Self-efficacy is an important factor for job success, but it has been cited as a missing factor in new athletic training graduates. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find what factors affect the development of self-efficacy in the recently graduated certified athletic trainer. A qualitative survey method was utilized that involved questions aimed to extract as much personal opinion and experiences as possible. Online surveys were sent out electronically to 1,000 prospective participants. A total of 64 survey responses were received but only 52 surveys were qualified for inclusion into the study. Data was collected via the online …

Microstructures Produced By Hadrosaur Bones From Alaska And Wyoming, Mark P. Guilliams, Samantha J. Lefaive, Michael D. Sprague
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Since 2005 when Dr. Mary Schweitzer made the first discovery, microstructures with the appearance of “osteocytes” and “blood vessels” have been recovered from fossils of various localities, dating back as far as the Triassic. The majority of these finds have come from dense, cortical bone but recently have been discovered in cancellous bone. Since her initial discovery, Schweitzer has done a lot of work to verify that these microstructures are not biofilms, but instead are original organic tissue. This project was looking to get similar results to Schweitzer’s research and to find a simple test method for the initial discovery …

Relations Between Stream Chemistry, Fish Diversity, And Land Use In The Upper Little Miami Watershed, Connor J. Gilmour, Randy Howell, David Paulding, Charles W. Reynolds, Mark A. Gathany
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Streams are susceptible to numerous threats to their water quality and biodiversity. In southwest Ohio a major driver of these impacts is associated with current agricultural practices and associated legacy effects. These structural and chemical impacts are known to affect biodiversity in these streams. The objective of this study was to document and examine relationships among land-use/land cover, stream chemistry, and fish diversity in the headwaters streams of the Little Miami Watershed. Three streams (Little Miami River, Massies Creek - North Fork, and Massies Creek - South Fork) were sampled in the upper headwaters as well as downstream. Air and …
Further Biochemical Evidence For Secretion Of A Netrin-1 Like Protein From Tetrahymena Thermophila, Matthew S. Merical, Heather G. Kuruvilla
Further Biochemical Evidence For Secretion Of A Netrin-1 Like Protein From Tetrahymena Thermophila, Matthew S. Merical, Heather G. Kuruvilla
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Netrin-1 is a pleiotropic signaling molecule first characterized in its role as an axonal guidance molecule. Since then, additional physiological roles for netrin-1 have been found, implicating netrin signaling in processes such as angiogenesis and tumor progression. Netrins are expressed throughout the animal kingdom. We have previously found that Tetrahymena thermophila show avoidance to netrin-1 peptide, and that secreted proteins from Tetrahymena show evidence of netrin-1 activity when assayed by ELISA. In our current study, Western blotting using a polyclonal antibody against netrin-1 showed that a protein of approximately 52 kDa was present in both whole cell extract and secreted …

Sjögren’s Syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the exocrine glands and is characterized by severe dry eyes and mouth. Previous studies have shown that there are elevated levels of the microRNA miR-146a in Sjögren’s patients. Mir-146a is a microRNA that has been found to be involved in down regulating inflammation. Yet, in patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome, there is a large upregulation of miR-146a that exists alongside chronic inflammation. This led us to investigate the role of miR-146a in Sjögren’s Syndrome. We found that miR-146a upregulates phagocytosis of E. coli by human macrophages. Therefore, we hypothesized that this …
Predictive Value Of The Functional Movement Screen As It Relates To Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, Daniel A. Herring, Kyle D. Cherry, Hannah L. Stedge
Predictive Value Of The Functional Movement Screen As It Relates To Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, Daniel A. Herring, Kyle D. Cherry, Hannah L. Stedge
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries occur over 200,000 times annually in the United States alone (Brophy, et al. 2009). This injury strains the healthcare system and affects the players, teams, parents, and the organization they are a part of. There have been, however, clinically researched risk factors that predispose athletes to ACL injury (Gignac, et al. 2015; Laible, et al. 2014). As a result, there is a clinical need for an effective screening tool to identify those athletes at risk for ACL injury. The Functional Movement Screen has been shown to be an effective screening tool for detecting athletes who …
A Netrin-3 Like Protein Is Secreted From Tetrahymena Thermophila, John W. Behnke, David M. Dombrowski, Bryce C. Macturk, Matthew S. Merical, Kenneth W. Ward, Lauren E. Ward, Daniel J. Stank, Heather G. Kuruvilla

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Netrin proteins are a family of laminin-related secreted proteins that provide signals for axonal growth and cell migration during vertebrate development. Netrin homologs are expressed throughout the animal kingdom; however, some animals do not express a homolog of any known netrin receptors. We have previously found that the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila, responds to netrin-1 peptide by showing avoidance behavior. In addition, Tetrahymena secrete a protein that is immunologically similar to netrin-1 as detected by ELISA. Since netrin-3, like netrin-1, is a guidance molecule for axons and overlaps signaling pathways with netrin-1 in vertebrates, we hypothesized that netrin-3 may also …
Effects Of Social Support On Compliance In Rehabilitating Athletes, Sarah E. Orr, Hannah L. Stedge
Effects Of Social Support On Compliance In Rehabilitating Athletes, Sarah E. Orr, Hannah L. Stedge
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The purpose of the study was to better understand if social support has an effect at all on the athlete’s compliance in coming in to do their rehabilitation during an injury. Those who participated in this study were from the colleges and universities in the state of Ohio. The participants were collegiate athletes who were in a rehabilitation program for six or more weeks and had returned to play. Of the 56 surveys returned, 18 (32.14%) of those were fully completed, and nine (16.07%) of those, consisting of seven (77.78%) females and two (22.22%) males, met the criteria set. Athletes …

Celiac Disease is a hypersensitive response to gluten caused by HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 T-cell presentation, initiating destruction of intestinal epithelial cells. Studies indicate that an indigestible fragment of the gluten molecule, alpha-gliadin subcomponent 33-mer, rich in proline and glutamine, is responsible for the hypersensitivity response. Determination of 33 mer concentration in wheat lines would be beneficial to future development of wheat lines with reduced 33 mer concentration. Protein from wheat flour was extracted and subjected to western blot in order to quantify the concentration of 33-mer. This will be a valuable tool for future research efforts focused on identification and …

Nutritional Knowledge Among Athletic Teams, Hannah F. Gualtieri, Ellen L. Thompson, Hannah L. Stedge
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The topic of sports nutrition has often been undermined in the athletic world. Practicing good nutritional habits has the ability to both improve performance and health. Several studies have examined nutritional knowledge among athletic teams; however very few have compared this knowledge among athletic teams. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of various athletes’ nutritional knowledge and evaluate the differences in this knowledge among NCAA Division II Athletic teams. A secondary purpose was to discover athlete’s confidence level in their nutritional knowledge as well as gain their opinion on how they would improve nutritional knowledge among …
