Background: The process of medicalization as a form of biopower is present in many aspects of human life, including vaccination. Aim of the study: The study aims to determine social attitudes towards medicalization in the context of vaccination, and to assess the relationship between children’s vaccinations and the knowledge and education of their parents. Material and methods: This survey-based study involved 180 subjects – 141 women and 39 men. The median of age was 28 years. 32.2% of the participants (58) had a medical education and 67.8% (122) non-medical education. 52.78% of people included in the study (95) had at least one child and 47.22% (85) were childless. The study was conducted using the authors’ questionnaire fallowed by the test of knowledge. Results: Respondents with a high level of knowledge are afraid of vaccination policy and believe that the fact that the state decides on these issues is a violation of human rights. The majority of them do not vaccinate their children. People with medical education vaccinate their children more often than those with non-medical education. Conclusions: In the context of vaccination, it is clear that the level of the knowledge and the number of vaccinated children are unsatisfactory. Repeated myths about harmfulness of vaccinations and fear of adverse postvaccination reactions are the reasons, why parents refuse to vaccinate their children. The control of biopolitics over vaccinations is a part of medicalization, which is strongly experienced by individuals with a high level of knowledge. Reliable information provided by a physician could increase the number of parents, who decide to vaccinate their children.

Regulation on the age limit for a marriage through Act No. 16 of 2019 is based on the spirit of anti-discrimination and protection of children's rights from the adverse effects of child marriage. However, the efforts to complicate and prevent child marriage has yet to have a significant impact on reducing the rate of child marriage in Indonesia. This condition is occurred by the high level of applications for marriage dispensation that are granted by the court. Hence, the construction of the judge's reasoning in observe the relationship between the substance of the law and the reasons for proposing marriage dispensation is one of the most vital and influential elements. The positivism-legism legal reasoning used in understanding of Act No.16 of 2019 is considered to be the cause of the malfunction of the regulation in protecting and guaranteeing children's human rights. By using doctrinal legal research methods, this research produces a conceptual analysis in the form of a meta-juridical critique on positivist legal reasoning which tends to lead to the legism when trying to understand the objectives of Act No. 16 of 2019 and proposes a progressive legal notion as an ideal reasoning framework in producing decisions on applications for dispensation of marriage that have a perspective on the protection and guarantee of children's rights.

En nuestros días, la existencia de recursos sobre dramatización como herramienta educativa es escasa. De este modo, el presente trabajo permite identificar el grado de conocimiento sobre el concepto de dramatización en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria, además de la relación teatro-vida cotidiana y la percepción que tiene este alumnado acerca del uso de la dramatización como recurso didáctico en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio ex post-facto de carácter transversal mediante un cuestionario ad-hoc de 21 ítems, sobre una muestra de 88 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, hemos observado que los discentes tienen un alto grado de conocimiento en cuanto al concepto de dramatización, así como también una elevada percepción de esta como  recurso didáctico en el aula. Sin embargo, la vinculación de las actividades dramáticas con la vida diaria del alumnado es bastante deficiente. Por tanto, promover la realización de este tipo de actividades en el aula favorecería la participación en ellas. ABSTRACT:At present, there are not many resources that would help us to use drama as an educational tool. Thus, this paper examines how aware secondary school students are of the drama concept, the relationship between theatre and everyday life as well as the perception of the use of drama as a teaching resource in the area of language and literature. With this purpose some research has been carried out. The procedure includes an ex post-facto transverse character test through a questionnaire ad-hoc consisting of 21 items. 88 compulsory secondary education students have participated in the survey. In the results, we have observed that the learners have a high level of knowledge regarding the concept of drama, as well as a high perception of this as a teaching resource in the classroom. However, the link of dramatic activities with the daily life of students seems quite poor. As a conclusion, motivating the practice of this type of activities in class would encourage them to take part in these types of activities.

[CORRELATION OF SMARTPHONE USE LEVEL WITH AN ANXIETY LEVEL OF TRAINING PARTICIPANTS]. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between smartphone use and participants’ anxiety of education and training program (Diklat/ Pendidikan dan Pelatihan), the level of smartphone use of Diklat’s participants, and the anxiety level of Diklat’s participants. This research method uses a survey with 106 training participants in the Education and Religious Technical Training Center as many as 106 people. The results of this study show that there is a very positive relationship between smartphone use and participants’ anxiety of Diklat. So, the higher the intensity of smartphone use, the higher the anxiety level, and vice versa the lower the intensity of smartphone use, the lower the anxiety level. Regarding the level of smartphone use of Diklat’s participants, 52% (55 people) were included in moderate level, 16% (17 people) were considered high level smartphone users, and 32% (34 people) of the participants were low level users. Then, the results of the study for anxiety levels showed that 50 people (47%) of the participants had anxiety at a moderate level, 34 people (32%) had high level anxiety, and 22 people (21%) had low level anxiety. The more often the smartphone is used by them in daily life, the higher the level of anxiety experienced by them if they do not have access to their smartphone. Anxiety arises because they cannot send messages, browse, or make a call to people (such as family and friends). Even, the intensity of using smartphones is increasing now as there are many mobile applications that provide facilities for human life such as online transportation and mobile banking so that the absence of smartphones will increase anxiety

Students in institutions of higher learning are those who can be nurtured with sustainable lifestyle practices during their study period on campus. Involvement in eco-friendly programs and practices on campus will be brought into their next community. An individual’s goal or motivation is a value that can drive the change from knowledge into action. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and level of recycling practices among students of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). The relationship between recycling knowledge and practices among 376 UPSI students was studied using a quantitative approach using SPSS analysis. The instrument construct used has a reliability value of α = 0.750. A total of 256 female respondents and 120 male respondents answered the questionnaire provided. The respondents of this study consisted of UPSI students in the age range of 18 to 26 years. In addition, respondents have different educational backgrounds namely diploma (21.5%), bachelor's degree (73.4%), and master's degree (5.1%). The results of the study found that UPSI students’ level of knowledge on recycling is high with an overall mean of 4.344. Based on the standard deviation and mean score, the majority of respondents have a high level of recycling practices with an overall mean of 4.145. However, the association between recycling knowledge and practices among UPSI students showed a weak correlation with a value of 0.141. In conclusion, although UPSI students have a high level of knowledge of recycling, it is not the driving factor for recycling practices. This situation indicates the need to change the implementation strategy of the recycling program on campus through emphasizing other aspects such as self-motivation and social motivation as well as universal values for lifelihood wellbeing.

