Laura Moreno Chaves - “Making Missouri Valley College a Better Place to Spend our College Years” (session 10) This research investigates how we can help Missouri Valley College be a much more desirable place for students to spend their college experience. During the research, we will study the major problems students struggle with at MVC and the convenient ways to change and improve these issues. Furthermore, besides getting into detail on those needs that have to be solved for our students, we will also be able to detect other types of problems, including mental issues, sports, etc. To conclude, the final purpose of this research is to make college life a more enjoyable and unforgettable experience by studying the students and their daily needs. Angelique Morgan - “Mad Cow Disease” (session 1) This disease is also known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), which is identified as a progressive neurological disorder affecting cattle and humans. An infection of a transmissible agent, called a prion, began to occur when farmers fed some of their cattle ground up bones and meat from other cattle and sheep. The first possible infections of BSE in cows occurred during the 1970s; the symptoms were identified in two cases in 1986. However, many became concerned when scientists found that people who had eaten meat from infected cows had received a version of the disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Within a few months of getting this disease, we found humans with noticeable symptoms such as trembling, dementia, trouble walking, and going into a coma. DeRel Morris - “Who Are You, Truly” (session 7) I will give a personal narrative speech with a presentation on the impacts of growing up at the intersectionality of being both black and queer. I will explore how the lack of representation growing up stunted and stunted queer youth. I will explore those idealisms and how it stunts the queer youth sexually, socially, in media, and within themselves. The big question will be, “What have you had to destroy within yourself to survive in the world?” Ignacio Moutas - “Exploring the Role of Video Games in College Classrooms” (session 10) The paper highlights that video games can positively affect university classrooms by fostering experiential learning, motivation, and transferable skills development. However, it also underscores the importance of careful and strategic implementation to maximize their potential in higher education.
Dalton Oerly - H1N1 “Swine Flu” (poster session) “Swine flu” is a respiratory disease caused by a strain of Influenza A, H1N1. This particular strain comprises a mix of RNA from Avian flu, Swine flu, and Human flu. While it is uncommon for the disease to be spread between species (i.e., pig to human or vice versa), it is possible, mainly in individuals that handle livestock. The upper and lower respiratory tracts are both affected by the disease. While mild flu symptoms occur most of the time, death can happen. While swine flu is a relatively new disease, it has caused several deaths around the globe since 2009. Aidan Oldham - “Looking Beyond the Spectrum” (session 9) Autism is a complex developmental disorder with deficits in communication, social interaction, and general cognition. These symptoms or deficits can be laid over a spectrum to help determine each person’s strengths and weaknesses. The spectrum was once thought of as a line that displayed symptoms from low functioning to high functioning but has evolved into a wheel of both deficits and formerly known disorders that have now merged into one. Autism is different because not only is there a spectrum, but each case develops uniquely and is impacted by both internal and external factors. Jeralding Olivas - “Women’s Figure Skating; a sport of beauty, elegance, exploitation, and corruption.” (session Figure skating is one of the most well-crafted, skilled, and highly-performed winter sports. Being one of the most viewed at each Winter Olympics. It showcases male and female athletes in sparkly costumes while they perform extremely complicated jumps and choreography on ice. With a sport with such a high reputation for beauty and grace, one category has fallen to abuse and toxicity. Women’s Single skating is the only sport in this day and age where the younger and less experienced are champions. Why is that? Why is a category for women having no room for women? What has happened to figure skating? In my ten-minute presentation, I break down the science behind abusive methods and their short-term success in young female athletes. Followed by scandals and the judge’s role in favoring one less skilled athlete over another.
