Caring For those with Dementia: How Can Evidence Based Care Support Healthcare to Improve Outcomes?
No full textThird place winner in Friends of Drake Library Library Research awardsFor healthcare professionals, a large percentage of the geriatric population in need of care
has a diagnosis related to Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) (2019) estimate that there will be approximately 14 million individuals living
with dementia. This is a significant increase from the present number of individuals with a
diagnosis. With this growing number it is apparent that families as well as health care personnel
need to be equipped for the unique care of those with these diagnoses. In 2019 the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention reported that the minimal number of three percent or less of
medical students choose to electively take geriatric trainings, which in turn proves that a
miniscule number of providers are entering the healthcare field with experience to care for these
individuals.Archived web conten
Paleoclimate changes in the Northwest Pacific Ocean as inferred from Mid-Pliocene Biogenic Silica at ODP Site 1207
No full textA sediment core containing biogenic opal was recovered from Ocean Drilling Program
(ODP) Site 1207, located on Shatsky Rise in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Samples used in this
study span ~3.18-3.34 Ma and cover glacial-interglacial periods in the mid-Pliocene. The
assumption that the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents migrate north and south across ODP Site 1207
in response to Earth’s prevailing climate state will be tested. The Kuroshio Current is responsible
for transporting heat from the tropics towards higher latitudes in the northern hemisphere. The
mixed water region (MWR) bounded by the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents is nutrient-rich and
supports high biologic productivity. Biogenic silica (BSi) will be analyzed to understand
paleoproductivity of diatoms, an important phytoplankton. BSi, reported as %BSi, will be
extracted from sediments using a wet-alkaline digestion method and then measured as dissolved
silica (SiO2). %BSi at this site reflects productivity changes due to the migration of the nutrient
supplying ocean currents, as global climate changes through time. Results will be compared to
existing records from ODP Site 882 to assess how productivity responds to climate changes at a
mid-latitude site (1207) compared to high-latitude site (882). BSi productivity is a significant
pathway for carbon sequestration, with global climate implications. The mid-Pliocene section of
the sediment core provides an opportunity to study BSi productivity at a time when global
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were comparable to today. Low Bsi during a
period of warmer global temperatures might indicate a northward migration of the nutrient
supplying ocean currents. This is significant for understanding how present-day diatom
populations may respond to predicted climate changes, and successively, how Earth’s climate may
respond to the changes in diatom population size.Archived web conten
Spinning a Yarn: Newspaper Misrepresentation of Women Garment Workers on Strike
No full textFirst place winner in Friends of Drake Library Library Research awardsIn the January cold of Rochester, New York in 1913, thousands of garment workers took
to the streets. For several months following “the streets were filled with young women marching,
singing, protesting, and fighting.” The social impetus among women to participate in this strike
was so strong that when the garment workers began to picket, women in other industries risked
losing their jobs to march in solidarity with them, though there was no immediate material gain
for them in doing so. Photographs of the strike show lines of women, bundled up in their winter
coats and hats, with a handful of men in the mix, marching down the streets of the snowy Upstate
New York city.Archived web contentFriends of Drake Librar
Poetry of Victims: The Holocaust Remembered
No full textFirst place winner 2025 Friends of Drake Library Reseach AwardThis paper gives an updated look into Holocaust poetry, specifically regarding the questions of why poetry was chosen over prose, and what poetry provides that prose does not in this context. The first section of this paper will outline the differences between prose and poetry. Although not exactly about the poems, authors, or experiences themselves, this section will lay the foundations that the argument of this paper necessarily rests upon. The second section will explain why so many Holocaust victims chose to write in poetry, placing the differences of the forms in the greater context of the reality of life under Nazi rule. This section will be the bulk of this paper, highlighting what poetry specifically brings to the table in terms of the history of the Holocaust, as well as answering the question of why Holocaust poetry is so important when it comes to memorializing the past. The final section will argue for the greater place of Holocaust poetry in education and society, highlighting its unique importance at the crossroads of a major historical event and an underappreciated art form. Indeed, the poetry of these victims is vital in preserving the history and memory of the Holocaust. The very nature of poetry allows a greater and innate understanding of the reality of the author; poetry was specifically chosen by Holocaust victims to most accurately memorialize their experiences. The uniqueness of poetry and the Holocaust combine to create a field that is vital yet underappreciated among historians, deserving an updated and in-depth analysis
