Teaching To The Technological Demands Of The 21st-Century Classroom, Michelle Trainor
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Learners of the 21st century are met with the need to collaborate, problem solve, critically think, and synthesize various sources of information. Simultaneously, teachers and learners are expected to utilize rapidly evolving digital technologies as tools to make teaching and learning more effective. As digital technologies become increasingly prominent in K-12 classrooms, the question becomes: in what ways are preservice teachers learning to teach to the technological demands of the 21st-century classroom? Dr. Punya Mishra and Dr. Matthew J Koehler of Michigan State University propose the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework as a means for effective technology …

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The aim of my project was to use intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence to monitor the denaturation pathway of a protein, specifically the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme Rv0045c. The larger scientific goal and inspiration for this honors thesis was to use the amino acid residues of a protein to map it's unfolding by thermal denaturation.
Characterization Of Putative Defense Genes In Nonvascular Plants, Blaine Harlan
Characterization Of Putative Defense Genes In Nonvascular Plants, Blaine Harlan
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Vascular plants have many known defenses against herbivory and pathogen infection. One inducible defense system that has been extensively studied in vascular plants is systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which is a plant-wide response that results in resistance to a wide range of pathogens Many genes that play a role in SAR have been characterized. Although several studies of plant-pathogen interactions in non-vascular plants have occurred, it was not until recently that the existence of SAR was shown in these plants. The goal of the present study was to confirm the presence of homologous defense genes in moss, and to study …
Exploring Community Engagement In The Indianapolis Opera Scene, Nicole Vasconi
Exploring Community Engagement In The Indianapolis Opera Scene, Nicole Vasconi
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Despite its long history, the majority of today's society no longer holds this art form in such high regard. This is especially true for American culture, where opera companies are operating amidst a tumultuous time of foreclosures. The reasons for opera's continued decline in popularity among American audiences is a hotly debated topic for music historians and administrators, but the fact remains that the general public who once regarded opera as popular entertainment now rejects it as paltry and pointless. It is too Like many contemporary American opera companies, Indianapolis Opera and easy to cite the operas themselves as the …

Witnesses To Trauma: Kakfa's Trauma Victims And The Working Through Process, Emily Allison Kile
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
In "The Metamorphosis" and "The Hunger Artist," Kafka has gifted us with two characters who, in Kafkaesque fashion, "pay a terrible price when, willingly or not, [they go] against 'nature, '" as Joachim Neugroschel writes in the introduction to his translation of The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and Other Stories (Kafka xix). Gregor awakes one morning to discover that he has been turned into a giant vermin, and the hunger artist attempts to cope with his tragedy of not enjoying the taste of food by putting himself on public display, likening his role in society to that of a …
The Ebb And Flow Of Performance Feedback, Chris Thompson
The Ebb And Flow Of Performance Feedback, Chris Thompson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Researchers have suggested differences between mindfulness and flow in their attentional breadth or focus. Being high or low in attentional breadth is more desirable depending on the situation or the focal task. I sought to better understand mindfulness and flow by seeing how they lessen negative emotional reactions to negative feedback, a process which can hinder performance improvement. In a laboratory experiment 92 Butler University undergraduate students underwent a Tetris performance task; where all participants received the same negative feedback. Measuring for emotional reactions and interest after the negative feedback I did not find significant findings in light of my …
Effects Of Accurate And Inflated Employee Performance Self-Evaluations On Memory Accuracy, Michelle E. Miller
Effects Of Accurate And Inflated Employee Performance Self-Evaluations On Memory Accuracy, Michelle E. Miller
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Previous research has emphasized the value of carrying out performance appraisals at work. Both employers and employees can benefit from utilizing such measurement tools (Huselid, 1995). While conducting performance appraisals is critical to the success of an organization, companies must also be wary of the misinformation effect and the impact it can have on different parts of an appraisal, especially an employee's self-evaluation. Due to the lack of existing research on the memory for self-evaluations, I designed the present study to identify the effects of both accurate and inflated self-evaluations on memories for the original event. After watching a video …
Effects Of Tylenol And Social Rejection On Memory, Karina Ashley Hamamouche
Effects Of Tylenol And Social Rejection On Memory, Karina Ashley Hamamouche
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Individuals tend to describe physical pain and social pain with the same terminology (DeWall & Baumeister, 2006; Eisenberger, et aI., 2003; Way, et aI., 2009). There is a neurobiological overlap between the systems that control physical pain and social pain. During both physical pain and social rejection, the same brain areas (insulae in the central cortical fissure) are active. DeWall (2011) found that individuals who received a dose of acetaminophen had less activity in the bilateral anterior insula and bilateral posterior insula during a social rejection stimulation. Because social rejection also increases memory (Pajkos, et aI., 20 I 1), subjects …
Characterization Of The Role Of Salicylic Acid In Plant-Pathogen Interactions In Moss, Erica Grabinski
Characterization Of The Role Of Salicylic Acid In Plant-Pathogen Interactions In Moss, Erica Grabinski
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The central objective of this project is to explore defense systems that are induced in two moss species, Amblystegium serpens and Physcomitrella patens, upon inoculation with the fungus, Pythium irregulare. In vascular plants, systemic defense is associated with the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA). I hypothesize that when the moss are treated exogenously with SA, the organisms will undergo a systemic defense response, which will involve the induction of defense-related genes and increased resistance to future P. irregulare infection, that is directly correlated with the amount of hormone applied. If the role of SA in plant defense in A. serpens …
