"Born Every Minute": Reworking the Mythology of the American Medicine Show
Creators: name: Cantrell, Owen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigates the historical American medicine show of 1880-1900 through the lens of contemporaneous social and cultural debates, primarily regarding class and race relations. The medicine show pitchmen, the central figure of the medicine show, is the progeny of the confidence man of the mid to late-nineteenth century, best personified through the autobiographies of Benjamin Franklin and P.T. Barnum and novels of Herman Melville and Mark Twain.˜ The confidence man utilized a performative identity directed towards the assumed needs and desires of his audience, which gave him a purely pragmatic orientation. As the confidence man filtered through emerging forms of popular entertainment, he found his place in the traveling medicine show in the figure of the medicine man. In many ways, the medicine show functioned as a cultural arena in which the concerns of rural audiences about the ongoing professionalization of the classes, specifically within the medical profession, were investigated and manipulated.
Re-Orienting Neo-liberal Development and Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa

description: This paper explores the relationship between development practices and the spread of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The failure of Structural Adjustment Programs, implemented by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in the 1980s, to foster economic prosperity and stability exacerbated the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout SSA and did little to address the epidemic. In light of such failures, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are reconsidering their development approaches and reorienting programs to include input from government and civil society. This new focus holds promise as a means of mainstreaming the human right to health and implementing reforms that address HIV/AIDS as a cross-cutting development issue. I chose to explore this topic because I strongly believe that development practices and the protection of human rights can and should be inextricable. Once the linkages between HIV/AIDS, poverty and debt are articulated in national development programs using the human right to health, countries can demand widespread debt relief as a necessary protection of human rights. No social or economic issue exists in isolation, and this paper explores how identifying and prioritizing the social implications of economic reform can lead to more robust and sustainable development programs that protect, rather than jeopardize, human rights.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Katie wrote "The Efficacy of Diet Manipulation for Mitigating Enteric Methane Production in Ruminants" for Bio354 (Microbiology and Immunology). The assignment was to review a research topic of the students own choice related to either environmental or human microbiology. The paper was based on a scientific question or hypothesis that the student either worked to prove or disprove. In addition, the paper included an introduction to the topic as well as a discussion of the current research. Katie decided to discuss the “hot” topic of methane production, since this is a very important environmental issue related to global warming. I was exited about the novel perspective Katie decided to take and was impressed with the comprehensive review of the background literature as well as her understanding of both the microbiology and chemistry related to this topic. Her paper truly gives us a new understanding of the problems related to methane production from ruminants.
description: Widespread concern over global climate change has spurred a proliferation of research studies that seek to illuminate effective strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas production. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas with a short chemical lifetime in the atmosphere, has become a primary target for combating climate change over the near-term. With cow flatulence contributing significant amounts of methane to the atmosphere, scientists are looking for ways to reduce these animals’ enteric methane production. In this literature review paper for Dr. Birthe Kjellerup’s Microbiology course, I compile information from numerous scientific studies that examine the efficacy of adjusting cattle diets and manipulating enteric microflora to achieve this end. Both the potential and the pitfalls of these processes are apparent

description: This paper is the culmination of a semester of study in the Frontiers course on Free Speech. Throughout the semester, the class explored both theoretical, normative concerns, as well as real-world case studies involving one of our most cherished civil liberties. A recurring source of controversy in the modern history of this right is the suppression of domestic dissent during periods of war. At the time of writing, the Patriot Act and other Bush Administration war-time measures remained highly controversial. However, many Americans are unaware that the policies of the previous president were far from unprecedented in our nation’s history. This paper relates the seldom discussed narrative of the Lincoln administration’s attitude towards anti-war publications in the North during the period of the Civil War. The fact that Abraham Lincoln routinely ranks as the most popular American president in national surveys, as well as the minefield of racial issues related to the Civil War, have likely prevented additional scrutiny of this episode. But despite the complexity of issues related to the freedom of expression, it is clear that the fragile nature of this right requires us to closely analyze every instance in which our government places limits on speech; Lincoln, our most popular president, may have been right to suppress anti-war sentiment in the North, but it is vital that his policies continue to receive scrutiny.

