Paula Romero - “Public Health Investment vs. COVID-19 Mortality: A Comparative Analysis” (session 17) During the COVID-19 pandemic, nations had to respond with varied strategies to combat the virus’s spread. This study aims to investigate whether increased healthcare spending facilitated more effective pandemic management. We will analyze the relationship between COVID-19 deaths and healthcare investment as a percentage of GDP across OECD countries. We predict that higher healthcare expenditure correlates with reduced COVID-19 mortality rates. Through meticulous statistical analysis of comprehensive global datasets, we seek to determine any significant associations. This research will try to shed light on the potential impact of healthcare financing on pandemic outcomes, offering valuable insights for future policies. Javontae Rosser - see Hoffman Maria Rubio - “Abstract Algebra” (session 8) Abstract algebra is a branch of mathematics that explores the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, fields, and vector spaces. It abstracts mathematical concepts to study their fundamental properties and relationships, transcending specific numerical systems. Groups, for example, are sets equipped with an operation that satisfies certain axioms, providing a framework to understand symmetry and transformations. Rings extend this concept by incorporating two operations, addition and multiplication, exhibiting properties like commutativity and distributivity. Fields further generalize these structures, encompassing properties like inverses for addition and multiplication. Abstract algebra plays a pivotal role in various fields including cryptography, coding theory, and physics, providing powerful tools to analyze structures and patterns. Its applications extend beyond mathematics, impacting diverse areas of science and technology. Understanding abstract algebra is crucial for developing a deeper comprehension of fundamental mathematical principles and their applications in real- world scenarios.

Leticia Seabra, Ines Rocha, & Tyra McKenzie - “The Athletic Department Behind the Scenes” (session 8) The Athletic Department Behind The Scenes is a presentation to introduce you to what the interns do during a semester by helping the Athletic Department on-campus events. It goes from preparing the concession stands to making event flyers to invite students and community members to come to support our student-athletes. Veronica Sims - “Purewick and Its Benefits: An Educational Module” (session 8) Urinary tract infections are a common concern among women with indwelling catheters. The Purewick external catheter system is a new innovative product that protects against incontinence while decreasing the risk of infection. To educate the staff nurses on the benefits of the Purewick system a module was developed.To evaluate the nurses’ knowledge a pretest/post-test method will be utilized. The goal of this project is to increase nurse knowledge and use of the Purewick system, leading to decreased incidence of catheter acquired infections. Maria Slaughter - “Articulation Disorder vs Language Disorder” (poster session) I will be presenting about Articulation Disorder vs Language Disorder. I will discuss the difference between the disorders and what the two disorders have in common. Articulation Disorder is a speech disorder that affects kids who have trouble accurately producing certain sounds. Children who have this disorder may slur their words, substitute sounds, or speak incoherently. A Language disorder is persistent difficulty with learning a language and its usage. Spoken, written, or signed language are included in this. There are multiple variations of language disorders that I will be discussing further in my presentation. These disorders play hand in hand, some language disorders, like expressive language disorder, frequently occur with articulation disorder. Tisha Solopa - see K. Gutierrez Henrik Stenersen - “ADHD: a Undiagnosed Upbringing” (session 5) When I was 17 I got diagnosed with ADHD, that gave me a lot of answers on my upbringing. Especially in school and it has affected me academically. Getting the diagnosis has given me a lot of answers about my childhood. There are pros and cons about not being diagnosed with such a disease. I have learned how to tackle a lot of different situations mainly in school but also socially and on the pitch when I’ve done different sports and to handle my emotions in the right ways. My goal with this presentation is to let people know that us humans are far from perfect and even though I’ve come a long way with my school work and how I’m dealing with emotions. I’m far away from done with learning about myself. I want to help others through the same challenges and make it easier for them.
