Effect Of Light Exposure During Pumping And Holder Pasteurization On Vitamin Concentrations In Human Milk, Hope Lima

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

Donor human milk is a necessary secondary feeding option when mother’s own milk is unavailable. To ensure safety for premature and medically fragile infants, milk banks pasteurize donated milk. During pumping, storage, and pasteurization, all milk is exposed to light. Currently, milk banks do not regulate light exposure. Riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamin A are vitamins that are highly light labile. In this study, we aim to determine if light exposure during pumping, storage, and pasteurization in a milk bank setting causes degradation of vitamins in human milk.

The Urban Peasant, Pia Bertucci

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

One of the most popular buzzwords in Contemporary Italian Food Writing is “cucina povera,” meaning “poor” or “peasant” cuisine. Hearkening back to a historical time of scarcity, the Italian cuisine that we celebrate is essentially an elegant simplicity: making the most out of a few, simple ingredients. This concept has valuable lessons for foodways and food systems throughout the world, ranging from issues such as food insecurity in urban communities to tackling food waste.

Ancient Dna Extraction And Analysis Of Bone Samples From Orton Quarry Ossuary, Paige N. Plattner

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The field of molecular anthropology, specifically the focus of ancient DNA analysis of human specimens, affords the opportunity to obtain background information and relationship of specimens and artifacts that may have been otherwise forgotten. The Orton Quarry (36ER243) site is an example of how genetic analysis can restore archeological context to otherwise disassociated remains. The Orton Quarry site is a Late Prehistoric mass grave of human remains along the coast of Lake Erie in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Death-Related Grief And Disenfranchised Identity: A Review Of Key Concepts And Findings, Kendyl A. Barney

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Throughout this review, I argue that grief is an aspect of identity given its continuous and reoccurring nature. The death of a significant person forces one to reconstruct their own narrative, resituate their relationship with the deceased individual, and develop a new sense of self post-loss. Further, I expand Doka’s (2002) theory of disenfranchised grief to argue that all grief is disenfranchised. I make this argument under the contention that the dominant narrative of grief always assumes the experience to be finite, linear, and a process of detachment. Given the reality that few people actually identify with this conceptualization of …

American Automation Tax Policy, Joshua Thornton

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Automation increases production and reduces labor costs, while disrupting industry and employment. Will automation have a substantial long-term negative effect on America’s tax system and human labor market? This paper argues that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 implicitly endorses hiring human labor over automation. First, a brief background of automation is detailed. Second, an analysis of basic tax policy concepts, such as neutrality, efficiency, equity, and simplicity are applied to a specific provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Finally, this paper concludes that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 can assist …
