Analysis Of The Osteopathology In A Captive-Born Spectacled Bear, Savannah Vaz
Analysis Of The Osteopathology In A Captive-Born Spectacled Bear, Savannah Vaz
Georgia College Student Research Events
Osseous tissue contains the preserved record of an organism’s diseases and injuries that can be uncovered by examination of the present skeletal abnormalities. This study provides a thorough inspection of osteopathology and its etiology in a modern ursid with a known medical history. The skeletal remains of a captive-born spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) were analysed for gross pathologies that manifested during the life of the animal. All observed osteopathologies were correlated with diseases experienced in the life of the individual, most of which were age-related. However, pythiosis, the grounds for his euthanization, may have contributed to some of the pathologies …
The Gut Brain Connection: Does Our Diet Affect Our Mood?, Rachel Miller
The Gut Brain Connection: Does Our Diet Affect Our Mood?, Rachel Miller
Georgia College Student Research Events
Recent research studies have revealed that there is validity to the claim that “you are what you eat”. In fact, emerging science suggests that there is evidence supporting that eating a nutrient dense healthy diet impacts one’s mental health. The goal of this research is to explore how the foods we consume affect our emotions. More specifically this poster focuses on the gut-brain connection and how individuals with depression are impacted by their food choices. To investigate the link between nutrition and depression, a literature review of three prominent research articles was completed. The articles examined include A modified Mediterranean …
The Ingredients Of Scientific Illiteracy, Marghuerite Crowell
The Ingredients Of Scientific Illiteracy, Marghuerite Crowell
Georgia College Student Research Events
As technology and medicine flourish in 21st century America through science, so does fear and opposition. This fear and opposition stems from the lack of an individuals understanding or education in the scientific field; simply called “Scientific Illiteracy”. Pressing issues involved with scientific illiteracy include vaccination, climate change, and evolution. Through extensive research in reading scientific papers, political pieces, statistics, and referencing other’s expertise, the culprits of this phenomenon prove to surpass just a lack of scientific education. Scientific Illiteracy forms from people’s religion, politics, core beliefs, and emotions. “Anti-vaxxers” lack of education of the chemical makeup of vaccines, prompts …
Supercavitation Capabilities On A Submarine, Adam Vu
Supercavitation Capabilities On A Submarine, Adam Vu
Georgia College Student Research Events
Submarines have shaped the way wars have been fought and have been influential in our understanding of fluid dynamics. In the past, supercavitation has been implemented to an idea that has been used to significantly increase the velocity of torpedoes in Chinese and Russian submarines. An example of this is the Russian VA-111 Shkval torpedo. The idea being that if your torpedo is expelling a gas out of the nose cone region, creating a boundary layer between the water and the torpedo, the torpedo will be facing much less resistance relative to when it was traveling in water alone. This …
Effects Of Yoga On Perceived Stress Level And Cognitive Ability In College-Aged Females, Faith Flanders, Rachel V. Taylor, Lauren Willams, Delaney Lister, Allison Esposito
Effects Of Yoga On Perceived Stress Level And Cognitive Ability In College-Aged Females, Faith Flanders, Rachel V. Taylor, Lauren Willams, Delaney Lister, Allison Esposito
Georgia College Student Research Events
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if perceived stress levels and response inhibition scores (measure of cognitive function) differ in female college students who regularly participate in yoga compared to female college students who do not. Methods: College-aged females ranging from 19-24 years of age were recruited to participate in this study. Subjects filled out a personal information sheet followed by a perceived stress level questionnaire to measure the amount of yoga each participant performed and assess their perceived stress level, respectively. Response inhibition and accuracy (cognitive function) were measured via a computerized Stroop Effect test consisting …
Implementing A Home-Based Blood Pressure Monitoring Program To Improve Hypertension Management, Nicole S. Bello
Implementing A Home-Based Blood Pressure Monitoring Program To Improve Hypertension Management, Nicole S. Bello
Georgia College Student Research Events
Hypertension is a major problem in the United States. It is critical to identify effective strategies to treat and manage hypertension. An experimental design was utilized to determine the effectiveness of home-based blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) in the management of prehypertension, newly diagnosed, or uncontrolled hypertension. A randomized convenience sample of 20 adults was recruited into a control (n=9) and experimental (n=11) group. The translational care project was conducted over 60 days where participants measured their blood pressures as instructed for the intervention and control groups. An independent t-test was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of HBPM on the participants’ …
Benefits Of Having A Pet At College: Perception Of Today’S College Students, Morgan Jenkins
Benefits Of Having A Pet At College: Perception Of Today’S College Students, Morgan Jenkins
Georgia College Student Research Events
The present literature review examined data from 10 studies that examined the benefits of pet therapy and well-being. Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of nursing, recognized these benefits in the early 1800s when she used animals to provide support to mentally ill patients. Since then, pets, but mainly dogs, have been used across various populations and in numerous settings such as with geriatrics in nursing homes, in disaster relief, with war veterans suffering from PTSD, with inmates in correctional facilities, with terminal patients in hospice care, and with pediatric patients in the hospital setting. In all of these scenarios, findings suggest …

Effects Of Interval Training On Memory Function, In College Students, Matthew Young, Jennifer Spencer, Lisa Schick
Effects Of Interval Training On Memory Function, In College Students, Matthew Young, Jennifer Spencer, Lisa Schick
Georgia College Student Research Events
The purpose of this study was to further investigate if exercise in the form of moderate intensity interval training influences memory function. While past studies have shown cognitive function improvements prior to both acute continuous moderate intensity exercise and high intensity interval training, no studies have been conducted to explore the effects of high intensity interval training on cognitive function. These previous studies also used a different method of measurement, a Stroop test, to measure cognitive function. This method is significantly different than the word recall test used in this study, which was designed to specifically assess cognitive function in …
