Is Death A Right Or A Risk?: Examining Ableist Biases In Maid Debate, Ava Polakoff

Research Days Posters 2025

Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) has gained recent attention as more policies are implemented allowing individuals to end their lives. For disabled individuals, this legislation raises concerns about ableist biases’ influence on decision-making. Some scholars view MAiD as a compassionate response to suffering, while critics argue it devalues disabled individuals’ lives and oversimplifies complex ethical dilemmas, perpetuating harmful attitudes. Although ableist biases in the MAiD debate have been examined, a gap remains in understanding how these biases impact perspectives of disabilities that influence legislation and medical decisions. By analyzing personal narratives such as "First Person: Living with Disabilities in the …

Intelligibility Of Hebrew Between Hasidim And Israelis In Upstate New York, Flora Brill Jan 2025

Intelligibility Of Hebrew Between Hasidim And Israelis In Upstate New York, Flora Brill

Research Days Posters 2025

This project investigates possible one-way or mutual intelligibility between spoken Israeli Hebrew and Hasidic Hebrew, testing intelligibility and biases through a matched-guise study. Volunteers from three groups— Israelis, Chabad Hasidim, non-Chabad Hasidim— listen to recordings in both types of Hebrew and their level of understanding and impressions of the speaker are recorded. There is a history of hostility between these groups in both countries, and some groups of American Hasidim are taught some Israeli Hebrew but most are not. Whether one group can understand the other would not only show how different the accents or dialects are but also how …

Incarcerated Youths In Canada And The United States: A Comparative Analysis, Grace Mastrangelo Jan 2025

Incarcerated Youths In Canada And The United States: A Comparative Analysis, Grace Mastrangelo

Research Days Posters 2025

Are children who commit adult crimes deserving of adult punishments? According to the United Nations, not if it harms their well-being. The U.N.’s primary treaty on children’s rights states that the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), all state actions, and government institutions involving children must prioritize children’s well-being, safety, health, and protection. Only one U.N. member state, out of 196, has not ratified the CRC: the United States. This is reflected in the U.S.’s juvenile justice system, which has been criticized since the 1980s for harsh sentencing and the incarceration of children in adult facilities. In contrast, …

The Impact Of Delay And Context Reinstatement On Metacognitive Judgments Of Eyewitnessing, Sarah Gillen, Kaylie Schwartz, Brittany Race Jan 2025

The Impact Of Delay And Context Reinstatement On Metacognitive Judgments Of Eyewitnessing, Sarah Gillen, Kaylie Schwartz, Brittany Race

Research Days Posters 2025

The impact of Post-Identification Context Reinstatement (PICR) and delay on eyewitness confidence was examined in a 2x2x2 experimental design. Participants viewed a video portraying a theft and were later asked to identify the suspect from a photographic lineup with conditions differing based on target presence (present vs absent), delay (immediate vs delayed confidence ratings), and PICR (context reinstatement vs control). The hypothesis is that the PICR increases confidence for correct choosers without affecting the confidence levels of incorrect choosers. Delayed participants also exhibit higher confidence compared to no-delay participants, and correct choosers in the PICR delayed condition show no difference …

Printing, Colvin Dole

Research Days Posters 2025

Most discussions of comic books focus on their value as works of literature or art. For a book like “Sinister Tales” #115, the stories within this anthology comic are not the most interesting part. That is because those stories were removed from their original contexts and repurposed. Instead of reproducing entire comics from American companies, Alan Class took individual stories from many different companies and repackaged them under his own titles. Class also used unconventional methods to print his comics, notably printing them with spines. The Binghamton copy of this book is accompanied by the printing plates used for the …

Politics In Printing: Protestantism, Catholicism, Capitalism, And Censorship, Fiona Mcmurray

Research Days Posters 2025

Imagine a world in which every piece of media ever written must be approved by the government before being publicly distributed. Despite sounding like part of a dystopian novel, this is instead a process known in Latin as “Imprimatur”- or in English, “let it be printed”. This process was first used by the Catholic Church in the mid-1500s but was later adopted by others. A set of books that were Imprimatured in England in the 1700s is a collection of Latin poems held by Binghamton University’s Special collection entitled Musarum Anglicanarum Analecta. The research process into these books studied the …