Ignited imagination
Creators: name: Phillips, Christine
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330102
subject: Architectural design

description: Research background: 'Igniting Imagination' is a commisioned critique of the Penleigh and Essendon Junior Boys School, designed by McBride Charles Ryan, one of Australia's most innovative architecture practices that has developed a reputation for its outstanding educational work. The building was shortlised for a World Architecture Festival Award in the 'Learning' Category and the 2011 'Think Brick'Horbury Hunt Award. The review taps into a long history of architectural critique where figures like Ada Louise Huxley, the well-known architecture critic and writer, awarded the first ever Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, brought architecture into the public realm through writing. Published within Australia's popular industry magazine, Christine's review continues within this tradition. Research significance: 'Igniting Imagination' was published within 'Steel Profile', Australia's leading magazine about innovative steel architecture. The magazine has been in print for over 30 years (beginning publication in 1981) with a wide distribution network and has chartered the use of steel in Australia's most innovative architecture over this period. It is well known for its high quality photography and reviews. Research contribution: In line with contemporary theorists and academics like Jeremy Till and Jane Rendell, 'Igniting Imagination' aligns with the notion of writing as an expanded form of practice beyond the built form and into the realm of ideas, ethics and reflection. This debate stems from a current questioning of the role of architecture within the contemporary climate that has inspired architects to experiment in non-traditional methods of practice.

description: Introduction Canada and the United States continue to experience increasing overdose deaths attributed to highly toxic illicit substances, driven by fentanyl and its analogues. Many bystanders report being hesitant to call 9-1-1 at an overdose due to fears around police presence and arrests. In Canada, a federal law was enacted in 2017, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act (GSDOA), to provide protection from simple drug possession and related charges when 9-1-1 is called to an overdose. There is limited evidence, however, that the GSDOA has improved rates of intention to call 9-1-1 at overdose events. We therefore sought to examine intent to call 9-1-1 among persons who received GSDOA education and were at risk of witnessing an overdose. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with people at risk of witnessing an overdose recruited at 19 Take Home Naloxone (THN) program sites across British Columbia as well as online through Foundry from October 2020 to April 2021. Descriptive statistics were used to examine intention to call 9-1-1 at future overdoses. Multivariable logistic regression models were built in hierarchical fashion to examine factors associated with intention to call 9-1-1. Results Overall, 89.6% (n = 404) of the eligible sample reported intention to call 9-1-1. In the multivariable model, factors positively associated with intention to call 9-1-1 included identifying as a cisgender woman (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 3.37; 95% CI: 1.19–9.50) and having previous GSDOA awareness ([AOR]: 4.16; 95% CI: 1.62–10.70). Having experienced a stimulant overdose in the past 6 months was negatively associated with intention to call 9-1-1 ([AOR]: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.09–0.65). Conclusion A small proportion of the respondents reported that, despite the enactment of GSDOA, they did not intend to call 9-1-1 and those who were aware of the act were more likely to report an intention to call at future overdose events. Increasing GSDOA awareness and/or additional interventions to support the aims of the GSDOA could address ongoing reluctance to seek emergency medical care by people who use drugs.

description: Coming into the world of college academia as a freshman, dedicated to resolving the troubles plaguing our world, I promised myself that my scholastic exploits would not look singularly at problems, but would investigate proactive solutions as well. I had stumbled across the topic of Andean cocaine production a year previously in an article that described the horrors that Bolivian communities face as a result of cocaine production. It seemed an interesting research topic, since there are clearly two sides with vastly different perspectives involved in the coca/cocaine trade: the Andean region, where cocaine is produced, and the United States, where it is predominantly consumed. Therefore, my paper looks at the two competing theories for the reduction of the coca/cocaine trade: supply-side and demand-side eradication, and concludes that in fact alternative crop development, an alternative to supply-side eradication, is actually the most viable method.

