Drew Peterson - “Lifestyle Factors That May Be Predictors of Alcohol, Tobacco, and/or Opioid Abuse” (poster session) Alcohol, tobacco, and opioids have affected a lot of people in the past, as well as in today’s society. These substances can also be very addictive in nature, which can have a massive impact on someone’s personal health, as well as the health of their relationships. In this study, the goal was to figure out what possible lifestyle factors could possibly be predictors of abuse of these substances. This study was conducted as a survey using the Google Forms software. This survey consisted of 42 questions that were sent out via email to Missouri Valley College students. After the data was collected, the Jamovi software was used to calculate the relationships between the data. The results will be discussed on the poster. The key to preventing negative lifestyle habits is knowing what causes them. This data has brought us one step closer to finding a solution. Camden Phillips - Debate Showcase (session 18) Camden Phillips - “The Price of an Atom: Analysis of US Sanctions on Russian Uranium” (poster session) As western nations seek to transition their economies away from Russian oil and gas, the United States Congress is considering sanctioning the import of unirradiated low-enriched Russian uranium. As the US imports 20% of its uranium supply from Russia, the present Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act poses substantial questions to the future of the American nuclear industry. Here, I analyze the potential effects of uranium sanctions to the domestic nuclear market, and introduce alternative strategies that can allow the US to regain its competitive edge. Camden Phillips - “Weaponitis: Modern Strains of an Age-Old Disease” (session 13) The United States has fostered a distinct culture surrounding an arms-centered foreign policy over the past century, utilizing arms control and regulation to nurture conflicts deemed to fit a more “humane” national security paradigm. Today, arms control and regulation seek to limit specific mechanisms of war by otherizing and controlling “inhumane” weapons. This political obsession with weapons as a cause of instability and insecurity is a lingering infection that serves to distract energy onto the techniques of militarism rather than the system itself, retrenching cycles of violence and conflict. Here, I analyze the evolution and integration of weaponitis in counterterrorism, nuclear strategy, and AI warfare. Rubal Pradhan - “The Wonders of ChatGPT: An Investigation into its Human-Like Responses” (session 12) This project explores the question "What is the secret behind the inner workings of ChatGPT and how has it impacted the world so far?" In this project, I aim to explain how ChatGPT works and the underlying mechanism behind every decision it makes while trying to bring up answers and solutions for its users. Along with that, I will also be discussing the implications of this AI in our lives and how it will have an impact on us with its ever-increasing usage. Finally, I will be conveying my personal opinions about the ChatGPT and how I have used the AI so far.
