Authors: Younis Ahmad Sheikh
Published: August 2023

Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) play a crucial role in promoting stability and trust between India and Pakistan. This article, therefore, examines the different domains of CBMs, including political, military, economic, people-to-people, and nuclear, and highlights their significance in reducing tensions and fostering cooperation. Various examples of CBMs, such as hotlines between military authorities, cultural exchanges, economic cooperation, and religious pilgrimages, are explored to showcase their positive impact on communication and understanding. The paper also discusses the prospects and recommendations for CBMs, emphasizing sustained dialogue, economic cooperation, strengthened military CBMs, and exploring non-traditional security dimensions. By prioritizing CBMs, India and Pakistan can create a more stable and peaceful environment, paving the way for conflict resolution and long-term peace in the region. It is important to note that the study is completely based on secondary data; no primary research or data collection was conducted for this specific study.
Azerbaijan's Strategy to Win the Conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh Territory with Armenia in 2020
Authors: Umarach Maretha Syawallin , Muhammad Ali
Published: August 2023

Decades ago, Armenia and Azerbaijan, two countries in the South Caucasus region, had disagreements over a territorial dispute called Nagorno-Karabakh. In 1921, the Government of the Soviet Union annexed the predominantly ethnic Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh into Azerbaijan. However, after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Armenian separatists seized Nagorno-Karabakh in an incident backed by the Armenian Government. Azerbaijan showed its distaste for this treatment, resulting in fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia, where around 30,000 people died. Before 2020, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could be frozen due to strenuous peace efforts even though various parties had intervened to find the best solution. Until November 10, 2020, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to sign an agreement to stop the fighting that had been taking place in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The ceasefire was signed after Azerbaijani military forces managed to control most of Nagorno-Karabakh. This study uses an offensive realism paradigm to analyze Azerbaijan's strategy to win the conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region with Armenia in 2020. The results revealed that Azerbaijan developed beneficial diplomatic relations with Turkey, Israel and Russia. These countries later assisted. One of them was the assistance of military equipment which enabled Azerbaijan to win the war against Armenia.

Published: August 2023

Indonesia is a maritime country with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covering an area of 7.81 million square kilometers. Consequently, Indonesia has numerous disputes with neighboring countries regarding maritime boundaries in the EEZ, particularly with Australia. Several incidents have strained the relationship between the two countries. For example, from December 2013 to January 2014, there were six instances of the Australian Navy unintentionally violating Indonesian waters during border operations. Other issues include illegal fishing, human trafficking, illegal transshipment, and, more recently, an Australian warship's breach of Indonesian waters on September 8, 2022. Maritime boundary disputes occur when two or more countries have overlapping claims in the same maritime territory. These disputes can be caused by differences in the interpretation of international law, conflicting economic interests, historical or cultural claims, or geopolitical tensions between the involved nations. Maritime boundary disputes can be resolved through negotiations, international arbitration, mediation, or legal processes. In this case, the neorealism theory, developed by Stephen M. Walt, provides an understanding of international relations, changes in power structures, conflicts, cooperation among nations, and the factors influencing foreign policies. By applying Stephen M. Walt's neorealism theory, this study analyzes the policy frameworks of Indonesia and Australia in managing their international relations and the factors that have led to the disputes between the two.

This study recommends structuring a unique selling point based on the people’s needs using marketing sense to improve customer experience, paying attention to Service Quality, and using the Good Doctor as one of the important criteria in hiring doctors in a hospital.
Overview of The Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Implementation in Dental Practice at RSGM Unimus
Authors: Kinanti Arti Dwi Windu , Niami Aulia Rizqi , Retno Kusniati
Published: August 2023

Infections present while undergoing treatment or obtained from health services are called Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). The impact of this incident is the length of treatment and costs provided, increased morbidity, and can result in death. One of the many occupations in the world with the highest risk of infection transmission is health workers working in dentistry since most of human microbial pathogens originate from oral secretions. In contrast, these health workers require their proximity to the patient’s oropharynx. The increase in HAIs occurs due to the lack of application of infection control, so we need to assess this implementation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, issued standardized Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) guidelines to assess the risk of infection in dental and oral health services. This research aims to describe ICRA in the dentist practice at RSGM Unimus. The type of research used was observational, with quantitative analysis methods and a descriptive research design. The results showed that overall, infection control at RSGM Unimus had a percentage of 82%, which was included in the low infection risk category. RSGM Unimus was good at implementing infection control programs.

