Stepping Back to Move Forward: Assessing the Quality of Maternity Health Services of Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Bhetwal Kiran
Published: March 2020

This paper is the assessment of the women’s perception towards the quality of services they received during their maternity time and examining their level of satisfaction with the intention to revisit the same hospital for future services. Primary quantitative data through the distribution of questionnaire from 150 respondents using convenience sampling from five hospitals viz Nagarik Hospital, Teaching Hospital, Thapathali Hospital, KMC and Patan Hospital were collected. Majorities of the respondent were satisfied enough to return to the hospital and would happily recommend others as well. This study found that human and physical resources have the lowest average. Implying that most of the respondent felt that it was the most important factor while choosing the hospital followed by privacy, cognition, physical abuse, denial of requested care, confidentiality, emotional support, involvement of family member and finally respect, dignity and equity scores last. It means that no matter which hospital respondent went they found it most obvious to be treated with respect. It clearly shows the reason on why the hospital is investing more on the infrastructure rather than innovating and delivering higher service quality. On the serious note, a case of physical and verbal abuse also came into light during the investigation. Not much of research based policies are seen to protect such critical case.
Tom Stoppard and the Darkside of Drama, Theatre, and Philosophy
Authors: Ezell Brice
Published: March 2020

The scholarship on Tom Stoppard’s theatrical engagement with philosophy has glossed over the playwright’s unique choice to use both analytic philosophers as characters and analytic methodology in his dramaturgy. This article, considering the 2013 radio drama Darkside, argues that Stoppard creates a uniquely analytic dramatic and theatrical universe in his “analytic plays,” which include Jumpers and The Hard Problem. Darkside imagines Philippa Foot’s famed “trolley problem” thought experiment, a cornerstone in analytic ethics, with one character existing in an abstract “thought experiment universe” that tests the longstanding distinction between “physical/mental” and “body/mind.” In so doing, Stoppard creates new avenues for collaboration among analytic philosophy, drama, and theatre.
Piagam Jakarta dan Implikasinya Terhadap Konstruksi Pemikiran Islamisme Indonesia Kontemporer
Authors: Adiwilaga Rendy
Published: March 2020

Tulisan ini hendak menggali historisitas Piagam Jakarta sebagai gentlemen agreement para pendiri bangsa hingga implikasinya terhadap bentuk gerakan-gerakan islamisme kontemporer yang saat ini laris dalam pemasaran dakwah serta memiliki kekuatan yang cukup menentukan dalam perumusan kebijakan politis maupun hukum. Representasi gerakan yang tertuang dalam gerakan 212 atau GNPF-Ulama menjadi tanda bahwa kelompok Islam saat ini mulai menunjukkan eksistensinya kembali pasca pemberangusan yang dilakukan rezim Orde Baru sebelumnya. Pada akhirnya tulisan ini menjelaskan bahwa Piagam Jakarta dan gerakan islamisme kontemporer memiliki mimpi yang sama tentang formalisasi Islam dimana formalisasi Islam tersebut merupakan pengaruh langsung untuk saat ini, dari adanya upaya pengesahan Piagam Jakarta. Hanya terdapat perbedaan kontras dalam hal perjuangan serta bentuk gerakan dimana para pejuang Piagam Jakarta yang terhitung hingga tumbangnya Masyumi, cenderung memiliki bentuk gerakan yang terkonsep secara ideologis dan tidak mengikat. Sedangkan kelompok Islamisme kontemporer cenderung tidak memiliki wujud gerakan yang pasti bahkan berbeda-beda satu sama lain. This paper seeks to explore the historicity of the Jakarta Charter as a gentlemen's agreement for the founders of the nation to its implications for the forms of contemporary Islamism movements that are currently in demand in the marketing of Da'wah and have sufficient decisive power in the formulation of political and legal policies. Representation of the movements contained in the 212 or GNPF-Ulama movement is a sign that Islamic groups are now beginning to show their existence again after the suppression carried out by the previous New Order regime. In the end, this paper explains that the Jakarta Charter and the contemporary Islamism movement have the same dream about the formalization of Islam, where the formalization of Islam is a direct influence for the time being, from the ratification of the Jakarta Charter. There are only contrasts in terms of the struggle and form of the movement where Jakarta Charter fighters who counted until the fall of Masyumi, tend to have a form of movement that is ideologically conceptualized and not binding. Whereas contemporary Islamism groups tend not to have a definite form of movement even varying from one another.

