Abstract

Background: Universities are power houses that generate new knowledge by carrying out research all overthe world. Professors are promoted, appreciated and awarded as the academics who conduct research atuniversities. This did not happen in the case of Mr BM, who was humiliated and punished for his researchactivity.Case History: Mr BM was excited by the prospect of carrying out research when he joined the university in1996. He used his time and money in research and trying to find a gap in the lack of knowledge that he couldclose through his work. He was quite on his own in his department without even a secretary yet managed tofind time for research either after hours or during holidays. Between 2001 and 2018, he published more than100articles in around 25 different peer-reviewed journals. Mr BM boosted the good name of the university,but in exchange for it, he received three disciplinary enquiries, two suspensions and a forensic audit. Allwere intended to discredit him and to stop his research activity. The most painful was to cause him financialloss by decreasing his monthly salary. The history of damage and its results are discussed in this report.Conclusion: Heavy financial loss was caused by the persistent disciplinary enquiries at the university. Theextent could only be estimated by an actuarial consultant. The Ministry of Higher Education must take noteof it.

Abstract

Background: Professional jealousy is known to be rife among academics in various universities, but hardlyreduces their salaries. The productive staff is generally protected from external as well as internal threats bythe higher management of the university, but this did not happen in the case of Mr. BM.Case history: Mr. BM was appointed as acting head of department, a medical officer against the post ofprofessor and head of forensic medicine. He was not paid according to the University’s conditions of servicepolicy document. This was ignored by Human Resource department despite a resolution of the council. Mr.BM kept on receiving low salary to which he was entitled until his retirement after almost 20 years (1996-2018). This brought him close to financial ruin, as his pension was consequently also reduced by half.The estimated salary shortfall could be calculated, but the pain and suffering caused by three disciplinaryenquiries and suspension are difficult to assess without the help of an actuarial consultant.Conclusion: The shortfall in salary must be paid by the health, which is the major (80%) funder of his salaryin a dual employment. This shortfall entailed differences in payment of basic salary as well as allowancesbetween 1996 and 2018.

Abstract

The doctor-patient relationship has a specificity that distinguishes it from the business actor relationship.Malpractice is a very general term. Medical malpractice, medical negligence, and medical risk are notregulated in Indonesia and requires medical knowledge to understand them. This is where the difficulty ofproving negligence and medical risk in solving medical negligence disputes. Medical negligence disputes inIndonesia are settled by litigation (criminal and civil) and non-litigation. Non-litigation medical negligencedispute settlement is a breakthrough in resolving medical negligence disputes in Indonesia, namely mediationand the Indonesian Honorary Medical Disciplinary Council or Majelis Kehormatan Disiplin KedokteranIndonesia (MKDKI). This study revealed that there are no clear rules regarding medical negligence, medicalrisk, and medical dispute resolution to produce identical rules based on structure, substance, and culture.The settlement of medical negligence disputes through mediation is an alternative in resolving medicalnegligence disputes in Indonesia to allow for legal certainty and legal protection for doctors and patients.

Abstract

This paper discusses the ownership of traditional medicine knowledge by drawing empirical data on theexperience of the indigenous communities in Mentawai, Indonesia, and Sabah, Malaysia. For a long time,the acquisition of traditional medicine knowledge and the treatment of patients has been deemed the resultof cultural heritage handed down from generation to generation. However, the complexity of the knowledgeacquisition process and the skill displayed by the healer or kerei prove that traditional medicine knowledgequalifies as intellectual property. An appropriate protection strategy is identified based on the traditionalknowledge ownership map in indigenous communities. This study reveals that not every traditional medicineknowledge and practices are “common properties”. Therefore, the study suggests that traditional medicineknowledge, like any other intellectual properties, must be protected through intellectual property rights notonly to protect the cultural and economic rights of indigenous people but also to protect the environment.

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the effectiveness of online public education about oral health during theCOVID-19 pandemic. Studies show that humans touch their face 23 times in 1 hour and touch their mouthand its surroundings 4 times per hour with a duration of 1-12 seconds. This can cause the transmission ofthe virus through the oral, nasal, or conjunctival mucosa. How oral hygiene can contribute to reducing therisk of Corona Virus transmission between humans is the main focus of this study. Dental procedures carryhigh risk of exposure to Covid-19 through saliva, blood and other body fluids from patients, the use of highspeed instruments also increases the risk of infection in practice. The incubation period of 7-24 days exposesdentists and patients to cross-infection that can be transmitted through the oral cavity and respiratory tract.The study reveals that a great part of the population in Indonesia, especially in West is unaware of thetransmission of the Corona Virus through dental procedures. Consequently, the study suggests that onlineoral education is suitable for raising the community’s awareness of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Covid-19 is a virus that has become an epidemic in almost all countries, including Indonesia. One of thereasons for the massive spread of Covid-19 is the patient’s dishonesty in providing information relatedto their medical history and symptoms to doctors and health workers, causing patients not to be treatedaccording to their complaints. The formulation of the problems in the research, namely: the legal basis forthe application of The Honesty Principle in the therapeutic agreement and the legal consequences don’t fulfillthe honesty principle. The research method used is normative juridical research. The legal basis for applyingThe Honesty Principle refers to the general rules of contract law in the Civil Code and regulations in thefield of health law in particular. The absence of The Honesty Principle in a therapeutic agreement includesan agreement that is defective and can be canceled and compensated for. Especially for an infectious diseaseoutbreak such as Covid-19, a dishonest patient can be subject to a maximum imprisonment of 1 year and/ora maximum fine of Rp.1,000,000.
