Stressors And Challenges Faced By Mexican American Caregivers Of Family Members With Alzheimer’S Disease, Romeo Escobar, Denise Longoria, John M. Gonzalez, Nelda Rodriguez Jan 2026

Stressors And Challenges Faced By Mexican American Caregivers Of Family Members With Alzheimer’S Disease, Romeo Escobar, Denise Longoria, John M. Gonzalez, Nelda Rodriguez

School of Social Work Faculty Publications

Mexican American caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease face unique stressors and challenges, which may be influenced by cultural, socioeconomic, and systemic factors. This population often assumes caregiving responsibilities based on strong cultural values of familismo which emphasizes family duty and collective care. However, this commitment can lead to increased emotional strain, mental health concerns, financial and physical strain, particularly when caregivers have limited access to healthcare resources, financial support, or respite. Language barriers and a lack of culturally competent healthcare services can further exacerbate stress, making it difficult to navigate the complex healthcare system. The purpose of this study …

Executive Leadership Education For Every Emergency Medical Services Professional : A Qualitative Study, Joseph D. Danao Ii Jan 2026

Executive Leadership Education For Every Emergency Medical Services Professional : A Qualitative Study, Joseph D. Danao Ii

Student Dissertations

The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) profession faces numerous challenges in maintaining sufficient capacity to provide frontline medical care amid increasing demand for its services from government officials and the public. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to explore the experiences of EMS professionals on how the lack of executive leadership education impacts their careers and the viability of their organizations. The problem is that EMS professionals widely lack the executive-level leadership education needed to thrive in their professional careers and ensure the viability of their EMS organizations (Basnawi, 2023; Naidoo et al., 2015). The research questions are developed …


Balls, Boots, And Bats: Indo-Fijian Women Reimagining Sport, Masculinity, And Identity In The Global South, Rohini Balram Jan 2026

Balls, Boots, And Bats: Indo-Fijian Women Reimagining Sport, Masculinity, And Identity In The Global South, Rohini Balram

Journal of Global South Sport Studies

In Fiji, physicality and hegemonic masculinity are largely defined by rugby and the military, institutions dominated by Indigenous Fijian men, who are predominantly Christian, often marginalising other races, genders, religions, and sports. While research in the Global South has examined intersections of race and gender, little is known about how masculinity is understood across different sports, sporting icons, and contexts—particularly from the perspective of South Asian migrant women in Oceania with hybrid identities. This paper investigates how young Indo-Fijian women negotiate masculinity, identity, and agency through sport, Bollywood cinema, social media, and cultural narratives. Drawing on a year-long, multi-method participatory …


Disruptive Religion And Ethical Opposition: The Force Of Moral Authority In Indonesia’S Democratic Consolidation, Savran Billahi, Idris Thaha, Suryani Suryani, Mohammad Ezha Fachriza Jan 2026

Disruptive Religion And Ethical Opposition: The Force Of Moral Authority In Indonesia’S Democratic Consolidation, Savran Billahi, Idris Thaha, Suryani Suryani, Mohammad Ezha Fachriza

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This article argues that democratic consolidation in Indonesia cannot be explained solely through the performance of formal institutions. By foregrounding ethical opposition as a missing variable in dominant consolidation theories, it shows that democracy has also been sustained by a normative infrastructure that legitimizes critique beyond institutional arenas. Based on qualitative historical analysis of Abdurrahman Wahid’s and Ahmad Syafii Maarif’s oppositional practices under the New Order and in the post-Reformasi period, the article finds that moral authority enabled non-institutional opposition to constrain state power, normalize dissent, and protect democratic quality. While both figures articulated a corrective and non-subversive mode of …


From Private Custody To Public Policy: The Politics Of State Responsibility For Post-Divorce Abandoned Children (Hadhanah) In Serang, Indonesia, Ali Faisal, Naf’An Tarihoran, B Syafuri, Nurul Ma’Rifah Jan 2026

From Private Custody To Public Policy: The Politics Of State Responsibility For Post-Divorce Abandoned Children (Hadhanah) In Serang, Indonesia, Ali Faisal, Naf’An Tarihoran, B Syafuri, Nurul Ma’Rifah