Politik Tubuh Perempuan: Studi Tes Genitalia pada Perekrutan Anggota Polisi Baru di Indonesia
Authors: Pratama Abdul Azis
Published: March 2020

The focus of this research is to see how Body, Sex, and Norm play a role in Women’s Subjugation in Indonesia. As a conservative and moslem majority country, Indonesia often finds herself strangled in the Sexist Situation. Whereas Men had been granted a greater role in public affairs and more excepted to be a leader, than its companion gender. Besides not having the same opportunity as men in public affairs, Women in Indonesia also faced a subjugation of their body and their ‘morale’. It is said, that one of the Indonesian norms is to forbids Women to have pre-marital sex, and to do so they have to cover their bodies, and not to be too friendly to Male Strangers. However, this standard doesn't apply to Men, which leads to a situation where Women’s become a more inferior gender in terms of personal expression. But the problem didn’t stop there, Women who caught already have a pre-marital sex (determined by the intactness of Hymen) will faced another discrimination, such as social judgment, excommunication and exclusion in several employment, for Instance in Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Indonesian Police Force). Fokus penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat bagaimana politik tubuh, jenis kelamin dan norma yang berperan dalam seleksi masuk kepolisian indonesia. Sebagai negara mayoritas yang konservatif dan mayoritas beragama Islam, Indonesia sering menemukan posisi-posisi yang menyudutkan perempuan dalam Situasi yang tidak setara. Sedangkan Pria telah diberikan peran yang lebih besar dalam urusan publik, dan lebih dikecualikan untuk menjadi pemimpin, daripada gender pendampingnya. Selain tidak memiliki kesempatan yang sama dengan laki-laki dalam urusan publik, Perempuan di Indonesia juga menghadapi penaklukan tubuh dan 'moral' mereka. Penelitian ini mengelaborasi mengenai posisi perempuan dalam seleksi menjadi anggota polri, dima tubuh mereka  menjadi sebuah objek yang harus dijaga dalam sebuah status keperawanan. Riset ini juga melihat bagaimana isu yang berkembang dalam tes kesehatan yang melihat lebih jauh tubuh perempuan sebagai objek yang harus di jaga. Dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, riset ini akan lebih mengelaborasi segala objektifikasi terhadap tubuh perempuan.
Demokrasi Bukan Untuk PKI: Pengeklusian Hak-Hak Politik Kaum Komunis Pasca Reformasi di Indonesia
Authors: Zuhdan Muhammad
Published: March 2020

