An Argument for Corporate Social Responsibility
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Society has always had a problem with corporations
failing due to fraud. Major examples are Enron, Worldcom, Theranos and Bernie Madoff. Research has shown corporations which pledge to corporate social responsibility are less likely to commit fraud. The pledge helps install a conscience within the corporation. ISO 26000 is good guideline corporations should follow. Another major reason to promote corporate social responsibility is that corporations often lay the foundation for future international laws. These laws should be developed for societies benefit not corporations. If investors chose to invest in corporations pledged to corporate social responsibility, there would be less fraud and society would
be better off."https://youtu.be/HsBr22IN_T
Funding for Early Childhood Education and its Teachers
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"There is still the lingering question that arises which is, is there enough funding that goes towards early childhood education programs and the educators that work with these kids and their families daily? This is the question that I want to address and have investigate further. I have researched this topic through the perspectives of my three discipline areas which are, Education, Social Work, and Organizational Leadership. My main goal for my research is for others to have a new outlook on why Early Education is so important and how taking different perspectives can help to one day solve this issue."https://youtu.be/eL_JWLjkIE
Software Engineering Product using Twitter Data
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"The project aims to develop a software engineering product that will allow the user to collect, store, and analyze data collected from Twitter. The focus will be on understanding the customer requirements, planning the development process, teamwork, communication, analysis, and evaluation of tasks. The project should be well verified, validated, tested, and documented."https://youtu.be/r4Ga5HY3HQ
Neuroscience Effects of Developmental and Adult Antipsychotic Administration on Dendritic Structure in the Nucleus Accumbens
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Antipsychotic drugs are given to children to alleviate various psychiatric disorders even though there is little research on the impacts on brain development and behavior. This study explored the effects of the antipsychotic drug, risperidone, on dendritic architecture in the nucleus accumbens in rats during adolescence and adulthood. Rats were administered either vehicle or risperidone (3.0 mg/kg) from day 14 to day 42, or day 77 to day
105. These ages respectively correspond to early childhood and young adulthood. Although the data are preliminary, we have not observed significant differences in dendritic structure between rats administered risperidone during development or adulthood. Future research may explore different measures of dendritic architecture such as dendritic spine analysis in other brain regions to better understand the effects of
anti-psychotic drugs on neuronal structure"https://youtu.be/pQfrcDzWeA
Square-Diamond Landscape Implementation
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Many implementations of the square-diamond algorithm have been created to further explore this type of fractal.
The square-diamond fractal can be easily visualized by starting with four points. The midpoint of the resulting square creates diamonds; the midpoints of these diamonds create squares.
This is repeated for the desired number of divisions. With Dr. Steven Wilkinson, I created a new implementation for the three- dimensional representation of this fractal using Wolfram Mathematica. The ""landscape"" function assigns random height values to
every point to form a 3D graphic."https://youtu.be/k2I4BYyp_I
Into "The Abyss" Shedding Light on the Decline of Services for Individuals with Autism
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"After Transitioning Into Adult Services Over the next decade, an estimated 707,000 to 1,116,000 teens
(70,700 to 111,600 each year) will enter adulthood and “age out” of school based Autism services. With more and more children receiving diagnosis and intervention therapies, we have made the grave oversight of not providing adequate supports and services for them as they grow into adults. The law requires that school districts provide additional services through the Free and Appropriate Public Education mandate of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. However, there is no funding expansion in place to cover these still desperately needed services
at the same rate for people past age 22 who have Autism. Resources are still in high demand after these individuals with Autism reach age 22. Options in funding, services, and interventions, for this population and their families are greatly limited in both availability and appropriateness of accommodations. Services and resources have lengthy waiting lists, and unnecessarily stringent criteria for gaining access.
Current programs have insufficient staffing ratios and training. This decline in services associated with transition has been shown to have long-lasting, if not permanent, devastating psychological, developmental and psychosocial effects, on many levels; not only for these individuals but our society as a whole as these individuals struggle to integrate in their communities. Our society chooses to acknowledge very little about this issue. I intend to shed light on the plight of these individuals with Autism past age 22; and their families struggles that leave them feeling as if they are falling into the abyss."https://youtu.be/w1bj9U25FI
Examining and addressing racial profiling of African Americans by members of the law enforcement
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"An Integrative Approach Racial profiling of African Americans by members of the law enforcement is a complex issue that has been instilled in society since the beginning of the development of America.
The theme that racial profiling tends to portray is keeping Black individuals in their place. Examining and addressing this problematic issue within the law enforcement will allow for officers to become aware of
their own implicit biases towards members of the Black community while simultaneously establishing ways in which one can abolish racial prejudices from their culture. Doing so will also allow for Black individuals to become aware of their own implicit biases towards officers of the law. If the law enforcement is to operate on more just terms, it is imperative that we initiate more intercultural communication to reinforce the idea that while cultures may be diverse, we have more commonalities than we may be aware of. Through establishment of common ground between the disciplines of Communication and Psychology, the analyzation and implementation of various training new training techniques and polices will help bring about the demise of this complex issue we see playing out within the U.S. law enforcement system."https://youtu.be/hrbHIZ0N6A
The Appeal of Murderous Men
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationThis project examines the fascination with serial killers and mass murderers regarding online communities. These communities are comprised of women who view these deviant figures as romantic objects of love and desire. The main research question was -- what is the appeal of murderous men? To explore this questions I looked into secondary sources, the diary of Eric Harris and interviewed a key informant who used Tumblr.https://youtu.be/EC68RdfYck
Student Loan Debt and Stress Levels in NKU Students
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationPast research estimates that 44.7 million Americans possessed student loan debt as of 2018. Student loans are necessary for many Americans to attend college in the first place. This study aims to understand how student loan debt shapes stress levels and overall health of NKU students. Data will be collected using paper surveys completed by approximately 100 NKU students. High stress levels are expected to be associated with students who have acquired student loan debt. Findings from this study could be utilized by NKU to better prepare students for the process and implications of acquiring student loan debt.https://youtu.be/JiAaC1_Ql1
