I am reviewing the current literature on virus detection methods. Fast and reliable virus detection is critical during a virus outbreak. There are now portable rapid real-time PCR devices that accurately identify viruses in as little as 20 min. There is a lateral flow immunoassay for detecting antibodies that is currently being developed that the researchers claim has the accuracy comparable to PCR. Chemiluminescence immunoassays have also been developed that identify and quantify specific antibodies with high accuracy. Devices to detect SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses are being developed to be faster, more sensitive, more accurate, and can be customized to identify new viruses and antibodies.

This was a community project developed with The Transitional Age Youth Program of Humboldt county, which serves youth 16-26 that our houseless and/or have been in the foster care system. This program has an emphasis on working with youth that identify as LGBTQIA2S+. Our community project sought to bridge the gap that queer youth can experience when accessing gender affirming healthcare in rural areas.

Through the collaboration between Humboldt State and the university HEP in Switzerland, we developed lesson study practices for English Language Learners at l'Élysée, a Swiss high school. Specifically, our main areas of interest involved assessing student engagement and learning. Our lesson was taught four times, and after each lesson, it was adapted to better match the needs of our students.

We would like to discuss the benefits of service learning with adolescent children. We will discuss various aspects of working with middle school children. We will cover the after school program's purpose and their goals. Following we will mention our experiences and challenges that we encountered. Lastly we will end with a question to all HSU students, why one should consider service learning and what benefits do they see in the opportunities.

In this fictional study, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is explained, and different recovery methods are investigated in order to research the decreasing effects of DOMS. Methods that are explored include different types of cool down recoveries such as a cool down with static stretching, a cool down with a combination of static stretching and foam rolling (a type of massage), or no cooldown performed at all. This study demonstrates how a combination of static stretching and foam rolling could be major factors in decreasing the effects of DOMS and perceived effects of DOMS. This presentation is in regards to the KINS 379 class assignment.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common mental health condition affecting birthing persons and is more prevalent in rural communities with limited behavioral health services. This quality improvement project uses the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to reduce the impact of PPD in rural public health communities. Interventions include integrating social support into treatment plans, expanding home visiting programs, and implementing universal screening. Evaluation measures include increased service engagement and overall symptom reduction. Target goals include a ≥20% decrease in depressive symptoms and a ≥25% increase in screenings among Medicaid-insured individuals.

Using applied anthropology to create sustainable models for real estate values, and hopefully prevent another great recession. The next phase is to determine the cultural implications of these models and to see how our cultural will react when their homes loses value on paper but are worth the same in terms of wages disposable income ratio.

Self-talk is the inner dialogue we use to talk to ourselves. My research project addresses the significance that self-talk has on you both mentally and physically. I emphasize that we should be mindful of how we talk to ourselves because we are always doing it. I also explain the importance of positive self-talk and how to do it. My goal is that this research project motivates individuals to use self-talk in ways that let them live happier and more positive lives.

Aviary is a short film, made during the fall of 2020, in a film three production class. The story is about a woman dealing with agoraphobia (the fear of leaving one’s house), who must conquer her anxieties when her grocery delivery is placed too far from her comfort zone of reach.