Beta-Blockers Act Through Clathrin-Dependent Internalization And Egfr Transactivation To Promote Erk Phosphorylation, Taiwo Ajumobi
Beta-Blockers Act Through Clathrin-Dependent Internalization And Egfr Transactivation To Promote Erk Phosphorylation, Taiwo Ajumobi
Graduate Thesis Collection
For cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, angina pectoris, and left ventricle hypertrophy; long-term activation of beta-adrenergic receptors is strongly linked to the progression of these diseases. A class of antagonistic drugs that target betaadrenergic receptors are collectively called beta-blockers. These drugs are commonly used to reduce the inotropic and chronotropic effects of beta-adrenergic receptor activation. This past decade has revealed that beta-blockers and other ligands are capable of functional selectivity at receptors. Functional selectivity describes the ability of ligands acting at 0 protein-coupled receptors (OPCRs) to preferentially activate or inhibit different signal transduction pathways. The studies on beta-adrenergic …
Unigov: The Indianapolis Response To Urban Sprawl, Maxwell Hackman
Unigov: The Indianapolis Response To Urban Sprawl, Maxwell Hackman
Graduate Thesis Collection
Unigov is one of the most significant pieces of legislation in Indianapolis and Indiana history. In the often times hostile environment of Indiana politics it is nothing short of a miracle that the leaders in the Republican Party were able to get the Unigov bill approved and have it be as successful for the city as it has been. Unigov also created a modern day political machine for the Republican Party of Indianapolis. The new city of Indianapolis under the leadership of Republican Mayors Richard Lugar and William Hudnut has earned national name recognition on the convention circuit and for …
The Effects Of Mood On Exhibiting And Experiencing Counterproductive Workplace Behaviors And Organizational Citizenship Behaviors From The Perspectives Of Faculty, Staff, And Students, Alaina Rodriguez
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
We examined the extent to which counterproductive workplace behaviors and organizational citizenship behaviors were mood-contingent in a university sample. Sixty-four employees and thirty-nine students participated in online surveys measuring job affective well-being, organizational constraints, internal locus of control, interpersonal conflict at work, mood, counterproductive workplace behaviors (CWBs), and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Mood did not significantly predict OCBs, but students were more likely to engage in CWBs than were employees. The longer an individual was associated with the university, the more OCBs they exhibited, and organizational constraints significantly predicted CWBs. Factors potentially influencing these results are discussed.
Verbal Overshadowing And The Effects Of Earwitness Testimony On The Likelihood Of Correct Identification Of Target Voices, John P. Buckley Iii
Verbal Overshadowing And The Effects Of Earwitness Testimony On The Likelihood Of Correct Identification Of Target Voices, John P. Buckley Iii
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Verbal overshadowing is the process by which verbalizing memory interferes with the original memory (Schooler & Engstler-Schooler, 1990). While verbal overshadowing is robust with eyewitness events, it is not a definite occurrence. However, can verbal overshadowing affect memories of auditory information? Previous research on earwitness testimony has shown a verbal overshadowing effect in which the ability to accurately identify a witness's voice is impaired after verbally describing the voice participants heard (Perfect, Hunt, & Harris, 2002). I examined how voice lineup identification may be influenced by verbally describing a presented voice, a nonpresented voice, or an unrelated event. Results did …
The Recovered Businesses Of Argentina: Identities In An Imagined Country, Martha Claire Leuthner
The Recovered Businesses Of Argentina: Identities In An Imagined Country, Martha Claire Leuthner
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Protest, mobilization, recovery, assembly, and communal revolution. Surviving through their country's massive economic crisis of2001, Argentineans learned to use their creative resourcefulness to take over recently debilitated factories and maintain their jobs. As they saw their hours cut, monetary livelihoods taken away from them, and no other jobs to tum to in such an economic downturn, Argentine workers mobilized and assembled together to take over their failing workplaces, and build it up themselves. They proved the potential of workers activism by transforming their previous work sites into ones without bosses-led by the community of workers, with guaranteed pay and treatment, …
Protecting The Fairer Sex: Indiana's Failure To Improve The Lives Of Working Women, Abigail Neuman
Protecting The Fairer Sex: Indiana's Failure To Improve The Lives Of Working Women, Abigail Neuman
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
"Protecting the Fairer Sex" explores the refusal of Indiana lawmakers to place the well-being of their working women above "a can of corn," an accusation that was made by one state representative early in the legislative discussions.7 It investigates how the legislators knew nothing would come of protective legislation in the state, regardless of their fake expressions of concern. My work tells the story of how Indiana women were pushed to the periphery of a state that prided itself on its seemingly progressive nature.
The Influence Of Light On Bryophytes And Their Response To Pathogen Infection: A Story Of Mnium Cuspidatum And Physcomitrella Patens, Bryce James Fawcett
The Influence Of Light On Bryophytes And Their Response To Pathogen Infection: A Story Of Mnium Cuspidatum And Physcomitrella Patens, Bryce James Fawcett
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The influence of light on non-vascular plant-pathogen interactions were studied in two moss species, Mnium cuspidatum and Physcomitrella patens, using a fungal pathogen, Pythium irregulare, and a commonly used pathogenic elicitor (beta-glucan). The findings of this study suggest that light does playa role in moss defense but speci fic mechanisms remain unclear. In P. patens it was found that the defense gene AOe was up-regulated in the light compared to the dark when treated with beta-glucan elicitor. A phenotypic study of M. cuspidatum revealed that P. irregulare will infect and M cuspidatum will subsequently mount a defense response. Unexpectedly, samples …