This study wants to review the exclusion of the political rights of communist-leaning community groups to exercise their political rights in Indonesia. Political rights agreed here start from the agreed right, the right to organize, until the right to hold an election to take part in the general election. The author's thesis says that the 15 years of Reformation failed in Indonesia because there was still the exclusion of the political rights of people accused of being PKI henchmen in democratic life in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper in academia is to erase the participation of the inclusion and exclusion discourse of ex-PKI political prisoners joining the political and governance system in Indonesia. Another aim was to advocate for the exclusion of the political rights of groups or people accused of being PKI henchmen. The focus of this paper is to analyze the practice and forms of exclusion of the political rights of the Pki ex-politics and to save in socio-political life in Indonesia. After reading this paper, it will discuss the democratic ironism that developed in Indonesia after the 1998 Reformation because it still opens opportunities for exclusion of the political rights of a minority group. Penelitian ini ingin mengulas pengeklusian hak-hak politik kelompok masyarakat berhaluan komunis untuk menggunakan hak politiknya di Indonesia. Hak politik yang dimaksud disini mulai dari hak menyatakan pendapat, hak berorganisasi, sampai hak mendirikan partai sampai ikut dalam pemilihan umum (Pemilu) . Tesis penulis mengatakan bahwa 15 tahun Reformasi gagal di Indonesia karena masih ada pengeklusian hak politik  orang-orang yang dituduh antek PKI dalam kehidupan berdemokrasi di Indonesia. Tujuan tulisan ini secara akademis untuk membongkar perdebatan wacana inklusi dan ekslusi eks Tapol PKI beserta keluarganya dalam sistem politik dan pemerintahan di Indonesia. Tujuan lainnya adalah untuk mengadvokasi pengeklusian hak-hak politik kelompok ataupun orang-orang yang dituduh antek PKI. Fokus tulisan ini adalah menganalis praktek dan bentuk ekslusi atas hak-hak politik eks tahanan politik Pki dan keluarganya dalam kehidupan sosial politik di Indonesia. Setelah membaca paper ini pembaca akan memahami tentang ironisme demokrasi yang berkembang di Indonesia pasca Reformasi 1998 karena masih membuka peluang ekslusi atas hak-hak politik sebuah kelompok minoritas.

Gender mainstreaming planning cultures: Why ‘engendering planning’ needs critical feminist theory
Authors: Tummers Lidewij , Wankiewicz Heidrun
Published: March 2020

This contribution looks at strategies for gender mainstreaming (GM) in planning practice applying gender/diversity design criteria. It offers a critical discussion of the ‘city of proximity’ (CoP) as a guiding principle for genderaware planning. Examples of guidelines and handbooks from different planning cultures show that the CoP is a widely adopted model, not only in gender mainstreaming, however it is seldom associated with its feminist origin. As planning professionals and researchers, we consider the role of urban and regional planning to change power relations and gendered norms. Taking two Austrian cities as examples, we illustrate the impact of GM on planning practice, revealing both the strength of the legislative framework and the limitations of Leitbilder that unintentionally reproduce gender stereotypes. The paper concludes with suggestions to move beyond the stage of pilot projects and handbooks, particularly in two fields: first, by looking at the attitudes and competences of professionals, and second, by dissociating the city of proximity from neighbourhoods while implementing gender criteria at a larger scale, e.g. in regional development plans.
De/constructing spaces of queer fear: rassisierte und klassisierte Stadt- und Raumkonstruktionen am Beispiel Wien
Authors: Klapeer Christine M. , Schönpflug Karin
Published: March 2020

Vor dem Hintergrund einer zunehmenden Ethnisierung und Rassisierung von Homo*-, Trans*- und Inter*phobie in öffentlichen und politischen Debatten gehen wir in diesem Beitrag der Frage nach, wie sich diese Diskurse und Deutungsmuster in queeren Aushandlungen und Wahrnehmungen des urbanen Raums materialisieren. Auf der Basis von ausgewählten Ergebnissen einer breit angelegten empirischen Auftragsstudie zu den Lebensbedingungen von Lesben, Schwulen, Trans*, Inter* und queeren Personen (LGBTIQs) in der Stadt Wien analysieren wir aus einer intersektionalrassismuskritischen und affektheoretischen Perspektive, welche Bezirke und Orte in der Stadt Wien von den Studienteilnehmer*innen aus welchen Gründen als Angsträume bzw. Gefahrenzonen für LGBTIQs wahrgenommen werden. Besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf der Frage, ob die Identifizierung von Wiens klassischen Arbeiter*innenbezirken als Problembezirke für LGBTIQs als Manifestationen rassisierter und klassisierter Stadt- und Raumkonstruktionen gelesen werden können. Unser Beitrag diskutiert und situiert die Ergebnisse der Studie demnach im Kontext einer „Kolonialität des Städtischen“ (Ha 2017: 75) und etablierter kolonialer Genealogien und Grenzziehungen zwischen Zonen der (sexuellen) Entwicklung, Aufklärung und Moderne sowie ‚rückständigen‘ Räumen der Barbarei und Gewalt.

