Up In The Clouds: An Analysis Of Detachment, Katherine Mcinerney
Up In The Clouds: An Analysis Of Detachment, Katherine Mcinerney
Undergraduate Student Symposium
This presentation analyzes the texts of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Evelyn Waugh’s A Handful of Dust, and Gary Shteyngart’s Absurdistan to examine a common, satirized human flaw. Despite the varied social realms in which the works exist, prevalent in all three is the theme of human detachment, exemplified by characters whose thoughts and actions reveal an emotional disconnect from their respective realities. The reactions of various characters to crucial plot events exhibit this disconnect, with displays of indifference toward poverty, war, and in the extreme, death. This essay illustrates how, through satirical content, the authors highlight behavioral factors …

What Goes On Beneath The Green Skin And Purple Pants: Physiology Of The Bruce Banner Haplotype Under Stress, Jose Luis Martinez, Giovanni Landauro, Mustari Akhi
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Aggression can occur as a goal-oriented phenomenon where the aggressor is intent on harm, during which, the aggressor experiences low levels of physiological arousal (Tulogdi, et al., 2012). Reduced physiological arousal may be associated with violent behavior, independent of other psychological risk factors. Using this view, sensation-seeking behavior, along with reduced physiological arousal, are key markers of aggression. (Wilson & Scarpa, 2011). Based on prior studies and research in this area, we are testing the idea that acute stress results in blunted biochemical and self-report measures of stress in individuals with low physiological arousal compared to individuals with typical (or …

“Zombies: Round Two” is a short film. In keeping with NSU’s annual theme of “Life and Death,” and inspired by the popular video game “Call of Duty: Nazi Zombies,” our heroes must battle against zombies in a post-apocalyptic world using some conventional weapons and some weapons that are out of this world. Will our heroes survive? Probably not. The film is directed by Victor Mascitelli. Crew members and actors include: Kelsey Cortez, Eddie Arocho, Chris Foy, Frank Taylor, Saily Riguero, Jacob Hiler, Andrew Watson, Samantha Kountz, and Zak Rakszawski.
Applications Of Abstract Algebra To Puzzle Modeling, Sharvel Bousemaan
Applications Of Abstract Algebra To Puzzle Modeling, Sharvel Bousemaan
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Abstract Algebra is an area of mathematics which focuses on the properties of algebraic structures. One such structure, called a Group, has properties which are applicable to puzzle solving. We provide the fundamental properties of permutation groups and discuss certain theorems which enable one to model a variety of puzzles. In addition, we demonstrate how the computational algebra program, GAP can be utilized in order to work with the large permutation groups that describe very complex puzzles. Our goal is to use the mathematics underlying these puzzles in order to understand how they can be solved.
A New Order In A New World: The Titan Economic Model, Linea Cutter, Nathaniel Dolan, William Kotkin, Elizabeth Mortazavi
A New Order In A New World: The Titan Economic Model, Linea Cutter, Nathaniel Dolan, William Kotkin, Elizabeth Mortazavi
Undergraduate Student Symposium
“A New Order in a New World: The Titan Economic Model” is a brief news-styled film report depicting a radical, albeit fictional, accounting of only one possible future-history for economic development of humanity. Speculating on the future-history of global economic structures raises noteworthy concerns while simultaneously setting the stage for rather radical new ideals.
A small group of NSU Honors students set about this very task of speculation on future-history in Dr. Brodman’s fall 2012 Honors course History of Economic Development. The time-frame of the film is set in December of 2012 amidst total collapse of the globalized economic …
Parasites Of Invasive Snakeheads (Channa Sp.) In Fort Lauderdale Canals, Elisa D'Abbraccio
Parasites Of Invasive Snakeheads (Channa Sp.) In Fort Lauderdale Canals, Elisa D'Abbraccio
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Snakeheads (Channa sp.) are invasive fishes native to Asia and Africa that are now ubiquitous in South Florida waterways. Their invasion of Florida waters is of concern because they are aggressive, territorial, predatory, air breathing fishes; these features have allowed them to disperse widely and adapt to a range of temperatures and environmental conditions. Their spread threatens native fishes and aquatic ecosystems throughout South Florida. Invasive species often benefit from parasite release, having fewer parasites than conspecifics in their native range and / or fewer parasites than ecologically equivalent competitors in their introduced range. To assess the possible contribution …

