This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of using a CNN to classify images in the CIFAR-10 dataset. The model achieved an accuracy of 0.6276 and a loss of 1.116452 on the validation set. It was observed that the accuracy of predictions varied from class to class, and this paper discusses the potential causes for this variation, such as similar classes sharing common features. Further research in this field could lead to improvement in driving assistance technology and eventually automated driving.","PeriodicalId":46753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78114082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To find the underlying reason for this habit, an anonymous survey was sent out to 50 high school boarding students in America on 9th December 2022 regarding the purpose of listening to music during exercising/practicing, and their music preferences. Music supports both mental and physical aspects during athletic training. A slight correlation was found between music preferences specifically for the purpose of athletic training, and a slight correlation was found between preferences for genres of music and preference for each aspect of music.

In comparison to the highly concentrated market power of current internet companies, new dynamics of market competition based on Web3 are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80893694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This publication aims to explore the advent of new cell-based meat (CBM) and plant-based meat (PBM) alternatives, and their capacity to improve the health and wellbeing of global populations. These products present consumers with replacements for animal-based meat (ABM), a staple aspect of diets worldwide. CBM and PBM can be applied toward the production of animal products, allowing global communities to utilize more sustainable farming techniques. They can reduce the health impacts of climate change and also provide healthier alternatives to ABM. However, potent obstacles when it comes to the production, development and marketing of these products may impede upon their capacity to truly benefit the health of people and the planet. But if CBM and PBM can overcome these challenges, these feats of bioengineering may provide the world’s growing population a healthier and more sustainable diet.","PeriodicalId":46753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78500978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There has been an increasing trend of mental health conditions, specifically depression and anxiety, among adolescents (Racine et al., 2021). Previous studies typically look at the reverse effect (e.g. the effect of a worsening economy on adolescent mental health) or a more generalized effect (e.g. the effect of mental health conditions among all age groups on the whole economy). This review seeks to quantify the costs and effect on future employment status which adolescent mental health conditions have. While this review examines overall mental health conditions, it also specifies depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, along with general areas of mental health problems. Previous literature from the United States, Australia, and several European countries were reviewed using Google Scholar on costs on the indicators above. The results indicate that mental health conditions among adolescents increase costs to families and society while also hurting future employment status, and different types of mental health conditions have different levels of effects. Finally, we suggest specific areas needed for improvement in order to minimize the economic harms of mental health conditions in the researched areas.","PeriodicalId":46753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83430065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resulting of society's expansive fundamental ways, the community within modern times has expanded tenfold and scientific research such as cryonics has too. This study analyzes the vast legal implications that came from the increasingly popular yet prolonged use of cryonics within everyday life. Through imperative law, this study analyzes the ethical standards of the rising practice of cryonics by referencing past court cases ranging from American and global policies, laws, and amendments. An analysis of such documents yields a common justifiable explanation for cryonics' justified legal position and its inadvertent ethical protections. This study is part of a growing body of research reflecting American and foreign perspectives on the rising practice of cryonics within modern society. In analyzing a large source of legal policy within American and foreign affairs, this study will contribute to further analysis and research on cryonics.

(Wetzel, 2021). Many policies have been placed on conserving the coral reefs, but more is needed to stop the rapid decline. All around the world, different researchers performed multiple types of restoration methods to try and reverse the damage and destruction the coral reef ecosystem has sustained. This paper reviews the other restoration methods researchers have tried and are currently trying to review their effectiveness in reversing the damage to coral reefs. Restoration methods can be divided into active and passive restoration methods. The methods reviewed are removing invasive algae, coral gardening, substrate manipulation, and stabilization, larval propagation, direct transplantation, substratum enhancement with electricity, and cryopreservation. All in all, all of these methods have their respective strengths and weaknesses. The method that can move forward to be more mass-produced would be direct transplantation, as additions such as nurseries are unnecessary. The restoration method that has shown the most promise has been substratum enhancement with electricity, but since the method is still relatively new, further research is needed. A possible recommendation for future coral reef restoration endeavors is to combine restoration methods to make up for the flaws of each method and incorporate long-term monitoring.","PeriodicalId":46753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73868337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
