Pharmaceutical chemicals are being produced, consumed, and excreted in human civilization at an increasing rate. These chemicals have the capacity to accumulate, especially in environments such as freshwater systems, but there have not been any major responses to this threat yet as the present concentrations of the chemicals is not viewed as dangerous. Previous research has shown that the developing concentrations of chemicals is an issue, supporting that these chemicals, though not present in large doses, have impacts on exposed organisms. However, prior research has not been conducted to examine the specific effects of chemicals at hormetic concentrations on freshwater organisms. “Hormetic concentration” defines the concentrations of chemicals at specific levels where the response to a low dose of chemical differs from the response to the high dose, and these were the ranges of concentration that were tested in this experiment. Zebrafish were acquired at zero days post fertilization, transferred to the medium containing the appropriate concentration of chemicals for the group that they would be a part of, and used as a model for aquatic organisms to show the resulting chemical, neural, and physical response to the chemical concentrations. The zebrafish were euthanized via bleaching and freezing prior to seven days post fertilization. The results of this experiment show that there is an ecological risk associated with the environmental accumulation of pharmaceutical chemical contaminants that is inherent to their use in human civilization, a result which makes it clear that this issue needs to be addressed.

Obesity affects approximately 13% of the adult population, resulting in excessive fat cell deposition and metabolic dysfunction. Collagen, a protein that supports skin regeneration, muscle building, and pain relief, is studied in Drosophila melanogaster under different diet conditions. This experiment aims to test whether overnutrition affects physiology and collagen due to any anatomical changes in Drosophila Melanogaster, more commonly known as fruit flies. The research conducted over several weeks utilizes two diets: an obesity-inducing diet containing excessive glucose and coconut oil and a traditional diet of blue food medium, yeast, and water. The study groups include a wild-type, collagen-mutated, and obesity-mutated group, with multiple assays measuring how the obesity-inducing diet affects each population and their collagen levels. The results reveal that the obese group experienced higher food consumption levels but had lower locomotive ability than the other test groups. Hydroxyproline, the building amino acid for collagen, and collagen levels were higher in the obesity mutant than in the wild-type and collagen mutated group. The study shows that anatomical changes in organisms are influenced by both diet and movement. The obesity group, on an obesity-inducing diet, experienced decreased movement related to increased food intake and decreased neural activity. The high-fat and high-sugar diet suppressed neuronal autophagy, created inaccurate hunger and satiety perceptions, and increased collagen deposition. Anatomical changes were observed in collagen-heavy tissue areas, whereas decreased neural activity and increased feeding rates were behavioral changes. The study emphasized the importance of a healthy diet and exercise in promoting overall health.

The purpose of this policy proposal is to address the food and water insecurity that the entire nation of Somalia is experiencing in order to secure the United States’ national interests in the region of The Horn of Africa. I urge Bob Menendez, the chairman of The United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, to consider my recommendations to tackle this systemic issue in the fragile state of Somalia because this foreign aid will save millions from severe malnutrition and dehydration, while weakening terrorist organizations in the region at the same time. My policy recommendation to tackle this issue are to increase foreign aid to Somalia in the way of developing water infrastructure countrywide.

