The Impact Of Methodology On The Reproducibility And Rigor Of Dna Methylation Data, Detlev Boison, Susan A. Masino, Farah D. Lubin, Kai Guo, Theresa Lusardi, Richard Sanchez, David N. Ruskin, Joyce Ohm, Jonathan D. Geiger, Junguk Hur Dec 2022

The Impact Of Methodology On The Reproducibility And Rigor Of Dna Methylation Data, Detlev Boison, Susan A. Masino, Farah D. Lubin, Kai Guo, Theresa Lusardi, Richard Sanchez, David N. Ruskin, Joyce Ohm, Jonathan D. Geiger, Junguk Hur

Faculty Scholarship

Epigenetic modifications are crucial for normal development and implicated in disease pathogenesis. While epigenetics continues to be a burgeoning research area in neuroscience, unaddressed issues related to data reproducibility across laboratories remain. Separating meaningful experimental changes from background variability is a challenge in epigenomic studies. Here we show that seemingly minor experimental variations, even under normal baseline conditions, can have a significant impact on epigenome outcome measures and data interpretation. We examined genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of hippocampal tissues from wild-type rats housed in three independent laboratories using nearly identical conditions. Reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing and RNA-seq respectively …

Identifying Barriers To Justice For Formerly Incarcerated Women Of Color In Connecticut, Olivia Papp, Anna Grant-Bolton, Reese San Diego Oct 2022

Identifying Barriers To Justice For Formerly Incarcerated Women Of Color In Connecticut, Olivia Papp, Anna Grant-Bolton, Reese San Diego

Community Learning Research Fellows

Identifying specific challenges faced by women of color transitioning out of the prison system in Connecticut is critical to developing comprehensive support services following incarceration. However, there is little research on how race, gender, and past incarceration intersect to form unique barriers to justice for formerly incarcerated women of color. Disseminating a digital survey to formerly incarcerated women of color affiliated with the Connecticut nonprofit, Her Time, we collected primarily quantitative data to assess which social services were and were not received and identify the role of Her Time in supporting clients following incarceration. We found that transportation, housing, and …


Mapping Correlates Of Gun Violence In Hartford, Scott Alexander, Joshua Jacob Oct 2022

Mapping Correlates Of Gun Violence In Hartford, Scott Alexander, Joshua Jacob

Community Learning Research Fellows

Gun homicide in 2021 was at its highest level in 25 years, with 118 homicides in Connecticut. In order to find solutions with this public health crisis, we investigated where the shootings are happening in Hartford, particularly in relation to city and community services, vacant lots (place-based solutions), schools, parks and areas of blight. This project worked to gather, clean, analyze and map publicly available Police Crime Data (reported incidents of crime involving a firearm) and layer that with various neighborhood characteristics. Connecticut Against Gun Violence hopes to use the data and maps as a tool to help focus gun …


Government Policies And Their Relation To Eviction, Kash Jain Oct 2022

Government Policies And Their Relation To Eviction, Kash Jain

Community Learning Research Fellows

Understanding what government policies reduce evictions is critical to reducing socioeconomic inequality and ensuring that people can stay in their homes. In Hartford, a city with an unusually high eviction rate, finding policy solutions is crucial. This research compared eviction and housing-focused government policies (at the state and local level) in Hartford with Worcester, MA, a similar city with a much lower eviction rate. Although eviction reform must primarily be targeted at the state level, cities can take some actions. Specifically, Hartford should reform its zoning regulations and expand venues for community input, while the state of Connecticut should expand …


Holistic Resources For Undocumented Persons With Intersectional Identities, Tiana Sharpe Oct 2022

Holistic Resources For Undocumented Persons With Intersectional Identities, Tiana Sharpe

