This article discusses the findings of a qualitative study which interviewed 14 barristers about the law-in-action reality of rape cases involving alcohol intoxication. The study aimed to identify how a number of provisions introduced by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 were perceived by barristers, worked in practice and their overall impact in terms of improving the law of rape and specifically, alcohol-involved rape. The article focuses on barristers' opinions relating to the definition of consent as contained in s. 74; the ‘consent presumptions’, with specific emphasis on s. 75(2)(f); the jurors' perceived response to jury directions and definitions; and barristers' opinions on the need for future reforms in this area. It is argued that certain provisions introduced by the 2003 Act are not always utilised in a way that was intended, have been interpreted and applied narrowly and, in a number of instances, fail to assist the jury.

Up to this contemporary era, the concept of maṣlaḥah developed by several leading Moslem scholars seems to be rather theocentric in a way that it is transfixed on the maṣlaḥah considerations contained in the texts (naṣṣ). This means that the concept of maṣlaḥah has so far been shadowed in the textual confinement so that the resulting maṣlaḥah becomes an old-fashioned, stagnant, and less-able concept for responding to the times’ challenges. This study aims to open up discourses and opportunities for the development and reformulation of maṣlaḥah in the current contemporary era. This qualitative study is library research. The data used were obtained from book literatures, journals, and other writings related to maṣlaḥah and were analyzed using a content analysis method. The discussion was done by describing the historical data of previous thoughts on maṣlaḥah from the process of textual confinement to logic determination which was then formulated with the reality of today's modern era life. The results of this study indicate that: 1) from its historical aspect, the reformulation of maṣlaḥah is one which has so far only been assessed in the perspective of Shāri' (the Law Maker), hence, it is necessary to reformulate it in the perspective of mujtahīd by referring to maṣlaḥah associated with the issues’ reality context, 2) there is a need to incorporate the concept of ethics and humanity into the structure of maṣlaḥah, and 3) there present a necessity to formulate a collective-based ijtihād in probing of maṣlaḥah to create a scientific maṣlaḥah-based ijtihād methodology.Hingga pada era kontemporer sekarang ini, konsep maṣlaḥah yang dikembangkan oleh beberapa tokoh ilmuwan Muslim tampak lebih bersifat teosentris yang terpaku pada pertimbangan maṣlaḥah yang terdapat pada teks (naṣṣ). Artinya, konsep maṣlaḥah selama ini masih terbayang-bayang dalam kungkungan teks sehingga maṣlaḥah yang dihasilkan menjadi konsep yang jumud, stagnan, dan kurang bisa merespon tantangan zaman. Penelitian ini berusaha membuka wacana dan peluang terhadap perkembangan dan reformulasi maṣlaḥah pada era kontemporer saat ini. Penelitian ini adalah sebuah studi pustaka (library research) yang dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif. Data yang dipakai berasal dari literatur buku, jurnal, dan tulisan-tulisan lain yang berkaitan dengan maṣlaḥah dan dianalisa menggunakan metode content analysis. Pembahasan dilakukan dengan mendeskripsikan data sejarah pemikiran maṣlaḥah dari proses kungkungan teks hingga determinasi akal yang kemudian diformulasikan dengan realitas kehidupan era modern saat ini. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: 1) reformulasi maṣlaḥah dari aspek sejarah adalah maṣlaḥah yang selama ini hanya dinilai dalam perspektif Syari’, karena itu perlu mereformulasinya dalam perspektif mujtahid dengan mengacu kepada maṣlaḥah yang dikaitkan dengan konteks realitas permasalahan, 2) perlu untuk memasukkan konsep etika dan kemanusiaan dalam struktur maṣlaḥah, dan 3) perlu untuk mereformulasikan ijtihād berbasis kolektif dalam pengambilan maṣlaḥah guna menciptakan metodologi ijtihād berbasis maṣlaḥah yang ilmiah.

