summary:
  Since the journal’s founding in the fall of 2020, our mission has been to provide a professional, open-access platform for student researchers to publish their work in order to celebrate the scientific accomplishments of the Georgetown student body. Our semesterly issues, along with weekly student highlights, biweekly faculty highlights, and research-oriented events, strive to encourage members of the Georgetown community to pursue and explore research both in and outside of the classroom.

summary:
  The goals and priorities of each state’s governor contributed to the policies and severity of restrictions in each state.1, 2 Governor Grisham’s mask, mass gathering, and interstate quarantine policies are restrictions that she deems necessary in order to mitigate the spread and save lives.2 Governor Gary Herbert has valued economic recovery as opposed to virus mitigation, which is reflected in his lenient restrictions.2 In the immediate future, Governor Cox, Governor Herbert’s successor as of January, should enact the same mask, mass gathering, and interstate quarantine policies as New Mexico; both states should then reassess the list of states that people need to quarantine from, given that 21 states hit records for 7- day average of COVID-19 cases, as of October 11, in order to get transmission under control.3 Additionally, if COVID-19 transmission is slowed, mass gathering restrictions can be reassessed to allow for larger gatherings but should stay tightly restricted until that point. 3. Conclusions As shown, Governor Grisham’s mask, mass gathering, and interstate quarantine policies have contributed to the amount of COVID-19 cases in New Mexico being lower than that of Utah.

summary:
  Domestic Energy Ambitions Poland is currently trying to implement policies that increase energy security through domestic energy initiatives and transitions to cleaner energy sources.5 This can be seen in the federal government’s plans of Poland’s Energy Policy by 2030 (PEP2030), which has since been updated to PEP2040.6 PEP2040, officially released in 2020, plans to reduce coal reliance by cutting the fuel from 80% to 60% of the national power generation mix; this will then be followed by an ambitious decline to 22% by 2040.6 This reduction in coal reliance is fueled by planned investment in new energy sources such as nuclear energy. Since nuclear energy is currently not contributing to Poland’s energy or power generation mix, this would be a large step for Poland in achieving more energy security through diversification.3 Additionally, nuclear power development would contribute to the environmental sustainability aspect of energy security because nuclear power is notably cleaner than coal; a coal plant on average will put out 704 to 709kg of sulfur dioxide per Gigawatt hour (GWh), 717-721kg of nitrous oxides per GWh, and 150kg of dust per GWh.9 According to PEP2040A, a nuclear plant will emit zero air pollutants through the technology of Generation III and III+ reactors.7 Nuclear plants, however, create high, intermediate, and low-level radioactive waste that must be properly contained and managed through compaction.9 Radioactive waste is not a significant safety concern because Generation III and III+ reactors are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and equipped with technology that allows them to run safely for approximately 60 years.8

  Introduction Throughout the United States of America, a disproportionate number of Black youths become homicide victims of gun violence annually, and every year Black mothers nationally have to deal with the psychological consequences of the death of their own child. Therefore, Black mothers face the multiplying effects of racism and sexism while simultaneously experiencing forms of complicated maternal grief that emerge from losing a child to gun violence.

  In summary, Yang et al. found that increased GPR40 expression resulted in decreased binding to the NMDA receptor subunit NR2B which resulted in neuroprotective effects. The GPR40 and NMDA receptor interactions studied by Yang et al. showed an 25 Georgetown Scientific Research Journal increase in GPR40 expression.

  Henein et al. found that the proportion of assessments related to OCD increased in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in London.18 Similarly, Ji et al. found a positive association between university students’ fear of COVID-19 and their score on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, which rates the severity of OCD symptoms.19 The data obtained from Henein et al. suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the likelihood of those with a predisposition for OCD to develop OCD, and that it raised the severity levels of those with subclinical OCD to clinical OCD.18 Data obtained by Heinin et al. suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased deterioration in the functioning of individuals with OCD, which may translate into the scholastic setting as impaired academic performance.18 In addition to the lifestyle changes that intensified OCD symptoms, quarantining required a change in OCD treatment because in-person therapy appointments were no longer possible. In addition, changes in OCD symptoms in response to the onset of COVID-19 should be considered.

  Consequently, my research group postulated that if male college students perform endurance exercise, rather than strength exercise, then they will have a higher level of self-esteem. The study was designed to ascertain whether performing endurance exercise at a high frequency contributes to a higher level of self- esteem in male college students than those who practice strength exercise at a low frequency.

However, while there does exist an evident need for effective regulations surrounding certain pathogens and toxins, the bureaucratic and inordinate nature of the existing regulations has created significant regulatory and financial burdens in conducting select agent research.

  Variation in body size introduces behavioural and adaptive constraints in morphologically similar Felidae species

summary:
  For example, fishing cats (P. viverrinus) that partially rely on estuary mangrove habitats were found to be threatened by heavy metal contamination.43 Similar dynamics were found in urban-dwelling bobcats (L. rufus), where exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides led to increased disease severity.44-46 As apex predators, felids are especially susceptible to bioaccumulation, which can be heightened for small felid species (e.g. P. bengalensis) that primarily prey on secondary consumers such as birds or fish. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the majority (71%) of large felid species are currently listed under a threatened category (i.e., Vulnerable or Endangered; Figure 6a).