Gene Evolution And Conservation In Marine Sponges, Bryce Parrish
Gene Evolution And Conservation In Marine Sponges, Bryce Parrish
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The phylum Porifera makes up the foundation of the tree of life for all eukaryotes. Conducting bioinformatics studies on sponge gene sequences will be important for discovering sponge phylogenetic markers within the Phylum. This could be important for finding and tracking genes that could potentially be used as evolutionary markers within Porifera. This study will utilize previously sequenced cDNA transcripts of two sponge species, Cinachyrella alloclada and Discodermia dissoluta. We searched for gene sequences that had interesting metabolic functions and, conserved motifs within these two species. Gene sequence identities were verified with BLAST searches. Next, I performed in silico …
Renewed Presence Of The Free-Living Coral Psammocora Stellata At Devil's Crown, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, Kayla Caldwell
Renewed Presence Of The Free-Living Coral Psammocora Stellata At Devil's Crown, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, Kayla Caldwell
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this study was to document the renewed presence of the free-living coral Psammocora stellata in the nearly submerged volcanic cone of Devil's Crown, Floreana Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, and to determine if there were changes in coral cover between two survey periods. This coral species was previously present at Devil's Crown until being extirpated in 1982-83 by impacts associated with the 1982-1983 El Niño-Southern Oscillation. It was observed there in 2007 and was surveyed in 2009 and again in 2011 using the random walk quadrat method. Colony density and live tissue cover was determined using CPCe software …
The Effect Of Secondary English Proficiency On The Reading Strategies Of International Students, Natasha Vega-Valbuena
The Effect Of Secondary English Proficiency On The Reading Strategies Of International Students, Natasha Vega-Valbuena
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Scholars have long established that all readers employ strategies to understand complex texts. The most effective readers read not just for content, but ask questions about why authors make the choices they do. These “rhetorical” readers ask not just “what?”, but why?”. Rhetorical reading strategies, as defined by Flower and Haas, are “active attempts at constructing a rhetorical context for a text as a way of making sense of it.” In other words, readers must not only interpret the words on the page based on their grasp of the English grammar and syntax, they must be able to imagine the …
The Potential Effects Of Various Concentrations Of Saccharin Compared To Sucralose, Stevia, Aspartame, Sugar, And A Typical Diet On Gene Expression In Yeast, Beric Berlioz
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Gene expression patterns present as a result of a typical yeast diet (YEPD), as well as table sugar (sucrose) and four sugar substitutes Splenda (sucralose-based), Truvia (stevia-based), Equal (aspartamebased), and Sweet N’ Low (saccharin-based) at varying concentrations (low, medium and high) were determined. The sugar and sugar substitutes were administered and examined at extremely high (340 tsp/100 pounds), typically high (34 tsp/100 pounds), and low (10 tsp/100 pounds) concentrations, according to recently published literature based on the diet of typical American teenagers. Experimental data in the 1970s demonstrated that saccharin had a link to bladder cancer in laboratory rats, making …

Health Risk Of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (Ets), Dewan S. Raja, Bahar Sultana
Health Risk Of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (Ets), Dewan S. Raja, Bahar Sultana
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Environmental tobacco smoke is a preventable cause of significant morbidity and mortality among non-smokers. Reducing exposure to tobacco smoke is an essential community and public health objective. This report documents the substantial evidence characterizing the health risks caused by exposure to passive smoking. Multiple major reviews of evidence have concluded that environmental tobacco smoke is a known human carcinogen and that exposure to passive smoke causes adverse effects like SIDS, congenital birth defects, lead poisoning, and lung cancer. Regrettably, reductions in exposure have been slower among small children than among adults, as growing workplace restriction protects the majority of adults …

Guidance On Performing Focused Ethnographies With An Emphasis On Healthcare Research, Gina M.A Higginbottom, Jennifer J. Pillay, Nana Y. Boadu
The Qualitative Report
Focused ethnographies can have meaningful and useful application in primary care, community, or hospital healthcare practice, and are often used to determine ways to improve care and care processes. They can be pragmatic and efficient ways to capture data on a specific topic of importance to individual clinicians or clinical specialties. While many examples of focused ethnographies are available in the literature, there is a limited availability of guidance documents for conducting this research. This paper defines focused ethnographies, locates them within the ethnographic genre, justifies their use in healthcare research, and outlines the methodological processes including those related to …
