Trace Element Contamination In The Coastal Gray Wolves Of Southeast Alaska, Miranda Brohman

All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

Gray wolves (Canis lupus), northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris) and salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) play vital roles in southeast Alaska, yet all are exposed to trace element (TE) bioaccumulation. This study examines dietary patterns and TE accumulation in four northern Lynn Canal wolf populations (Douglas Island, Juneau, Gustavus, and Pleasant Island) using stable isotope analysis (SIA) (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) and TE assessments. SIA revealed that wolves in Juneau and Douglas Island primarily consumed terrestrial prey, whereas wolves in Gustavus and Pleasant Island exhibited enriched isotopic signatures indicative of a marine-based diet, particularly …

Cultivating Resilience Through Play: An Educational Tool For Early Childhood Development, Lauren Soltis

Entry-Level Occupational Therapy Doctorate - Doctoral Capstone Symposium

Educating caregivers on early childhood development can empower them to use therapeutic play to support their child’s growth in life skills. This project aimed to enhance caregivers' understanding of play-based strategies that promote resilience during early development. The educational tool was designed for occupational therapists to share with caregivers of children receiving OT services. It simplifies key developmental milestones related to play, social interaction, and the foundational skills needed to build resilience. The occupational therapy team reported that the tool is both relevant and practical for pediatric use, and they believe it will support therapeutic carryover at home.

Liberatory Librarianship - Authors@Eiu Book Talk, Brian W. Keith, Laurie N. Taylor

All Faculty Scholarship

In Liberatory Librarianship: Stories of Community, Connection, and Justice, Brian Keith, Laurie Taylor, and Shamin Renwick explore how librarianship can be a vehicle for empowerment, equity, and social justice. In this Authors@EIU talk, Brian Keith and Laurie Taylor share the inspiration, process, and key ideas behind the book, including how their work with the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) shaped their thinking about uncolonized, community-driven models for digital libraries. Drawing from examples across cultural heritage institutions, the speakers trace how traditional archives have often perpetuated colonial power structures, and how liberatory librarianship proposes a forward-looking alternative that centers …

Thriving Beyond Barriers: A Wellness Guide For Athletes And Coaches, Sydnie Allen, Ots, Lesley Khan-Farooqi, Phd, Otd, Otr, Emily Andersen, Otd, Otr

Spring 2025 OTD Capstone Symposium

This project addressed gaps in knowledge and skills among athletes and coaches regarding the social, physical, and environmental dimensions of wellness, which impact participation, health, quality of life, and overall wellness. The purpose was to create a wellness guide focused on the social, physical, and environmental dimensions of wellness, which may inhibit participation, health, quality of life, and overall wellness while fostering social inclusion and accommodating individual abilities to reduce injury risk and promote motivation. Though research on occupational therapy (OT) in sports is limited, emerging studies highlight the importance of participation for long-term independence. Environmental barriers like accessibility issues …

The Theology Of Water And Spirit: A Radical Reclamation To Forge A Path From Fear To Faith, Shunda Kidd Wilkin

Doctor of Ministry Projects and Theses

In this dissertation, I am in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the disconnect that African American women, and perhaps people of African descent in the Western Hemisphere in particular, have encountered in the realm of aquatics, to find out how to forge a path from fear to faith in the realm of water and spirit for millions of women of the African diaspora - first and foremost. This work is inclusive of all others who are also disconnected from the aquatic realm, in order to create and curate a new field of practical theology - Aquatic Practical Theology – …

Impact Of Humor Vs. Seriousness In Advertising: The Role Of Product Type In Consumer Recall And Purchase Behavior, Cian Ortega

Honors Theses

This study examines the effectiveness of humorous versus serious advertising tones across three different product categories, which are beverage, hygiene, and health/medicine. This is done by measuring their impact on a consumer’s brand/product recall, enjoyment, and purchase intent. Historically, humor has been related to positive emotional responses while seriousness has been associated with building trust and credibility. By using a within-subjects experimental-survey design, data were collected from seventy survey respondents who viewed humorous and serious advertisements across the three product categories (hygiene, beverage, and health/medicine and then evaluated each ad based on their agreement to statements relating to brand/product recall, …

The Laureate, Nadia Famiano

Honors Theses

It is important for undergraduate artists to have an understanding of the artistic market before they start their careers. This project will provide students with the opportunity to experience the process of getting published in a formal academic journal utilizing resources from others pursuing post-secondary education in different fields. The Laureate is an art journal composed of undergraduate pieces. It gives students an opportunity to have their art(s) recognized, such as written works, photography and other visual arts. Allowing for students to have experience with an official publication, The Laureate is an engaging journal that culminates in a celebration of …

The Mess Project, Harris Gustafson, Sam Thyen, Harley Eades

Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)

Sensit Technologies, based in Valparaiso, IN, manufactures gas leak detection equipment. They currently utilize a locally-developed Manufacturing Execution System to gather production data for analytics, but they desire a replacement with additional features such as providing work instructions (currently paper-based) and gathering more detailed information. This project sought to create a more fully featured version of the existing locally built suite, known as MESS (Manufacturing Execution Software System). This new version of MESS is a web-based application with an SQL database and is developed using C#, Blazor, and ASP.NET Core Identity. New features include allowing operators to record their part …

Calibrating For Nonlinearity In The Ciber-2 Detectors, Lilly Blanton, Candice Fazar, Michael Zemcov

Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)

The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment-2 (CIBER-2) is a sounding rocket payload that utilizes HAWAII-2RG sensors to observe faint and diffuse sources in the extragalactic background light. In these detector arrays, each pixel is an individual light-sensing diode. The capacitance across each pixel is dependent on the changing voltage across the pixel as electrons are liberated from the detector material and pass into the readout system. To investigate the relationship between capacitance and voltage in the CIBER-2 detectors and effectively correct for non-linearities induced by the increasing voltage on capacitance, we developed algorithms to model the relationship between capacitance and voltage …

A Story Through Two Mediums, Samantha Jefferson

Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)

Inspired by story telling and my interests in multiple different art mediums, I decided upon a creative project utilizing both photography and comic/graphic novels to act as a memoir and documentary of my semester abroad in Japan. While I was there I spent time studying the concept of the “Medium is the Message” and through this project I continued to explore what that really looked like. I took photos and kept a diary while in Japan. Upon coming back, I started the comic book process of storyboarding, making a script, drawing/coloring, and finally editing. Simultaneously I organized my photos and …
