Assessing and Improving Science Student #SciComm Skills
Authors: Link Kale , O'Dell Kaiden , Wilson Laura , Moore Todd , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

As the population becomes increasingly connected online, there is a growing need for effective science communication on social media platforms (referred to here as #SciComm). We deployed a survey to all FHSU undergraduate and graduate science students to gauge their experiences with #SciComm. Questions included what training students already receive on communicating science to non-scientists and which classes incorporate building these skills. Our survey found that most students have not received any formal training in online science communication. However, many students reported that they wanted more hands-on #SciComm training. Results were used to develop and implement a workshop for FHSU students to provide a primer on #SciComm during the Spring 2023 semester. Ultimately, we hope to encourage more classroom- and workshop-based activities to better prepare the next generation of scientists for science communication in a digital world.
The Relationship Between Debt to GDP and the Wealth Gap
Authors: Eilert Braxten , Parde Zachary , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The debt to GDP ratio has been used as a key indicator for economists, governments and investors as a general measure of a country's ability to repay debt. The primary focus of our analysis was to see if there was correlation between the United States debt to GDP ratio and the wealth gap. We found this topic to be highly interesting and theoretical about the current social and political structure of the world today. According to Ray Dalio the founder of Bridgewater Associates the wealth gap today is at levels that have not been seen since 1935. He also states that along with the increasing wealth gap there is an increase in populist movements amongst the country, which was also the case in times before World War 2. We were highly interested in these claims and decided to investigate further. Although we will not be able to conduct any regressions on the claims of increased populism, we are able to analyze the current situation of the American wealth gap. To conduct our study we decided that to obtain an accurate measure of the wealth gap, we would need independent variables for the share of wealth obtained by the top 1% of all Americans, and the share of wealth owned by the bottom 50% of all Americans. Our initial prediction was that a larger debt to GDP ratio would increase the wealth gap. We ran a series of regressions to test this hypothesis. We then found statistically significant information to back up our hypothesis. Multicollinearity was present in our regression analysis but limited to a minimal amount.
The Journey to Control

Published: August 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a lifelong metabolic disorder characterized by persistently increased serum glucose levels related to a shortage of insulin in the body (Meetoo & Allen, 2010). Research has found that individuals with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) present to the hospital more often than individuals without DM. These hospital visits also tend to be lengthier and more serious in nature. Glycemic control is critical to avoid complications of inpatient hyperglycemia and to lower the risk of long-term complications associated with poor sugar control. Poor outcomes that have been associated with hyperglycemic patients staying in the hospital setting include increased rates of nosocomial infections, sepsis, and an increased length of stay. Strict glycemic control in the hospital that is modified daily according to each diabetic patients needs and clinical situation can significantly reduce the risks for these poor outcomes (Johnston & Van Horn, 2011). Also, patients who understand their disease are more likely to take ownership of their health care problems, understand their treatment options, modify their behaviors, and take their medications more regularly. Tight glycemic control will be tackled through the methods of a redesigned meal delivery program, accurate insulin administration, the implementation of the diabetes conversation map program, and by giving patients a diabetic workbook upon discharge.
The Shape of the Blade with the highest power generation efficiency

Published: August 2023

The purpose of our wind turbine blade design research is to find the most efficient blade shape for power production. Our plan was to first study the size and structure of existing blades, then use the AutoDesk Inventor 3D program to design a suitable blade profile. After 3D printing the desired blade profile it would be tested using the existing wind turbine simulation equipment in the lab. The Inventor software allowed us to model, and repeatedly debug, to ensure that it our mount fit into the hub of the turbine holding the fixed blade. After repeated changes, the printer finally produced three sets of fan blades of different shapes. The wind simulation equipment still must be used be to complete our testing. By adjusting the wind speed and measuring the recorded output power, it will eventually be converted into an experimental model: a certain shape of blade generates higher electrical power.
Bat activity at McConnell Air Force Base versus nearby parks in Wichita, KS.

Published: August 2023

Bats are bioindicators of the communities to which they belong, giving researchers insight into the overall health of those ecosystems. Bats are also very adaptable and are capable of tolerating urbanization. Some species, such as Lasiurus borealis and Lasionycteris noctivagans may even benefit from adjacent industrial and commercial land use, although this is not the case for all bat species. In 2021, we began acoustic and mist net surveys of bats at McConnell Air Force Base (MAFB, or “base”) in Wichita, KS. However, no bats were captured or seen during mist net surveys, although some were detected acoustically over a four-month period. We also encountered very few insects. These observations lead us to wonder if bat activity differed between MAFB and the surrounding Wichita area. During the summer of 2022, we again conducted mist net surveys, acoustic surveys, collected insect biomass at MAFB, and expanded our surveys to include nearby Wichita parks. We found a significant difference in bat activity in the Wichita parks compared to MAFB. Our most detected species was the Eastern red bat in the parks and MAFB. With this study, we have gotten a closer look into the lives of bats in Wichita, Kansas.

