The Relationship Between Academic Supplies And Academic Performance, Malissa Harris, Celia Suarez, Rylei Jaramillo, Ebony Hall, Felicia L. Murray

Undergraduate Research Journal for the Human Sciences

Many students attending college lack the resources for academic supplies to help them achieve academic success. This study was informed by Walberg’s Theory of Educational Productivity and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to aid in the understanding of how access to academic supplies affects academic achievement as well as graduation and retention rates. This research focused on the access to academic supplies and a student’s academic performance. The research was a mixed methods approach with a randomized sample of 75 participants. A hard copy survey was distributed in the highest trafficked areas on a college campus. In addition to the demographic …

Exploration Of C9or72c9-500 Sk2, Sk3 Channel Expression, Teresa L. Garrett

Festival of Research

ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurodegenerative disease that weakens muscles and impacts physical function. The C9 Gene is responsible for creating proteins that help neurons send and receive signals across the synapse. Small Conductance calcium activated potassium channels (SK channels) affect the hyperpolarization phase of an action potential. Hypothesis: SK2 and SK3 clusters of C9 positive cells should decrease in size and intensity when exposed to a disease state compared to C9 negative controls.

Dynamic Equations, Control Problems On Time Scales, And Chaotic Systems, Martin Bohner

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The unification of integral and differential calculus with the calculus of finite differences has been rendered possible by providing a formal structure to study hybrid discrete-continuous dynamical systems besides offering applications in diverse fields that require simultaneous modeling of discrete and continuous data concerning dynamic equations on time scales. Therefore, the theory of time scales provides a unification between the calculus of the theory of difference equations with the theory of differential equations. In addition, it has become possible to examine diverse application problems more precisely by the use of dynamical systems on time scales whose calculus is made up …

Examination Of Self-Determination Theory-Based Motivations For Using Cannabis Responsibly And Cannabis Use Motives As Predictors Of Cannabis-Related Outcomes Among College Students, Ricardo A. Rubio, Jakub D. Gren, Joey C. Mok, Haydee Andujo, Dylan K. Richards, Matthew R. Pearson, Addictions Research Team

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

Cannabis use motives, or reasons people choose to use cannabis, are well-established risk factors for cannabis use and related negative consequences and include (in order of most to least risky) using cannabis to reduce negative affect (coping motives), increase positive affect (enhancement motives), to avoid negative social experiences (conformity motives), to enhance social experiences (social motives), and to expand one’s experiences (expansion motives). Our current research also examines motivations to use cannabis responsibly based on self-determination theory (SDT), which includes (in order of most to least protective) consciously valuing responsible use (autonomous motivation), seeking/avoiding internal rewards/punishments (introjected regulation), seeking/avoiding external …

Observed Differences In Goal-Directed Actions Among Individuals Affected By Covid-19, Jude Chavez, Kevin Wilson, Karen Luo, Sarah Ward, John Romero, Ethan Campbell, Darbi Gill, Richard Campbell, Jeremy Hogeveen, Jessica Richardson, Davin Quinn

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

The neurological complications of COVID-19 are fearsome and not understood Ischemic strokes, meningo-encephalitis, peripheral nerve damage, agitated delirium, dysosmia, and psychiatric disturbances have all been extensively documented. SARS-CoV-2 appears to directly invade neural tissue and triggers states of hypercoagulability, immune system activation, and hypoxemia, all of which contribute to severe brain dysfunction and possible damage in the acute phase. The motivation to initiate action is central to adaptive functioning but is impaired in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. In particular, a significant number of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) demonstrate clinically-significant apathy - i.e., a negative change …

Identifying Profiles Of Cannabis Users Based On Their Motivations To Use Cannabis Responsibly: An Application Of Self-Determination Theory, Joey C. Mok, Jakub D. Gren, Haydee Andujo, Ricardo A. Rubio, Dylan K. Richards, Matthew R. Pearson, Addictions Research Team

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

Based on self-determination theory (SDT), motivation can be understood as existing on a continuum from the most to the least self-determined (autonomous motivation, introjected regulation, external regulation, amotivation) with more self-determined motivations associated with positive health outcomes, and less self-determined motivations associated with negative health outcomes. Using a newly developed measure of motivations to use cannabis responsibly (TRSQ), we sought to identify unique subpopulations of cannabis users based on their motivations to use (or not use) cannabis use responsibly, positing that those with more self-determined motivations would report higher use of cannabis protective behavioral strategies (PBS) and lower cannabis use/problems. …

A Bacteriophage Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Against Heroin Generates Protective Antibody Responses, Isabella G. Romano, Brandi Johnson-Weaver, Herman Staats, Bryce Chackerian, Kathryn M. Frietze

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

Opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid overdose are urgent public health crises, with opioid overdose rates tripling within the last decade in the United States. Current treatments have limited efficacy, and challenges associated with implementation. Vaccines against opioids have recently been proposed as novel treatments, with some vaccine strategies showing promising pre-clinical data. Here, we report our efforts to engineer a vaccine against heroin that elicits high-titer and long-lasting antibodies with protective functionality. We utilized bacteriophage Qβ virus-like particles (VLPs) to display drug targets in a highly immunogenic and multivalent format. The active metabolites of heroin, morphine and 6-aceyl-morphine, were …

Syllable Diadochokinesis In Professional Boxers And Mixed Martial Artists, Amy Neel, Ninel Hernandez, Jessica Richardson, Lauren Bennett, Sarah Banks, Aaron Ritter, Charles Bernick

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

Background: Recent studies in our laboratory have documented slower speech rates in passage readings for boxers and mixed martial artists (MMAs) compared to healthy controls. Diadochokinetic rate tasks (DDK), where syllables are repeated as quickly as possible, more directly measure speech motor abilities than reading or spontaneous speech tasks (e.g., less cognitive/linguistic confounds). We investigated DDK rates for professional boxers, MMAs, and controls with no history of RHI.

Methods: Participants were 27 professional boxers, 37 professional MMA fighters, and 30 controls ranging in age from 20 to 77 years of age from the Professional Athletes Brain Health Study. They were …

Continuous Cerebral Autoregulation Measurement And Outcomes In Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Masoom Desai, Ali Alsarah, Thomas Jones, Bert Davis, Chad Cole, Andrew P. Carlson

Brain & Behavioral Health Research Day

Background:

Impaired cerebral autoregulation has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Recent data demonstrated that oxygen reactivity measured by either parenchymal probes or near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may be associated with worse clinical outcomes and occurrence of spreading depolarization events.

Methods:

We prospectively collected continuous multimodality monitoring recordings in patients with aneurysmal treated at our institution between 2011 and 2021. Physiologic data were linked using the Moberg Component Neuromonitoring system (CNS) and clinical data were obtained by chart review. Continuous autoregulation indices were calculated using the CNS Envision software retrospectively for all available data …
