Psychology: Physiological Effects Of Negative International News On, Ingrid Quezada, Husna Nabi, Willa Stauffer, Katie Young

Science University Research Symposium (SURS)

News depicting conflict in foreign countries is often perceived differently by those living in America, and these differences may also have implications for gender-related news. Foreign and national news is often categorized as "ours" versus "theirs" when reporting on or perceiving news (Nossek, 2016). This suggests that if a person classifies news as "theirs" versus as "ours", there could be a discrepancy in the emotional response to the news received based on how an individual decides to subconsciously categorize it. A person may have an emotional response upon seeing negative news, resulting in a physiological state change (Soroka, et al, …

Unfavorable Social Determinants Of Health Are Associated With Higher Burden Of Financial Toxicity Among Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease In The Us: Findings From The National Health Interview Survey, Javier Valero-Elizondo, Zulqarnain Javed, Rohan Khera, Mauricio E. Tano, Ramzi Dudum, Isaac Acquah, Adnan A. Hyder, Julia Andrieni, Garima Sharma, Salim S. Virani

Office of the Provost

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major cause of financial toxicity, defined as excess financial strain from healthcare, in the US. Identifying factors that put patients at greatest risk can help inform more targeted and cost-effective interventions. Specific social determinants of health (SDOH) such as income are associated with a higher risk of experiencing financial toxicity from healthcare, however, the associations between more comprehensive measures of cumulative social disadvantage and financial toxicity from healthcare are poorly understood.
Methods: Using the National Health Interview Survey (2013-17), we assessed patients with self-reported ASCVD. We identified 34 discrete SDOH items, across 6 …

Glucocentric Drugs In Cardiovascular Disease Protection And Heart Failure, Khawaja M. Talha, Gregg C. Fonarow, Salim S. Virani, Javed Butler

Office of the Provost

Evidence for cardiovascular outcomes with older-generation antihyperglycemic drugs in the management of type 2 diabetes is based on aggregated data from prior randomized controlled trials and observational studies that were not focused on prespecified cardiovascular end points. Newer antihyperglycemic medications have undergone a rigorous evaluation of cardiovascular outcomes through randomized controlled trials since the US Food and Drug Administration imposed a mandatory requirement for all glucose-lowering drugs in 2008. The three classes of drugs that have been most extensively studied are dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, the latter two reporting significant …

Black Scholes Delta Hedge In Imperfect Markets, Mitchell Pound

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

The Black-Scholes model for pricing European call options relies on continuous delta hedging with prices distributed log-normally with a known, constant volatility. This only works in a perfect, "frictionless" market. We simulate cumulative returns for a market maker using a discrete delta hedge with different time intervals between rebalancing the portfolio. A Julia package is developed by the authors to achieve this goal, which will be open source for the benefit of the public. Using the Julia package, we estimated the distribution of cumulative returns for a delta hedged portfolio by Monte Carlo analysis. This is done using both a …

Developing A Test Method To Determine The Maximum Allowable Leakage Limit Of Microbial Ingress For Dialysis Films, Lexi Phillips

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

The purpose of this project is to design and develop a testing-apparatus and test-method to measure the maximum allowable leakage limit (MALL) for films used by Fresenius Medical Care (FMC). The MALL is the greatest leak size that does not pose a risk to the product. This is the first step in developing container closure integrity testing for sterile containers. This test is designed using guidance from USP 1207, a document detailing integrity assurance of packages holding sterile medical products, and 21 CFR 211. This test is focusing on microbial ingress rather than physical or chemical leakage. The test-method design …

One More Clever Writer Gone Wrong': A Critical Pentadic Analysis Of The Reception Of Kate Chopin's 'The Awakening', Maren Archibald

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

In 1898, Kate Chopin was a generally well-received author of short stories, her previous works described as "clever." But after the publication of her 1899 novel "The Awakening," Chopin's reputation was destroyed. To better understand the novel's disastrous failure, I will present a pentadic analysis of two initial reviews of the novel published in local newspapers. Corse and Westervelt explain that "the dominant interpretive strategy of reviewers in 1899 was built on assumptions of reading as moral instruction and of women as selfless nurturers." Reading with these assumptions, critics were appalled at the immoral and selfish behavior depicted in the …

