这项研究的目的是确定死者的身体质量指数(BMI)与人体分解的潮湿阶段之间是否存在相关性. 先前的研究表明,身体质量指数与人体分解的完整轨迹之间没有显著的相关性, but no research evaluates whether BMI effects specific stages of decomposition. Twenty-two male cadavers and seventeen female cadavers ranging in BMI from 14.4 to 49.5、被使用. 这些在2014年1月至2018年8月期间捐赠给了法医调查研究站(FIRS). FIRS将湿分解定义为组织的干燥,同时保持显著的水分. The total body score (TBS) method scores the head and neck, 主干, 将四肢作为三个独立的解剖区域并结合这些分数给出每个分解阶段的值. 尸体总分20-22分作为湿分解遗骸的标准评分范围. Temperature was normalized using accumulated degree-days, 使用摄氏温度计算,阈值为零,然后绘制与BMI的关系. 双尾t检验(t=2).125), p=0显著.02, 表明BMI对人体分解的湿分解阶段有统计学意义.

下载神秘体验:识别与神秘体验相关的变量

Mystical experiences have existed alongside many philosophies throughout history. 这些经验的特点是统一的(内部和外部)。, 超越时间和空间, 智力的质量, 神圣, 积极情绪, 和不言而喻/ paradoxicality. Such experiences have been synonymous with feelings of awe, 正念, 爱, 以及其他高峰体验. The benefits of mystical experiences have been speculated for some time, though the interest in the long-term effects of mystical experiences has been renewed. 先前的研究表明,神秘体验的结果包括增加主观幸福感和减少我们对抗他们的心态. 目前的研究调查了神秘经历的流行程度,以及神秘经历与包括个性在内的一系列变量之间的关系, 精神/笃信, 道德基础. Findings from this study will provide the foundation for future experimental work.

THE COLORFUL HISTORY OF ROSS BUSINESS COLLEGE

推荐人:蒙大拿·摩尔

教师赞助人:Sarah Swedberg

在汤姆林森图书馆的特别收藏中发现的一张支票的历史揭示了pp电子极速糖果和罗斯商学院之间的历史联系. Ross Business College was founded in 1905 and moved to Grand Junction in 1907. 罗斯商学院(Ross Business College)宣传自己是一个培养职场必备商业技能的地方. World War II left the Ross Business College without men to fill their classes, so they accepted a proposal from Mesa College to purchase Ross and its inventory. 一份带有序列号的存货清单证实,不仅是支票的签发者,还有汤姆林森特别收藏中的其他物品,实际上都是在1943年的拍卖中从罗斯转移到梅萨的. But even more intriguing was the fact that the founders, 政府, 罗斯商学院的教职员工不仅与pp电子极速糖果的历史直接相关, 而是大枢纽镇本身. 这段丰富多彩的历史是我们的校园建筑和体育设施的名字的基础,这可能会导致我们重新思考这些名字代表什么,我们是否应该考虑重新命名它们.

CRITICAL THINKING AND PERSONALITY: INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN A CONCERN FOR TRUTH

主讲人:Elias Acevedo

教师赞助人:切尔西·赫斯

播放视频

Critical Thinking (CT) is an empowering factor in all facets of one’s life, given it provides the basis for what is reasonable for an individual to believe and do. CT consists of skills and dispositions. CT dispositions are a network of attitudes, intellectual virtues, and habits of mind. CT倾向影响个人处理思维任务的方式,并激励CT技能的适当应用. In other words, CT dispositions characterize the willingness to think critically. Although factors of CT disposition are described in similar terms to personality traits, 很少有研究关注CT倾向和人格因素之间的关系. 求实, one of seven factors that comprise CT disposition, is described as eagerly seeking knowledge, 勇敢地提出问题, 诚实地寻找证据. 不幸的是,一些研究表明,学生通常不倾向于寻求真理. 本研究考察了pp电子极速糖果学生关注真相的普遍程度及其与人格五大因素的关系. 宗教和政治意识形态, 研究领域, 班级排名, and other demographic information are also considered.

本演示将显示从1月份进行的时间点统计中收集的数据, 2020, for Mesa County’s homeless population. 这些数据反映了受庇护和未受庇护的个人,并进一步按年龄分列, 比赛, 性别, 长度, and frequency of the individual’s homelessness. 这个无家可归者的统计对于梅萨县无家可归者的准确代表至关重要. 统计有助于确定分配给社区提供的无家可归者资源的资金数额. The data collected from Mesa County were then added to the national report, which allows for a more representative picture of the homeless population for the nation. 社区必须意识到当地无家可归者的影响,因为缺乏足够的资金将影响社区内的生活质量,并对当前的公共安全资本造成重大压力. 为无家可归者提供的资源在社区中是可用的,并且在很大程度上依赖于诸如此类的调查来获得未来的资金.

核能的道德案例

在现代环境运动中,很少有问题像核能那样两极分化. 有些人认为我们不应该投资核能,因为它有危险的历史. I will seek to address some of these concerns as well as explore the social, 经济, and environmental benefits nuclear energy can provide, if we choose to look past an intimidating facade and see the wonder within.

REINTEGRATING/TRANSITIONING BACK INTO SOCIETY

推荐人:Jordan Ausman

Faculty sponsor(s): Michael Delaney

Reintegrating back into society for ex-offenders is not an easy process. 社区并不总是让刑满释放的人做好准备,让他们面对新获得的自由所带来的困难. Through reentry programs that help prepare offenders while in prison, programs that help with immediate resources after being released from prison, and programs that offer long term support, 前罪犯将有更好的机会在生活中取得成功,并降低再犯率. 当一个前罪犯重新融入社会时,有很多因素影响着他的成功之路. What is considered daily life behavior for most, can be foreign to ex-offenders. Not every offender knows of the resources that the prisons provide for reintegration. 然而, if society helped with the process rather than turning a blind eye, 前罪犯可以有更多的机会在没有额外压力的情况下成为社会公民. 本演讲将从囚犯和非罪犯的角度讨论重新融入社会的问题.
