Disney Princess movies are beloved by many, and, on the surface of the most recent renditions of the trope, the lead female characters portray many pro-feminist messages. However, there is a discrepancy between the surface meanings and the implied meanings of the movies. Hidden beneath these pro-feminist surface meanings, the implied meanings present a vastly different message - one contrary to the beliefs of feminism. Through this discrepancy between the surface and implied meanings of Disney Princess movies, this poster aims to illustrate the anti-feminist rhetoric of Disney Princess movies.

Critical care nurses specialize in caring for human responses to life-threatening problems. Nursing confidence in codes has shown direct correlation in improved patient outcomes, reduced time to compressions and adherence to American Heart Association guidelines. Currently, in a high-acuity critical care unit in Northern California, mock code scenarios and simulations are not a common practice. A quality improvement program is being developed to improve resuscitation efforts on this unit. It will include a self-assessment, mock codes and emergency scenario days. The goal is to increase nursing and staff confidence in resuscitation efforts, as well as improve team performance.

This project explores previous English 103 coursework on my discourse community, wildland firefighting, and the atmosphere of the career. It provides a sense of guidance and introduction to the discipline.

Surgical smoke, a byproduct of surgical procedures, poses significant health risks to healthcare workers and patients. However, surgical staff often overlook it as a biohazard in operating rooms. This project highlights the harmful toxins of surgical smoke, including exposure to carcinogens and infectious agents, and the need for policy change to mandate local smoke evacuation. Effective policies and guidelines for smoke evacuation modeled from evidence-based research, combined with adequate education, awareness, and training, can minimize the risks of surgical smoke in the operating room and empower nurse leaders to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients.

This project is a behavioral study on 4 gull species of Humboldt County. Their agonistic behavior was studied, comparing the frequency of agonistic behavior toward members of other species based on relative body-size. This value was compared with the number of birds of each relative size they had access to. I found that most gulls tended to target members of their own species disproportionately, but Western gulls disproportionately targeted members of other species that were larger and smaller in size. This may have implications on gull behavior and management.

From the primitively-brewed ‘steam beer’ of 19th century Eureka taverns, to the nano-brewed Hazy DIPA in a Crescent City warehouse today -- brewing culture remains a key social element and economic driver in Northern California's Redwood Coast. The Redwood Coast Beer Trail is an experiential destination marketing campaign that applies the principles of gastrotourism to advertise the robust craft brewery scene of Humboldt and Del Norte counties as distinct tourism assets. The Redwood Coast Beer Trail poster is a self-guided, self-paced wayfinding aide that empowers local and non-local visitors to experience the unique oddities and attributes of the region’s craft beer and cider producers.

Myofascial manipulation techniques have gained prominence in pain management due to their ability to address musculoskeletal issues, alleviate pain, and improve overall function. This review encompasses various manual therapy approaches such as trigger point release therapy, and self-myofascial release. These techniques target main symptoms of fascial restrictions, muscle tightness, and trigger points. The aim of these techniques can improve blood flow and as a result restore pain perception in the tissue. Integrating myofascial manipulation techniques with regular exercise therapy and stretching protocols interventions provides a comprehensive approach to pain management.

Climatic changes affect the intensity and frequency of forest disturbances (e.g. fire, droughts, and insect outbreaks). During the summer of 2016, we used an experimental forest at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) to observe spider responses to a simulated insect outbreak. We collected spiders from plots with different disturbance severities via pitfall traps and identified them to the lowest taxonomic level possible in order to compare Shannon-Weiner diversity indices. Our hypothesis that spider diversity would be lower in more disturbed plots was supported. Leaf area index, potential prey abundances, and down woody debris were also found to affect spider assemblages.

Food Justice offers a reactionary approach to empower a person and communities’ rights to fresh and healthy affordable food. The Potawot Community Garden not only embraces this approach, but goes further through decolonial practices. In addition, the process of growing an cultivating one’s own food is shown to help heal certain varieties of trauma. Potawot offers its community a unique opportunity by providing fresh, local, and organic produce to local tribes in the greater Humboldt area. Furthermore, Potawot displays a primary example of promoting food justice by promoting justice for indigenous and native peoples by providing access to education and growing one's own food.

I will be describing research done by the Native Medicinal Plant Research Program relating to ethnobotany. The research includes: their botany database, plants collected, Physalis research, osha, at risk plants, asclepius, and echinacea. The core values of this research are Conservation and sustainable harvest of medicinal plants , Respect for Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants , and Education toward ecological responsibility,
