Title: Lowering Blood Pressure among American Women.
Abstract/Description: Annette Sheets presents her Capstone project, which focused on raising awareness of the prevalence of hypertension in women in the United States, the efficacy of home blood pressure monitoring, and reviewing evidence-based initiatives already in place to address the issue of hypertension. She addresses the unique risk factors faced by women and reviews literature related to blood pressure monitoring, then discusses her work determining whether home monitoring of blood pressure or intermittent blood pressure checks in a doctor's office are more likely to affect blood pressure levels after three months. She closes with recommendations on how to decrease the risks of hypertension.

Title: Psychopaths and Religion: The Amalgamation and Sanitation Through Cultural Media.
Abstract/Description: The focus of this academic research paper will be on the representation of cannibal murderers and psychopaths through different forms of cultural media and cinematic media. It will focus on how through cinema and media, the narrative of crime has dehumanized the psychopath's human actions and the reasoning, or logic, behind their actions; how it has created a modern day mythological monster that has no “real” human connections so we can move on as a society without looking at our own basic human nature. It will include the religious undertones from the beginning of time until now, how through literature and society we've criminalized the psychiatric disorder in order to control, purify, and discipline “criminal human conditions” through asylums and understand them through philosophy, and how the media as well as cinema has sanitized us of our connections to them. It will also cover how we as a society have isolated “them” from us and created a modern day “boogeyman.” The paper will also touch a bit on how as a society this form of media consumption has dehumanized and desensitized our own reasoning when confronted with the modern day “Boogeyman.”

Title: Gay Serial Killers: How Sociology and Psychology Created a Phenomenon that Changed the Profile We Understood.
Abstract/Description: Ashley Torres examines the flaws of examining homosexual serial killers in only scientific terms, and discusses how the individuals could have been stopped earlier using cultural knowledge, a historical perspective, and common policing knowledge about victim selection. She takes three known paraphilias - cannibalism, necrophilia, and sadomasochism - and looks at their historical significance in regards to Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Aileen Wuornos, and Wayne Williams.

Title: Effects of Non-Fire Human Disturbance on Floristics and Soils in a Southern Slash Pine Forest.
Abstract/Description: We will be performing a correlational study on how non-fire disturbance impacts soils and plants in a southern slash pine forest. Our class started by running transects through three areas at Florida State College at Jacksonville Cecil North campus. Section A has been partially disturbed by human intervention, Section B has been completely disturbed in the same manner, and Section C has not been disturbed. The pH of the soil, soil moisture, and organic content of the soil will be measured as well as the density of different plant species in the middle of each section. Our initial findings are that Sections A and C have more understory plants than Section B. As a result of the increased understory plants, we predict the soil moisture and organic content will be higher in Sections A and C than Section B, whereas pH will be higher in Section B than in Section A and C., We will be performing a correlational study on how non-fire disturbance impacts soils and plants in a southern slash pine forest.

Title: A Statistical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Genetically Modified Organisms to Control.
Abstract/Description: Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are a topic of great controversy in modern society. The focus of the polemical debate normally centers upon human consumption of GMOs, but there are many uses and areas of study that are currently being explored by scientists around the world. Florida has recently been pushed into the center of this debate. Officials are planning to introduce genetically modified mosquitoes into the Florida Keys with the ultimate goal of targeting a specific species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti. A. aegypti is a vector for tropical diseases such as Dengue fever, which have been making their way into the Keys as a result of global climate change. This research aims to address both the effectiveness compared to conventional methods and potential population reduction of A. aegypti from the use of GMOs with the use of statistical analysis. The effectiveness compared to conventional methods will use a paired T-test to determine if a measurable, statistically significant difference exists between GMOs and pesticides. The data for the T-test is gathered from past uses of both methods of population reduction. The expected potential population reduction will also be created using a modified predator-prey model to simulate the introduction of the modified mosquitoes. The predator-prey model will be used to show potential outcomes of the introduction of the modified organisms based on previous data and statistical inference.

Title: The Renewed Search for an Ancient Fort.
Abstract/Description: Eric Mongar posits that culturally, historically, and environmentally Florida is more Latin than American, and explores an argument that Fort Caroline - generally believed to have been located in Jacksonville along the St. Johns River - may have actually been in Georgia as a lens to examine the influence the Spanish had on the state. Starting with the Fort's original founding by the French, Mongar follows the evidence of its development through the work of Senator Charles Bennett in the 20th century to preserve the area.

Title: Food Gentrification.
Abstract/Description: Gentrification, while beneficial to some, can damage the lives of both lower income people and ethnic minorities. This paper aims to discuss the failures of the organic food movement, the use of health food as a status symbol, and the damage that is done by a “reimagining” of indigenous or traditional foods. It focuses on gentrification and food and examines USDA prices over the years, income levels, and the effect of chains like Whole Foods and pricey comfort food restaurants like Harlem’s Red Rooster, in an attempt to reveal the tendency toward tone-deafness in the organic food industry. It also aims to bring to light more effective ways to both honor the many cultures in America, and facilitate better and more affordable food for all.

Title: Standardized Testing in Education.
Abstract/Description: This paper offers insight pertaining to the effects, both the positives and negatives, of standardized testing in education. Following the recent reform in education, through programs such as America’s Choice and Common Core, the emphasis on standardized testing has shown a devaluation in the higher level students and an emphasis on both lower and mid-level students. This paper also presents information that shows why standardized testing is negatively impacting public education, instead of elevating it. As the deflation in performance increases, the moral amongst teachers and students sharply decreases, so does their mental health. Along with the national perspective in education, this paper compares how many foreign nations have approached, and succeeded in their education systems. This paper is comprised of information, statistics and professional insight on the effects of standardized testing; gathered from a wide variety of peer-reviewed and government sources.

Title: The Fundamental description of energy.
Abstract/Description: Energy is seen everywhere, and is described scientifically as “the ability to do work”. This definition works well for most, if not all, cases concerning energy and its interaction with everyday lives. Energy is commonly measured as Joules or the Newton Meter, although simple and reasonable I think there is a misconception to the fundamental idea and measurement of energy. One may ask “If Joules is not energy, then what is a Joule and what really is energy?” I describe energy the same as before, the ability to do work, however the measurement of energy is different, and the Joules measurement is similar if not the same, in most if not all cases, where a Joule is taking a bit longer path to arrive to the same destination, while Momentum is the direct path to the same destination. One may wonder, how did I come this conclusion, while in Physics class one day, I was learning about energy and how it is measured, I also learned that when an object’s velocity is doubled its overall energy is quadrupled, this puzzled me as to how this could be, if something doubles and more than double is returned, where did the excess come from, and how could this be proven or even corrected to my view?
