Health-preserving competence of future physical education teacher: terminological narrative in contemporary context
Authors: Hakman A. , Medvid A. , Pervukhina S.
Published: March 2024

This article presents the results of a scientific study aimed at exploring theoretical narratives of health-preserving competence among future physical education teachers, as discussed in Ukrainian scientific research. The work marks the beginning of research in this direction, focusing on determining the possibilities of preparing future physical education teachers in higher education institutions to ensure the health preservation of students. Emphasis is placed on the importance of developing health-preserving competence as a key element among the professional competencies of future educators. The study highlights that current realities, such as the deterioration of children's health and prolonged stress due to war, make health preservation a necessary function not only for physical education teachers but also for all professionals working with children. The research indicates that the essence of health-preserving competence requires consideration through the prism of its component structure, which may be viewed differently by various scientific schools and researchers. Several approaches to understanding the structure of health-preserving competence are described, including its context in interacting with social, physical, and spiritual health, as well as different perspectives on its integrative nature and interaction with environmental conservation and self-realization. The authors stress the importance of clarifying the terms "competence" and its relation to "competency." The study also highlights a procedural approach to understanding competence based on the components of activity and associated with the formation of motivational-volitional, cognitive-value, practical- effective, and reflexive-adaptive components by future educators. As a result, two layers of competence are identified: external, which considers the integration of health preservation elements into the teacher's practical activities, and internal, reflecting the reconsideration of health values at the personal and professional levels.

The research paper discusses the peculiarities of the educational process in elementary school during physical education lessons. It was found that the development of physical qualities of 8-9 years-old schoolchildren depends on the complex influence on them through the use of various fitness-technologies.

The purpose of the work is to improve the educational process of physical education based on the development and implementation of fitness technologies in elementary school.

Research results. Our work showed the search of optimal ways of improving the physical qualities of younger schoolchildren in the educational process of physical education. The pedagogical experiment showed that the fitness-complexes reliably affect at the physical qualities of 8-9-year-old schoolchildren during physical education lessons using fitness equipment (Р˂0.05). In the experimental group, the result in the speed running (30 m) improved by 0.5 s for boys and 0.4 s for girls at the end of the experiment. The result improved by 0.7s for boys and by 0.6s for girls during the control exercise – running 4x9m. The result of the incline indicated an improvement of 0.65 cm for boys and 1.6 cm for girls during the use of fitness equipment.

Due to the improvement of the result during the control exercise – wring in 1 minute (quantity) – after the experiment in the experimental group, the result increased in 5 times for boys, and in 4 times for girls. Comparative results of the test exercise – long jump is following: the results show that after the experiment in the experimental group: the result improved for boys for 7 cm, for girls for 4 cm. So, we see an improvement in the results of all control exercises that determine physical qualities of elementary school students, which indicates the effectiveness of the chosen methodology.

The scientific originality of the work lies in the systematization of fitness-exercises which help to develop all physical qualities at primary school in the process of physical education.

Published: March 2024

A large number of studies are devoted to the study of the functional capabilities of pupils and students. The majority of scientists and practitioners evaluate the level of functional capabilities with the help of various test tasks on physical fitness, also use various functional tests and functional testing with the help of dosed physical loads, in isolated cases with the help of maximum loads. In the light of the published data, there is a noticeable controversy of opinions in determining the level of functional capabilities due to certain inaccuracies in obtaining results and inaccuracies in the approaches to finding relevant indicators, which do not take into account the age-related changes occurring in the body of pupils and students. In our opinion, the most accurate, operative and informative is functional testing, in which the power of the physical load changes in a closed cycle. This technique allows to detect not only the indicators of physical performance and the reaction of the cardiovascular system, but also allows to establish the regulatory and energy components of the systemic reaction of the human body. The implementation of such monitoring technology and information program, which provides an automated assessment of the functional capabilities of the human body, and is accurate, informative and physiologically justified, is relevant in our time. In order to optimize the educational and educational process of physical education and obtain more complete information about the level of functional capabilities of students of higher educational institutions, it is advisable to use complex monitoring taking into account the appropriate functional testing and separate tests of physical fitness, which will help specialists in the field of physical education to obtain a more accurate and versatile information about students' functional capabilities, assess their state of health, implement individual and differential approaches in the educational process of physical education based on the received data, make corrections to the educational process in educational institutions.

