Volunteering is an unpaid activity for the benefit of various groups of people, incl. persons experiencing mental disorders. Motivations for volunteering may differ and involve the desire to gain experience and new knowledge, the need to repay to the community and to help those in need, and also the need to feel accepted or the desire to establish new relationships and verify one’s own aspirations. Some of the reasons for volunteering are related to the willingness to “give”, while others are related to “receiving”. The volunteers working with people with mental disorders are a valuable part of the support system. The volunteers can work in many places and in various ways. Volunteering activities are included both in the law defining the framework of the volunteering as well as in the code of ethics of volunteers, which can be a starting point for designing appropriate volunteering activities. Volunteering plays a significant role in supporting people with mental disorders, volunteering activities complements institutional support, and volunteers themselves can support professionals. In view of the role of volunteering, it is important to continue looking for ways to improve the recruiting, training and management of volunteering, and to support volunteers in their work, to minimize burnout and to reduce frequency of volunteers’ turnover, as well as to maximize the potential of every individual.

Mistaken payment is the ‘core case’ of unjust enrichment, and it has had a powerful effect on the development of this area of private law. For Peter Birks, unjust enrichment was simply ‘the law of all events materially identical to mistaken payment’—to be shaped through a process of abstraction from that core case. But this begs the question: how do we work out what counts as ‘materially identical’ to mistaken payment? The most obvious starting point, and that which Birks chose, is the central characteristic of money: money is valuable. Thus, ‘the law of all events materially identical to mistaken payments’ is ‘the law of all events that unjustly enrich one party at another’s expense’.In this article, I argue that this starting point is incorrect. Rather than looking for some factual similarity between mistaken payment and other events, we should identify the role that money plays in justifying restitution. And what justifies restitution in the core case is not the ‘value’ or ‘benefit’ that money confers; rather, it is a defect in the legal transaction that links payor with payee. The payee is not liable because she has been ‘enriched’, but because she is the counterparty to a legal transaction which exhibits traits that there are institutional reasons to disavow. Just like contract and torts, the role of value is secondary: where correcting the injustice in specie is impossible or undesirable, the defendant must pay whichever sum will most nearly achieve that goal.

What happens when being a good doctor requires being a bad citizen? What should a doctor do when living up to the requirements of a professional code of ethics or staying true to deeply held personal values requires breaking the law? What should a health care professional do when the appropriate conduct in a particular case is inconsistent with a more generalized principle that has been incorporated into law? Further, what is the role of the ethical health lawyer who advises a health care provider facing such a dilemma?As health care lawyers advising individuals and institutions, is it our job to advise our clients of all the options available to them, and all the potential legal consequences, or is our role simply to keep our clients acting within the law? Are we information providers, policy counselors, risk managers, or some combination of these?

<em>Role, Education, and Implementatation Islamic law developed along with the development of Islam in various regions, causing Islamic law to have different styles in each region it came. Indonesia is one of these regions. Differences or uniqueness that arise together with the acceptance of Islamic law in Indonesia by experiencing various kinds of changes in accordance with the time, space and place of the law applied. The role of various kingdoms in disseminating Islamic teachings is legitimate evidence, how Islam becomes an integral part of the Indonesian Nation. Changes began to occur when the Dutch colonial government ruled Indonesia. The receptio in complexu theory, and the receptie theory are proof of the attachment of the Dutch legal order in Indonesia which began in the V.OC era. Independence as the starting point of the struggle to reduce the influence of the two theories with efforts to decolonize Islamic law through receptie exit theory. This theory directs that the development of Islamic law in Indonesia is based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, which is marked by the emergence of KHI as a guideline compiled and formulated to fill a substantial legal vacuum in the courts in the religious court that tried the Islamic civil case in 1991</em>

The researchers highlighted the significant role of the Shari’ah corporate governance in the effectiveness and stability of Islamic financial Institutions in Malaysia. They outline the roles of corporate governance (in both conventional and Islamic corporations) through which it can be directed, administered and controlled. However, they argue that Shari’ah corporate governance has different perspective and methodology. The Shari’ah corporate governance primary is based on the tenets of Islam as the primary law and then on other positive laws, such as laws regulating the interest of the directors and the stakeholders. They described the structure of shari’ah corporate governance in Malaysia in order to emphasize and underscore some legal obstacles in the Shari’ah corporate governance and suggest some practical solutions to reform absence in the law.

