Impact of Mentoring Perceptions on Grade Point Average
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity 2020Mentoring relationships can have a positive impact on academic performance in college students. Students engaged in mentoring relationships have shown improved grades and retention rates, but there are few studies focused on the mentee’s mentoring perceptions. This study aims to explore mentoring perceptions and academic performance through grade point average (GPA). Anticipated findings will endorse that students who have more positive mentoring perceptions have higher GPAs. An online survey was used to collect data from 100 NKU students. Results will inform the NKU community on the impact of mentoring perceptions on GPA.https://youtu.be/wVx3YZLnTx
Climate Change: The Change Leaders Disregard
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationIn today’s world, climate change is almost seen as the new “normal.” People do not remember what the environment was like before the dramatic changes we see now. My research is designed to shine a light on the actions our leaders could be taking to stop climate change but are not, by emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach to leadership for climate change mitigation. It will also highlight leaders who have engaged in positive actions against climate change and are now thriving.https://youtu.be/AWHwv1GduC

Food Insecurity on NKU’s Campus
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationResearch suggests that food insecurity is a substantial problem on college campuses. Moreover, food insecurity has been found to negatively impact academic performance. The current study seeks to examine the relationship between students’ food security level and their GPA, classroom behaviors, and psychological well-being. A brief self-administered survey will be used to assess for food security levels as well academic outcomes. The results of this IRB approved study are expected to demonstrate that academic outcomes are negatively impacted by food insecurity. The findings from this study can provide additional support for the expansion and creation of resources for students.https://youtu.be/nQ6jMYCmlQ
Massless Particles Orbiting a (2+1) dimensional charged black hole
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationThe purpose of this poster is to present orbits of photons around a charged black hole. The black hole considered is a 2+1 dimensional black hole with cosmological constant. The black hole has mass M and charge Q. A thorough analysis of the geometry around the black hole and the horizons will be presented. The effective potential, will also be discussed in relative to the mass and the charge of the black hole.https://youtu.be/OGLYneBeWN
Research into Migrant Workers in China and the effects it is having on the children left behind.
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Globalization, rapid industrialization and economic development of China, has resulted in a monumental shift from agriculture lifestyle to one of manufacturing and production. One major concern with this new trend, is that due to residency permit system called the Hukou, individuals migrating for work face immense difficulty bring their children with them. The children left behind while their parents go off in search of work, are commonly the victim of severe psychological issues such as emotional trauma, depression and anxiety. This is causing a major divide in families and causing long term issues for the children being left behind. I will be using insights from Anthropology, Social Work,
Psychology and Organizational leadership, to shed light on why this ever- present complex issue needs attention to hopefully bring forth a resolution."https://youtu.be/e1YMIjRyCl
Lack of Professional Caregivers in an Aging Society
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Lack of professional caregivers in an aging nation with extensive health issues is a problem in society. To address this growing concern, the medical community and social workers need to provide a health care curriculum based on the needs of the elderly and make the education accessible to informal caregivers."https://youtu.be/BCZzeKIM0u

Latent Variables Associated to Hospital Efficiency
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"This presentation examines several latent variables, both outcome and predictor, and their association to hospital efficiency. There were an overwhelming number of variables with fewer data points, so dimension reduction techniques were used to examine these variables in a reduced sense. Several variables made up the latent variables and dimension reduction allowed for including all of our latent variables in our model. A general linear model was used to see the associations between our outcome variables and our predictor variables.
Ultimately, results found that latent variable representing transactive memory were highly associated with our outcome variables representing both quality measures and team outcomes. We also found that whoever leads the shift has a significant impact on the quality measures variable. Lastly, a checklist indicator variable was also significant for quality measures."https://youtu.be/R97NwZlcCP
Synthesis, Purification, and Characterization of 13-Alpha Epimer Estrogens
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationEstrogenic hormones derived from agricultural and pharmaceutical industries are common pollutants. The concentration of steroidal pollution in natural bodies of water has therefore been increasing with rising demands. These pollutants may be detected with fluorescence and treated through photolysis. Photolysis breaks the estrogenic pollutants down, which may reduce their harmful effects. This presentation discusses the adaptation of a synthesis using estrone or 3-methoxy-estrone, o-phenylenediamine, and glacial acetic acid to produce the steroidal epimers more efficiently than with photolysis. Spectroscopy was used to characterize their properties of these structures. The epimer of estrone is more fluorescent and degrades more slowly than estrone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jMbM_USYe
