Revisiting the Anti White-Slavery Novel in the Age of Amber Alerts: Elizabeth Robins\u27 My Little Sister
No full textThe opportunity to teach the Elizabeth Robins novel of 1913, My Little Sister, provided an opportunity to examine advocacy fiction in a more thorough way than I outlined in my 1994 biography of Robins. I detail the genesis of the novel and credit the associations Robins had with William T. Stead and John Masefield. Equally important is the way Robins\u27 network of suffrage advocates elevated the topic of White Slavery and child abduction. I note the afterlife of the novel in attempts by Robins to get a stage version produced. Although this paper is dated to cultural references of the time of presentation--in 2003 and just as Alice Sebold\u27s The Lovely Bones had acquired long-standing best-seller status--the ongoing scholarship on Robins and her topic of child abduction continue to be relevant

Can an Instant Pot Sterilize Media?
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
This study evaluates the feasibility of using the Instant Pot, a commercially available pressure cooker, for sterilizing microbiological media. Controlled experiments began with LB agar media prepared and sterilized using the Instant Pot. To assess the efficacy of sterilization, LB plates were inoculated with E. coli and other bacterial samples, then incubated at 37°C in a biological incubator. Observations were made at 24, 48, 72, 96 hours and at weekly intervals for 35 days. Results showed that the control plates containing Instant Pot-sterilized LB media exhibited no visible bacterial growth throughout the experiment, in contrast to the positive controls, which displayed expected bacterial proliferation. These findings suggest that the Instant Pot can achieve and maintain the necessary conditions for sterilizing LB media, offering a cost-effective and accessible alternative for secondary education and resource-limited science laboratories. This experiment was conducted as part of a larger, ongoing project in The Lab., led by Dr. Turner, within the ESE 423/523 Teaching General Science CURE (course-based undergraduate research experience) in the Department of Teacher Education, CEPS.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1063/thumbnail.jp
Creatine Supplementation in Medical Rehabilitation: A Potential Catalyst for Recovery and Functional Improvement
No full textPlease note: no video is available for this presentation.
The use of creatine supplementation in medical rehabilitation is emerging as a transformative tool, receiving widespread recognition for its natural ability to increase recovery time and improve functional outcomes in patients with a variety of medical conditions and injuries. Creatine can potentially be the bridge between sports performance and medical rehab as research suggests that the supplement can increase muscle mass and strength and aid in a patient’s faster recovery, particularly in individuals with muscle weakness or atrophy, neurological conditions that impair muscle function like Parkinson’s, and injury-related disorders. Research indicates that creatine supplementation is crucial in the enhancement of muscle recovery and strength, which are vital to optimize rehabilitation gains. In muscle weakness and atrophy patients, supplementation of muscular bulk has proved to be highly advantageous in speeding up the healing process, leading to increased mobility and independence. The effectiveness of creatine lies in the ability of the drug to work by supplementing the phosphocreatine system, a rate-limiting factor in the replenishment of ATP, the immediate energy source used in muscle contraction. This ensures quicker recovery, more efficient rehabilitation, and improved long-term functional status of the patient. Despite the promising results, there are some areas of weakness in the current literature. Although short-term creatine effects have been well documented, further research is needed to establish dosage recommendations for particular patient groups and to investigate long-term effects of supplementation. The safety profile, tolerability, and affordability of creatine make it an appealing choice for clinical use. As a complement to typical rehabilitation regimens, such as physical therapy and resistance training, the combination of creatine supplementation has the potential to maximize outcomes of recovery. Its wide range of use among different patient populations, including neurological disorders or chronic disease, serves to highlight its utility as an adjunctive treatment component. However, to produce optimal outcomes, clinicians must adhere to standard dosing recommendations, seeking to minimize risk while ensuring patient health. Although the encouraging results, numerous limitations in the current research remain. Although the short-term effects of creatine are well established, more studies are needed to optimize dosage for various patient populations and to determine the long-term consequences of supplementation. Studies involving older adults and patients with chronic illnesses are especially relevant, as these populations might have varying responses to supplementation. Understanding the effects of creatine in these specific populations will enable dosing regimens to be tailored and its therapeutic effectiveness optimized in the context of medical rehabilitation. Creatine supplementation is a low-risk, low-cost, and safe strategy with significant potential to improve recovery and functional outcomes in the rehabilitative process. The potential to augment muscular strength and aid recovery has been demonstrated in several patient populations, like those with muscle weakness or atrophy, neurological impairment, and trauma. To fully maximize its therapeutic potential, even more investigative efforts will have to be aimed at demystifying current issues regarding long-term duration of administration, accurate dosage recommendations, and optimal applications within diverse clinical populations. As ongoing research unfolds, creatine supplementation can become a standard part of personalized rehabilitation programs, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1040/thumbnail.jp
Case Study: Raffe Studio, Inc.: Innovation in an Evolving Industry
No full textSynopsis: Since 2001, the music business Raffe Studio, Inc. (formerly Raffe Reeds) has served global musical communities as a multifaceted educational bassoon nonprofit organization. The initial business strategy was to cultivate musical communities through whimsical and thoughtful educational resources and performances while highlighting social responsibility. As the organization continues to expand, Raffe Studio has recognized a need to reposition to remain sustainable. By shifting the organization from a non profit organization to a corporation, the business can offer the bassoon community a greater variety of services and create a stronger market presence. As the brand chases a wider audience, the case follows the challenges of social media engagement, well intentioned deals, and the excitement of the evolving music market.
Themes: Brand reposition, media “influencer” marketing, customer relationships, social responsibility, competitive advantage, branding alliances, product strategy, and global marketing
SERVING A NICHE MARKETWho is the Raffe Studio Consumer? Why is the Customer Base Small?
Raffe Studio serves a niche facet of the music industry, the bassoon market. The size and scale of the bassoon market is narrow due to the financial barriers to entry. The first and foremost barrier to entry is the cost of the instrument. A good quality beginner bassoon starts at 60,000. Additionally, throughout a bassoonist’s career the bassoonist will need to buy reeds and/or reed making supplies. The daunting number of thumb keys, 9 for the left hand and four or five for the right hand, force many bassoonists to splurge on educational resources like private lessons, masterclass tutorials, or additional books. Expenses to facilitate the challenges unique to bassoon, exacerbate the financial challenge for many.
THE HISTORY OF RAFFE STUDIOHow did the business get started?
Like most professional musicians, Eryn’s career required her to “wear many hats.” Raffe Studio was founded in 2001 to encompass the multiple music income streams. In the beginning, Raffe Studio was as a Schedule C business that provided professional music performances, hand-made bassoon reeds, private music lessons and reed making tutorials. In 2014 to increase product sales and global outreach, Eryn joined the YouTube creator program, launched her YouTube channel and increased her marketing presence on social media.
Becoming an InfluencerBassoonists, music educators, and woodwind class method courses tuned in for weekly videos, blogs, quizzes, and updates. Education about the elusive bassoon became accessible without the expensive price tag.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1020/thumbnail.jp