Tissue Engineered Representation Of Human Blood Vessel Using Hagfish Protein, Parker Goldsberry, Hayden Johns, Jaden Storrer, Jessop Oliver

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Scaffolds used in in vitro cellular growth are a common method of more accurately representing the structure and extracellular matrix of the tissue being grown. Tissue engineers are constantly testing novel biomaterials as scaffolds to determine their representativity of native tissue. One of these such biomaterials is hagfish protein, which when bound together or cross-linked has properties similar to many tissues found in the body. Specifically, there are some properties that could make it a viable option for human blood vessels. Being a simpler organ than most, comparatively, it is also a prime selection for in vitro studies attempting to …

Electron Yield Measurements Of Highly Insulating Granular Samples Related To Charging Of Dusty Plasmas, Heather Allen

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Reliable electron yield (EY) measurements of highly insulating granular particles have long been considered too difficult to collect due the many experimental complexities that arise from the nature of the granular materials. This has led to a critical knowledge gap for both engineering strategies and basic science issues essential for myriad important space applications. This talk will emphasize the preliminary EY measurements of highly insulting granular samples we have collected, including a range of samples with typical particle size ranging from ~1 μm to ~100 μm, samples with cubical, spherical and highly angular particle shapes, studies of highly angular Al2O3 …

The Continuing Value Of 20th Century Modernist Architecture, Mattheus Wardle

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

20th century modernist architecture has begun to age in the 21st century, and the debate of its preservation has begun as well. As the defining architectural style of the 1920s through the 1970s, modernism displayed progressive materials and ideas of the time. In its application, however, it often mirrored the societal injustices it was meant to solve. This project analyzes the various characteristics of modernist architecture and their lasting importance. By looking at the theory surrounding modernism and specific built examples, I argue that the interactions between the style and society provides a way to understand how the built environment …

Letting Go: How Movie Elements In Rouge (1987) Portray Ruhua's Process Of Letting Go Of Her Broken Relationship, Patrick Ganiere, Steven Cox

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

In the last five minutes of Rouge, through the use of camerawork, lighting and music, we see the process of how Ruhua moves on from her bad relationship with an ex-lover.

Active Analysis In Secondary Education, Alisha Grant

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

My research project is about the use of Konstantin Stanislavski's acting method of active analysis in secondary education. I am a student teacher at a middle school this semester and I decided to utilize active analysis in my classroom. It is a method of acting that involves using movement as well as text analysis to learn more about the character an actor is embodying. Active analysis is newer to the United States and has only just in the past year had a full English translation be printed. I wanted to see if active analysis could be used just as effectively …

Assessing The Impact Of Storage Time And Shape Of The Block On The Slicability Of Commercial Cheddar Cheese, Nathan Pace

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Cheddar cheese is one of the world's most popular cheeses and is consumed in blocks and slices. The slicability of cheddar cheese can depend on textural and rheological properties. Understanding these characteristics can enhance desirability and reduce material loss occurring during slicing. In this study, we focused on four main parameters: slice thickness, cheese shape, storage period, and cheese type. Four thicknesses (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm) and two shapes (triangular and square) of mild, medium, sharp, and extra sharp were selected. Cheeses were purchased from Walmart and the Utah State University creamery. At first, cheese blocks were cut …

Unintentional Or Not, It's Racist, Logan Andrews

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

No one should have to live in a world where they are mistreated and hurt simply because of the color of their skin.

Evidence-Based Best Practice For Transitions Of Care: A Policy Review On Medication Reconciliation Standards, Lovelyn Chizoba Ogbennah

Student Scholarly Projects

Practice Problem: Medication reconciliation (MR) is crucial in care transitions among healthcare facilities. Developing evidence-based discharge planning strategies, improving communication, optimizing electronic health record intelligence interoperability, and stakeholder engagement will promote a better transition process for patients and healthcare providers.

PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: In an urban-based adult skilled nursing facility, how does an evidence-based structured review, and revision of current MR policy and procedures, compared to the existing MR policy, affect the clarity of the process for communication between clinicians during transitions of care over a 10-week review cycle?

Evidence: Fifteen …
