Comparative Antioxidant Study of South Asian Plants Using the DPPH Assay
No full textThis study investigates the antioxidant potential of four different Indigenous South Asian plants, which include Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), Neem Leaf (Azadirachta indica), Reetha (Sapindus mukorossi), and Shikakai (Acacia concinna), using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Plant extracts were prepared using 95% ethanol and tested across concentrations ranging from 10-100,000 µg/mL. Ascorbic Acid was used as a standard antioxidant. The percent inhibition, IC₅₀, and AAEAC (Ascorbic Acid Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity) values were determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 517 nm. The standard antioxidant ascorbic acid showed fast acting scavenging activity with an IC₅₀ of 31.5 µg/mL, and the plant extract Amla had a similar IC₅₀ of 34.5 µg/mL with an AAEAC of 0.90. Comparatively, Neem leaf, Reetha, and Shikakai had IC₅₀ values of 400, 16,819, and 11,947 µg/mL, respectively. The kinetic data showed that Ascorbic Acid reaches equilibrium and scavenges free radicals quickly. Amla’s kinetic data revealed a slower and prolonged radical scavenging activity. Findings in this study support the use of traditional plants as sustainable and affordable antioxidant sources.Purchase College SUNYBiochemistryBachelor of ArtsMiddleton, Elizabet

Through the eyes of a hollywood: Museums depicted through Fictional film, literature and its effect on the visitor experience
Get PDFThis piece explores the positive and negative effects of visitor experience based on Hollywood's perpetuated ideas within film and literature. It also delves into the intersections between cultural institutions and cultural representation as portrayed in Hollywood films and literature, examining how elements such as film aesthetics, narrative construction, and audience engagement contribute to the creation of fictionalized, and often misleading, ideas along with the tourism industry. Through a critical analysis of these portrayals alongside the historical context of museum education, this study aims to understand how media not only molds public expectations but also plays a part in enhancing or distorting the museum-going experience.Using the institutional space as a playground for developing plots and locations. These forms of media construct narratives that can significantly influence how individuals imagine and interpret museum spaces before ever stepping inside one.Purchase College SUNYArts ManagementBachelor of ArtsForstrom, Meliss
Anti-Semitism in Medieval England and its Influences on Anti-Semitism in Modern America
Get PDFThis paper gives a history of anti-semitism in Medieval England from 1066 to 1290, focusing on two specific tropes: blood libel and economic scapegoating. These tropes are compared to incidents that have occurred in Modern America from 1913 to the present day to attempt to prove a direct connection between the type of anti-semitism weaponized against Jews in both Medieval England and Modern America.Purchase College SUNYHistoryBachelor of ArtsHallote, Rache