Community Learning Research Fellows

According to the American Immigration Council, about 15% of Connecticut residents were born in another country, and 16% of residents are native United States citizens but have at least one parent born in another country. Twenty-three percent of that population, or 120,000, are Undocumented Individuals in Connecticut. Although direct statistics concerning the scope of Undocumented Persons in Hartford are difficult to establish, the colorful image of Park Street and Trinity courses like Hispanic Hartford establish that this city is an important place-making resource for Immigrants, particularly Latine Immigrants. While Connecticut is more progressive than other states, without federal legislative support, …


Caregivers’ Perceptions Of The Imagination Library And Its Impact On Young Children, Emma Shorten Oct 2022

Caregivers’ Perceptions Of The Imagination Library And Its Impact On Young Children, Emma Shorten

Community Learning Research Fellows

Reading to children in their early developmental stages is absolutely crucial to learning how to identify words, finding new interests, exploring imagination, forging strong relationships, and far more. It is important for children all across the country/world to have access to books, but many households have limited or no books due to factors such as accessibility and/or financial constraints. Dolly Parton’s program, Imagination Library, is committed to creating a simple, free-of-charge way to mail books to millions of children across the world. Partnering with United Way, I was able to collect qualitative – and also quantitative – data about how …


Latine Perceptions Of Health & Healing In Hartford, Isabelle Sayas Oct 2022

Latine Perceptions Of Health & Healing In Hartford, Isabelle Sayas

Community Learning Research Fellows

The health of children is contingent upon the health of their caretakers, as well the adults’ ability to access preventative care and treatment for the entire family. This is a core belief of the HUSKY 4 Immigrants Coalition, which has spent the past three years fighting to expand healthcare access to Connecticut’s entire immigrant population, including those who are undocumented. Undocumented status often presents an immediate barrier to access, or a reason to not obtain treatment. This project explores the perceptions of health and healing among female Latine caretakers in mixed-citizenship households as they navigate the American healthcare system. There …


Graffiti History In Hartford: A Story Of Criminalization And Culture, Adyanna Odom Oct 2022

Graffiti History In Hartford: A Story Of Criminalization And Culture, Adyanna Odom

Community Learning Research Fellows

Perceptions of graffiti have changed in Hartford and the world within the last 50 years with the arrival of the Hip-Hop scene. Currently, there is little publicly available information on the development of the graffiti scene within Hartford, and that is what motivated me to add to the Hartford History Center’s Hip-Hop collection about graffiti. The current Hartford History Center Hip-Hop collection focuses on the peace train competitions from 1983-1984. The Hip-Hop collection largely exists online and can be accessed by going online to the CT Digital Archive and under collections selecting the Hartford Public. Through qualitative interviews with Dooney …

Connection Meets Disruption: The China-Europe Freight Train And The War In Ukraine, Xiangming Chen Oct 2022

Connection Meets Disruption: The China-Europe Freight Train And The War In Ukraine, Xiangming Chen

Faculty Scholarship

The China-Europe Freight Train (CEFT), which inaugurated its run from the megacity of Chongqing in southwestern China to Europe’s largest river port of Duisburg in western Germany in 2011, has roared through its first decade. With 82 routes currently connecting nearly 100 Chinese cities and around 200 cities across 24 European countries and more than a dozen Central, East, and Southeast Asian countries, the CEFT has formed a vast transcontinental freight network spanning both ends of Eurasia. As the CEFT runs into its second decade, it has already sent around 60,000 trains cumulatively between Europe, China, and parts of East …


Exact Statistical Distribution And Correlation Of Human Height And Weight: Analysis And Experimental Confirmation, Mark P. Silverman Oct 2022

Exact Statistical Distribution And Correlation Of Human Height And Weight: Analysis And Experimental Confirmation, Mark P. Silverman

Faculty Scholarship

The statistical relationship between human height and weight is of especial importance to clinical medicine, epidemiology, and the biology of human development. Yet, after more than a century of anthropometric measurements and analyses, there has been no consensus on this relationship. The purpose of this article is to provide a definitive statistical distribution function from which all desired statistics (probabilities, moments, and correlation functions) can be determined. The statistical analysis reported in this article provides strong evidence that height and weight in a diverse population of healthy adults constitute correlated bivariate lognormal random variables. This conclusion is supported by a …

