The Sulu Sea Mandate: A Diplomatic and Military Initiative to Ensure Freedom of the Seas
No full textThis thesis advocates the establishment of an official US government diplomatic policy, and recommends specific means for its implementation. By combining a written narrative with a unique and highly detailed Geographic Information System (GIS,) this thesis argues that securing the Philippines archipelago from further Chinese annexations is a US strategic imperative. To that end, US military forces and capabilities- particularly those of the US Marine Corps (USMC)- would be integrated into the revamped defense of the Philippines.
Utilizing a variety of datasets, the thesis GIS depicts such features as geopolitical boundaries, conflict zones, maritime trade routes, bathymetry, navigational hazards, undersea fiber optic cables, satellite overflight paths, island roadways, environmentally protected areas, active volcanoes, and many more, including evaluations of every airfield and significant port throughout the entire Philippines archipelago. Applying thesis GIS results to the USMC “Force Design 2030 organizational plan reveals the sites best suited to serve as bases for the deployment of US troops and equipment.
Coupling a narrative that establishes political and strategic perspectives to a GIS that lays out a logistical framework for military preparedness, this thesis presents a compelling call for an assertive diplomatic decree that would discourage further Chinese aggression, bolster the security of the Republic of the Philippines, and guarantee the free flow of commerce through its territorial waters in the Sulu Sea

No full textRuthless: The Revolution of Gangsta Rap
No full textThe popularization of gangsta rap in the United States was pivotal to the advancement of Black America following the close of the Civil Rights Movement. The ruthlessness of gangsta rap created a distaste of authority that became a catalyst for Black American unity and change. Artists quickly started writing songs that spoke out against issues plaguing Black and poor Americans, realizing the power of the microphone and the radio. These rappers created an awareness for White audiences that had not been present before and even created a space for White artists with shared experiences. Female rappers took this activism a step forward, focusing on the issues unique to Black women, serving the womanist agenda. Collectively, these artists’ origin stories and works display how gangsta rap and hip-hop culture are more than music, fashion, and dancing; they are the means for a movement
The Machine Learning Race: Can Algorithms Truly Predict Bitcoin’s Volatility
No full textAn unpredictable, chaotic, and endlessly fascinating whirlwind is the Bitcoin market. We test the limits of human intelligence and machine accuracy as we observe its erratic movements, posing the straightforward but important question: Can algorithms really make sense of something so unpredictable?
We tested a variety of machine learning models in this study, ranging from more sophisticated neural networks like RNNs and LSTMs to more conventional techniques like decision trees and support vector machines. Like a lone explorer, each model looks for the mysterious patterns concealed in the price and volume swings of Bitcoin. While deeper models take their time, processing the complexities, but at a cost, others move quickly but only touch the surface.
But which strategy is most effective? That\u27s what we want to learn. By contrasting these models side by side, we can determine whether more straightforward algorithms are sufficient or whether deep learning\u27s added complexity actually gives an advantage. Does efficiency and speed trump more profound understanding? Or do complexity and patience result in more accurate forecasts?
However, this is about more than technology. It speaks to something deeply human—the insatiable desire to predict, comprehend, and impose order on chaos. Regardless of how sophisticated our models become, Bitcoin remains unpredictable, reminding us that even the brightest minds and most advanced algorithms are sometimes simply looking for meaning in the unknown. Some modern neural networks detect many noises in data, whereas traditional algorithms barely detect anything. The approach to find the perfect model should be by utilizing the different algorithms and adding the market sentiments through social media, news, and many more.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1064/thumbnail.jp
Deals to Doodles: A Children\u27s Book Illustrator\u27s Perspective
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
As artistic opportunities grow, the world of illustration and artistic expression is ever-changing, and navigating this profession can become tricker by the year. One of the fastest-growing freelance illustration opportunities in the world is children’s book illustration. With creatives and authors constantly producing written media, artists are needed to bring this written word to life. In this presentation, the presenter will demonstrate her experiences in the children’s book illustration industry and how this shaped her view on the industry, her currently developing career, and how this has affected her studies here at JSU. This presentation will outline what tasks an illustrator performs, what makes an illustrator, and the process of bringing an author’s vision to life for young readers to enjoy.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1042/thumbnail.jp
A Crowdsourcing Approach for Families to Adapt in the New Internet Landscape with Real-Time Online Safety Information
No full textPlease note: No video is available for this presentation.
The fluidity of today’s online environment presents increasingly complex safety challenges, especially for those with limited digital literacy skills. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive co-design work to create adaptive tools that can respond to threats as they appear. There is an opportunity to utilize the collective knowledge of adults from all backgrounds to establish a dynamic knowledge base that can educate children about avoiding threatening websites and developing healthy digital habits. This paper introduces a lightweight Google Chrome extension that crowdsources online safety information. Adults submit website reviews based on a set of broad safety categories, while children receive context-specific warnings about flagged sites, including tailored explanations of the websites’ specific risks. Unlike traditional parental control applications, this project emphasizes education over restriction, thereby focusing on fostering a culture of trust and encouraging constructive conversations between parents and children. The initial implementation includes a simplistic user-friendly review interface, safety metrics, and real-time warning capabilities. Preliminary feedback from five lab members demonstrated feasibility and highlighted potential for improving safety awareness. Future work includes user studies to refine functionality and evaluate impact.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1031/thumbnail.jp
