Unapologetic Bodies
No full textUnapologetic Bodies was a project that helped me explore what I've been calling the "undoing process" of societal and systematic views surrounding body image of women within European-aesthetic dance. The dance film I created alongside my research is an embodiment of being completely and unapologetically yourself
Survey of European Green Crabs and Asian Shore Crabs in Salem Sound
No full textThe European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has been the dominant crab species in New England rocky intertidal zones since the late 1800’s, but since around 2000 they have begun to be outcompeted by a new invasive species, the Asian shore crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus). Rocky intertidal zones at Pavilion Beach in Ipswich, MA and Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead, MA were surveyed for both species monthly at low tide from June 2019 through April 2021. Asian shore crabs made up 89% of all crabs surveyed compared to European green crabs (11%). Also, at both sites, the average carapace width of European green crabs was found to be larger than that of the Asian shore crabs collected. From this survey, it appears that Asian shore crabs are outcompeting European green crabs at these locations
Morphology, Orientation, and Distribution of Explosive Craters in the Nyambeni Hills Volcanic Field
No full textThe Nyambeni Hills (Kenya) is a shield volcano found along the eastern branch of the East African Rift (EAR). This volcano is pierced by a volcanic field populated with scoria cones, maar craters, and lava flows of Late Pleistocene to Holocene age, referred to as the Nyambeni Hills Volcanic Field (NHVF). Volcanic fields composed of monogenetic explosive cones can be observed along the EAR. Through close examination of the morphology and alignments of such features, magma paths can be inferred. Such magma paths are expected to develop perpendicular to the regional tensile stress (σ3) and along fracture systems in a rift zone. Here we present our findings on the analysis of these explosive volcanic features found in NHVF. Google Earth Pro is utilized to map outlines of craters and cones. The morphometry of each cone is analyzed for erosional marks and slope angle to determine the area and shape of the original feature before erosion. The degree of confidence for each feature is reported to allow for a more informed data analysis. ArcGIS is used to find minimum bounding geometry data. Trends of the long axes of high confidence features with a short axis/long axis ratio greater than 1.2 provide an estimate of the orientation of that feature and are graphically expressed in a rose diagram. Data has been collected on >300 cones within the northeastern slopes of the NHVF. Here both the long axis of the most reliable basaltic scoria cones and the linear distribution of the various features, represented by the near angle relationships of all cones, indicate a general NE-SW trend. This bearing diverges from the overall N-S trend of the rift but is similar to the observed orientation of other volcanic features in the Kenya Rift (e.g. Mega Volcanic Field, South Natron and Marsabit). A NE-SW trend could suggest a NW-SE orientation of σ3 or could be explained by the presence of pre-existing lithospheric weaknesses in the host rock influencing the direction of dikes
Constraining the Stratigraphy and Depth to Bedrock at the Forest River Salt Marsh in Salem, MA
No full textThe stratigraphy and depth to bedrock at the Forest River salt marsh in Salem, MA was constrained using seismic refraction methods. A ~2 m layer of peat was found on top of a layer of glaciomarine clay, with a transition layer in between. The depth to bedrock was constrained to greater than 19.5 m. Two surveys were completed and each had different p-wave velocities for both of the materials. The tide and weather conditions were then researched. It was concluded that the change in p-wave velocity from one survey to the next was due to a change in density caused by an increase of moisture in the area
Welcome Addresses and Keynotes 1-3
No full textWelcome addresses from Yvonne Vissing, Director of SSU CCYS, and John Keenan, President of SSU. Keynote 1: Trauma in Children, Youth, Families and Communities by Michele Solloway. Dr. Solloway will provide data on trauma, ACES, and a framework that will guide our understanding of trauma on this day. Keynote 2: Trauma Informed Organizations: What they are & how be one by Samantha Koury. This keynote address will explore what trauma-informed care is and how it can be used in our different roles as we support children and youth. She will focus on how important it is for institutions to take a preventative, trauma-informed approach. Keynote 3: Screening Children for Trauma and Adversity: Opportunities and Concerns. Crimes Against Children and Traumatization. By David Finkelhor. Protocols are being implemented to conduct universal screening for trauma and adversity in medical practices and schools. Dr. Finkelhor will talk about why caution is warranted, and some of the important considerations to be taken into account
From The Inside (A Collection of Personal Essays)
No full textI’ve always favored nonfiction stories that roused my emotions and curiosity, and compelled me to scrutinize every sentence and word for meaning. Such stories often awakened memories of my own that I’d treasured but had allowed to fade. In my own writing of essays, I’ve found myself reviewing old photos and mementos, taking trips to the local library, comparing my remembrances with those of relatives and friends. I hope readers will see in these essays something familiar and perhaps revive hidden, cherished memories from their own lives. Versions of these essays have appeared in the following publications: “Hallmark Moment” and “My Precious Stuff,” Biostories; “324 Bridge Street,” The Salem News; “Unrecognized” (under the title “Healthcare Unseen”), Focus on Faulkner; and “Rousing Bits of Assorted Wholes,” Adelaide Literary Magazine.Englis
