No full textInterprofessional Student Event on ageism titled Reframing Aging by Melissa Donegan, Assistant Director HLCE AgeSpan
Vegetation and Cloud Cover Shape Semi-Arid Carbonate Landform Development
No full textDr. Al Abri’s talk will describe the influence of cloud and vegetation cover on carbonate landforms in southeastern Oman. These phenomena have economic significance as summer monsoon winds deliver heavy fog to the region, supporting plant-life and thereby livestock and agriculture
Founder's Lecture: The Role of Restoration in Preserving Plant Biodiversity
No full textDr. Zahawi will present results on a long-term restoration study (>15 years) in southern Costa Rica assessing the effect of different restoration treatments on recovery processes. He will also provide a brief overview of the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos, and will highlight a few of their core research programs

Bill S.701 and Alopecia: A Student Intern's Contribution to Bill Advocacy
No full textThe project objectives were to create and distribute an educational fact sheet, which would advocate for cranial prosthetics to be covered by the health insurance of those suffering from Alopecia. Information on the fact sheet included disease definition, treatment options, incidence rates, and current legislation as well as the importance of cranial scalp prostheses for those with Alopecia. The fact sheet was distributed to university students and members of the Massachusetts State Senate as well as shared through various social media platforms. The distribution of the fact sheet to educate others was one component in contributing to the advocacy of Bill S.701. Bill S.701 was not passed before the conclusion of this project
In Search Of My Identity: A Multi-Cultural Upbringing
No full text13-minute video with voiceover narration, interviews, and text describing the firsthand experiences of five college-age women (including the author) who were born in one country, have lived in at least one other country, and speak several languages. The women share stories and thoughts on what it means to be multi-cultural while living in the US.Media and Communicatio
An Investigation Into Which Techniques Of Play Therapy Are Most Effective Across A Spectrum Of Behaviors In Children
No full textPlay Therapy, a type of therapy in which play is used to help a client share their emotions and work through their issues, is a globally used practice (Cassado-Frankel, 2016). It is used to help many children combat their trauma, anxiety, depression, and several other disorders and conditions. This thesis reports on a meta-analysis of 11 previous research studies in the psychological literature research conducted on this subject and an analysis of data collected via an original survey completed by seventeen child therapists in the New England area who use play therapy on a regular basis with their clients. Consistent with previous studies in the literature, survey respondents reported that play therapy is very effective in helping children clients with their struggles. The survey found that the participants believed a play therapy session should be 30-60 minutes on average in order for it to be effective. The survey also found several patterns in which types of play therapy are most commonly practiced for different types of conditions. For example, the most preferred types of play therapy to practice were Child-Centered Play Therapy and Non-Directive Play Therapy. Another pattern found was that play therapy was most popularly practiced with clients who have anxiety disorders and least used with clients who have oppositional defiant disorder.Psycholog

Medicinal Uses Expressed In Rhus Typhina Endophytes
No full textThe Staghorn Sumac, also identified as Rhus Typhina, was tested to see if endophytes contained within the plant had medicinal properties. This plant was taken from the Pickman Park Salt Marsh by Salem State University Central Campus. The results indicated in the study show the Sumac to be associated with the treatments involving relaxants, regulators, pain relievers, cleansing agents, psychoactive, antibiotic, and antiviral treatments.Chemistry and Physic
New Constraints On Formation Of Orthogneiss In Southern Adirondacks Using Integrated Petrology, Zircon U-Pb Geochronology, And Whole Rock Geochemistry
No full textThe Adirondack Mountains (ADK) form the southern part of the Grenville Province, a poly-deformed orogenic complex formed in the Mesoproterozoic during the formation of Rodinia. The ADK is subdivided into two domains, separated by the Carthage-Colton Mylonite Zone. The Lowlands are characterized by upper amphibolite-facies metasedimentary rocks, including marbles, evaporites, and volcanic units, whereas the Highlands are formed by granulite-facies meta igneous rocks and anorthosite-mangerite-charnockite-granite magmatic complex. A large suite of granulite-facies orthogneisses exposed in the Southern Highlands yields the oldest (>1.3 Ga) ages, however, those ages come from a limited number of outcrops. We present new petrological, geochemical, and geochronological results from several quartzofeldspatic orthogneiss units to better document the timing and tectonic setting of these rocks. All samples are mainly composed of quartz, felspar, biotite, pyroxene, and opaque minerals. Foliation and lineation are defined by elongated quartz ribbons and feldspar grains, or biotite laminae. High-temperature microstructures, such as flame perthites in feldspars or checkerboard extinction in quartz are commonly observed in thin sections. Major element analyses show that samples have calc-alkaline affinities, suggesting an arc environment. U-Pb zircon geochronology indicated two age groups. 1150 Ma which is the Shawinigan Orogeny and 1350 Ma which aligns with known pre-orogenic magmatic activity.Geological Science
