"Elimination Of Culture Based Discrimination Against Women In Indonesia: An Assessment Of The Implementation Of State Parties’ Obligations Under Article 5(A) Of The Women’S Convention", Widya Naseva Tuslian

Indonesia Law Review

The notion of cultural relativism has always been a fundamental challenge to upholding human rights values, especially regarding gender mainstreaming and the equality of both sexes. In this sense, there is a view that cross-cultural moral values are not acceptable given thecultural traits that produce their own modes of thinking and ideology. It is thus understandable that Article 5(a) of the Women’s Convention (i.e.,The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women), which is the only provision in international law that seeks to modify cultures that prejudice women, will deal with constant hurdles in countries like Indonesia …

Implementing The Extraterritoriality Principle To Strengthen Competition Law Enforcement In Indonesia In The Aec Era: A Comparative Study, Muhammad Rifky Wicaksono, Kusuma Raditya, Laurensia Andrini, Muhammad Hawin

Indonesia Law Review

The regional economic integration that ensues from the ASEAN Economy Community will provide its members not only with boundless opportunities for economic growth, but also with unprecedented challenges. The demands of a more interconnected regional economy would require the Indonesian government, as guardians of the competitive process in the Indonesian market, to protect it from anticompetitive conduct caused from both within and outside of its borders. However, there is a major gap since Indonesia’s current competition law does not provide KPPU with the jurisdiction to investigate, prosecute or punish violations committed by business actors located outside of Indonesia’s territory. Thus, …

Two Ideas Of Economic Democracy: Contextual Analysis On Role Of Indonesian Constitutional Court As A Guardian Of Democracy, Kukuh Fadli Prasetyo

Indonesia Law Review

This study analyses the role of guardian of democracy performed by Indonesian Constitutional Court in reinterpreting the ideas of economic democracy. Although, in the 1945 Constitution, the economic democracy is well-derived from the mind’s eye of social justice which is established in Pancasila, some economic legislations tends to ignore the idea of economic democracy. Therefore, the Constitutional Court examined the disputed norms through constitutional review in order to maintain constitutional economic order. Besides, as elaborated by the Writer, the “ratio decidendi” stood behind some Constitutional Court’s verdicts used an approach which kept the two fundaments of democracy maintained. Apparently, as …

The Effect Of Mechanical Agitator Geometry On Catheter Directed Thrombectomy, Sanghun Alex Lee

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vascular disease in which a blood clot forms inside of a vein, most often deep in the legs, groin, or arm. Two types of VTE exist, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT occurs when a clot in a deep vein forms, risking embolism and causing swelling as the clot obstructs blood flow. An embolism occurs when a part or all the thrombus breaks off and travels in the circulation, getting lodged in the lungs. A pulmonary embolism is a very serious medical condition and can be fatal if not treated immediately. Current …

Does It Matter Whether You Or Your Brain Did It? An Empirical Investigation Of The Influence Of The Double Subject Fallacy On Moral Responsibility Judgments, Uri Maoz, Kellienne R. Sita, Jeroen J. A. Van Boxtel, Liad Mudrik

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

Despite progress in cognitive neuroscience, we are still far from understanding the relations between the brain and the conscious self. We previously suggested that some neuroscientific texts that attempt to clarify these relations may in fact make them more difficult to understand. Such texts—ranging from popular science to high-impact scientific publications—position the brain and the conscious self as two independent, interacting subjects, capable of possessing opposite psychological states. We termed such writing ‘Double Subject Fallacy’ (DSF). We further suggested that such DSF language, besides being conceptually confusing and reflecting dualistic intuitions, might affect people’s conceptions of moral responsibility, lessening the …

The Panther’S Fang In Search Of Indonesian Television Archives, Els Bogaerts

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The television serial Siung Macan Kombang (The Panther’s Fang), produced and broadcast by TVRI Stasiun Yogyakarta in 1992, has lived on in the collective memory of Javanese television audiences. Likewise, Indosiar’s Javanese drama programmes, broadcast in the mid-1990s, retrieve reminiscences of past times, when private broadcasters served specific ethnic and linguistic audiences with local entertainment linked to tradition. However, since most Indonesian television stations have not archived their audio-visual collections, the public no longer has access to audio-visual content from a deeper past. Hence these cultural resources have become intangible heritage; when the programmes cease to be recollected in tales …

Religion, Communism, And Ratu Adil Colonialism And Propaganda Literature In 1920s Yogyakarta, Sri Margana

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article examines the social realities of literary works and the colonial perceptions of socio-political movement inspired by the ideologies of Islam, communism, and the Just King (Ratu Adil). The main sources for this study are four propaganda literatures published by the Resident of Yogyakarta, Louis Frederik Dingemans (1924-1927). It employs post-colonial literary theory to analyse the colonial authority’s perceptions of Islam, communism, and Ratu Adil, and examines how colonial rulers (as colonizers) positioned themselves as above indigenous society (the colonized) as the guardians of moral, social, and political order.

Virtual Meeting Ground For Colonial (Re)Interpretation Of The Banda Islands, Indonesia, Joëlla Van Donkersgoed

Over Restriction Of Dietary Protein Allowance: The Importance Of Ongoing Reassessment Of Natural Protein Tolerance In Phenylketonuria, A Pinto, Mf Almeida, A Macdonald, Pc Ramos, Et Al

School of Health Professions

Phenylalanine (Phe) tolerance is highly variable in phenylketonuria (PKU) and rarely described in patients aged =12 years. Patients =12 years of age with PKU were systematically challenged with additional natural protein (NP) if blood Phe levels remained below 480 µmol/L (i.e., upper target blood Phe level for patients aged =12 years using Portuguese PKU guidelines). In PKU patients, NP tolerance was calculated at baseline and a median of 6 months after systematic challenge with NP whilst patients were maintaining a blood Phe =480 µmol/L. Anthropometry was assessed at both times. Routine blood Phe levels were collected. We studied 40 well-controlled …
