“Orlando Furioso”: the Poems that Needed to be Censored
Get PDFThe censorship of books during the Renaissance had been done due to the lack of support from the religion being practiced. Despite a text being fictional, it was deemed to be wrong towards catholicism, making it forbidden to be read. When comparing the book from special collections, the one which was made during the Renaissance was censored the most, helping compare the reason behind the censorship. In “Orlando Furioso,” there are many censored lines of text that are due to the mention of angels or fantasy. Due to this book being from Italy, the text was taken more seriously to be censored because of how public it was and how popular the poems were. This also included the images that were paired with each poem. There were differences when comparing an English version of the text to the one in Italian.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1059/thumbnail.jp
Empowering the Vote: Universal Basic Income’s Potential to Transform American Politics
Get PDFWidespread political participation is central to the health of a functioning democracy, yet voter turnout rates in both general and midterm US elections vary considerably based on one’s financial well-being, with 2016 election data showing that lower-income adults voted 38% less than the financially well-off. Because lower income Americans often live paycheck-to-paycheck, engaging in unpaid activities such as learning about candidates, researching political issues, and getting to the polls all take a backseat to meeting essential needs. Using quantitative and analytic research methods, this research examines evidence of the connection between financial well-being and voter turnout and consider how the lower turnout of poorer Americans––who tend to favor Democrats––greatly affects the political landscape. This project then discusses how a universal basic income can be utilized to increase turnout among low-income voters and explore how this shift in voter participation might affect electoral outcomes.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1068/thumbnail.jp
Digital Amnesia: The Aftermath of a Screenshot
Get PDFThe photo impairment effect is the finding that memory for photographed information is worse than for viewed information. Recent research has extended this finding to stimuli that are screenshot on a phone or computer (Lurie et al., submitted). One potential explanation for the impairment is cognitive offloading, which is a reliance on an external memory store for information (Henkel, 2014; Lurie & Westerman, 2021; Lurie et al., submitted). Four experiments were conducted to examine the feasibility of the offloading account by investigating potential benefits of taking screenshots as compared with viewing pieces of art, as suggested by previous research. The results suggest that the act of screenshotting produces memory costs (average d = 1.35) without the expected benefits for source memory, subsequently learned information, or performance on a cognitive task compared with viewing. These collective findings do not support a cognitive offloading explanation.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1073/thumbnail.jp
Therapy Talk on TherapyTok: Psychotherapeutic Discourse on Social Media
Get PDFTherapy-talk is a discursive framework which subtends modern conceptions of mental healthcare. Normatively, this takes place within the spatiotemporal moment of the therapy session, a clinical environment in which the therapist occupies an authority role and administers treatment to their patient. However, the Unites States faces an ongoing mental health crisis which is magnified by racialized and class-based disparities in access to treatment. This has led to the proliferation of non-normative and often digital approaches to treatment. One such approach involves the development of mental health communities on various social media platforms. On TikTok, this community is sometimes called TherapyTok, which refers to a rapidly growing number of therapy influencers and those who consume their content. A comparative Goffmanian frame analysis reveals the ways TherapyTok transgresses the normative discursive practices of therapy-talk.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1081/thumbnail.jp
Public Perceptions of Lyme Disease in Broome County
Get PDFLyme Disease, a vector borne illness caused by the blacklegged tick, has become increasingly more prevalent in the last decade, particularly in the Southern Tier. As a result, there has been a rise in public discourse regarding the importance of Personal Protection techniques against Lyme Disease. Previous research has demonstrated that certain attributes such as a person’s occupation and Lyme Disease status can impact their likelihood of adoption prevention techniques. This study builds upon these principles and aims to quantify the impact of Lyme Disease public service announcements through various types of media. The study also attempts to quantify the impact of friend and family sentiments on an individual’s opinion. This will be deduced by applying linear regression analysis to surveying done on Broome County populations. The data from this study will give insight to organizations pushing Lyme Disease awareness, allowing them to better allocate their resources.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1089/thumbnail.jp
Analysis of the Development, Effectiveness, and Future of Green Infrastructure in Broome County since the 2011 floods
