In-Situ, High-Throughput Dna Sequencing And Methodology Refinement To Survey Biodiversity And Identify Candidate New Species To Science In A Largely Unprotected Biological Corridor In Ecuador, Christian Boudreaux

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

The world is undergoing a biodiversity crisis in which hundreds of species have gone extinct within the last few centuries, rivaling previous mass extinction events that have only occurred five times in the history of the planet. Anthropogenic stressors such as the climate crisis, over exploitation of natural resources, deforestation, and pollution have created and fostered a mass extinction event that is taking place in every corner of the planet. Endemic species, those that are hyper-specialized to specific environmental conditions are most at risk of going extinct. Endemism, therefore, is used as a tool for conservation and as an indicator …

The Case Of Santiago De Chile: Pedestrian Deaths, Neo-Liberal Urbanism, And Insufficient Traffic Policy Reform, Olivia Maurer

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Chile’s rate of road fatalities and pedestrian deaths has remained a global outlier, even as comparable states have reduced occurrences.

Link’S Sword Is Mightier Than The Pen: Composing And Performing In The Super Mario And Legend Of Zelda Series, William Nelson

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Player interaction has largely defined video games and their concomitant music. Since Pong (1972), players have exercised agency over both in-game events and, by extension, the sounds that accompany them. In this paper, I explore ways in which the “authorial agency” of the player is reflected musically in Nintendo’s Super Mario (1985–) and The Legend of Zelda (1986–) series. Through earcons and other interactive audio, players are able to influence the musical architecture of video games. I begin by considering the indeterminacy of video games as a medium and their consequently indeterminate musical elements. I then examine earcons and the …

Leading Difficult Discussions, Josh Eyler

Events

Particularly during a contentious presidential election semester, instructors often need to lead discussions on difficult topics. In some disciplines, these discussions are more common, as themes on race, culture, gender, and/or sexual orientation can sometimes create challenge or discomfort. However, when current events raise the temperature everywhere, even classes not specifically meant to address such topics may see challenging conversations unfold. In this workshop, we will share specific resources and suggestions on leading these potentially difficult discussions in inclusive, engaging ways that serve our instructional goals. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.