Palamedes
Creators: name: Cantrell, Paul
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description:   This thesis offers a syncretic, synoptic account of Palamedes from the Trojan War. It delineates three interpretive modes: (1) that Palamedes was present all along; (2) that later poets inserted him into the Trojan narrative, either as an archetypal intellectual figure, or as Odysseus?s double; (3) that Palamedes was present only as Odysseus?s imaginary Doppelg?nger. The thesis accounts for Palamedes?s scarce attention in classical texts by way of Lacanian and?via Otto Rank?Freudian psychoanalytic theory, as well as by Slavoj ?i?ek?s adoption of the ?vanishing mediator.? After tracing a potential textual genealogy from Palamedes to Malory?s Palomydes, the thesis concludes with a reading of Palamedes?s implied presence in Inferno 26.
Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Comedy: Finding the Humor in Rasselas through Ecclesiastes

Year: 2011

description: For years, scholars have focused on the serious narrative of Samuel Johnson?s Rasselas and have been unable to reconcile the episodes of ironic humor within the larger serious narrative.˜ By reading Rasselas as an imitation of Ecclesiastes rather than an Oriental tale, critics can begin to identify the humor in Rasselas through the embellishment of the story of Ecclesiastes.˜ The failures of the character Koheleth in Ecclesiastes become the genesis for the failures of Rasselas and his companions; however, the failures of Rasselas and more elaborate and comedic.˜ How Johnson embellishes these failures to create humorous irony in Rasselas becomes clearer for the reader through this new categorization of genre, which can hopefully unite the two opposing views of criticism surrounding this book.

Sounds Carefully Crafted: Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Literary Composition
Creators: name: Lopez, Francisco
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Modern rhetoric takes many influences from the classical era, but aural components of rhetoric are not often included in rhetorical education. This paper examines the techniques used by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his essay On Literary Composition, where he explored the components of arrangement of words in clauses for greatest impact when read and spoken aloud. Dionysius utilized meter and aesthetic placement of words to create work that was technically skilled and appealing to the listener or reader.
Dionysius built on ideas from rhetoricians of 4th and 5th century BCE Athens for his definition of style. His writing on style is compared with the work of Demosthenes and Aristotle among others.
While many of his techniques and examples are specifically focused on Attic Greek, we can still use the concepts to improve modern written and especially spoken rhetoric. Spoken rhetoric on television and the internet in particular provides a venue to exercise the lessons of precisely planned wording and control of sounds through word placement.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Sarah Ropp wrote this essay as a final research paper in a gateway course to the English major called "Close Reading and Critical Writing." Her study of the significance of the role of names, naming, and the lack thereof in Joseph’s Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness is an excellent example of both skills. She pays close attention to the details and language of the text itself and asks important questions about their implications. Moreover, the breadth and depth of her research place her argument within the context of an on-going critical conversation. Ultimately, her reasoned and well-supported interpretation adds to our understanding of a rather mysterious work of literature.
description: This is an analytical paper about Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness written for Penny Cordish’s fall 2008 English 200 course, "Close Reading, Critical Writing." The assignment asked us to identify a single rhetorical choice made by the author and discuss his motives for making it and its contribution to the work as a whole. As a student of languages, the methods of naming and labeling used in Heart of Darkness by Marlow, the main character, other storytellers in the novella, and Conrad himself fascinated me: I interpreted Marlow’s struggle to find a satisfying connection between labels and the people they are supposed to describe as Conrad’s frustrated lament about the inadequacy of language in general to ever truly capture the essence of experience. Moreover, Conrad’s ultimate suggestion that a storyteller may attain a degree of evocative integrity by abandoning the attempt to contain the "essence" and endeavoring rather to describe its ambience was endlessly exciting to me as both a reader and a writer. Finally, the idea of using ambiguity to make a crystal-clear point about the virtues of deliberate ambiguity tickled me; it was a complicated but really fun paper to write.

description: Nathaniel Hawthorne?s collection of short stories, Mosses from an Old Manse, serves as his contribution to the philosophical discussions on Transcendentalism in Concord, MA in the early 1840s.˜ While Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and the other individuals involved in the Transcendental club often seem to readily accept the positions presented in Emerson?s work, it is never so simple for Hawthorne.˜ Repeatedly, Hawthorne?s stories demonstrate his difficulty in trying to identify his own opinion on the subject.˜˜ Though Hawthorne seems to want to believe in the optimistic potential of the spiritual and intellectual ideal presented in Emersonian Transcendentalism, he consistently dwells on the evil and blackness that may be contained in the human heart. The collection of short stories written while Hawthorne lived in Concord and surrounded himself with those dominant literary figures represents the clearest articulation of his ambivalent position on Transcendentalism.