Class Actions And Environmental Justice: Are Lawsuits Driving Real Change?, Sadie Berg

Research Days Posters 2025

How effective are class action lawsuits in implementing environmental change? In answering this question through meta-analysis, a focus will be placed on cancer clusters as a general theme. Every year there are several different cases by which plaintiffs attempt to obtain compensation for troubles caused by hazardous chemicals such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), to name a few. The formation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the early 1970’s, along with the enforcement of protective litigation, were used to put an end to the use of these dangerous chemicals. All of the data collected …

Lessons From The History Of Automation: The Case Of The Luddites, Jia Kai Hu Jan 2025

Lessons From The History Of Automation: The Case Of The Luddites, Jia Kai Hu

Research Days Posters 2025

The consequences of technological innovation on work and employment are hotly debated in the US today. While many fear that new technology like AI automation will supplant human workers, others argue that innovation will create new jobs to compensate for this loss. However, unemployment is only one of the effects. Offering a historical parallel to this contemporary debate, this project turns to the British industrial revolution and the textile workers’ Luddite movement that responded to income and job losses with protests and machine-breaking. While on the surface level, the story of Luddites seems like one about technological unemployment, further analysis …

Nature's Defense Against Hurricanes, Kiara M. Alvarez Jan 2025

Nature's Defense Against Hurricanes, Kiara M. Alvarez

Research Days Posters 2025

Before urban industrialism led to the widespread drainage and destruction of wetlands, many early cultures recognized their value in sustaining ecological balance rather than viewing them as “wastelands.” Wetlands provide natural flood control, absorb storm surges, and support biodiversity. Florida, the state with the most wetlands in the contiguous United States, contains approximately 11 million acres, with the Everglades—the largest tropical wetland in North America—located in the central region of the state. These wetlands play a crucial role in mitigating the impact of hurricanes and tropical storms by absorbing excess water and reducing flooding. This project examines how the presence …

Research Days Posters 2025

This study focused on diversity within diet and its impact on productivity. Food variety ensures that the proper balance of nutrients is achieved. Different nutrients have various impacts on the body, influencing motivation and energy levels, the extent of which is currently unknown. A total of 304 participants completed an anonymous online survey administered through Google Forms. The survey inquired about demographics and the connection between diet, mental distress, and neurobehaviors. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.0. Consuming green leafy vegetables was negatively correlated with both feeling depressed (p< .01) and that everything is an effort (p< .01), which can lead to decreased productivity. Intake of fish was positively associated with setting and completing goals (p< .01). Results indicate that a diverse diet is positively associated with improved mental well-being, highlighting the role of dietary habits in enhancing daily performance and reducing stress.

Hong Kong And Xinjiang: Oppression Adapted, Christopher Gardner Jan 2025

Hong Kong And Xinjiang: Oppression Adapted, Christopher Gardner

Research Days Posters 2025

China's repression of human rights has been quite notable in recent years, with examples such as the widely publicized Hong Kong protests and the crackdown on Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. The repression of democratic freedoms is similar in many ways, but also has key differences, which demonstrate China's ability of adaptation to resistance. In Hong Kong, there was a greater legal approach to repression of democratic rights via the application of the National Security Law (NSL), which annulled the previous standing legal distinction of "one country two systems." Xinjiang, on the other hand, has had a much more brutal approach …

The Soundtrack Of Life: A Foray Into The Ontology Of Musical Works, Emilio Kershner Jan 2025

The Soundtrack Of Life: A Foray Into The Ontology Of Musical Works, Emilio Kershner

Research Days Posters 2025

Historically, classical music has been the domain of compositions and jazz the realm of performance, but the question “what kind of entity is the work in rock music?” has caused some doubt. Strong cases have been made for rock’s claim to recordings, songs, and live performances. This paper will show how disagreements over the ontology of rock give cause to question the very method of constructing higher-order ontologies because of two problems: that of category overlap and that of form/genre conflation. It will be argued that the category overlap problem challenges existing rock ontologies while the form/genre conflation problem gives …

