Emily Dolberry - “ADHD Awareness: Shifting Paradigms, Changing Lives” (session 17) ADHD, being a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder, demands a complex strategy for comprehension and assistance. This entails recognizing its diverse outcomes, societal perceptions, and implementing effective interventions to improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with ADHD. In my presentation I plan to help the audience understand what ADHD is, how it affects people differently, how outside people view them, and effective interventions. Alexis Duenas - see Hartline Destyne Duncan - “Improving Care for Uninsured Pediatric Clients and Families” (session 7) Proper healthcare can positively impact children’s ability to grow and develop physically and emotionally. This project identifies that children from non-insured families are experiencing barriers related to healthcare access and affordability. A list was developed for items that patients can bring to decrease the overall cost of their hospital stay. Among pediatric nurses, is satisfaction increased when using a developed list of items for non-insured pediatric clients and families to bring? Kara DuPont & Isabell Wallace - “Tired of Traditional Testing? (Alternative Forms of Assessment in Elementary Grades)” (poster session) In our presentation we will discuss traditional testing and alternative forms of assessment. We will highlight the different forms of alternative assessment and the benefits they have for individual and classroom growth. We will also share what traditional testing is, when it is necessary and why. We will share examples of each category and how they align with the curriculum and how progress is assessed. Elise Falcetti - “The Power of Social Influence on Hyper- Consumerism” (poster session) I will present how social psychology principles can change consumer behavior in order to understand how social status, self-image, and identity can make an impact on human motives. I will provide research on how social norms and conformity influence the decision-making process, so that consumers can understand the motives behind their consumption. Elise Falcetti - see Livengood Alejandro Fernandez - “Mathematics in Daily Life” (session 13) Mathematics permeates daily life beyond classrooms, influencing finance, healthcare, and technology. In finance, concepts like compound interest reveal investment growth potential. Healthcare employs models like SIR for disease spread prediction. Technology relies on math for image processing algorithms and
NLP. Finance utilizes advanced methodologies like MPT and option pricing models. Cryptography employs RSA and cryptographic hash functions. Quantum computing poses a new frontier. Mathematics, pivotal in decision-making, drives innovation and security. Its interdisciplinary presence enriches understanding and fosters limitless opportunities. Embracing mathematics ensures transformative progress across various domains, promising a future of boundless potential and innovation. Alli Ferrari - “Hirudotherapy“ (session 13) Leeches have been used for hundreds of years for medicinal components of therapy. Currently hirudotherapy or leech therapy is used to promote blood flow and decrease coagulation. This project aims to enhance the knowledge of nursing staff regarding the usage of medicinal leech therapy. This literature describes the diseases utilizing leech therapy, complications of therapy, and how to apply, remove and dispose of the leeches. This project also recognizes the barriers in relation to the medicinal use of leeches such as phobias, lack of knowledge, and emotional management. Lainey C. Ferrell - Special Session: Patrol Procedures Jacob Flores - see Beltran Josue Flores, Nick Tsoulfanidis, & Caleb Benshoof - “Enron Scandal” (poster session) This project delves deeply into the Enron scandal, examining the chain of events that led to its rapid growth and far-reaching impact. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of how such scandals can arise and identify warning signs for detecting fraud. To achieve this, we are analyzing a range of sources, including articles, reports, and news coverage, to gather as much information as possible and present it in an organized and coherent fashion. Our research aims to shed light on the Enron scandal and its broader implications, helping our group and others to grasp the full extent of its impact. Elizabeth Foose - see Livengood Natalie Garcia - “Policy Revision for Nurse-Patient Ratio” (session 14) Nursing is an ever-changing field with the goal to provide the highest quality care and improve patient outcomes. The current nursing shortage has resulted in a higher nurse/patio ratio. Nurses with a high patient ratio are at higher risk of committing medications errors and occurrence of patient falls due to decreased direct patient care. The benefits of decreasing nurse-patient ratio not only helps improve patient care but improves the safety of the nurses and patients. A potential policy was developed with supportive evidence for mandating a lower nurse/ patient ratio.