Because  the  attacks  have   occurred  only  within  the  past  ten  years,  not  much  research  has  been  conducted  on  the   effects  the  attacks  have  had  on  the  narrative  and  technological  aspects  of  apocalyptic   horror.    A  survey  of  American  apocalyptic  horror  will  include  a  brief  synopsis  of  the   films,  commentary  on  dominant  visual  allusions  to  the  9/11  attacks,  and  discussion  of   how  the  attacks  have  thematically  influenced  the  genre.    The  resulting  study  shows  that   the  terrorist  attacks  of  September  11,  2001,  have  shaped  American  apocalyptic  horror   cinema  as  shown  through  imagery,  characters,  and  thematic  focus  of  the  genre.

A Critical Study of Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees
Creators: name: Hebert, Joy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Sue Monk Kidd?s The Secret Life of Bees (2002) tells the story of a motherless fourteen-year-old Lily Owens, raised by a cruel father, who desperately searches for clues to unlock her mother?s past. Kidd?s bildungsroman reveals the incredible power of black women, particularly a group of beekeeping sisters and a black Mary, to create a safe haven where Lily can examine her fragmented life and develop psychologically, finally becoming a self-actualized young lady.  Lily?s matriarchal world of influence both compares and contrasts with the patriarchal world represented in Mark Twain?s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, exposing the matriarchy?s aptly structured ways of providing a more healing environment than is Huck Finn?s.  Kidd?s novel also showcases the stylistic strategies of first person narrative point of view, language, dialect, and the motif of place in order to contextualize the social awareness and psychological development Lily gains through her journey.
Haunting the House, Haunting the Page: The Spectral Governess in Victorian Fiction
Creators: name: McGowan, Shane
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: The Victorian governess occupied a difficult position in Victorian society.  Straddling the line between genteel and working-class femininity, the governess did not fit neatly into the rigid categories of gender and class according to which Victorian society organized itself.  This troubling liminality caused the governess to become implicitly associated with another disturbing domestic presence caught between worlds:  the Victorian literary ghost.  Using Henry James?s novella The Turn of the Screw as a touchstone for each chapter, this thesis examines how the spectral mirrors the governess?s own spectrality ? that is, her own discursive construction as a psychosocially unsettling force within the Victorian domestic sphere.

description: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a less known area in sports medicine that combines a multidisciplinary approach in treating athletes. It involves nutrition, behavioral health, medicine, and physical training, to name a few. Over the years, knowledge on what was first understood as, “The Female Athlete Triad”, has increased to encompass different aspects of one’s health. It has also become a term that not only affected female athletes but also males. With the ever-increasing utilization of social media and the perceived importance of public image perception among one’s peers, many young and even adult athletes have higher risks of developing RED-S. Medical providers (physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) and coaches are often first line in identifying this condition and refer to treatment, yet little is known about their opinions and knowledge surrounding RED-S.
Three Daughters in Search of Mothers: Exploring Surrogate Motherhood in Nineteenth-Century British Literature
Creators: name: Huie, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Surrogate motherhood abounds in nineteenth-century fiction. Governesses, nurses, aunts, and close family friends often form strong attachments with young girls, guiding them through life and their comings-of-age. Many surrogate mothers train their ?daughters? according to the rules of societal expectations that mothers and daughters have cordial, respectful relationships, where the mother is unselfish, loving, and sympathetic toward her respectful, obedient, honest daughter. Many other nineteenth-century novels, however, depict surrogate mothers who are cruel, selfish, and unloving toward their ?daughters.? While the role of the surrogate mother exists in various forms, it is regardless a strong presence in nineteenth-century fiction that leads daughters to choose to become surrogate mothers themselves.

description: My interest in studying perceptions of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) largely came from personal experiences with overhearing or being subject to accusations of it being “that time of the month” during interactions with less than cheerful women. Not only did these types of situations frustrate me, but they made me want to investigate how men and women are socialized to think about PMS and how the ways in which they are socialized can negatively impact all women in their personal and professional lives. In this paper, which was written for a Sociology seminar in mental health, I was able to explore the topic through questioning my peers about their perceptions of menstruating women and PMS. My goal in carrying out this research was to show how pre-existing negative ideas about menstruation and PMS influence the way in which both woman and men view, explain, or excuse women’s behavior in general.

