Teaching, Learning, And Assessment: Insights Into Students’ Motivation To Learn, Simon R. Walters, Pedro Silva, Jennifer Nikolai
The Qualitative Report
This study draws upon the perspectives of sport and recreation undergraduate students in New Zealand who were involved in the design of their own assessments, and discusses the implication of the teaching and learning environment on this process. In a previous study, student criticism had emerged of current teaching strategies and assessment methods at their institution. The purpose of this current study was to directly address some of these concerns and for lecturers and students to work collaboratively to develop a more learner-centred teaching and learning environment. Students from a second-year sociology of sport paper were invited to design their …

Exploring Perceptions Of Goodness Among The Malaysian And Chinese University Students: A Focus Group Study, Madiha Hashmi, Moniza Waheed, Ezhar Tamam, Steven E. Krauss Dr., Abdul Muati Ahmad
Exploring Perceptions Of Goodness Among The Malaysian And Chinese University Students: A Focus Group Study, Madiha Hashmi, Moniza Waheed, Ezhar Tamam, Steven E. Krauss Dr., Abdul Muati Ahmad
The Qualitative Report
The notion of goodness is implicitly central to the discourse relating to person perception. To date, no empirical research has focused solely upon understanding the notion of goodness and how it’s perceived and discerned in others. Utilizing focus group interviews, this paper explores how people perceive and interpret goodness in collectivist cultures of Malaysia and China. Findings revealed that Malaysian and Chinese participants had somewhat similar notions about goodness. “Concern for others’ welfare” was found to have the most resonance across the two nationalities as a key element in discerning goodness in others. Another category emerging from the findings was …
Return To Nursing: A Meta-Synthesis Of Academic Bridging Programs’ Effect On Internationally Educated Nurses, Edward V. Cruz, Rhea Faye Felicilda-Reynaldo, C. Patricia Mazzotta

Youtube Integration In Science Classes: Understanding Its Roots, Ways, And Selection Criteria, Rose Kayee D. Pecay
Youtube Integration In Science Classes: Understanding Its Roots, Ways, And Selection Criteria, Rose Kayee D. Pecay
The Qualitative Report
YouTube is among the popular platforms in social media in today’s digital age. Along with this popularity and the pressure to integrate ICT in the curriculum, the myriad of benefits afforded by YouTube for the improvement of science education encourage science teachers to utilize it in the teaching-learning process. This investigation was then effected to generate an understanding of science teachers’ means and motives in using YouTube in their respective classes. Following the principles of phenomenology, two themes vis-à-vis YouTube integration surfaced. “Spectatorial” pertains to the passive use in which science teachers’ participation is limited to viewing purposes. Anent, the …
Transmission Of Araquio Music, Songs, And Movement Conventions: Learning, Experience, And Meaning In Devotional Theatre, Florante P. Ibarra
Transmission Of Araquio Music, Songs, And Movement Conventions: Learning, Experience, And Meaning In Devotional Theatre, Florante P. Ibarra
The Qualitative Report
Araquio, a verse play on the search of the holy cross, is an indigenous folk theatre in the town of Peñaranda, province of Nueva Ecija, Philippines that has survived for over a hundred years. This ethnographic-phenomenological study explores the holistic nature of the transmission and learning processes of araquio music and songs as a theatre-ritual. Its transmission as a social phenomenon is an avenue for music learning that may in fact overshadow its being a diminishing tradition. Using the framework of three modes of enculturation (Merriam, 1964) and interpretation of culture (Geertz, 1973), I investigate the music transmission and learning …
Differences In Jump Height And Reactive Strength Index-Modified In Dancers And Non-Dancers Performing The Vertical Jump From Two Positions, Sarah Hutcher
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The vertical jump (VJ), the gold standard for assessing leg power, is most commonly performed from a squat stance (SS). However, dancers often initiate jumps/leaps from a plié, externally rotated from the hip or “turned out” (TO). Testing dancers from a SS may not indicate activity specific power. This study’s purpose was to determine differences in jump height and leg explosiveness, as measured by reactive strength index-modified (RSI-mod) when performed from TO and SS positions in dancers and non-dancers. Thus far, five healthy participants who are physically active at least ten hours/week have been studied; three dancers, having at least …
Screening For Type Iii Secretion System Inhibitors, Samir Nacer, Kendall Mockridge, Kevin Lujan, Chris Soha, Eugenia Jimenez
Screening For Type Iii Secretion System Inhibitors, Samir Nacer, Kendall Mockridge, Kevin Lujan, Chris Soha, Eugenia Jimenez
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Commonly used antibiotics are becoming less effective because they target bacterial cell walls or processes, which create a selective pressure for bacteria to become resistant, leading to the formation of “super bugs”. Some of these pathogenic bacteria include E. coli, Salmonella, Chlamydia and Yersinia. These species utilize a type III secretion system (T3SS), which are needle-like structures on their surface used to inject host cells with toxins in order to evade our immune system and cause infection. Recently a new method for testing compounds to determine if they inhibit the Y. pestis T3SS was developed by our …
We Are All Humans, Lekha Mutyala
We Are All Humans, Lekha Mutyala
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Diversity is an ongoing topic of conversation in the United States of America today. What exactly entails diversity? What are some examples of racism, prejudice, and injustice in a society that promotes freedom of speech and encourages a melting pot? The presentation addresses features of diversity as they appear in a few historical and contemporary events. Through a rhythmic re-telling, the accounts establish the core identity of who everyone is despite differences. The presentation’s objective is to analyze components of diversity and to display results in an unexpected format.
