Survival And Development Of Zebra Longwing, Heliconius Charithonia, On Native And Non-Native Passion Vines, Passiflora Sp., In South Florida, Madelyn Rinka, Cassidy Loucks, Celina Nelson-Jordan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Zebra longwing butterflies (Heliconius charithonia) are distributed throughout the southernmost regions of the United States to South America and are abundant across Florida. These heliconian butterflies not only consume nectar, but are also known to feed on pollen, resulting in a longer lifespan than most butterflies. In their larval stage, H. charithonia feed exclusively on Passiflora sp., however larval performance and survival across the diversity of Passion vine species is not well documented. We examined these criteria of zebra longwings from egg to adulthood on two passion vines native to Florida, corky stem (Passiflora suberosa) and …

Synthesis Of Metal-Binding Polymers For Water Purification Via Raft, Blanch Khouri Sader, Sneha Polam
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Water, one of the most precious resources on our planet, makes up roughly two thirds of the earth’s surface. Despite the abundance of water, access to clean water has become increasingly difficult. Decades of neglect for the environment have contributed to water pollution. Common pollutants include heavy metals, which are toxic and carcinogenic to humans and to aquatic life. Removal of heavy metal contaminants is a critical part of water purification. While several methods exist, the use of polymers to bind heavy metals offers many advantages over comparable methods, such as improved efficiency and elimination of harmful byproducts. The goal …
The Relationship Between Covid-19 Social Distancing And Feelings Of Anxiety And Depression In The United States, Rahul Gorijavolu
The Relationship Between Covid-19 Social Distancing And Feelings Of Anxiety And Depression In The United States, Rahul Gorijavolu
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 has included mandatory curfews, quarantine, and social distancing policies enacted by government officials across the United States. These changes can result in feelings of loneliness, fear, and isolation. Healthcare workers and individuals with a history of psychiatric illness are more likely to develop anxiety and PTSD during quarantine due to COVID-19 (Brooks, 2020). Research conducted during the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak of 2015 found that people forced to quarantine experienced increased anxiety and feelings of anger, which subsequently decreased four to six months after the period of isolation ended (Jeong, 2016). …

Understanding Metabolic Activity During The Inoculum Effect, Kavish Patel, Vijay Patel, David Singh, Abhishek Venkataramnan
Understanding Metabolic Activity During The Inoculum Effect, Kavish Patel, Vijay Patel, David Singh, Abhishek Venkataramnan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
With the post antibiotic era upon us, new techniques are required to treat bacterial infections. While the mechanisms of acquired resistance to antibiotics are well studied, mechanisms by which bacteria can resist antibiotics in the absence of acquired resistance are less studied. This is called phenotypic resistance. One form of phenotypic resistance is the inoculum effect (IE) where the initial density of a bacterial population determines the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic. Given recent findings showing that the metabolic rate of bacteria determines its susceptibility to antibiotics, we sought to understand how changes to metabolism and growth determined …
Utilitarian Perspective On Genetic Enhancement, Varun Kota
Utilitarian Perspective On Genetic Enhancement, Varun Kota
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The invention of CRISPR-CAS9 allows one to edit the genome easily. As a result, many are excited by the potential breakthroughs in medical applications. Others worry that the development of this technology will lead to genetic enhancement, the modification of a set of genes toward a non-therapeutic end goal. After reviewing the philosophical and ethical literature regarding genetic enhancement it became apparent that there was a lack of specificity. Often, the arguments portrayed genetic enhancement as a fantastical process. In reality, the effects of genetic enhancement are far tamer. The folly in these discussions lies in the notion that traits …

Coral Cover And Colony Count Of Porites Lobata At Devil's Crown, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Bailey Daniels
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The reef-building mounding coral (Porites lobata) forms structures throughout the Galápagos Islands that provide habitat for numerous benthic marine species. Galápagos corals are impacted by aperiodic El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events that raise ambient water temperature and can cause massmortalities. This study focuses on an aggregation of Porites lobata located in Devil’s Crown, Floreana Island using data collected from 1993-2019. Over the 26-year period, the aggregation was impacted by El Niño events in 1992-93 and 1997-98 both of which left most of the colonies bleached (loss of zooxanthellae) but without mortality. Colonies recovered over several years following each …
Improving Health Communication About Recognizing Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Down Syndrome, Mahima Dave
Improving Health Communication About Recognizing Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Down Syndrome, Mahima Dave
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Down syndrome (DS) is the most prevalent chromosomal disorder in which an extra copy of chromosome 21 disrupts the development of intellectual abilities. Every year, 6,000 babies in the United States are born with DS, which is approximately 1 in every 700 babies (Aagarwal et al., 2019). Their unique physical manifestations place them at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition in which repeated blockage of the upper airway causes difficulty breathing during sleep (Olson et al., 2011). Nearly 80% of children with DS are afflicted with OSA compared to only 2-5% of the general pediatric population (Chamseddin …

