Ddpcr Reveals Sars-Cov-2 Variants In Florida Wastewater, Eben Gering, Jacob Colbert, Sarah Schmedes, George Duncan, Jose V. Lopez, Jessy Motes, James Weiss, Taj Azarian, Omer Tekin, Jason Blanton Apr 2021

Ddpcr Reveals Sars-Cov-2 Variants In Florida Wastewater, Eben Gering, Jacob Colbert, Sarah Schmedes, George Duncan, Jose V. Lopez, Jessy Motes, James Weiss, Taj Azarian, Omer Tekin, Jason Blanton

Biology Faculty Articles

Wastewater was screened for the presence of functionally significant mutations in SARS-CoV-2 associated with emerging variants of concern (VOC) by ddPCR, and results accorded with sequencing of clinical samples from the same region. We propose that PCR-based screening of wastewater can provide a powerful tool for rapid and inexpensive screening of large population segments for VOC-associated mutations and can hone complementary sampling and sequencing of direct (human) test material to track emerging VOC.


Remembering Postpartum Depression In Later Life: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Walker Ladd Phd Apr 2021

Remembering Postpartum Depression In Later Life: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Walker Ladd Phd

The Qualitative Report

Postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in as many as 1 in 7 women (Gavin et al., 2005). PPD remains underdiagnosed and largely untreated, contributing to high societal costs and increased maternal mortality. Despite the wealth of research reporting the adverse effects of PPD on childbearing women and their offspring, little is known about how women who have experienced PPD describe or interpret the meaning of the experience in later life. I conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 10 women self-identifying as having had PPD a minimum of 13 years in the past. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) I identified …

A New Observation Of Microatolls In The Galapagos Isalnds, Ecuador, Amber Orr Apr 2021

A New Observation Of Microatolls In The Galapagos Isalnds, Ecuador, Amber Orr

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Microatolls are shallow water coral colonies that develop their signature ring-like atoll shape from water depth limitations that prevent living tissue from growing any higher, encouraging outward growth instead. A secondary contributor to formation is the accumulation of sediment on the top of growing colonies, smothering upper surface polyps. Microatolls are described from numerous locations and form from several species in the Indo-West Pacific. However, microatolls occur at only three known regions in the tropical eastern Pacific and form from one species, Porites lobata. In the Galápagos Islands early researchers (1970s-1980s) observed microatolls at 2 sites, however they are …


A Statistical Comparison Of Democratic Liberties, Socioeconomic Development, And Effectiveness Of Covid-19 Pandemic Response In Countries Around The World, Angel Vasquez Apr 2021

A Statistical Comparison Of Democratic Liberties, Socioeconomic Development, And Effectiveness Of Covid-19 Pandemic Response In Countries Around The World, Angel Vasquez

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown in full display that state capacity to respond to crises is variable among countries. In this study, the relative performance of 165 countries in containing the pandemic within their borders is assessed and compared with their individual scores on the Freedom Index (FI) and the Human Development Index (HDI) to understand whether the indicators that these indices represent (political freedoms and socioeconomic development) explain the effectiveness of each country’s response to the pandemic. A pandemic performance coefficient (PPPC) was created to quantify their individual performance and treated as the independent variable. Bivariate correlation analyses and …

Advocating For Period Dignity: A Survey Of Menstruation's Impact On Class Attendance Among Women At Nova Southeastern University, Lauren Guedj, Tanha Rahman, Sofia Garcia Austt, Jessie Mandy

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Feminine hygiene products are essential in the life of every woman during their menstruation years. However, 86% of women in the US have experienced starting menstruation in public without having access to supplies. Lack of proper hygiene products on campus subjects an enormous burden on women, creating significant stress. In this study, a survey of NSU students and faculty indicated 90% of the respondents had been caught on campus with no access to feminine hygiene products. 24% of those individuals choose to leave campus during this menstrual period emergency causing them to miss class time and 58% of them choose …


Analysis Of The Effects Of Saha On Cancer Stem Cell Markers In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells, David Babos, Jay-Quan Dill Apr 2021

Analysis Of The Effects Of Saha On Cancer Stem Cell Markers In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells, David Babos, Jay-Quan Dill

Undergraduate Student Symposium

In the United States, lung cancer is the third most common form of cancer and shows the highest mortality rate. The most prevalent form is Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), accounting for 84% of cases. Similar to other solid tumors, several putative surface markers for lung cancer stem cells have been identified, including CD44 and CD133. Cancer stem cells (CSC), with their self-renewal ability and multilineage differentiation potential, are a critical subpopulation of tumor cells that can drive cancer initiation, growth, and resistance to therapy. Reports showed that Hedgehog (HH), Notch, JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways are regulating the transformation …

Assessment Of Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus Polyphemus) Activity And Faunal Diversity Associated With Tortoise Burrows Using Trail Cameras At Two South Florida Natural Areas, Katarina Lee, Adrianna Coican Apr 2021

Assessment Of Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus Polyphemus) Activity And Faunal Diversity Associated With Tortoise Burrows Using Trail Cameras At Two South Florida Natural Areas, Katarina Lee, Adrianna Coican

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is an ecologically important organism distributed throughout the southeastern United States. Gopher tortoises are a keystone species due to the burrows they create. These excavated habitats provide shelter for hundreds of commensal species that escape from wildfires and extreme heat during summer months. Six trail cameras (three at each site) were deployed at the entrance of gopher tortoise burrows in two natural areas (Fern Forest and Military Trail) in Broward County. Motion-activated cameras took pictures of animals at the burrow entrance over a 21-month period. Cameras were left in the field between 5-14 …


Assessment Of Student Mastery Of Anticipated Learning Outcomes During A Blendflex Stem Cure Using A Combination Of Self-Reported And Empirical Analysis, Niraj Pathak, Ambika Kapil Apr 2021

Assessment Of Student Mastery Of Anticipated Learning Outcomes During A Blendflex Stem Cure Using A Combination Of Self-Reported And Empirical Analysis, Niraj Pathak, Ambika Kapil

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 …
