Authority of Health Workers in Telemedicine Medical Services: Indonesian Perspective

Introduction: This paper aims at conducting a legal analysis of the health workers' authority in telemedicine service in Indonesia. This article discusses an issue related to the importance of telemedicine usage in health services. That is beneficial to reduce virus transmission. Therefore, government issued regulations regarding telemedicine services by medical personnel. So, there is a change in the legal relationship that previously occurred in health care facilities into a legal relationship between doctors and patients. This case creates legal problems in the form of legal ambiguity regarding the authority of medical personnel through telemedicine services. Methods: Normative legal research implemented in this research and the approach implemented is the state and the conceptual approach. Results: Telemedicine provides medical services and health information. In Indonesia, telemedicine was made mandatory by Law Number 36 on Health in 2009, particularly in terms of medical expertise. Legal basis of telemedicine in Indonesia is the Law on health however the regulation is general. Conclusions: The conclusion is the need for detailed regulation of the limits of authority of health workers in health services through telemedicine. This article suggests that legal reform of the authority of medical personnel in providing services through telemedicine during the pandemic and after it. © 2023 UPM Press. All rights reserved.

Partitioning and wellbeing indicator common bean for soilless culture system

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-l9) has prompted the need to explore alternative culture systems at the household level to both increase people's resilience and close the gap of hunger inequality and under nutrition of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-2). In this study, Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) was grown using a soilless culture system (SCS) in three different household residences. The partitioning plant's behavior was observed for favorable impact from both organic and inorganic fertilizer treatments. Two-week-old common bean seedlings were grown in separate media consisting of organic fertilizer from chicken manure and inorganic fertilizer (NPK). Sprinkle-on media and foliar techniques were used to fertilize plants with inorganic Super-grow and organic fertilizer based on rice waste. As a control, Hoagland solution was used to irrigate plants in all locations. The result shows that both plants partitioning and shoot to root ratio were improved by the combination of chicken manure, NPK, and Hoagland. Super growth liquid fertilizer and rice waste fertilizer also showed similar positive results. However, the plants were inhibited when they came into contact with household wastewater containing detergent. We concluded that Common Bean could be adapted into the soilless culture system in household residences and also be integrated into the Biophysical economic circulatory model. Concurrently, more attention must be paid to the plant partitioning indicator while research scale-up has the potential to support the targets of the 7 SDGs. © 2022 Author(s).