Published: March 2024

The prerequisite for success in any business is the formation of a motivational sphere, the development of which requires targeted pedagogical influence. At the current stage, a number of issues related to the physical development and physical fitness of the younger generation deserve attention. Regardless of who the child will become, where he will work, teachers must always show a high civic sense of responsibility for the fate of the younger generation. The article analyzes the main motivational factors that will increase the interest and interest of schoolchildren in completing tasks in physical education classes. A survey of schoolchildren was carried out in order to determine the motives that motivate them to attend distance physical education classes, as well as being a motivating factor for active motor activity of schoolchildren. The obtained results show that 58% of schoolchildren like to attend remote classes, 24% do not want to attend online classes, and 18% noted that attendance is largely influenced by other factors, including mood. Analyzing the obtained results, it was established that 17% of schoolchildren like the fact that they can conduct classes while being at home, in danger and do not need to spend time traveling to school; 14% of children noted authority and respect for the teacher; 12% indicated that communication with friends is an attractive factor; 18% - like to perform exercises independently without external supervision; 11% - interested in the possibility of combining theoretical tasks with practical ones; 28% of students highlighted the possibility of using various IT technologies during the educational process. In the course of the work, it was experimentally proven that the majority of students have a persistent interest in physical education in an offline format. During distance learning, students need interesting and modern educational material with mandatory feedback from the teacher with options for certain incentives for the work done. The effectiveness of the work of a teacher-student largely depends on social factors, the opinion and support of the family, as well as quality communication between the participants of the educational process.

EFFECTIVENESS OF BOBATH TECHNIQUE IN TREATING CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: DAR SHAHID MOHD , JOHARI NUR ATIQAH
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT:
Aim: To assess how Bobath therapy affects motor function and functional independence. Method: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. All randomized trials that recruited cerebral palsy children and applied Bobath approach as intervention were collected through a comprehensive online database search. For quality assessment, the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trial (RoB 2) was used. Results: Six eligible articles including five RCTs and one quasi-experimental study were retrieved from PEDro, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EBSCO and PubMed since 2010, and all studies had low risk of bias. Bobath therapy had shown positive effects on gross motor function, balance, upper extremity function and functional independence but no significant effects on gait parameters and disability involvement. Conclusion: Bobath technique would not be effective on its own, instead might be effective as adjunct to other conventional physiotherapy treatments.

Authors: AHMAD NAZRI NURSHAZWANI , JAAFAR NURUL HAZIRAH , ZAKARIA SURIATI , MOHD ABU BAKAR WAN AZDIE , AZAHARI NURANIZA , IZHAR HISHAM SYIFAK , BUHARI SITI SABARIAH
Published: March 2024

Background: Malnutrition occurs due to inadequate food intake and low daily energy intake, often associated with picky eating behaviour (PEB). Picky eaters have limited food choices and poor dietary diversity, leading to malnutrition. Therefore, this article aims to explore the impact of childhood eating behaviour on a young child's growth. Method: Articles were identified through six electronic search engines using 12 keywords. Articles were included if they met the following criteria: (1) sample of study involved young children (below six years old); (2) study outcome focusing on the impact of eating behaviour on the growth of the children (3) published in English. Studies were excluded if they were review articles, qualitative studies, and involved children with clinical health problems. Result: A total of 413 articles were screened, and 8 full-text articles were evaluated. The prevalence rates of selective eaters varied greatly from 25% in India to 77% in Iraq. The screening tools used for identifying PEB varied, with the Children’s Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) being the most commonly used tool. Short-term implications of PEB on children include the risk of poor diet intake and limited consumption of a variety of food groups, which can lead to adverse health outcomes. Meanwhile, long-term implications include the development of eating disorders in adulthood. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that PEB has had a significant impact on the growth of young children. Despite the increasing concern about the implications of PEB, there is a lack of sufficient research studies on the effects of this behaviour on the nutritional status of young children.

