The Ghanaian War Against Malaria: A Geospatial Approach to Malaria and Healthcare Access in Ghana
No full textFor many nations, including Ghana, the fight against malaria has long been a difficult task, with millions of cases annually. This geospatial research project aims to analyze the complex interplay between demographic factors, cultural beliefs, preventive measures, healthcare access, and malaria incidence in Ghana. Key research questions include examining the relationship between malaria cases and healthcare access, the impact of vaccinations on malaria prevalence, the role of mosquito bed net usage, and the influence of cultural beliefs on malaria prevention and treatment. The study will use GIS and spatial analysis to map malaria distribution, healthcare facility locations, vaccination success rates, bed net usage, along with other cultural factors. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, the research uses surveys, interviews, and secondary data sources such as Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) datasets, Ghana Statistical Services data, Malaria Atlas, and WHO reports. This comprehensive approach aims to provide evidence-based insights into malaria control, healthcare access disparities, and cultural influences. The research aims to identify malaria hotspots, assess healthcare access inequalities, and optimize resource allocation for the Ghanaian government. This research project holds great promise for advancing our understanding of malaria in Ghana and informing targeted interventions to reduce its prevalence. The project will contribute to the global effort to combat malaria, improve healthcare access, and enhance the health and well-being of Ghana\u27s population.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2024/1064/thumbnail.jp
The Connection Between Schadenfreude, Dark Traits, and Counterproductive Workplace Behaviors
No full textSchadenfreude is defined as a positive reaction to someone else’s misfortune (Johnson, 2021). In previous research schadenfreude has been found to be positively correlated with measures of the dark personality traits of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism (Greenier, 2018; James et al., 2014).
Further, all three components of the dark triad have been found to be related to counterproductive workplace behaviors, such as purposefully wasting supplies, skipping work, ignoring people at work, etc. (O\u27Boyle et al., 2012). The goal of the current study is to further examine and replicate the relationship between schadenfreude, dark traits, and counterproductive workplace behaviors. Over 150 college students participated in a large-scale online survey assessing a variety of constructs related to dark traits. The schadenfreude measure was created by the authors, based on an adaptation of the scenarios developed by Johnson (2021). Workplace behaviors were assessed using the Counterproductive Workplace Behavior Checklist (Spector et al., 2006) and dark traits were assessed using the Dirty Dozen (Jonason & Webster, 2010) and SD-4 (Paulhus et al., 2021). We hypothesize that there will be strong positive correlations between all of the subscales assessed. The discussion will focus on how our results tie back to previous research.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2024/1030/thumbnail.jp
OVR Society (Business Plan)
No full textIn today’s society, numerous people feel a disconnect with society. This could be due to several reasons like mental health, trauma, or even just being a deep thinker. Some of these people are considered introverts, and not many talk about it. According to Harvard education, more than 60% of young adults feel a serious sense of loneliness. OVR Society will provide clothing that appeals to those who have a disconnect with society. At OVR SOCIETY, our goal is to relay a message through our clothing. “Embracing Individuality, Empowering Authenticity”. When choosing OVR Society, you are not just choosing to wear clothing, you’re choosing empowerment, acceptance, and a brighter future. We offer high-quality and affordable clothing that is up to date as well.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2024/1025/thumbnail.jp
The Relationship Between Age, Emerging Adulthood, Empathy, Moral Reasoning, and Dark Traits
No full textThe relationship between age and dark personality traits has only very recently begun to appear as a topic in personality research and the preliminary findings suggest that morality and empathy tend to increase with age (Abramson et al., 2022). Interestingly, at the same time, research has found an increase in Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism (dark traits) in adolescence with a peak in emerging adulthood (Klimstra et al., 2020). Further, Barlett and Barlett (2015) pointed out that the key characteristics of emerging adulthood could actually be better indications of presence of socially aversive traits than just using age itself. In the current study, we are examining the relationship between age, empathy, moral reasoning, dark traits, and indicators of participants’ perceived transition into adulthood. Empathy will be assessed using the Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (Reniers et al., 2011) and moral reasoning will be assessed using a modified Kolhbergian framework (Brugman et al., 2023). The dark traits will be assessed using the SD-4 (Paulhus et al., 2021) and Dirty Dozen (Jonason & Webster, 2010). A short version of the Inventory of Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood questionnaire will be used to measure transitions into adulthood (Baggio et al., 2015). We hypothesize that the youngest college participants, and those lowest on dimensions of emerging adulthood, will score higher on dark personality characteristics and show lower levels of empathy and moral judgment than our oldest participants and those higher on emerging adulthood.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2024/1014/thumbnail.jp
