Carlota Abril Davila & María García Rodríguez - “Spanish Freshmen Mental Health” (session 2) This project in Claire Schmidt’s class deals with the mental health of freshman students in Spain. We focused on conducting interviews with different students on campus, specifically from Spain. Thanks to the information we collected, we were able to conduct a simple study that shows how the mental health of these students evolves over the years. I conducted research using websites, primarily Credo to find images and information to persuade my readers to visit Vermont. Using the MLA format, I cited all sources including images that were used in the brochure.

Royce Adeniken & Micah Mumford - “SpAr Debate” (session 13) This presentation of debate will examine the debate format of Spontaneous Argumentation (SpAr). SpAr debate is a limited preparation style of debating that provides a short amount of time to prepare on a topic both debaters have not seen before. The two participants will receive three different topics. The negative will strike one topic and then the affirmative will select the final topic between the two topics that remain. The two debaters will have 10 minutes of prep and will have approximately a 15 minute debate. The topic of this debate will explore relevant topics of interest pertaining to athletics.

Tomas Ayapé - see Gagandip Singh, “Kenya: The New Wave of Marathon Runners” Bailey Azarovitz - “Group B Strep Disease” (poster session 2) Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a disease that is a type of bacterial infection affecting mostly pregnant women, newborns, or women with other health issues. This is a type of streptococcus bacterial disease mostly found in the gastrointestinal or genital tracts. In newborns, it can cause pneumonia or meningitis which is often found throughout childbirth or from mothers who could possibly be carrying it. Women have urinary tract infections (UTI) that could be a result of streptococcus during pregnancy, or postpartum infections. In adults, it mostly affects the individuals who deal with chronic illness such as cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. Some prevention that could be considered could be screenings for pregnant women to see if their babies are in any danger or intrapartum antibiotics. Understanding all of this can help the management of helping someone with Group B streptococcus and be a crucial impact for many women, and their babies. Ona Bartolome-Areny - “To What Extent Does the Current Extreme-Right in Europe Have Direct Impacts on the Liberal Democracies of Italy, Germany, and Spain?” (session 10) This project examines the resurgence of far-right parties in Europe, particularly in Italy, Germany, and Spain—countries with histories of dictatorship under Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco. The investigation centers on the impact of parties like Italy’s Northern League, Germany’s Alternative for Germany, and Spain’s Vox on European liberal democracies, addressing the question: “To what extent does the European far-right influence liberal democracies in these countries?” The findings highlight two primary factors in this resurgence: generational shifts and ongoing crises. Young people who lack direct experience with past far-right dictatorships may be unaware of the dangers, while current challenges related to immigration, economics, and politics have eroded public confidence in mainstream governments. This dissatisfaction creates a space for far-right groups to step in, offering simplified solutions to complex issues, thereby drawing substantial support. Indra Bernal - “Urinary Tract Infections” (session 3) Urinary tract infections (UTI’s) are infections in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. UTI’s are typically caused by the bacterium, Escherichia coli. This bacteria is the most prevalent pathogen, although viruses or fungi can also be at fault. UTI’s can fall into two categories: upper (kidneys) or lower (ureters). Symptoms often include a strong burning sensation when urinating, murky or pungent urine and pelvic pain, particularly in situations of bladder infections. Although UTI’s can affect people of any age or gender, they are more common in women due to anatomical considerations. Usually, a urine culture or urinalysis is used to make the diagnosis, and antibiotics are used as treatment. Proper hydration, personal hygiene, and the use of proactive antibiotics or other treatments are examples of prevention techniques.
