ABSTRACTS
Kiara Adams - see Buglovsky Cris E. Aguilar - Special Session: Patrol Procedures Makenzie Aguiar - “Does Growing Up In An Unstable Environment Make Kids More Aggressive?” (poster session) This study investigates the potential relationship between growing up in an unstable environment and increased levels of violence in children. This research is being undertaken at Missouri Valley College and will focus on students enrolled in the School of Education and Social Sciences. The study dives into the intricacies of the factors that lead to aggressive behavior, looking at the impact of several forms of instability such as familial conflict, home life, and parental influences. The study’s purpose is to focus and shed light on the complicated relationship between environmental instability and violent behavior by analyzing data from a survey distributed to Missouri Valley College Undergraduate Students. The study aims to contribute significant details to the present conversation regarding child development, emphasizing the need of comprehensive approaches for understanding and addressing the impact of unstable conditions on early aggression. Results are expected to show that there is a correlation between growing up in an unstable environment and aggression. Sarah Arnett - see Lechuga Bryson Anderson - “Novel Synthetic Strategies to Cannabidiol” (session 13) Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are two cannabinoids found within the plant Cannabis Sativa. The structures of these two compounds are similar, yet have drastically different effects on the human body. Medicinal use of CBD has become increasingly popular; therefore creating a need for the extracted CBD. In this presentation I will explain the novel synthetic strategies found by Maiocchi, Barbieri, Fasano, and Passarella used to extract CBD independently from THC. Mystyque Anderson - “Current Issue in Criminal Justice” (poster session) This project will display the differences in between rape cases that have been reported and cleared vs. those that havent been reported or cleared. This project will break down the reasons why this specific type of crime has such low clearance rates. It will also go in depth about what exactly rape is, why victims dont report the crime, what gender the majority of victims are as well as the genders of the perpetrators. A better understanding of why these clearance rates are so low could help prevent these crimes from going without being reported or fully cleared.
Rubén Baquero Martinez - “Exploring the Diversity and Functionality in Computer Science” (poster session) This project presents a detailed analysis of the different types of programs that can be found nowadays in the field of Computer Science as well as the different functions they provide. It explores the features and uses of programming languages such as Java and Python, used in a variety of applications, to HTML for web development and C++ for software applications. Tools such as Figma, which facilitate user interface design and team collaboration, are also examined. This project also highlights the indispensable role of these programs in the development of artificial intelligence, essential in the transformation of diverse industries and in the opening of new possibilities in fields such as automatization and data analysis. The main objective of this research is to provide an overview of the large number of programs that are currently available and their importance in the development of innovative technologies. Willow Barnes - “Population Demography of Snapping Turtles (Chelydridae) in Mid-Missouri Ponds” (session 4) The reptile Order Testudines (turtles) is commonly found throughout the midwest region of North America. In general, turtles can be grouped into one of the three categories: non aquatic, semi-aquatic, and aquatic. The Family Chelydridae is composed of aquatic turtles and was the subject of this project. The goal of this research was to estimate the population size of snapping turtles in several Mid-Missouri farm ponds using mark-recapture methodology. Turtles were captured using baited hoop nets set for 24 hours. Standard measurements were taken on all captured turtles and individuals were released unharmed at point of capture. Turtles were also implanted with Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT tags), as a means to identify recaptured individuals. Ona Bartolome Areny & Kylie Linson - “Integrating Classroom Management with Effective Assessment Practices” (session 12) Classroom management and assessment can be viewed as two inseparable pillars of teaching. They combine in a mutually reinforcing way to provide students with a conducive environment for learning. This abstract focuses on the synergy between classroom management and assessment as they relate to student success. The combination of classroom management and assessment is a necessary factor for students’ future achievements. Educators can thus ensure that the assessment component is just a continuation of proper classroom management practices, and thereby, all students can benefit from such an enriching learning experience.
