Morphological Variation Of The Clavicular Rhomboid Fossa: Bilateral Asymmetry, Sexual Dimorphism, And Environmental Influences, Michaela Tucker, Skylar Hall
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Morphological variation on the clavicle, specifically the rhomboid fossa, may be impacted by age, sex, laterality, and mechanical stress. Occupational stress and loading conditions lead to bone remodeling and adaptation to change, altering the costoclavicular ligament site. A sample of 94 bilateral clavicles from individuals ages 16-40 years was analyzed using computer tomography (CT) and 3-dimensional reconstruction. Clavicles were categorized into five groups: flat, smooth, elevated, depressed, and pitted. Chi-squared analyses were used to test associations between morphology and age, side, and history of strenuous lifting. Significant differences were observed between class and sex for the leftsided clavicle group. Female …

A Child On Stand: The Impact Of Experiencing Trauma On Children’S Testimonial Efficacy In Legal Proceedings, Morgan Sweger
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Children who are victims of physical, sexual, emotional, or verbal abuse are nearly always left deeply traumatized by such events. In extreme cases, abused children may be asked to testify against their abuser(s) in legal proceedings, recounting their trauma in front of a room full of strangers. For some, the trauma of abuse may influence a child’s ability to effectively recall and describe their experiences and for others, the process of participating in legal proceedings creates deeper wounds. Research has aimed to understand whether children lack the ability to contribute sufficient testimonies during investigations of abuse and how these investigations …

A Systematic Review Of Socioeconomic Status On Infant-Directed Speech, Laura K. Flaker
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This project reviews the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on infant-directed speech (IDS) and examines potential interventions aimed at increasing the use of IDS. Existing research indicates that caregivers from higher-SES backgrounds tend to use more frequent and higher-quality IDS, including greater vocabulary diversity and more responsive interactions, compared to caregivers from lower-SES backgrounds. These differences are often influenced by factors such as parental stress, limited time, and access to resources. Understanding the differences in IDS is crucial to reducing disparities in language development. Findings from this review suggest that interventions such as increasing access to mental health services and …

Fact Vs. Fiction: Understanding The Influence Of Crime Procedural Television On College Student Choice Of Major, Mia J. Moore
Fact Vs. Fiction: Understanding The Influence Of Crime Procedural Television On College Student Choice Of Major, Mia J. Moore
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
As it continues to gain popularity, crime-based media (i.e., crime procedural television shows, true crime podcasts) contributes to the public’s perception of the criminal justice field. Little research exists on the “CSI Effect,” the phenomenon in which criminal justice majors are drawn to the field based on the glorified depictions of the profession portrayed in the media. Previous research on influences behind choice of major suggest a variety of other influential factors, such as personal interest in the subject, friends or family members, or personality characteristics (Beggs et al., 2008; Hoag et al., 2017; Porter & Umbach, 2006). The current …

The Quantifiable Effects Of Constitutional Interpretation, Carter Ridgway
The Quantifiable Effects Of Constitutional Interpretation, Carter Ridgway
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The Constitution of the United States is a document that has been for centuries the focus of academic inquiry and scrutiny from a range of differing methodological approaches. Among these factions vying for supremacy in the realm of constitutional interpretation have risen to predominant methodologies. On one side lies the originalist method which is formed around the core principle that the best way to protect the constitution and the rights granted therein is to interpret from the perspectives and values of those who constructed it. Alternatively, those who prefer the doctrine of living constitutionalism, sometimes referred to as constitutional realism, …

The Effects Of Temperature On The Persistence Of Environmental Dna In Self-Preserving Filters, Megan Boche
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
This study investigates the effectiveness of self-preserving filter packs (filters designed to passively dry and stabilize captured eDNA without liquid preservatives or cold-chain) in maintaining the integrity of environmental DNA (eDNA) under varying temperature and environmental conditions. eDNA degradation was assessed at three temperatures (23, 33, and 43 °C) using water collected from two distinct study sites that differ in species composition and salinity, a freshwater hatchery and a brackish lagoon. To capture early degradation dynamics, eDNA concentrations were quantified using quantitative PCR assays immediately after filtration (t = 0) and after 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 days …
Repairing Estranged Death: Care, Politics And Ecology In The Us Funeral Industry, Cecilia Catherine Rodriguez
Repairing Estranged Death: Care, Politics And Ecology In The Us Funeral Industry, Cecilia Catherine Rodriguez
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
The industrialization of death practices in the US has separated humanity from natural cycles while centering white settler colonial norms that marginalize other cultural ways of caring for the dead. Through necropolitics, the contemporary death industry embodies capitalist values of commodification and a monopolization of care, separating death from community and its ecological cycles. Black and Indigenous feminist knowledges understand death as not a discrete event but instead as an ongoing process that shapes our relationships with both the human and more-than-human worlds. Engaging with feminist political ecologies, I extend a conversation about care and repair to contemporary death practices …

Postfire Habitat Use And Density Of Pacific Martens (Martes Caurina) In Lassen National Forest, California, Deirdre L. Replinger
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
Increasing frequency, size, and severity of wildfires in western North America threatens forest-dependent wildlife species. The Pacific marten (Martes caurina) has historically been associated with mature, structurally complex forest throughout most of its range. Recently, martens have been detected in forests burned at high severity by the 2021 Dixie Fire—the largest recorded single fire in California state history. I used non-invasive remote camera traps and hair snares (n = 166 sites) to assess marten habitat use and density using spatial occupancy and spatial capture-recapture models. I detected martens across the burn severity gradient (unburned to high-severity) at …

Development Of The Core Lit Apparatus For Seaweed Hatcheries (Clash) Bioreactor Using A Germplasm Approach, Phillip O. Tahimic
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
In comparison to the Asian aquaculture industry, the United States has minimal seaweed production. There are several drivers of the limited industry in the US, such as regulatory constraints and limited market demand, but the ability to scale is a considerable barrier to commercialization. One possible solution is the development of land-based systems that integrate bioreactors, which utilize fewer resources and do not wholly rely on an oceanic flow-through system. This study assessed the application of a modular bioreactor, known as Core Lit Apparatus for Seaweed Hatcheries (CLASH), as a nursery system and open-source project designed to expand land-based seaweed …
