Criminal Records As Political Capital: Renegotiating Ex-Convict Labels To Acquire Village Head Positions In East Java, Indonesia, Mochamad Iqbal Jatmiko, Muhamad Supraja Sep 2025

Criminal Records As Political Capital: Renegotiating Ex-Convict Labels To Acquire Village Head Positions In East Java, Indonesia, Mochamad Iqbal Jatmiko, Muhamad Supraja

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Unlike other new democracies, the political system in post-authoritarian Indonesia has recently allowed ex-convicts to run for election. This qualitative case study examines how ex-prisoners serving as village heads in Probolinggo Regency, East Java, discursively reframed their criminal past as informal symbolic capital to win rural political contestations and effectively execute village bureaucratic functions. Contrary to previous analyses highlighting collateral consequences that disqualify ex-criminals’ political prospects, we report that interactive dialogue has successfully turned negative reputations into collectively consented territorial patronage, specifically within crime-prone village contexts. Through persuasive discursive means, this can then be leveraged to mobilize voters’ political support …

Quality Improvement Project Unlocking Critical Thinking: The Use Of Guided Reflection In Nursing Education, Alissa Wheat Sep 2025

Quality Improvement Project Unlocking Critical Thinking: The Use Of Guided Reflection In Nursing Education, Alissa Wheat

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Nursing education is at a crossroads as the demand for practice-ready nurses increases in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Despite high licensure pass rates, graduates often demonstrate gaps in clinical judgment and critical thinking, key competencies for safe nursing practice. This project addressed the problem of limited structured strategies to develop these competencies among pre-licensure nursing students in a Houston-based nursing program. The purpose was to evaluate guided reflection, implemented as a competency-based education (CBE) tool, to determine its effect on faculty perceptions of supporting critical thinking and clinical judgment. A quasi-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with clinical faculty …

663 Madison Ice, Llc V. Jansen

All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding, the landlord sought arrears and possession. The court dismissed the landlord's petition without prejudice, finding the apartment rent-stabilized because the landlord failed to provide the required deregulation rider to the first tenant after a purported high-rent vacancy deregulation. Although the landlord proved substantial individual apartment improvements (IAIs), the regulatory status was deemed rent-stabilized. Consequently, the tenant's rent overcharge counterclaim was granted for $6,267.50, but claims for warranty of habitability breach, treble damages, and attorney's fees were denied.

Faith-Based Transnationalism: Conceptualizing The Role Of Religion In Transnational Families, Evangeline Katigbak-Montoya Sep 2025

Faith-Based Transnationalism: Conceptualizing The Role Of Religion In Transnational Families, Evangeline Katigbak-Montoya

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

This research brief introduces the concept of “faith-based transnationalism,” or the cross-border travels of religious practices, beliefs, identities, and moralities that not only connect migrants and their left-behind families but also lead to the reconstitution of relationships, spirituality, and landscapes. Faith-based transnationalism is an important analytical framework in the study of the intersections of geographies of religion/faith and transnational migration. This is crucial in contemporary times given the unabated and continuing flows of migrants across international borders, with implications on reshaping identities, consocialities, and places.

Conduct disorders pose a significant global burden, affecting an estimated 5.75 million children and adolescents, especially boys. Conduct disorders involve repetitive behaviors that violate others rights and can jeopardize normal relationships between children and those around them. Major behavioral issues in children often occur in both school and family settings and are closely linked to the roles of parents and teachers as educators and guides. Additionally, children at a young age are highly curious and eager to explore new things; the rapid growth of technology introduces new challenges for them. Without parental guidance, considering factors such as parenting styles, education …

Decorin Evokes A Pro-Lysosomal Pathway In Lymphatic Endothelial Cells, Gabriel J. Pascal, Dipon K. Mondal, Sadie Kim, Christopher Xie, Devanarayanan Siva Sankar, Jörn Dengjel, Renato V. Iozzo

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

The lymphatic system is critical to the body's immune and circulatory system, and lymphangiogenesis, the development of new lymphatic vessels from pre-existing ones, is a significant process capitalized upon by cancer during tumorigenesis. Decorin is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan which we have previously shown to be anti-tumorigenic and a suppressor of lymphangiogenesis. We have also shown that decorin exercises its anticancer properties through its ability to evoke autophagy. Through a comprehensive and unbiased proteomic analysis, we explored the implications of decorin exposure on protein expression within mouse lymphatic endothelial cells. We discovered that decorin enriches several protein pathways, notably proteasomal …
