Risk and Protective Factors related to Suicidal Ideation among Adolescents and by LGBTQ Status
Get PDFAbstract
Studies have examined sexual minorities and risk factors for adolescent suicidal ideation. Those studies found an independent relationship between risk factors for suicidal ideation and sexual/gender orientation. This thesis will identify risk and protective factors related to suicidal ideation among adolescents and risk and protective factors by LGBTQ status for adolescents in 9th and 11th grade in the State of Minnesota. Quantitative analysis of secondary survey data of 9th and 11th-grade adolescents will identify risk and protective factors related to suicidal ideation among adolescents and the risk factors and protective factors by LGBTQ status. The study will focus on adolescent responses to the survey as provided by the Minnesota State Survey, 2022b. This study is relevant to social work professionals, as the findings will inform evidence-based interventions to support efforts toward working with populations at elevated risk for suicide, increase early detection of adolescents at immediate risk, further inform family and community-based interventions in suicide prevention practices. This study will also help increase funding for adolescent-specific substance use treatment programs.

A Novel Computational Approach for COVID-19 Fake News Detection by Utilizing Deep Learning Techniques
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in disseminating accurate and false information across social media and online platforms. The spread of fake news about COVID-19 poses significant public health risks, including confusion, panic, and even fatalities. We propose a novel computational approach to address this urgent issue, by integrating advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms like MetaMap and ScispaCy to extract biomedical information from news articles. Motivated by the necessity to combat misinformation, our study evaluates the performance of deep learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), in detecting fake news. We observed that the ScispaCy in combination with LSTM model, leveraging domain-specific tools, achieved the highest performance across all evaluated metrics, with 87% accuracy, 90% precision, 86% recall, 88% F1-Score, and 87% AUC score compared to other models

Poems from COMING HOME IN VIET NAM
Get PDFNguyen Thi Ngoc is my adopted Vietnamese daughter. We are two people from cultures that had been in terrible warfare who have joinedi together in the community of the invaded to share, rebuild, heal, reconcile, and enter lifelong family relations. Ngoc proves to be an angel of mercy to our returning American veterans. She says, “Please keep bringing your veterans to Viet Nam so I can heal them with my love.”
The poems and photos in this article were written for Ngoc and my travelers about some of the experiences we have shared during the two decades of healing journeys I have led to Viet Nam. War alienates peoples and destroys communities. Efforts and relationships like these restore these critical components of our well- being so that we do indeed thrive, even after war
