The transfer of land rights is one of the events and/or legal actions which resulted in the transfer of land rights from the owner to the party other. The transition can be intentional due to legal actions such as: buying and selling, leasing and so on, and also not intentional because of this legal events such as the transfer of rights due to inheritance. This study aims to analyze the current construction of regulation on the registration of transfer of land rights, and find the Registration of Transfer of Land Rights in the Indonesian Legal System Based on the Value of Justice. This type of research is qualitative research. This research uses a social legal research approach. The type of data used is primary and secondary data. Data analysis was done through descriptive analysis. The results of the study found that the registration of the transfer of land rights in not guaranteeing legal certainty and based on the value of justice. This is influenced by the land registration system used in Indonesia in the form of a negative publication system with a positive tendency. In a negative registration system (negative system) with a positive tendency, the government does not provide guarantees for legal certainty for holders of legal evidence (certificates). The government is also not responsible for the data and information contained in land rights certificates. Data and information are considered correct as long as no other party is suing. So it is necessary to reconstruct the regulation of the transfer of land rights from a negative system to a positive system.

This study sought to understand the nature of philosophy of education and the concept of knowledge subscribed by the Madrasahs and Islamic Integrated Schools in Zanzibar. The six headmasters; i.e. three from Madrasahs and three from Islamic Integrated Schools were selected as respondents. Semi-structured in-depth interview was employed for primary data collection while secondary data were solicited from relevant documents such as journal articles, textbooks, official reports and proceedings. The findings of the study revealed that the adopted philosophy of education in both types of schools is that of demarcating knowledge in the sense that Madrasahs mainly focus on preparing the students for the success in the future life, while the Islamic Integrated Schools centers on the worldly success. Based on these findings, it is recommended that all relevant educational stakeholders should sit together and find out the best ways on how to improve the curriculum of religious education so that the graduates will be able to think critically or generate original and creative ideas, possess good hearts and live by Islamic values, be successfully educated, and prepared to face the challenges of their time.

Introduction: Surgical site infection is defined as infection occurring within 30 days after surgical operation and affecting either incision or deep tissues at the operation site. SSIs cause substantial morbidity and mortality. This study was aimed at obtaining the incidence of SSI and to evaluate the risk factors as well as to formulate an antibiotic policy. Aims and Objectives: To determine the incidence, risk factors and the bacteriological profile for SSI and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns at PDUMC, Rajkot. Materials & Method: Total of 872 pus samples from surgical ward were studied from January 2022 to June 2022. The isolates were identified by colony morphology, Gram’s stain and conventional biochemical reactions. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines 2021. Results: Total 272 microbial pathogens were isolated. Out of these, 28(10.29%) were Gram- positive Cocci, 244(89.70%) were Gram-negative Bacilli whereas 64 showed polymicrobial growth. Out of total Gram negative isolates, 108(44.26%) showed Klebsiella species followed by Pesudomonas aeruginosa 72(26.50%). Out of total Gram positive isolates, Staphylococcus aureus 16(57.14%) is the predominant pathogen followed by Coagulase Negative Staphylococci 12(42.85 %). Conclusion: The study gives an insight into bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns isolated from surgical site infections. Surveillance of SSI helps in early detection, appropriate use of antibiotics & to reduce the rate of SSI.

Marriage dispensation is the granting of permission to marry against deviations from the minimum age permitted in the marriage law. Marriage dispensation can be requested from the court with urgent reasons and must be married immediately. This urgent reason has caused debate, because based on the determination of the religious court as a whole it grants or gives dispensation approval to prospective brides who are pregnant or have committed acts prohibited by religious law and decency. While reasons other than that can be rejected by the judge. The purpose of this research is to analyze and find the reconstruction of the regulation of marriage dispensation in the perspective of human rights based on the value of justice. This study uses the Postpositivism paradigm, with an empirical juridical approach that uses primary data. Methods of data collection using interviews, observation, and field systems. The legal theory used in this dissertation is the theory of justice as the Grand Theory, the middle theory of the legal system theory and the Applaid theory of the theory of benefit. The results of this dissertation research found that the regulation of marriage dispensation in the perspective of human rights has not had the value of justice, namely the current marriage dispensation system based on Law Number 16 of 2019 has not fulfilled a sense of justice related to equal rights before the law and Article 28 B of the Law -The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, it can be seen that dispensation is only given to prospective brides who are pregnant. The current weaknesses in the regulation of the dispensation of marriage in the perspective of human rights are weaknesses in legal substance, legal structure and legal culture. The weakness of the marriage dispensation system is that it does not provide a clear understanding of the urgent reasons, causing debate regarding the urgent reasons and giving rise to the interpretation that the urgent reason is that the candidate is pregnant and results in differences of opinion from the judges. Reconstruction of the regulation on the dispensation of marriage in the perspective of human rights based on the value of justice, namely by reconstructing the provisions in Article 7 paragraph (2) of Law Number 16 of 2019, namely that it is necessary to change the sentence or phrase "reasons are very urgent" and amended with the phrase "which based on the interests of the candidate.

