Transformaciones de los regímenes de bienestar en Colombia
No full textEl artículo muestra el proceso de evolución de tres modelos referenciales de política social y de régimen de bienestar en los albores del siglo XXI en Colombia. Se acude al método de análisis cognitivo en políticas públicas, como estrategia para la construcción de datos, evidencias y argumentos que permiten describir e interpretar los diversos enfoques y tipos de política social implementados en contextos territoriales caracterizados por un aumento de relaciones de exclusión y desigualdad. Los resultados evidencian que los enfoques más desarrollados en Colombia son asistenciales, neo asistenciales (protección social) e inclusivos, miradas que han ido construyendo una forma de régimen de bienestar mínimo e híbrido con dificultades para garantizar los derechos humanos y la integración socio-territorial. Las conclusiones muestran la ambigüedad de los enfoques y el aumento de intermediarios en la implementación de políticas sociales en el ámbito local

Prison Systems in Northern Europe Versus the United States: Differences in Treatment and Success Rates
Get PDFThe United States prison system is notorious for neglecting the basic needs of prisoners. In contrast, Northern European countries (e.g., Denmark, Norway, Netherlands) tend to have reputations for more humane prison systems. This comes from a difference of philosophy in the purpose of prisons, punishment versus rehabilitation. We are exploring the connection between policies and conditions to the recidivism rates of prisoners, as well as the effectiveness of their reintegration into society through comparison of both approaches. Some services we investigate are education, counseling, and drug related rehabilitation. We hypothesize that practices in the correctional systems impact rates of reoffending and the ability of former inmates to reintegrate into society. The comparison of these two approaches is a natural experiment, the results of which have the potential to influence carceral policies.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1017/thumbnail.jp
Behavioral and Environmental Residential Risk Factors for Lyme Disease in the Southern Tier of New York
Get PDFDuring the past 40 years, Lyme disease has emerged as the most widely reported vector-borne illness in the U.S., with the majority of cases occurring in the Northeastern United States. The pathogenic bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi relies on the deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, the primary enzootic vector responsible for the passage of the bacteria to humans. Behavioral risk factors for tick-borne diseases include those that increase the likelihood of being bit by a tick, including contact with vegetation, exposed skin, and spending time outdoors, all of which can occur within one’s residential yard. Risk factors within the assumed safety net of the home have not been extensively studied, nor has the effects of pet ownership, nor the presence of wild animals within the yard. During 2019-2020 we conducted 130 surveys of households in Broome and Chenango Counties, and performed tick drags in the rear yards of 102 of these homes. Risk factors included household members’ time spent in yard, type of outside activity, use of tick control methods, seasonal activity, and pet ownership, as well as specifics of the yard, including amount and type of vegetation and presence of wild animals. The household’s history of tick bites and infection were also recorded. A risk analysis is currently underway to determine which factors contribute to a higher risk of contracting tick-borne illnesses. This study is part of our ongoing effort to understand the threat of tick-borne diseases in peri-urban and urban settings within the Southern Tier of New York.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1034/thumbnail.jp

Nutrition and Physical Activity in Relation to Mental Resilience
Get PDFThis study focuses on the relationship between nutrition and physical activity in relation to mental resilience. By assessing diet quality as healthy or unhealthy diet, as well as exercise frequency, this study aims to examine the relationship between dietary pattern, mental resilience in respect to depression, anxiety, and stress. The effects of diet and stress were assessed in relation to mental health and resilience. The purpose of this research was conducted to unveil the relationship between diet and neurobehaviors. This includes the way they respond to stressful situations as well as their eating patterns. An anonymous online survey was administered through word of mouth, text message, and groupme. A total of 121 responses were collected. The survey included basic demographic questions and questions on participants’ diets, mindset, stress, and physical activity level. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results suggest that whole grain consumption is linked to self confidence, regular exercise is linked with a better diet, and decreased fast food consumption is linked to better stress management. These findings supported our hypothesis as well as reports in the literature. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that a diet rich in vegetables, nuts, and fruits, namely a Mediterranean diet, along with frequent exercise can lead to an improvement in mental wellbeing and psychological resilience. Findings of this study show the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a solution for those who struggle with their mental health.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1052/thumbnail.jp
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: Perspectives and Pathways to Identifying Present Disinformation Campaigns
Get PDFThe rapidly emerging field of critical disinformation studies has typically analyzed case studies post-2016, a limited lens relative to the grand scope of the historical playing field. However deeper research into the origins of older cases of disinformation provides the chance to break through the surface of how disinformation propagates, expands, and dies off, just as any other living thing. Decades old cases of disinformation, such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and its origins, allow us to identify how disinformation has adapted to a rapidly changing social, political, and global landscape. My research project analyzes texts from scholars of the time, such as Norman Cohn’s Warrant for Genocide, in order to gain an adequate perspective from the time period. Then, through the juxtaposition of a current day perspective including the views of modern critical disinformation scholars, the field will be able to identify similarities within disinformation across time periods. These two separate events of how disinformation propagation has evolved across a century will highlight the main pathways that disinformation utilizes to seamlessly fit into society, hiding under the radar and pulling the strings of society. Then I intend to make predictions as to how disinformation will continue to evolve and allow us as critical disinformation scholars to easily identify future forms of disinformation.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1054/thumbnail.jp
