Changes in the Parenting Perceptions of Incarcerated Mothers who Participate in a Parenting Class
Having the ability to procreate does not ensure the ability to parent. Many offender mothers come to prison only to realize they are ill equipped to raise their children. After generations, devastated by abuse, single parenthood, neglect and poverty the offender mothers’ worry their children will …

As global ambient temperatures continue to rise, with the highest recorded annual averages since 1850 being within the last ten years, problems emerge for species exhibiting temperature-dependent sex determination. This is the process by which the sex of an animal’s embryo is determined based on the temperature of environment in which it is incubated, which can result in skewed sex ratios within a population like in the case of the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). Reportedly, 85-95% of Hawksbills sampled in the wild are currently female [3]. This sex-imbalance can negatively impact the species’ ability to procreate, leading to the potential for extinction. Currently, no viable, long-term solutions exist to effectively and safely cool sea turtle eggs while still keeping them within their natural habitat. This research proposes the creation of sea turtle egg incubators designed to achieve a temperature range that will produce a higher percentage of male hatchlings to help rectify this imbalance in habitats heavily affected by climate change. These incubators are designed to be affordable, easy to build and, most importantly, safe for the sea turtle eggs. Three-month-long temperature trials for the incubator were conducted in Jamaica with conservationist community partners at Oracabessa Bay Sea Turtle Project. Results showed that this incubator is not only easy to manufacture and use, but that it successfully regulates the temperature range in favor of more male hatchlings, while also increasing the emergence rate of the hatchlings from 70% in natural nests to over 80%. During one of the hottest months in Jamaica, the incubator, deployed without water changes, doubled the predicted percentage of males produced by natural nests. When provided with cool water changes the incubator quintupled this value. Throughout the months of August to October, the incubator achieved a temperature range that is predicted to produce 85-99% male hatchlings, thus counteracting the feminization phenomenon occurring in nature.
Foams, widely used in packaging, insulation, protective gear, and medical implants, are versatile materials but mechanically inefficient due to their bending-dominated microstructure, leading to an exponential loss of stiffness and strength at low relative densities. Architected materials address …

Embryo Adoption: Implications of Personhood, Marriage, and Parenthood
One’s personal claims regarding personhood will influence his moral belief regarding embryo adoption. In Chapter One, I consider the personhood of the human embryo. If the human embryo is a person, we are morally obligated to permit the practice of embryo adoption as an ethical means to save human …