Visual impairment has been reported as one of the leading causes of physical impairment among older adults. Age related visual loss has been found to be associated with increased risk of depression. Affective support which usually come from family has been found to have positive impact on mental health. This descriptive study was carried out to determine the association between visual impairment, family support and depression among older adults aged 60 years and above at the ophthalmology clinic of a tertiary hospital. All consenting participants were consecutively selected over the three months study period. Trained ophthalmologist and Ophthalmic Nurse took the respondents’ sociodemograhic data and administered the Family support scale among the elderly and the Hospital anxiety and depression scale. Their visual acuity was also documented. Prevalence of depression was 8.7% among respondents. Both visual impairment and family support were significantly associated with depression. However, further regression analysis found family support as the only predictor of depression.

Anthropological assessment becomes the sole available medium for identification of the deceased in most forensic cases. We hope therefore to assess metrically if the femur bone could be used to estimate the age and sex of individuals by focusing on some rare morphological parameters. The skeletal samples of the right femur from 105 individuals (78 males and 27 females), who are within the age range of 21 and 60 years were harvested. The male samples had 53 profiled and 25 specimens non-profiled for age, while the females had 10 profiled and 17 specimens non- profiled for age. Direct measurements were taken for the marrow cavity diameter (MCD) and cortical thickness or radius (CT or Cr) using a centimeter rule and a sliding digital caliper to the nearest 0.1mm.The Marrow Cavity Diameter in our study is higher in the male population (1.70± 0.05) than the female population (1.43± 0.05). This variation was statistically significant (P<0.05) using the student t-test. The radius or thickness of the cortex decreases with age in females but is higher in the female population (0.73±0.03) than the males (0.68±0.03). ANOVA shows that there is a significant variation across male age groups (P=0.00) for the MCD, MA and Area of cortex. The marrow cavity diameter increases with age in males while area of cortex reduces with age in females. It is imperative therefore that the marrow cavity diameter, the medullary area and area of cortex are good assessors of age and sex.

[3, 17]: On April 10th 2023, the 180th world homoeopathy day is to be celebrated to honor the 180th birth anniversary of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (10.4.1755- 2.7.1843), the father of homoeopathy. The current article is a tribute to his immense contribution to the medical science and celebrates his birth anniversary in 2023. When a patient visits a doctor for any chronic physical or mental problem, invariably the doctor gets the current status of the thyroid gland of the patient. As is evident, the COVID 19 impacted the thyroid gland as well and which continues to manifest problems in COVID 19 affected patients. Cases of naturally non-resolving or long term hypothyroidism are rising in post COVID 19 patients. As cases are rising, it implies that the modern system of medicine is finding its challenging to deal with and it is here that Homoeopathy can play an active role. The current article explores what Homoeopathy can offer to masses while being cost effective and clinically effective as well. The article suggests one treatment protocol that can be applied at the state and national level in the public sector and as well as private sector. It looks at the treatment protocol while aligning with the Essential Drug List of Homoeopathy that is in the public domain of AYUSH ministry of government of India.

Background: The aim of this research is to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in patients with placenta previa due to the site of placentation. Method: This retrospective study included 105 cases conducted in the OBG department of Al AIN hospital for three years (January 2015 to October 2018). All cases of placenta previa admitted during this period were included in the study. Case records were obtained from the medical record section and carefully analyzed to find out the incidence, various types of placenta previa, its clinical presentation, and its outcome in relation to mode of delivery, birth weight, and maternal and perinatal morbidity. Results: Placental attachment site influenced the outcome of pregnancy. Placental attachment to the anterior wall was associated with shorter gestational age, low birth weight, low Apgar score, higher prenatal bleeding rate, increased postpartum hemorrhage, longer duration of hospitalization, higher blood transfusion and higher hysterectomy rates compared to cases with lateral/posterior wall placenta. Placental attachment at the incision site of previous cesarean section significantly increased the incidence of complete placenta previa compared with placental attachment at a site without incision, but did not significantly influence pregnancy outcomes. Placental attachment to the anterior wall was an independent risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage in patients with placenta previa. Conclusion: The site of placental attachment in patients with placenta previa influences the pregnancy outcome. When the placenta is located on the anterior wall, clinicians should pay attention to the adverse pregnancy outcomes and the possibility of massive postpartum hemorrhage.

