No full textAccessibility to Menstrual Products at the University of Northern Iowa
Get PDFPeriod poverty is the inability to access menstrual products due to economic vulnerability. In the US, 1 in 5 menstruating students miss school due to period poverty. Educational disparities that derive from period poverty must be investigated. At the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), a student-led initiative aims to reduce academic barriers created by period poverty. Within one semester, nearly 3,000 tampons and 2,500 pads were distributed across 17 academic buildings. This study evaluates the impact of free menstrual products on campus by analyzing usage and student feedback, revealing a positive effect on academic attainability. However, the initiative\u27s sustainability is threatened by its reliance on a volunteer model. To address this, the study examines menstrual product distribution systems at comparable institutions and offers recommendations for improving UNI\u27s program. While the initiative has shown promise in reducing educational disparities, further investment is necessary to ensure its long-term success
Affective Political Polarization Pre- and Post-Election: Comparisons Two Months into the New Administration
No full textIn the current political climate, it seems as if the two main political parties are more polarized than ever. Although some studies have found that liberals are less likely than conservatives to express prejudice and affirm stereotypes (Sparkman & Eidelman, 2016), other studies have demonstrated that liberals and conservatives both hold prejudices toward groups they view as threatening (Brandt et al., 2014). While threatened by dissimilar groups, they also see groups similar to them favorably (Chambers et al., 2012). Another group of students working with a similar project investigated how the election may have affected attitudes of each group toward the other by measuring attitudes two weeks before and one week after the election. Since President Trump’s inauguration, there have been an influx of new policies that have gained a lot of attention on various media sources (Broadwater, 2025). This poster examines feelings now that these new policies have begun taking effect

Species Description: Large species \u3c 25.6 mm. Carapace length about 67% width. Frontal region about 38% carapace width. Surface finely granular. H-depression shallow; cardiac-mesogastric region slightly swollen. Dactyl and pollex, wide; slight longer than manus. Gape wide; dactyl with four larger proximal tubercles; pollex with two large tubercle, on at mid-length the other near terminus. Outer manus with fine tubercles. No red pigment in articulations. On inner manus, oblique ridge highly developed near carpal cavity. Line of tubercles on inner pollex from distal tip to articulation. Line bifurcates at base of articulation.

An Analysis of Commercial Real Estate
Get PDFCommercial real estate is typically described as comprising four sectors: office, retail, industrial, and multifamily. Each sector is affected by economic changes and consumer spending differently. This research shows the general overview of the sectors and trends affecting the market, a discussion of the factors driving commercial real estate prices such as inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and employee engagement. A review of the factors affecting regions in the United States is also included. A focus is set on office rental prices for the purpose of the analysis
