Secondary Trauma and the Effects on personal relationships
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationMany active social workers have experienced second trauma. These social workers provide service to clients who have experiences various types of trauma themselves. This experiment assesses the effect that secondary trauma has had on social workers lives and relationships. The data examined here is compiled from a voluntary survey link, utilizing responses from Northern Kentucky University social work students and St. Joseph Orphanage Employees. The results are expected to show that social workers who have experienced secondary trauma have a negative influence or correlation to personal relationships and life.https://youtu.be/rdQE6OiHGr
Transformational Leadership for a Psychologically Safe Work Environment
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"A psychologically safe work environment is an environment that promotes the feeling of being valued as an organizational team member without fear of judgement or consequences for contributions in the workplace. Based on the information provided from this literature review, one can conclude that transformational leadership, if done correctly, can promote a psychologically safe work environment. The empathy and compassion modeled in transformational leadership creates a better work environment and is one component to a healthy and productive workplace where employees feel valued. Both the leaders and followers in the working environment need to feel that there is equality regarding the power dynamic. Transformational leadership benefits both managers and workers because of the psychologically safe environment in which the employees feel more comfortable asking for help, inquiring about the company,
and sharing ideas, which ultimately benefits both the employees and the organization."https://youtu.be/F5vdRdwY3B
Assessing Neonatal Function in Three Genotypes of Mice Exposed to Benzo[a]pyrene
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"During Early Brain Development Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a pollutant and a known carcinogen. Exposure from BaP can come from vehicle emissions, tobacco smoke,
and grilled food. BaP exposure has been linked to learning deficits as well as delays in neurological development in both animals and humans. We used a mouse model to mimic the human genetic variation in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and CYP1A2, which are genes related to BaP metabolism. Pregnant mice were dosed with BaP in corn oil soaked cereal or the corn oil vehicle from gestational day 10 to weaning at postnatal day 25 (P25). We tested neonatal reflexes using the righting reflex test at P5, 7 and 10. We also used the negative geotaxis test at P7, 10, and 14. We compared three genotypes of mice to determine if genetic differences affected susceptibility to BaP. We found that both treatment and genotype affected the mice’s’ reflex performance on the tests."https://youtu.be/bDtvlexvmt
Determining the Viability of a Rural IT Service Company
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Rural businesses are historically underserved from an information technology perspective. We were interested on whether it is possible to construct a sustainable IT services company that serves primarily rural areas. We performed research to determine if a rural IT services company could be viable. To determine viability, we performed a market assessment, developed several financial models, developed a series of products, researched economic development programs, and interviewed business and government leaders. The results of this research indicate that a rural IT services company is viable and can grow to at least $2.5M in revenue
within 5 years."https://youtu.be/-Ebx1WQ8qn
Melodies as Curves
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"The curvature function of a 2D curve describes the shape of the curve regardless of how it is moved or rotated. In music, a motif is a string of notes
that appears throughout a piece, although sometimes moved up or down. The measure of curvature is a number, and we can assign each note in a motif a numerical value that describes it’s distance from some fundamental frequency. Because each curve has a unique curvature function, we are able to create a unique song based on a curve, and vice versa. However, this does not easily allow for rhythm. A 3D curve has curvature and torsion, which measure how much it “bends” and how much it “twists”, respectively. We can make curvature rhythm, and torsion pitch, and get a unique song based on any space curve, and vice versa."https://youtu.be/pB8ismU6E8
Phenylethyloxacalixarene Synthesis Via TBS- Protected Phenylethynylcatechols
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"The purpose of this work is to develop a method to synthesize annulene- o,m,o,m-oxacalix[4]arene hybrids. These molecules are expected to adopt a conformation where the annulenes are in a close, cofacial orientation, resembling a tweezer. Once prepared, these hybrids will provide insights into the interactions between cofacial aromatic and antiaromatic systems. To develop the
methodology for the synthesis of these annulene- oxacalixarene hybrids, a series p-substituted phenylethynyl-o,m,o,m- oxacalix[4]arenes is being prepared. The substituents range from strongly electron withdrawing to strongly electron donating, allowing a systematic study of the electronic nature of the phenylethynyloxacalixarenes and providing experience on how to synthesize and purify annulene compounds. This poster will discuss our progress in the preparation of the phyenyethynyloxacalixarene
series."https://youtu.be/x_Ue5UwXyD
Healthcare Discrimination Generates Mistrust in African Americans
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"African Americans suffer disproportionately, from a list of health disparities such as diabetes and heart disease. The history of healthcare experienced by the African American community has, overtime, left an overwhelming sense of anguish due to unfair treatment and discrimination. Consequently, African Americans have developed a grievous level of distrust with the United States Healthcare System. Can African Americans overcome health disparities in a system that enabled them? I will use this research to convey how discriminatory incidents experienced by African Americans’ have consequently caused mistrust in the United States healthcare system. I will approach my research to expose the disproportionate health disparities in African Americans, dive into the history of mistreatment, and highlight discrimination in healthcare education. Then, transitioning into research highlighting mistrust in African Americans throughout different facets of healthcare. Acknowledging the problem opens the invitation to solutions that can mend the bridge of mistrust between an impactful population of people and the United States healthcare system."https://youtu.be/9Ky50fJpwV
Child Abuse and Healing through Art Therapy
No full text2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentation"Child abuse continues to be a prevalent problem in the United States, so therapeutic treatments and interventions are necessary for healing and recovery to occur.
Research shows that child maltreatment and abuse can lead to many issues later in life for those who have been abused, and art therapy has proven to be an effective and useful method to treat traumatized and abused children."https://youtu.be/rb-Vbq6cVg
