Jordyn Pollock - “Salmonella” (poster session) This paper will dive deep into the bacterial disease Salmonellosis, known as Salmonella. As this bacteria affects the intestinal tract of humans and living animals, Salmonella is often transmitted through stool and water. It is not rare to remain symptomless while infected with this bacteria. However, it is more common to experience symptoms of fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping of the abdominal region. These may start following 8-72 hours after exposure to the bacteria and may continue for ten days. When diagnosing Salmonella, it is essential not to confuse the symptoms with those of the common flu. A surefire way to ensure a correct diagnosis is to test a stool sample or bloodstream to see if it contains Salmonellosis. This paper will further investigate the history, transmission, incubation, treatment, symptoms, mortality rate, and prevalence of the Salmonellosis bacteria. Carly Powley - “Meningococcal Disease” (poster session) Meningococcal Disease is an illness caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. Although rare, 10 to 15 out of 100 with the disease will die. This bacteria can be found in every 1 out of 10 people and is usually found in the throat. The sharing of secretions such as saliva or spit spreads it. The first ever recorded outbreak of Meningococcal disease was in the year 1805 in Geneva and was later linked with a bacterial infection in 1887 by biologist Anton Vaykselbaum. Today, people can receive vaccinations to prevent individuals from contracting this disease. This presentation will cover the history, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of Meningococcal disease. Rubal Pradhan - Network Security in Data Communications” (session 13) This project explores the question, “Why is network security important to data communications, and how has it evolved?” From this project, I will explore the foundational elements of network security, encompassing encryption, authentication, and intrusion detection, and delve into the challenges of an ever-evolving threat landscape. I will also discuss the best practices, security protocols, and standards organizations employ to protect their data. I also intend to discuss real-world case studies, explaining past network security breaches and offering insights into how they could have been prevented. Finally, I will present future trends in network security, providing a glimpse into the technologies and strategies poised to safeguard our networks. Jerrika Renner- Art Showcase
Shane Rodriguez - “Logo Branding Process” (poster session) This poster will highlight the recent logo project for the new Reading and Writing Center at Missouri Valley College. I will go through the step-by-step process of the logo design, from meeting with the clients, to the first rough sketches, to getting client feedback and finally the creation of the final product on Adobe Illustrator. The poster will be a shorter version of the branding kit, which would be the Center’s visual guideline. The branding kit will show both the primary and secondary logo, the elements that tie in with the institution’s brand identity, the importance of typography, and the do’s and don’ts of logo usage. I will also display a few examples of ways to use the primary logo versus the secondary logo. Marçal Ros Aspas - “Hepatitis B” (poster session) Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a significant public health problem, impacting millions of individuals around the world, although public health strategies, like vaccination, screening, and treatment, are reducing its impact. This infectious agent is liver-related morbidity and mortality. This abstract provides a summarized overview of the current situation of hepatitis B, like the critical aspects of its epidemiology, transmission, prevention, and challenges in the management of affected patients. Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, with infected blood, or perinatal transmission from mother to child. Immunization efforts have induced a significant reduction in new infections, but a considerable global load persists, especially in regions with limited access to healthcare resources. Public health strategies, like vaccination, screening, and treatment, are reducing the impact of hepatitis B. Andres Rueda de Leon - “Therapy for Everybody” (session 9) The research provides an extensive overview of psychotherapy, encompassing its fundamental principles, techniques, and benefits.
