Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Cause To Treatment, Tavleen Aulakh
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Cause To Treatment, Tavleen Aulakh
Occam's Razor
Imagine two individuals, both suffering from severe liver damage. With excess fat molecules concentrated in the hepatic cells, their livers are inflamed and scarred. These deteriorating livers are also supplementing the development of chronic obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hyperlipidemia. While one of these individuals is a middle-aged male with a long history of alcohol addiction and abuse, the other is only thirteen years old and has never consumed alcohol. This adolescent is suffering from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

"What Is Love?" The Sounds Of Love From William S. Burroughs, Kathryn Cronin
"What Is Love?" The Sounds Of Love From William S. Burroughs, Kathryn Cronin
Occam's Razor
William Burroughs, his life and works, have a set beginning and end, but the biological and spiritual connections he draws between language, sound, and the human body appear to have undefined points of origin. Sound has always been. Language has always been. To exist outside of language and sound is to exist outside of time and space and thus outside the body. Burroughs’ theories on language, the word, and their connection to the body are woven through texts filled with structural and narrative convolutions. Nova Trilogy, especially The Ticket that Exploded, as well as the early novel …

Operationalizing Cultural Ecosystem Services For Political Decision-Making, Bessie Schwarz
Operationalizing Cultural Ecosystem Services For Political Decision-Making, Bessie Schwarz
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
As social scientists develop promising new ways to measure Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) for decision-making, the question becomes if and how political decision-makers integrate this information into natural resources policy and management. My talk will dissect participatory value mapping as a method for bringing CES into the legislative processes. Value mapping uses spatially explicit surveys to reveal the density and distribution of values (both monetary and non-monetary) that stakeholders attribute to their environment. In a study conducted in 2013, I explored the use of this method to inform Shoreline Master Programs on the Olympic Peninsula. I used Conceptual Content Cognitive …

Rethinking Our Waterways - Best Practices For Collaborative Approaches To Watershed Planning, Amy Greenwood
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Water is the lifeblood of communities. We depend on it, we value it, and with growing awareness of the potential impacts of population growth, climate change and other pressures within our water resources and watersheds, we must work together to effectively manage and steward our water resources into the future. To address the complexities inherent to watershed and water resource planning at the local scale, the Fraser Basin Council has developed a comprehensive watershed-planning guide to assist organizations and individuals to:• Understand the value of water and watershed planning• Navigate the diversity of current and emerging water issues• Understand the …

Community, Culture And Identity In An Age Of Globalization, Katie Wiggins
Occam's Razor
As we move further into the age of globalization, we are seeing changes not only at a global level but at individual and communal levels; changes that we cannot wholly identify but that we recognize in ourselves. We are adapting to a global world, one that is affecting our identity and culture and, as we attempt to hold on to this identity and still converse with a larger world, we ultimately are forced to reshape our identities. Some may wonder what this will mean for the future and to what extent it affects us as individuals and communities. To answer …

Preservation And Use Of Natural Resources In The Developing World: A Case Study Of The Can Gio Biosphere Reserve, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Emily Green
Occam's Razor
Developing nations often overlook the environmental effects of industrialization. However, these nations need healthy, sustainable resources in order to become prosperous and stable countries. Additionally, developed nations depend upon the natural resources of developing nations as raw materials. Loss of natural resources in developing nations therefore has effects at both national and global levels. A key challenge across the globe is balancing the human need for development with the necessity of the sustainable use and protection of natural resources. In the process of finding this balance, developing nations are revising both their national definition of conservation as well as the …
