    <p><strong>Examining the Cognitive and Pyschosocial Profiles of GD1 Versus GBA-PD Patients</strong></p>
    <p><a href="https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/14245128/87848202" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Please click here to see Nishka's virtual URCAD presentation</a><strong><br></strong></p>
    <p>While there are currently available research studies that focus on 
    the cognitive features seen in Gaucher disease Type 1 (GD1) and <em>GBA</em> -associated Parkinson’s disease (<em>GBA</em>-PD),
     research analyzing the lived illness experiences of both diseases is 
    limited (Hammarlund et al. 2018; Packman et al. 2010). Serving as an 
    extension to my INDS degree concentration in Illness Narratology, my 
    capstone project aims to create a clinical profile of GD1 and <em>GBA</em>-PD individuals using statistical analysis and patient interviews.</p>
    <p>As advanced medical and scientific therapies become more apparent 
    among hospitals and clinics, many physicians are now advocating for an 
    integrative approach to practicing medicine (Gannotta et al. 2018). With
     this increasing need for healthcare providers to treat the patient 
    rather than solely the disease (Zazulak 2016), my capstone intends to 
    call attention to the importance of integrating a holistic approach when
     analyzing the clinical presentations of genetic and neurodegenerative 
    disorders.</p>
    <p>Mentors: Grisel Lopez, National Institutes of Health; David Eisenmann, Department of Biological Sciences, UMBC</p>

    <p>According to Ecuador’s most recent census, 1/5 of pregnancies are 
    from adolescent mothers — elevating rates of poverty, maternal and child
     mortality, and birth complications. Hence, our research question: how 
    do social determinants of health (SDOH) cause adolescent pregnancy in 
    rural Ecuador?
    </p>
    <p>Our research team analyzed 3 focus groups composed of 5-7 adolescent 
    (14-21 years old) mothers who had recently (within two years) given 
    birth in El Quinche, Lumbisi, and Pifo. In depth interviews with 10 key 
    informants (health officials, providers, and policy-makers) were also 
    organized to explore perceptions regarding interventions and causes of 
    adolescent pregnancy. Our team interviewed until reaching saturation of 
    information, validating collected data through triangulation. We applied
     grounded theory for analysis via open, axial, and selective coding 
    using NVivo software. </p>
    <p>Our data revealed that the root SDOH causing adolescent pregnancy 
    includes compromised sexual education, shame in discussing the topic, 
    and troubled households. Therefore, we recommend that Ecuador focus on 
    improving the quality of sexual education in schools, creating a 
    positive sexual environment, and encouraging female empowerment. 
    Ultimately, gaining a better understanding of the causes of adolescent 
    pregnancy can inform the formulation of more effective interventions in 
    Ecuador and beyond.</p>

<Tagline>Organic Panic! An Interactive Role Playing Game Case Study.</Tagline>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>Organic Panic! is an interactive role-playing game that simulates the 
    documentary film Cafeteria Man, a documentary produced by UMBC alumnus 
    Richard Chisolm, Class of 1982. The film follows Tony Geraci, former 
    Baltimore City Public Schools Director of Food and Nutrition, in his 
    quest to provide nutritious food to 83,000 school children by building a
     central kitchen for Baltimore kids. This story has been translated into
     a role-playing game by Honors College students, first played in 2014, 
    and revised by Honors students every year since. INDS student Andrew Beck, who once
     was an actor in the game, will summarize his analysis of the 2017 and 
    2019 versions of the game along with brief clips from each version, will
     assess the game mechanics through frameworks by game experts McGonigal 
    and Osterweil, and suggest revisions to the 2020 version.</div>
