Author(s): Perez, Jessica | Abstract: Abstract This literature review examines various research articles to survey knowledge and identify existing problems in the study of a Gluten Free Casein Free diet on Autism Spectrum Disorder. It provides a survey of knowledge and a problem identification regarding the methodology of the articles. This manuscript identifies five diverse methods: Placed on Diet, Observations, Questionnaires, Medical Tests, and Psychometric Tests. The conclusion of this review addresses the problems with this field of study. Furthermore, it addresses the limitations of the small sample sizes, and potential problems with the methods used.

Author(s): Garcia Barrera, Karla | Abstract: The brain is a powerful organ that can be damaged with irreversible consequences. Neglect alongside coexisting factors, such as childhood abuse, can affect the overall development of the brain. The severity and longevity of such adverse childhood effects can impair the cognitive, social, and behavioral progresses. This literature review discusses the effects of neglect and coexisting factors, and the negative effects on overall cognition (intellectual, social and behavioral). Results expressed that neglect effects children’s ability to strive in the future. Children who were neglected demonstrated low IQ levels, significantly low levels of social skills, and troubling behavioral skills.

摘要:本文主要研究第一代美国人与移民的成长关系，以及他们的文化纽带如何影响他们的政治哲学或意识形态。我将探索不同的因素，比如个人的思想与父母的不同。这项研究主要针对加州大学默塞德分校的学生，以及身体和经济独立的人。在这项研究中，年龄、性别、政党、政治哲学、原籍国或父母的原籍国等因素都被考虑在内。虽然重点是拉丁裔或西班牙裔学生，但其他背景，如亚洲族裔也被考虑在内。亚洲种族背景的学生在这项研究中是相关的，因为他们同样经历了同化西方文化的时期。本文还将我的发现与Uhlaner a Garcia(2016)关于拉丁裔党派偏好的文章、Sapiro(2004)关于社会化如何影响政治认同的研究以及Kinefuchi(2010)关于同化如何影响政治和社会依恋的研究的结论进行了比较。本文着眼于父母的影响，或缺乏影响，如何导致他们的孩子的政治观点的发展，同时提醒社会文化和社会经济因素。本文将考虑社会化和政治哲学的知识如何影响2020年美国总统大选期间的政治运动等时事。

Author(s): Yang, Ya | Abstract: The Hmong are an ethnic group from Southeast Asia who has lived as forced political refugees for the past several hundred years. In the 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruited the Hmong to assist them with the Vietnam War. After the United States withdrew from the war, the Hmong were left behind and became the target to the Laotian and Vietnamese communists. This led to them experiencing traumatic events as they walked from Laos to Thailand to escape ethnic cleansing. From the refugee camps in Thailand to arriving in the United States, the Hmong have encountered various mental-health related issues. The purpose of this literature is to explore the mental-health seeking behaviors among the Hmong population and identify the common mental-health issues they encountered. Using a systematic review, a total of 27 articles were picked from PubMed and Hmong Studies Journal to be examined. This literature review found that the Hmong people have a low rate of seeking Western treatments because their community has always consulted a Hmong shaman, herbs or family members when they experience an illness. Findings also revealed common mental problems: depression, anxiety, adjustments issues, and other health concerns related to the work environment in a new country.

Author(s): Sanchez, Lindsey | Abstract: According to a report by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, it is estimated that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men will experience sexual violence during college. Applying these numbers to the total undergraduate student population throughout the University of California system will equal more than 20,000 undergraduate UC students who will potentially be victims of sexual assault. This research paper aims to examine the current state of sexual assault at the University of California campuses and the standard policies throughout each campus. Specifically, there is an emphasis on the nine different colleges within the University of California system, comparing their approach to the issue of sexual harassment and ultimately recommending the best alternatives.

Author(s): Leon, Jacqueline | Abstract: Bringing about the discussion of the importance of proposing and researching cancer treatments that not only focus on treating cancer but also equally focus on the patient’s health during and after treatment is a topic within cancer research that is minimally discussed. This literature review uses childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL), which is a type of cancer that produces immature lymphocytes and doxorubicin, a treatment option for those with ALL that is known to cause cardiotoxicity years after treatment to encourage holistic approaches and longitudinal research on cancer treatments that focus on the patient’s well-being during and after treatment is received.

Author(s): Gonzales Oropeza, Ashley Nicole | Abstract: This research paper analyzes the budgets of police departments who have the highest and lowest numberof criminal charges. It questions if whether or not police department budgets affect the number of police brutality cases and accountability. With the information presented, law enforcement is conflicted knowing their policies and approaches needto be changedto hold the police accountable. Some law enforcement officials may argue they are simply enforcing what they were trained to do. Evidence is presented in this paper on gun ownership, criminal charges, demographicsin police departments, the victim’srace, the name of police officers involved in multiple police shootings resulting in the death of a civilian, and the amount of police shootings in known cities. In order for there to be less police brutality and more accountability in law enforcement, training needs to be focused on de-escalation methods, civilian payouts must use money from the budget of the police department responsible, and independent investigations have to be overseeing the officers' police brutality cases.

Author(s): Downs, Sarah | Abstract: The goal of this project is to analyze data from NCAA Division One Men's basketball teams during the regular season to predict how they will perform during the National Championships, colloquially known as March Madness. I use a data set that ranks teams according to their Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings[1]. These ratings give in depth basketball statistics for each year from 2002 until present and use several different measures to help quantify how good or bad a team is. My analysis will take three parts: single linear analysis, multiple linear analysis, and polynomial regression. I start by attempting to do a single linear analysis on the data from the year 2016, first using Adjusted Offensive Efficiency as the predictor and then using Adjusted Defensive Efficiency as the predictor. Next, I attempt a multiple linear analysis and find that by using both the Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and Adjusted Defensive Efficiency, the predictions greatly improve, but still are not perfect. Finally, I attempt polynomial regression using Adjusted Offensive Efficiency as the predictor. After running each of these methods, I found that none of these can predict the perfect bracket, however the multiple linear regression is able to perform surprisingly well, making the correct final ranking predictions approximately 62.33% of the time.[1] https://kenpom.com/