Sargassum-Associated Fish Communities Are Stable Over Time And Feature Low Levels Of Parasitism, Kelsey Fox
Sargassum-Associated Fish Communities Are Stable Over Time And Feature Low Levels Of Parasitism, Kelsey Fox
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Sargassum mats are common features of South Florida coastlines. Consisting of pelagically drifting clumps of brown algae (usually of the genus Sargassum), these mats are critical nursery habitat for many fish species, providing surface shelter in otherwise exposed open ocean areas. However, the ecology of Sargassum mat communities remains unstudied. This project addressed two key knowledge gaps. First, the long term stability of Sargassum community structure was assessed in samples collected over an 8-year period. Overall 9 fish species were collected (N=150). Individual Sargassum mats typically harbored 2.6 ± 0.7 fish species which were equally abundant in any given sample …
Assessment Of Heavy Metals In Subsistence-Harvested Alaskan Pinniped Vibrissae, Chitra Gotluru
Assessment Of Heavy Metals In Subsistence-Harvested Alaskan Pinniped Vibrissae, Chitra Gotluru
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In the past 40 years, three species of pinnipeds -harbor seal (Phoca vitulina), Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) and the northern sea otter (Enhydra lutris) have undergone significant population declines . Archived vibrissae (whiskers) from these four species from the Bering Sea and throughout the Gulf of Alaska from 1993 to 2014, are used in the project. To our knowledge, this is the first time that whiskers are being used for heavy metal analyses. Whiskers are comprised of keratin, much like fur and hair, which has been …
Combating Cooperative Antibiotic Resistance, Tom Abraham, Aimee Doiron
Combating Cooperative Antibiotic Resistance, Tom Abraham, Aimee Doiron
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health concern, causing more than 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year. To better combat the problem of antibiotic resistance, we studied the effects of cheater bacteria using a strain of Escherichia coli with the ability to express β-lactamase. Specifically, we mapped the conditions that cause cooperative bacteria to exhibit a strong Allee effect – in which colony survival depends on the initial population exceeding a certain minimum threshold. Bacteria that express β-lactamase confer protection to the population when ampicillin is present. This provides an incentive for cheater bacteria to enjoy the benefits …

Dollar, Brianne Bailey, Grace Ducanis
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Although many of us live seemingly unconnected lives, separated by social and economic stratospheres, we are often linked through commonplace objects and locations. A dollar bill, for example. A dollar bill survives an average of 5.9 years, according to the Federal Reserve. By some estimations, it can change hands 110 times a year. And while a dollar’s economic value doesn’t change much from wallet to wallet, a dollar can change the people who carry it.
Don't Hug Me I'M Scared: Sense Or Cents?, Adam Deross
Don't Hug Me I'M Scared: Sense Or Cents?, Adam Deross
Undergraduate Student Symposium
In 2011, British artists Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling released the first episode of what would become a viral YouTube sensation. The short film series “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” has over 42 million views on its first episode alone. I completed an analysis paper on the series putting forth my explanations and theories on the small details and plotline of the ambiguous and open series. Through my oral presentation, I aim to help others think a little bit more critically about this art form and what implications it holds for the real world.
