Despite the increasing societal acceptance of homosexual individuals, the perception of homosexuality by heterosexual individuals is polluted by personal bias. My study observed the interaction between 422 heterosexuals and the homosexual community. First, my subjects self reported their beliefs on the determinant of sexual orientation (genetic or lifestyle). Next, they took the Activism Orientation (AO) and Sexual Prejudice (SP) Scales as a baseline measure of their relationship with members homosexual community. Subjects were randomly assigned to listen to an interview of two fictional homosexual individuals that spoke of life experience which either supported or contradicted the subjects’ self reported beliefs. Additionally, subjects were assigned to a high or low empathy condition toward the interviewee. After listening to the interview, subjects were given the choice to allocate $0 - $8,000 in support of a pro - LGBT charity. Subjects then retook the AO and SP scales to measure for significant changes in perception of homsexuals after the fictional scenario. Results indicated a significant decrease in the AO of subjects that viewed interviews that contradicted their beliefs. Additionally, subjects assigned to the low empathy condition donated significantly larger amounts. The present study has two main implications: Heterosexual individuals’ generalize their advocacy toward the LGBT community based on the actions of a singular homosexual. Furthermore, many activists naturally approach issues regarding social justice from a place of empathy, it is more sustainable to approach social justice movements from a logical perspective to allow for more meaningful and long term participation in a social justice movement.

It is a well-known fact that congenital heart disease (CHD) can cause life-long health complications, especially if it impairs other bodily functions early in life. One of these complications is the risk of developing a serious neurodevelopmental disorder known as autism spectrum disorder (AuSD). With some case studies identifying the linkage of CHD and AuSD, it has been successfully established that being diagnosed with CHD does increase a child’s chances of developing AuSD later in life. There is not a simple answer for why this occurs. However, there are several factors that can contribute to why CHD increases the risk of developing autism. Some possible explanations may include synthetic factors such as the alteration of blood flow in genetic pathways due to early cardiac surgery. These explanations can also include uncontrollable factors such as demographics, maternal conditions, and viral infections, all of which are just as likely as synthetic factors. This research, based on case studies conducted recently, further reinforces the conclusion that the diagnosis of certain lesions of CHD results in an elevated risk of developing AuSD.

Many lakes around the world have plankton communities that are structured by an ecological phenomenon known as size selective predation. Size selective predation is a form of predation that selects for prey of a specific desired size by the predator. Size selective predation can have an effect on both size distribution of the prey population as well as the composition of zooplankton taxa in a lake ecosystem. The overarching question being asked in this experiment is how the different zooplankton populations are affected under conditions where they are subjected to size selective predation. Within our study, we assessed the effects of size selective predation in two lakes in British Columbia, and reproduced the natural phenomenon in the lab using live zooplankton and their predators to simulate interactions in the natural world.

One of the primary reasons elephants are endangered is human-elephant conflict (HEC), the opposition that occurs between elephants and the humans living nearby. The violence that erupts in settings of HEC, such as crop fields, often results in both human and elephant deaths as both species struggle to coexist. Many methods are being researched to mitigate HEC, including playing audio playbacks that trigger flight responses in elephants near crop fields and reduce chance of contact and destruction. Habituation to these stimuli creates the demand for a greater number and more types of auditory deterrents, but it would be unethical and inefficient to immediately jump to tests with crop fields without first verifying these playbacks are at least somewhat effective. Thus, this paper aims to analyze currently used auditory deterrents to determine if any acoustic similarities exist between them, and create a generalization for what characteristics make up an effective auditory deterrent. The results will help optimize current playbacks and help create a threshold of characteristics to use before future testing, to reduce habituation and human-elephant conflict.

The rising global prevalence of obesity presents a diminished quality of life and life expectancy. Though a myriad of factors contributes to obesity, one of the leading factors is excessive adipose tissue accumulation increases the body’s production of the leptin satiety hormone resulting in leptin resistance. Leptin resistance results in increased vulnerability to obesity through improper regulation of insulin, a decline in metabolic functions, and decreased sex hormone levels. Leptin resistance is treated with natural treatments, leptin replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, and insulin-sensitizing drugs, although all are met with limited results. Since leptin vastly affects sex hormone levels, leptin resistance has an adverse effect on obese children and adolescents. In this review, we examine the causes of leptin resistance, treatments for leptin resistance, and the effect of leptin resistance on childhood development.

