    Evaluating the Performance of LLMs and Humans in Deductive Coding

    Get PDF
    LLMs have increasingly supported qualitative research by automating: code discovery, refinement, and agreement data categorization and pattern recognition. • This study explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to enhance deductive coding in qualitative research

    How Has LGBTQ+ Representation in Media Influenced the Perceptions and Identities Among Both LGBTQ+ and Non-LGBTQ+ Individuals Ages 18-24?

    Get PDF
    The modern era has allowed for a new age of storytelling. As our society continues to diversify, the question we must ask ourselves, how is the media we consume reflective of our society? Internet discourse surrounding representation of race, sexuality, and gender have continued to infiltrate our community and be a topic of contention. This study hopes to explore both the positive and adverse effects that LGBTQ+ representation in media can have

    Comparative Analysis of an Aquatic and Dry-Land Catching and Throwing Exercise on Reaction Time and Inhibitory Executive Function

    Get PDF
    Fast and accurate reactions are crucial for fall prevention. The ReacStick measures reaction accuracy by requiring immediate motor responses without delay. This study compared the effects of aquatic and land-based catching and throwing exercise on reaction accuracy to explore effective fall prevention training methods

    Effect of Shear Stresses on Microalgae Biofilm Productivity

    Get PDF
    Algae harvested from the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility was cultivated in nine 27-gallon Rotating Algae Biofilm Reactors (RABRs) to study the effect of shear forces on biofilm productivity. These bench- scale RABRs, with panel entry angles ranging from 0° to 90°, were designed using computational fluid dynamics. Each acrylic panel had dimensions of 0.220x2.5x12 inches with v-shaped grooves (each with an angle of 90°) running the length of each panel. Three depths of v- grooves were tested in triplicate, these depths being 0.055 in, 0.11 in, and 0.165 in. The RABRs were run with a peripheral velocity of 0.1225 m/s with a 7-day hydraulic retention time. Each RABR was harvested every 7 days, and the algae was collected and weighed. Additionally, using computational fluid dynamics modeling software, the effective shear stresses were measured for each panel. This data can be applied to further upscaled RABR projects to increase their effective range

    Biosecurity Strategies for Combating IUU Fishing: Protecting Ecosystems and Economies

    Get PDF
    Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing threatens marine ecosystems and global economies by driving overfishing, spreading aquatic diseases, and introducing invasive species. It disrupts biodiversity, jeopardizes fisheries\u27 sustainability, and undermines the livelihoods of millions, intensifying food insecurity and socio- economic vulnerabilities, particularly in fishing- dependent communities. This research examines biosecurity strategies— including regulatory frameworks and collaborative efforts—to safeguard marine biodiversity and support sustainable fishing economies. Addressing the complex challenges of IUU fishing bridges gaps between conservation, public health, and economic resilience. This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to develop practical solutions to preserve biodiversity, enhance public health protections, and promote long-term economic stability for communities impacted by IUU fishing

    Environmental Racism: The Role of Racism in the Unequal Distribution of Environmental Hazards and Resources in Urban Areas

    Get PDF
    Introduction There is a large difference in the number of environmental hazards and environmental resources that people live with depending on their race. This is very damaging as certain minorities are being provided with fewer resources and more polluted areas, leading to worse health outcomes. There is “A strong association between non-white and poor communities and the location of hazardous waste sites…Studies on air quality have documented that minorities and the poor face higher levels of air pollution than other groups” (Pinderhughes 1996)
