When it is first taken from crime scenes, the relevance of some pieces of evidence is unclear or seems inconsequential, but as the investigation goes on, it seems to gain significance. Although footprints are a common physical indicator of a crime, including homicide, burglary, and sexual assault, they are frequently overlooked or dismissed as inconsequential during the early stages of an investigation. Currently, individual identification is done through gait pattern analysis based on footprints. A branch of forensic science known as forensic podiatry examines foot-related evidence in the course of a criminal investigation using specific podiatric knowledge, including the foot and lower limb. Analysis of footprints and gait is most consistent with other pattern-based forms of evidence, such as blood pattern analysis. Most cases of homicide and burglary involve the gait pattern evidence. Additionally, detectives frequently disregard crime scenes due to their familiarity. Science in podiatry is lacking. The current crime scene report, which was researched by the corresponding author (Prof. T. Nataraja Moorthy, henceforth referred to as \"TN\") in India, highlighted the importance of footprint and gait pattern evidence in a distinctive homicide crime scene. In India, a woman reported her husband's murder to the police, but a footprint-based gait pattern analysis proved she was the murderer, not the unidentified assailant. She committed murder while hiding the crime, which is known as \"crime concealment\".","PeriodicalId":336431,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131965961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several hypotheses have emerged as a result of considerable advancements in education at the same period. The five major philosophies of education—connectivism, humanism, constructivism, cognitivism, and behaviorism—will be examined in the sections that follow. These will all be compared to the Socratic Method, which is the main teaching strategy used in law schools. It will be highlighted how the Socratic Method contains other theories and provides specific examples of how some of these theories have manifested in legal education. Additionally, the impact of technology on legal education will be discussed. This article's main objective is to demonstrate how these theories can be put to use in law schools to create highly competent graduates who will increase the effectiveness of the field as a whole. The ideas presented in this paper will be further illustrated by anecdotes from law schools in North America and Africa.","PeriodicalId":336431,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115456072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The World Health Organization (WHO) has paid attention to the development of traditional medicine as evidenced by the publication of \"WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023”, which serve as guidelines for good practice as well as guidelines for research and development in the field of traditional medicine for WHO member countries in general, and Indonesia in particular. The purpose of this research is to analyze relevance of the WHO strategy on traditional medicine with traditional health services policies in the perspective of national law and international law, with normative juridical methods. The implementation of traditional health services in Indonesia has a legal basis, from national law as well as international law, namely \"WHO Strategy On Traditional Medicine”. The results showed that herbal medicine has been widely accepted in almost all countries in the world. According to WHO, countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America use herbal medicine as a complement to primary treatment. As well as Indonesia as one of the member countries of WHO has implemented the \"WHO Strategy On Traditional Medicine\" in the implementation of traditional health services, and integrating traditional medicine in the National Health System (SKN). \u0000KEYWORDS: traditional medicine; WHO Strategy on Traditional Medicine; national law; international law; National Health System (SKN).","PeriodicalId":336431,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One instance of moral deterioration is adultery. This study looks into the current state of affairs and the effects of adultery and discovers that women commit adultery with ex-lovers, relatives, well-known people, and occasionally with strangers. Social media platforms including Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, and Imo are frequently used today to commit adultery. The main causes of adultery include a lack of moral sense, a decaying society, a lack of familial ties, and technological advancement. As a result, adultery leads to murder, divorce, domestic violence, flogging, STIs, honor killings, stoning, and other crimes. It was conducted using secondary resources that were gathered from real websites, books, articles, and newspapers. This study attempts to explain adultery using the opportunity hypothesis, which holds that having more opportunities leads to infidelity. Legal authorities can gain a good understanding of the causes and effects of adultery, which will enable the government develop policies to reduce the practice in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":336431,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134192512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, development has a close relationship with the environment. When development cannot pay attention to environmental sustainability, the environment is not only damaged but can eventually become extinct. Efforts that can be made in the implementation of the Sustainble Development Goals and environmentally sound infrastructure development in Indonesia include the enforcement of environmental laws, examination and supervision, the role of society, and the need for a triangle of partnerships between governments, businesses and civil society in a relationship of equality without neglecting the laws of economics, ecology and civilization. By prioritizing the development of environmentally friendly forms of development from the \"green construction\" plan, the role of the government can reduce negative environmental impacts. A lot of infrastructure construction can cause environmental damage. Therefore, every planning, management, and supervision activity is indispensable at all these stages and the impact of infrastructure development on the environment must support the development of environmentally sound infrastructure in the perspective of Sustainble Development Goals with the aim of maintaining a good environment.","PeriodicalId":336431,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129401653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
