History Of Clover Leaf Syndrome, Isabella Perez
History Of Clover Leaf Syndrome, Isabella Perez
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
The purpose of this paper is to summarize the history of clover leaf syndrome and describe the newest advancements made to treat it. Clover leaf syndrome is more formally referred to as Kleeblattschadel syndrome. Information was gathered from several scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, and was condensed down into the key takeaways. This syndrome impacts the formation of the skull due to premature fusion of its sutures, creating a tri-lobar skull that resembles a clover leaf. This premature fusion is referred to as a type of craniosynostosis and has been linked to causing several other health complications ranging in severity. This is …

Use Of Humans As Guinea Pigs For Birth Control Pill In Puerto Rico, Adam V. Sewnarine
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
This article is about the history of Puerto Rico and the creation of the oral contraceptive pill. A history of the events leading up to the testing of the pill in the United States colony of Puerto Rico. The article talks about the many human rights violations scientists have imposed on this entire group of people. Dr. Ashford, Dr. Rhoads, and Gregory Pincus are depicted throughout the paper, showing the chronological order of how the pill came to be.
The Choice Of Parenthood: Abortion And Protecting Autonomy, Nimmi M. Mathews
The Choice Of Parenthood: Abortion And Protecting Autonomy, Nimmi M. Mathews
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
This paper attempts to address the morality of abortion using a Kantian perspective on the significance of autonomy, a property that all rational beings subscribe to. I reject the oft argued notion that the ethicality of abortion is contingent on the ability to determine whether the fetus possesses the right to life. Instead, I claim that denying women the choice to obtain an abortion disrespects their autonomy, hence requiring them to take up motherhood against their will. I then discuss how Kant’s framework for morality is demonstrated heavily in the legal concept of ‘human rights', and yet this is not …
Personalized Medicine: The Use Of Biomarkers And Molecularly Targeted Therapies For Patient Care And Cancer Intervention, Wafa Asad, Emily Schmitt Lavin
Personalized Medicine: The Use Of Biomarkers And Molecularly Targeted Therapies For Patient Care And Cancer Intervention, Wafa Asad, Emily Schmitt Lavin
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
Personalized medicine and targeted therapy have been emerging fields of study for the remediation and inhibition of cancer. Personalized medicine in the treatment of cancer involves using genetic, immune, and proteomic profiling to provide therapeutic options as well as prognostic background for every patient and their tumor’s genetic mutations. Targeted therapies allow researchers and medical personnel alike to determine the appropriate treatment for a patient based on the molecular basis and mechanistic actions of a cancerous tumor. The overall significance of this study was to express how these treatments use biomarkers to pinpoint the location, and severity of the cancer, …
Arranged Marriages: An Inappropriate Fabrication, Karika Sethi, Michael D. Reiter
Arranged Marriages: An Inappropriate Fabrication, Karika Sethi, Michael D. Reiter
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
This paper explores what an inappropriate relationship is and the taxonomy scale used to evaluate different relationships, specifically, arranged marriages. Arranged marriage is a topic that is considered taboo depending on global location. It is more prevalent in Eastern nations such as India, China, Oriental countries, and the Middle East. However, Western influence plays a significant role on what is and is not acceptable, as societal norms differ from place to place. What is defined as normal by culture is what helps to define if a relationship is or is not viewed as inappropriate. This paper is designed to explore …

Polygamy: An Inappropriate Relationship, Leda Castrillo
Polygamy: An Inappropriate Relationship, Leda Castrillo
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
Polygamy is a general term that means multiple spouses (White & White, 2005). There are two types of polygamy: polygyny, which occurs when one man has many wives, and polyandry, which occurs when one woman has many husbands. Polygamy has been practiced in the United States as well as in other parts of the world for many centuries. When a family decides to add a new wife to the family, the decision is carefully considered and must be approved before the husband and new wife can get married (Altman & Ginat, 1996). The effect of polygamy on children has been …
The Namesake: A Struggle For Identity, Terry-Ann Dawes
The Namesake: A Struggle For Identity, Terry-Ann Dawes
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, is a story of culture, race, and inheritance and how these factors mold our attitudes and direct our lives in an ever-changing society. The novel follows the lives of Ashima and Asoke Ganguli, and how they left behind a life in India that they had grown to know and love to live the American dream and provide the best life for themselves and their children. Gogol, their only son, and the carrier of their family name, struggles incessantly to find his identity while attempting to mold to his family’s expectations and the expectations of American …
The Effects Of Classical Versus Electronic Music On Learning And Recall, Samantha Domingo
The Effects Of Classical Versus Electronic Music On Learning And Recall, Samantha Domingo
Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal
Research about the possible positive effects of classical music on learning and recall has been quite extensive in the past few years; this phenomenon is known as the Mozart effect. The present study attempted to evaluate the theory that listening to classical music enhances the learning and subsequent recall of new information. Twenty-four undergraduate students participated in this study. In a between-participants design, all participants were assigned to read a short passage while listening to one of four types of music: classical music at either high or low volume, or electronic music at either high or low volume. Subsequently, participants …