Evaluation Of Fak And Mdr1 Crosstalk In Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells, Keerthi Thallapureddy
Evaluation Of Fak And Mdr1 Crosstalk In Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells, Keerthi Thallapureddy
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Platinum resistance continues to be a major challenge in the chemotherapeutic management of ovarian cancer. Increased phosphorylation of a tyrosine kinase, Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) has been implicated in the development of this platinum resistance. A multidrug resistant gene (MDR1) codes for the P-glycoprotein, a protein that plays an important role in the chemotherapeutic resistance of the platinum resistant ovarian cancer cells. Therefore, it was suspected that there may be an intracellular link between FAK and MDR1 that can determine the drug resistance and consequent escape from the cytotoxicity of the drugs in ovarian cancer cells. Hence, it is hypothesized …
Fluorinated Porphyrin Interactions In Cancer Cells, Brandon Golub, Rony Saleeb
Fluorinated Porphyrin Interactions In Cancer Cells, Brandon Golub, Rony Saleeb
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Photodynamic therapy is a contemporary cutting-edge cancer treatment that is currently being studied intensely. A common agent used in photodynamic therapy is a manufactured porphyrin molecule. Porphyrin molecules are activated when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, and upon activation, either cellular apoptosis or tissue necrosis occurs. Through the alteration of the chemical structure of a porphyrin molecule, differing outcomes take place in the development of the cancer treatment. Careful examination of fluorinated porphyrin derivative compounds can be implemented in order to determine applicable compounds for treatment.
Galaxy Morphology Classification System, Lennox Francis
Galaxy Morphology Classification System, Lennox Francis
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Citizen scientists are becoming more and more important in helping professionals working through big data. An example in astronomy is crowd sourced galaxy classification. But how reliable are these classifications for studies of galaxy evolution? We have created a tool that allows us to use crowd sourced data from college students to investigate morphological classifications and compare the data against existing professional classifications. User generated data is prone to error and comparing said data against a professional classification allowed us to establish a margin of error, which we then corrected using machine learning. The program was coded using C++, the …
Heavy Metal Contamination At Unregulated Target Shooting Sites In The Everglades, Megan Bruce, Stacey Spadafore
Heavy Metal Contamination At Unregulated Target Shooting Sites In The Everglades, Megan Bruce, Stacey Spadafore
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Heavy metals such as lead and copper can negatively impact organisms and the environment exposed to the pollution. These metals can enter the environment in many ways; for example, hazardous waste, discarded sporting gear, leaded gasoline, pesticides, or roadways. A heavily used, unregulated target range was discovered in the Everglades. This location, Krome Avenue, is unregulated and bullets and shell casings litter the area. We hypothesize that the Krome Avenue range will have higher levels of lead and copper than control sites. Water, soil, plant, and invertebrate samples were collected from the site to identify if any metal pollution is …
Investigation Of Fecal Contamination Of Urban Tidal Flood Water In Southeast Florida, Hyo Won Lee
Investigation Of Fecal Contamination Of Urban Tidal Flood Water In Southeast Florida, Hyo Won Lee
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Since many diseases can spread through water-borne transmission, water quality management is a big part of public health. Contamination of water by exposure to human or animal feces represents a potentially high public health risk for spread of fecal related pathogens. Thus, good water quality management seeks to better ensure the cleanliness and safety of water that people and the environment are exposed to. Due to sea level rise, tidal flooding is becoming an increasingly serious problem for coastal populations, a result of more frequent flooding of contaminated coastal landscapes. Therefore coastal flooding is a problem due to both the …
Longevity Of Visual Improvements Following Electro-Stimulation Therapies And Efficacy Of Retreatment In Retinitis Pigmentosa Subjects, Marsha Zaman
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Background: Roughly half of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) subjects who received Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation (TES) and 29% who receive electro-acupuncture developed significant improvements in vision during a small-scale randomized controlled trial by our group.
Methods: We longitudinally monitored four RP subjects for declining vision due to natural RP progression, at which time a retreatment course of six weekly TES sessions or 10 electro-acupuncture sessions was administered.
