Heavy metals have been known to negatively impact the environment specifically in the form of runoff. Heavy metals usually accumulate plant roots and inhibit nutrient and water transportation within plants. lIn this project, heavy metals being tested include Zinc, which prevents nutrients from being transported to the leaves; Nickel, which inhibits transpiration and photosynthesis and impairs metabolism; and Copper, which can cause protein denaturation and corrupt soil viability. C. metallidurians are a type of bacteria known to have heavy metal resistant plasmids and plasmid determinants specifically directed towards a different heavy metal each, with the cnr being resistant to copper and nickel, chr being resistant to copper and zinc, and cop being resistant to specifically copper. C. metallidurans have previously been known to detoxify high concentrations of copper and gold. They more famously have been known to pump out gold nuggets from exposure to copper metals. Since the effects of other heavy metals on C. metallidurans are not as well studied, this project aims to study the effects of those other heavy metals such as Zinc, Nickel, and Copper and apply this interaction to a real-life scenario of agriculture to see if this bacteria may be able to minimize the damage of Heavy Metal Runoff pollution.

The violence that erupts in settings of HEC, such as crop fields, often results in both human and elephant deaths as both species struggle to coexist. Many methods are being researched to mitigate HEC, including playing audio playbacks that trigger flight responses in elephants near crop fields and reduce chance of contact and destruction. Habituation to these stimuli creates the demand for a greater number and more types of auditory deterrents, but it would be unethical and inefficient to immediately jump to tests with crop fields without first verifying these playbacks are at least somewhat effective. Thus, this paper aims to analyze currently used auditory deterrents to determine if any acoustic similarities exist between them, and create a generalization for what characteristics make up an effective auditory deterrent. The results will help optimize current playbacks and help create a threshold of characteristics to use before future testing, to reduce habituation and human-elephant conflict.","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":"80909202","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}

One of these complications is the risk of developing a serious neurodevelopmental disorder known as autism spectrum disorder (AuSD). With some case studies identifying the linkage of CHD and AuSD, it has been successfully established that being diagnosed with CHD does increase a child’s chances of developing AuSD later in life. There is not a simple answer for why this occurs. However, there are several factors that can contribute to why CHD increases the risk of developing autism. Some possible explanations may include synthetic factors such as the alteration of blood flow in genetic pathways due to early cardiac surgery. These explanations can also include uncontrollable factors such as demographics, maternal conditions, and viral infections, all of which are just as likely as synthetic factors. This research, based on case studies conducted recently, further reinforces the conclusion that the diagnosis of certain lesions of CHD results in an elevated risk of developing AuSD.

Music therapy is a remedial practice involving music to help improve health. Certain professional therapists practice Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) as an allied health profession that provides evidence-based care to hospitalized patients, not just as a source of comfort, but also as a source of healing. This is especially the case for patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, and expressive aphasia. The current growing body of researchers is investigating the effects of music therapy on memory, speech, motor control, and behavior. However, various questions remain unanswered. In this review paper, we gathered primary literature to evaluate the use of music therapy and the mechanisms that lead to successful outcomes. Music therapy is important because it provides a way to enhance comfort for diseased patients, whether in a hospitalized state or an average daily scenario. In patients with neurodegenerative diseases, music increases plasticity in areas of the brain that may improve speech, memory, behavior, and more. As we better understand the mechanisms and optimize music therapy, it may provide more ease to patients and even treat and cure certain disorders in the future.","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":"83033373","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}

It then compares themonetary and fiscal policy of Afghanistan before and after Taliban’s takeover due to the lack of official data andliterature, this paper also proposes to first estimate a Taylor rule for the central bank of Afghanistan prior to theTaliban’s takeover and then predict the central bank’s reaction function to current output and inflation. Acomparison between interest rates and current interest rates sheds more light on the impact of the Taliban overmonetary policy.

These two diagnoses encompass a group of symptoms rooted in the progressive decline of cognitive function, impairing aspects like memory, decision-making, language use, and locomotion. This review centers upon the premise of cognitive reserve, an intangible measure of the brain’s resilience and capacity to compensate for damage, and its relationship with the preservation of cognitive function later in life. Bilingualism constitutes one of many contributing factors to a higher cognitive reserve; however, this term fails to reflect the unique linguistic profile intrinsic to every individual—including whether a second language was acquired during childhood or later in life. Therefore, a distinction between “acquired” and “lifelong” bilingualism is made. Through the analysis of task-based and neuroimaging data, this review article elucidates the impact both forms of bilingualism have on cognitive reserve as a protectant against cognitive decline, revealing that resultant neuroprotective advantage is most salient when both languages are used regularly, in diverse environments, and in an active manner. These practices are observed in both acquired and lifelong bilinguals to varying degrees, which are contextualized and explored in detail within the review.","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":"81369171","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}