description: This is a research report written about a study I conducted for Dr.Katherine Research Methods in Psychology course. I chose to research a divisive political issue that has also had a large impact on my personal life: undocumented Latino immigration. In this paper, I did not intend to make any moral judgments or suggest “solutions”. Instead, I wanted to explore the often unheard voices of those most intimately involved in the debate, Latino immigrants themselves. I first surveyed both immigrants and Baltimore residents in a general study of opinions. I then conducted a series of personal interviews with documented and undocumented Latino immigrants to explore their individual experiences. This study uncovered complicated, sometimes contradictory, opinions and a wealth of experiences that negate the applicability of any universal rule, judgment, or stance towards the issue. In the time following this project, I find that it has only become more relevant, as the topic of undocumented immigration continues to appear in the national spotlight. Is it a problem? Is it a blessing? Is it a crime? Is it wrong? Is it fair? Who is to blame? Who is to be thanked? While I cannot answer these questions, it is my hope that this project reveals the deeply personal and complex nature of the debate.

Willa Cather's O Pioneers!: Violence and Modernist Aesthetics
Creators: name: Hobson, Jordan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Willa Cather's 1913 novel, O Pioneers! concludes with an unexpected moment of extreme violence as two young lovers, Emil Bergson and Marie Shabata, are murdered by Marie's husband in a mulberry orchard. Cather's novel is almost wholly devoted to the psychological interior of the protagonist, Alexandra Bergson, thereby rendering this violent interruption more dynamic as it essentially undercuts the generally lulling interiority of the narration. My interest here is to examine this strange moment of violence and Alexandra's subsequent forgiveness of Frank for the murder of her brother and his own wife through the theoretical paradigms of Ren? Girard, Jacques Derrida, and Slavoj ?i?ek.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic affected access to care, and the associated public health measures influenced the transmission of other infectious diseases. The pandemic has dramatically changed antibiotic prescribing in the community. We aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting control measures on oral antibiotic prescribing in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Alberta and Ontario, Canada using linked administrative data. Antibiotic prescription data were collected for LTCF residents 65 years and older in Alberta and Ontario from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2020. Weekly prescription rates per 1000 residents, stratified by age, sex, antibiotic class, and selected individual agents, were calculated. Interrupted time series analyses using SARIMA models were performed to test for changes in antibiotic prescription rates after the start of the pandemic (1 March 2020). The average annual cohort size was 18,489 for Alberta and 96,614 for Ontario. A significant decrease in overall weekly prescription rates after the start of the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic was found in Alberta, but not in Ontario. Furthermore, a significant decrease in prescription rates was observed for antibiotics mainly used to treat respiratory tract infections: amoxicillin in both provinces (Alberta: −0.6 per 1000 LTCF residents decrease in weekly prescription rate, p = 0.006; Ontario: −0.8, p < 0.001); and doxycycline (−0.2, p = 0.005) and penicillin (−0.04, p = 0.014) in Ontario. In Ontario, azithromycin was prescribed at a significantly higher rate after the start of the pandemic (0.7 per 1000 LTCF residents increase in weekly prescription rate, p = 0.011). A decrease in prescription rates for antibiotics that are largely used to treat respiratory tract infections is in keeping with the lower observed rates for respiratory infections resulting from pandemic control measures. The results should be considered in the contexts of different LTCF systems and provincial public health responses to the pandemic.

