Symposium of Student Scholars
According to the CDC Cancer Statistics Report in 2020, Liver and Intrahepatic Bile Duct is the 6th leading cancer in both USA and the State of Georgia ranked by Rates of Cancer Death. Aflatoxin-containing foods, alcohol consumption, smoking, overeating, and other risky behaviors are among the factors linked to liver diseases. They have also been related to the socioeconomic status (SES) of individuals. The behaviors and SES of individuals are affected by the socioeconomic characteristics of the communities where they live. However, the relationships between the rates of liver diseases and community-level socioeconomic factors are not well studied. The objective …

The purpose of this analysis is to review data from the USDA Economic Research Survey in a data collection regarding FoodAPS National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey. Our data include a sample size of 4,826 participating households with 279 variables describing each household. Several variables were utilized which include average collective income for households, perceptions of fruit and vegetable prices and quality, self-reporting items about perceived fruit and vegetable consumption, and financial survey responses. With these chosen variables we made initial inferences that there would be a relationship between income and fruit consumption. We predict that throughout the duration …
Cardiovascular Disease In The Active Service: Incidence Rates And Implications For Intervention, Sophie R. Vincent
Cardiovascular Disease In The Active Service: Incidence Rates And Implications For Intervention, Sophie R. Vincent
Symposium of Student Scholars
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the United States. Common risk factors associated with CVD are obesity, hypertension, alcohol use, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. Other factors such as genetics, race, age, and gender also play a role in the development of CVD. Based on current literature, the increasing trend of obesity impacts even active-duty military service members who are paid to maintain their physical fitness. Due to the lack of literature surrounding incidences of CVDs in active service members, the present study provides insight into this topic. The present research conducted a …

Design: Quantitative Research
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Virtual Dementia Tour on prelicensure student nurses' attitudes towards dementia care.
Methods: This study is nested in a larger ongoing multisite, mixed-methods crossover-experimental designed study that investigates …
The Influence Of Surgical Stress And Inflammatory Biomarkers On The Occurrence Of Postoperative Delirium, Kirsten Davis, Yulisa Flores
The Influence Of Surgical Stress And Inflammatory Biomarkers On The Occurrence Of Postoperative Delirium, Kirsten Davis, Yulisa Flores
Symposium of Student Scholars
Research focusing on hypothermia has established a relationship between surgical stress and inflammatory biomarkers on delirium incidents in critically ill non-cardiac surgical patients. Unfortunately, postoperative delirium is a common complication after surgery and results in acute brain failure. Though the cause of delirium is still relatively unknown, systemic inflammation with neurological involvement is one of the leading etiologic theories. Another common complication in surgical patients is the occurrence of unplanned hypothermia during non-cardiac surgeries. For our study, we will be looking at two inflammatory biomarkers: C-reactive protein (CRP), and Interleukin 6 (IL-6). CRP is produced in the liver and is …
Employee Attrition: Analyzing Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Of Ibm Data Scientists, Graham Nash
Employee Attrition: Analyzing Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Of Ibm Data Scientists, Graham Nash
Symposium of Student Scholars
Employee attrition is a relevant issue that every business employer must consider when gauging the effectiveness of their employees. Whether or not an employee chooses to leave their job can come from a multitude of factors. As a result, employers need to develop methods in which they can measure attrition by calculating the several qualities of their employees. Factors like their age, years with the company, which department they work in, their level of education, their job role, and even their marital status are all considered by employers to assist in predicting employee attrition. This project will be analyzing a …

Title: The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Maternal Health Outcomes
Abstract
The COVID-19 Pandemic has disrupted access to maternal health services. Lockdowns, fear of contracting the disease, and limited access to healthcare services may have affected the overall well-being of expectant mothers and their newborns. Studies from previous infectious disease outbreaks have shown that adverse maternal outcomes have increased. Research is needed to determine the indirect impact the pandemic had on various areas of maternal health. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review to understand the impact of COVID-19 on maternal health. A systematic …

The Relationship Amongst Sleep, Gestational Weight Gain, and Insulin Resistance During Pregnancy
Authors: Ami Eho1, Dr. Janeen Amason2, Dr. Katherine H. Ingram3 (mentor)
INTRODUCTION: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 48% of pregnancies are affected by excessive weight gain. Gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes including insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality are correlated with weight gain in general population but the relationship between sleep and weight gain during pregnancy is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how sleep duration or sleep quality affect GWG and …