Powering community electrical loads in Cameroon using off-grid hybrid energy systems
Authors: Nkwetta Dan Nchelatebe
Published: March 2020

The millions of users in developing countries often live far off the electric grid (rural areas) which seems not very cost effective extending the national grid to these rural areas as per respective governments. Africa’s total primary energy supply has seen an increasing annual rate of about 3%, seeming to be the highest among all other continents. The African continent as a whole is endowed with large renewable energy potential, varying in type across diverse geographic locations. These resources, and the settings in which they exist, can point to country or regional specific renewable energy solutions to fit each nation’s strengths and needs. In Sub-Saharan Africa, reliable access to electric power must be consider a basic precondition to improve people’s lives as it further promote education, health care and economic growth via the creation of sustainable and clean energy jobs. Until recently, renewable energy technologies (RETs) have been confronted with a huge up-front cost and technologies in development but massive and global deployment of renewable energy systems has led to significant cost reductions and performance improvements and the hope is to see increasing uptake of RETs by African countries. Cameroon a Central African country is heavily reliant on hydropower, which contributes an estimated 60% to the country’s total installed 1,400MW capacity in 2015. In addition, there is constants power failure due to the non-reliability of the electric grid and load shedding to meet increasing demand. However, climate change poses additional huge risk (large reservoirs and dams drying up) and to meet the increasing demand, Cameroon is being forced to seek alternative power sources. This paper proposes the need for a sustainable hybrid energy system design and the development of an effective design, simulation and analysis approach of stand-alone off-grid in Cameroon as a potential optimal solution to help power community electrical loads. Finding an optimized mix of renewable energy technologies for Bandjoun and Muyuka were the goals of this paper.

Authors: Da Silva Oliveira Rafaela , Melo Silva Waldiene , Joventino Prati Wesley , Hartuique Rufino Pablo Carlos , Páscoa da Veiga Frade Santana Raquel , Kempfer Bassoli Bruna , Da Silva Francisco Carlos
Published: March 2020

Introdução: O fator nuclear eritroide 2 relacionado ao fator 2 (Nrf2) desempenha papel fundamental na expressão de genes mediados por elemento de resposta antioxidante (ERA); sendo assim, é uma via importante para proteger as células de substâncias carcinogênicas. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura acerca da ação quimiopreventiva dos fitoquímicos por meio da regulação do fator de transcrição Nrf2. Método: O levantamento de artigos para a revisão integrativa da literatura sobre essa temática foi realizado nos periódicos indexados nas bases de dados: Google Acadêmico, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect e SpringerLink, utilizando-se os descritores advindos do MeSH: fitoquímicos, radicais livres, estresse oxidativo, carcinogênese, quimioprevenção e Nrf2. Os critérios de seleção foram artigos publicados de 2000 a 2019, relacionados, ou que investiguem diretamente a atuação de fitoquímicos no fator de transcrição Nrf2, e a prevenção do desenvolvimento de câncer. Resultados: Foram selecionados 58 artigos que estavam relacionados com o objetivo da revisão. Os estudos revisados apontaram que fitoquímicos, tais como resveratrol, curcumina, isotiocianato, luteolina, entre outros, atuam na ativação da via Nrf2, utilizando diferentes mecanismos, sendo eles dependentes ou independentes da proteína repressora Kelch-Like Epichlorohydrin-Associated Protein 1. Conclusão: Diante disso, conclui-se que a modulação do fator de transcrição Nrf2 é um mecanismo que se configura como um importante mediador no que concerne compostos nocivos ao organismo humano, e que a atuação dos fitoquímicos nessa via contribui para a redução do risco de câncer. No entanto, ainda não são completamente elucidados todos os mecanismos utilizados pelos fitoquímicos, sendo necessários ulteriores estudos na área.
Panorama da hanseníase entre as macrorregiões brasileiras de 2015 a 2018
Authors: Azevedo Vanessa Moita , Lacerda Bruna Soares , Fecury Amanda Alves
Published: March 2020

