Considering The Shrinking Physical, Social, And Psychological Spaces Of Rohingya Refugees In Southeast Asia, Kendra L. Duran, Robin Al-Haddad, Saleh Ahmed

Global Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

Refugees experience shrinking social, economic, political, and physical spaces at astonishing rates. However, these shrinking spaces are challenging to trace simultaneously and are rarely considered in policymaking or analysis. Using the Rohingya case study, this paper implores policy analysis to include these spaces, conceptually categorizing them into physical, social, and psychological spaces. Here we chronologize the plight of Rohingya refugees and identify how their spaces have changed over time. Our findings reveal four primary causal relationships linked to Rohingya refugees' fluctuating spaces, including: (I) Bangladesh's policy framework has kept the Rohingya largely isolated, yet their public-private partnerships have expanded their …

Understanding Binational Water Scarcity, San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, Avery Aquino, Darbi Berry

San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative

Water scarcity has become a growing concern in many regions around the world, including the San Diego, CA and Tijuana, MX border region Water is a valuable resource that sustains all life on earth, and the San Diego/Tijuana border region is no exception. With increasing population growth, urbanization, and changing climate patterns on both sides of the border, the demand for water resources has significantly outstripped its availability in this region. As a result, it has become essential tounderstand the extent and impacts of water scarcity, and to develop innovative and sustainable solutions that can mitigate its effects.

No. 58: Wild Foods, The Nutrition Transition And Urban Food Security In Northern Namibia, Ndeyapo Nickanor, Lawrence Kazembe, Jonathan Crush

Hungry Cities Partnership

Rapid urbanization and food system transformation in Africa have been accompanied by growing food insecurity, reduced dietary diversity and an epidemic of non-communicable disease. While the contribution of wild and indigenous foods (WIF) to the quality of rural household diets has been of longstanding attention, research on their consumption and role amongst urban households is much more recent. This paper focuses on the consumption of WIF in three towns in northern Namibia with close ties to the surrounding rural agricultural areas. Based on data from a household survey of food sourcing and consumption patterns in 2018, the paper shows that …

The Mystery Of The Missing Megafauna, Maggie Colangelo, Bernard Means

Virtual Curation Lab's Comic Publications

The creative team behind Founding Monsters and Founding Monsters Tales have created a new comic that takes a more scientific and less historic approach to the giant mammals that once roamed North America. The Mystery of the Missing Megafauna explores how changing climate impacted biodiversity and megafauna populations in North America at the end of the last Ice Age. Particular attention is placed on the extinction of mastodons, mammoths, giant ground sloths and other megafauna whose fossils are found at Saltville in southwestern Virginia. This comic draws a connection to contemporary climate change and the major extinctions happening today. The …

Enhanced Learning In Biochemistry Using The Protein Data Bank And 3d Molecular Modeling In Chimerax, Frank Cappuccio, Jenny Cappuccio, Christopher Arias, Ezekiel Buchert, Johana Cruz-Lopez, Cesar Fernandez, Elizabeth Kowalski, Elizabeth Tesla Nicholas, Gabrielle Onnenga, Kellie Pierson

IdeaFest 2023

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository of atomic level resolution biological structures determined by researchers around the world. Protein macromolecular structures have become an essential tool for biotechnology fields. They are used to understand the chemical and biological processes in living systems and disease, and for precise drug design. Here students utilized the molecular modeling software UCSF ChimeraX to visualize 3D PDB protein structures of their choice. Students produced Quad Chart presentations and printed 3D models to allow for deep learning in protein structure.

Liberation Through Likhá, Melanie Eng, Jules Holland

Miller Center Fellowship

Likha is a social enterprise based in the Philippines whose mission is to empower Filipino artisan families to overcome poverty by reimagining time-honored local craft for the global market. Our research endeavored to both quantify the environmental impact of Likha’s products and production processes, as well as determine Likha’s readiness for certifications such as B Corp that signal their social and environmental performance. To accomplish this, we conducted semi-structured, in-person interviews with artisans concerning their raw materials and production processes. We found that while many of Likha’s raw materials were inherently sustainable, it was a lack of formal certification and …

My Encounters With Paradise: The Evolution Of Natural Beauty And Luminist Aesthetics In Central Florida, Jeremy Laplanche

Honors Program Theses

Historically, the marshes and swamps of Central Florida have been depicted as a paradise in artwork by naturalists such as William Bartram and Luminist landscape painters like Martin Johnson Heade. Today, the image of Florida’s tourism centers around theme parks and beaches. However, state parks in Central Florida preserve and restore unique ecosystems. This thesis analyzes the effectiveness of Wekiwa Springs State Park and Blue Spring State Park’s management practices for maintaining the Luminist and naturalist aesthetics. Previous research has identified the role of landscape paintings, particularly from the Hudson River School and the American West, in establishing America’s appreciation …

Trash Island: Opportunities Of Conservation, Recreation And Education Of Spoil Islands In South West Florida, Olivia Murillo

Theses & ETDs

The phrase ‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’ is one of the earliest introductions to environmentalism many of us are familiar with. Along with this phrase, we are made aware of large amounts of pollution such as plastics on land and our oceans. But the phrase is usually not extended to spaces. Have you ever considered reusing, reducing, or recycling a space? This phrase has been the approach to mitigating relatively new manmade spaces that can be found on many coasts: spoil mounds, a form of human byproduct that is often overlooked. Here in South West Florida, one of our waste spaces …

How Life Trajectories Are Shaped By Choices: Diving Into The Decision-Making Process Among Young Mexican-American Adults Recounting Their High School Experiences, Vianey Jaramillo

Estimating The Above Ground Biomass And Carbon In New College Of Florida’S Food Forest, Garcia Frank

Theses & ETDs

The New College Food Forest and Carbon Farm, as it was originally coined, was a thesis project planned and installed by Jay McWilliams and Orion Morton in 2016. The intention of the food forest was not only to create a space for fruit and food production, but also to replace the existing lawn area and sequester as much carbon as possible. By estimating the amount of biomass stored and carbon that the FF has been able to sequester since its establishment, the ability of this urban food forest system to combat climate change can be quantified. The litter in the …
