Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis in Bangladesh’s Disaster Management
Full text linkBangladesh faces frequent and severe natural disasters like cyclones, floods, and river erosion, making it highly susceptible to climate-induced displacement and economic instability. As disasters grow more intense, vulnerable communities struggle to recover, facing repeated losses with limited support. Despite disaster management efforts, gaps in response, inefficient resource distribution, and governance issues often leave those most in need without adequate assistance. Understanding these challenges is crucial to improving disaster response and building a more resilient system
Why are Youtubers Bad at Apologizing?
Full text linkThere has been an increasing number of youtuber apology videos in the past few years, but almost all the youtubers fail at apologizing. My poster delves deeper into why are youtubers so bad at apologizing and how they can improve
How the Common Cold Impacts Learning
Full text linkWhen someone gets the common cold, their ability to learn declines. As we know, symptoms such as coughing, congestion, and tiredness are present. However, many people may not know the extent of the effects of having a cold. In this paper, we look at how brain inflammation causes cognitive decline. Taking the functions of the brain while learning happens and linking it to the impact of immune response to the common cold in the brain, we are able to understand why and to what extent learning is impaired. As a college student, having this information is important in order to know why they may be feeling the way they do and how they can help themselves

Letter from the Editors
Full text linkWe are proud to present the twenty-fourth edition of The Gettysburg Historical Journal. The journal embodies the History Department\u27s dedication to diverse learning and excellence in academics. Each year, the journal publishes the top student work in a range of topics across the spectrum of academic disciplines with different methodological approaches to the study of history. The Gettysburg Historical Journal received a plethora of submissions from both Gettysburg College students and other students around the country. The works accepted this semester focus on the diverse experiences of American throughout history, spanning from living on the western frontier in the 1880s to the space race of the 1950s
Fixing the Stench from Pisa to Florence: Visualizing Medici Power through Swamp Drainage Imagery
No full textNegotiating the waters of early modern Tuscany, a region that suffered from terrible flooding and fetid marshlands, was of key importance to Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici. This study explores visual representations relating to the unglamorous task of swamp drainage, a subject crafted into complex and lofty works worthy of celebrating Medici rule. Such a feat had no clear visual traditions, so artists and humanists came up with creative strategies in portraying and describing it, calling upon mythological deities, literary and Biblical figures, contemporary maps and even the burlesque. Marshland reclamation could resemble military conquest, architectural construction, or semi-divine heroics. This study looks anew at the associations of power, wealth and control behind the context and metaphors used, emphasizing the unpleasantness of such sites, the need for firmness and the rule of law, and the ensuing rewards that legitimized such actions. The pivotal role of art patron and humanist Luca Martini in Pisa is examined, setting the stage for subsequent works in Florence under Cosimo I
Morphology and Distribution of Lakes Under the Laurentide Ice Sheet: Implications for Ice Flow Dynamics
No full textThis study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime. Palaeo-ice streams and lobes were important components of the LIS, and properties of lakes in those regions are quantified at high resolution. Lake polygon shapefiles obtained from the HydroLAKES database contain data including water depth, volume and elevation. ArcGIS Pro is used to measure lake area, length, width, elongation, orientation, parallel conformity, density and packing. Approximately 982 282 natural lakes were identified in the region of North America covered by the maximum extent of the LIS during the Last Glacial Maximum. Density of lakes is highest in terrestrial regions surrounding Hudson Bay, and lake density decreases closer to the ice-sheet margin. Packing shows similar patterns to density with the exceptions of regions covered by remnants of proglacial lakes and non-glacial lakes. Close examination of density and packing under palaeo-ice streams and lobes shows statistically significant differences, with greater lake density and packing under palaeo-ice streams than lobes. Bedrock substrate also plays a key role in lake density and packing, with higher lake density under palaeo-ice streams flowing over the Canadian Shield compared with density and packing of lakes under palaeo-ice streams flowing on sedimentary bedrock. Lakes under palaeo-ice streams have higher parallel conformity than lobes, with orientation in both following ice flow paths. Elongation ratios of lakes under palaeo-ice streams and lobes are similar. Regions with high lake density are associated with intense ice scouring on the Canadian Shield, while regions with low lake density on sedimentary bedrock suggest a transition from initially high erosion of soft-bedded terrain followed by depositional processes dominating. High parallel conformity of lakes under palaeo-ice streams provides evidence for fast ice flow, similar to the presence of mega-scale glacial lineations. Quantifying lake morphology and distribution under the LIS provides a useful proxy for ice-sheet dynamics and may help better understand conditions under modern ice sheets, especially in regions of fast ice flow