Get PDFThis research project delves into the development, effectiveness, and necessity of green infrastructure in Broome County since 2011, particularly in the wake of floods that devastated the county that year. By examining the geographical landscape, historical flood control measures, and recent weather patterns, it elucidates why traditional flood control methods have become insufficient. Through a thorough analysis of over 170 green infrastructure projects, such as the innovative green roof on Binghamton\u27s city hall, this study will evaluate the tangible and abstract benefits of such initiatives, such as reduced stormwater runoff, improved water quality, and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, it explores the socioeconomic impact of green infrastructure, including property value fluctuations and public perception. By gathering data from residents and city officials, alongside scientific assessments of water levels, this research aims to provide a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the role of green infrastructure in mitigating flood damage and fostering long-term sustainability in Broome County.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1094/thumbnail.jp
The Collaborative Research Process of Curating a Museum Exhibit
Get PDFIn order to interpret objects for public consumption, the method of collaboration is extremely necessary in the research process of curating a museum exhibit. The collaboration with professionals from various fields and studies aids curators in deciding which works should be displayed. The research topic, whether it be the maternal bonds in Madonna pieces, intimacy in Larry Fink’s Social Graces, how contemporary Mexican artwork as a form of protest, or the transition after abuse, all require inclusivity, access, and sensitivity as they are interlocking aspects in a curator’s investigation and exploration. As seen through the curatorial interns of Binghamton University Art Museum’s projects, the methodology of curators is motivated by a goal of displaying diverse stories to a diverse audience and building on a museum’s idea of not only collecting and preserving but furthermore interpreting and displaying significant works.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1102/thumbnail.jp
Correlation Between Alcohol Consumption, a Nutritionally Dense Diet, and Mood
Get PDFCollege students’ lifestyle often contributes to a poor diet coupled with a high consumption of alcohol. Diet as well as alcohol are important factors that contribute to overall mood. This research aims to assess the association between diet quality, alcohol and mood. An anonymous online survey was administered through GroupMe, iMessage, YikYak, and swap survey. The survey included basic demographic questions and questions on food groups frequency consumption, alcohol consumption, and questions regarding overall mood. Pearsons’s Correlation Analysis was utilized using SPSS version 28.0. Our results suggest that there is a relationship between binge drinking, nutrition, and mood. A lower alcohol consumption and a higher nutritionally dense and varied diet results in a more positive mood. Educating college students on the importance of good nutrition, and dangers of high alcohol consumption can ultimately lead to detrimental effects on mood.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1117/thumbnail.jp
Parenting Styles and Child Epistemic Uncertainty: Exploring the Connection
Get PDFDuring child-parent interactions, children are often influenced by parent/guardian behavior as demonstrated in attachment theories (Flaherty & Sadler, 2010) and modeling behavior theories (Mazzuchhelli, 2018). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between child epistemic uncertainties and parenting type. First, video data from eight child-parent interactions constructing at home engineering kits were analyzed for children’s epistemic uncertainties. Second, parenting styles were analyzed using the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Coding Scheme including authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive along with subsequent subscales codes 1-5 (Sheh, 2013). The hypothesized result is children who have parents on the Authoritative parenting scale and display high on the connection dimension subscale will display the least amount of epistemic uncertainty. The potential significance may inform how to support parents in making changes in their behavior to benefit their child’s certainty level when completing tasks.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2024/1119/thumbnail.jp
Consensus recommendations for the use of novel antiretrovirals in persons with HIV who are heavily treatment-experienced and/or have multidrug-resistant HIV-1: Endorsed by the American Academy of HIV Medicine, American College of Clinical Pharmacy: An executive summary
Get PDFTreatment options are currently limited for persons with HIV-1 (PWH) who are heavily treatment-experienced and/or have multidrug-resistant HIV-1. Three agents have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2018, representing a significant advancement for this population: ibalizumab, fostemsavir, and lenacapavir. However, there is a paucity of recommendations endorsed by national and international guidelines describing the optimal use (e.g., selection and monitoring after initiation) of these novel antiretrovirals in this population. To address this gap, a modified Delphi technique was used to develop these consensus recommendations that establish a framework for initiating and managing ibalizumab, fostemsavir, or lenacapavir in PWH who are heavily treatment-experienced and/or have multidrug-resistant HIV-1. In addition, future areas of research are also identified and discussed in the main document
