Undergraduate Student Symposium
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, institutions across the world have had to make modifications to existing curricula throughout the university. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are emerging as an effective way to offer research opportunities for students traditionally underrepresented in STEM. These types of courses face the unique task of adapting scientific conceptual and research process concepts to the distance learning format. Biochemistry Authentic Student Inquiry Lab (BASIL) is a freely available, modular CURE. This project showcases a two-pronged approach which combines student self-reported mastery and objective evaluation of lab report responses, both aligned with established Anticipated Learning Outcomes …
Association Between Nutritional Status And Hypertension In A Rural Communty In Dang District, Gujarat, India, Sneh Shah
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The relationship between overweight-obesity status and hypertension is well-known throughout the world, especially in low socioeconomic communities and developing countries. Both high blood pressure and obesity are preventable risk factors for noncommunicable disease, death, and disability. The prevalence of obesity-overweight status in India is increasing faster than the global average and diabetes in Southeast Asia has surged over the past few decades. There have been few systematic studies focusing on the public health development in rural communities of India like the Dang District. The objectives of this cross-sectional study are to examine the prevalence of hypertension and nutritional status among …
Ecological Analyses Of Socio-Economic Food Deserts In Broward County, Annie Goyanes
Ecological Analyses Of Socio-Economic Food Deserts In Broward County, Annie Goyanes
Undergraduate Student Symposium
“Food desert” refers to an area where citizens lack access to fresh, affordable, nutritious food. Food deserts are generally in low-income urban neighborhoods or rural towns and can be considered environmental or economic injustice. South Florida and Broward County have been documented as having a high food insecurity rate, indicative of households having difficulty putting food on the table. Given the high rate of food insecurity, it was hypothesized that a lack of access to food and the presence of socio-economic food deserts was at least partially responsible. Data was collected by visiting three supermarkets in each of the 13 …
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 …
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 …

Numerical Representation Of Amino Acid Sequences, Naziba Akther Nuha
Numerical Representation Of Amino Acid Sequences, Naziba Akther Nuha
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Amino acid substitution matrices attempt to quantify the rates at which the different amino acid residues in proteins are functionally substituted by other amino acid residues with similar biochemical properties. Currently, the most widely utilized substitution matrices comprise BLOSUM-62, PAM-120 and PAM250 among others. Percent recognized mutation (PAM) matrices list the probability of transition from one amino acid to another during evolution of homologous protein sequences and are therefore based on monitoring protein evolutionary origins. In comparison, the amino acid substitution matrices of the blocks (BLOSUM) are based on scoring substitutions observed over a number of cycles of evolution. Traditionally, …
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 …

Undergraduate Student Symposium
Humans effortlessly modify their behaviors to meet the ongoing demands of the environment. For instance, you are in the library reading a textbook and you receive an alert on your phone. You stop reading your textbook and shift your attention to your phone to read the alert. You then shift your attention back to the textbook and pick up where you left off. You don’t forget what you were doing or confuse the content of the alert with the content of the textbook. Similarly, people who speak more than one language switch between languages effortlessly and flawlessly to meet environmental …

Effect Of Saha And Uc2288 On Epithelial To Mesenchymal Transition In P53 Wild/Mutant Types Of Lung Cancer Cells, Tanha Rahman, Naziba Akther Nuha
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancers and encompasses over 30% of cancer-related deaths among men and women globally. Cancer progression is marked by the downregulation of epithelial markers and upregulation of mesenchymal markers, which causes solid tumors to become malignant and increase their invasiveness and metastatic properties. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is facilitated through complex molecular pathways that include epigenetic and posttranslational modifications. In this regard, DNA as well as Histone methyltransferases are suspected to be involved within the EMT process. In our study, we analyzed the markers of EMT in H460 and HCC827 lung cancer cells …

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, …

Minor Changes With Large Implications: Modeling Amino Acid Mutations In Sars-Cov Monoclonal Antibodies (80r And 362) Towards The Design Of More Universal Antibodies, Christo Manikkuttiyil, Carolina Alzamora, Carol Manikkuttiyil
Undergraduate Student Symposium
SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has led to over 100 million cases and over 2 million deaths worldwide. Two anti-SARS-CoV monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) 80R and 362 are known to bind to epitopes on the spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD), with 80R binding to SARS-CoV-1 and 362 binding to both SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. To investigate this further and hypothesize structures for a potentially more effective antibody, undergraduate students participated in the CREST (Connecting Researchers, Educators, and STudents) Program and studied the binding interactions between the antibodies and their respective spike proteins. At the binding interface between these antibodies and the …

“Mantequilla” is a short film about two construction workers stumbling across their strange coworker. One worker forgets his car keys, and so the men trail back to the construction site to find them. They stumble across this peculiar fellow who comes off as weird and maybe even a threat; however, as the saying goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.” This is a story about an outcast of outcasts, a young man who is looked at negatively and never given the time of day, who in reality is a man of heart and kindness. This film aims to destroy …
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). …

