Coming Out And Inclusion Into Society Based On Queer Individuals, Danny Trip

INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference

Past literature found that family acceptance of gender identity and sexual orientation of their family members who were coming out affects their struggle in society, (Flores et al., 2020), which can be themed with Inclusion, Perceived Discrimination, and Public Attitude. Background research found that perceived acceptance by those close to queer individuals increased perceived acceptance by society around them (Golriz, 2021). The present study investigated how family acceptance affected religious community acceptance and the research question of how does an individual's coming out experience affect their acceptance by others.

Actor–Partner Model Of Parenting And Co-Parenting Practices And Youth Resilience During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Olivia Aspiras, Jaimie O'Gara, Justine Radunzel

Faculty Publications

The present research examined parents' perspectives of co-parenting and supportive and hostile parenting as predictors of youth resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were 47 mother/father dyads who had at least one K-12 child (Mage = 11.40, SD = 3.92). Mothers and fathers each completed an online survey that measured parenting, co-parenting, and youth resilience during the pandemic. Data were analyzed using the actor–partner interdependence model. Results revealed a positive relationship between mother supportiveness and perceived youth resilience; in contrast, increased father supportiveness was associated with lower perceived youth resilience. For both mothers and fathers, increases in their own hostility …

Impact Of Exercise Video-Guided Bodyweight Interval Training On Psychophysiological Outcomes In Inactive Adults With Obesity, Gabriella F. Bellissimo, Alyssa Bailly, Kelsey Bourbeau, Christine Mermier, Anthony Campitelli, Quint Berkemeier, Jonathan Specht, Jessica Smith, Jeremy Ducharme, Matthew J. Stork, Jonathan P. Little, Len Kravitz

Faculty Publications

Purpose: Determine the impact of a 6-week YouTube-instructed bodyweight interval training (BW-IT) program on cardiometabolic health, muscular strength, and factors related to exercise adherence in adults with obesity. Methods: Fourteen adults (30.7 ± 10.3 yrs, BMI 35.5 ± 5.4 kg/m²) participated in this study. The BW-IT program progressed bi-weekly from a 1:3 to 1:1 work-to-rest ratio, using maximum effort intervals of high knees, squat jumps, scissor jacks, jumping lunges, and burpees. Pre- and post-intervention measures included peak oxygen consumption ( (Formula presented.) O2peak), relative quadriceps isometric muscular strength, waist circumference (WC), body composition via bioelectrical impedance, and cardiometabolic …

The Legacy Of Redlining: Examining Educational Inequalities In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Emily Brennom

Research in the Capitol

This study investigates the lasting impact of redlining on educational inequality in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Redlining, a discriminatory housing practice, segregated communities and restricted resources based on race and socioeconomic status. The research explores disparities in school funding, student demographics, and academic achievement between formerly redlined and non-redlined areas. Using a combination of literature review, historical data, and spatial analysis, the study seeks to uncover patterns linking redlining to modern educational outcomes. Hypotheses include lower funding, higher minority populations, and lower achievement levels in redlined areas. Data collection and analysis will identify how historical redlining practices influence current structural inequalities. …

The Impact Of Emergency Haying On Grassland Birds In The Conservation Reserve Program Habitats Of Northwest Iowa, Claire Widmer, Ai Wen, Kenneth Elgersma, Mark Vandever

Research in the Capitol

Data was collected on breeding grassland bird communities in northwest Iowan Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) fields. Within those fields, CRP grasslands in drought areas could be hayed or grazed for emergency management to harvest supplemental forage for livestock. We compared the bird communities in emergency hayed versus undisturbed grasslands to understand how the drought induced emergency haying affected the grassland birds. Using distance sampling, we found that significantly higher bird richness was found in undisturbed habitat areas compared to the emergency managed hayed areas in the same CRP parcel. In addition, we found that bird density in the emergency managed …

Accessibility To Menstrual Products At The University Of Northern Iowa, Catrina Tounjian, Disa Cornish

Research in the Capitol

Period poverty is the inability to access menstrual products due to economic vulnerability. In the US, 1 in 5 menstruating students miss school due to period poverty. Educational disparities that derive from period poverty must be investigated. At the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), a student-led initiative aims to reduce academic barriers created by period poverty. Within one semester, nearly 3,000 tampons and 2,500 pads were distributed across 17 academic buildings. This study evaluates the impact of free menstrual products on campus by analyzing usage and student feedback, revealing a positive effect on academic attainability. However, the initiative's sustainability is …

A New Application Of The Coimbra Method For Cranial Entheseal Changes, Emily Carlo

Research in the Capitol

The study of entheseal changes (EC) has a lengthy history within biological anthropology, aiding in the reconstruction of habitual activities, lifestyles, and physiological stress experienced by past populations. However, most existing research has focused on postcranial entheses, leaving cranial entheses largely unexplored. This study aims to apply the Coimbra Method, a recent and standardized scoring system, to analyze cranial entheses and investigate the relationship between age, sex, and entheseal changes. By observing and scoring entheses associated with the insertions of five cranial muscles, this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of skeletal plasticity in response to mechanical stress. The …

Who Owns Their Dead: Unequal Access To Reptriation In The United States, Sydney Blum

Research in the Capitol

Museums and scientific institutions in the United States house human remains and important cultural objects in their collections; materials obtained in various manners over the past few centuries. In 1990, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, which mandated that federally funded institutions return Native remains and cultural objects to the affiliated tribe. Over the last three decades the rules have been modified a couple of times with the input of tribes and institutions. This has become an ongoing negotiation process as both public and professional conversations change. In recent conversations of repatriation, the topic has even …