Some doctors and nurses played a key role in Nazism. They were responsible for the sterilization and murder of people with disabilities. Nazi doctors used concentration camp inmates as guinea pigs in medical experiments that had military or racial objectives. What we have learnt about the behaviour of doctors and nurses during the Nazi period enables us to reflect on several issues in present-day medicine (research limitations, decision making at the beginning and the end of a life and the relationship between physicians and the State). In some authors' opinions, the teaching of the medical aspects of the Holocaust could be a new model for education relating to professionalism, Human Rights, Bioethics and the respect of diversity. Teaching Medicine and the Holocaust could be a way of informing doctors and nurses of violations of Ethics in the past. Moreover, a Study Trip to Holocaust and Medicine related sites has a strong pedagogical value. Visiting Holocaust related sites, T4 centres and the places where medical experiments were carried out, has a special meaning for medical students. Additionally, tolerance, anti-discrimination, and the value of human life can be both taught and learned through this curriculum. The following article recounts our experiences of organizing and supervising a study trip with a group of medical students to some Holocaust and medicine-related sites in Berlin and Hadamar (Germany). The study tour included lectures at universities in Düsseldorf and Berlin.

El presente artículo sobre la situación actual de las cárce- les, se ocupa específicamente de lo relacionado con el ha- cinamiento y las posibles alternativas para su superación. El objetivo es hacer un análisis crítico sobre el verdadero nivel de hacinamiento en que se encuentran ahora los cen- tros penitenciarios, y la relación que existe con la protec- ción de los derechos humanos por parte del Estado, como un imperativo que requiere de su pleno cumplimiento. Esta problemática es una situación permanente, recurren- te y con tendencia a profundizarse, lo que ha ocasiona- do una crisis en materia del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, que ha supuesto necesariamente una responsabilidad del Estado, producto sin duda del estado de cosas inconstitucional que fue establecido por la Corte Constitucional a través de la sentencia T-153 de 1998. Las conclusiones reflejan en su conjunto el alto nivel de inefi- ciencia con la que se ha actuado por parte del ejecutivo y el legislativo en la solución de la crisis de hacinamiento car- celario y la necesidad de emprender acciones afirmativas, libres del discurso propositivo, que no hace otra cosa que simplificar el problema pero no solucionarlo.This article, about the current situation of prisons, spe- cifically related to prison overcrowding and alternatives to overcome them, are part of the goal to make a critical analysis of the true level of overcrowding in which are now centers prisons and the relationship with the protec- tion of Human Rights by the State as an imperative that requires full compliance, this is a permanent, recurrent and tend to deepen situation, which has caused a crisis in the International Law of Human Rights (HR), which has necessarily meant a state liability in this situation, as a re- sult without question of “Unconstitutional Things in the State” established by the Constitutional Court through the final desition T-153 of 1998. The closures as a whole reflect of the high level of inefficiency with which action has been taken by the Executive and legislative branches in the solution of the overcrowding crisis in prisons and the need to undertake purposeful assertive speech affir- mative action, which does nothing to simplify the problem but not in solving it.

Human rights are a key element of the post-Second World War international order. They function as both an institutional framework and as a powerful idea, and have been adopted and adapted by those seeking to address the most pressing problems of their age. The framers of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) never dreamed of including environmental rights in the list of rights that are fundamental to a decent human life. By the first decades of the twenty-first century, however, it has become clear that environmental problems like climate change generate profound human rights impacts. A sustainable environment is essential to the enjoyment of all human rights, now and henceforth, but extending rights into the future raises many complex questions about the relationship between rights and risk, the right to procreate, and whether and how future people can have human rights.

Safety and Healthcare system become the government's main agenda, especially when the country is facing a critical global epidemic crisis, known as the transmission of the third wave of COVID-19. The country of Sabah is a state that reports so many cases of daily infections that up to 600 active cases are detected every day and subsequently places the state of Sabah become a red zone. Therefore, the emphasis on knowledge level is an important aspect in curbing the transmission of COVID-19. Thus, this study was conducted to find out what is the level of knowledge about COVID-19 and the Movement Control Order (MCO) as well as to identify the relationship between these two variables in breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission, especially among the ILKKM KK staff. The study design was applying quantitatively in the research methodology, by the implementation of questionnaires through surveys, while convenient random sampling was used as a sampling method with a total of 267 respondents consisting of ILKKM KK staff. Analysis of instrument evaluation and sampling methods is also discussed in this study. The results showed that the patient's level of knowledge about COVID-19 was at a high level with a mean value = 3.902, SD = 0.423. However, the level of knowledge about MCO is at a moderate level with a mean value = 3.631, SD = 0.323. Meanwhile, correlation analysis showed there is a strong relationship between knowledge of COVID-19 and knowledge of MCO with correlation value r = 0.79, p> 0.05. Thus, the results of this analysis show that there is a strong relationship between the knowledge level ofCOVID-19 and MCO in deciding the chain of infection of COVID-19, especially among the ILKKM KK residents.
