Interpersonal Protective Factors Of Suicide Ideation And Attempt Among Adolescents, Lillian Martz, Emily Sallee, Abraham Cazares-Cervantes

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

The purpose of this research study is to contribute positively to the literature and research related to the growing epidemic of suicidality among adolescents in the United States. More than one in three high school students report experiencing persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness and one in six youth report making a suicide plan in the past year. Nearly 22% of Montana teens seriously considered suicide in the past year with a full 10.2% of teens making a suicide attempt. The researchers are interested in applying the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS) to the adolescent population. ITPS posits that the …

Aspectual Markers In African American English(Es), Kevin Vrla

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

African American English (Or AAE, a variant of Standard American English(SAE)) has several features that allow for a diverse array of temporal information to be encoded not found in SAE. Here I touch on two such methods, both regarding past events: Been and Done. Both been and done are employed by speakers to provide additional context and I posit that they appear in various constructions providing specific pragmatic information. My analysis has been grounded in previous investigations and supported by data collected colloquially.

Been is the word commonly used to indicate distant past events. When used in a verb …

An Rna Vaccine Protects Against Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Infection In Mice, Shanna S. Leventhal, Kimberly Meade-White, Deepashri Rao, Elaine Haddock, Jesse Erasmus, David W. Hawman

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) is commonly transmitted by ticks and has a wide geographic distribution, being endemic throughout southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Due to climate change, this range is even expanding northward. CCHFV causes a hemorrhagic disease characterized by initial non-specific illness (fever, muscle pains, nausea) followed by severe internal and external bleeding with a case fatality rate of 5-60%. As there is no licensed therapeutics or vaccines, there is great need for highly effective countermeasures. Recently, we have developed a self-replicating RNA-based vaccine which expresses two of the viral proteins: the CCHFV …

The Experiences Of Georgia Special Education Teachers During The Pandemic, Karin Fisher, Edie Grice, Adia Greer, Laura Echezabal

Empowering Educators Conference

In 2020, COVID-19 wreaked havoc on Georgia’s educational systems. Schools closed, and many continued providing education through virtual platforms. It is well-known that students with disabilities struggled during the pandemic; however, their teachers' experiences are unexplored. As a result, we conducted a mixed-methods study to document their experiences.

Toward A Contemporary Theory Of Figurative Realist Painting, Lily Kip

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

This research represents findings from an ongoing project analyzing the contemporary value of Figurative Realist Painting, i.e. the artistic depiction of the true-to-life human body. Despite its historical significance, I believe the art world lacks contemporary interest in Figurative Realist Painting due to three major phenomena. 1. The invention of photography in 1840 decreased the value of Realism in painting. 2. Abstract painting thus dominated American Art in the 20th century. 3. Contemporary art philosophies allow such wide definitions of Fine Art that traditional methods garner less critical interest.

On this basis, I suspected the continuing presence of Figurative Realist …

Beaver Dam Analogs Change Macroinvertebrate Communities In Headwater Streams, Western Montana, Michelle E. Fillion

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Starting in the 17^th century, beavers were nearly eradicated from their historic range. Though today their populations are improving, the lack of beaver dams in aquatic systems has left a lasting impact on the environment. As a result, managers of freshwater systems have turned to beaver dam analogs (BDAs) as one technique for stream restoration. BDAs are human constructed structures designed to mimic natural beaver dams and their geomorphic, hydrologic, and ecological effects. Though BDAs have proven to be a useful restoration technique, there has been little research on how they influence macroinvertebrate communities, which serve as a vital …
