Effects of Food Insecurity on Resilience Among Undergraduate University Students

Food insecurity is a prevalent issue among college students. Stress induced by food insecurity may affect mental resilience. However, no previous reports have addressed this potential relationship. To fill this gap, an anonymous online survey targeting adults 18 years or older was distributed via social media and messaging platforms. The survey included demographic questions and the Brief Resilience Scale. A total of 997 people completed the survey, including 705 females, 246 males, and 46 others. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient in SPSS Version 25.0. The results show that food insecurity was positively correlated with consumption of pre-packaged foods (p\u3c0.01). Negative correlations between food insecurity and consumption of dark, green leafy vegetables (p\u3c0.01) and the ability to recover from stressful events (p\u3c0.01) were also found. This suggests a potential link between food insecurity, the consumption of pre-packaged foods, and decreased mental resilience.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1017/thumbnail.jp

Effects of Food Insecurity on Academic Motivation Amongst Undergraduate University Students

Food insecurity is a prevalent problem for undergraduate students. The stress associated with food insecurity may reduce academic motivation, which may be linked to academic performance. However, no reports exist in the literature assessing this relationship. An anonymous online survey targeting adults 18 years or older was distributed via social media platforms. The survey included demographic questions, the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, and the Academic Motivation Scale. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Correlation in SPSS Version 25.0. A total of 997 participants completed the survey.The results showed significant negative correlations between academic motivation and food insecurity and stress (p\u3c0.01). Caring about attending college and a household running out of food was negatively correlated (p\u3c0.01). Experiencing stress and being unable to eat healthy and nutritious food (p\u3c0.01) were positively correlated. Overall, food insecurity is linked to a negative state of mind, which may reduce academic motivation.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1052/thumbnail.jp

Effects of Food Insecurity on Perceived Stress Among Undergraduate University Students

Food insecurity is a rising issue among college students. The added pressure and worry over food availability impacts students’ mindset and their perception of stress. However, research investigating this relationship is limited. To address this gap, an anonymous online survey was distributed via social media platforms to adults 18 years and older. The survey included demographic questions, the Food Mood Questionnaire, and the Perceived Stress Scale. A total of 997 people completed the survey, including 705 females, 246 males, and 46 others. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient in SPSS Version 25.0. A significant positive correlation was found between food insecurity and perceived stress (p\u3c0.01). Significant negative correlations between the consumption of dark green leafy vegetables and fruit with perceived stress (p\u3c0.01) were also found. This suggests that students experiencing food insecurity may consume less nutritious foods and perceive themselves as more stressed.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2023/1096/thumbnail.jp

Effects of Mediterranean and Western Dietary Patterns on Mental Distress and Perceived Stress

Compared to the Western diet, the Mediterranean diet has many known health benefits. To assess how the dietary components of each diet affect mental wellbeing, an anonymous online survey targeting those 18 and older was distributed via social media and email. This survey included demographic questions and the validated Food-Mood Questionnaire, which asked participants to rate how often they consumed various foods that constitute both diets, such as whole grains, fish, fast food, and meat. It also included questions that evaluated their perceived stress and mental distress through the Perceived Stress and the Kessler-6 scales. A total of 1591 participants completed the survey. The data was analyzed using Spearman’s Rho correlation and Principal Component Analysis in SPSS version 25.0. The results showed significant negative correlations between mental distress and perceived stress with several components of the Mediterranean diet, such as whole grains, seafood, and beans. Meat was also found to be negatively correlated with mental distress and perceived stress. However, significant positive correlations between mental distress, perceived stress and the Western diet such as fast food and high glycemic index food were found. This suggests that incorporating components of the Mediterranean diet is beneficial for mental wellbeing.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1081/thumbnail.jp

中国の新疆ウイグル自治区に伝承されるムカーム（muqum）は、中央ユーラシア最大の合奏音楽である。ムカームは、さまざまな楽曲によって構成される歌と踊の総称で、ユネスコの無形文化遺産になっている。ムカームの中にはいろいろな芸能が組み込まれているが、本稿では雑技系芸能に注目した。新疆ウイグル自治区における伝承芸能の実態を把握するため、ウイグルの民俗芸能を網羅する２ 冊の報告書により、まずは民族ごとの芸能の伝承数を調べ、次にその中から雑技系芸能を抜き出し、演目の違いや分布状況を調べた。さらに新疆ウイグル自治区に接する甘粛省や青海省、寧夏回族自治区の芸能状況と比較することによって、新疆ウイグル自治区で伝承される芸能は周辺の省や自治区よりも数が多いばかりでなく多種多様であり、伝承の中心はウイグル族であることも明らかになった

ウズベキスタン ノ ドゥタール セイサク

シルクロードに関する無形文化遺産として、中央アジアから西アジアにかけての分布するムカーム(マカーム)をあげることができる。これは、多様な旋法による旋法音楽で、長大な組曲形式をとることが特徴である。ムカームに用いられる楽器は多種多様で、形態はもちろんのこと、多くの点で共通点がある。ムカームが広範囲に分布するだけに楽器にも共通点があるのだが、これまで詳しい楽器製作工程は報告されていない。 今後研究の深化をはかるには、技術的な視点を持ち、製作過程を通した楽器それ自体の検討が必要である。本稿では弦楽器の習得のみならず、弦楽器製作でも基本となるドゥタールを取り上げ、ウズベキスタン国立音楽院伝統楽器製作修復工房でのドゥタール製作を紹介する。ここで製作される楽器は、学生からプロの演奏家までが使用しているため、ウズベキスタンにおける楽器製作の全体像をつかむ上でも定点とすべき位置にある
