When Tinder Swiping Gets Challenging: Women’S Narratives Of Gender-Based Violence As Shared Through Quora, Zivana Sabili, Elizabeth Kristi Poerwandari

Psychological Research on Urban Society

Amidst the popular use of Tinder in urban society, the decision whether or not to date someone tends to be made quickly based on a photo and a short profile description. Simple as it may seem, there are moments when swiping gets challenging, especially for women. Tinder has a notorious reputation when it comes to gender-based violence. Unfortunately, despite the significant increase in online dating apps usage during the COVID-19 pandemic, this phenomenon is still highly underresearched.

In this qualitative netnographic research, we explore Tinder sexual harassment narratives uploaded by women in Quora. Through judgment sampling, 15 answers from 7 …

Biochemical Network Analysis Of Protein-Protein Interactions To Follow-Up T1 Bladder Cancer Patients, Luís B Carvalho, José Luis Capelo Martínez, Carlos Lodeiro, Rafael Bento, Rajiv Dhir, Jeremiah J Morrissey, Luis Campos Pinheiro, Mariana Medeiros, Hugo M Santos

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Bladder cancer (BCa) is a prevalent disease with a high risk of aggressive recurrence in T1-stage patients. Despite the efforts to anticipate recurrence, a reliable method has yet to be developed. In this work, we employed high-resolution mass spectrometry to compare the urinary proteome of T1-stage BCa patients with recurring versus non-recurring disease to uncover actionable clinical information predicting recurrence. All patients were diagnosed with T1-stage bladder cancer between the ages of 51 and 91, and urine samples were collected before medical intervention. Our results suggest that the urinary myeloperoxidase to cubilin ratio could be used as a new tool …

How do right-to-work (RTW) laws impact workplace safety?

RTW laws allow employees covered by a union who are not union members to choose not to pay union dues. These laws weaken unions and decrease unionization. This study explores the impact of right-to-work (RTW) laws on workplace safety using a two-way fixed effects and a difference-in-differences approach, focusing on the five right-to-work laws passed by states in the 2010s.

For my two-way fixed effects analysis, I construct a panel dataset from 2007-2019 using yearly state-level data from BLS for all 50 states with available data. My outcome variables are …

Investigating The Impact Of Edaphobacter Aggregans (Wbg-1) On Arabidopsis Thaliana Development, Julia Talbert

Undergraduate Research Symposium

Signifikansi Aksi Melela Dalam Manga Shimanami Tasagore (2015), Erina Firdausy, Dewi Anggraeni

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This study examines the concept of coming out as part of queer narrative within Shimanami Tasogare (2015), a manga by Kamatani Yūki. Although coming out has become an important concept within LGBTQ, previous related research tends to see coming out as a one-time achievement. This study analyses the significance of coming out in Shimanami Tasogare by using the queer narrative approach. This study applies Klein et al.’s theory (2015) which argues that coming out is a dynamic and non-linear social process. This study uses text analysis and compositional interpretation (Rose, 2001) as research method. Results show that coming out plays …

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This article focuses on the volcanic eruptions in Priangan, West Java, in the first half of the nineteenth century. Even though volcanic eruptions are natural occurrences, their impacts on human lives are viewed as historical events. While such disasters caused damage and misfortune to those directly affected, some people may also use them as a source of inspiration to seek knowledge. Moreover, eruptions occurring in an area were, to a certain extent, considered as a threat to the colonial authorities. Using contemporary news, official reports, and diaries, this research analyzes the relationship between natural events and its surrounding social and …

Vernon Newson, Jr., V. The State Of Nevada, 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 9 (Mar. 30, 2023), Jordan Marchello

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

To determine whether remote testimony by way of video-conferencing satisfies a defendant's constitutional right to confrontation, a district court must find that (1) permitting a witness to testify remotely is necessary to further a compelling public policy interest, and (2) the testimony is otherwise reliable. In this case, the Nevada Supreme Court held that although efforts to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus may constitute a compelling public policy interest, a district court must make specific findings as to why permitting a particular witness to testify remotely furthers this interest. Here, the district court erred in not requiring such …

Las Vegas Review-Journal, Inc., V. Las Vegas Metro. Police Dep’T, 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 8 (Mar. 30, 2023), Lindsay Reynolds

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Pertaining to the Nevada Public Records Act (NPRA), NRS 49.335 does not justify withholding public records in their entirety simply because some portion of the record identifies an individual. Under the generalized balancing test, to determine whether disclosure of public records is appropriate, the government entity bears the burden of proving that its nondisclosure interests clearly outweigh the public’s interest. Further, under the Clark County School District’s (CCSD’s) burden-shifting balancing test, speculative harm to nontrivial personal privacy interests is insufficient to shift the burden from the governmental entity to the plaintiff.

Ramos V. Franklin, 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 6 (Mar. 16, 2023), Alexander Provan

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

NRS 125C.050 provides that certain relatives and other persons may petition for visitation with a minor child.2 Under the statute, a court may only order visitation when the minor child’s parents “deny or unreasonably restrict visits with the child.”3 When the parents of the child have joint custody and one parent provides the petitioner with sufficient contact with the minor child so that visitation was not denied or unreasonably restricted, the petition for visitation fails regardless of the parent who provides contact.

N. Las Vegas Infra. Inv. V. N. Las Vegas, 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 5 (Mar. 16, 2023), Mark Mulhall

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Even when a section of a contract is unambiguous, the section’s meaning can be ambiguous when read with the entirety of the contract and its appendices. The ambiguity can then be resolved by reading the contract and its appendices together to ascertain the intent of the parties. Additionally, a district court’s decision to deny awarding attorney fees under NRCP 68(f)(1)(B) will not be disturbed if the record clearly shows the district court properly considered the Beattie factors. Lastly, taxable costs will be awarded under NRS 18.005 when those costs are truly necessarily incurred, unless otherwise enumerated.

Reggio V. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 4 (Mar. 9, 2023), Theodore Milk

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Where the first party of a consolidated case waives their right to a peremptory challenge under Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 48.1(5), the waiver applies to subsequent parties on the same side of the consolidation. While parties are still entitled to an additional peremptory challenge when their case is reassigned under SCR 48.1(9), this is only permitted when the first case is reassigned, not the second.

Doctoral Projects

Title

Nurse-led education heart failure education for symptom monitoring and management

Abstract

Problem Statement: Over six million adults in the United States have heart failure (CDC.gov,2020).

As the oldest major professional sports league in the country, the MLB’s record of salary arbitration has its roots in over 150 years of baseball history. The first Collective Bargaining Agreement or “CBA” was signed by the players union and owners in the early 1970s, creating a process for salary arbitration in which players not yet eligible for free agency would be compensated based upon their seasonal performances.
