UMBC researchers publish book on Cybersecurity & Local Government
Local governments are particularly enticing soft targets, often lacking resources to defend themselves against routine cyberattacks.

UMBC researchers publish book on
Cybersecurity and Local Government

UMBC researchers Donald Norris, Laura Mateczun, and Richard Forno have published a new book on the the risks of cyberattacks that local governments face and how they are addressing them. Their book Cybersecurity and Local Government published by WIley summarizes several years of research and surveys on the issues and practices of city, county, and state governments.

Some of this is summarised in a recent article by Forno in The Conversation, Local governments are attractive targets for hackers and are ill-prepared.

Donald Norris is Professor Emeritus and former chair of UMBC’s School of Public Policy, Laura Mateczun, JD, is a PhD student in Public Policy, and Richard Forno is a Principal Lecturer and director of UMBC’s Graduate Cybersecurity Program and Assistant Director of UMBC’s Center for Cybersecurity.

Examining Filipino-American Mental Health Attitudes, Needs, and Barriers to Help-Seeking
Presenter: Elyssa Kristine Marie Granados Lou
Mentor: Anne Brodsky (Psychology)

Abstract:
Although an estimated 12 percent of Filipinos living in the U.S. suffer from psychological distress, Filipinos have the lowest reported  rates of help-seeking behaviors among all Asian Americans (Martinez et al., 2010; Gong et al., 2003) This research assesses attitudes toward and need for mental health services among the Filipino community living in the U.S., as well as identifies the barriers to help-seeking behaviors that contribute to mental health disparities. Open-ended interviews, averaging one hour in duration, were conducted on Zoom with ten first-generation Filipinos living in the U.S., ranging in age from 22 to 57 years old. Five participants were men and the other five were women. The interviews were transcribed with the aid of a transcription service, removing identifying information, and were analyzed using a coding framework based on key themes identified from previous literature and during the interview process. Comparisons among interview response themes especially focused on the influence of age, gender, and age at immigration on attitudes toward mental health. Interpretations from this research may inform future community interventions to increase mental health service utilization among the Filipino community and support the mental health needs of future generations of Filipino immigrants.

Where cowards like myself faltered when the call of duty beckoned, Daniel rose to the occasion and rescued the cause from certain doom, from the floors of history's abattoir. Great parts of himself were lost in that battle, but not the ability to turn his hat backwards and offer you some fruit. Thanks for all your hard work Daniel. We love you and your sacrifices will not be forgotten.

Mathematical Model of Cell Migration: Cell Boundaries and Force Balances
Presenter: Christina Dee
Mentors: Bradford Percy (Mathematics and Statistics), Michelle Starz-Gaiano (Biology)

Abstract:
This research centers on simulation of a cluster of migratory cells among nurse cells toward the oocyte in the egg chamber of Drosophila melanogaster in MATLAB. Cell migration is movement of cells responding to chemical gradients acting as signals. It is integral to daily functions like development and healing; also, progress in studies can lead to findings in cancer metastasis. This organism has a well-studied history and many human homologs in genetics. We asked: How to model cell migration through force balances, and what changes to parameters, equations, and geometry are needed? We captured heterogeneous cells of the egg chamber: including nurse, epithelial, and migratory border cells using interactions between cell membranes and arising via forces, including adhesive, repulsive, and spring forces. We used a volume force to include heterogeneously and realistically sized cells. When cells filled the chamber, we enacted the migratory force, which stems from a chemical gradient signaling, allowing border cells to climb through nurse cells. We solved the force balance equation with Euler's step to capture progression in time. In MATLAB, we coded cell boundaries around cell centers to represent membranes while adapting parameters, equations, and coefficients in order to realistically simulate cell migration.
