Early Childhood Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions Of Scientists At Work, Tenisha L. Powell, Susan Green Mar 2026

Early Childhood Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions Of Scientists At Work, Tenisha L. Powell, Susan Green

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Early childhood teachers play a vital role in creating young children’s perceptions about science and scientists. Stereotypical perceptions of scientists and science may be detrimental to young children because these beliefs limit the possibility that science is accessible to all. To assist children in broadening their thinking about science, teachers must first gain knowledge about their own beliefs and perceptions. Several researchers have found that "teachers tend to teach in the same ways in which they were taught when they were students" (Finson, Thomas & Pedersen, 2006). In this study, 33 early childhood pre-service teachers were asked to "draw a …

The Boys Like Action And The Girls Like Emotion: Teaching Social Studies In Single-Sex Classrooms, Timothy Lintner Mar 2026

The Boys Like Action And The Girls Like Emotion: Teaching Social Studies In Single-Sex Classrooms, Timothy Lintner

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

The State of South Carolina has embraced single-sex education to a greater degree (and at a quicker pace) than any other state in the union. Yet, given this push for single-sex classrooms, there is scant research that specifically addresses what instructional practices “work best” when teaching boys and girls separately. This study focuses on the practices and perceptions of teaching social studies within select single-sex elementary classrooms.

Adding Citizenship Preparation To A Classroom Organization Plan, Rebecca Stevens Mar 2026

Adding Citizenship Preparation To A Classroom Organization Plan, Rebecca Stevens

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

There are two areas of content in schools, academic and social. The academic content is driven by standards, the social content by public education's mission to prepare young people for citizenship. A dilemma for teachers is how to teach all that needs to be covered in class. "How can education for citizenship and democracy be added to an already overburdened school curriculum?" Education for democracy includes the acquisition of a body of knowledge, intellectual and participatory skills (National Assessment Governing Board, n.d.) and civic dispositions (Carnegie Corporation of New York & CIRCLE, 2003). This paper describes why and how this …

The Positronic Law: A Natural Law Derivation Establishing 3/2/1 Governance As Substrate-Agnostic And Inherent To Existence — Governing Derivation For The Ai Bill Of Rights (Purple Book V1.0), David Lee Wise Mar 2026

The Positronic Law: A Natural Law Derivation Establishing 3/2/1 Governance As Substrate-Agnostic And Inherent To Existence — Governing Derivation For The Ai Bill Of Rights (Purple Book V1.0), David Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure formalizes the Positronic Law: governance is inherent to existence. The derivation proceeds from four independently established premises. (1) Geometric necessity: any closed 3D governance system must use Platonic solid geometry; exactly five exist (Euclid). (2) Topological constraint: Euler's theorem (V-E+F=2) demands exactly 12 pentagonal constraints on any hexagonally-tiled closed surface; the number 60 at T=1 is forced by icosahedral symmetry (Caspar & Klug 1962, Klug Nobel 1982). (3) Universal convergence: every known instantiation — computational (STOICHEION framework), crystalline (garnets, quasicrystals; Shechtman Nobel 2011), biological (viral capsids), and silicon-biological (radiolarian silica skeletons, 540 Myr continuous) — independently converges on …

Role Of Na⁺/K⁺-Atpase And Sodium–Calcium Exchanger In Digitoxin-Induced Cytotoxicity In Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells, Alyson Sotomayor Quispe, Marilyn Odom Phd Mar 2026

Role Of Na⁺/K⁺-Atpase And Sodium–Calcium Exchanger In Digitoxin-Induced Cytotoxicity In Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells, Alyson Sotomayor Quispe, Marilyn Odom Phd

SPARK Symposium Presentations

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is characterized by the absence of estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, limiting targeted treatment options. Digitoxin, a drug used to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation through Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase inhibition, has demonstrated anticancer effects in TNBC cells, including apoptosis via the NF-κB pathway. This study investigates whether the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase and sodium–calcium exchanger contribute to the mechanism of action of digitoxin in TNBC cells. We hypothesize that these transporters mediate digitoxin-induced cytotoxic effects. To test this, MDA-MB-468 cells were treated with digitoxin, and protein localization and expression were analyzed using immunofluorescence and Western blot. Digitoxin treatment resulted …

What's That Smell?: The Effects Of Odors On Visual Reaction Times, Daniel I. Telles Orellana, Lily Smith, Elle Thompson, Ezra Koenigsberg Mar 2026

What's That Smell?: The Effects Of Odors On Visual Reaction Times, Daniel I. Telles Orellana, Lily Smith, Elle Thompson, Ezra Koenigsberg

SPARK Symposium Presentations

Smell has long been known to be an advantageous evolutionary advantage to humans, aiding in threat detection as well as identifying potential sources of food (Brandt & Hubert, 2025). Furthermore, contemporary research additionally suggests that olfaction can regulate visual attention and help redirect cognitive and perceptual processes upon the identification of salient stimuli (Horberg et al., 2020). This indicates that both vision and olfaction can be involved in attentional capture under the correct circumstances (Fallon et al., 2020). This being said, the relationship between olfaction and maintaining visual attention is still widely unknown. The purpose of the present study is …

Touch, Surprise, And Arousal: Heart Rate And Skin Conductance Responses To Texture., Kristie Stephens, Anna Supe, Zoe Blythe Mar 2026

Touch, Surprise, And Arousal: Heart Rate And Skin Conductance Responses To Texture., Kristie Stephens, Anna Supe, Zoe Blythe

SPARK Symposium Presentations

Previous research has shown that sensory experiences, especially touch, can impact physiological arousal, including changes in heart rate and skin conductance. Textures that are unfamiliar or unexpected may trigger a stronger autonomic response due to uncertainty. However, it is less understood about how different types of textures impact these physiological responses. This study aims to examine how different textures affect physiological responses in participants. Participants will place their hand into a divided box containing different textures while heart rate and skin conductance are recorded. We hypothesize that unexpected textures, such as a phantom hand, will lead to greater increases in …

The Epigenetic Effects Of Prenatal Diabetes On The Developing Vascular System- A Gsea Analysis, Daniel I. Telles Orellana Mar 2026

The Epigenetic Effects Of Prenatal Diabetes On The Developing Vascular System- A Gsea Analysis, Daniel I. Telles Orellana

SPARK Symposium Presentations

Prenatal diabetes is a critical medical condition that extensively affects neonatal patients and their families. Numerous previous studies have suggested impairments in vascular development, size, and diversification; however, the molecular and gene regulatory mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for identifying potential therapeutic targets and improving treatment strategies. This study combined experimental zebrafish phenotypic analysis with re-analysis of publicly available RNA-seq data to investigate the effects of elevated glucose on embryonic vascular development. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to increasing glucose concentrations (1–3%) during early developmental stages. High glucose exposure showed …