After more a decade, Indonesian Constitutional Court (ICC) has importantly played a significant role in the law reform, such  as  protecting  energy  security  through  their judgements. ICC comes out of the box, creating unpredictable judgements, and ensuring the justice values. In protecting energy security ICC makes important breakthrough with reviewing Act Number 22 of 2001 on the Oil and Earth Gas, Act Number 4 of 2009     on the Mineral Mining and Coal, and invaliding Act Number 20 of 2002 on the Electrical Power. Those acts contradict the basic norm in the 1945 Constitution. Although creating public debate, ICC judgment should be   appreciated.

Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates emphasizes the status of Advocates as one of the law enforcers who have roles and functions that are equal to the Police, Prosecutor's Office and Judicial Power as law enforcement officers, but there is specialness given by the law to lawyers, namely the independence of advocates in carrying out their duties and profession. The independence of advocates aims to support the implementation of a justice system that is free from power and political intervention in law enforcement, and with that independence the Advocate Profession is said to be a very noble profession (offiicium nobile). As a noble profession, of course, advocates are bound by ethical values ​​that become the guidelines in the implementation of their duties and authorities, where those values ​​are posited as a Professional Code of Ethics. Talking about advocates, of course it cannot be separated from law enforcement, talking about law certainly cannot be separated from the state system or the political colors of certain countries and so on. This article wants to explain how the code of ethics of the advocate profession in upholding the law is how the role of advocates in providing justice to society based on applicable law. In conclusion, this article wants to explain that the code of ethics can compensate for the negative aspects of the profession and with the existence of a code of ethics, community trust in a profession can be strengthened, because every client has the assurance that his interests will be guaranteed, and the implementation of legal aid must be in line with the breath that becomes the goal is protection human rights and ideals of justice.

Abstract Product designers want to evoke specific target customer responses. They communicate their aesthetic intents to target customers by means of the shape, composition and physical properties of the designed product. As a contribution in the development of a computer aided conceptual support system, we developed a theory of communication of aesthetic intents, with a formalism of a mapping between the space of shape characteristics and the space of aesthetic characteristics, describing how aesthetic intents can be related to the shape of a product. We used this as a starting point for empirical studies into respondents shape perception of products, and their appreciation of these products. We analyzed the results of these experiments and concluded that a first version of the mapping can be established.

The starting point for most mental health research is psychiatric diagnosis. If diagnoses are controversial or unreliable, then the results of the research will be difficult to interpret and its value will be undercut. The most widely used system of psychiatric diagnosis is found in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This article looks at the conceptual core of diagnosis in the latest manual, examines the definition of mental disorder, and exposes some key underlying conceptual issues especially with regard to the notions of “distress,” “impairment,” and “dysfunction.” The role of subjectivity and values in the application of these concepts is also stressed and discussed in relation to specific mental disorders.

This article looks at the increasing need to consider the role of ethics in construction. The industry, historically, has been challenged by allegations of a serious shortfall in ethical standards. Only limited attempts to date in Australia have been made to address that concern. Any ethical analysis should consider the definition of ethics and its historical development. This paper considers major historical developments in ethical thinking as well as contemporary thinking on ethics for professional sub-sets. A code could be developed specific to construction. Current methods of addressing ethics in construction and in other industries are also reviewed. This paper argues that developing a code of ethics, supported by other measures is the way forward. The author’s aim is to promote further discussion and promote the drafting of a code. This paper includes a summary of other ethical codes that may provide a starting point. The time for reform is upon us, and there is an urgent need for an independent body to take the lead, for fear of floundering and having only found ‘another debating topic’ (Uff 2006).
