Marriott Airlines: Redefining Travel & Hospitality

The Marriott Airlines: Redefining Travel & Hospitality project explored the integration of Marriott International into the airline industry to enhance the travel experience and expand its global brand presence. The concept envisioned three distinct airline tiers: Ritz-Carlton Airlines for luxury travelers, Edition Airlines for business professionals, and Aloft Airlines for budget-conscious travelers. Each airline would be seamlessly connected to the Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem, allowing for streamlined bookings, personalized services, and loyalty program benefits. The project examined potential economic impacts, such as job creation within the travel sector, and analyzed operational feasibility, including branding, partnerships, and customer experience design. The findings demonstrated that Marriott\u27s extensive hospitality expertise positions it as a potential leader in revolutionizing air travel. This project aimed to highlight how a hospitality-driven airline could redefine service excellence and create value for guests across diverse travel segments

Feeding the Incarcerated

The project is a basic outline of how the mental health of prisoners and the nutritional value of prison food is impacted by budget constraints. Nutritional value and quality of the food provided to incarcerated individuals impacts them physically and mentally. Research shows that budget constraints impact the quality and nutritional value of the food. This project focused on necessary improvements to the food quality while keeping the budget low and cost-effective. The outcome of this project is to make a difference with the nutrition and budget of the food being supplied for incarcerated individuals

The Genetic Role of Necrotizing Fasciitis

This project investigated the possible role of the GAS6 gene (chromosome 13, long arm cytogenetic band 4) regarding increased susceptibility to necrotizing fasciitis, a dangerous soft tissue infection. GAS6 encodes a ligand for TAM receptors known as Mer, Axl, and Tyro3. These regulate the immune system in matters such as inflammatory and immune responses. Issues with immune activation caused by dysfunction of TAM signaling could be a potential cause of tissue damage in necrotizing fasciitis. Overall, the study analyzed the possible genetic predisposition individuals may possess that would make them more vulnerable to acquiring necrotizing fasciitis in particularly sterile environments. Thus, highlighting the need for future research into the effect of genetic risk factors influencing inflammatory pathways and the coinciding results

The Association between Insomnia & Porn Addiction

This study inquired about the potential association between insomnia and porn addiction across various sexual gender identities in Rhode Island Young Adults. Using data from the 2022 Rhode Island Young Adult Survey, 1,022 young adults aged 18-25 who live in Rhode Island—for at least a part of the year, were successfully recruited. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the relationship between insomnia and porn addiction. An interaction term between sex/gender identity (cisgender heterosexual males; cisgender heterosexual females; sexual and gender minorities) and insomnia was added to the model to assess potential moderation. Results from the study show that young adults with insomnia, controlling for all confounders, had 2.51(95% CI: 1.53, 4.35) times the odds of porn addiction compared to those without insomnia. In conclusion, insomnia is associated with porn addiction among young adults, particularly among cisgender heterosexual males. Future research should run studies to determine if treating sleep related disorders, such as insomnia, may impact an individual’s use of pornographic material and potentially hone into potential pornographic reliance

A Restaurant Built for the Community

There is a clear need for community centers and outreach programs in which members of the community can be provided with needed resources. A common problem within these programs is their struggle to be successful financially. This project was conducted as a possible solution to this problem, focusing on questions related to how a restaurant could be designed that serves delicious food and that provides support and aid similar to a community center. Other aspects of this project, such as whether a restaurant could use parts of its profits for activities that help the community through organizing fundraisers, community-based programs like food drives or career guidance, and monetary and essential item donations were explored. Allowing other community agencies to educate patrons about their services while providing meals simultaneously were also considered. Research determined, both from a restaurant business perspective and from the perspective of community-based needs, whether such a restaurant can exist financially and be successful in both roles. Research examined the business models of restaurants as well as community centers and reviewed models of existing culinary establishments that have been successful in supporting the community. The results of the research conducted will be a formatted business plan that will be used to create a hypothetical model of a financially stable restaurant that also provides resources similar to a community center

La Masa De Los Ancestros

La Masa de Los Ancestros is a project that illustrates the narrative of native heirloom corn, masa, Mexican cuisine, culture, and people within the region. The project highlights the ancient gifts passed down from the ancestors and brings light to this process of nixtamalizing corn, the process of cultivation, and the history it has brought to the people of the region and peninsula. It also dives into the culture and expansion of the cuisine from what we know today