COMPARISON OF NONCONTACT A-SCAN AND ULTRASOUND A-SCAN IN THE MEASUREMENT OF AXIAL LENGTH IN MYOPIC SUBJECTS
Authors: SAMSUL BAHARI NUR SYAKIRAH MARDHIAH , MOHD-ALI BARIAH , MOHAMAD SHAHIMIN MIZHANIM , ARIF NORLAILI
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Myopia, which is also known as nearsightedness, is a common type of refractive error among the majority of the population. It is characterized by clear vision up close but blurry vision at a distance. Myopia is caused by an eyeball that is abnormally longer than normal and cornea that is too steeply curved. In both cases, images are focused in front of the retina instead of on it. With abnormal axial length of the eyeball, myopia has developed into a condition that threatens eyesight.
Methodology: In this study, we compared the axial length measurements between non-contact biometry, and ultrasound A-scan among young myopic adults in UKM Kuala Lumpur campus. A total of 90 healthy myopic subjects (14 male and 76 female) with mean age of 22.03 ± 1.14 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Clinical investigations that included visual acuity, refraction and axial length measurement using optical and ultrasound biometry were carried out. Results: The mean spherical equivalent refractive error, axial length measured by optical biometry and ultrasound were found to be -3.04 ± 1.61 D, 24.74 ± 0.90 mm and 24.50 ± 0.86 mm respectively. Paired sample t-test showed that subjects’ axial length measured by ultrasound A-scan were significantly lower than optical biometry (p < 0.05). Negative and strong correlations were found between degree of myopia and axial length (rs = -0.609, p < 0.001). Regression showed that axial length measurement accounted for a significant 33.5% of the degree of myopia, R² = 0.335, adjusted R² = 0.328, F = (1, 88) = 44.38, p < 0.01.
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated a significant difference in measurements of axial length using non-contact A-scan and ultrasound A-scan in myopic subjects, which must be considered during management of myopic patients.
A Current Review of Local Metronidazole Antibiotics for the Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Authors: Mohamad Mohd Yusof , Mohd Zavi Nora Azirah , Mohamed Halim Muhammad Lutfi
Published: March 2024

Periodontal disease affects around 14.5% of the global adult population. It affects the tooth's supporting tissues, causing inflammation and tooth loss. Periodontitis treatment aims to prevent further disease progression by restoring the lost tissue and preventing bacterial infection. Nevertheless, periodontal breakdown may still occur post-treatment due to the periodontal pathogens. Antibiotics were utilized to control and prevent the infection. Local drug delivery system (LDD) is being developed to deliver the antibiotic due to its site-specific benefits. Metronidazole (MET) is widely used to treat periodontal infection following treatments due to its efficacy against obligate anaerobes and broad-spectrum characteristics. Despite its advantages, MET is attributed to systemic side effects. Therefore, this article aimed to review in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies on the current local application of MET to treat periodontal diseases. 13 relevant research articles were analysed and provide valuable insights into the local application of metronidazole for periodontal treatment.Keywords: metronidazole; local drug delivery; periodontitis, antibiotic

Published: March 2024

The main source of valuable fatty acids such as eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that are important for human health are from marine fish. However, fatty acids derived from fish have many downsides such as contaminated with environmental pollution. Plus, the marine fish sources are limited due to several reasons. Hence, microalgae are seen to be potential alternative source of these valuable fatty acids. Microalgae are equipped with distinctive adaptive mechanisms that allow them to survive in all sorts of habitat even in subzero temperature such as in Antarctic. One of them is increased in their fatty acid levels. This research aims to characterize one species of Antarctic microalga isolated from polar ice of genus thought to be Pseudococcomyxa sp. and to profile its fatty acid compositions. The fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was profiled using gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS) using methanol as solvent. Generally, the morphological characteristics of possible genus of Pseudococcomyxa sp. matched the actual Pseudococcomyxa sp. The total fatty acids percentage in Pseudococcomyxa sp. cultured in Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM) had been successfully identified using methanol as solvent which is 53.13% with linolelaidic acid as the highest percentage (27.15%). The fatty acid compositions of Antarctic microalga, Pseudococcomyxa sp. which were successfully profiled have many potentials to be exploited in the future especially in pharmaceutical and food industry.

Chemoprevention strategies, which aim to prevent or reduce the risk of cancer using natural products, align with the Maqasid Shariah by promoting the preservation of life and the protection of health, which are fundamental objectives of Islamic law. This review aimed to understand the role of natural products (plants source) as chemoprevention from Maqasid Shariah viewpoint. The study of natural products as chemoprevention and their conceptualization are in parallel with the Al-Qur’an and As-Sunnah were found through a thorough search of the literature. Chemoprevention is a type of intervention that, in accordance with the first principle of Maqasid Shariah which emphasis on the preservation of life (hifz al-nafs). Several types of natural products from plant resources mentioned in Al-Qur'an and Al-Hadith for instance, dates, figs, olive, fennel, acacia, cucumber, pomegranate, ginger, onion, and black cumin possessed medicinal properties for disease treatments and anti-cancer effects. While different cancer types respond differently to natural products as anticancer agents, this review has identified categories of plants with chemopreventive efficacy in parallel with the concept of Maqasid Shariah that can serve as a guide for additional in-depth research in the biomedical sciences field.Keywords: chemoprevention, Maqasid Shariah perspective, natural products, plants

