Popular Figures and Anglicisms in the Spanish Language
No full textLanguage is seen as rigid to many. That is not the case. Language can be very fluid and very changing. For instance, the use of Spanglish among first generation Americans has been on the rise, almost to the point of becoming a new language itself. Popular American and English figures have a direct impact on the usage of English words and language patterns found in the Spanish language. The aim of this presentation is to analyze how popular figures can influence the usage of anglicisms in the Spanish language. Anglicisms are often spread through leisurely pastimes such as watching sports, listening to music, or following English or American pop culture and television. As the use of global technology has risen, so has the influence of global figures; i.e. pop stars like Taylor Swift or the Beatles, popular athletes, and even influencers. Teenagers, as the biggest demographic of popular media and figures, are the ones to create the biggest change in spoken language regarding the use of Anglicism
The Beauty in Social Media
No full textSocial media is a way for people to connect, share, and engage with other people, celebrities, companies, and brands. The influence of social media in the beauty industry has increased significantly from 2019 to 2024, tripling revenue from 24 billion, with the expectation to grow to $249.65 billion in the next decade. TikTok is the most popular platform beauty influencers utilize to market products and engage with beauty consumers. The goal of this research is to analyze how effective TikTok influencers are at encouraging users to buy beauty products, to answer the question of if social media marketing on TikTok works, or if people are conditioned to tune out to sponsored and advertised content. We want to research what factors make the TikTok influencer effective or ineffective amongst the 167 beauty influencers on the platform. This research project will utilize a mixed method procedure using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. We will be seeking out people who use TikTok regularly to determine the effectiveness of influencer marketing on attitudes and behaviors
How Social Media Impacts The Movie Industry
No full textHow Social Media Impacts Movie Consumers In our society, it seems like any new product, clothing item, or sports event comes with a reaction video of people giving their opinions of it on social media. This especially includes the film industry and new movie releases. When the new movie Anyone But You came out, 63,000 videos were posted with the hashtag #anyonebutyou on TikTok talking about their personal opinions and observations of the movie. The US has one of the largest social media advertising markets in the world and it continues to grow. This study will look to see if these social media posts have an affect on the attitude and behaviors of consumers when it comes to movies. Social media has made it easy for consumers to self-advertise new movies like Saltburn, Mean Girls, and Anyone But You through any platform. According to researchers, around 52% of active users on TikTok claim to have discovered a new actor, TV show, or movie on the app. Consumers on social media apps also use hashtags and repost each other\u27s videos which only grows the exposure of the content. The traditional way of advertisement for the movie industry has always involved billboards, commercials, and even bus advertisements, but this society has now moved to a world where word-of-mouth, viral marketing, and social influence is very important. For this study, our sample population will be college students in their late teens to early 20’s. We will be using a mixed method which means starting with a qualitative exploratory research process and then quantitative descriptive research to answer the question how social media has impacted movie consumers

Impact of Professional Development on Primary School Teachers\u27 Practices and Student Engagement
Get PDFPrioritizing student engagement in the classroom, where students want to learn more and be challenged, can lead to future success. This study investigated the effectiveness of providing teachers with professional development focusing on student engagement. The study utilized a mixed-method methodology that examined the effects of professional development on student engagement levels. The participants were 19 teachers who attended professional development at ABC Primary School. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used to test the study\u27s hypotheses. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through observations before and after the professional development sessions. The data collected was used to determine whether there was (l) an increase in student engagement and (2) an increase in the utilization of strategies for student engagement. The study\u27s results revealed a significant difference between the pre-observation and post-observation data collected. From the results, it can be inferred that the increase in scores and use of strategies may be contributed to the participation in professional development. These findings highlight the importance of providing educators with the knowledge and strategies to engage students beyond compliance
L’évolution du libéralisme dans la littérature au XIXe siècle
No full textThis presentation is a dissection of a quote made by Victor Hugo during the preface of his work Hernani (1830), where he wrote that, “romanticism is just liberalism in literature . This presentation strives to contradict this statement by analyzing Hugo’s early works before the revolution of 1830 to prove that not all of his works discussed liberalism. This presentation will also analyze the works of Alphonse de Lamartine and Alfred de Musset during this romantic era and compares Hugo’s earlier statement to their works
The Use and Effectiveness of Diet and Physical Activity As Interventions For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. A Review.
Get PDFPolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that is common among women who are of reproductive age, most commonly in ages between 15 and 44 years of age (Moran et al., 2010). While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, it is widely believed by many experts that genetic factors including excess levels of insulin and excess androgen are attributing factors (Moran et al., 2010) . Women with PCOS experience several different signs and symptoms including; infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods leading to infertility and the development of cysts (Iatrakis et al., 2006). Some other common symptoms of PCOS are weight gain, growth of excess hair, and acne (Iatrakis et al., 2006). There are currently several proposed interventions for women with PCOS such as medication, exercise, intermittent fasting, and changes in diet. (Almenning et al., 2015;Banting et al., 2014; Goss et al., 2014; Moran et al., 2017) The purpose of this literature review is to understand the differing treatments and interventions that help alleviate the symptoms of PCOS and determine the effectiveness of these interventions