Evaluating Risk Preferences In Gpt Models, Allen Domingo, Joyce Chen, William M. Hayes

Research Days Posters 2025

The increasing adoption of large language models is significantly impacting decision-making processes, shaping how individuals make informed choices. This study aimed to examine how Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) models make decisions under risk compared to the preferences typically observed in humans. This study ran OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and 4o models through 380 binary choice problems involving a sure option (guaranteed gain or loss) and a gamble with a certain probability of a larger gain or loss. GPT models consistently demonstrated greater risk-seeking behavior in choice problems involving losses, particularly in scenarios where the probability of risk was higher. Differences in model …

Workfare And Women: Work Requirements And Sexism From The New Poor Law To Clinton-Era Reform, Lauren Barrett Jan 2025

Workfare And Women: Work Requirements And Sexism From The New Poor Law To Clinton-Era Reform, Lauren Barrett

Research Days Posters 2025

Welfare has been distributed in the English-speaking world since the Elizabethan era, but the prospect of cash relief without work has often proved controversial. In response, so-called workfare, or welfare with work requirements, has repeatedly been implemented, yet often forces poor people to take on jobs with terrible working conditions and little opportunity for advancement. By comparing Britain’s switch from outdoor relief to workhouses in 1834 and the transition to conditional aid during the 1996 U.S. welfare reforms, this project examines the impact of work requirements on women. Drawing on parliamentary reports, government documents, newspaper articles, and discussions by historians …

A Mob Of Mothers?: Revisiting The Legacy Of The National Welfare Rights Organization, Makar Mozgovoy Jan 2025

A Mob Of Mothers?: Revisiting The Legacy Of The National Welfare Rights Organization, Makar Mozgovoy

Research Days Posters 2025

Formed in 1966, the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) built a coalition of women of color, poor whites, and social workers to fight for a guaranteed income. However, the impact of the NWRO has often been reduced to its role in preventing the passage of Richard Nixon’s Family Assistance Plan––a much more stifling plan for a negative income tax. Building on recent reevaluations by Premilla Nadasen and Wilson Sherwin, this project argues that the long-term impact of the NWRO is best understood by cross-referencing contemporary reactions from historians and journalists to advocacy campaigns of the time. Though the organization was …

From An Object To A Relic: How Names Can Enhance A Book, Adina Steiner

Research Days Posters 2025

The first few pages of an 1820s copy of The Taming of the Shrew are bursting with names: the writer (William Shakespeare) and the playbook’s rewriter, publisher, and editor, the artist and engraver, and the actor that this book belonged to. But what can really be seen from the names of a book? By tracing each of these names across a range of sources, from their other publications to nasty theater reviews, this project illuminates how people can turn a book from an object to a relic. It demonstrates how some of the people involved can add background to a …

The Impact Of Diet On Emotional Intelligence And Pathological Eating Behaviors: Exploring Gender Differences, Sydney Stein, Joseph Darrell, Lina Begdache Jan 2025

The Impact Of Diet On Emotional Intelligence And Pathological Eating Behaviors: Exploring Gender Differences, Sydney Stein, Joseph Darrell, Lina Begdache

Research Days Posters 2025

Diet influences emotional intelligence (EI), which can contribute to pathological eating behaviors (PEB). This research explored the relationships between diet, EI, and PEB, and considered potential gender differences. 1,386 participants completed an anonymous survey online. This survey contained demographic questions, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, and the Food Mood Questionnaire. Of this total, 966 identified as female, 376 identified as male, and 44 as other. Data was analyzed using Principal Component Analysis and Pearson Correlation Coefficient in SPSS Version 28.0. Fast-food consumption was negatively correlated with motivation and stress management (p<.01), while breakfast consumption had a positive correlation with these factors (p<.01). Additionally, males showed a positive correlation with motivation and dietary control/ restrictive eating. In contrast, females exhibited the opposite pattern (p<.01). Findings suggest diet affects EI similarly across genders, while EI’s link to PEB varies by gender.
