"How Women Used Education, Access, Alternatives and Activities to Change Americans’ Attitudes and Feelings About BirdsAttitudes and Feelings About Birds"
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Women used education, access, alternatives, and activities to engage everyday
people and change attitudes and feelings about birds. Human activities such as bird skin collecting and bird hunting for millinery purposes were having a negative impact on bird populations and hastening the extinction of several species of birds. In 1886 George Bird Grinnell started the first Audubon Society for protecting birds. This first Society folded after two years. In 1896 two women in Boston started the Massachusetts Audubon Society and as a grassroots movement of women it eventually grew into the Audubon Society we know today. The tools these women used for bird protection were education, access, alternatives, and activities. This included speaking to women’s groups and school children, using everyday language instead of scientific terminology to promote understanding, promoting stylish hats without feathers, and holding bird walks. This is how women changed Americans’ attitudes and feelings about birds."https://youtu.be/DJ1-wrbpag
FRUIT RECOGNITION USING MACHINE LEARNING
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Object recognition is really helpful in detecting objects, such as human, cars, buildings… in an image or a video. In this research, we use some machine learning techniques to recognize different kinds of fruits in an image. This research requires software platforms (Python 3, Pycharm, Anaconda) and libraries in Python (numpy, panda, scikit-learn…) for coding part. After taking 30 photos of five common fruits (apple, orange, banana, grape, strawberry), we use Selective Search Algorithm to locate potential objects in those images by drawing bounding boxes. To better capture the characteristics of different fruits, we employ the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature to represent each potential fruit object. This feature is used to train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model to classify those bounding boxes into different categories. This fruit recognition system works well on most of the collected images. However, the system recognition accuracy decreased to recognize some similar fruits, like apple and strawberry. The reason for this is that these fruits share similar color and
shape information. For the future, we will improve recognition accuracy by using other machine learning or deep learning models. It is also possible for us to build a phone application to help people recognize different fruits in the real world."https://youtu.be/WgCWBWJvCw
Analyzing Flaws in Educational Robots for Determining Alignment With IEEE Global
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"The last couple of years have seen a strong movement supporting the need of having ethically aligned trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) within intelligent system-based consumer products, including autonomous cars and robots. This global movement has led to multiple institutional recommendations towards ethical alignment and trustworthy design in AI based autonomous systems and intelligent consumer devices. The IEEE global standards on the design of ethically aligned, trustworthy AI includes a list of guideline principles in this regard.
There has been prior research towards finding design flaws and vulnerabilities within various types of consumer robots. However, none of these previous works have studied whether discovering design flaws and security or privacy issues in these robots can help assess their alignment with these IEEE benchmark requirements for trustworthiness and ethical alignment. In attempt to address this gap in existing literature, we have performed a unique experimental study of two educational robots - Zümi and Cozmo. We have found specific vulnerabilities and design weaknesses in these robots within their system functionalities. Our initial research shows that these flaws can lead to hacking, injection attacks, and other robotic malfunctions that might affect the technology users negatively. We conduct a preliminary analysis of how these design flaws can be potentially non- compliant with the IEEE principles for ethically aligned, trustworthy AI. We demonstrate a novel case study of how discovery of design flaws in educational robots can assist in assessing whether their designs align with the new IEEE standards plus principles for robot ethics &
trust."https://youtu.be/P7rMYaaSEv

To Kill Because You’re Ill
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationThis presentation is based on the problem of mental illness in capital punishment. Mental illness can affect the way people hear, see, think, and pretty much anything a person does. This is why a the person's mental state should be considered when being put up for capital punishment.https://youtu.be/tug31 tvju
A Time for Global Transformation
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationClimate change effects have had a looming presence for decades and decades, yet the movement towards progress has been slow and challenging. Now, in 2020, with only 10 years left to make an impact according to the IPCC’s 2018 Special Report (Foreword, n.d.), we as a global community need to collectively react through political and social adjustment. Without global movement, our earth will irreversibly be altered. Therefore, our goals need to be focused on awareness, motivation, and impactful action. Integrative studies of the conflict around climate change will present opportunity for clarity and inspiration for transformation.https://youtu.be/1v1Lr4S47J
The Wanderer: The Melting Pot of the Ancient Mediterranean
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationHistorical fiction tends to focus on powerful figures because historical evidence is greater for those figures. The Wanderer is an original novella focused on ordinary people at the end of the fourth century B.C.E. The themes examined include the intersection of cultures in the ancient Mediterranean and the way ordinary people interpreted questions of national identity, philosophy, and fate. While The Wanderer is a creative project, it makes use of scholarly historical and archaeological research to craft an accurate portrayal of the setting and characters.https://youtu.be/h6fxuAtbuk
Mental Health Stigma and Service Utilization on the NKU Campus
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationStigma regarding mental health can be a significant barrier to those in need of mental healthcare. While many universities offer counseling services, students may refuse to utilize such services due to prejudices concerning mental illness. This cross-sectional study aims to explore public and self-stigma experienced by the NKU students and its effects on service utilization. It is expected students exhibiting this stigma are less likely to utilize counseling services. The findings of this study should add to the body of literature concerning mental health stigma and inform practices NKU utilizes to combat such stigma.https://youtu.be/vxOkXRg-SI