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This article examines how hadhanah (child custody and care) can be reframed from a private family matter into a public policy issue, positioning the state as a responsible actor when children become abandoned after divorce. Drawing on a normative–juridical and qualitative socio-legal analysis of Islamic family law, national legislation, and municipal policy instruments, the study uses Serang City as an illustrative case of policy urgency. The findings demonstrate a systematic implementation gap between Indonesia’s constitutional mandate to care for abandoned children and local-level governance practice: (1) a legal–administrative gap, where court-based custody decisions and parental obligations do not automatically trigger …


Blockchain Adoption In Thailand’S Elections: Perspectives, Limitations, And The Proposed Tberm Model, Charm Peeraphirom, Waiwit Chanwimalueng Jan 2026

Blockchain Adoption In Thailand’S Elections: Perspectives, Limitations, And The Proposed Tberm Model, Charm Peeraphirom, Waiwit Chanwimalueng

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This study assesses Thailand’s readiness for blockchain-based elections by utilizing qualitative methods and semi-structured interviews with five experts in law, technology, economics, and administration. The data were analyzed through the dimensions of privacy, accessibility, transparency, security, and scalability. Findings reveal that while blockchain enhances integrity, significant barriers exist including insufficient transaction throughput, high costs, voter coercion risks, and limited digital literacy. Legal gaps regarding the PDPA also hinder adoption. Consequently, the study proposes the Thailand Blockchain Election Readiness Model (TBERM) which is a hybrid framework integrating blockchain auditing with physical polling units to mitigate security and accessibility concerns. The results …

Teaching Horizontal Mergers To Undergraduates: The Case Of American Airlines And Us Airways Jan 2026

Teaching Horizontal Mergers To Undergraduates: The Case Of American Airlines And Us Airways

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper proposes a novel approach to teaching about horizontal mergers. We use the case of the recent airline merger between American Airlines and US Airways to analyze its potential economic impacts. We describe the merger, discuss the institutional details of the US government’s decision-making process of approving or rejecting mergers, and explain the merger’s trade-offs using the Williamson model of market power and economic efficiency. The paper provides lecture materials, including an Excel simulation, presentation and sample assignments that can be used by instructors teaching undergraduate courses in intermediate microeconomics, managerial economics, industrial organization, and law and economics.


Biases And Student Portfolio Management Behavior Profiles: An Empirical Taxonomy Jan 2026

Biases And Student Portfolio Management Behavior Profiles: An Empirical Taxonomy

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many investment portfolios are managed by individuals. In order to better understand their portfolio decisions, we must understand how cognitive biases might affect behavior in making these decisions. While a simplistic view might only consider an individual’s management effort, a feature-based approach allows us a more developed understanding of portfolio management. To achieve this objective, this paper develops an empirical taxonomy of portfolio management behavior profiles through surveys of 48 undergraduates participating in the Stock-Trak® project. The four management profiles we define in this paper – Resolute, Insecure, Fastidious, and Passive are distinct in terms of behaviors, effort, and perceived …


It's Just Like Magic: The Economics Of Harry Potter Jan 2026

It's Just Like Magic: The Economics Of Harry Potter

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Do the laws of economics apply in the magical world of Harry Potter? Even though J.K Rowling placed her characters in a world of magic, wizards remain subject to the implications of scarcity. As a result, the series is abundant with examples of basic economic principles. Given the popularity of the series, its use in the classroom is likely to inspire students to adopt the economic way of thinking for life. We demonstrate the pedagogical potential of the series by providing illustrations of trade-offs and opportunity costs, marginal thinking, the power of incentives, and the benefits of trade and commerce.


Productive Complements: Too Often Neglected In The Principles Course? Jan 2026

Productive Complements: Too Often Neglected In The Principles Course?

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many great economic thinkers, including Alfred Marshall and William Stanley Jevons discussed the importance of joint production, or productive complements, and there are important applications. Yet many students today could complete an economics major and never be introduced to this important concept.