Abstract. One of the options for pharmacotherapy of allergic rhinitis (AR) with values of visual analogue assessment of symptoms ≥ 5 is the use of intranasal H1-histamine blocker in combination with intranasal cocorticosteroid. One of the new combinations that qualitatively corresponds to this composition is the combination of olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness and safety of symptomatic therapy by the fixed combination of olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate in the form of a nasal spray in the treatment of AR. Materials and methods. 45 patients were examined, of which 37 patients completed treatment (8 patients dropped out of the study due to poor compliance). All of them made up the main group of the study (age — 29.3 (16.6; 42.0) years, men — 13 (35.0 %), women — 24 (65.0 %). The design of the study was randomized prospective with interventional model in the form of monoprescription. The diagnosis of AR was established in accordance with the ARIA guidelines. To control nasal symptoms before and during treatment, a generally accepted scoring system was used — the TNSS scale (Total nasal symptom score), eye symptoms — the TOSS scale (Total ocular symptom score) The Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life mini Questionnaire (RQLQ) was used to assess the quality of life of AR patients. The results. In the course of treatment, a statistically significant improvement in nasal symptoms (TNSS) was noted — a decrease in severity from 10.11 (8.71; 11.51) points to 1.31 (1.00; 1.63) points on the 28-th day of treatment (p < 0.05). A similar statistically significant improvement was observed in the severity of ocular symptoms (TOSS) — a decrease in severity from 3.31 (1.81, 4.81) points to 0.36 (0.30, 0.42) points on the 28-th day of treatment (p < 0.05). A statistically significant improvement in the quality of life according to the RQLQ during treatment was noted — the score decreased from 3.04 (2.72; 3.37) points at the initial visit to 1.83 (1.61; 2.05) points on the 7-th day. 1.02 (0.86, 1.18) points on day 14, 0.63 (0.51, 0.75) points on day 21 and 0.45 (0.41, 0.49) points on day 28 treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusion. A fixed combination of mometasone furoate and olopatadine hydrochloride was effective in relieving nasal and ocular symptoms in patients with moderate/severe AR, reducing the TONSS score from 13.42 (10.81; 16.03) to 1.67 (1.14; 2.20) points and in improving the quality of life, reducing the degree of discomfort from 3.04 (2.72; 3.37) points to 0.45 (0.41; 0.49) points. For 4 weeks of use, no side effects from the use of the drug were registered, which indicates good tolerability.
The Role and Significance of the FeNO Test in Different Asthma Endotypes
Authors: Tsaryk V. V. , Udovenko N. S. , Gumeniuk N. O. , Kurchenko A. I.
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most frequent cause of inflammations of the airway and frequently characterized by eosinophilia, IgE production, and Th2 cytokine expression. Despite the wide prevalence of spirometry in BA diagnostic, the significance of FeNO test is the one of sensitive marker of eosinophilic inflammation in early asthma diagnosis. The pathogenesis of allergic inflammation has different endotypes which is poorly understood. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relation between different allergic inflammation indicators (eosinophils and IgE levels) and rates of FeNO results in patients with BA. Materials and methods. In this work we analyzed the basal levels of FeNO NIOX® test, serum IgE levels and eosinophils in patients with first diagnosed asthma before the treatment. In our study we included 125 patients with BA and 20 healthy control. Group 1 (n = 67) were the patients with BA and high IgE (Th-2 endotype), Group 2 (n = 58) — BA and normal IgE levels, but increased eosinophils (eosinophilic asthma). The levels of serum IgE was determined using ELISA. The FeNO results determined by NIOX VERO® analyzer. Results. The serum concentrations of IgE was higher in Group 1 (267.3 ± 57.6) IU/ml, Group 2 (37.2 ± 14.7) IU/ml and had no significant difference than healthy control (24.9 ± 7.7) IU/ml, p < 0.05. Eosinophils were higher in Group 2 (684 ± 228) cells/mcl than in Group 1 (456 ± 177) cells/mcl and control (104 ± 53) cells/mcl, p < 0.01. Also we determined positive strong correlation between serum IgE and blood eosinophils in Group 1 patients (r = 0.823) and no correlation in Group 2 (r = 0.324). The results of FeNO were significantly higher (47.2 ± 6.4) ppb in patients with higher IgE and high eosinophils (Group 1) than in Group 2 (34.6 ± 5.9) ppb and healthy control (12.4 ± 4.3) ppb, p < 0.05. Conclusion. The higher FeNO results were in patient with Th2 asthma endotype than in eosinophilic asthma. We could conclude that patients, which eosinophils induced by allergy, have association between serum IgE, blood eosinophils and FeNO results. Instead, patients with eosinophilic asthma and low serum IgE have other not Th2-induced mechanism of eosinophils activation (recurrent infections, haptens influence, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs intolerance and ect.). We can assume that eosinophils can crystallize in the bronchi of the patients with eosinophilic asthma caused by other cytokines rather than Th2. In this case, FeNO activity depends on the Th2 eosinophils maintenance and more sensitive in patients with allergic exogenous asthma.
Immunocompetent isolated cerebral mucormycosis presenting with obstructive hydrocephalus: illustrative case
Authors: Nguyen Khoa N , Freeman Lindsey M , Ung Timothy H , Ojemann Steven , Grassia Fabio
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Isolated cerebral mucormycosis is rare in immunocompetent adults and is only sparsely reported to be associated with obstructive hydrocephalus.

