A Hypothetical Experiment For The Relationship Between The Menstrual Cycle And Ffa Release, Ricardo Sanchez, Adam Grimmitt
A Hypothetical Experiment For The Relationship Between The Menstrual Cycle And Ffa Release, Ricardo Sanchez, Adam Grimmitt
IdeaFest 2021
HYPOTHETICAL: Sex hormones estrogen and progesterone have been hypothesized to impact FFA release. While these two hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, basal rates of FFA release are similar between menstrual cycle phases. Specifically, when looking at the early follicular (EF) and mid luteal (ML) phases, there is differences in plasma or intramuscular FFA release. However, the phase in which estrogen is at its highest and progesterone is at its lowest (late follicular [LF]) has been minimally studied. Additionally, the dynamics of FFA release might vary in non-resting conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in FFA …
The Impacts Of Soy On Patients With Hyperthyroidism, Kelly Wheelock, Jake Smith
The Impacts Of Soy On Patients With Hyperthyroidism, Kelly Wheelock, Jake Smith
IdeaFest 2021
Soy has become increasingly popular over the years. There have been both positive and negative benefits to consuming soy known to date. We aimed to show how the consumption of soy, particularly the phytoestrogen isoflavones components, affects patients with hyperthyroidism. Soy isoflavones are similar in both structure and function to human estrogen and can bind to mammalian estrogen receptors. This can create either estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects. Hyperthyroidism is commonly influenced by estrogen activity so our study aimed to show how consuming soy can be beneficial.

The Gravity Lab at Humboldt State is concerned with measuring the force of gravity at unprecedented distance scales. Theories new and old make predictions about how gravity should behave, but accurate measurements of gravitational forces between objects close together have remained challenging. The crux of the experiment lies in sufficiently silencing the non-gravitational forces acting at the measuring site, and accomplishing this requires applying at least a little knowledge from most undergraduate physics classes. The implications of progress in this lab make it exciting to a general audience while remaining beneficial from an undergraduate learning perspective.

The Pitcher Is Throwing Heat: Preference Of Figurative Discourse In Athletes And Non Athletes, Lindsay Anderson, Lynn Haller
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
The use of metaphor is distinctive and evident in every day human language. Previously, we demonstrated that humans easily produce metaphors when prompted. The current investigation explored whether various populations preferred known sport metaphors versus the literal translation. Coaches and players often express their understanding and expectations of sports through non-literal language. Understanding this narrative is effective for athlete's comprehension is essential in improving a team or individual performance. Long ago, Ortony (1975) praised the effectiveness of figurative language as a communication tool. The current study uses those principles to investigate the use of metaphor's validity in a sport context. …

Effects Of The Coronavirus Pandemic On United States Custom Grain And Forage Harvesting’S Labor Supply And The 2020 Harvest, Dalton Black, Jason Holcomb
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
The global coronavirus pandemic disrupted migratory labor around the world, including foreign seasonal labor that travels to the United States to work in the mobile custom grain and forage harvesting industry that operates primarily in Great Plains states. The pandemic caused the United States to implement bans on travel from labor sending countries, and to delay the processing of the H-2A and J-1 visa nonimmigrant visas used by foreign custom grain and forage harvesting employees to enter the US. Many transnational workers were thus delayed or prevented from reporting for jobs that require training before harvest begins in April or …

There are estimated to be 449,334 CAUTI events per year (hospitalsafelygrade). As well, this costs the health care system to the United States Healthcare System which shows that it costs the country an extra 340-370 million every year (Gray et al., 2016). The purpose of this quality improvement project is to determine how to overcome the negative effects that patients experience when receiving catheters (indwelling or external) while in the hospital. Increased catheter rates and infections were noted at an urban teaching hospital which led to the creation of this new protocol guideline.

Kentucky Soldiers At The Battles Of Frenchtown And The River Raisin Massacre, Christian Wright
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
Research on The War of 1812 has been sporadic over the last two hundred years. In spite of the two centuries which have passed, significant gaps in the scholarship remain. Most individuals recognize that Kentucky troops played a major role in the war, but their participation and the number of casualties they suffered remains speculative. American newspaper accounts of the period, written with an eye to sell more copies, may not be accurate as they historically over inflated the number of dead. At the same time, British accounts have a tendency to downplay the numbers of American troops involved for …
