Many otters project - coding analysis of otter behavior with foraged puzzles
Get PDFThe study of long-term memory and the cognitive abilities of otters is not extensively documented. This research consisted of the use of foraging puzzles, which are different containers with food inside such as fish, squid, and oysters. This research project, named ManyOtters, takes inspiration from the foraging puzzle techniques exhibited in separate studies (e.g., Saliveros et al., 2022; Ladds et al. 2017). Based on the studies, foraging puzzles have shown to draw engagement for several otter species. The species focused on in this study were Asian small-clawed otters (Aonyx cinereus) and African spotted-necked otters (Hydrictis maculicollis) housed at SeaWorld San Antonio (San Antonio, TX). The goal of the study was to assess if otters solved novel puzzles faster the second time the puzzle was given 8 weeks later.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos25/1007/thumbnail.jp

Domestic violence and women in education
Get PDFDomestic violence has prevailed especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to its excessive impact on intimate partners, it is known that it has been impacting people in various ways whether it be technological, emotional, financial, physical, sexual, or economic (Domestic Violence, 2024).
In particular, domestic violence has targeted women who have educational attainment due to many factors. With this in mind, we study the different potential risk effects that cause women to have fewer opportunities whether it be financially or employment along with geographic factors impacting them to experience domestic violence.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos25/1010/thumbnail.jp

Clinical use of Sit2Stand AI application for kinematic analysis in prosthesis users.
No full textBiomechanical analysis is a tool to evaluate prosthetic and orthotic patient\u27s. These tools offer the clinician capability of understanding the mechanism of injury, gait deviation or prosthesis problem. Video based analysis require expensive hardware, software, and training which sometimes costs $40-100,000.
The recent advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened up the possibility of acquiring high speed human motion video analysis using low-cost hardware and open-source machine learning algorithms. Still, free assessments like the Sit2Stand test is a current clinical outcome measure which assesses ability of a patient to stand and sit as fast as possible 5x. The faster the speed, the less likely they are to fall in the future.
One such offering is the Sit2Stand.ai application created by scholars at Stanford University. This application uses machine learning and pose estimation to create a human joint model which is then used to estimate joint kinematics (angle) and velocity of movement. Thus, by combining a clinically relevant measure with AI, the Sit2Stand app offers clinicals a more detailed level of analysis of their patient’s function. This study sought to explore a clinician’s perspective on utility of the application.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos25/1023/thumbnail.jp
