India is a welfare-based nation; therefore, it has an embedded responsibility to protect the marginalized communities. However, drug dependency has always been a hidden phenomenon. Focusing on the Indian scenario, this research critically analyses the implementation of the demand reduction programme, i.e. the National Scheme of Assistance for Prevention of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse which emerged from Section 71 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Although the NDPS Act is prohibitionist in its approach and has criminalized the use of drugs, it has inculcated Section 71 of NDPS Act that stated the government can establish sufficient de-addiction centres for treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents. In order to gain a broad understanding of the implementation the study covered a national perspective by including Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi and Mizoram representing Southern, Western, Northern and North East regions of the country respectively. The treatment and rehabilitation services were analyzed categorically and thematically by posing specific standards such as availability, accessibility, quality and Protection of Human Rights.
 It was learnt that at the regional and community level, no autonomous body was set up for implementation of treatment and rehabilitation, treatment was envisaged through correctional angle, huge gaps in extension of financial support to existing de-addiction centres, weak preventive measures, ineffective training of staff, restricted admission for high risk drug dependents, diverse cases of human rights violation, mismanagement of withdrawal symptoms and prevalence of minimal harm reduction measures. However, on the positive side, the best practices are also being recorded with ongoing study such as positive impact of meditation, yoga therapy, life coaching based on emotional intelligence among other indigenous practices. The focus of this article is to provide a knowledge framework to enhance the quality of policy formulation and disseminate recommendations of the study with the hope that policy makers and practitioners and other concerned stakeholders are better informed of the situation so as to make a positive change in the lives of the users and the society at large.

Indonesia is a drug emergency, yes, this sentence illustrates the current condition of the Indonesian Replubic State. This is caused by rampant drug trafficking and abuse. In Indonesia, data from the National Narcotics Agency of the Republic of Indonesia shows in 2004 that 15% of Indonesia's population was involved in drug abuse (3.2 million) and in 2005 showed that 15,000 people died each year due to drugs (Jakarta Provincial Narcotics Agency, 2009) . The latest data on drug abuse in 2014 has increased by 4 million (BNN, 2015). Do not rule out the possibility of drug abuse will continue to increase in the following years as long as there is no education on the dangers of drug education at the Secondary School level Education is believed to solve the problem of the Indonesian people in order to avoid drug abuse. This belief is strengthened because education is a planned effort to influence others, whether individuals, groups, or the community, so that they do what is expected by education practitioners (Notoatmodjo, 2003: 16). In addition, in RI Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, article 1. Explains that: "Education is everything that is done by someone for himself or done by someone else for him, with the aim of bringing him closer to the level of perfection" From the opinion of some experts and based on the Act –Chief The National Education System can overcome drug abuse behavior. While the education chosen by researchers is Physical Education. This consideration was chosen because in the Syllabus of learning in schools in Physical Education subjects there is some material regarding drug abuse itself. In addition to previous considerations, Physical Education not only aims to encourage physical growth, but as Freeman (2007: 27-28) states that physical education uses physical activity to produce overall improvements to the physical, mental and emotional quality of students as one complete unity. Through sports physical education and health it is expected that students become "physically educated people" who not only emphasize motor skills and movement patterns but can maintain health improvement as stated by Metzler (2005: 14) a person can become "Physically educated person" must meet the following standards: (1) demonstrate motor skills and the skills and patterns of motion needed to display various physical activities, (2) demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of motion, principles, strategies and tactics as they apply in learning and performance of various physical activities, (3) participate regularly in physical activities, (4) achieve and maintain improved health and fitness levels, (5) demonstrate personal and social responsibility in the form of respect for self and others in an atmosphere of activity s physical, and (6) values ​​physical activity for health, pleasure, challenges, self-expression, and social interaction. Therefore the author tries to examine implementing a program to prevent drug abuse behavior in physical education. So physical education, sports and health can be one way or a protector to increase knowledge of the importance of preventing drug abuse

This article describes results from a state-wide survey of social services professionals ( n = 259) regarding knowledge of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Reauthorization of 2010 (CAPTA), clinically based markers of prenatal substance exposure (PSE), and appropriate child protection responses following a PSE referral. Few respondents were aware of CAPTA, and knowledge of clinical markers of PSE and appropriate child protective services responses to prenatal exposure varied according to substance type (alcohol or drugs). Regression models revealed that fewer years in practice and fewer annual drug referrals predicted more drug-exposure knowledge. Fewer years in practice and awareness of CAPTA predicted more alcohol-exposure knowledge. Policy implementation strategies are needed to increase the likelihood that CAPTA achieves its desired intent, particularly with professionals who have been in the field longer and may be less open to changing practice behaviors.

