DEVELOPMENT OF A COOKBOOK TO INCREASE CALCIUM INTAKE IN BLACK WOMEN
Get PDFBackground:
Black women face considerable challenges in maintaining adequate calcium intake due to limited access to nutrition education and calcium-rich foods. This issue is compounded by the global prevalence of lactose intolerance, affecting 75% of the population (Isoa & Sarkar, 2022). Given the significance of calcium for overall health, it is imperative to ascertain the optimal daily intake for adults and assess the shortfall in consumption compared to recommended guidelines. Additionally, it underscores the importance of investigating current calcium consumption levels among diverse populations to identify deficiencies and potential health implications. By addressing these gaps in knowledge, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders can develop targeted interventions and educational initiatives to promote adequate calcium intake among Black women and other populations at risk. Ultimately, enhancing access to nutrition education and calcium-rich foods can mitigate disparities in calcium intake and improve overall health outcomes.
Materials and Methods:
A survey instrument was employed to evaluate participants\u27 comprehension of calcium-related topics, encompassing demographic details regarding food accessibility, socioeconomic status, healthcare availability, primary channels for nutritional and wellness guidance, and inclination toward consuming calcium-rich foods. This questionnaire aimed to gauge the level of knowledge and support resources accessed by respondents.
Results
Six Black women participated in the survey, and all their responses were incorporated into the qualitative research aimed at developing recipes tailored to individuals identifying as Black or African American women. Summary statistics detailing demographic characteristics are depicted through charts and tables.
Conclusion
Given the income and health disparities within the Black community relative to their white counterparts, the pervasiveness of lactose intolerance emerges as a significant health concern among Black individuals. Despite facing economic disadvantages, including limited educational and networking avenues leading to fewer lucrative employment opportunities, this study reveals that lactose intolerance persists even among households earning 80,000 annually. In light of these challenges, it is imperative to provide accessible resources for nutritional support, such as a cookbook tailored specifically for Black women.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE\u27S ABILITY TO DETECT ONLINE PREDATORS
Get PDFOnline child predators pose a danger to children who use the Internet. Children fall victim to online predators at an alarming rate, based on the data from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. When making online profiles and joining websites, you only need a name, an email and a password without identity verification. Studies have shown that online predators use a variety of methods and tools to manipulate and exploit children, such as blackmail, coercion, flattery, and deception. These issues have created an opportunity for skilled online predators to have fewer obstacles when it comes to contacting and grooming children without parents or law enforcement knowledge. Based on early research, one could assume that companies could do more to protect children online and that stricter online communication monitoring is needed. The research for this project covers the behaviors of predators, types of internet crimes against children and artificial intelligence’s ability to detect online predators with the end goal of protecting children online. The results from the research found that artificial intelligence can detect online predators in chats and image sharing. However, more research can be done on image detection. This paper will benefit parents looking to protect their children online, law enforcement agencies and companies that have active children on their websites or applications
On Cheeger Constants of Knots
Get PDFIn this thesis, we will look at finding bounds for the Cheeger constant of links. We will do this by analyzing an infinite family of links call two-bridge fully augmented links. In order to find a bound on the Cheeger constant, we will look for the Cheeger constant of the link’s crushtacean. We will use that Cheeger constant to give us insight on a good cut for the link itself, and use that cut to obtain a bound. This method gives us a constructive way to find an upper bound on the Cheeger constant of a two-bridge fully augmented link. With this method, we will also make a conjecture on the upper bound of any link
THE AFTERMATH OF THE PANDEMIC’S EFFECT ON COLLEGE STUDENT DEPRESSION
Get PDFThe present study examines how stress from the aftermath of the pandemic has affected college student depression. Using qualitative methods, ten college students voluntarily participated in recorded interviews. During these interviews students shared how the return to normality affected their experiences with depression, and the experiences of other students on campus. The study examined coping mechanisms to their adaptations, student’s individual stories, the effects that were viewed on campus, and their experiences during this transition. Students also completed the PHQ-2 and brief questions from the perceived stress scale. During the completion of the PHQ-2, 60% of students reported to have felt down/depressed in the past two weeks at least once a week, 90% students reported to have felt tired or have little energy at least 3 times a week in the past two weeks, and 80% of students reported to have felt trouble concentrating at least once a week in the past two weeks. When answering questions from the perceived stress scale, all students reported to have felt nervous or stressed at least twice a month, and 80% of students reported to have felt no control over the important things in their life. 90% of students shared that they believed that the aftermath of the pandemic affected students’ depression in various ways (changes in communication, environment, and routine). The students provided insight into the aftermath of the pandemics effect on students and how these effects have changed students’ experiences
