Insulin Administration In Hospitalized Diabetics: A Quality Improvement Project, Annalee Combes, Dylan Fraley, Emily Cobb, Emily Byrd, Tess Reuhermund, Amanda Isele, Kailey Ansell, Mary White

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Insulin, naturally produced in the human body, is used in the treatment of diabetic patients. It is often given incorrectly resulting in a medication error. Around one-third of medication errors resulting in death within 48 hours involve insulin therapy. Insulin is expensive and many patients cannot afford the insulin they need which results in underdosing. Improper administration of insulin was observed during a clinical rotation at a large, urban teaching hospital. There is a need for evidence-based research to identify methods of improved insulin use. A thorough literature review was done on the topic of insulin administration. Common themes that …

A Comparative Analysis Of Japan And United States School Lunch Programs, Julie Phillips

Honors Theses

Question: Are school lunch policies and programs in Japan beneficial and applicable to the United States?

Main points: Japan has a certification program that allows dietitians to teach nutrition. Japan also includes agricultural experiences as part of its academic curriculum to promote holistic development in students.

Conclusion: The School Lunch program in the United States would benefit from providing an avenue through which dietitians are able to teach students nutrition and from increasing the number of schools involved in Farm to School so that more students have experiences with nature.

The Role Of Emotions In Qualitative Analysis: Researchers’ Perspectives, Hilary Lustick, Xiaoye Yang, Abeer Hakouz

The Qualitative Report

Qualitative research is an inherently social and relational endeavor that relies on and engages our emotions. Yet, researchers receive little guidance on how to engage emotions without being swayed by personal biases. Lustick (2021) developed a framework called “emotion coding” for systematically engaging thoughts and emotions in qualitative data analysis by asking what a chunk of data can teach us about ourselves, our participants, and our study. In this study, we interviewed 15 researchers who had tried using the emotion coding technique, about their impressions of this technique and the role of emotion in qualitative research overall. Framed by Goffman …

A Strategic Evaluation Of Educational Continuity For Accessibility During Uncertainty In An Educational Practicum, Mathew Nicho, Hussein Fakhry, Emad Bataineh, Shini Girija

Students from economically disadvantaged nations (EDN) face significant challenges in accessing high-quality education and securing global internships due to inadequate resources, funding, and infrastructure. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential of online platforms for providing accessible, remote education and internship opportunities, aligning with UNESCO's sustainability education objectives. Using the SWOT analysis tool within the context of the experiential learning-driven integrated reflective cycle model (IRC), the research compares onsite and online internship types in higher education to identify areas where interventions can be applied to enhance the online internship experience. The study analyzed 42 interns, both on-site (OSIs) and online …

Reproductive Cycle Of The Highland Shiner (Notropis Micropteryx) In Rockcastle County, Kentucky, Zoe Baker, Caitlyn Senters, David J. Eisenhour

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Highland Shiner, Notropis micropteryx, is a minnow species common in the Green, Cumberland, and Tennessee river drainages and usually inhabits rocky riffles (Eisenhour and Eisenhour 2004). Despite the Highland Shiner's prevalence in this area, little published information exists describing the life history of this minnow species. Although N micropteryx is a small fish, attention must be given to its biology, as changes in its abundance are likely to affect other members of its aquatic community. Population and life cycle fluctuations can also be a reliable indicator of greater ecosystem health.

Predicting The Reactions Of Cs2 ,Ocs, And Co2 With Group Iv And Group Vi Transition Metal Oxides, Marissa Blair, David A. Dixon, Zachary R. Lee

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Overview:

• Electronic structure methods are being used to study the addition of CS2. OCS and CO2 to Group IV (MO2)n and Group VI (MO3)n (n = 1, 2, 3) nanoclusters, beginning with the MO2 and MO3 monomers according to a "bottom-up" approach.

• Physisorption is a process in which molecules bind through Van der Waals interactions. The enthalpies of these reactions are rather low, and these interactions are usually favored at lower temperatures.

• Chemisorption is adsorption in which chemical bonds are broken and/or formed therefore, an entirely new chemical species is formed.

• CS2 OCS and CO2 absorbed …

Growth And Reproduction Of The Popeye Shiner (Notropis Ariommus) In The Rockcastle River, Kentucky, Shelbie Black, Jared Vise, David J. Eisenhour

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

The Popeye Shiner (Notropis ariommus) occupies gravel runs and flowing pools of clear creeks and small rivers throughout the Ohio River basin, but has declined in many areas. The Popeye Shiner is a small silvery minnow with characteristically large eyes (Figure 1). Despite being a candidate for the endangered species list (Department of the Interior, 2011 ), little life-history data have been published, which are needed to make conservation management decisions.

Notropis ariommus is categorized by the American Fisheries Society as a vulnerable minnow species (Warren et al, 2000). These fishes were previously known from Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, but …

Examining The Relationship Between Gender And Anxiety Levels, Lacey Estep, Monica Himes

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Anxiety is a prevalent problem in our society, and it negatively affects many adults in the United States every year. The National Health Survey, which was conducted in 2019, found that 15.6% of adults experienced anxiety symptoms within the past two weeks of when the survey was given (Terlizzi & Villarroel, 2019). That means that approximately 1 in 6 adults aged 18 and over in the United States are experiencing psychological impairment. This large population of adult Americans experiencing anxiety raises the curiosity about the factors that play a role in anxiety, including whether or not gender has an effect …

Miocene Fungi From The Amazonas Region Of Peru: Preliminary Paleoclimatic And Paleoecological Reconstructions, Liberty F. Smallwood, Olivia Vander Espt, Christopher A. Marsh, Maggie E. Alden, Juan Filipe Montenegro, Diana Ochoa, Matthew J. Pound, Jennifer M. K. O’Keefe

2024 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations

Miocene sediments in the western Amazonas region record a unique mega-wetland ecosystem known as the Pebas System. This system existed under wetter and warmer than present conditions, prior to the final Andean uplift. Though the palynological record in the region has been studied extensively, fungal diversity remains poorly explored. Fungal remains from the Brazilian Amazonas have been identified to form-taxa only, without providing ecological or paleoclimatic information. We examine fossil-rich sediments from northeastern Peru that were deposited ca. 16.5 Ma, and therefore document the Miocene Climate Optimum warming. Here, the Fungi in a Warmer World (FIAWW) team applies the nearest …

The Embodied Experience Of Adult Educators, Heather Drew Francis

Theses and Dissertations

This interview study investigates the embodied experiences of adult educators, exploring how they perceive and utilize bodily knowledge in their instructional practice. Through interviews and observations with five adult educators, the study highlights challenges in articulating the role of physical experiences in teaching. The study reveals four major themes: (a) participants perceive or approach instruction as a performance, engaging with various performance tools like voice, sound, proximity, and posture to impact content delivery and classroom management; (b) bodily knowledge informs the educator's improvisational skills as they receive sensory input and adapt to student and environmental cues during teaching; (c) while …
