embedding messages into the metadata storage space of digital media. Metadata is information embedded in a file that explains the file's content. The advantage of this method is that it does not alter the pixel values in the image, ensuring no degradation in media quality, and the secret message remains secure even when robustness manipulations are applied to the stego-image. To enhance data security, this paper also suggests using Fernet cryptography for message encryption during the embedding process into the cover-image. According to experimental evaluations, the SIM technique can attain a maximum PSNR value of 100 dB and an outstanding MSE value of 0. All robustness manipulation issues in steganography can be effectively addressed using the SIM method. Test results demonstrate that the SIM method can withstand symmetric and asymmetric cropping manipulations down to a pixel size of 1x1, and the message can still be extracted. Testing with image rotation manipulation also proves that the message can be successfully extracted even when the stego-image is rotated up to 180 degrees. Experiments with image resizing manipulation also confirm that the message can be recovered even when the stego-image undergoes up to 90% compression. Testing with color effects applied to the image also does not affect message extraction results.

Published: June 2024

The degradation of batteries in UAVs may result in various problems, such as connectivity troubles, flight delays, and unexpected accidents. Flight safety and reliability are affected by propeller efficiency and performance. This study explores an acoustic-based method to classify propeller faulty conditions in Vertical Take-Off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (VTOL UAV). The main objective is to emphasize the difference between classifier models developed using different battery-level flight data. The sound generated by VTOL UAV provides valuable information about the flight performance, essential for effectively monitoring flying conditions and identifying potential faults. This study uses three classification algorithms-Medium Tree (MT), Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM), and Linear Discriminant (LD), to classify propeller failures of VTOL UAVs. Datasets are collected from three simulated propeller faulty conditions using a wireless microphone connected to a smartphone in an indoor lab environment with a soundproofing mechanism. The Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients technique is implemented in MATLAB (R2020a) to extract valuable features from the recorded sound signals. Extracted features from high and low-battery flights are utilized to develop classification models. Classifiers' performance is analyzed to compare the difference between selected models developed using high and low-battery flight data. The accuracy was measured with other samples to test the robustness of classification models. LSVM and MT classification models developed using high-battery flight data produce better accuracy than low-battery flight data in the training and testing phases. LD classification model developed using high-battery flight data produces better accuracy than low-battery flight data in the testing phase only. These results show that battery degradation can affect the performance of the VTOL UAV faulty classification algorithm.

High level of plastic waste production is a common issue in various places, including the Special Region of Yogyakarta province. It is proven that the Piyungan Integrated Waste Disposal Site (TPST) or Final Disposal Site (TPA) in Bantul Regency has been closed several times due to capacity exceeding the quota and some blockages from residents around the TPA. Issues related to microplastic contamination resulting from discarded plastic waste are fascinating to study, considering the long-term impact of microplastic contamination on human health. This research aims to map the distribution of locations with the potential for waste accumulation to reduce the negative consequences of microplastic contamination. The population used included TPS and markets in Bantul District, with the sample being the distribution of TPS and market points in Bantul District in 2023. The results of checking the point distribution pattern using the quadrant and nearest neighbor method showed that the distribution of waste accumulation points had a clustered design; thus, it could be continued with cluster analysis using the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) method. Meanwhile, the number of clusters was determined iteratively from a combination of DBSCAN parameters (MinPts and Epsilon). The best method was evaluated based on the Silhouette Coefficient (SC) value, which in this case was 0.78 (MinPts 7 and Eps 1500) and included in the strong category. Subsequently, exploration was carried out by reducing the MinPts value and the lowest limit value of strong SC.

Progressively, the energy demands and responsibilities to control the demands have expanded dramatically. Subsequently, various solutions have been introduced, including producing high-capacity electrical generating power plants, and applying the grid concept to synchronize the electrical power plants in geographically scattered grids. Electrical Power Transmission Networks (EPTN) are made of many complex, dynamic, and interrelated components. The transmission lines are essential components of the EPTN, and their fundamental duty is to transport electricity from the source area to the distribution network. These components, among others, are continually prone to electrical disturbance or failure. Hence, the EPTN required fault detection and activation of protective mechanisms in the shortest time possible to preserve stability. This research focuses on using a deep learning approach for early fault detection to improve the stability of the EPTN. Early fault detection swiftly identifies and isolates faults, preventing cascading failures and enabling rapid corrective actions. This ensures the resilience and reliability of the grid, optimizing its operation even in the face of disruptions. The design of the deep learning approach comprises a long-term and short-term memory (LSTM) model. The LSTM model is trained on an electrical fault detection dataset that contains three-phase currents and voltages at one end serving as inputs and fault detection as outputs. The proposed LSTM model has attained an accuracy of 99.65 percent with an error rate of just 1.17 percent and outperforms neural network (NN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models.

Informed consent merupakan formulir persetujuan tertulis yang diberikan oleh pasien sebelum menjalani prosedur bedah, yang menegaskan pemahaman dan pengetahuan pasien tentang risiko, manfaat, alternatif, dan konsekuensi terkait dengan tindakan medis yang akan dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau kelengkapan informed consent pada kasus bedah di Rumah Sakit Umum Santosa Hospital Bandung dan menganalisis aspek hukum yang terkait. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif melalui pendekatan deskriptif dengan menganalisis formulir informed consent yang diberikan kepada pasien yang menjalani prosedur bedah di Rumah Sakit Santosa Bandung Central. Selain itu, wawancara dengan petugas medis dilakukan untuk memperoleh informasi yang lebih komprehensif tentang aspek hukum yang terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa kekurangan dalam kelengkapan informed consent pada kasus bedah di Rumah Sakit Santosa Bandung Central. Beberapa formulir informed consent tidak memuat informasi yang cukup jelas mengenai pemberi informasi dan penerima informasi, formulir informed consent yang lengkap sebanyak 76 lembar (79.61%) dan yang tidak lengkap sebanyak 20 lembar (20.39%) dari sampel 96 lenbar yang diamati. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa di Rumah Sakit Santosa Bandung Central sudah memenuhi SOP yang berlaku sesuai aspek hukumnya namun terdapat beberapa ketidaklengkapan pengisian informed consent sehingga pengisiannya belum optimal. Hal ini terjadi karena adanya tindakan-tindakan yang sifatnya darurat dan kesibukan tenaga medis. Maka dari itu, dilakukannya evaluasi dan sosialisasi untuk mencegah hal tersebut terjadi lagi.

This study delved into the nuanced factors influencing youth mobilization and participation during elections, particularly focusing on the Filipino context. Despite the recognition of youth involvement as pivotal for nation-building, concerns persist regarding the perceived apathy among Filipino youth towards electoral engagement. Employing a quantitative approach, this research utilized survey questionnaires to gauge the influence shaping the decisions of young voters. Randomly selected respondents from various barangays form the sample pool, providing insights into the factors driving or hindering youth mobilization. Surprisingly, the findings revealed that traditional influential factors fail to significantly impact youth mobilization and participation. Moreover, demographic characteristics such as age, gender, religion, education, and employment status demonstrate limited correlation with electoral engagement levels. These findings prompt a reevaluation of existing assumptions and highlight the need for targeted strategies to enhance youth participation in electoral processes while upholding the fundamental Right of Suffrage.
An ever-closer Union?
Authors: Sánchez Gómez Manuela
Published: June 2024

The EU was created with the aim of promoting an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe. For decades, the European project has been consolidated to the extent that new countries have joined the EU and its supranational governance areas have been gradually increasing. In the period between 2010 and 2020, the context changed drastically. In that period there have been crises that differ from all the previous ones that have jeopardized the European integration process. Despite decades of research in the field of European integration, as of the date of writing this book, academic studies assessing European disintegration are profoundly scarce. This investigation addresses, from the perspective of public international law, the consequences of the eurozone crisis, migration crisis, Brexit, and the war in Ukraine to shed light on whether there have been any signs of European disintegration and provide readers with a set of explanatory factors that show different results for each crisis.