A long-term ethnic conflict between the Rohingya Muslim and Buddhist Rakhine communities, the legal exclusion of the Rohingya from the 1982 Citizenship Act, and various forms of discrimination for decades in Myanmar led the Rohingya population to become stateless in their own country and fall into an identity crisis. The study explores how Rohingya refugees fall into the identity crisis and analyzes how they threaten Bangladesh's state security and destroy the state's global image. Using desk-based research, the study found that the identity crisis of Rohingya refugees encouraged them to seek alternative ways of getting Bangladeshi passports and flights worldwide as Bangladeshi nationals, creating an image crisis for Bangladesh through their illegal activities. Focusing on how vulnerable Rohingya refugees are and looking at the security tensions within the hosting state, the study recommends changes to make identity policies for people who have been forced to move.

Recently Value-Added Tax (VAT) has been implemented in Saudi Arabia. This study explores the perception of VAT from various perspectives to evaluate recent experience in VAT implementation. An online questionnaire was developed and distributed in Arabic and English to survey VAT awareness in Saudi Arabia. A total of 349 responses were collected and analyzed to obtain the results. The findings reveal that most sample respondents know about VAT and its positive effect on tax revenues and concur with the importance of its proper implementation. However, VAT has raised commodity prices, and its implementation encounters multiple issues. Participants were unsure that exemptions granted to certain services and equipment would leave the taxpayer with a sense of unfairness.

In Nigeria, it is standard practice to discharge petrochemical compounds on sewage degradation in a septic tank, which has led to consistent sewage dislodgement in the septic tank that serves our household. The study was carried out to determine the effect of some petrochemical products, such as petrol, kerosene, and diesel. Some laboratory tests were conducted, which included biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, conductivity, and total coliform count. Under aerobic conditions, the researchers built four different experimental sewage treatment systems in the lab. We used a scale ratio of 2: 1 for the effluent and petrochemical products in order to get a total mixture of 200ml for both since the reagent bottle, we used for the test has a total measurement of 300ml. With respect to the above ratio, 33 mL of effluent and 67 mL of petrochemical products such as petrol, kerosene, and diesel were poured into each of the three samples (i.e., the 300 mL reagent bottle), and the last sample was used as the control. Samples were collected at a weekly interval for a period of four weeks for the laboratory tests. The findings of the tests revealed that there was a slow rise in the BOD and the COD during the second week, but that this rise eventually slowed down and became smaller over the course of time. Weekly, the pH, conductivity, and total coliform count decrease. The abrupt spike in the second for BOD and COD is due to the presence of additional carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules, which eventually decrease with time. This merely indicates that petrochemical products have the potential to be utilised in the reduction of biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and coliform bacteria found in sewage.

This study investigated the effects of cement and lime on the mechanical properties of subgrade soils, which are challenging to stabilize due to high plasticity and swelling potential. The study found that both cement and lime are effective stabilizing agents that increase the OMC, with cement being more effective in reducing the OMC of black cotton soil. The engineering properties of stabilized Chokocho subgrade soil were also evaluated, and the use of cement and lime as stabilizers was found to be effective in improving soil characteristics for subgrade applications. This was indicated by increased maximum dry density values, reduced plasticity index values, and increased California bearing ratio and unconfined compressive strength values. The chemical composition test demonstrated that calcium plays a significant role in soil stabilization, while aluminum can potentially affect soil stability negatively. Other elements such as magnesium, iron, silicon, zinc, and nickel contribute positively to soil stability. The low amounts of lead, copper, manganese, potassium, sulfur, and titanium present in the soil indicate a minor contribution to soil stabilization, but their impact on soil properties and plant growth cannot be ignored. Overall, the study highlights the importance of considering specific soil types and conditions when undertaking soil stabilization projects. The findings provide valuable information for future research in this field, particularly in investigating the effectiveness of other stabilizers and their interactions with specific soil types. The use of cement and lime in soil stabilization is an effective method for enhancing the strength and durability of weak soils, as shown by the reduction in plastic limit values observed in the stabilized soil samples. The appropriate content of cement and lime to use in soil stabilization could inform standards and codes for soil stabilization.
