Founding Females: Using U.S. Success to Inform Korean Discourse in Empowering Women in Entrepreneurship

As per many international organizations like the IMF and OEC, the United States and Korea boast some of the freest economies and democratic societies of any other nations. Further, both countries excel greatly in their total number of people in entrepreneurship. However, in terms of the number of women in entrepreneurship, Korea seriously lags behind the U.S. on almost every major entrepreneurial index. What areas make the U.S. a better place for women in entrepreneurship to thrive and how can Korea implement these to better it's standings? This is the main question this paper seeks to answer. First, I will provide understanding of the importance of women in entrepreneurship and detail entrepreneurial ecosystems in Korea and the U.S. Then, I will review existing literature to provide current explanations for Korea’s low women in entrepreneurship rankings and define research questions about missing indicators. Next, I will research what indicators on reputable entrepreneurial indexes are most successful in the U.S. and least successful in Korea as well as researching educational retention and enrollment in each country through global databases. Finally, I will discuss findings and present three recommendations for Korean discourse based on U.S. areas of excellence for supporting women in entrepreneurship.Plan II Honors Progra

305— Effects of Anthropogenic Noise on Frog Breeding Populations in Geneseo

With both amphibians and their wetland habitats in decline, it is critical to understand what ponds in the local landscape are used as breeding sites. Male frogs advertise for mates in the spring and summer by producing species-specific vocalizations at potential breeding sites. We are using acoustic recordings to examine three local sites for their use for breeding by frogs. Acoustic recordings collected during May 2020 will be analyzed to determine species abundance based on the temporal patterns of activity. By analyzing how the soundscapes and holistic metric of the habitats differ between sites can we understand the frogs\u27 habits. Using Raven Lite we can analyze call frequency to monitor breeding habits of Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer), Northern Gray Treefrog (Dryophytes versicolor), Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), Wood Frog (Lithobates sylvaticus), and Green Frog (Hylarana erythraea). This research will expand our knowledge about how New York State species use roadside habitat and the behavioral adjustments they have to make to survive there

The position of graptolites within Lower Palaeozoic planktic ecosystems.

An integrated approach has been used to assess the palaeoecology of graptolites both as a discrete group and also as a part of the biota present within Ordovician and Silurian planktic realms. Study of the functional morphology of graptolites and comparisons with recent ecological analogues demonstrates that graptolites most probably filled a variety of niches as primary consumers, with modes of life related to the colony morphotype. Graptolite coloniality was extremely ordered, lacking any close morphological analogues in Recent faunas. To obtain maximum functional efficiency, graptolites would have needed varying degrees of coordinated automobility. A change in lifestyle related to ontogenetic changes was prevalent within many graptolite groups. Differing lifestyle was reflected by differing reproductive strategies, with synrhabdosomes most likely being a method for rapid asexual reproduction. Direct evidence in the form of graptolithophage 'coprolitic' bodies, as well as indirect evidence in the form of probable defensive adaptations, indicate that graptolites comprised a food item for a variety of predators. Graptolites were also hosts to a variety of parasitic organisms and provided an important nutrient source for scavenging organisms

Effect of Preoperative Skin Cleansing on Instances of Surgical Site Infections

Background • On a single square centimeter of skin, there can be as many as 10 million aerobic bacteria • Bacteria on a patient’s skin is the leading cause of infection related to surgery • 17% of all hospital acquired infections come from surgical site infections • Surgical site infections cost about $3,000$29,000 per patienthttps://knowledgeconnection.mainehealth.org/nurseresidency/1009/thumbnail.jp
