Money Laundering Observation From Outer Space, Agung Andiojaya, Riana Rizka, Titi Kanti Lestari, R.R. Nefriana

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Studi Pembangunan

This paper examines the potential of nighttime light (NTL) data as an alternative data source to predict the number of money laundering events. The study is based on the assumption that money laundering as one of financial crime categories is linked to economic development, and previous research has explored the relationship between NTL and both economic data and crime.

The results suggest that NTL data can be …

Who Intervenes When Jews Or Muslims Are Persecuted? Replicating A Profile Pattern From Holocaust Rescuers, Magnus Lindén, Fredrik Björklund, George R. Wilkes

Heroism Science

This study examined whether the characteristics that motivated non-Jews to rescue Jews during the Holocaust also predict morally courageous intentions among contemporary high school students. A sample of Swedish students (N = 231) completed a survey measuring parental role modelling, empathic concern, risk-taking, and identification with outgroups, and then indicated whether they would intervene to help persecuted Jews and Muslims in various hypothetical scenarios. All factors were significant predictors of intention to intervene; however, parental role modelling lost significance in a hierarchical regression analysis. Risk-taking accounted for the largest proportion of explained variance, followed by empathic concern, with a significant …

Co-Curricular Experiences And Career Readiness: A Narrative Inquiry Of Bachelor's Degree Graduate Experiences, Sydney L. Riu

Doctor of Education Program Dissertations

Colleges are expected to graduate students who are both academically prepared and professionally ready. Although co-curricular involvement has been known to foster leadership learning, little research has explored how graduates themselves view these experiences and their career relevance. Prior studies emphasized that the depth and quality of involvement are more important than participation alone (Astin, 1999; Foreman & Retallick, 2013; Seemiller, 2018). This study explored how recent bachelor’s degree graduates (n = 5, 2018–2021) perceived the role of co-curricular involvement in developing leadership competencies and applying them in early careers. Guided by Astin’s (1999) student involvement theory and Clandinin and …

Think Piece: New South Korean Framework For Conceptualizing Nonkoreans?: Taehanoegugin And The Politics Of National Boundary-Making, Min Joo Lee

Asia Pacific Perspectives

Taehanoegugin is a newly coined Korean term that gained popularity around 2018 when a television program of the same name began airing on one of the Korean cable networks. It is a mixture of two independent and preexisting terms: the first part of the word, Taehan (대한), refers to the Republic of Korea; the latter part of the term, Oegugin (외국인), means foreigner. Hence, translated, the term means the Republic of Korean-foreigners. The term gained popularity enough to be adopted by other television entertainment programs and a sector of the government. What can we make of the term’s popularity? Does …

Authoritarian Transfers, Günter Frankenberg, Fernanda G. Nicola

University of Miami Law Review

The rapid proliferation of foreign agent laws globally has become a hallmark of rising authoritarianism, with these laws weaponized to suppress dissent and stifle civil society. While the post-World War II study of legal transplants focused on liberal legal orders, the rise of authoritarian regimes has introduced a new dimension: the transnational movement and adaptation of authoritarian legal frameworks, or authoritarian transfers. This Article fills a critical gap by developing an analytical framework to distinguish authoritarian transfers from democratic ones, using transfer theory, a central theme in comparative law that explores how laws travel, adapt, and transform within new social …

In Utero Rescue Of Neurological Dysfunction In A Mouse Model Of Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome., Tinna Reynisdottir, Kimberley J Anderson, Katrin Möller, Stefán Pétursson, Andrew Brinn, Katheryn P Franklin, Juan Ouyang, Asbjorg O Snorradottir, Cathleen Lutz, Aamir Zuberi, Valerie B Deleon, Hans T Bjornsson

Faculty Research 2025

Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WDSTS) is a rare genetic cause of intellectual disability that is primarily caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the gene encoding the histone lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A). Prior studies have shown successful postnatal amelioration of disease phenotypes for Rett, Rubinstein-Taybi, and Kabuki syndromes, which are related Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery. To explore whether the neurological phenotype in WDSTS is treatable in utero, we created a mouse model carrying a loss-of-function variant placed between 2 loxP sites. Kmt2a+/LSL mice demonstrated core features of WDSTS including growth retardation, craniofacial abnormalities, and hypertrichosis as well as hippocampal memory defects. …

Super Professor never fumbles, fails, or fouls up because he’s perfected the art and science of teaching. But in real life real-world classrooms, teaching is never a perfectible undertaking. Every educator, …
