The article formulates <strong><em>the research problem</em></strong>: what ideas dominate in architectonics of two laws under scientific analysis (The Human Right to Health of the World Health Organization, Article 12, and parts of the Law on the Health System of the Republic of Lithuania related to the situation of people with disabilities in the healthcare system)? The research methodology is grounded on the ideas of postpositivism and ethnographic approach. The thematic analysis has been chosen as a method of data processing. The findings allow formulating a conclusion that architectonics of legislations of the World Health Organization has a clear jurisprudential foundation; whereas the Law on the Health System of the Republic of Lithuania provides preconditions for various stipulations, which results in people with disabilities facing manifestations of discrimination in Lithuanian system of health care.

At present we are witnessing an increasing population of the world's elderly. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls this phenomenon as humanity’s greatest triumph. Indonesia is one of the countries with the most elderly population in the world. The WHO predicts that in 2025 Indonesia will occupy the fifth position with the highest percentage of elderly people in the world. This article tries to answer what is the latest scientific study of the elderly? What should be the category limit old age in Indonesia? Is the revision of the Law Number 13 of 1998 concerning Elderly Welfare (the Elderly Act) is urgent to do? Finally, what is the role of the Indonesian Parliament on this issue? The researcher uses a qualitative method with a combination of interview techniques and literature studies. This article tries to answer what is the latest scientific study of the elderly? What should be the category limit old age in Indonesia? Is the revision of the Law Number 13 of 1998 concerning Elderly Welfare (the Elderly Act) is urgent to do? Finally, what is the role of the Indonesian Parliament on this issue? So if there is an elderly bonus, the burden on productive people will be heavier. Gerontologists introduce the concept of active aging as a solution. A concept that invites us to see the elderly not as burdens but people with economic and social potential. A solutive, comprehensive and implementative policy that is supported by implementers at the central, regional, and community level will make the bonus of the elderly a blessing. Therefore, the revision of Law No. 13 of 1998 on Elderly Welfare is urgently called for, with several important things that must be included, namely the principle of humanity, the rights of the elderly, elderly data collection, and economic protection for the elderly.AbstrakSaat ini kita sedang menyaksikan meningkatnya populasi lanjut usia (lansia) di dunia. World Health Organization (WHO) menyebut fenomena ini sebagai kemenangan terbesar umat manusia. Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang mempunyai populasi lansia terbanyak di dunia. WHO memprediksi bahwa pada tahun 2025 Indonesia akan menempati posisi kelima negara dengan persentase lansia tertinggi di dunia. Artikel ini mencoba menjawab bagaimanakah kajian ilmiah terkini tentang lansia? Berapakah sebaiknya batasan kategori usia lansia di Indonesia? Apakah revisi Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 1998 tentang Kesejahteraan Lanjut Usia (UU Lansia) mendesak untuk dilakukan? Terakhir, bagaimana peran DPR RI mengenai isu ini? Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, yaitu dengan kombinasi teknik wawancara dengan pakar dan kajian literatur. Berdasarkan perhitungan dependency ratio oleh BPS, pada tahun 2020 ini 100 orang usia produktif menanggung beban 48 orang non-produktif, sehingga jika terjadi bonus lansia maka beban orang produktif akan semakin berat. Para ahli gerontologi memperkenalkan konsep active ageing sebagai solusi. Sebuah konsep yang mengajak kita memandang lansia bukan sebagai beban melainkan orang-orang yang potensial secara ekonomi dan sosial. Sebuah kebijakan yang solutif, komprehensif dan implementatif yang didukung oleh para pelaksana di tingkat pusat, daerah, dan unsur masyarakat akan menjadikan bonus lansia sebagai berkah. Karena itu revisi UU Lansia mendesak dilakukan, dengan beberapa hal penting yang harus dimasukkan, yaitu prinsip kelanjutusiaan, hak-hak lansia, pendataan lansia, dan proteksi ekonomi bagi lansia.

Ein standardisiertes Erhebungsinstrument für alle Aspekte der Funktionsfähigkeit fehlte jedoch bisher.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause illness such as respiratory diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. Respiratory diseases can range from the common cold to more severe diseases. A novel coronavirus outbreak was first documented in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. A global coordinated effort is needed to stop the further spread of the virus. A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been identified in humans previously. Once scientists determine exactly what coronavirus it is, they give it a name (as in the case of COVID-19, the virus causing it is SARS-CoV-2).