Characterizing The Mechanism Of Inhibition Displayed By Imidocarb Dipropionate On Yersinia Pestis, Sukriti Prashar
Undergraduate Student Symposium
With the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, there is a need for development of new antibiotics. Several antibiotic resistant, gram-negative bacteria employ a type III secretion system (T3SS) making it an attractive target for new drugs. The T3SS is a multi-protein complex organized in a needle-like structure used to inject host cells with effector proteins to cause infection. Imidocarb dipropionate is a known inhibitor of the T3SS of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the bubonic plague, however its mechanism of inhibition is unclear. The purpose of this research was to determine which protein of the T3SS of Y. pestis …

Forces Affecting Genital Morphology Of Eastern Mosquitofish In The Everglades, Dyane Oliva, Rose Leeger, Caila Guzman Nunez
Forces Affecting Genital Morphology Of Eastern Mosquitofish In The Everglades, Dyane Oliva, Rose Leeger, Caila Guzman Nunez
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Eastern Mosquitofish are abundant fish in the Everglades. Some of their populations make annual, long distance migrations into temporary wetlands that dry out every year. Past work indicates differences in migration ability among fish from wetlands of different hydroperiod. Eastern Mosquitofish internally fertilize with a modified fin that acts as a penis-like “gonopodium,” which has been shown in other mosquitofish species to respond to the presence or absence of predators via altered size and shape. Data collected in 2019 reveals variation in gonopodium size and shape for Eastern Mosquitofish in Everglades wetlands that dry annually when compared to those from …

Gotta Go Right Now: Assessing And Educating College Women About Utis, Nabiha Atiquzzaman
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect 50% of women in their lifetime (Hhs.gov). The prevalence of UTIs increases with age, except for a spike seen in women aged 18-39 (Medina, 2019). UTIs cause significant psychological distress, financial impact, and scientific implications (Richtel, 2019). Previous studies have found support of UTI education enhancement interventions changing participants behavioral intention; a positive association between UTI knowledge and prevention practices was demonstrated. However, there are no studies investigating impact of educational programs on health behavior of university students and their knowledge of UTIs. The purpose of this study is to assess knowledge of UTIs among …

Diet Analysis Of Offshore Istiophorid Billfishes In The Western Atlantic, Emily Salonia
Diet Analysis Of Offshore Istiophorid Billfishes In The Western Atlantic, Emily Salonia
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Istiophorid billfishes are apex predators found in epipelagic tropical and temperate waters worldwide. Managed internationally following population declines due to overfishing, these fishes continue to be targeted by recreational anglers and are caught as bycatch by offshore commercial fisheries targeting tunas, resulting in a slow population recovery. Despite their ecological importance, knowledge of Western Atlantic billfish diets is lacking; no information exists regarding roundscale spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii), for white marlin (Kajikia albida) information is extremely limited, and the last Western Atlantic sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) diet study was in 1977. To address this knowledge gap, Istiophorid diets …
Effect Of Hdac Inhibitor On Mesenchymal To Epithelial Transition (Met) In Non-Small Lung Cancer Cells (Nsclc), Sanjana Mody, Grace Waldron
Effect Of Hdac Inhibitor On Mesenchymal To Epithelial Transition (Met) In Non-Small Lung Cancer Cells (Nsclc), Sanjana Mody, Grace Waldron
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process. It is also involved in enhancing the tumor invasiveness and metastasis of the cancer cells. Therefore, the generation of tumor cells with stem cell properties plays a significant role in developing resistance to cancer treatment. The reversal of EMT to MET (mesenchymal to epithelial transition) is poorly understood at the present time. Increased mesenchymal marker levels have been associated with increased lung cancer risk. We hypothesized that suberoyl-anilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA, also known as Vorinostat) might promote MET through epigenetic modification such as acetylation and methylation. We analyzed both …

