based approaches. By addressing both individual behaviors and classroom practices, students can achieve improved concentration, mental health, academic success, and more meaningful social connections. Janessa Avila - see Riley Howell, “Athletes and Mental Health” (Poster Session I) Tomas Ayapé - “Tiny Habits, Remarkable Results: The Power of Small Changes” (Poster Session II) The tiny actions that we take every single day seem to be insignificant. But over time, it creates long-term changes. In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear explores how tiny changes lead to remarkable results. By building stronger and positive habits and breaking the bad ones, it will change people over time. So, in this Poster titled “Tiny Habits, Remarkable Results: The Power of Small Changes”, I will go through the core principles of James Clear’s analysis. By focusing on how habits work, why we should make tiny changes, the link between cue and reward, the role of our environment, and how we can break our bad habits. This presentation will show some practical ways to add positive and lasting change in our everyday lives. So, by focusing on small improvements and the power of tiny changes, it highlights that success does not require big changes. However, big results often come with small and manageable steps.

The Fed has a dual mandate to promote price stability and maximum employment, which requires balancing multiple economic goals at the same time. Policymakers this year faced challenges such as changes in tariffs, shifts in labor market conditions, and interruptions to government data reporting caused by a government shutdown. These factors affect the Fed’s ability to make timely and informed decisions. The project uses publicly available data from sources such as FRED, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other government datasets to track key indicators, including interest rates, unemployment rates, and inflation. Using charts and visualizations, the project shows how monetary policy decisions interact with labor markets, government actions, and fiscal policy. This poster aims to demonstrate how data visualization can clarify complex economic relationships and make policy trade-offs easier to understand. By presenting current economic indicators and highlighting the challenges of decision-making in a year with incomplete data, the project provides insights into how the Fed navigates uncertainty. Nicholas Belmore - “Placenta Therapy and Its Impact on Wound Healing” (Session 19) The purpose of this systematic review is to question the results of placenta therapy in wound healing, specifically chronic foot ulcers. This researcher often finds patients with chronic, hard- to-heal wounds that have failed to close with standard wound therapy. Unhealed wounds often lead to chronic pain, infection, and sometimes amputation. This researcher had heard of using a placenta-based treatment using the amnion and chorion layers of the placenta that would increase healing rates, reduce inflammation, and provide standard-of-care dressings to still
be used in wound care management. This researcher hopes to create a “Gold Standard” of care for patients who qualify for this type of therapy through the use of this research. This Systematic Review involved gathering information from source documents and scholarly articles. Reviewed studies, meta- analyses, systematic reviews, and controlled groups/trials were all read and reviewed to help answer the topic. Electronic sites such as PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were used as the basis of this project. Research took place over two semesters. Inconsistencies immediately arose in this researcher’s Systematic Review. Many studies utilize different timeframes when testing their clinical groups, or base their results on healing outcomes and not on a timeframe at all. A final inconsistency was the terminology of the name of the biomedical placenta material used in the wounds. By using the systematic process, this researcher can understand what is being used, although it was hard to determine the exact layer of the placenta used in the wound. These inconsistencies are vital components to process organization of standard of care for patients. This researcher still concluded that the use of placenta material decreased healing times as well as healed some wounds considered “unhealable” prior to this methodology. It was also found that no patients had adverse reactions during the application process. Ellie Bennett - “ADHD and the Environment” (Poster Session III) This project is about changing the physical environment of a classroom to help students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I want to focus specifically on seating in classrooms and how it can help students who have issues sitting still. Based on my research, nature is a big help with those types of students. I want to talk about how nature can be incorporated into a classroom setting that is easy and doable for teachers. Research also provided that certain seating arrangements could help students focus better and not be a distraction to others. Different seating arrangements could also help those students who need something to do, not channel that energy into disruptive behavior that results in behavior problems, as a misdiagnosis. Another article describes that the home environment could also help to an earlier diagnosis, which could help in the long run. Braden Best - “The Clean Vehicles Tax Credit” (Poster Session II) This academic research poster will discuss the Clean Vehicles Tax Credit. The Clean Vehicles Tax Credit was a federally designed initiative to help promote the sale and purchase of green energy vehicles. This poster will discuss the tax credits’ ultimate objectives, how successful they were at reaching them, the overall eligibility process, and why they were ultimately done away with by the United States government recently. This poster will also discuss the federal government’s reasoning behind the tax credit and its ultimate economic reasoning from an accounting perspective. This study will look at data directly from the IRS and US accounting firm data on the overall scope and success of the Clean Vehicles Tax Credit. From the perspective of accounting and taxation, this research poster will give an in-depth perspective of the Clean Vehicles Tax Credit, giving a complete view of the objectives of creating clean energy tax credits and their ultimate objective from both a governmental and an accounting view.
