Higher Education Students’ Perceptions of Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThis article focuses on the impacts of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on students at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. Using survey data (n = 64) and semistructured interviews with currently enrolled students (n = 17), key impacts of online learning on the student body were analyzed. The respondents reported disengagement in lectures, negative impacts on their mental and physical health, negative thoughts about dropping out and transferring, apprehension about the quality of course content, and dissatisfaction with tuition. The paper utilizes qualitative data analysis to report the findings
Air Temperature and Diet are Not Associated with Oxygen Consumption Rate in Banded Crickets, Gryllodes sigillatus
Get PDFAll living organisms acclimate to their environments, with ectothermic species particularly susceptible to environmental change, specifically temperature. Ectothermic insects like crickets directly alter their physiological processes depending on the environment in which they live. Temperature is vital in regulating processes such as metabolism, respiration, and reproduction, among other things. What remains unclear is how a change in the environment, specifically extreme temperature change and dietary alterations, affects physiological processes. In this study, we performed experiments on ectothermic banded crickets to examine the effects of temperature change and the interaction of temperature and diet on oxygen consumption. For both experiments, we found no effect of temperature change or diet on oxygen consumption, and we were unable to correlate diet or temperature to oxygen consumption rate. We recommend more research to fully understand how temperature change and diet affect oxygen consumption rate

Body Image Highlight Reel: Bringing Awareness to the Effect of Social Media, Advertisements, and Societal Standards on Young Girls and Women Across the Globe
Get PDFOur Zine brings awareness to the effects of social media, advertisements, and societal standards on young girls and women across the globe. We researched multiple countries in order to see how women in different cultures face eating disorders and plastic surgery in order to fit the beauty standard.