Sharia certification guarantees the ummah's need for Islamic standardized health services, including food services for hospital patients. Nutrition management includes planning, organizing, implementing nutrition services, supervising nutrition services, and evaluating. YARSI Hospital has received sharia certification from the National Certification Council-Majelis Ulama Indonesia, hoping to benefit hospitals and users of halal, safe and tayyib nutrition services and social transformation for the community. This research aims to analyze the impact of Sharia certification on nutrition management at YARSI Hospital, which consists of planning, organizing, implementing nutrition services, supervising nutrition services, and evaluating. Descriptive analytics followed by a different "Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test" test with a cross-sectional approach. The sample for filling out the questionnaire was 24 respondents, and for the interview was 1 respondent. Respondents are the managers of the nutrition installation of YARSI Hospital. The certification proved an increase in the assessment of being better in nutrition management before and after Sharia certification. Respondents gave an average assessment (positive ranks) after Sharia certification> (greater) than before Sharia certification, and there was a significant difference because of the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) on all factors was < than the value of α (0.05). YARSI Hospital's nutrition services are committed to implementing halal, safe and tayyib nutrition services and are expected to become an example for other hospitals to obtain Sharia certification.
Militant or Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) During/After The Resolution of The Bakassi Conflict
Authors: Achuo Kpwa Stephen
Published: August 2023

The Bakassi peninsula conflict and its resolution had absorbed most of Cameroon and Nigeria's socio-political and economic oxygen and the international community in the 80s, 90s, and the first decade of the 21st century. Following military clashes between Cameroon and Nigeria over the peninsula, the conflict was finally resolved through the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict in 2002 and the Green Tree Agreement (GTA) 2006. The main thrust of this paper is to examine some militant or Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) that operated during and after the resolution of the Bakassi conflict. This paper also aims to examine the reasons why these NSAGs emerged briefly. This paper applied the qualitative research method and, from it, historical consolidation, content analyses and case studies. The study's results revealed seven prominent NSAGs that emerged during/after the resolution of the Bakassi conflict. The ICJ verdict of 2002 and the GTA of 2006 were one of prominent reasons why these NSAGs emerged. The study also found that the desire to control the area's natural resources, fight against Cameroon gendarme brutality, and the poor resettlement of the Bakassi returnees also served as springboards for the emergence of these NSAGs. Through its recommendations, this paper will help the Cameroon government redefine its policies toward ensuring and maintaining lasting peace in the Bakassi peninsula- understanding the reason for the emergence of the NSAGs, its trends, and how best to handle them.
Political Motives of Islamic Parties in Nominating Celebrities as Legislative Candidates for the 2024 Elections
Authors: Subekti Dimas , Al-Hamdi Ridho
Published: August 2023

The National Mandate Party (PAN) is the largest Islamic party that supports legislative candidates from among artists. Therefore, this study aims to explain PAN’s political motives in supporting legislative candidates from among artists for the 2024 elections. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The findings explained that the political motives of material incentives and solidarity dominated PAN’s political recruitment. The material incentive motive is that artist candidates are used as a voter-getter strategy based on their financial strength and popularity. Then, the solidarity incentive political motive tends to be related to emotional and moral relationships. On the emotional side, PAN believes in supporting artist candidates again because it reflects their significant contribution to the party’s internal and parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, from the moral side, PAN has a specific goal to convey to the public that the party has an inclusive principle for all groups. It contradicts the Islamic religious identity attached to PAN, which is not specifically shown in nominating legislative candidates for the 2024 elections.

