032 - Observed Verbal Irony and Mothers’ Perceptions of Adolescent Sibling and Friend Relationships
Get PDFAs part of a longitudinal study of sibling and friend relationships, we examined adolescents’ use of verbal irony in their interactions and how it may be related to mothers’ perceptions of their relationships. While verbal irony is a common feature of adolescent communication, little observational research has been done on its use or on how mothers perceive it. We anticipated that mothers\u27 perceptions of adolescents’ relationships would be related to the adolescents’ use of verbal irony, perhaps more so for sibling relationships than for friendships, due to their somewhat limited access to their children’s interactions with friends

Silent Conversations: The Role of Internal Dialogue in Emotional Energy
Get PDFSociologist Randall Collins proposes that emotional energy is gained through “interaction rituals” in which two or more people have a shared focus. Drawing on Collins\u27 theory of interaction rituals, this research uses sociological introspection to investigate how reading in solitude and journaling the experience influences emotional energy. The research findings supplement Collins’ theory by demonstrating that emotional energy can be gained in solitude through one’s internal dialogue. Exploring how solitary activities may lead to emotional energy is important because it demonstrates new ways individuals may gain emotional energy by themselves. This research shows that internal dialogues may be an adequate alternative to face-to-face interactions, which opens the door to exploring other ways individuals can gain emotional energy
Recruiting Care Workers After the COVID-19 lockdown
Get PDFRecruitment practices have undergone significant changes post-COVID-19, with lingering effects still impacting the workforce. The pandemic led to increased turnover, a focus on work-life balance, and decreased productivity, particularly in the healthcare industry where long hours and stress were prevalent. Women, who make up the majority of workers in this industry, were disproportionately affected and many left the workforce. HR managers now face the challenge of adapting strategies to the new virtual recruitment landscape to try and bring back these care workers. We will present our research findings on new strategies for which are vital for HR professionals to effectively recruit and retain employees in the healthcare sector, especially women
Determinants of Financial Literacy at SUNY Geneseo
Get PDFThrough surveying the SUNY Geneseo student body, we plan to explore what determines the level of financial literacy among students at SUNY Geneseo. The survey contains questions that address students’ demographics, academic background, family support through college, personal finance experience, and a financial literacy quiz. The sample size is 403 respondents, which is 10% of the population at SUNY Geneseo. We have noticed many students struggling on campus with the basics of personal finance and want to address the growing concern of how this could affect their success through college and in the future. We are interested in how the students’ family or academic background is associated with their financial literacy. Based on this exploration we plan to make some policy and curriculum suggestions on how we can improve the overall understanding of personal finance at SUNY Geneseo. Based on this research we plan to design a curriculum that will be offered to all students through the Geneseo Opportunities for Leadership Development (GOLD) program and will address the largest educational gaps that were identified in the survey. This course will be evaluated by administering the same financial literacy quiz following completion of the course and will offer insight into whether or not there is a substan- tial change in the student’s personal finance knowledge
Fugitive Slaves and Freedom: A Reexamination of the Connection Between Fugitive Slaves and Abolition
Get PDFThis paper focuses on the connection between fugitive slaves and the abolition of chattel slavery in the United States. It analyzes the various ways in which fugitive slaves not only changed the tides of the American Civil War, but also how their actions and undying determination to become free contributed to the fight for abolition. The main sources of this piece are the firsthand accounts of fugitive slaves themselves, as well as other primary sources which demonstrate the impact these people had on both the war and abolition. It draws the conclusion that there is a direct link between fugitive slaves and abolition, while arguing that had it not been for these fugitive slaves, the abolition of slavery and further emancipation of African Americans would have played out far differently
Alcohol Use, Neuroinflammation, and a Ketogenic Diet in a Mouse Model of Alcohol Use
Get PDFA Ketogenic diet (KD) is a diet with high fat, moderate amounts of protein, and low carbohydrate. KD has been known for many therapeutic purposes. This project focuses on the study of how KD affects cognitive performance in mice administered alcohol. Three groups of mice were used in this study, two groups were injected with 20% alcohol (EtOH) and one group was no-alcohol controls. Before the alcohol administration period began, the KD mice were fed KD for 1 week. Then, mice assigned to EtOH groups were injected intraperitoneally for 10 days in a row, while no-alcohol controls were not injected with anything. It is expected that mice that were injected with alcohol will have lower cognitive performance in a test of working memory and higher GFAP expression in the hippocampus compared to no-alcohol controls, and KD will rescue cognitive performance and reduce GFAP

012 - Second-Generation Biofuel Production from Rice Husks: Quantification of Glucose Utilizing Dinitrosalicylic Acid Analysis
Get PDFFor decades, dependence on fossil fuels has led to excessive greenhouse gas emissions, significantly advancing global warming. Greenhouse gases trap heat within Earth’s atmosphere, ultimately preventing its escape into space and intensifying climate change. As concerns over climate change grow, the search for renewable energy alternatives has become increasingly more urgent. Biomass energy presents a promising and sustainable resolution. First-generation biofuels, derived from carb-rich crops (rice and potatoes), pose challenges due to their competition with food supplies, increasing prices globally. To address this issue, researchers have turned to second-generation biofuels, which utilize lignocellulosic materials-inedible structural parts of plants-as a renewable source of ethanol. Our study focuses on rice husks, one of the most abundant agricultural byproducts, to evaluate its potential as an efficient biofuel source. The biomass is pretreated with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride to drive glucose extraction. The resulting glucose concentration is then measured using dinitrosalicylic acid analysis and glucose refractometry. The quantified glucose levels serve as an indicator of potential ethanol yield through fermentation, offering a viable and sustainable energy alternative
