Xhuliano Marku - “Risk Management: Playing It Safe in Your Financial Journey” (session 12) Understanding risk is crucial, as it distinguishes between achieving financial stability and facing potential bankruptcy. Every financial decision carries inherent risks, whether it’s purchasing a home, saving for retirement, investing in the stock market, or buying a car. In this presentation, the audience will gain insights into the fundamentals of organizational risk management, with a particular emphasis on personal financial risk. I will define risk management and discuss various techniques for identifying risks. We will examine common financial risks, such as job loss and unexpected medical expenses, supported by relevant data from the United States. Furthermore, we will explore how individual risk tolerance varies, impacting preparedness for adverse events. In conclusion, we will outline effective strategies for managing risk, including budgeting, to enhance financial resilience. Ayden Martinez - see Luca Hasse, “MVC Game Day - Behind the Scenes” Josiah Matamua - “Adolescents Engage in Video Games That Affect Their Health” (poster session 1) The goal of this project is to investigate the impact of video games on Young adults ‘ health, particularly their mental health, and to better understand the complex relationship between gaming activity and psychological well-being. Given the growing popularity of video games and their immersive nature, it is critical to investigate how long-term gaming exposure may affect a person’s mental health, including possible hazards and benefits. Sedentary behavior, such as playing video games, is linked to poor health and an increased risk of morbidity from chronic diseases also to see how it could lead to more on the route of Criminal behavior. However, the association between health practices and video gaming is not well recognized and explored. Tyra Mckenzie - see Karintzin Patron-Arreola, “How Relationships with Parents Affect Adolescents” Carla Medina - “Silent Frail” (poster session 2) In Silent Frail, Medina represents a woman’s portrait where her body is wrapped in a blue cloth, which appears transparent in some areas of the face to show the liberation of the suffocating cloth that is weighing her down, showing her evolution and mental struggle. The figure takes the focus for the oil painting while the background has a gradient brown color to express the evolution and progress of oneself. Kloee Mills - “Understanding HIV/AIDS” (poster session 2) Human immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) is a viral infection that in some cases causes acquired immunodeficiency Syndrome(AIDS). HIV is a virus that infects cells within the body that are supposed to help the body fight against infection. This makes a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. HIV can be transmitted through having unprotected sex, from mother to children during childbirth, and sharing needles/getting stuck with a needle that is contaminated by HIV blood. HIV is incurable but there are treatment options for those infected. By using Antiretroviral Therapy there has been a change in the way that those affected with HIV/AIDS live with the disease. A once deadly disease is now a manageable disease that one can live with. There is a lot of misconception with HIV/AIDS and I hope with this presentation I can clear the misconceptions up and teach others about HIV/AIDS.
Shayne Mobley-Koutsky - “ADHD in High School Classrooms” (poster session 1) Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) presents unique challenges for students in traditional academic settings. Many symptoms overlap with giftedness or simply an energetic child. This can significantly impact a student’s academic progress and overall well-being. When these students are diagnosed with ADHD often we turn to medication. We should be leveraging ADHD’s benefits. ADHD has a multitude of symptoms that make it hard for them to succeed in a neurotypical classroom. Our job as educators is to make sure every student has enough tools to thrive in our society. That entails educators creating a more supportive learning environment for students with ADHD and facilitating their academic success. Angelique Morgan - “The Influence of Prey Availability on Microhabitat Selection of Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes (Diadophis punctatus) in Saline County, Missouri” (session 12) Missouri is home to a diverse group of species within the vertebrate suborder Serpentes (snakes). The purpose of this study was to describe the distribution of Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes (Diadophis punctatus) within Marshall Junction Conservation Area, Saline County, Missouri, relative to the distribution of their primary prey item, the Red EarthWorm (Lumbricus rubellus). Jovana Moròn - “Understanding Hepatitis B” (poster session 2) Hepatitis B, a viral infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), remains a global health concern affecting millions of people worldwide. This poster explores the components of hepatitis B, modes of transmission, prevention strategies, and worldwide impact. Hepatitis B targets the liver, often leading to chronic disease, liver cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma, and in some cases causes death. Transmission primarily occurs through exposure to infectious bodily fluids. Which include; blood, semen, and saliva. This puts healthcare environments and certain living conditions at high-risk for contracting. Effective prevention methods, including vaccination and safe practices such as hand washing, have shown success in reducing hepatitis B prevalence, but socioeconomic barriers and poor healthcare pose challenges to stay aseptic. Audrie Nate - “The Impact of Respiratory Syncytial Virus on Infants” (poster session 2) Respiratory syncytial virus is a contagious respiratory virus that infects the nose, throat, and lungs. It causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the United States. This research will explore the causes, symptoms, epidemiology and treatment of RSV, as well as the effects this disease has on all ages, not just infants.
