Building A Better Security Force Assistance Brigade, William Bittner Oct 2024

Building A Better Security Force Assistance Brigade, William Bittner

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper examines the effectiveness of United States Army Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) in training and advising partner militaries while preserving conventional force readiness. A shortage of volunteers, the manpower demands of embedded security, and lack of a Congressional funding authority have made SFABs and the conventional force less ready for operations. These challenges will be analyzed through the lens of institutional theory to identify systemic threats to the viability of SFABs. This paper posits that an advisor career field should be created in response to an institutional aversion to non-combat roles. Further, the Army should eliminate or shrink …

Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes About Gender, Education, And Mathematical Aptitude: A Quantitative Study, Paige Barnett Oct 2024

Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes About Gender, Education, And Mathematical Aptitude: A Quantitative Study, Paige Barnett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Females and mathematics are often not grouped together due to the gender bias surrounding the two. Perhaps attending an all-girls high school has instilled a higher level of confidence in my own mathematical abilities than many women exhibit. The focus of my research is to examine preservice elementary teachers for their confidence levels in mathematics, as well as whether they hold a form of unconscious gender bias. I completed this research by developing a six-question survey instrument. The survey was administered in the spring and fall of 2023 to Math 245 and Math 246 classes, both of which are required …


Targeted Advertising: How Companies And Governments Are Weaponizing User Data Against The Consumer, Joseph Garneau Oct 2024

Targeted Advertising: How Companies And Governments Are Weaponizing User Data Against The Consumer, Joseph Garneau

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

With the recent rise of a new digital age, many people are ditching more traditional methods of performing everyday tasks and replacing them with free and convenient online services. But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that sentiment holds true in terms of online services as well. Consumers pay for these online services with something much more valuable than money—their personal data. This paper explores how companies and governments present consumers with targeted advertisements, shows how targeted advertisements are inherently manipulative, and gives an example of one government and one company using …

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 Oct 2024

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. Santiago, Chile’s capital and one of the most urbanized cities in Latin America, serves as a unique product of competing urban design ideologies put forth by democratic and authoritarian governments throughout the 20th century; and the social and economic stratification created has continued to present challenges for solving urban planning issues in modern Santiago. Recent adjustments in traffic laws have begun a reduction in road fatalities, but they still do not account for the discrepancy between Chile and other states. …
