Racial Disparities and Its Impact on Areas of Adolescent Development
No full textThis paper focuses on the influence racism has on adolescents and their development. It highlights areas of development that are affected by racism, such as health and wellness, academic performance, and identity and perception
Does Sleep Duration Affect Mental Health
No full textSleep is a critical component of overall health, yet inadequate sleep has become increasingly common, particularly among young adults and college students. This paper explores the relationship between sleep duration and mental health, with specific attention to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability. Not enough sleep can heavily impact an individual\u27s mental health. This paper explores the negative effects of inadequate sleep on psychological well-being, focusing on the correlation between reduced sleep duration and increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability. Topics like the importance of sleep, the cycle of sleep and stress, and how it all affects your mental health will be further explored. These findings emphasize the importance of promoting healthy sleep habits as a preventative measure to support mental health and overall well-being
The Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style: Its\u27 Detrimental Effects on Romantic Relationships
No full textThis essay explores how the dismissive avoidant attachment style—rooted in emotional neglect during childhood—negatively impacts romantic relationships. It explains how initial excitement often fades as emotional intimacy becomes threatening, leading to poor communication, unproductive arguments, and eventual relationship breakdown. Ultimately, the paper concludes that without professional intervention, this attachment style can prevent the formation of healthy, lasting romantic bonds
How Does Childhood Trauma Increase the Risk of Developing Depression in Adulthood?
No full textChildhood trauma is a common but often overlooked experience that can leave lasting effects on psychological and biological development. Research shows that exposure to abuse or neglect in early life can alter the brain structure, stress-response systems, and emotional regulation, which can increase vulnerability to depression and anxiety in adulthood. Furthermore, evidence suggests that the impact of trauma may reach across generations through behavioral mechanisms. Despite these risks, resilience and protective factors, such as early intervention, can minimize long-term consequences and help promote recovery. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies to reduce the lasting effects of childhood trauma
Support Vector Machine Optimization for Predicting Bio Polymer Gel Effectiveness in Fracture-Dominated High-Temperature Reservoirs
No full textThis paper presents a data-driven framework for evaluating the effectiveness of bio-polymer gel treatments in fracture-dominated, high-temperature geothermal reservoirs. Laboratory core-flooding experiments were conducted on samples from the Deadwood Formation under reservoir-representative conditions, including temperatures up to 160 °C and salinity levels up to 17% TDS. Key physical, thermal, and flow-related parameters—such as porosity, permeability, fracture width, heat retention, and gel extrusion pressure—were integrated into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification model to predict treatment success, defined by a residual resistance factor (RRF) threshold of 1000. To extend the applicability of the model beyond available core material, geologically informed synthetic samples were generated using a temperature–RRF log-linear relationship. The final SVM model achieved an accuracy of 84.6% and an AUC of 0.89, demonstrating strong predictive capability des pite a limited dataset. The proposed approach provides a computationally efficient and physically interpretable screening tool for early-stage assessment of polymer gel treatments in geothermal systems, without reliance on full-scale reservoir simulation

Wanjila Agli (Brings One)
No full textThis art panel is part of the series 1800 Lakota Winyan (Lakota word for women) by Lorri Ann Two Bulls. Two Bulls said of this series, Each panel carries the name of a woman recorded in an 1800\u27s ledger as they arrived at the reservation. The paintings are my way of identifying the name of those women, winyan, who live on today and are still remembered.

No full textTelemedicine vs. Clinic Monitoring: Adherence in Hypertension Management
No full textHypertension affects over a billion adults worldwide and remains a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and mortality. Effective management requires consistent medication adherence and lifestyle changes, but barriers such as limited healthcare access often hinder follow-up. This literature review evaluates the efficacy of home blood pressure (BP) monitoring combined with telemedicine follow-up in improving medication adherence among adults with hypertension compared to traditional clinic-based follow-ups. A literature review was conducted, resulting in the inclusion of six studies that examined interventions such as telepharmacy, remote BP monitoring, bidirectional text support, and mobile health applications. Results demonstrated that telemedicine significantly enhances BP control, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications, particularly through pharmacist-led and telepharmacy interventions. However, some studies found no notable differences between telemedicine and in-person care, emphasizing the need for intervention designs tailored to patient demographics and regional factors. Limitations include reliance on self-reported data and restricted generalizability. Findings support integrating telemedicine in primary care for hypertension management to enhance accessibility and optimize patient outcomeshttps://commons.und.edu/pas-grad-posters/1341/thumbnail.jp
