Incidence and Laplacian Matrices of Wheel Graphs and their Inverses
No full textIt has been an open problem to find the Moore-Penrose inverses of the incidence, Laplacian, and signless Laplacian matrices of families of graphs except trees and unicyclic graphs. Since the inverse formulas for an odd unicyclic graph and an even unicyclic graph are quite different, we consider wheel graphs as they are formed from odd or even cycles. In this article we solve the open problem for wheel graphs. This work has an interesting connection to inverses of circulant matrices

The Role of Social Media Platforms During the Coronavirus Pandemic
No full textThe goal of this study was to determine if, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, people felt more or less connected to others via social media. Previous research has shown that the coronavirus pandemic affected many people’s mental health and people were able to use social media to connect electronically with friends to cope with isolation (Juvonen, Schacter, and Lessard, 2021). The social media platforms focused on were Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and Tiktok. A survey was sent to Marshall University students, and 920 students responded to survey voluntarily. The survey included questions about whether their time on social media increased or decreased during the pandemic and if their use of social media made them feel connected to other users. Results indicated that about 59% of the respondents felt that social media made them feel more connected to others. Snapchat was the most used platform to connect with others during the coronavirus pandemic. Approximately 77% of the respondents’ use of social media increased during the pandemic
Examining Relationships between Mental Health Literacy, Mental Health Stigma, and Depression Levels in College Athletes
No full textThe present study aims to investigate the effects of mental health literacy, mental health stigma, and depression levels within athletes. It is well established that mental health within the athletic community is becoming increasingly more important. The study aims to raise awareness towards mental health by specifically examining to see if there is a correlation between higher levels of mental health literacy and lower levels of depression, high levels of mental health stigma and depression, and to lower levels of mental health stigma using mental health literacy. Athletes from a collegiate institution are going to be recruited and asked to complete a survey regarding the following things above. The survey will include questions regarding their mental state, mental health knowledge, and questions about different mental health seeking abilities
