Joana Marucci Compte - “Comparative Windshield Survey: Saline County & Pettis County” (poster session) A Windshield Survey is a survey performed by health professionals to collect data by driving around and looking out their windshield to assess people and the environment. This assessment method is widely used among Public Health Nursing nurses, whose practice revolves around promoting and protecting the health of populations using knowledge from nursing, social, and public health sciences. In this presentation, a comparison between Saline and Pettis County will be analyzed further to understand the differences and similarities in their populations. Joana Marucci Compte - “Cultivating Cultural Sensitivity” (session 7) In a constantly interconnected world, understanding, respecting, and navigating the various walls of cultures are not only virtues but necessities. The concept of cultural sensitivity has become a cornerstone in the promotion of harmonious communication and cooperation; it involves a deep recognition that each individual is a product of their own unique cultural context, filled with a rich puzzle of traditions, beliefs, and practices. In this paper, those elements that make cultures both alike and different will be dissected, with a particular emphasis on how we can be sensitive to traditions and values different from our own. Josiah Matamua - “Adolescents Engaged in Gaming That Affect Their Health” (poster session) This study explores the complex relationship between teenage video game use and its effects on their general health. This paper tries to clarify the difficult consequences of extended video game involvement on teenagers’ physical, mental, and social well-being by thoroughly assessing the literature and empirical studies. The analysis shows a complex relationship between sound and adverse effects on health outcomes and video game usage patterns. Excessive gaming participation has been linked to sedentary behavior, sleep problems, and a possible rise in obesity rates, even though immersive gaming experiences can promote cognitive capabilities, problem-solving ability, and collaboration. Additionally, the study finds significant associations between extended gaming sessions and mental health issues, such as elevated anxiety, stress, and depression.

PAM is contracted through water containing Naegleria fowleri entering the nose and moving to the brain through the olfactory nerve. This disease is tough to diagnose due to its rapid progression, and in most cases, it is only diagnosed after the patient has died. The fatality rate for PAM is over 97%, and only 4 of the 157 people in the USA who were diagnosed from 1962 to 2022 survived. Kloee Mills - “The Working of Student-Athletes” (poster session) My poster has direct results from a survey I have done on the MVC campus. The information shows the amount of practice, off days, game days, and classes current student-athletes are doing. The data gathered shows how much student-athletes are overworked. My reason for this poster is to inform those reading about the problems current student-athletes are facing. Madison Mills - “Malaria” (poster session) Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite-infected mosquito. An infected mosquito bites someone and causes an infection within that person. Malaria is only caused by being bitten by an infected mosquito and cannot be passed from person to person. It is estimated that there are over 200 million cases of malaria each year. In the United States, we are at a much lower risk of contracting malaria due to the lack of wetlands in the U.S. compared to other parts of the world, along with the malaria prevention drugs we have access to. A person infected with malaria will experience flu-like symptoms, including chills, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In more severe cases, an infected person may experience kidney failure, seizures, confusion, or even enter into a coma. The treatment for malaria is prescription drugs that are prescribed based on many different factors. Margot Mirabal - “Applied Graduate Capstone Project: Writing a Children’s Book” (session 8) This project focuses on understanding what makes a great children’s book. The primary focus is on the illustration aspect of creating a children’s book. The project aims to use all the findings from the research to develop a qualitative children’s book that follows current trends and guidelines specific to youth literature. Furthermore, the project aims to prove the validity of educators’, past illustrators’, and scholars’ claims about the importance of youth literature.