Using behavioral economics, this paper aims to analyze how rape myth acceptance presents itself in the form of numerous heuristics and biases throughout various stages of the United States’ criminal justice process that a sexual assault case must progress through. Due to the availability heuristic, inaccurate representation of sexual assault in the media promotes rape myth acceptance (RMA) among the general public, including potential jurors and law enforcement officers. Resultantly, police officers’ decision-making processes while investigating sexual assault reports implicitly discriminate female victims as officers struggle with the downstream orientation phenomenon.. In the trial stage, jurors utilize the representativeness heuristic to process complex case information by comparing the rape victim to a mental prototype shaped by rape myths. This hinders the jurors’ human information processing capabilities. Solutions to rape myth acceptance in the United States’ criminal justice system will be described in order to battle the high attrition rate of sexual assault cases.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that is being used as a new treatment for many mental and physical medical conditions, including anxiety. Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that has been shown to have many roles, including stabilizing mood. Crayfish are invertebrate animals that have been used as a model system to study human diseases. Crayfish are well suited to study the effect of CBD on anxiety due to their documented endocannabinoid system and anxiety-like behavioral traits. In this study, the effects of CBD on anxiety-like behavior in crayfish were investigated using a Light-Dark maze as a behavioral analysis tool. At the doses used, CBD did not independently show any influence on either the Light-Dark preference or the total position moves made by crayfish. 5-HT showed quite variable results compared to the saline solution. 5-HT injection significantly decreased time spent in the dark for crayfish injected with 2µg/g of CBD and significantly decreased movement for crayfish injected with 4µg/g of CBD. The dichotomous behavior of the 5-HT injected crayfish requires more study to determine if underlying factors can explain the varying responses. The concentrations of CBD may also need to be increased to properly examine its role in reducing anxiety.

This research paper investigates the consequences of technological overstimulation on productivity. By establishing a structural basis of the conscious and subconscious effects of technology usage on the mind, through the effects of artificial stimuli on Dopamine release and the myelination of neural pathways, a proportionate relationship between varying degrees of overstimulation and a person's productive output can be determined: signified by fluctuations in the quantity or quality of one's work.

Gen Z are financially more sophisticated than any previous generation was at their age and are only at the beginning of their journey to financial independence. With increasing evidence of Gen Z investing in India, the current study aims to explore their investment preferences. A survey was conducted for age group 15-25 asking them about their source of monthly funds, proportions and reasons for saving, investment preferences including proportions, avenues, time frame, risk perceptions and behaviour of investing. The study finds that saving habits of Gen Z are significantly different across gender, age and annual family income and they are gradually moving towards financial independence by relying on their own earnings. Consequently, we found that Gen Z’s investments were largely influenced by higher saving proportions and investing experience of their family members. We also observe that Gen Z is investing long term in assets like Equity Shares, Mutual funds, Fixed Deposit and Gold/Silver, and intraday in risky assets like Crypto. Factors like rate of return, long term gains and historical performance were found to influence their investment decisions as more than 50% of the Gen Z were found likely to invest in Growth and SIP’s of mutual funds, Growth and Value equity stocks and in Banking and Information Technology sector. Lastly, we see that majority of Gen Z follows a herd behaviour, uses new age investing apps, fearing losses find it difficult to take the first step in investing but are optimistically ready to learn and improve their investing skills.

The basal ganglia consist of the striatum, substantia nigra, and other nuclei, forming various pathways of motor initiation. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dysfunction of the basal ganglia pathways. Consequently, PD affects the production of speech. An AI model can analyze audio samples from regular and PD patients. A simple deep learning model with various layers, ReLU activation, sigmoid activation, optimizer, loss function, and Early_Stopping can use extracted speech features to classify patients as regular or PD-afflicted with up to 97% accuracy. Overall, the advent of user-friendly artificial intelligence has led to exciting times, with new medical advancements emerging day after day; perhaps the ease of AI implementation will encourage others to solve everyday problems with just a computer and a dream.

In this essay, I investigate the role and underlying political connotations of personal space in Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin and A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf, both of which enunciate marginalized subjectivity in 20th century English-language literature. I concentrate on using literary analysis while comparing the issues of marginalization, private and public resistance, class, race, and gender. While one text focuses on gayness in Paris and one focuses on queer womanhood in America, both reveal the temporal fragility of their respective marginalized spaces and the subjects’ claim to liberation. To situate this analysis in the wider literary and anthropological conversation, I read them against Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality, Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics by Bell Hooks, and several other texts. My analysis argues that even seemingly quotidian actions are inscribed in a complex literary tradition that lies at the intersection of biopolitics, intersectional feminism, and queer heritage.
