Pengaruh Perkembangan Kehidupan Masyarakat terhadap Pengaturan Hukum Tentang Aborsi di Indonesia

The purpose of this article is neither to explore the evolution of US Supreme Court doctrine concerning abortion, nor to discuss about the controversy on abortion issue occurred at The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in September 1994. The discussion is directed to the area of legal policy to anticipate a legal change on abortion in Indonesian Penal Law from "illegal" to "legal" under certain requirements (safe abortion) to prevent women doing unsafe abortion resulting in increasing number of maternal death. To design such an abortion law in Indonesia it is recommended to leam the development of abortion law in various countries especially after the ICP

Evil, Suffering, and the Divine: Reassessing Theological Responses in Schillebeeckx\u27s Work

Human suffering has transformative potential, both at the individual and community level. This article specifically explores Edward Schillebeeckx’s theological reflections on the transformative dimension of suffering. By highlighting the complexity of suffering and the challenges it poses to Christian faith, the article offers seven reflections from Schillebeeckx’s theological perspective on human suffering, which encourage the faithful to face the “unanswered questions” surrounding suffering with humility and hope. In this context, Schillebeeckx’s theological reflections offer deep insights into the goodness of God, which can encourage Christians to respond to suffering with compassion, resilience, and a commitment to justice. Ultimately, this article invites readers to re-evaluate the relationship between suffering, faith, and the search for spiritual growth in contemporary society

Heavy Metal Distribution and Contamination in Soils around Enyigba Pb-Zn Mines District, South Eastern Nigeria

Twelve {12} soil samples were collected from the Pb – Zn mining district of Enyigba, Ameri and Ameka in the Abakaliki area of Ebonyi State, south-eastern Nigeria and analysed for As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Ca and pH. The physico-chemical analyses show that pH is fairly acidic to neutral (5.3-7.0) resulting from the dissolution of the sulphide ore waste dump into the soil. The heavy metal mean trend indicates that As > Cd > Co > Mn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Zn. Ca is also high. The variations observed for the heavy metals suggest that both geologic and anthropogenic activities may be responsible for their distribution. Soil contamination is assessed on the basis of enrichment factor (EF) and contamination factor (CF). The results of enrichment factor (EF) show that using Mn concentration in the background value, Cd show extremely high enrichment, Cu, Pb and As have significant enrichment, while Co, Zn and Ni show moderate to low enrichment. The CF values for the soils indicate very high contamination for Cd, high concentration for As while Pb, Cu, Co, Mn, Ni and Zn show moderate contamination. Keywords: Soil Contamination, Partial Leach Test, Enrichment/Contamination Factor, Enyigba, Pb-Zn Mine

RACISM IN KANT’S ANTHROPOLOGY

Immanuel Kant has been credited with much of the foundational thoughts in the evolution of deontology and deontological outlooks. The basic principle of his moral philosophy is that reason is the basis of our status as moral agents. By this, Kant means that to be moral is to be perfectly rational. But in his rather neglected or forgotten works – anthropology and physical geography, Kant had alluded that Africans lack rationality because of their skin colour. This paper therefore argues to the contrary that Africans are rational beings and that race or colour has nothing to do with rationality. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to show that Kant’s Anthropology is racist and so should be reconstructed. It is on this note that the paper concludes that although Kant’s bad claims reflect poorly on his general philosophical aptitude, they do not necessarily mean that all of his claims are wrong or cannot be salvaged

Development of suitable approximation algorithms to be used in the description of heterogeneous reservoirs for secondary recovery studies.

The prediction method makes use of flow capacity distributions in a heterogeneous reservoir.A number of tests using varying degrees of data contamination shows that the model has the potential to reduce bad data effects. It was also shown that the model can be used to easily determine the reservoir floodable volume, the water injection schedule for secondary recovery operations, and an overall waterflooding performance.Our current capability to accurately predict the performance of a reservoir given a detailed description of its heterogeneities, calls for an urgent need for an efficient method of describing these non-conformities at any given locations in a reservoir.In this study, a suitable approximation algorithm was developed for use in the estimation of reservoir performance prior to waterflooding operations. This algorithm, a two dimensional cubic spline, constructs a smooth, and continuous function of the given data values. This smooth function with continuous first and second derivatives, removes the 'wiggly' and undulating characteristics often present in most polynomial approximations