OBSERVATIONS

Here, the authors report a case of obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to central nervous system mucormycosis without other systems or rhino-orbital involvement and its technical surgical management. A 23-year-old, incarcerated, immunocompetent patient with history of intravenous (IV) drug use presented with syncope. Although clinical and radiographic findings failed to elucidate an infectious pathology, endoscopy revealed an obstructive mass lesion at the level of the third ventricle, which, on microbiological testing, was confirmed to be Rhizopus fungal ventriculitis. Perioperative cerebrospinal fluid diversion, endoscopic third ventriculostomy, endoscopic biopsy technique, patient outcomes, and the literature are reviewed here. The patient received intrathecal and IV amphotericin B followed by a course of oral antifungal treatment and currently remains in remission.

LESSONS

The patient’s unique presentation and diagnosis of isolated cerebral mucormycosis reveal this pathogen as a cause of ventriculitis and obstructive hydrocephalus in immunocompetent adult patients, even in the absence of infectious sequelae on neuroimaging.
Optimization of direct cortical stimulation using tibial versus median nerve sensory mapping during midline brain tumor resection: illustrative case
Authors: Mugutso Denmark , Warnecke Charles , Tessler Lee Eric , Pace Christopher J , Avshalumov Marat V
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

During brain tumor resection, neurophysiological mapping and monitoring help surgeons locate, characterize, and functionally assess eloquent brain areas in real time. The selection of mapping and monitoring targets has implications for successful surgery. Here, the authors compare direct cortical stimulation (DCS) as suggested by median nerve (MN) with posterior tibial nerve (PTN) cortical sensory mapping (SM) during mesial lesion resection.

OBSERVATIONS

Recordings from a 6-contact cortical strip served to generate an MN and a PTN sensory map, which indicated the strip was anterior to the central sulcus. Responses exhibited an amplitude gradient with no phase reversal (PR). DCS, elicited through a stimulus probe or contact(s) of the strip, yielded larger responses from the corresponding sensory mapped limb; that is, PTN SM resulted in larger lower limb muscle responses than those suggested by MN SM.

LESSONS

SM of the MN and PTN is effective for localizing eloquent cortical areas wherein the PTN is favored in surgery for mesial cortical tumors. The recorded amplitude of the cortical somatosensory evoked potential is a valuable criterion for defining the optimal location for DCS, despite an absent PR. The pathway at risk dictates the specifics of SM, which subsequently defines the optimal location for DCS.

