Nipah Virus: A Rare Infection On The Rise
Get PDFNipah virus has caused recurrent outbreaks in Bangladesh and Western India and the most recent outbreak in Kerala in 2018 was the first recorded in Southern India. Some of these outbreaks involved human-to-human transmission, showing the risk of this virus becoming more widespread. It is however a zoonotic disease so it can spread between animals and people. Fruit bats of the Pteropus genus, or flying foxes, are the main reservoir for NiV. Agricultural practices are also key factors in the disease spreading to humans. For example, in Malaysia, the first reported Nipah outbreak led to 265 human cases and 105 deaths, intensification of pig farming and cultivation of fruit trees in the same locations was an important determinant of the outbreak. The outbreak was ultimately stopped by the slaughtering of over 1 million pigs.In Bangladesh and India, consumption of raw palm sap is the main route of transmission of the virus to humans
Effects of Ginseng Supplements on Human Cervical Cancer Cells (HeLa)
Get PDFGinseng is a herbal supplement that helps support the body’s immune system, which can be promoted to help improve physical performance and in combination with anticancer drugs (1). Ginseng contains many different active components including ginsenosides and ginseng polysaccharides which have contributed to anticancer effects (2). It was hypothesized that more concentration added to HeLa cells, will result in a decrease of cell viability and proliferation showing that Ginseng is effective against cancer. Three trials of CellTiter cytotoxicity screening assays were conducted to discover the cell viability for each of the four concentrations. Our results after the experiment supported that Ginseng contains anti-cancerous properties and reduces cell viability in HeLa cells when treated with higher amounts of concentration
Exploring the Relationship Between Religious Strength, Academic Performance, and Mental Health
Get PDFReligiosity is an area of the human psyche that can establish peoples’ perceptions of the world. Most people in the world believe in a higher power, and there are many psychological benefits to this. According to literature in the field, some of these benefits include constructive coping strategies (DeRosset et al., 2021), high self-efficacy (Florin et al., 2021), improved academic performance (Henning et al., 2015), and better overall mental wellbeing (Tamkeen et al., 2021). The goal of this study was to explore the potential correlations between Religious Strength/Affiliation and Academic Performance and Religious Strength/Affiliation and Mental Wellbeing. Another purpose that this study fulfills is that it is very repeatable for anyone else who is interested in this research topic. To address the research questions for this project, an online survey was conducted wherein participants were asked to answer questions about their mental wellbeing, religiosity, and academic performance. The data collected for this study supports the hypothesis of: people who have stronger religious beliefs will have better overall mental wellbeing and stronger academic performances. However, not all of the data in this study fit the hypothesis and showed little to no correlation. Limitations of the current study, which could be addressed through the use of future research, include use of a convenience sample which may not be generalizable or representative of the general population

No full textThroughout universities around the world, every day, the mental health of college students is tested. Specifically, collegiate athletes may feel uncomfortable, or uncertain seeking out resources to assess their overall mental health. There are numerous reasons athletes may be either comfortable or uncomfortable seeking out these resources.

The researchers chose to investigate the mental health of two different sports teams at a university. Specifically, the researchers explored these athletes and their mental health state, whether or not they feel comfortable utilizing campus resources, and whether or not they have non-campus provided resources to assess their mental health state. Participants of the study hailed from a small, religious, and faith-based Midwestern university