Immunomodulatory effect of Mesenchymal stem cells: A blessing to combat cytokine storm appeared during COVID-19 infection
Authors: Mishra Kanchan K , Panwar Urvi
Published: August 2023

Whilst the manufacture of a safe and potent vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 is the ultimate goal of the COVID-19 response, research is also in progress to develop novel treatments that could facilitate infected patients in the meantime. Casualty in COVID-19 patients are connected with onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to its cytokine storm phenomenon resulting in abandoned systemic inflammatory response from the release of pro-inflammatory chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL-10) and cytokines (TNF-α, TGF-β, IFN-α, IFNγ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IL-8, IL-33). This implies immune system is not capable to turn itself off once it has generated enough of a defense against the virus. An extended cytokine storm will finally shut down breathing completely, which may lead to death. In the context of COVID19, there is a likelihood possibility of treatment of patients by transplanting Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). MSCs are known to have an immune-regulatory role and MSCs have used in patients that have been affected by the cytokine storm may fine balance the immune system in order to stop the overreaction, without switching it completely off, so that the immune system can carry on to fight the infection. In this review, we have considered the research studies which have used MSCs for the treatment of COVID-19. The cohort study is needed to approve MSCs as therapy, although many clinical trials have been registered to apply MSCs as therapy for severely affected COVID-19 patients.

Published: August 2023

The present study involved the investigation of various leaf extracts of Citrullus colocynthis (bitter apple) viz. alcoholic, acetone and chloroform for their in vivo anti-inflammatory and in vitro antibacterial and acaricidal activities. For in vivo evaluation, doses of the extracts were taken as 50 mg/kg and 100mg/kg and for in vitro experiments, concentrations @5% and 10 % were used in the study. The antibacterial activity was studied against gram +ve (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram –ve (Escherichia coli) bacteria and was compared with standard drug (ampicillin). For anti-inflammatory activity; fifty rats were divided into 10 groups of five animals each. Initially the normal paw volumes of all the animals were noted down. All animals were injected in the sub-planter region of the right hind paw with 1% carrageenan (in normal saline) @ 0.1 ml to induce inflammation. The acaricidal activity of the alcoholic leaf extract was investigated by Adult immersion test against engorged adult females of Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1888) (Acari: Ixodidae). No dose-dependent acaricidal activity of the extracts was demonstrated as there was no mortality of the ticks and absence of significant inhibition of oviposition by any of the concentrations of the extracts. Also the results revealed no significant antibacterial activity but all the extracts demonstated significant anti-inflammatory activity with maximum activity in alcoholic extract at higher concentration.

Published: August 2023

Smokeless Tobacco [SLT], a non-combustible form of tobacco, is consumed by 350 million people in 133 countries across the globe. Worldwide, Smokeless Tobacco products vary greatly in their formulations and chemical composition. Understanding of toxic and carcinogenic constituent variations in such products can provide valuable insights for the development of effective tobacco control policies. Though the assessment of SLT products has been done earlier, the information is not available in an inclusive and handy format as entire profiling. Hence, there is a vital need to develop a one-stop information source providing comprehensive information on SLT products. PubMed and Google scholar databases were systematically searched from 1995 till April 2020 for observational studies on Smokeless Tobacco products and their chemical components. The included studies were evaluated and data were extracted and reviewed.A wide variation was noted in the association of various diseases and specific Smokeless Tobacco product constituents based on their nature and inherent toxicity. The majority of chewing tobacco products displayed a higher risk for users.This review emphasizes the significant positive association of Smokeless Tobacco product components with health hazards. Pathways estimates for smokeless tobacco-associated disease need further analysis. The profiling of Smokeless Tobacco products also requires multi-centric well-designed studies. Further, the information would be a guide for researchers interested in the components of SLT products.
Acute and Chronic Toxicity Study of Vatavidhvamsana Rasa, an Ayurvedic Herbomineral Formulation
Authors: Mahesh S. , Chaudhary Swapnil Y. , Nariya Mukeshkumar , Patgiri B. J.
Published: August 2023