This paper reviews the literature concerning the mechanisms of music therapy that improve the quality of life for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Music therapy is a remedial practice involving music to help improve health. Certain professional therapists practice Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) as an allied health profession that provides evidence-based care to hospitalized patients, not just as a source of comfort, but also as a source of healing. This is especially the case for patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, and expressive aphasia. The current growing body of researchers is investigating the effects of music therapy on memory, speech, motor control, and behavior. However, various questions remain unanswered. In this review paper, we gathered primary literature to evaluate the use of music therapy and the mechanisms that lead to successful outcomes. Music therapy is important because it provides a way to enhance comfort for diseased patients, whether in a hospitalized state or an average daily scenario. In patients with neurodegenerative diseases, music increases plasticity in areas of the brain that may improve speech, memory, behavior, and more. As we better understand the mechanisms and optimize music therapy, it may provide more ease to patients and even treat and cure certain disorders in the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the greatest global health crisis of the 21st century, responsible for over six million deaths and half a billion cases in the past three years. Unfortunately, the world was unprepared for the pandemic and, as a result, struggled to respond to the outbreak with effective public health measures. In order to prepare for the next pandemic, this paper seeks to explore the effectiveness of many different public health policies. This paper examines whether implementing mask policies, social distancing, targeted lockdowns, efficient testing, and strict quarantining controls are the best tactics for combating the next virus outbreak. The burden caused by the next pandemic could be radically reduced if all of these policies are implemented strategically.

Race, as a social construct, plays a significantly large role in the scientific field of genetics. This review analyzes several studies to reach a more comprehensive understanding of race’s historical influence in genetics, the modern implications of this relationship, and the validity of race as a scientific category in genetics. While the scientific validity of race has largely been disproved, it continues to be used by scientists and geneticists, specifically in genetic disease research. Aside from the obstacles stemming from race’s lack of legitimacy in science, its social implications are also a liability for scientific advancements because of how race has historically marginalized people groups. Moreover, the monetization of recent discoveries in genetics, including at-home ancestry test kits and molecular photofitting in forensics, are a cause for concern due to their lack of scientific accuracy. The process of racial categorization of test subjects is not as accurate as companies advertise, and this lack of transparency can lead to false conclusions about personal identity based on misinformation of at-home ancestry test results which rely upon a limited data set. In addition, this possibility of error in the DNA testing process can lead to the criminalization of innocent suspects. Therefore, awareness about both the primary motives of these companies, as well as the social implications of interpreting genetic test results, is critical to understanding the broader effects of race in genetics in society.

This project measures the effects of C. metallidurians on agricultural plant growth in environments with heavy metal runoff. Heavy metals have been known to negatively impact the environment specifically in the form of runoff. Heavy metals usually accumulate plant roots and inhibit nutrient and water transportation within plants. lIn this project, heavy metals being tested include Zinc, which prevents nutrients from being transported to the leaves; Nickel, which inhibits transpiration and photosynthesis and impairs metabolism; and Copper, which can cause protein denaturation and corrupt soil viability. C. metallidurians are a type of bacteria known to have heavy metal resistant plasmids and plasmid determinants specifically directed towards a different heavy metal each, with the cnr being resistant to copper and nickel, chr being resistant to copper and zinc, and cop being resistant to specifically copper. C. metallidurans have previously been known to detoxify high concentrations of copper and gold. They more famously have been known to pump out gold nuggets from exposure to copper metals. Since the effects of other heavy metals on C. metallidurans are not as well studied, this project aims to study the effects of those other heavy metals such as Zinc, Nickel, and Copper and apply this interaction to a real-life scenario of agriculture to see if this bacteria may be able to minimize the damage of Heavy Metal Runoff pollution.

In this article, I discuss which Federal Reserve (Fed) policies implemented impacted Money Market Funds (MMFs) inflows or outflows the most. The timeframe is March 2020, with the exigence of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is necessary because it helps the Federal Reserve know which policies can support the short-term money market. The Short-term money market is vital for the economy because it provides short-term funding for banks which are the foundation of the US economy. Although MMFs are only a portion of the short-term money market, any change implemented in one sector will affect all others because they’re closely intact. I used qualitative content analysis to find which policies prompt the most inflows/outflows. Through my research, I concluded that Federal Reserve Facilities to provide funding to various areas of the economy are what investors deem most worthy of investment.
