a nucleophilic substitution, followed by a Staudinger reduction, concluding with hydrolysis to form the final product. The reaction is chemoselective which allows it to have many uses in biomedical research and drug making. Using multiple primary sources from 2020 and later this presentation will explain the significance of biorthogonal reactions in a biomedical scope. These sources will provide relevant background information and figures to support the main thesis of the presentation. The sources will show how the reactions have already been used to complete in vivo imaging, cancer treatment, biomolecule labeling, and assist in the design of new drugs. Bioorthogonal reactions are able to be used in these applications because they are more predictable than other reactions because of their nature and their ability to add and subtract molecules from other biological molecules. Biorthogonal reactions are useful chemoselective reactions that allow for a wide range of possibilities. Georgia Price - “How Does Dehumanization within Medical Trials Affect Patient Decision, Trust and Maintenance of Ethical Responsibility, Particularly in Regards to the Involvement of Vulnerable Groups?” (poster session I) This study researches dehumanization within medical trials which is a commonly faced ethical issue within research, especially when vulnerable groups are involved. Although strict ethical guidelines and structures are implemented into modern research trials, ethical responsibilities can be easily neglected and handled with less than proper care. This often includes instances of: pressuring patient decisions, insufficient informed consent and a higher importance placed on data collection than patient dignity and well-being. The objective of this study is to determine how dehumanization presents itself within medical trials and the ways in which it is correctly and incorrectly handled. I will examine the effects that this can have on patients involved in medical trials and their trust in medical professionals. This analysis uses second hand research, such as qualitative interview data from participants involved in medical trials and data from trial protocols, in order to discover how present dehumanization actually is within medical trials and the consequences that can follow. Research into possible dehumanization and addressing this problem is vital to continually improving ethical frameworks within medical trials as well as helping to improve the validity of results obtained. Yaneli Puga - see Ward et al. “Project Real Talk: Health Awareness Service Project – The Six Steps to Strength” (session 5) Ethan Quarchioni - “Living Next Door to Atrocity: Dehumanization in The Zone of Interest” (poster session II) This research project explores how the film ‘the zone of interest’ depicts dehumanization via various techniques
while also exploring its effect on moral perception. Violence isn’t directly brought to the screen; instead, the film follows Rudolf Hoss and his family through daily life, living just outside Auschwitz, with the reality of genocide not to be seen but always heard. Through this off screen sound, still shots and emotional detachment, the film is able to create a place where suffering can be ‘normalised’ or invisible with daily routines. Hannah Arendt’s analysis in the “banality of evil” argues that such dehumanization stems not just through cruelty but through distance and habitual disregard which is the key message from this film. The rare appearance of victims creates this erasure, all the while the audience are positioned as observers and mirror the moral disengagement from the characters. This poster argues that the film’s objective was to ask viewers to confront how easily moral awareness can truly be diminished and to also suggest dehumanization is not only sustained by evil, but by those who choose not to see. Ana Rendón - “The Impact of Coach-Athlete Relationship Quality on Pressure (poster session II) This research aims to examine the impact of the quality of the coach-athlete relationship on pressure management and stress levels of college student-athletes. Student-athletes in college are confronted with the demands of achieving academic standards and performing optimally in sports, thus necessitating a critical examination of psychological well-being. Previous studies have demonstrated that a strong, committed, and complementary coach-athlete relationship is instrumental in promoting the mental health and stress relief of student-athletes. However, few studies have sought to establish the relationship between the coach-athlete relationship and pressure management, as well as stress levels. This research is guided by a hypothetical framework that a strong coach- athlete relationship is positively correlated with pressure management and low stress levels. A correlational research design will be used for this study, where 100 college student-athletes between the ages of 18 and 24 will be recruited from Missouri Valley College. The participants will be administered an online survey consisting of three instruments: the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and a Pressure Management Scale (PMS), which will be developed by the researcher. This research is likely to make a critical contribution to the body of knowledge in sport psychology. Matthew Renfrow - “Mitigating the Dangers of Sex Work” (poster session II) Sex work has been around for as long as people have been around. It’s been a profession for thousands of years, and rarely discussed. Sex is a part of life, and so is sex work for many people. This paper will explore sex work as a profession and mitigate the dangers surrounding it. Studies show the relationship between drugs, violence, and other illicit activities associated with sex work.