Pasal 46 UU No 12 Tahun 1995 tentang Pemasyarakatan menyatakan Kepala Lapas bertanggungjawab atas keamanan dan ketertiban di Lapas yang dipimpinnya. Pasal 4 Angka 7 Permenkumham No 6 Tahun 2013 tentang Tata Tertib Lapas dan Rutan menyatakan setiap Narapidana/Tahanan dilarang menyimpan, membuat, membawa, mengedarkan, dan/atau mengkonsumsi narkotika. Terdapat MoU antara Kemenkumham dan BNN serta Kemenkumham dan Kepolisian tentang pencegahan dan pemberantasan narkotika di Lapas. Namun kenyataannya, peredaran gelap narkotika masih terjadi sebagaimana di Lapas Klas IIA Banda Aceh dan Rutan Klas IIB Sigli. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan upaya terpadu pencegahan dan pemberantasan penyalahgunaan peredaran gelap narkotika di Lapas dan Rutan serta hambatan dalam pelaksanaan upaya terpadu tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis empiris. Pelaksanaan upaya terpadu pencegahan dan pemberantasan penyalahgunaan peredaran gelap narkotika belum berjalan maksimal dikarenakan tidak adanya hubungan yang sinergis antar instansi terkait. Hambatan yakni kebocoran informasi, keterlibatan oknum petugas Lapas, protap Lapas, keterbatasan anggaran dan sarana prasarana. Disarankan kepada Lapas, Kepolisian dan BNN untuk menindaklanjuti MoU yang ada dengan perjanjian yang memuat substansi dan sanksi yang tegas, sehingga aturan yang ada mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat. Kepada Pemerintah, untuk mengalokasikan anggaran serta pengadaan sarana prasarana yang memadai dan merevisi aturan pasal 17 ayat (5) UU No 12 Tahun 1995 tentang Pemasyarakatan.Article 46 of the Act Number 12, 1995 concerning the Correctional Centre states that the Head of a correctional service center is responsible for security and order in the center, which he is in charge. Article 4 of Point 7 of the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 6, 2013 on the Correctional Centre and Detention also states that every prisoner or detainee is prohibited from storing, making, carrying, distributing and/or consuming narcotics and/or narcotics precursors and other dangerous drugs. In addition, there is a MoU between the Ministry and BNN and MoU between the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and Police on the prevention and eradication of narcotics in prisons. However, illicit drug trafficking still occur in Class II A Correctional Centre of Banda Aceh and Class II B Sigli. This research aims to know and explain integrated prevention and suppression efforts of drug abuses at correction center and obstacles faced in integrated prevention and suppression efforts of drug abuses at correction center. The research shows that integrated prevention and suppression efforts of drug abuses at correction center have not been working maximal, as there is no synergic relationship between related institutions. The obstacles is, namely information leakage, the involvement of officers, criminal procedures, lack of budget and infrastructure. It is recommended that the Centre, the police and the BNN to follow up existing MoUs with agreements containing substance and strict sanctions, so that existing rules have binding legal force. The government should allocate sufficient budget and the provision of adequate infrastructure facilities and revise the Article 17 point (5) of the Act Number 12, 1995 concerning the Correctional Centre.

The classical oral anticoagulants are increasingly being replaced in clinical practice by new antithrombotic drugs, which act by enabling direct inhibition of coagulation factor IIa (FIIa) or factor Xa (FXa). These drugs have multiple acronyms, including NOACs (new, non-vitamin K antagonist) or DOACs (direct oral anticoagulants), and currently include dabigatran (FIIa inhibitor), and rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban (FXa inhibitors). These drugs are approved for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. The "mantra" that DOACs do not require laboratory monitoring is not entirely correct because laboratory testing for drug effects is needed in many situations, because they influence hemostasis tests and in situations in which urgent measurement of DOACs is required. This should be very important to consider in the clinical situation for numbers of indications and increasing numbers of patients on DOACs therapy. The main aim of this article is to provide practical issues to general laboratory testing for DOACs, as well as to help avoid diagnostic errors associated with hemostasis testing. The assays for DOAC quantification must be available in medical centers on a whole day basis, to facilitate optimal drug management in conditions when things go wrong or in urgent cases of immediate reversal of anticoagulation or appropriate administration of a specific antidote.
