Undergraduates In The News
Payment technologies are increasingly being assembled as a form of social media (Acker and Murthy, 2019; Maurer 2016; Swartz, 2013). This study investigates the social uses and the social shaping of emerging money technologies by analyzing tweets about the person-to-person mobile payment platform Venmo (Zelizer, 1994; MacKenzie & Wajcman, 1999).
Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) accounts for 15-20% of all lung cancer cases and is the most lethal form of lung cancer due to lack of effective treatments. One cause of differential and ineffectual responses to therapy is variations between cells that make up a tumor, or intra-tumor heterogeneity.
Online platforms like social media or “smart” appliances capture intimate aspects of our daily lives. This captured consumer data is now one of the most coveted resources of the 21st century. As personal data is increasingly caught between corporations and governments, consumers are inadvertently finding themselves vulnerable to regulations that restrict the movement of consumer data.
In recent years, concern for the decline in bee populations has increased. With potentially tremendous negative impacts on our ecosystem, the decline in bee population is of legitimate concern, not simply some trendy social media hashtag. The mason bees (genus Osmia) are a prevalent group of cavity-nesting bees in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
Transforming Community Spaces, or TCS, is a project intended to provide guidance to communities and institutions in finding ways to understand the histories associated with contested spaces and how they can reconcile those histories with the current use of the space. Case studies on specific communities compose one aspect of the project.
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma, yet little research has been done in the pre-hospital first aid environment to evaluate the best methods for first aid bleeding control. The most common technique and first line therapy for bleeding control in the first aid setting is the use of direct pressure, with which slows bleeding and promotes clotting.