Introdução: Hanseníase é uma doença de elevado risco de contágio. No Brasil, o número de casos notificados ainda é alto e varia entre as regiões. Conhecer o perfil epidemiológico da doença faz-se necessário para avaliar a efetividade das políticas de erradicação. Objetivo: Avaliar o panorama epidemiológico da Hanseníase entre as macrorregiões brasileiras, no período de 2015 a 2018. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo analítico, retrospectivo, transversal, por meio do levantamento de casos novos de hanseníase fornecidos pelo DATASUS, selecionando-se as opções “Epidemiológicas e morbidade”, “Casos de Hanseníase”, “Hanseníase”, “Brasil por região/unidade federativa” e “2015”, “2016”, “2017” e “2018”. Resultados: Os dados do Brasil indicam que a região Centro-Oeste possui a maior taxa de detecção de casos novos do Brasil (0,135), seguida pelo Norte (0,115) e as menores taxas estão no Sul e Sudeste (0,011 e 0,017, respectivamente), para cada 100 habitantes. Além disso, observa-se redução dos números de casos novos no decorrer dos anos no Nordeste, Sudeste e Sul, enquanto no Norte e Centro-Oeste foi verificado aumento destes. Dentre os Estados, Roraima apresentou o menor número de casos novos (394) no período avaliado, enquanto o Mato Grosso teve o maior número (13.195). Conclusões: A heterogeneidade na detecção de casos de hanseníase entre os Estados é elevada, podendo estar relacionada à capacidade diagnóstica dos Municípios, o acesso aos serviços de saúde, as diferenças estruturais e as especificidades das regiões, como áreas de difícil acesso e de grandes extensões territoriais. Diante disso, percebe-se que pode haver uma subnotificação entre os Estados, justificando a necessidade de promover capacitação profissional para um diagnóstico precoce, reforço das ações de vigilância e da alimentação dos sistemas de notificação e maior integração dos níveis de atenção de saúde.

Published: March 2020

Abstract: Crime against humanity is still happening in some parts of the world for several reasons, includes the conflict of interest, politics as well as religion. It makes the victims like the Rohingya ethnic have to flee for finding peace and a secure place to survive. Non-Refoulement Principle which stated in 1951 Refugee Convention is being an important principle as the tools to protect the refugee and stateless person. In the Rohingya case, Bangladesh has argued about the ‘security problem’ of Rohingya’s pose, and Bangladesh also stated it became an important reason in sending the Rohingya back. From March 1, 2019, Bangladesh Authority no longer accepts refugees from Rohingya. The research aims to know further on the implementation of Non-Refoulement principle. In addition, the research was made by using library research analysis as the method of research; whole data and information that contained on the research were collected through literature review by referring to books, journals, articles and websites. The research found that Bangladesh does not apply the Non-Refoulement principle and violates the Humanitarian Assistance principle. Even though ‘security issues’ have been raised as land to repatriate refugees by Bangladesh to Myanmar, it cannot be applied and impose Non-Refoulement obligations to Bangladesh as a matter of customary international law. Keywords: Non-Refoulement Principles; Refugees; Stateless; Humanitarian Assistance

The triangular space of abiotic stress tolerance in woody species: a unified trade-off model
Authors: PUGLIELLI GIACOMO , Hutchings Michael J. , Laanisto Lauri
Published: March 2020

