Animating Bouboulina: An Interactive Painting Project
Presenter: Bee Possidente
Mentors: April Householder (Undergraduate Research), and Corrie Parks (Visual Arts, Animation)

Abstract:
“Animating Bouboulina” uses experimental animation to bring a painting to life, telling the story of Laskarina Bouboulina, a heroine of modern Greek history and commander of her own fleet during the Greek War of Independence (1821). The painting, created by Greek-Australian artist, Effie Chaniotis, was commissioned by Dr. April Householder to be dedicated to the Bouboulina Museum in Spetses, Greece, depicts Bouboulina alongside her descendant and founder of the museum, Philip Demertzis-Bouboulis. It is the first painting of Bouboulina to be created by a female artist, and highlights her humanity and vulnerability in contrast with her idealized reputation, while also honoring the founding of the museum. Working closely with Dr. Householder, I have produced a collection of short animations that tell Bouboulina’s story, bringing to life various symbols featured in the painting that each represent a concept or important event in her life. Using Adobe Photoshop, Premier, and After Effects, I developed experimental methods of converting the original painting into animated motion, mimicking cut-paper animation with digital cutouts and creating sophisticated rigs that combined cutouts and hand-drawn pieces. This work explores the creative potential of the ongoing digitization of art and art history, and challenges the traditional narrative surrounding Bouboulina while simultaneously celebrating her achievements and legacy.

Examining Filipino-American Mental Health Attitudes, Needs, and Barriers to Help-Seeking
Presenter: Elyssa Kristine Marie Granados Lou
Mentor: Anne Brodsky (Psychology)

Abstract:
Although an estimated 12 percent of Filipinos living in the U.S. suffer from psychological distress, Filipinos have the lowest reported  rates of help-seeking behaviors among all Asian Americans (Martinez et al., 2010; Gong et al., 2003) This research assesses attitudes toward and need for mental health services among the Filipino community living in the U.S., as well as identifies the barriers to help-seeking behaviors that contribute to mental health disparities. Open-ended interviews, averaging one hour in duration, were conducted on Zoom with ten first-generation Filipinos living in the U.S., ranging in age from 22 to 57 years old. Five participants were men and the other five were women. The interviews were transcribed with the aid of a transcription service, removing identifying information, and were analyzed using a coding framework based on key themes identified from previous literature and during the interview process. Comparisons among interview response themes especially focused on the influence of age, gender, and age at immigration on attitudes toward mental health. Interpretations from this research may inform future community interventions to increase mental health service utilization among the Filipino community and support the mental health needs of future generations of Filipino immigrants.

Mathematical Model of Cell Migration: Cell Boundaries and Force Balances
Presenter: Christina Dee
Mentors: Bradford Percy (Mathematics and Statistics), Michelle Starz-Gaiano (Biology)

Abstract:
This research centers on simulation of a cluster of migratory cells among nurse cells toward the oocyte in the egg chamber of Drosophila melanogaster in MATLAB. Cell migration is movement of cells responding to chemical gradients acting as signals. It is integral to daily functions like development and healing; also, progress in studies can lead to findings in cancer metastasis. This organism has a well-studied history and many human homologs in genetics. We asked: How to model cell migration through force balances, and what changes to parameters, equations, and geometry are needed? We captured heterogeneous cells of the egg chamber: including nurse, epithelial, and migratory border cells using interactions between cell membranes and arising via forces, including adhesive, repulsive, and spring forces. We used a volume force to include heterogeneously and realistically sized cells. When cells filled the chamber, we enacted the migratory force, which stems from a chemical gradient signaling, allowing border cells to climb through nurse cells. We solved the force balance equation with Euler's step to capture progression in time. In MATLAB, we coded cell boundaries around cell centers to represent membranes while adapting parameters, equations, and coefficients in order to realistically simulate cell migration.

Bilingualism And Cultural Identity In The Latinx Community
Presenter: Viridiana Colosio-Martinez
Mentor: Tania Lizarazo (MLLI)

Abstract:
Latinx cultural identity is constantly under pressure to be one feature at home and within the community, but to be something else outside. One difficulty faced by Latinx individuals when embracing bilingualism as their cultural identity is the stigmatization and stereotyping of being gangbangers, minimum wage workers, and hypersexualized femme fatale as part of their Latinx authenticity. Commonly, the Latinx cultural identity is generalized as only one culture. Many Latinxs have to constantly prove their English competency at school or at their workplace, living in fear and with anxiety to be replaced by their monolingual or bilingual peers that have no accent and sound more American. There is a misconception supporting the idea that learning more than one language affects developmental milestones in children. Therefore, some educators will suggest to Latinx families avoiding teaching their children their native language because this will affect their acquisition of standard English and ultimately affect their school performance. Translanguaging when speaking both languages is preferred by Latinxs because they identify their bilingualism as one repertory that uses either language depending on the need. This study may be relevant for the inclusion of bilingual individuals not only within UMBC but also in a globalized world.