Vatavidhvamsana Rasa (VVR)is a famous herbomineral formulation containing various processed metals, minerals and herbals and is mainly used in treating neurological and muscular diseases. Herbomineral formulations in Ayurveda are always under scrutiny for safety aspects due to the presence of heavy metals. This study is an attempt to evaluate the safety of Vatavidhvamsana Rasa through acute toxicity and 90 days repeated dose toxicity. The oral acute toxicity study of VVR was accomplished in Wistar albino rats at a limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg. The oral repeated dose toxicity study (90 days) of VVR was carried out by administering VVR with honey at therapeutically equivalent dose (22.5 mg/kg), TEDx5 (112.5 mg/kg) and TEDx10 (225 mg/kg) dose levels. One recovery group (225 mg/kg) was kept for observation for 30 days after the treatment period. Vatavidhvamsana Rasa did not produce any observable toxic effects during acute toxicity study. There were also no significant behavioural changes during the entire duration of the acute study and all animals survived during the 14 days of observation. This implicates that the LD50 value of Vatavidhvamsana Rasa would be more than 2000 mg/kg by oral route. In chronic toxicity study, Vatavidhvamsana Rasa with honey as adjuvant given at different dose levels had not produce any major adverse effects in albino rats during the study period of 90 days along with a recovery period of 30 days. VVR at higher dose showed no significant changes in histopathology, hematological and serum biochemical parameters. At higher dose level of VVR at TEDx10 for 90 days, drug has potential to produce changes in liver and kidney related parameters. From the above data, it can be concluded that VVR with honey administered orally in rats was found to be safe in acute toxicity study and also at therapeutic dose level during chronic toxicity study in albino rats.
Korelaty ontyczne pytań, czyli z ontologicznych podstaw erotetyki
Authors: Brożek Anna
Published: August 2023

The main intuitions underlying presented analyses may be expressed as follows. Any question
corresponds to a certain incomplete image of situation – an image with a gap – and expresses
the will of filling this gap. For example, the question "Who loves Isolde?" refers to the image of
the situation in which the relation of love occurs; Isolde is the second argument of this relation,
and the first argument of it is "empty". Asking "Who loves Isolde?" we express our desire of
filling the gap.
To identify correctly ontic correlates of questions we ought to accept the view that semantic
function of questions consists in indicate a certain image of situation and questioner's attitude to
this image.
On the basis of these assumptions, semantic functions of questions as well as many other
important erotetic notions are explicated. Analyses are illustrated by fragments from Roman
Ingarden's famous work "Essential questions" ("Essentiale Fragen").
W kwestii Heglowskiej kategorii stawania się
Authors: Rosiak Marek
Published: August 2023

The paper aims at a critical investigation of the famous initial chapter of the so called "transcendental
deduction of categories" from Hegel's "Science of Logic". At first, some graphic
interpretation of the dialectic of becoming is proposed to show how different aspects of it fit the
general "thesis–antithesis–synthesis" scheme ruling the transcendental deduction. Then the
question is put forward whether the notions involved in Hegel's doctrine of becoming can really
serve any explanation or clarification of it. The not very surprising answer is that instead of explaining anything they badly need explanation themselves. A suspicion arises that Hegel's actual
intention could have been rather to completely confuse a reader at the very beginning of the
exposition of his system, with the hope that after such a shocking treatment he will loose his
criticism altogether. Such tactics can be very effective sometimes, as the famous Blitzkrieg
invented by German General Staff showed once.

Anomalies in the ‘Dark Side’ of Tourism: Resistance to Popular Sites in Samarinda, Indonesia
Authors: Kurniawan A. Erwin , Irwansyah Irwansyah , Hakim Yundi Permadi , Darma Dio Caisar
Published: August 2023

The term ‘destination security’ is found in the customs and norms applied to prevent conflicts between tourism actors, local communities and the surrounding environment. The emergence of resistance to a destination because of its ‘dark side’, both those interested or actually visiting, cannot be separated from the fact that tourists are victims of violations of the law. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of criminal acts on the numbers of tourists in Samarinda. Operationally, the core variables are divided into material effects, non-material effects and tourist volume. The data sample focuses on local, domestic and international tourists visiting popular sites in Samarinda during 2011–2021. The results of the investigation found that both material and non-material effects contributed to reducing the volume of tourists in the short term. In the long term, the presence of extortion, theft, sexual harassment and racism seems likely to reduce the volume of tourists.
Crisis-Led Transformation or No Transformation at All? A Multifaceted Inquiry towards Destination Recovery
Authors: Singh Ramjit , Dogra Jeet , Mir Mudasir Ahmad , Karri Venkata Rohan Sharma
Published: August 2023