Evaluation Of Linguistic Demand In Multitasking Assessments, Aisha Gaziani
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Multi-tasking is a daily functional ability, and people who have language impairments along with cognitive impairments deserve to be appropriately assessed in a way that accommodates their linguistic impairment. Linguistic demand is how much the performance of any task is dependent on linguistic ability for successful completion of the task. This study was conducted to evaluate the linguistic demands of seven validated multitasking assessments and to discuss clinical implications and recommendations for clinical use. A linguistic analysis of the task instructions and materials was conducted. We analyzed the number of polysyllabic words, number of simple sentences, number of complex sentences, …
Great Plains Prehistoric Megadrought Findings As Potential Indicators For Impending Climate Change-Related Catastrophes, Melanie Vasquez, Madelyn Rinka, Emma Hoffstein, Drew Tozer, Elena Kampian
Great Plains Prehistoric Megadrought Findings As Potential Indicators For Impending Climate Change-Related Catastrophes, Melanie Vasquez, Madelyn Rinka, Emma Hoffstein, Drew Tozer, Elena Kampian
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Determining details of extreme climate events on the environment is necessary to predict the future effects of global climate change. Researchers studying the northern Great Plains dune systems have found evidence of prolonged prehistoric droughts (megadroughts) that occurred due to climate anomalies. However, the timing, severity, and regional extent of these megadroughts remain controversial. Our previous work supports the interpretation that the White River Badlands (WRB) and the Nebraska Sand Hills (NSH) dune systems reactivated three times in the past 10,000 years in response to global climate change. This study investigates the hypothesis that these dune systems are linked, that …

What Does It Mean To Be Never Married In Later Life? Application Of Phenomenology In An Aging Study, Arya Hamedanchi, Nasibeh Zanjari, Hamid Reza Khankeh, Yadollah Abolfathi Momtaz
The Qualitative Report
The growth of the aging population and the increase of age at marriage will result in a rise in the number of never-married people in the future, although there is not sufficient qualitative evidence on this emerging phenomenon. The present study aimed to explore the lived experience of never-married older adults. The lived experiences of 12 never-married older adults were collected using an in-depth interview. The hermeneutics method of Van Manen was used for identification, description, and interpretation of emergent themes. Reflection on the lived experiences of the participants uncovered six themes, including: feeling of independence, combating loneliness, moving up …
Over-Complexifying Social Reality: A Critical Exploration Of Systematicity And Rigidification In Ethnographic Practice And Writing, Anson Au
The Qualitative Report
Qualitative methodological development has produced canonical tendencies that over-complexify and fix a fluid and lived social world. Meanwhile, critical theory has produced critiques on methodology but without enough attention to the qualitative tradition. I bridge these gaps by using an Adornoian position to interrogate the concepts of systematicity, rigidification, complexification, and their problems in ethnographic research and qualitative methodology. I conduct an urban ethnography and autoethnography of the metropolitan blasé as a public attitude of indifference to articulate an alternative, quotidian approach to ethnography that better captures social embeddedness, meaning-creation, and how contexts should drive data collection, analysis, and method-selection.
Prisoners’ Perspectives On Limited Rehabilitative Program Opportunities, Kerry Edwards Phd
Prisoners’ Perspectives On Limited Rehabilitative Program Opportunities, Kerry Edwards Phd
The Qualitative Report
Approximately 1.5 million persons are incarcerated in American prisons (Carson, 2020), and the rate at which persons who have been incarcerated reoffend (recidivism) is high (Alper et al., 2018, p. 1). This has propelled the effort to help offenders change their trajectory. Rehabilitative programs are used to help prisoners gain skills and strengths necessary to succeed in the community after their release. Yet, these high recidivism rates persist. Why do some prisoners not benefit from these programs? Although many researchers have studied the efficacy of programs over the past six decades, less attention has been directed towards access to prison …

Chronic Administration Of Pharmacological Doses Of Angiotensin 1-7 And Iodoangiotensin 1-7 Has Minimal Effects On Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, And Cognitive Function Of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats, Filipe F. Stoyell-Conti, Alesa Chabbra, Joseph Puthentharayil, Katya Rigatto, Robert C. Speth
HPD Articles
Cardiovascular diseases are the principal cause of death worldwide, with hypertension being the most common cardiovascular disease risk factor. High blood pressure (BP) is also associated with an increased risk of poor cognitive performance and dementia including Alzheimer's disease. Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7), a product of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), exhibits central and peripheral actions to reduce BP. Recent data from our lab reveals that the addition of a non-radioactive iodine molecule to the tyrosine in position 4 of Ang 1-7 (iodoAng 1-7) makes it ~1000-fold more potent than Ang 1-7 in competing for the I-Ang 1-7 binding site (Stoyell-Conti …

Healthcare Altruism And Dysconscious Healthism In The Delivery Of Integrated Healthcare Services To Individuals Who Are Deaf, Hard Of Hearing, And Deafblind, Jaime A.B. Wilson, Michael John Gournaris
JADARA
Healthcare altruism and dysconscious healthism are terms proposed to recognize the barriers to healthcare access faced by not only individuals with hearing loss but also all minority populations. The implications of an integrated healthcare model to provide services to individuals who are d/Deaf, hard of hearing, or DeafBlind (D/HH/DB) are explored. Unique insights are then offered regarding existing barriers to healthcare access and the next steps.
