The Spray-On Bio-Bandage, Kristine Peterson, Amanda Moravek, Abby Edward

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Fibrin is a natural polymer already used in extreme clinical settings as an adhesive and for shallow wounds when activated by the enzyme thrombin. However, current formations contain irritants, are slow drying, and are not easily washed off. This study used a spray-on bandage composed of thrombin and fibrinogen on a monolayer of 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells to test the enhancement of the body's natural healing without the risks of current formulations. The viability and growth of scratched cells were analyzed using live/dead stain assays 0, 1, and 3 days post-treatment. The results of this study showed cell growth, fibrinogen …

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

College students are faced with many different challenges and through this study I wanted to investigate the impact having a part-time job had on full-time college students' mental health.

Relationship Between Protein And Secondary Metabolite Content In Congeneric Tropical Shrubs, Anna Billings

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Secondary metabolites are important defensive compounds found in plants which deter pests and pathogens and play an important role in defending against herbivory and seed predation. The role of secondary metabolites in fruits is complex as plants must defend the costly fruits while also successfully attracting dispersers. Protein investment into fruits is costly for plants but can serve as a reward to dispersers. In this experiment, we examined the protein content of plant tissues and compared it with the secondary metabolite content. We extracted and measured protein content of leaf and fruit pulp tissues from 15 species of Psychotria (a …

Would You Like To Come Out And Play?, Leslie Miklosy

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I have a confession to make: I’m a middle-aged fellow who likes to play. I will, for instance, while in the throes of a particular mood, pretend to lunge at our family dog. The dog — smart animal that he is — picks up on the counterfeit attack and off we go, enjoying our merry little dance.

Women's Self-Harm In Shakespeare, Madison Harris

Fall Student Research Symposium 2022

Throughout the works of Shakespeare there are examples of women, especially wives, physically harming themselves and threatening violence to others as a way of proving themselves. My research explores how and why Shakespearean wives seek to prove their worthiness by physical acts of violence and how an early modern audience might have understood this. While there has been research about violence committed against Shakespearean women, there is little research on women utilizing violence as a method of proving their trustworthiness, loyalty, and bravery to men. These questions are particularly poignant when considered within the context of marriage. I use secondary …

Algorithms For Compression Of Electrocardiogram Signals, Yuliyan Velchev

Books

The study is dedicated to modern methods and algorithms for compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. In its original part, two lossy compression algorithms based on a combination of linear transforms are proposed. These algorithms are with relatively low computational complexity, making them applicable for implementation in low power designs such as mobile devices or embedded systems. Since the algorithms do not provide perfect signal reconstruction, they would find application in ECG monitoring systems rather than those intended for precision medical diagnosis.

This monograph consists of abstract, preface, five chapters and conclusion. The chapters are as follows: Chapter 1 — Introduction …

Nursing Considerations For Post-Traumatic Amnesia After A Traumatic Brain Injury, Hannah Grant

Senior Honors Theses

A period known as post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) often follows a traumatic brain injury (TBI). PTA is characterized by anterograde and retrograde amnesia, confusion, disorientation, and agitation. The duration and severity of PTA is a key indicator of the long-term prognosis after a TBI, so proper assessment and nursing care of a PTA patient is crucial. TBIs range from mild to severe, but primarily affect the fronto-temporal lobes. In PTA, both neural lesions and white matter damage within the parahippocampal region can cause PTA. A nurse must perform a thorough assessment of a TBI patient, but, since PTA is a key …

The Advancement Of Surrealism: Navigating The Logical Implications Of Surrealism In Poetry Through Time, Brandon Hemsworth

Honors Projects

Surrealism is a complex medium of artistic expression that has persisted through the modern and postmodern time periods and into the contemporary. This project attempts to shine light on the importance of Surrealism by researching the rational implications of its irrational nature. I approached this question in two separate manners: One in a research perspective and one in a creative perspective. This project includes my research on the advancement of Surrealism and 15 poems that I have composed in reflection of Surrealism, Modernism, Postmodernism, the contemporary, and Anti-Realism. The conclusions of this project have important implications that have a common …

Bedside Nurse Shift Length: Evidence-Based Intervention On Nursing Burnout, Natalie Suzanne Medina Bsn, Kristen Morreale Bsn, Bryanna Whitehurst Bsn

MSN Capstone Projects

With the aging baby boomer population, employee burnout, and lack of quality medical training, the United States is facing one of the most detrimental nursing shortages in history. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Health and Human Services projected the demand for nurses to be much higher than the actual number of employed registered nurses through 2030. Since 2016 the nursing population was widely composed of nurses between 25 to 34 years old. After the global pandemic hit, the number of nurses in that age group declined by 5.2 percent, and nurses aged 35 to 44 have reduced by …

The objective of this capstone project is to investigate if utilizing a standardized hand off communication tool to guide healthcare professionals when transferring patient care to the next provider will mitigate …

Using Debriefs To Reduce Nursing Burnout In Nurses Caring For The Oncology Population, Courtney M. Wilkes

MSN Capstone Projects

Nurses are a critical part of healthcare and make up the largest section of healthcare professionals in the United States. According to the World Health Organization (2020), there are approximately 29 million nurses and midwives globally. The increasing need for nurses is not a new discovery. According to the American Association of College of Nurses, more registered nursing jobs will be available through 2022 than any other profession in the United States. The number of nurses leaving the workforce each year has been growing steadily from around 40,000 in 2010 to nearly 80,000 in 2020. Nursing burnout is a known …