Though there has been an upward rise in the number of publications on COVID-19, tourism and hospitality, researchers have turned a blind eye towards conducting a multifaceted stakeholder assessment of its impact on a given destination and the possible effects of recent developments on the destination’s recovery. To address the latent gap, this study first attempts to assess the impact of COVID-19 on various aspects of a destination’s businesses, workforce and the local community. Taking into consideration the recent pharmaceutical developments and ease in travel restrictions, it then explores the effects of such an intervention on the destinations’ recovery process. 142 valid questionnaires were collected from employees of travel agents, tour operators, transport operators and hotels in the northern part of India. Subsequently, PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equation modeling) was applied using SmartPLS to test the proposed hypotheses. Through two individual studies in September 2020 and November 2021 i.e. at different stages of the pandemic, this study not only offers insights into the current status of destination recovery but also tests the validity and applicability of recent publications, their proposed recommendations and future practices. Recovery at a destination was found to be a result of the recovery of its businesses, workforce and community. These factors also had positive and negative impacts on each other. The article further suggests the low transformational ability of the pandemic in the context of tourism and hospitality. It is amongst the first few studies to have carried out a temporal assessment of stakeholders for an investigation into the pandemic’s impact on destinations in addition to their recovery.
Comparison of E-learning versus traditional instruction in transferring a Foreign Language Learning English grammar knowledge to students' writing abilities
Authors: Zyad Hicham , Benzehaf Bouchaib , Yeou Mohamed , Daouia Laaboudi
Published: August 2023

Several studies were conducted with the goal being to identify the limitations of distance education during COVID-19 lockdowns. However, little research has been undertaken to compare students’ achievements in normal circumstances with emergency remote teaching and learning under those circumstances. Such endeavor will by far identify gaps in e-learning implementation in crises and help devise remedies for a more effective technology-mediated environment. Thus, the present study seeks to fill this gap by comparing two groups of Moroccan EFL university-level students in terms of grammar knowledge transfer to writing ability. A convenience sample of 315 participants’ argumentative essays was rated for some measures. In the main, it was found that the students in the traditional group outperformed their peers in the e-learning group at the levels of writing quality and grammar knowledge transfer. The researchers trace this back to several factors including student psychology, teacher training, and attitude to technology and other socio-economic issues.

High-pressure metamorphism in the Kharbey metamorphic complex (Polar Urals)
Authors: Ulyasheva Natal'ya
Published: August 2023

Glaucophane-bearing rocks — indicators of high-pressure metamorphism — were earlier found in the Polar Urals in the Neoproterozoic deposits of the Nyarovey series, in the northern part of the Marunkeu eclogite-amphibolite-gneiss complex, and in the foot of the ultramafic massifs of the Main Ural Fault (MUF) zone. We have discovered high-pressure rocks in the western endocontact of the Kharbey amphibolite-gneiss complex, where they are represented by garnet-glaucophane, garnet-glaucophane-barroisite rocks and garnet-barroisite amphibolites formed during progressive zonal metamorphism. From the western boundary of the complex to the east, temperature gradually increases from 400—480 °C (for garnet-glaucophane rocks) to 495—570 °C (for garnet-glaucophane-barroisite rocks and garnet-barroisite amphibolites) at a pressure of 11—16 kbar. We determined that the high-pressure metamorphism had an areal distribution within the Kharbey metamorphic complex and, apparently, marked the Paleozoic subduction-collision processes of formation of Uralides.