Background: Evidence suggests that including the patient in the decision-making process leads to better health outcomes. The objective of this qualitative study is to explore barriers and facilitators to self-advocacy among patients during the diagnostic process in the emergency department (ED). Methods: ED patients (n=16) completed 15-30 minute semi-structured phone interviews 2 weeks to 3 months following an ED visit. Patients were eligible who had at least one chief complaint linked to common, dangerous cardiovascular conditions that are often misdiagnosed (chest pain, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, and/or cough). Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded by two independent reviewers using an inductive thematic analysis approach. Findings: The participants’ average age was 51 years-old (range 26-73 years-old). 62.5% of participants identified their race as White, 37.5% Black or African American, and 6.2% Asian. Interviews centered on the patients’ experience with the diagnostic process in the ED, including expectations, communication with clinical care team, and satisfaction and understanding of follow-up plans. The analysis revealed three common themes: (1) Doctors perceived as having total authority. Patients voiced that they must do as prescribed and not question the explanation given for their health problems by the doctors, who were the experts. (2) Satisfaction without a thorough assessment. Patients reported an acceptance of being “rushed” from the ED without thorough diagnosis or explanation because they expect doctors to be busy. Patients are satisfied with being told their diagnosis is unknown but not life-threatening. (3) Patients reported a high-level of self-awareness of their baseline health status, and used their intuition to seek medical care. Three of the sixteen patients reported developing a dangerous cardiovascular condition, including a stroke and a venous thromboembolism, after discharge that potentially could have been identified in the ED. They each reported a self-awareness that a dangerous health situation may be developing, but a trust in providers’ decision-making to discharge them. Conclusions: The interviews shared common themes of reduced self-advocacy in the setting of the ED and trust in providers’ opinions over patients’ own intuition. In three cases, patients reported developing a dangerous cardiovascular condition shortly after discharge that may have been identified earlier with increased self-advocacy.Implications for Practice: The fast-paced ED system may exacerbate patient vulnerability and impede their willingness to assert themselves. Empowering patients to provide input in the diagnostic process may contribute valuable information that leads to more accurate diagnoses.

One of the important issues related to the elderly is the elder people is significantly increase in the number. In accordance to that, the problems faced by the elderly are also increase and vary. This study aims to examine whether the regulation as the basis for policy formulation and elderly care programs is sufficient. Besides that, this study also tends to identify the translating of existing regulations into elderly care programs in City of Yogyakarta. To answer these problems, research was conducted by combining three ways: document study, survey and qualitative study through in-depth interviews with stakeholders in City of Yogyakarta.The results show that normatively regulation at the national and provincial levels are sufficient as a basis for the formulation of elderly care policies. Nevertheless another serious problem is the operationalization of regulations into the program. The mandate in the law or other regulations was not fully be fulfilled at the level of programs and activities. At the operational level, several programs that have been carried out in City of Yogyakarta have been able to respond to the needs of the elderly. The survey shows that most of the elderly need to join a gathering of fellow seniors and this has been responded to by Rusela program (healthy elderly homes). However there are still some needs, especially regarding the economy and health that have not been responded optimally.

Discourse on the law of apostasy still leaves a debate. The text of the hadith explicitly states the execution of death for those who migrate from Islam, man baddal dīnahu faqtulūh. On the other hand the Qur’an gived a signal that there is no compulsion in Islam lā ikrāha fi al-Dīn. Humans have a prerogative to decide their choice without any intervention of other authorities. The dualism of the understanding of Islamic law resulting from these two contradictory above propositions requires further discussion in order to reveal the law given to apostates. This qualitative study attempts to expose the opinions of ulama on execution of death for apostates as well as attempts to compromise the dualism of understanding of religious texts above. Keywords: apostasy, dualism of Islamic law, Hadith Vol. XIV, No. 2, 2018 ~ 161 Abstrak Diskursus tentang hukum pindah agama (murtad) masih menyisakan perdebatan. Teks hadis secara tegas menyatakan eksekusi mati bagi mereka yang migrasi dari islam, man baddal dīnahu faqtulūh. Disisi lain al-Qur’an memberikan isyarat, bahwa tidak ada paksaan dalam islam lā ikrāha fi al-Dīn. Manusia memiliki hak prerogatif untuk menentukan pilihannya tanpa ada intervensi otoritas lain. Dualisme pemahaman hukum islam yang dihasilkan dari kedua dalil yang nampak kontradiktif diatas perlu adanya pembahasan lebih mendalam guna mengungkap hukum yang diberikan bagi orang murtad. Penelitian kualitatif ini mencoba untuk memaparkan pendapat ulama tentang hukuman mati bagi orang murtad serta usaha untuk mengkomprokikan dualisme pemahaman teks keagamaan di atas. Kata Kunci: Murtad, Dualisme Hukum Islam, Hadis