Blight Remediation And Affordable Housing Finance: A Potential Future Model For Hartford Homeownership, Luke Tressy, Joseph Perkus, Justin Olson, Suliman Foster

Masters Theses

This report is designed to aid the Hartford Land Bank (HLB) in its efforts to remediate blight as well as lay the groundwork for a more frictionless path to homeownership for residents in the City of Hartford. Over the course of the semester, the team has conducted research and analysis on various models and state funding systems that could increase property ownership among city residents. In collaboration with the HLB and Cleveland Housing Network (CHN), the team has focused on existing rent-to-own (RTO) and lease-purchase models of homeownership with decades of high success rate.

“I Am The Democratic Party”: The Role Of Washington Experience In Democratic Presidents’ Success, Coleman P. Mcjessy Apr 2022

“I Am The Democratic Party”: The Role Of Washington Experience In Democratic Presidents’ Success, Coleman P. Mcjessy

Senior Theses and Projects

Upon his election to the presidency, Joseph R. Biden Jr. was the first Democratic President elected in a half century with extensive “Washington experience,” that is experience as a Senator, Congressman, or Cabinet Member. In doing so, he brought a different perspective to the White House, one that was familiar with the electoral, legislative, and organizational institutions that the leader of the Democratic party must manage. In addition, this experience has led Biden to be more trusting of the formal Democratic Party infrastructure and therefore more able to use it to support his goals. In comparison to former Presidents Clinton …


Muslim Immigration To Connecticut: An Analysis Of Muslim Communities' Role In Immigrant Incorporation, Hannah M. Lynch Apr 2022

Muslim Immigration To Connecticut: An Analysis Of Muslim Communities' Role In Immigrant Incorporation, Hannah M. Lynch

Senior Theses and Projects

This research investigates the relationship between Muslim religious identity and immigrant incorporation outcomes in the United States. There is much existing literature discussing the outcomes of different immigrant groups to the United States, but Muslim immigrants have been largely left out of the discussion. Through interviewing Muslim immigrant residents of Connecticut, I discovered a two-fold relationship between Muslim identity and immigrant outcomes. On one hand, Muslim immigrants were able to incorporate more successfully through their Muslim religious community, such as their mosque. On the other hand, Muslim immigrants faced more difficult incorporating because of negative attitudes towards Muslim immigrants from …


The Peronist Paradigm: The Impact Of Peronist Traditions On The Economic Recovery Of Argentina In The Wake Of Covid-19, Jay Park Apr 2022

The Peronist Paradigm: The Impact Of Peronist Traditions On The Economic Recovery Of Argentina In The Wake Of Covid-19, Jay Park

Senior Theses and Projects

First elected to the presidency in 1946, Juan Domingo Perón has remained one of the most seminal – yet controversial – figures in the history of Latin America. His rise to power brought about not just a new era in Argentine political history, but also resulted in the emergence of one of the longest lasting political movements in the world: Peronismo, or Peronism. Since its inception, it has been the salient driving force within the realm of Argentine politics for the better part of seven decades; indeed, since 1946, the Peronists have won 10 of the 13 presidential elections …


Navigating Trinity Culture: Students’ Pathways To Urban Citizenship In Hartford, Isabella Dresser Apr 2022

Navigating Trinity Culture: Students’ Pathways To Urban Citizenship In Hartford, Isabella Dresser

Senior Theses and Projects

Colleges claim to inculcate civic skills, in part through experiential learning programs in their surrounding communities. But how do these programs achieve their goals for different students and across differing settings? Trinity College—a four-year liberal arts college located in Hartford, Connecticut—is unique as a small, predominantly white institution situated in a predominantly Black and Brown city. In theory, the distinct nature of a privileged residential college in a marginalized urban space presents the opportunity to form a diverse community through mutually beneficial partnerships. Such outcomes are possible but are not so easily achieved. Instead, divisions exist between Trinity and Hartford.
