Diabetic Foot Ulcers And Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment, Libbie Sobieski
Diabetic Foot Ulcers And Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment, Libbie Sobieski
Summer Interdisciplinary Research Symposium
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers are a commonly occurring condition in patients with diabetes. They are often difficult to treat and may result in adverse events including serious infection and need for amputation. The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers compared to standard treatment. Methods: To determine the best method of treatment in adults, a search was conducted through the Valparaiso University online library catalog utilizing peer-reviewed articles regarding treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with HBOT within the last ten years. Results: The following …

Professional Confidence In The Work Place, Tahelah E. Noel
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
Self-confidence is something that can change quite regularly depending on the setting. Studies have shown that those in a familiar environment or group tend to feel more confident than those in new environments. Working and professional environments can change the way others perceive themselves. This study aims to explore ways to increase professional confidence in a working environment. By using a single-subject design, data was collected by the subject for eight weeks. During the first two weeks, the study took a questionnaire that assessed confidence using a Likert Scale questionnaire without using any interventions. For the next six weeks, the …

A Theoretical Investigation Into Warp Fields, Warp Drive And Warp Propulsion, William Bakke
Fall Interdisciplinary Research Symposium
It can be shown, within the confines of General and Special Relativity, that a ship could travel faster than the speed of Light if it uses the proper methods to do so. This is possible within G/S Relativity due to the fact that Space-Time can affect the way that baryonic matter moves. Therefore, one can surmise that it would be theoretically possible to use Space-Time to make a ship travel faster than Light. In order to do this, a ‘Warp Bubble’ must be created. In essence, a Warp Bubble is an area (volume) of normal Space-Time that is surrounded by …
Effective Sincerity: On Catholic Private Prayer And The Poetry Of Mary Karr, Emily Neuharth
Effective Sincerity: On Catholic Private Prayer And The Poetry Of Mary Karr, Emily Neuharth
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
This paper questions the assumed theological and literary division between seventeenth century poet Ben Jonson and contemporary poet Mary Karr. Jonson’s poetry depicts a Catholic relationship with God as traditionally uncomplicated and therefore unrealistic, where Karr’s poetry is theologically atypical and might even be considered obscene. This paper argues that Karr’s poetry is similar to Jonson’s in that they are both influenced by the traditional elements of private prayer: confession, invocation and thanksgiving. Despite these shared elements, the poets diverge when evaluating the effectiveness of their interpretations of Catholic prayer form. This paper explores where prayer and poetry overlap through …

Synthesis Of An Unnatural Fluorescent Amino Acid, Cody Steel, Thomas Goyne, Leena Aljobeh, Yeongseo An, Bill Trimoski
Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
"The goal of this project is to chemically synthesize a fluorescent amino acid that will later be used as a glow-in-the-dark building block for proteins. The resulting glow-in-the-dark proteins are of great value to biologists because fluorescent microscopy can then be used to observe the protein’s spatial and temporal location within a living cell. The specific objective of this project is to synthesize the phthalimide-based environment-sensitive fluorescent amino acid shown in the equation below. We have synthesized and coupled the two building blocks, and have characterized the coupled product by liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic …
