Encanto Film Analysis
Authors: Quintero Isabella , Echezabal Yunex 
Published: April 2023

Walt Disney Animation Studios is the animation studio responsible for creating some of the most beloved Disney films ever made and continues to expand with the production and release of more films exploring and prioritizing diversity, including their promise to "honor heritage through animated films". Encanto is a popular animated children's movie released in 2021 by Walt Disney Animation Studios surronding a family with magical powers that live in rural Colombian. This movie promises to deliver diversity and accurately portray not only the setting but the people of Colombia, visually, emotionally and intellectually. However, media has been misaccurately representing Hispanic people, specifically women for decades, including Disney films. This paper explores how each woman in the film is represented in relevance to traditional women values embeded in Colombian culture, and how their emotional process throughout the film either enforces stereotypes already created and portrayed in American media, or establishes relevancy and validity once compared to real Colombian values.

Authors: Liu Wenzhong , Liu Kaiyang 
Published: April 2023

People with certain medical conditions are more likely to get very sick when infected by COVID-19. We examined the correlation between COVID-19 cases, deaths and three common medical conditions including diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity at county level. We discovered that there are indeed significant, weak to moderate positive correlations between those three common medical conditions and COVID-19 cases and deaths. We strongly recommend maintaining a reasonable physical activity level to reduce the risk of getting very sick when infected by COVID-19.
Just Do It: Analysis of Nike’s Marketing Strategies and Growth Recommendations
Authors: Yan Catherine , Brown Christopher , Greenleaf Anne 
Published: April 2023

Nike is a global leader in the athleticwear industry, selling products for all ages, genders, and sizes. The company was founded in 1964 by runner and businessman Phil Knight and his track and field coach, Bill Bowerman, with the goal of creating the perfect running shoe. Since then, Nike has established the iconic Swoosh and “Just Do It” slogan globally. But how has Nike become so renowned, and how have marketing strategies given them an edge over their competitors? And is there anything Nike can do to grow further? The paper investigates Nike’s target consumers, their direct-to-consumer operations, their recent success in e-commerce due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nike’s social media strategies, and consumers’ reasons to support the brand, ultimately understanding and analyzing the marketing strategies that Nike has implemented and their effectiveness. A key component of Nike’s marketing strategy is understanding their consumers: who they are, what they want, and how to best appeal to them. This has fostered Nike’s direct-to-consumer business (which has increasingly become digital in the role of e-commerce), their large social media presence (which increases their brand engagement and awareness), design innovation, strides in diversity, and more. In addition, the paper recommends that for Nike to boost growth, as Nike shifts their focus to e-commerce, they should focus particularly on emerging markets, which are growing markets that often grow faster than other markets. In addition, Nike should collaborate with more brands and personalities and release more styles to help them grow in the future.
The malfeasance of the juvenile justice system through social institutions
Authors: Mehra Kareena , Burell Amber 
Published: April 2023

I will be exploring how social institutions impact the behavior of adolescent delinquents. I am analyzing the environment and rehabilitative system inside juvenile jail that could increase or decrease the juvenile’s behavior. Some factors that can contribute to institutionalized corruption and criminal behavior are race-based and socioeconomic-based stereotypes towards adolescents from communities of color. In my analysis, I will be following the stories of two case studies. Case study #1 follows a caucasian man, whereas case study #4 follows a black man, however, both these young men are of different ages. There is a clear distinction between how the two go in and out of the system. I will highlight some key points of each juvenile’s home life where we see minor factions resulting in life-altering sentences. While questioning fundamental aspects of a working functioning society I ask, how do the home and street environments of different races influence or perpetuate juvenile behavior? I expect to open a wall to misconceptions made about the juvenile system and expose maltreatment towards troubled youth by elaborating and expanding the research done on their origins. I collected findings such as a lack of resources to support the youths’ physical needs in juvenile centers, the lack of protection from government officials when sentencing youth in the courtrooms, and how the youths’ adolescent and personal change and development can contribute to juvenile behavior.
Debate and Diplomacy in History: Can Eugenics be Ethical?
Authors: Henderson Emily 
Published: April 2023

We must look upon significant instances in the history of Eugenics, such as the California sterilization legislation, as an example of what can happen if regulatory policies are not enacted. The stories of the primarily Latina women who were involuntary sterilized serves as a warning, and reminder of what can happen when vague language in laws allows for the manifestation of personal bias in the reproduction rights of others. A variety of personal and societal factors influence our individual opinions on Eugenics, however, regardless of our opinion we must acknowledge the negative consequences for many disadvantaged groups when Eugenics goes unregulated. When examining eugenics in a modern context (Gene therapy,) there must be legislation that regulates what genes can, and cannot be altered, to prevent personal prejudices from eradicating entire groups of people with a certain disability or disease.
Diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder using Activity Data from Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning
Authors: Desai Shlok , Marsh Brianna 
Published: April 2023