Tolerance of abiotic stress in woody plants is known to be constrained by biological trade-offs between different forms of stress, shade and drought in particular. However, there is still considerable uncertainty about the relationship between tolerances, and the limits on tolerance combinations. Using the most extensive database available on tolerance of shade, drought, waterlogging and cold in woody species, we demonstrate that stress tolerance combinations can be summarized by two PCA dimensions defining a triangular stress tolerance space (STS). The first dimension reflects segregation between drought- and waterlogging-tolerant species. The second reflects shade tolerance, which is independent of the other tolerances. The shape of the STS was compared with theoretical surfaces generated from several prominent theories that assume different interdependence relationships between stress tolerances. This allowed us to define the limits of shade, drought, waterlogging and cold tolerance combinations across the 799 woody species in the database. The STS reconciles all major theories about trade-offs between abiotic stress tolerances. It provides a unified trade-off model and a set of coordinates that can be used to examine how other aspects of plant biology, such as plant functional traits, change within the limits of abiotic stress tolerance.

The evaluations occurred at the start and 1 week after the end of ten oscillatory vibration therapy. The results were analyzing using a paired student"™s t-test with interval confidence of 95% (P-Value <0.05). Results: Thirty women took part in the research, with age of 33 ± 9 years, weight of 62 ± 11 kg, height of 1.66 ± 0.06 m, BMI of 22 ± 2 kg/m2. The measurements of perimetry, adipometry, analysis of subcutaneous tissue thickness by means of diagnostic ultrasound and analysis of skin viscoelasticity did not present significant alterations. However, the CSS variable of the right gluteus (7.3 ± 1.8 to 5.8 ± 1.6 â‰¤ 0.0001), left gluteus (7.2 ± 1.9 to 5.8 ± 1.6= 0.0001), right thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.4 = 0.0004), left thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.3 = 0.0004) and Celluquol® (59 ± 16 to 49 ± 16 = 0.022) presented significant difference. Conclusion: The multi-directional oscillatory vibration therapy is an effective and efficient therapy for the treatment of cellulite; however, for the treatment of body remodeling, it must be further evaluated and studied.Keywords: vibration platform, vibration, cellulite, body contour, aesthetic medicine.

Introdução: O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura investigando os efeitos do treino de equilí­brio na velocidade de marcha, mobilidade e qualidade de vida de indiví­duos hemiparéticos. Métodos: Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados Medline, Cinahl, Web of Science, Lilacs e PEDro, sem restrição em relação ao idioma e ano de publicação do estudo. Os artigos foram avaliados pelo tí­tulo, resumo e posteriormente pelo texto completo e, enfim, selecionados em relação í  elegibilidade por dois autores independentes. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos experimentais incluí­dos foi avaliada de acordo com a escala PEDro. Resultados: Oito artigos foram incluí­dos na presente revisão. A descrição dos resultados sugere que o treino de equilí­brio pode ser eficaz para aumentar a velocidade de marcha e melhorar a mobilidade de indiví­duos hemiparéticos. Embora esses resultados sejam promissores, os estudos apresentam uma qualidade metodológica entre moderada a baixa. Além disso, os efeitos na participação social/qualidade de vida ainda são inconclusivos, uma vez que apenas um estudo avaliou essa variável. Conclusão: O treino de equilí­brio parece melhorar a velocidade de marcha e mobilidade de indiví­duos hemiparéticos, porém o efeito na participação social ainda deve ser melhor investigado.Palavras-chave: acidente vascular cerebral, equilí­brio postural, participação social.

The Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre) has been designed and validated to measure functional capacity during daily living activities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but is now used in several other situations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of TGlittre in a sample of overweight and obese eutrophic elderly. This was an experimental and cross-sectional study, which included 21 elderly women, allocated by BMI, in eutrophic (n = 8), overweight (n = 6) and obese (n = 7) groups. They were assessed for functional capacity (TGlittre and 6MWT), quality of life (QOL) with the questionnaire World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older People (WHOQOL-OLD) and handgrip strength (HGS). TGlittre correlated with age (p = 0.0040) and with 6MWT (p = 0.0086), but no statistical difference was found in TGlittre's performance time and the distance covered in 6MWT between groups. TGlittre did not correlate with HGS (p = 0.1493) and WHOQOL-Old (p = 0.0905). The data obtained in the present study corroborate that TGlittre is used as a functional measurement variable in the elderly population.Keywords: aged, obesity, exercise intolerance.­­­

ResumoCom o advento da globalização a partir do iní­cio dos anos 1980 nos paí­ses centrais e dos anos 1990 no Brasil, e das mudanças decorrentes da reestruturação produtiva do trabalho, os trabalhadores, de forma geral, sofreram profundas mudanças no seu cotidiano laboral. Além dos prejuí­zos trazidos para o trabalhador, a ocorrência de acidentes e doenças relacionadas com o trabalho enseja custosa toda sociedade e estado, consequentemente, os trabalhadores acometidos pelas LER/DORT possuem direito indenizatório tanto no âmbito previdenciário, quanto no âmbito civil. Os procedimentos requisitados por autoridade judiciária visando apontar os fatos de natureza especí­fica necessária são esclarecimento de um processo chamado de perí­cia judicial, o perito é indiví­duo de confiança do juiz, sendo até denominado de os olhos e os ouvidos do juiz. Não há qualquer menção no Código de Processo Civil Brasileiro (CPC) que estabeleça restrição de natureza profissional quanto í  escolha do perito, ficando a cargo do juiz a escolha do profissional que lhe assistirá no caso, o novo CPC, por sua vez, mantém este entendimento. Deve-se ressaltar que o alvo do fisioterapeuta é a perí­cia cinesiológica funcional e não a perí­cia médica, atribuí­da logicamente aos formados em escolas de ciências médicas. O Fisioterapeuta está amparado legalmente para executar perí­cia judicial conforme Resolução nº 381, de 03 de novembro de 2010, do Conselho Federal e Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional, que dispõe sobre a elaboração e emissão pelo Fisioterapeuta de atestados, pareceres e laudos periciais, sendo este entendimento não só do COFFITO, mas também do MTE/CBO o qual reconhece que o fisioterapeuta é profissional habilitado e capaz de realizar avaliações e intervenções ergonômicas.Palavras-chave: fisioterapia, perí­cia, fisioterapeuta do trabalho.

The study is designed to investigate the issue of abortion for rape-victims to draw the attentions of Islamic clerics in order to appraise consciousness and outlook of legal edicts within constrain of Islamic bio-medical and bio-ethical norms. For this purpose, a number of Islamic treatises are systematically examined, and a cross-cultural along with a cross-country assessment of 47 countries abortion laws particularly ‘Muslim-majority’ (OIC member) countries are conducted to assess the momentous impacts on rape-victims. Additionally, contemporary data i.e. legal edicts and various reported rape/adultery cases in different Islamic countries are analyzed with special reference to the circumstances in which the verdicts are issued. The study asserts that mostly the classical and contemporary literature silent on the cited issue except few of the legal edicts. Although, Islamic lit and scripts including bio-medical and bio-ethical has discussed it in general way. As a result, the rape victims appeared that they may be allowed termination of unwanted fetus due to coerced sexual relation. But, whether in preview of, some of the legal edicts which causes intricacy, the state laws, rules and more particularly the religious and cultural aspects may allow this kind of deliberation? A predominantly conventional approach was found, since 18 out of 47 countries do not allow abortion except for necessity. Less than 50% of OIC members legally permit abortion on medical grounds. Nevertheless, there was a substantial diversity between Muslim countries. Albeit, a multidimensional viewpoint is very important due to the consequential psychiatric and social problems, since there is an immense need to provide real solutions to such cases that would not contradict Islamic bioethical principles. Therefore, termination of rape resulting pregnancies may be declared valid, provided with specific conditions and guidelines as per Shariah keeping in view bio-medical and bio-ethical norms.
