TECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THE REVIEWING OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN LIEU OF LAW (PERPPU) AT THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY
Authors: Taufikkurrahman Upik  , Slamet Suhartono  , Syofyan Hadi
Published: September 2024

The need for formal legal sources in constitutional activities in public life cannot be ascertained due to a country's dynamics and political conditions. It is still also related to the need for regulatory provisions that align with current conditions. Government Regulations in Lieu of Law (PERPPU) are issued by the President in response to compelling urgencies, leveraging his constitutional authority to enact such regulations. Since PERPPU is a subjective product of the President, as mandated by the 1945 Constitution, it must be immediately reviewed by The House of Representatives (DPR) for approval or revoked if rejected. With the issuance of the PERPPU, certain parties may undoubtedly feel constitutionally disadvantaged. In such cases, the way that can be taken is to conduct a judicial review of the Constitutional Court as has been established in legal precedent. This research includes legal research. It is called legal research because the object of research is related to law. The type of research used is normative juridical. The approaches used in this research are the statute, conceptual, and case approaches. The results showed that many cases of PERPPU reviewing at the Constitutional Court lost the object of reviewing because it was enacted into law by the DPR. The loss of reviewing object PERPPU reviewing at the Constitutional Court becomes a technical problem in PERPPU reviewing that must be anticipated in the procedure for reviewing at the Constitutional Court.

Introduction: The burden of prostate cancer has steadily increased over the years. Patients in developed countries present with the disease early but contrastingly, men in developing countries present late leading to higher mortality in these countries. This variation in presentation is essentially because of differences in screening for the disease which usually depends on knowledge and perception of screening among men. This study assessed the knowledge and screening of prostate cancer screening among men in a tertiary institution in Nigeria. Methods: The study employs a descriptive cross-sectional study of 211 men who were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Knowledge of prostate cancer was graded as adequate or inadequate while perception was categorised as good or poor both using mean scores. Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 22 and presented as tables. P< 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: The mean age of participants was 55.90±7.80 years and most of them (98.6%) had tertiary education as the highest level of education. About three-fifths (58.8%) of the respondents had adequate knowledge while 41.2% had inadequate knowledge about prostate cancer screening. More than half (53.1%) of the respondents had a good perception of prostate cancer screening while 46.9% had a poor perception. The occupation had statistically significant associations with the perception of participants of prostate cancer screening. Conclusion: Knowledge and perception were good among participants who were mostly educated. Occupation was also significantly associated with perception. Educated men may be deployed as peer educators for prostate cancer.

The use of ambroxol is recommended by the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine [1] to reduce symptom intensity and accelerate the recovery from acute and subacute cough. As mucoactive, it stands out by its mucokinetic effects, increasing cilia beating in the airways to remove the mucus. A new study [2] has now shed light on further details of the signalling pathway responsible for the mucokinetic action of ambroxol.
XPRIZE Water Scarcity
Authors: Guyman Elizabeth
Published: September 2024

Water scarcity is an escalating global crisis that affects nearly one-fourth of the population, with predictions indicating that by 2030, demand will surpass supply by 40%. This looming crisis is predominantly impacting densely populated coastal cities and is exacerbated by the limited 0.5% of Earth's freshwater that is usable, strained further by rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate change. XPRIZE Water Scarcity, a $119 million, 5-year competition, aims to address these challenges by fostering innovative advancements in seawater desalination technology. As 70% of the planet is covered by oceans, which contain over 96% of global water resources, desalination offers a potential solution for transforming abundant seawater into a sustainable freshwater supply. However, existing desalination methods, while mature, have not seen significant innovation since the early 2000s and are often prohibitively expensive and environmentally unsustainable for widespread adoption. The competition is structured into three tracks to tackle these challenges: the development of a new desalination system capable of sustainably producing one million liters of potable water per day, the creation of novel membrane materials to enhance the efficiency and lifespan of reverse osmosis processes, and an ideas competition to reshape the global perception of water's value. Through these efforts, XPRIZE Water Scarcity seeks to catalyze a paradigm shift in desalination technology by making it more robust, affordable, and environmentally sustainable. This initiative not only aims to redefine the landscape of desalination on a global scale but also to ensure broader socio-economic equity and enhance global water management practices, creating a future where clean water is equitably and sustainably abundant.

本研究旨在探究在2009年莫拉克風災之後，屏東排灣族藝術家Aluaiy Kaumakan（武玉玲）與Etan Pavavalung（伊誕．巴瓦瓦隆）相關的創作實踐論述，如何以藝術實踐回應氣候與環境變遷。研究者以藝術本位研究觀點，社群媒體為文化場域，從其策展、創作發表後的媒體事件中檢視並建構研究文本，分別從自 述、評論與訪談三類資料中分析其創作論述。研究發現，Aluaiy 將纏繞型態的裝 置藝術視為部落連結的媒介，透過編織、拓印等技法，作為記錄遷徙後女性身分 與環境聯繫的意識；Etan 則是應用Venecik 的文化概念，建構「紋砌刻畫」的創 作形式，詮釋部落傳統智慧與生態關係的內容。最後，兩位排灣族藝術家的情感 與創作實踐，緊密聯繫在耆老與土地的故事、神話的文化記憶，同時也透過作品 再現族語作為藝術實踐回應的中介概念，表徵人文與自然之間的關係，土地是個 人與群體的文化根源，自然則是生命間相互影響的有機體，藝術創作則能作為個 人感受與文化意義交織的詮釋文本，以回應當代氣候與環境變遷的議題。

 

This study aimed to explore the creative practices and discourses of Paiwan artists Aluaiy Kaumakan (Wu Yuling) and Etan Pavavalung in response to climate and environmental changes after the Typhoon Morakot in 2009. Adopting an art-based research perspective and considering social media as a cultural domain, this study examined and constructed the research text from media events following their curation and creative presentations. Specifically, self-narratives, comments, and interviews were analyzed to determine their creative discourse. The analysis results revealed that Aluaiy regarded the intertwining installations as a medium of tribal connection, using techniques such as weaving and rubbing to record the consciousness of post-migration female identity and environmental connections. Etan applied Venecik’s cultural concept and developed the innovative visual art form of trace layer carve paint to interpret traditional tribal wisdom and tribal relationship with the ecological environment. Finally, the emotional and creative practices of the two Paiwan artists are closely linked to the stories of indigenous elders with the land and the cultural memory of myths. The artworks represent indigenous languages as an intermediary concept in artistic practice, which signifies the relationship between humanityand nature, where the land is the cultural root of individuals and communities, and nature is an organism influencing lives. Artistic creation serves as an interpretive text interweaving personal feelings and cultural meanings in response to contemporary issues of climate and environmental change.
