Annual Holocaust Remembrance | 2025
Full text linkThe 2025 Holocaust Remembrance was held Tuesday, 8 April in the basement auditorium at Merrill Hall, Jacksonville State University.
Esther Levy’s presentation focuses on her mother’s life from September 1, 1939, with the bombing of her town, through being in a youth work camp, the years in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz Concentration Camp, and laboring in a munitions factory in Germany to her unexpected rescue in 1945. Ms. Levy talks about what her mother experienced as well as gives the background information of what was going on around her. The PowerPoint presentation Ms. Levy uses contains historical information as well as a short video about the Lodz Ghetto.
Ms. Levy hopes the audience will leave with an understanding of what life was like for her mother, a fourteen-year-old girl, who lost everything and everyone she loved, along with five years of her life in which she should have experienced being a teenager before moving on to becoming an adult. However, Ms. Levy’s greatest wish is that this experience will impress on attendees the knowledge that any society can be so manipulated that they can allow a Holocaust to happen when hatred and bigotry are acceptable.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_holocaust/1013/thumbnail.jp

No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to fill an important role in cybersecurity, offering advanced capabilities that can aid in detecting, mitigating, and preventing cyber attacks. However, AI presents significant challenges as adversarial attackers increasingly exploit AI vulnerabilities. This paper examines AI\u27s potential to help enhance cybersecurity measures while addressing its limitations and risks. Through a review of current AI applications and frameworks, this paper identifies opportunities for improving defense mechanisms against sophisticated and complex cyberattacks. This discussion explores ethical considerations, the role of anomaly detection, and the integration of AI in guarding critical infrastructure. Recommendations for future research emphasize the need for explainable AI (XAI) and organizational collaboration to safeguard the digital landscape in all forms, from schools to smart cities.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1069/thumbnail.jp
Athlete Endorsements and Consumer Behavior
No full textAthlete endorsements are the use of an athlete in a form of advertisement or promotion to promote a product or service. There has been an increase in the amount of athlete endorsements in the media which has been used to build positive brand images and perceptions for companies. Consumer behavior is the study of individuals, groups or organizations and the process of how they select, secure, use, and dispose of ideas, products, or services. The overuse or constant use of athlete endorsements can potentially have the opposite intended effect due to overexposure which can lead to ineffective advertisements. The objective is to examine the effects that the increase in athlete endorsements have on consumer behavior.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1060/thumbnail.jp
Comparing Android OS and iOS Security
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
In recent years, mobile devices have gained immense popularity due to their convenience and role in entertainment. Phones have become indispensable tools for work, education, and daily activities, leading to an increased reliance on them. As a result, the security of these devices and the protection stored in them are of big concern. As technology improves, many cyber-criminals find new and sneaky ways to attack mobile devices. It is essential that mobile operating systems implement robust security measures to protect users from cyber-attacks that may destroy their device or leak sensitive information. The two dominant mobile operating systems, Android and iOS, have established themselves as reliable and secure choices for millions of users. However, their approaches to security differ in many ways, such as how they handle app permissions or their methods of protecting user data. These differences often have a big influence on users when they decide between the two platforms. This presentation aims to explore and compare the security of Android and iOS through an analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, makeup, and their effectiveness in addressing current mobile security challenges.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1051/thumbnail.jp
Play Art Paralysis Away: Overcoming Creative Fear Through Low-Stakes Exploration
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
The fear of failure can be one of the greatest obstacles to creativity, especially in academic settings where students feel pressured to produce perfect work. “Play Art Paralysis Away” is a presentation showcasing last semester’s initiatives from the Art and Design Club, which aimed to help students break through creative blocks by engaging in low-stakes artistic exercises. These activities encouraged students to explore new techniques, mediums, and creative approaches without the weight of expectations or rigid academic evaluation. By shifting the focus from perfection to process, the club cultivated a space where experimentation was not only accepted but celebrated.
College courses in art and design can often feel intimidating, leading to creative paralysis, where students hesitate to start projects due to fear of judgment or failure. The Art and Design Club sought to counteract this by fostering a peer-supported community that reframes failure as an essential part of artistic growth. Through short, engaging exercises—such as timed drawings, collaborative works, and unconventional material challenges—students learned to prioritize the joy of creation over self-doubt. These playful interventions not only helped students develop confidence in their artistic instincts but also strengthened their ability to take risks in their coursework and beyond.
This presentation will explore how structured play can be an effective tool for overcoming creative fear. It will highlight student work produced during these sessions, share participant reflections, and discuss the broader impact of these activities on artistic development and community building. By embracing the philosophy that failure is progress, “Play Art Paralysis Away” demonstrates how informal, low-pressure creative experiences can help students reclaim their artistic voice and build resilience in the face of challenges.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1046/thumbnail.jp
The Long-Term Effects of Chronic Static Stretching on Skeletal Muscle, Hypertrophy, Strength, and Flexibility in Healthy Individuals
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
Static stretching is widely used to improve joint range of motion, with additional proposed benefits for injury prevention and athletic performance. However, its long-term effects on muscle hypertrophy remains unclear. While static stretching is commonly used to enhance joint range of motion, its long-term impact on muscle hypertrophy remains uncertain. This is because some studies suggest that chronic static stretching may improve muscle strength and power, though its effects on hypertrophy remain unclear. While some studies suggest that long term static stretching may contribute to muscle strength gains, its specific impact on skeletal muscle hypertrophy remains uncertain. Studies on the effects of static stretching on skeletal muscle hypertrophy indicate considerable heterogeneity, making it hard to determine a precise understanding of the impact of static stretching on muscle hypertrophy.
Research indicates that chronic static stretching alone does not significantly contribute to muscle hypertrophy, though prolonged and varied stretching regimens may have modest effects, particularly in trained individuals. Findings suggest that chronic static stretching alone does not significantly contribute to muscle hypertrophy, though varied and prolonged stretching regimens could produce modest gains, particularly in a trained individual. Static stretching may contribute to hypertrophy when performed with diverse techniques or for extended durations. Although there is some evidence that suggest a potential hypertrophic effect, variability among studies makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Individuals with greater training experience achieve larger muscle gains than less trained individuals following chronic stretching. Meta regression analyses suggests that a variety of stretches and longer stretching durations are associated with greater skeletal muscle hypertrophy.
The findings suggest that greater exercise variety and extended duration stretching may enhance hypertrophic adaptations, though the overall effect remains modest. Stretching also has a clear positive effect on joint range of motion but gains in joint range of motion is not associated with changes in muscle hypertrophy. Some findings suggest female participants may experience a more defined hypertrophic response to chronic static stretching, though the practical significance remains uncertain.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1038/thumbnail.jp
