Owen Kiso - ART 334 Ceramics II Pottery Sale (visual art session) Maleigha Landers - “The Psychological Impact of ACL Tears on Depression and Anxiety in Female College Athletes” (poster session II) This research study will look at the psychological role in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries on things like depression, anxiety, and return-to-play confidence levels amongst female collegiate athletes. ACL injuries are one of the most severe sport-related injuries that usually require rehabilitation, where some athletes might experience psychological distress. Female athletes are at a higher risk for not only ACL injuries, but the psychological distress and challenges that come with it. There is little research on anxiety and depression levels prior to injury. It is my hypothesis that female collegiate athletes will report a higher level of anxiety and/or depression during the rehabilitation phase when compared to before their injury. The increase of these levels will be negatively correlated with confidence when returning to their sport. A sample of around 50 female collegiate athletes with a history of ACL reconstruction surgery will be recruited to complete a survey. The survey will include questions of demographics, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-10 (DASS-10) while assessing their psychological distress both pre and post injury. A measure of their confidence levels returning to their sport will also be asked during the survey. The data may help with society not only recognizing, but treating mental health issues in injured athletes. Hayden Leavell - see Hurst et al. “Team Insight” (session 13) Lexi Leeper - “The Long-Term Health Consequences of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the Role of Trauma-Informed Nursing Care” (session 5) Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are connected to many long-term physical and mental health issues. Studies have shown that individuals who have a history of childhood trauma have a higher risk of developing chronic diseases such as substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and issues maintaining stress. Although this association has been determined, awareness of the consequences of ACEs and education remains limited among most young adults. Thus, the importance of increasing education on this topic earlier in life, before health issues begin to rise. Education on this topic can also provide as a preventive strategy to help decrease the potential health issues and improve the overall well-being. This project will focus on educating young adults about ACEs and how they can affect long-term health outcomes through an education module. The goal is to increase
young adults’ knowledge, increase awareness, and help decrease/ prevent the potential long-term physical and mental health consequences that have been connected to ACEs. Mason Lipsey - see Russell et al. “Fuel The Vikings” (session 1) Keila Liebenberg - “Rhetoric of Resilience: A Neo Aristotelian Analysis of Resilient Voices Farm Attacks” (session 10) Rhetoric of Resilience Resilient voices – Farm attack survivors tell their stories: Ep. 7: Leon Lotz is a rhetorical artifact about Leon Lotz’s tragic story of when he lost his family to a farm attack, his story is one of many. I am using Neo- Aristotelian Criticism, which involves many steps, but most importantly, analyzing an artifact through answering the research question;”Did the rhetor use the available means of persuasion to evoke the intended response from the audience?” I believe that the rhetor intended for the audience to feel empathetic to be able to get his message across. Leon uses rhetorical styles such as ethos when he states his education and experience. He involves logos when he uses facts about the occurrences and what exactly happened within each attack to persuade the audience and pathos when he brings emotion to tell his story. Makenzie Manning - see Ward et al. “Project Real Talk: Health Awareness Service Project – The Six Steps to Strength” (session 5) Xhuliano Marku - “The Future of Digital Payments: Exploring Cashless Economies and the Potential to Transform Global Banking” (session 13) This research focuses on the future of digital payments and the potential of fully cashless economies. There has been a very fast evolution of payment systems in the last few years, from cash to checks, to credit/debit cards, to more recent online transfers, contactless payments, digital wallets, and finally cryptocurrency technologies. The problem that has emerged is that, in today’s economy, there is a need for faster, cheaper, and more efficient transactions, especially cross-border international transactions, which are very expensive, take days, and involve many intermediaries. This research explores the opportunity of cryptocurrencies, in particular XRP from the company Ripple, to replace traditional systems like the SWIFT code. Transactions through XRP are very cheap, costing only a few cents, and extremely fast, with no need for intermediaries, as everything happens on the blockchain. Ultimately, this research explores a case study: Albania. Albania’s prime minister has declared the goal for the country to become fully cashless by 2030. This research examines the opportunities and risks of this approach. Additionally, a survey was conducted in both Albania and the United States, covering all demographics from younger to older generations, to better understand people’s opinions on cashless economies and cryptocurrencies as a replacement for traditional systems. Luyando Masocha - “Flow Chemistry and the Production of Photolabile Prodrugs Targeting Cancer Stem Cells” (poster session I) In order to treat cancer stem cell niches specifically while causing the least amount of damage to surrounding tissues, photolabile prodrugs are made to release their toxic components when exposed to particular light. With an emphasis on micro-reactors, coil reactors, and LED-lit tubular configurations created for the production of photo-caged therapeutics, this review explores