Results: A 44 y/o female improved from 20/665 to 20/66 in the worse eye following the initial course of TES, but diminished to 20/333 ten months later, at which time retreatment improved vision to 20/83. …
Mathematical Approach To Understanding Consumer Behavior, Teodora Suciu
Mathematical Approach To Understanding Consumer Behavior, Teodora Suciu
Undergraduate Student Symposium
This study examines the theory of consumer behavior, particularly the use of optimization within utility maximization. The science of economics deals with the behavior of economic agents: consumers, producers, and the government. Every consumer is assumed to allocate his or her income to different goods and services that he or she buys, so that the objective is optimized. Similarly, every business firm is assumed to allocate its resources so that its profits are optimized. Government agents are also assumed to allocate resources so that society’s benefits or welfare will be optimized. The resources necessary to satisfy unlimited human wants are …

Undergraduate Student Symposium
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease with unknown causes. It is known that Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) play an important role in gene expression. Changes to that can manifest as phenotypic changes. Prior to this ongoing study, there existed no known databases of SNPs in patients diagnosed with ME/CFS.
Our objectives are to create and continually update a novel database of SNPs that are specific for ME/ CFS patients, and to identify the relative frequency in our cohort of specific SNPs warranting further research.
A genetic database was created on-site through the use of a secure user-friendly …

Printing 3-D Molecular Models Of The Angiotensin Ii, Type 1 Receptor And Its Anti-Hypertensive Ligand (Olmesartan), Riti Vohra, Valentina Ramirez, Guy Merus
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Through the use of protein visualization software, such as Jmol, it is possible to design and ultimately print 3-D structural protein models. Literary review and protein database files help shed light on the important structural components of proteins. As an example, the Angiotensin II, AT1 type receptor, known by its protein database file, 4ZUD, was selected to demonstrate this process. Blood pressure regulation through the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is mediated through the activation and inhibition of Angiotensin II (AngII) from its precursor Angiotensin I (AngI). Activation of AngII leads to vasoconstriction, resulting in an increase in blood pressure, while …
Rationalizing The Irrational Consumer: How Behavioral Economics Impacts Marketing, Hannah Farley
Rationalizing The Irrational Consumer: How Behavioral Economics Impacts Marketing, Hannah Farley
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Behavioral economics is studying the reasons why people make the economic decisions that they do, based on psychology. Before behavioral economics, most economists assumed consumers were rational in their decisions, which is a false assumption. Consumers are impacted by a variety of different sources to make the decisions that they do, which is why their choices can fluctuate and seem irrational. Marketing strategies can be influenced for the better by behavioral economics, by seeing the reasons why consumers may or may not choose a product and marketing the product based on these responses. This essay strives to explore different principles …
Simulation Of Blood Flow Through Arteries Afflicted With Atherosclerosis, Stephanie Talavera
Simulation Of Blood Flow Through Arteries Afflicted With Atherosclerosis, Stephanie Talavera
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Atherosclerosis is a major cause of death and morbidity in our society. It refers to the hardening of arteries due to plaque buildup. This can cause complications throughout the body including the heart, arms & legs, or kidneys. The purpose of this experiment was to study how occlusion size affects the blood flow physics within arteries afflicted with atherosclerosis. CFD analysis was utilized to simulate blood flow through an artery with varying occlusion levels.
All simulations performed in this study imposed a Newtonian, viscous model, with laminar flow conditions and the following material parameters: the physical properties for blood were …

The Cinephile, Ryan Dahm, Aidan Rivas, Jas Anderson
Undergraduate Student Symposium
“The Cinephile” is a short film. After a long movie-binging session and finishing his 1000th movie, our protagonist, the cinephile, notices something is off. It is soon revealed that due to his excessive consumption of cinema, he has gained the ability to manipulate his perception of the world as if he were a video camera, and he can employ various cinematic techniques as superpowers. Unfortunately, rather than using his newly gained powers for good, he almost immediately uses his powers to mess with others for his own personal entertainment.
The Darker Side Of Education: The College Affordability Crisis, Paulette Fuerst, Kunal Karmilkar
The Darker Side Of Education: The College Affordability Crisis, Paulette Fuerst, Kunal Karmilkar
Undergraduate Student Symposium
According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, college prices have increased by 175% (Gonzalez, O’Sullivan, 2010). As a result, the total student debt surpasses more than $1.2 trillion in 2015 (Schoen, John, 2015). The college affordability crisis is based off of the ubiquitous high price of college tuition that continues to rise over the years. Thus, it is imperative that college students are aware of today’s exponential growth of both debt and college cost, because it disrupts students from having a sustainable economic future.
Analyzing the socio-economical aspects of college affordability allows us to comprehend the impact of high …
