Student Research Symposium Program Spring 2025

Kelly Tagnolli - “ADHD Intervention Educational Pamphlet” (session 11) This capstone project was targeted at children who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Many children and parents around the world are navigating through how to manage the symptoms and effects that ADHD has on quality of life. With symptoms of hyperactivity and inattention being the main aspects of the diagnosis, it can be difficult for children to stay focused on tasks and daily objectives going on around them whether in school or daily life. This project examines a beneficial non pharmacological intervention that can help improve physical and mental symptoms of ADHD. It evaluates the role of exercise in reducing hyperactivity and improving concentration and sleep patterns and comparing it to children who do not include exercise and instead use the more traditional types of pharmacological treatments. The goal of this project is to create an educational pamphlet to help teach both children and their parents about how adding physical activity into the treatment interventions for children with ADHD can enhance their quality of life and manage their symptoms. Evan Tindle - “What was Missouri’s TRUE Stance on Slavery? Legality VS Morality” (session 3) I am currently researching and writing my Senior Thesis on the question of what was Missouri’s TRUE stance on slavery. I will dive into the history and lead up to the creation of Missouri. As well I will be discussing many primary documents that outline the contradictions in Missouri slave law and how much of a grey area Missouri was on slavery. Lucía Torres Vizcaíno - “Was the So-called “Night of the Sixty”, that Occurred in Álora, in 1937, a Direct Response to Republican Actions in the Region, or was it Part of a Plan of Systematic Repression?” (session 3) The “Night of the Sixty”, as the early morning of April 5th of 1937 is known in Álora, was the one that held the most deaths in the town during the Spanish Civil War, and has not been investigated like other events that took place during the war in the country. This research project investigates whether the mass executions that occurred that night were a direct response to Republican actions in the region, or part of a plan of systematic repression by the nationalists. I investigate this question by analyzing death penalty statements, newspaper articles, the Álora Prison Admission Book, the Provincial Commission for the Examination of Sentences of Malaga, personal experience narratives and other primary and secondary sources. While both sides used violence and repression before, during, and after the war, this study argues that during Álora’s national mandate systematic repression was used as a method of domination and control, with the “Night of the Sixty” being a clear example of this and not a direct response to Republican actions in the region, although historians such as José María Zavala deny the existence of a plan, or like Ricardo de la Cierva affirm that Franco’s repression was a “fair war” against communism.

Jewel Torres-Amaya - “Weighing the Risks: When Should Police End a Pursuit?” (poster session 1) The purpose of this study is to show why it is crucial to know what precautions police take when making decisions on when to stop a pursuit because it could deal with the safety of the public and innocent bystanders. It is key to know that the police are making decisions for not only their safety but the safety of the public. Police pursuits are high risk to not only the officers but the public. When there are situations where innocent bystanders can be endangered. When this happens it is crucial for officers to take into consideration if it is safe to pursue the pursuit. This paper shows the importance of the key factors that should guide police decisions to terminate a pursuit especially when bystanders are at risk. High-speed chases can quickly escalate into dangerous situations, making it essential for law enforcement to evaluate when to stop a pursuit. Santiago Trejoluna - “The Economic and Cultural Impact of College Athletics on Small Communities” (poster session 2) University athletics are the economic and cultural heartbeat of small towns, generating a revenue stream for schools and communities. The research in this project examines the economic impact of Missouri Valley College (MVC) athletics on Marshall, Missouri as a case study. This project draws from qualitative ethnographic interviews with local business leaders and college directors, as well as quantitative data from government sources and university reports. This research analyzes the athletics’ impact on institution budgets, business enterprise, and local identity. In addition to economic returns, sports also consolidates community investment and identity, and women’s sports continues to take root as an integrating manner. By analyzing archival documents, economic statistics, and individual testimonies, this research uncovers the major contribution of college sports to the economy of small towns. The work of writing offers suggestions to educators, policymakers, and businesspeople who want to gain maximum advantages from sports. Lucía Valdivia Escabias - “Marketing Evolution: Standing Out in a New Era” (session 6) Marketing has evolved in many different ways during the last decade. The activity of creating, capturing, communicating, delivering and exchanging offers has become a difficult area to single out. The new tools of artificial intelligence, and the so-called z generation with their proficiency in the use of new technologies and social networks have made it possible for any individual to advertise products and services. However, differentiating oneself from common patterns and already promoted content is more complicated than ever. This symposium studies and analyzes the fundamental keys to create a distinctive marketing that captures the attention of the audience, differentiating the good or service from its competitors. Through real studies and comparisons between companies and modes of operation, you will discover the complexity of marketing and its wide results. Are you able to create successful marketing? It is not as easy as it seems... but after this presentation you will be closer to do it.
