主持人:洛根·梅森

教师赞助人:梅丽莎·康纳

The purpose of this research was to determine whether there is a correlation between a decedent’s body mass index (BMI) and the moist stage of human decomposition. Previous research demonstrated no significant correlation between BMI and the complete trajectory of human decomposition, 但没有研究评估BMI是否会影响分解的特定阶段. 22具男性尸体和17具女性尸体身体质量指数从14.4 to 49.5、被使用. These were donated to the Forensic Investigation Research Station (FIRS) between January 2014 and August 2018. The FIRS defines moist decomposition as the desiccation of tissues while retaining significant moisture. 全身评分法(TBS)对头部和颈部进行评分, 主干, and the limbs as three individual anatomical regions and combines these scores to give values to each stage of decomposition. A total body score of 20-22 was used as the standard score range for remains in moist decomposition. 温度用累积度-天归一化, calculated using temperature in Celsius with a threshold of zero and then plotted in relation the BMI. 双尾t检验(t=2).125), p=0显著.02, indicates that BMI has a statistically significant effect on the moist decomposition stage of human decomposition.

神秘体验在历史上伴随着许多哲学而存在. These experiences have been characterized along the lines of unity (internal and external), 超越时间和空间, 智力的质量, 神圣, 积极情绪, 和不言而喻/ paradoxicality. 这样的经历与敬畏的感觉是同义词, 正念, 爱, 以及其他高峰体验. 神秘体验的好处已经被推测了一段时间, 尽管对神秘体验的长期影响的兴趣已经重新燃起. Previous research suggests outcomes of a mystical experience that include increased subjective well-being and a decreased us-against-them mentality. The current study examines the prevalence of having had a mystical experience and the relationship between having had a mystical experience and an array of variables including personality, 精神/笃信, 道德基础. 本研究结果将为今后的实验工作奠定基础.

罗斯商学院丰富多彩的历史

The history of a checkwriter found in Special Collections at the 汤姆林森图书馆 led to uncovering a historical connection between pp电子极速糖果 and the Ross Business College. 罗斯商学院成立于1905年,1907年迁至大Junction. Ross Business College advertised itself as a place to get the necessary business skills needed in the workforce. 第二次世界大战使得罗斯商学院没有男性来填补他们的课程, 所以他们接受了梅萨学院的提议,收购罗斯及其库存. An inventory list with serial numbers verified that not only the check writer but other items in the Tomlinson special collections were in fact owned and transferred from Ross to Mesa in the 1943 sale. 但更有趣的是,创始人, 政府, and faculty of the Ross Business college are directly related to the history of not only pp电子极速糖果, 而是大枢纽镇本身. This colorful history is the foundation of the names of our campus buildings and sports facilities which may lead us to rethink what those names represent and whether we should consider renaming them.

批判性思维(CT)在一个人生活的各个方面都是一个赋权的因素, 因为它为个人合理的信仰和行为提供了基础. CT由技能和性格组成. CT性格是一个由态度、智力美德和思维习惯组成的网络. CT dispositions influence the way individuals approach a thinking task and motivate the appropriate application of CT skills. 换句话说,CT倾向的特点是愿意批判性地思考. 尽管CT倾向的因素被描述为与人格特征相似, very little research has looked at the relationship between factors of CT disposition and personality. 求实, 构成CT处置的七个因素之一, 被描述为求知欲强, 勇敢地提出问题, 诚实地寻找证据. Unfortunately, several studies have shown students are generally not inclined toward truth-seeking. The present study examines the prevalence of a concern for truth and its relationship with the big five factors of personality in students at pp电子极速糖果. 宗教和政治意识形态, 研究领域, 班级排名, 其他人口统计信息也被考虑在内.

This presentation will display the data collected from the Point in Time count conducted in January, 2020, 为梅萨县无家可归的人服务. This data reflects sheltered as well as unsheltered individuals and is further broken down by age, 比赛, 性别, 长度, 以及个人无家可归的频率. This homeless count is crucial for the accurate representation of the homeless population in Mesa County. The count helps establish the amount of funding allocated to homeless resources that are made available in the community. 从梅萨县收集的数据随后被添加到国家报告中, 哪一个更能代表全国无家可归者的情况. It is essential for the community to be aware of the implications of local homelessness because the lack of sufficient funding would hinder the quality of life within the community and put significant strain on current public safety capital. 资源 for the homeless are available in the community and heavily depend on surveys such as these for future funding.

重新融入/过渡回社会

推荐人:Jordan Ausman

对于有前科的人来说,重新融入社会并不是一个容易的过程. Communities do not always prepare ex-offenders for the hardships that are to come with their newfound freedom. 通过帮助罪犯在监狱中做好准备的重返社会项目, 帮助犯人出狱后立即获得资源的项目, 以及提供长期支持的项目, ex-offenders would have a better chance at succeeding in life and lower the recidivism rate. There are many factors that influence the success of an ex-offender’s journey when integrating back into society. 对大多数人来说被认为是日常生活中的行为,对前罪犯来说可能是陌生的. 并不是每个罪犯都知道监狱为重新融入社会提供的资源. 然而, 如果社会在这个过程中有所帮助,而不是视而不见, the ex-offenders could have more of an opportunity to flourish in becoming a citizen of the community without the extra stress. This presentation will address the reintegration concerns from both the inmate and non-offender perspectives.