From teaching experience. XII. The origin of the crystal and the principle of equal immediate environment
Authors: Voytehovskiy Yuri
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the search for a concise answer to the question: how does the nucleus of a crystal arise? Although a simple and complete answer is impossible at the same time, an attempt has been made to clarify the problem in three aspects: according to which principle particles are combined into a nucleus, which nucleus have a chance to become crystal, and from which atomic configuration it can be recognized. To model the small polyhedral clusters, the principle of equal immediate environment is proposed. It is shown that such clusters with an odd number of atoms are impossible. Small polyhedral clusters should grow by attaching pairs of atoms. Previously, this was known for fullerenes because of their specific geometry. The topic is important because of the coverage of various quasi- and non-crystalline structures by crystallography and mineralogy.

Öğretmenlerin; etkileşimlerin kaliteli ve iç huzuru hissettikleri okullarda görev yapmaları, işlerini anlamlı bulmaları ve görevlerini yerine getirirken aşkınlık hissetmeleri olumlu tutumlar geliştirmelerine katkı sağlamaktadır. Olumlu tutumlarının artması ise daha nitelikli eğitim-öğretim hizmeti sunmaları bakımından önemlidir. Psikolojik sağlamlık ve prososyal motivasyon, öğretmenlerin sahip olmaları gereken kritik tutumlar arasındadır. Bu tutumların diğer önemli bazı tutumların da geliştirilmesinde katkısının olduğu düşünüldüğünde önemi daha da artmaktadır. Bu araştırmada; algılanan işyeri ruhsallığı ile öğretmenlerin psikolojik sağlamlık ve prososyal motivasyon düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma, korelasyonel model ile biçimlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Şanlıurfa ilindeki ilkokullarda görev yapan öğretmenler meydana getirmektedir. Çalışmanın örneklemini ise Şanlıurfa ilinden yansızlık kuralına göre kararlaştırılan 45 ilkokuldaki 303 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri; “İşyeri Ruhsallığı Ölçeği”, “Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği” ve “Prososyal Motivasyon Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmada; yararlanılan ölçeklerin geçerli ve güvenilir oldukları belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ölçüm modeli, değişkenlerin birbiriyle istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. En iyi uyum değerlerini üreten yapısal modele göre; algılanan işyeri ruhsallığı, öğretmenlerin psikolojik sağlamlık ve prososyal motivasyon düzeylerini artırmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında; öğretmenlerin psikolojik faktörlerini harekete geçirmek isteyen okul müdürlerinin okul ortamında ruhsallık algılanan bir kültür oluşturması önemli görülmektedir.

State of the Nation: 10 Years of Entrepreneurial Law Clinic Supervision in the United Kingdom
Authors: Gregersen Elaine
Published: August 2023

In July 2012, I delivered my first conference paper at the International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Conference: ‘Taking care of business: a new clinician’s experience of supervising and developing commercial case work.’ The audience was sparse. When the chair asked for questions, the room echoed in silence. A few years later, I was called a ‘danger’ to clinical legal education because my students provided free advice to entrepreneurs. The service was criticised as being at odds with the social justice mission of clinical legal education. I remember it being a lonely time. Only a handful of UK entrepreneurial law clinics existed, and we received little attention in research literature.
A decade on, I am still taking care of the Business and Commercial Law Clinic at Northumbria Law School. Much has changed. We have seen the rapid development of commercially focused law clinics across the UK, with a diverse range of approaches.
In this article I will make a major contribution to our understanding of the state of the nation for entrepreneurial law clinics in the United Kingdom today. Using elements of narrative inquiry and autobiographical writing, I will (a) reflect on my journey as one of the first UK entrepreneurial law clinic supervisors, (b) report on the increasing number and models of law clinics offering advice to businesses, and (c) argue for the further development of research in this distinctive and flourishing area of clinical practice.
The Law in the Community Model of Clinical Legal Education: Assessing the Impact on Key Stakeholders
Authors: Bengtsson Lyndsey , A'Court Bethany
Published: August 2023