“Life Is Splendid Here In The U.S.”: Intercultural Learning In Contemporary Chinese Students’ Academic Adjustment, Karolina Achirri
“Life Is Splendid Here In The U.S.”: Intercultural Learning In Contemporary Chinese Students’ Academic Adjustment, Karolina Achirri
The Qualitative Report
The increasing numbers of Chinese learners studying at American universities and the high mobility across borders have recently challenged prevailing stereotypes of Asians in education. While studies of Chinese students are abundant, there has been scant research on how intercultural learning unfolds in these students’ adjustment to both academic and social settings. To address this research gap, I center my case study around six of my former students from China and examine their progress at different U.S. institutions. Data from their journals were coded and analyzed qualitatively. In tracing my participants’ first semester trajectory and their strategies to adapt to …
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.

Composing In The Age Of Social Media: Using Social Media Within An Assemblage And Circulation Framework, Monique Cole
All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations
Social media is changing the landscape of composing and information distribution. As Americans are engaging with more social media platforms, composition and rhetoric scholars should consider the importance of enhancing digital literacy skills when utilizing social media, especially with the spread of misinformation across social media platforms. The thesis argues for integrating social media into composition classrooms to help students become stronger critical composers and consumers of information. The project is informed by scholarship on social media in rhetoric and composition, assemblage, and circulation. By combining assemblage and circulation theories, I develop a Social Media Interaction Framework that views social …
Distinctions And Something Between: An Inspection Of Eviatar Zerubavel’S Concept Driven Sociology, Krzysztof T. Konecki
Distinctions And Something Between: An Inspection Of Eviatar Zerubavel’S Concept Driven Sociology, Krzysztof T. Konecki
The Qualitative Report
The paper presents short summaries and analyses of two books by Eviatar Zerubavel (2018a; 2020) that are demonstrations of his approach to cognitive sociology. The first book (2018a) shows examples of the analysis in Zerubavelian cognitive sociology, and the second one is a methodological and theoretical elaboration of his approach described in formal terms. We analyze the approach presented at the end of the paper, showing that the analysis of distinctions and perceptive categories is essential in Zerubavel analysis. Still, there is an unclear dimension (in between) included in the contexts of perception, lived experiences, and perception of …

Undergraduate Perception Of Peer Leadership In The Writing Center, Sabrina Louissaint
All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations
Writing center scholarship offers a plethora of research in the field of composition including different practices and skillsets offered to students. Hosten et al. (2016) describe writing centers to be an incubator for leadership skills, one that creates a blueprint for student leaders to succeed. Situated within the field of composition and rhetoric, this IRB-approved thesis acknowledges a gap in research on the role writing centers play in the development of undergraduate consultants’ leadership skills. Through interviewing various writing center directors as well as current and former undergraduate consultants from five universities, I examine peer leadership perception, while uncovering the …

Binding Partners Of 14-3-3 (Ywha) Protein Isoforms Among Mammalian Species, Tissues, And Developmental Stages, Taylor R. Covington, Santanu De
Biology Faculty Articles
The 14-3-3 (YWHA or Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase/Tryptophan 5-Monooxygenase Activation proteins) are a family of abundant, highly conserved, ubiquitous, acidic, and homologous proteins expressed in most eukaryotes ranging from plants to animals, including humans, important in regulating a multitude of cellular processes such as signal transduction, cell cycle, protein trafficking, metabolism, apoptosis, and development. Mammals have been noted contain seven isoforms of these proteins (beta, epsilon, eta, gamma, sigma, tau/theta, and zeta), encoded by separate genes. The 14-3-3 proteins are known to interact with over 200 binding partners in isoform-specific, tissue-specific, and developmental stage-specific ways. The present review article encapsulates previously published …

“I Don’T See It That Way Anymore”: A Qualitative Study Of Significant Changes Of Mind, Austin C. Archer
The Qualitative Report
The specific aim of the study is to explore the cognitive and emotional phenomena which accompany profound changes of perspective that people have. I would like to understand the change in a person’s thinking and in what way the person experiences these changes, whether it is a change in belief or a worldview. I would also like to understand whether external factors such as that facilitate these profound changes. Using a phenomenological approach, I interviewed eight adult participants in depth regarding changes to their worldview. I examined three phases of change, namely pre-change phase, the change phase, and the post-change …

Designed Generalization From Qualitative Research, Ian H. Falk, John Guenther
Designed Generalization From Qualitative Research, Ian H. Falk, John Guenther
The Qualitative Report
In our earlier work on generalizing from qualitative research (GQR) we identified our two-decade struggle to have qualitative research outcomes formally “listened to” by policy personnel and bureaucratic systems in general, with mixed success. The policy sector often seems reluctant to acknowledge that qualitative research findings can be generalized, so impacts tend to be informal or simply ignored. The “official” methodological literature on generalizing from qualitative research is epitomized by Lincoln and Guba’s (1985) still oft quoted, “The only generalization is: there is no generalization” (p. 110). We now understand there are many alternative possibilities for generalizing. In this paper …