Although it is a highly serious human crime, people trafficking still occurs, particularly in West Kalimantan's border region. West Kalimantan's border region has seen a variety of attempts to reduce human trafficking, yet the practice persists still. There is a need for a solution or model that can lessen instances of human trafficking in the West Kalimantan border region, carried out so that the parties involved are unaware of it.This study aims to develop an appropriate model for legal protection to deal with human trafficking at the border West Kalimantan. Methods of the Research, The research will be conducted at the Polres in the Sajingan and Biawak border regions, as stated in the research title. The Sajingan Besar sector's Resort Police and Border Communities are two sources of crime prevention strategies based on legal requirements, The study's findings serve as a model for public protection from human trafficking activities from the perspective of the role of law enforcement officials, the police in the border regions of Sajingan and Biawak, in particular, to combat the crime of trafficking in persons, conduct investigations, and look into cases of human trafficking that happened in the border regions of Sambas Regency, particularly Sajin. The criminal law (penal) is used by the authorities as a model of legal protection to stop human trafficking. However, there is still human trafficking that takes place. Because there are still several barriers to sentencing that do not take into account the elements of a crime. The unlawful behavior in place does not yet constitute the TIP factor. Using criminal law policies and cultural norms to carry out criminal crimes like human trafficking, protecting the public, and implementing coordination with illegal law enforcement policies all help to enhance efforts to combat corruption

Published: March 2024

This research aims to identify, analyze, and discover efforts to facilitate business ease, empowerment, and protection for micro and small business operators in the Maluku Province through effective local legal regulations. Micro and small businesses play a vital role in supporting national development and enhancing the country's economy. Therefore, micro and small businesses need to be continuously developed to remain viable and competitive in the global trade arena. One of the measures to ensure the sustainability of micro and small businesses is through effective legal regulations that address various challenges faced by them. These legal regulations encompass not only national legal aspects but also local legal frameworks, including those in the Maluku Province. This research constitutes sociolegal research using primary and secondary data obtained through literature review and interviews. Based on the research findings, it is evident that the legal regulations for micro and small businesses in Maluku, both at the provincial and municipal levels, are not sufficiently effective in realizing ease of doing business, empowerment, and protection for micro and small business operators. The ineffectiveness of local legal provisions in Maluku is attributed to various issues in their content. These issues include discrepancies in regulations compared to other legal provisions, overlapping jurisdiction between the provincial and municipal governments, and even the central government's authority in regulating medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, legal gaps and unclear content lead to normative ambiguity, ultimately affecting the implementation of micro-business development and empowerment, which does not proceed smoothly.

The crucial issue in grounding Islamic criminal law is that there are still many Islamic criminal law terms that use Arabic terms and Arabic backgrounds, so that Islamic criminal law is only considered to fit the Arabic context. And in Islamic law criminal law is called jinayah which is defined as actions prohibited by shara' which are threatened by Allah SWT with jarimah (punishment) hudud, qishas and diat or ta'zir, in other words, doing or not doing is only considered a criminal offense if a penalty has been determined and threatened against it. The type of research used is qualitative research with comparative descriptive method. The data collection technique in this research is the literature method, which traces the existing literature and carefully examines the data related to the issues discussed. The results of this study are the criminal laws of Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam as regulated in Qanun No. 14 of 2003 on Khalwat (Mesum), Enakmen Jenayah Syari'ah Selangor Number 9 of 1995 and Kanun Jenayah Syari'ah Brunei Darussalam 2013 have similarities and differences in terms of determining a criminal act of adultery. When viewed in terms of the definition of adultery in Qanun No. 14 of 2003 on Khalwat (Mesum), Enakmen Jenayah Syari'ah Selangor Number 9 of 1995 and Kanun Jenayah Syari'ah Brunei Darussalam 2013, both are not contrary to the provisions of jinayah fiqh. All three have similarities in determining the elements of a criminal act of adultery, namely the element without a legal marriage bond is one of the elements that determine an act of adultery, because if the relationship is based on a legal marriage then automatically the conditions in a marriage have been fulfilled and the relationship is a permissible act

Published: March 2024

Cultivation rights according to the UUPA are granted on state land, but in its current development cultivation rights can be granted on state land and land with management rights. Management rights as control rights from the state, the authority to implement which is partly delegated to the holder of management rights, in the development of regulations can be granted on state land and customary land. The purpose of this writing is to describe the juridical problems of cultivation rights over management rights. The method used is normative legal research with priority on secondary data which is analyzed qualitatively. Inconsistencies occur between PP No. 18 of 2021 and UUPA, indicating a violation of the principle of lex superior derogate legi inferiori. This creates juridical problems with cultivation rights over management rights, and can result in legal uncertainty for holders of cultivation rights over management rights.
