The Jewish Museum Of Florida-Fiu: Archives On The Edge, Todd Bothel, Jacqueline Goldstein, Luna Goldberg

Musical Interventions In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Review Of Literature, Gabriel Marinuchi

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides specialized care for ill or premature newborn infants. However, due to the nature of the hospital environment and the presence of intrusive stimuli, the NICU inherently creates the possibility of harmful over-stimulation for patients which can be detrimental to development. Therefore, music has been used in the NICU with the intention of alleviating these stressors and providing a sense of normalization. In the last 20 years, there has been an expansion in research concerning musical interventions in the NICU regarding its behavioral and physiological effects and how it may influence environmental conditions and …

The Cross Of Snow, Ethan Rey Gonzalez Soledad

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

"The Cross of Snow” is an original choral composition based on a poem of the same name by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow was an internationally renowned American poet in his lifetime. The poem was written eighteen years after the death of his wife whose dress accidentally caught on fire. He unsuccessfully attempted to extinguish the flames with his own body. The first part of the poem describes his sleepless nights where the image of a dead loved one’s face stares at him from a wall. Longfellow’s mention of martyrdom and its inability to lead fire to its “repose” references his …

Parental Absence In Modern Narratives, Mario Avalos

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

The protagonists of most fictional stories are characters whose origins often involve traumatic events that either lead to them wanting to do good in the world or wondering what their purpose really is. In many cases, this event is often something closely related to the central character’s parents. This “parental absence” can and generally does become a defining trait of the protagonist as they progress through life and, more evidently, through the immediate narrative. Considering the prevalence of this trope in television, film, literature, and other popular media, it is important to identify the recurring conflicts characters undergoing “parental absence” …

Based on research of the “Children Are Citizens” initiative from Project Zero at Harvard University, the Trash to Treasure project will engage and capacitate our preschoolers and lower elementary students to be agents of change in our local community. This interdisciplinary project will bring attention to an important environmental issue within our community. Plastic pollution will be transformed into an interactive exhibit and lead our students from bystanders to advocates. Community-wide beach clean-ups will provide students with the trash to create an original multi-media piece that incorporates movement to engage and communicate our message. The installation of the piece in …

El Arte, Un Camino Hacia Y Desde El Interior, Susana Garcia Mangas

ICOT 18 - International Conference on Thinking - Cultivating Mindsets for Global Citizens

Desde hace varios años trabajo con distintos colectivos (enseñanza primaria, secundaria, bachillerato, universitarios y profesionales de la educación) distintas prácticas en las que conecto las Artes (especialmente la música y el arte abstracto) con el cultivo de la interioridad y desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional; aunque no exclusivamente , porque la abstracción permite un acercamiento a los contenidos curriculares desde distintas ópticas, ofreciendo la oportunidad de profundizar en los distintos contenidos, respetando los distintos estilos de aprendizaje. Se desarrolla el pensamiento porque permite un espacio de reflexión e interiorización muy interesante donde se elaboran las ideas y los conceptos de …

Like most people the author of the proposal did not notice these "works of art" until the end of the year 2016, and has probably stepped on and walked over several pieces of art before …

The New Press Index: Varying Effects Of Press Freedom And It’S Relation To Citizen Journalism, Danielle M. Lyn

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

A free press exists to disseminate information essential to sustaining an informed public that defends and advances a free world. Today, 77% of the world lives with suppressed sources of information as global press freedom hit the lowest point in over a decade in 2015. While formal chains of journalism fight the decline in press freedom, the turn of the century has brought about unprecedented technological advancements resulting in the rise of citizen journalism. Media scholars have focused on identifying distinctions between the two, but I posit that emphasis must also be put on identifying and analyzing the connections and …

Counter Stereotyping Present In Grey’S Anatomy, Ashley Harwood

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

Stereotypes have always been present in society, but the rise in popularity of pop culture over the past decades has consequently affected the development of certain stereotypes. Prior studies have demonstrated how racial, ethical, and gender stereotypes are upheld in society and in the entertainment industry. The medical TV series Grey’s Anatomy, being a widely known and watched show, will be observed to see how the producers and writers of the show have depicted the characters, setting, and storylines in a way that challenges the preconceived notions of society. Characterization of the protagonists, such as the clothes they wear, their …

Truth, Justice, And The American Way: A Case Study Of Comic Books Through The Lens Of Society, Veronica Rodriguez

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

From the early 20th century classics such as Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to today’s blockbuster franchises capitalizing on big name superheroes like the Avengers or Batman, comic books, and more specifically, their superheroes have undoubtedly reflected the way American society functions at home and on the global scale. In consideration of this, it is important to determine why the scholarly field of Comic Studies and in turn comic books have long been trivialized as an inferior and often childish field and art form. This study will look at two superheroes: Superman and Captain America, to see how they have …

Existentialism & Borderline Personality Disorder In \’The Tunnel\’, Joaquin Van Thienen

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

How can the author’s knowledge and experiences influence his interpretation of culture and medicine in literary works? The purpose of this study is to interpret the condition of Juan Pablo Castel, Ernesto Sábato’s character from the short novel "The Tunnel", one of the most relevant pieces of literature in Argentina and Latin America after World War II. I believe that this character shows symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, and there's a strong correlation between this diagnosis and the author's philosophical beliefs. This study contributes to multiple disciplines because it is interdisciplinary on different levels: the first intersection lies between the …

The Notoriety Of The Borgia Name, Crystal Abreu

Undergraduate Research at FIU (URFIU) Conference

The Italian Renaissance brought about a rebirth of Greek and Roman culture from the 14th to 16th Century in Europe in which Art and Science flourished with inspiration and patronage became a major philanthropy. One family, the Borgia family, reigned over Italy during the 15th Century, leaving an imprint in Italian history. Rodrigo Borgia, better known as Pope Alexander VI, was the father and the great cause for the infamous Borgia family reputation. Pope Alexander VI, as Pope, was already regarded as a divine representative of God on Earth. However, it is my contention that he contrived to push this …