This article examines a model of clinical legal education where a university law school works in partnership with an external organisation. The partnership enables law students to attend the offices of Citizens Advice during their law degree and under the guidance and supervision of their staff, advise their service users on a range of legal issues. Using data collected from a research study involving student focus groups and semi structured interviews with the Citizens Advice supervisors, this research contributes to the understanding of whether, and how, this model impacts upon law students, Citizens Advice and the local community. This study contributes to the knowledge on the value of this model of clinical legal education from both a pedagogical and social justice perspective. The research raises questions as to how a partnership between a university and external organisation can overcome challenges, ensuring an equivalent clinical experience for all students and that effective feedback is provided to students. The results indicate that there are a clear set of pedagogical benefits to the students and benefits to Citizens Advice with regards to the service they can provide to the local community. The authors argue that this module enables students to engage in transformative and impactful work, whilst obtaining first-hand experience of the access to justice challenges (and other socio-economic issues) faced by their local community. The study will be of interest to clinics who incorporate, or intend to incorporate, an externship model in their curriculum, both in Europe and beyond.

Indonesia secara jelas mengakui dan mewajibkan pemenuhan hak setiap warga negara dalam hal pelayanan kesehatan. BPJS Kesehatan bertugas sebagai penyelenggara jaminan kesehatan yang berjalan sesuai dengan prinsip asuransi sosial dan prinsip ekuitas. Akan tetapi, di samping upaya pemberian pelayanan yang prima untuk setiap pasien, terdapat banyak keluhan masyarakat terhadap layanan BPJS kesehatan, baik itu melalui call center, maupun melalui media massa seperti Twitter. Selain sebagai salah satu negara dengan pengguna Twitter terbesar di dunia, adanya pandemi Covid-19 juga serta merta menjadi alasan masyarakat cukup aktif melakukan interaksi lewat sosial media. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis polaritas serta kecenderungan opini masyarakat terhadap layanan BPJS Kesehatan secara holistik berdasarkan cuitan publik di Twitter. Data tekstual diperoleh dengan teknik text mining didasarkan pada kata kunci yang relevan sebagai gambaran dari layanan BPJS kesehatan yang dirasakan langsung oleh masyarakat. Dari pra-proses data, klasifikasi, pembobotan, hingga menggunakan probabilistic topic modelling, yakni dengan metode Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), diperoleh informasi bahwa sekitar 6 dari 10 opini masyarakat mayoritas ke arah yang negatif, Adapun hasil ekstrasi menggambarkan tiga topik utama, yakni mahalnya biaya pengobatan, terdapat beberapa biaya yang tidak di-cover oleh BPJS, serta biaya pengobatan spesifik ke dokter gigi.

Due to the low content, few studies are focused on the essential oils (EOs) of Lamiophlomis rotata (Benth.) Kudo (L. rotata), which has been used to treat rheumatic arthritis and grasserie in China. However, such EOs may have important pharmacological activities such as anti-cancer. To identify the chemical markers (CM) in the EOs and evaluate their antioxidant activities (AAs), we firstly conduct a thoroughly investigation on their chemicals and AAs, to the best of our knowledge. Light yellow EOs with fresh and elegant smell are obtained by hydro-distillation with average yield 0.11% (volume mL/weight g). The crystals are separated from the EOs through cryoprecipitation, respectively. A total of 55 components are qualified and quantified in the EOs, crystals and EOs removed crystals, in which 21 ones are first reported. As for content, the main compounds are long-chain fatty acids (FAs) and their esters. The most abundant one n-hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid, PA) accounting for 47.1-60.8%, 61.3-69.2% and 17.8-44.8%, in the EOs, crystals and EOs removed crystals, respectively. Seven compounds including PA, tetradecanoic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, methyl hexadecanoate, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone and phytol can be chosen a the CMs in these EOs. The AAs are evaluated through in vitro assays. Three kinds of EOs and EOs removed crystals present some AAs, but not so strong compared with that of ascorbic acid. PA presents pro-oxidant activities in a concentration dependence manner. Usually, the EOs removed crystals demonstrate stronger AAs, and the crystals demonstrate weaker AAs compared with that of the corresponding EOs, which is related to the different content of PA in these samples. This study can give some hints for the utilization of such EOs which are abundant in FAs such as PA.