description: Motivation and central question The mining industry, central to critical raw material (CRM) production, is fraught with substantial financial risks due to high upfront investments, uncertain revenue streams, and rapidly evolving technological and regulatory landscapes. These uncertainties create significant risks in the supply chains of CRMs, particularly those needed for green energy technologies like solar modules. Methodology A potential solution to these supply risks often proposed is the secondary supply from recycling. However, despite its potential, the economic competitiveness of recycling compared to primary supply remains a critical issue. A primary factor hindering the economic feasibility of recycling is the mining industry's ability to exploit economies of scale, which provides cost advantages that recycling currently cannot match at present. In this abstract, we present a comprehensive techno-economic analysis focused on the scaling effects within a future CRM recycling industry. Specifically, we examine the case of solar PV modules, considering different market developments for c-Si, CdTe, and CIGS modules. By varying the market share of these technologies, we aim to assess how these shifts impact the economic scaling of recycling operations and the broader supply chain. Results and Conclusions Our analysis utilizes a techno-economic optimization model to explore the viability of recycling in comparison to primary supply. We hypothesize that economies of scale will be a crucial factor in driving the competitiveness of recycling chains. Preliminary results suggest that the quantities of silicon metal from c-Si PV modules may be insufficient to sustain competitive recycling plants on their own, prompting the need to investigate whether secondary raw material production could benefit from combining multiple CRM sources.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Interpersonal forms of communication have become increasingly mediated as information technologies expand in an intimate integration with humans—a trajectory from the telegraph, telephone and then radio, television, to today’s digital media (such as Facebook). Bodies that once were involved directly (corporeally) in communication disappear, only to reappear as pixelated identities. Geographic mobility coupled with information technologies stretch social relationships in such a manner that face-to-face interaction is in general decline. As our physical presence is replaced by “data doubles” in the social network era, we expose ourselves to the unscrupulous or disingenuous panoptic gaze of corporations, advertisers, or governmental agencies. Vanessa Keen’s study of Facebook surveillance exposes the anxious and aggressive gleaning of information-rich profiles from social networking sites like Facebook. Her research reveals the risks of exposure inherent in blogging, networking, and Facebooking that may be vacuumed by prospective employers, marketers, police, and, in the age of a perpetual war on terror, intelligence agencies.
description: Like many college students rarely is there a time I log on to the internet without at least a quick check of my Facebook. I’ve always been fully aware that this isn’t the best of habits in terms of procrastination and time-wasting techniques, but I never quite understood the deeper concerns some critics seemed to have with the site. In my COM 262 class, Research Methods in Communication Studies, I used the semester-long assignment of investigating a surveillance related topic as a chance to uncover the darker side of the popular social networking site. In this paper I closely examine privacy and surveillance related issues with Facebook, including how the site and user’s personal profile information is used by institutions, advertisers, and the government. I hope that readers will be able to apply some of the information within this paper to their own Facebook activity.

Inside and Outside 1101: First-Year Student Perceptions of Academic Writing
Creators: name: Jones, Laura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: First-year undergraduate students have vastly different perceptions of academic writing, the writing process, and the value of writing within their specific academic disciplines. These perceptions differ not only from their instructors but also from their peers. Yet, while reams of literature discuss, debate, and decipher student perspectives of writing from a scholarly point of view, the first-year student voice is conspicuously absent from this discussion. This study followed 92 first-year students through their first college composition course, English 1101, in order to capture the student perspective of how writing fits in their academic careers. The results indicate that while most students acknowledge first-year composition to be essential to their academic development, few report writing assignments in courses outside of 1101. This raises questions about how students identify writing activities and also suggests avenues for further inquiry, particularly the need for follow-up research at the culmination of their undergraduate careers.

description: Efficiency within the pharmaceutical packaging process is critical for supplying patients and maintaining a profitable business. This report focuses on improving the efficiency of a blister packaging line at the Mt. Vernon, IN site within the AstraZeneca network. This report discusses the narrowing of the problem of sub-optimal line performance to a manageable project aimed at improving a major source of lacking operability and efficiency at the thermoformer on blister line 17. The consistent issues and equipment downtime on line 17 were analyzed, and excessive downtime was discovered relating to the lidding web walking at the thermoformer. This web walking phenomenon was discovered to occur when the lidding material of the blister would become misaligned when navigating the lidding printer, causing defective blisters and a lidding printing process that was difficult to control. This issue is detailed in this report as well as the web alignment system targeted at improving the line with regards to cost, efficiency, and operability.
 This web alignment system was designed to be integrated into the lidding printer to provide a meaningful process control with substantial efficiency gains. In this project, a cost savings analysis was conducted based on the alignment system proposal to provide justification for the project. A lidding web alignment system was then designed using a chosen device from a vendor to integrate this automated solution into a limited space with highly specific design requirements. The design decisions made for this system are detailed in this report with engineering reasoning. This system was ultimately tested and qualified to be used during commercial production on line 17. This system was ultimately integrated effectively into the lidding printer and provided an efficiency improvement and cost savings, even exceeding the project goals, for AstraZeneca to better serve its patients and its business.
