Medical Disinformation: Niche-market Targeting in the Black Press during the AIDS Epidemic
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the distribution of information about AIDS by the Black press from 1983 to 1990. The information in articles published by Amsterdam News, a historically black newspaper, evolves as experts release accurate AIDS information during the same period. The conspiracy theories and false claims attributing AIDS to other populations shown in earlier Amsterdam News publications are corrected over time by helpful, truthful information released by doctors, as shown in later articles. My analysis of this trend relies on theories of niche-market targeting and definitions of mis- and disinformation to create a historical case study of the relationship between disinformation about medical conditions in the Black community and the role of the medical community in addressing that disinformation.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1075/thumbnail.jp
Driving Force: Automotive Supply Chains and Forced Labor in the Uyghur Region
Get PDFThere are over 30,000 parts in a typical passenger car and every single part is at high risk or made with Uyghur forced labor, implicating over 96 international car companies such as Tesla, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Honda, and, GM. The Chinese government has deliberately shifted raw materials mining and processing and auto parts manufacturing into the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR or Uyghur Region), essentially making international supply chains captive to repressive programs and systematic forced labor. The 78-page report is broken down into Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Batteries, Car electronics, and Other Car Parts. This investigation has led to an ongoing Senate Inquiry into 8 major automotive companies, the US and Japan launching an international task force on forced labor in supply chains, an investigation into forced labor at Volkswagen, and has been referenced repeatedly by every major news outlet except the BBC.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1077/thumbnail.jp
For Your Eyes Only: Do Visual System Differences Between Predators and Conspecifics Influence Perception of Lizard Body Coloration?
Get PDFBecause predator and prey each see the world in different ways – with different color perceptions and visual acuities – whether colorful traits of animals arise as a result of camouflage or social signaling is not always readily apparent. Water anoles (Anolis aquaticus) are Central American lizards that use visual signals in conspecific interactions. We compared lizard and avian visual models to examine lizard conspicuousness to conspecifics and predators. Using the image processing software ImageJ and the plug-in micaToolbox, visual system models of lizard predators and conspecifics were applied to photos of A. aquaticus and their substrates obtained from a field survey in Costa Rica. Our results suggest that predators may detect water anoles more conspicuously than water anole conspecifics. Rapid body color change, which was not examined in this study, could help to mitigate the high conspicuousness of anoles to their avian predators.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1084/thumbnail.jp
Cytotoxicity of Commercial Tattoo Inks
Get PDFThough tattooing dates back millennia, modern tattooing makes use of molecular pigments that have only been incorporated into tattooing in the last 50 years or so. Coupled with the dramatic increase in the popularity of tattooing, it is critical to understand possible adverse effects of injecting pigments into human skin. We used various pigments, which were incorporated into tattoo ink formulation; exposed BJ human dermal fibroblasts to determine their possible toxic effects. Pigments Red254, Red170, Violet23, Orange13, Yellow74, Blue15, Green7, and Carbon-black were prepared as suspension in cell culture media and cells were exposed to varying concentrations of pigments. The toxicity of each pigment was confirmed through Neutral Red Viability assay and Alamar Blue metabolic activity assay with analysis upwards of 72 hours. The toxicological evaluation indicated significant cytotoxicity for pigments containing azo-compound (PY74, PR170), Carbon black was found to have the least level of toxicity in this vitro exposure.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1105/thumbnail.jp
How Capitalism Creates and Profits from Women\u27s Insecurities
Get PDFCapitalism is defined by the singular motive of profit production. But this profit comes with a price: the degradation of women, a degradation that sustains the profit, or “economic growth,” that capitalism needs to survive. This degradation of women is the root of female insecurities in our capitalist society, but in this environment who really cares about such insecurities so long as the economy is growing, that is, profit is expanding? This research illustrates how capitalism not only creates but also profits from women’s insecurities. This will be explored through the corporate use of media, including advertisements, television, models, and other related outlets. Conveniently, these insecurities can be “fixed” with the almost too perfect products that large corporations produce. These products consist of everything targeted toward women, including makeup, haircare, waist trainers, and dieting supplements, all of which fuel profit from the very insecurities they create.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1054/thumbnail.jp
