Eauster Beads

6 Authors

We aim to create a product made out of oyster shells and their biofilms to filter water. Waste oyster shells have sparked interest among scientists in recent years for their capacity to adsorb heavy metal ions. The biofilms containing microbes on oyster shells can effectively degrade organic contaminants. Up to 10 million tonnes of bivalve shells are discarded annually, contaminating local environments. While the use of both processed and unprocessed waste oyster shells has been demonstrated, there has yet to be a complete design of an oyster-shell-derived, compact filter product that local dwellers can readily use. Our campaign centers on a special filter bead composed of two parts: a core of powdered oyster shells and a layer of biofilms. The core consists of pyrolyzed oyster shell powder, which stabilizes the pH level and adsorbs metal ions. The second layer, composed of cultured biofilms, filters ammonia, phosphate, and organic substances.

AskALICE: The Artificial Intelligence Chatbot for Assistance Programs (Bridging the Gap for ALICE)

1 Author

Historically, nonprofit organizations like United Way and Feeding America assist the 37.9 million Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households in the U.S. To quantify their socioeconomic impact and identify gaps in targeted relief efforts, this study analyzes data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series and U.S. Census data. Findings reveal a significant gap in benefitted ALICE households, primarily due to inadequate access to information. To address this, AskALICE, an AI chatbot, was developed using Yellow.ai’s Orchestrator LLM to offer easily accessible, centralized information on assistance programs, ensuring better outreach and support for ALICE households. A research paper manuscript (MS30691: "Bridging the Gap for ALICE: Charitable Organizations Taking Action Amid Rising Inflation and Further Solutions Using Artificial Intelligence”) has also been formulated alongside a Princeton University Undergraduate Student (Rishika Porandla, Astrophysics and Statistics/ML) and has been submitted for publication at MIT Press' "The Review of Economics and Statistics", the 10th (impact level of 8.0) most prestigious economics journal in the world, with 84 years history of applied (especially quantitative) economics.

The ultimate goal is to foster a hotspot for students to find potential activities(competitions, camps, internships, research) that can aid in their professional development by providing the opportunity to gain experience in their career field and by helping them stand out in college and job applications. This platform utilizes an AI assistant to guide and support students in their chosen activities and competitions, making the opportunities easy to get and educational. Core Objective: The core objective of EC Peazy is to utilize web design and AI to enhance students' participation in extracurriculars. By simplifying the discovery and engagement process, we aim to transform how students explore their interests and develop their talents. The platform excels in providing a pathway for students to easily access worldwide extracurriculars and how to excel in them. Problem Statement: Many high school students struggle to find extracurricular activities that align with their interests and goals. This issue often leads to missed opportunities for personal growth and career development. EC Peazy addresses this issue by providing a hub for finding meaningful extracurricular activities and utilizing AI support to help students in those activities. Importance of Extracurricular Involvement: Extracurricular involvement is important as these activities are vessels for growing a student’s career early. Extracurriculars allow students to contribute and play a part in their career area outside the school classroom while facilitating career growth, newfound ideas, and industry knowledge. They also play a significant part in college admissions and job applications, hence why many high schoolers sought after them when they could.  EC Peazy will aid students in maximizing their potential by offering support and resources tailored to their interests and activities. Platform Features and Scenarios: EC Peazy features a large database of extracurricular activities, composed of academic competitions, pre-college camps, school programs, career competitions, and recommended career activities(Start a business, engage in or start a club, etc.)  The AI assistant will provide personalized recommendations based on the student's interests and goals. It can isolate Extracurriculars based on major, grade level, and categories of those activities.  It can help students along the way while they partake in the activity and can also be someone to talk to in terms of college applications and writing.   Empowerment and Societal Impact: EC Peazy’s objective of encouraging students to explore and develop their interests can lead to a more engaged and motivated youth, contributing to a more bright and career-developed society. Additionally, EC Peazy can help bridge the gap in opportunities, ensuring all students have access to meaningful experiences and a form of help to aid them along their path.

A VIRTUAL COMPANION FOR ECZEMA PATIENT

1 Author

Please access this link (Google Docs) to review the complete business plan: https://tinyurl.com/3rzdy4rr Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a prevalent skin condition among Vietnamese, with 5% - 10% of the population suffering from it, which is about 5 million - 10 million people. This is a chronic skin condition that can lead to severe discomfort, psychological distress, and a diminished quality of life. The problem is exacerbated in rural and underserved urban communities, where access to quality eczema care is severely limited. Many patients resort to unreliable self-treatment methods or endure long waits and high costs at hospitals and clinics. Consequently, untreated or poorly managed eczema can result in infections, sleep disturbances, and significant mental health issues. Our solution is a comprehensive eczema app designed to provide personalized care. The app creates a basic personalized plan for users to follow. After following this plan for a period of time (up to one month), patients can choose whether to continue with the plan or seek further assistance from doctors through the app. To develop these personalized plans, the app collects data on users’ symptoms, lifestyle habits, and environmental conditions, and uses AI to provide treatment suggestions. During the treatment plan, the app also offers additional features, including a reminder system, a community forum and pair-up system, and an e-profile for users who decide to consult a doctor. As the demand for effective atopic dermatitis treatments in Vietnam is projected to double by 2030, our app is poised to meet this growing need. We aim to empower patients with the tools and knowledge to manage their condition effectively, improving their overall health and well-being.

Heautontimorumenos

1 Author

The phrase "heautontimorumenos" derives from Greek and was the title of Terence's great comedy. In his comedy, he famously said, "I am a man, I consider nothing human to be alien to me". Terence's play emphasizes ideals like understanding, human respect, and availability to others, as defined by the Latin term Humanitas: we are people, not individuals. This idea faithfully embodies the aspects of the third purpose of the Sdgs: taking an interest in the needs of others, caring for their well-being and mental health. This project consists of arousing the collective spirit of empathy and solidarity among unique people. My plan is to develop an application/site with the goal of offering rapid support to each user, including those with no expertise and not abandoning them in a time of need. This project aims to disseminate information about physical and mental health, such as the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, the consequences of drug abuse, health and hygiene habits to promote a better living environment, fresh and sealed food storage, and so on. Furthermore, the site/app (hypothetically) features an area where the user can enter physical or mood symptoms into the search box, and based on the data supplied, the user is presented with more concise content that meets his needs. Finally, this function would be extremely useful for those who do not have a guide in their life, in this case Heautontimorumenos is an effective tool for reaching useful contacts and instructions to take into account for the greatest guarantee of one's health. Heautontimorumenos means "self-tormenter," which is why I chose this term to represent my thought. People who are suffering from diseases or psychological disorders frequently believe that they deserve to be in misery and that there is no way out. Life presents us with limited options, or we may not recognize them. In short, remember that we are all one; do not abandon yourself alone; seek support until you obtain it, and you will see that its signal will return to the hearts of others who were looking for you.