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), a mood disorder, is the most common psychological disorder. MDD manifests itself through a range of deadly symptoms, while diagnosis remains difficult and costly, often requiring psychiatrists or specialized techniques. An easier, and possibly early, diagnosis could improve treatment and outcomes. To address this unmet need, we developed a novel machine learning algorithm to detect MDD based on an individual's activity data i.e. movement combined with light data. The dataset from Kaggle.com included activity data for fifty-five participants in 2021. Our algorithm determined that disturbances in activity is a symptom that can be used to predict Major Depressive Disorder. This insight has the potential to accurately detect and diagnose a person with MDD. In conclusion, the algorithm connecting activity to MDD paves the way to an easier and effective way of diagnosing depression.
Confucian Filial Piety and Altruism and Family Financial Support in the 21st Century
Authors: Ang Caitlin , Nguyen Dieu Anh , Wilson Matthew , Atwood Leo 
Published: April 2023

Described as one of the most influential philosophies of East Asia, Confucianism concepts of social order have permeated throughout the region. Its moral teachings have influenced East Asia as a whole, and still his teachings remain in some families to this day. In particular, Confucius’ views on filial piety, respect for one’s parents, and altruism, caring for others, have been taught in families as a moral model.
The surveys used in this article analyzed Asian families across the United States and Vietnam, asking them about their demographic, respect and acts of service for family, as well as acts for others. A total of 258 people responded, majority females, centralized mainly within Hanoi and Massachusetts. For statements surrounding filial piety, Vietnam respondents tended to have a higher positive/neutral response rate, with its percentage at 47.6%. This remains true for altruism as well. Those in Vietnam had a high response rate compared to the US, having over 25% of their responses listed as “most positive”, while 50% of US respondents chose the “disagree-strongly disagree” options.
We cross analyzed these two points of data, filial piety and altruism, and compared it to their financial situations and how much participants were willing to give to their parents. We also analyzed older generations versus youth, and found that those in the older generations were willing to give more than the younger.
Mechanisms of Metastasis: Analysis on Abdominal Organs and the Effect of Treatment Options
Authors: Keshav Sinchana , Kethar Josthna 
Published: April 2023

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer related deaths and commonly associated with Stage IV cancer. This paper will answer the question of: “How do the different circumstances of metastatic origin, growth, and spread affect the function of abdominal organs and life expectancy in cancer patients as well as how varied treatment options affect tumor spread?” in the style of an empirical review. It details numerous studies on metastasis formation, growth, and its effects in the three abdominal organs of the colon/ rectum, pancreas, and the stomach. Additionally, it delves into the treatment options for metastasis and how they help or worsen the situation.
Overall, the key factors in tumor spread is the tumor microenvironment which highlights the interactions between healthy and malignant cells. Tumors secrete various growth factors, the most important being VEGF which is helpful in the processes of acquiring nutrients and oxygen for it to grow and develop. Prior niches are formed which guide the tumors on where to spread depending on the cancer type. In abdominal organs specifically, the most common sites of metastasis are the liver, lung, and peritoneum, which indicates proximal metastasis of cancers which originate in that region. Lastly, treatment methods aimed at eliminating the chance of cancer metastasis can lead to a stimulation of metastasis, having the opposite of its intended effect. Ultimately, cancer research is a field which is actively being experienced and studied to make developments and further existing knowledge.

The Impact of Surgical Advancement of Transoral Robotic Surgery on the Safety of Patients
Authors: Rammohan Nikita 
Published: April 2023

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a relatively new technological advancement in the surgical field of otolaryngology. However, there are many concerns of affordability, safety, patient expectations, and consent. This paper examines how the new surgical technology comes with a price many hospitals cannot afford, potentially compromising patient safety to gain a return on their investment. We analyze patient’s expectations as a reason for risking their safety because there are certain cosmetic standards patients adhere to and opt for minimally invasive procedures, but put themselves in harm's way. We detail out the topic of informed consent, whereby surgeons cannot perform surgery and limit patients’ treatment options. Finally, this paper also examines the role of the FDA in ensuring the safety and efficacy of the TORS technology.

Method
Older adults (N = 26) above the age of 70 completed a survey for conditions of depression, isolation, social well-being, physical health, and marital status.
Results
There was no significant association found between poorer well-being and depression, p=.863. Marital status in older adults did not make a difference on levels of depression, p=.791. There was a significant association between higher levels of social isolation and higher loneliness and well-being, ps < .001.
Discussion
These findings suggest that even older adults who are socially isolated in a community home may experience poorer mental health and physical health outcomes.
