Exploration of Transition Metal Complexes for Use in Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) Pathways
No full textWithin the modern scientific and industrial framework, there exists a current and ongoing demand for clean, safe, accessible, efficient, affordable, scalable, and sustainable energy that does not rely on fossil fuels and other carbon-based energy. Although some clean energy sources do exist and are utilized, such as solar, wind, or hydropower, they each fall short because of their intermittent nature. As a result, there are continuing investigations into photocatalytic hydrogen production via photoinduced electron transfer (PET) pathways as a potential solution. The first step required to make this process viable includes finding a sufficient catalytic system. Water-soluble transition metal complexes were the target of this research due to the abundance, low cost, and benign nature of each compound, and they were primarily investigated by first attempting to synthesize a molecule that fit these constraints. They were coupled with a photosensitizer so that electron transfer kinetics could be studied which is a fundamental step for hydrogen production. In this poster, our initial attempt toward this effort will be explained.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/ce_jsustudentsymp_2025/1027/thumbnail.jp
National Patient Safety Goals: Reducing Health Care Disparities in Adult Patients with Alcohol Misuse
Full text linkBackground: An estimated 76 million people worldwide suffer from alcohol use disorder, accounting for almost two million deaths annually. The Joint Commission has made it a requirement to screen all patients admitted to an inpatient facility for health-related social needs, including alcohol use. By doing so, outpatient resources can be provided appropriately.
Purpose: The facility of interest does not currently have a discharge follow-up protocol. The purpose of this project was to implement an evidence-based protocol to follow-up one week after discharge to determine if patients accessed the community resources provided for alcohol use disorder and to determine whether the resources were beneficial.
Project Design: Patients identified as having alcohol misuse on screening tools were provided resources at their time of discharge. These patients were followed up with to determine if resources could be used appropriately. Telephone calls were used as follow-up, as this was a cost-effective and easy way to contact patients.
Results: Fifty patients were identified as having alcohol misuse and were called via telephone to assess if resources were beneficial. Thirty-four patients were identified as effectively using resources, accounting for 68% of the population. Nine patients were unable to utilize the resources and needed additional community assistance. Seven patients refused to participate in the survey.
Conclusion: The use of post-discharge telephone calls was an effective way to follow-up with patients to determine the efficacy of discharge resources. Facilities can identify trends in resource use and efficacy to reduce readmissions, improve healthcare outcomes, and reduce patient morbidity

The Impact of International Baccalaureate (IB) Courses: Experience and Outcome Differences for Full IB Diploma Earners vs. Non-Diploma Earners in an Urban School in the US
No full textThis study examines differences in educational experiences and outcomes for high school(HS) students who participated in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program and earned full diplomas compared to those who participated in the IB Diploma Program but did not earn the diploma. ACT scores, after-high school placement, and HS graduation rates of 256 participants were collected. 122 participants completed an online survey, and 12 participated in interviews. The results revealed that the educational outcomes and experiences for diploma and non-diploma earners were vastly similar. Diploma earners had significantly higher ACT scores, but their college entrance and other academic outcomes were similar to non-diploma earners. However, students who participated in the IB program had significantly higher academic success than other students. Even students who did not earn the full IB diploma had higher graduation rates and high average ACT scores than students at this school, state, and even at the federal level

Population Genomics and Status of the Flattened Musk Turtle (Sternotherus depressus) in the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River
No full textAlabama is home to some of the highest freshwater endemism in the world and ranks near the top in numbers of endangered and extinct species. One of these endangered species is the Flattened Musk Turtle (FMT), only found in the Black Warrior River Drainage of Alabama above the Fall Line. The FMT is listed as “Threatened” by the United State Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act and is considered Critically Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature due to drastic declines in populations since the 1980s. Declines have been attributed to several factors, including coal mining, fecal/fertilizer runoff, collection for the pet trade, disease, and deterioration in water quality across the drainage. While protected populations of the species on public lands have been relatively well-studied, little work has been conducted on private lands, which comprise most of the species’ range. To bridge this gap, we have worked to gain access to private land in the eastern portion of the species’ range (the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River), mostly through networking at public outreach events in the area (reaching 8.5% of our focal area) and building relationships in the community. These surveys have been successful in capturing FMTs, documenting \u3e30 individuals in the Locust Fork Watershed plus recruitment of juveniles and hatchlings – a milestone not seen in over four decades of surveys. This project was also the first to conduct a range-wide genomic survey and included samples from every drainage in the Black Warrior establishing the precedent of two evolutionary significant units