Explaining Student Debt Levels at Kansas Universities
Authors: Thompson Seth , Robinson Xavier , Sennett William , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Student debt levels in graduates have historically risen each year. As undergraduate students, it is important for us to analyze what factors lead to more or less student debt. Our null hypothesis for our research is that there is no statistical relationship between costs of attendance and average student debt levels. When measuring costs of attendance, we determined that it was best to use tuition and costs as our first independent variable. we also decided to include the average estimated grant or scholarship aid for full-time beginning undergraduate students and the average ACT scores. Average ACT scores are included because higher ACT scores result in more scholarship aid offered by universities. These two explanatory variables help explain the correlation between costs of attendance and student debt.
De-escalation training: An evidence-based practice to reduce force and increase legitimacy
Authors: Steele Morgan , Lynn Tamara , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Police officers must approach volatile situations that may escalate on a frequent basis. As first responders, they often do not have the luxury of ignoring conflict in public and must work to resolve the situation. However, officers’ presence may inadvertently escalate situations, leading to coercive responses, injury, or worse. The National De-Escalation Training Center (NDTC) has received $4.75 million dollars to provide de-escalation training that incorporates rapid personality assessment, mental health issue recognition, and situational awareness built on a procedural justice foundation. Using data from the first year of trainings conducted across the U.S., we have found that NDTC training dramatically improves officers’ ability to recognize levels of escalation, tailor their response to the individuals’ personality types, and respond effectively. Consequently, trainees are better equipped to avoid turning volatile situations into tragedies and exacerbating the existing cynicism towards law enforcement.
Phylogenetic distribution of an endogenous strain of Dahlia mosaic virus in members of Asteraceae
Authors: Caudle Keri , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Dahlia mosaic virus (DMV) is a double-stranded DNA viral pathogen. A newly discovered strain of this virus called DMV-D10 was first observed in Dahlia variabilis. DMV-D10 does not induce visible symptoms of infection in the host plant, and is classified as an endogenous pararetrovirus. These viruses have the ability to integrate their viral sequences into the host plant genome, which can be transmitted vertically to offspring. Currently, no studies have examined the host range of DMV-D10. Because DMV-D10 has only been observed in Dahlia, the objective for this study was to determine if presence of DMV-D10 follows an evolutionary relationship among species closely related to Dahlia. It was hypothesized species in the same tribe (Coreopsideae) as Dahlia, such as Cosmos, were more likely to be infected with DMV-D10 compared to species within other tribes in the Asteraceae family. PCR results for a movement protein gene indicate DMV-D10 is more widely spread across Asteraceae than in Dahlia species. DMV-D10 was present in Callistephus chinensis (Astereae tribe), Centaurea cyanus (Cardueae tribe), and Dahlia variabilis (Coreopsideae tribe), but not in Tagetes erecta (Tageteae tribe) or Cosmos bipinnatus (Coreopsideae tribe). Therefore, phylogenetic relationship in host plants does not necessarily determine presence or absence of DMV-D10. This leads to questions of how this virus can move to other species in other tribes. Future work will further explore host range, and if there are physiological symptoms associated with DMV-D10 infection.
Education and Occupation in The Misophonia Podcast
Authors: Gibson CJ , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Misophonia is a disorder that involves a negative response to specific stimuli, commonly repetitive sounds, or movements. It is not in the DSM-5-TR, and in many cases, people with misophonia self-diagnose. They unite over their shared symptoms, such as the intense “anger, distress, disgust, and anxiety” they feel (Remmert et al., 2022, p. 2). The Misophonia Podcast is one platform where people who identify as having misophonia can share their experiences, providing over a hundred public testimonies from people with a range of backgrounds. Through these casual interviews, the guests with misophonia reveal details regarding their individual experiences with the disorder, including triggers/activators, coping mechanisms, and the emotions they experience. Little research exists on misophonia and its treatments (Ferrer-Torres et al., 2022, p. 18), leaving people with misophonia on their own to discover what strategies work best for them. As lifestyle choices may reflect a complex relationship with one’s mental disorder, this study analyzes how education level and occupation type may relate to the social support, coping mechanisms, and attitudes people have regarding their misophonia. The only significant correlation found was between job alone time and variety of coping mechanisms, but further research is needed to determine whether this correlation stems from the nature of the podcast and how the data was collected. The lack of significant findings suggests complexity within the misophonia community; people with misophonia can have similar experiences despite their varied lifestyles.

All-Atom Simulations Uncover Structural and Dynamical Differences Between Open and Closed Forms of Human STING in Membrane System
Authors: Pfeifer Haley , Le Lyly , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Recent studies have shown that the stimulator of interferon gene (STING) protein plays a central role in the immune system by facilitating the production of Type I interferons in cells. The STING signaling pathway is also a prominent activator of cancer-killing T cells that initiates a powerful adaptive immune response. Since biomolecular signaling pathways are complicated and not easily identified through traditional experiments, increasing molecular dynamics (MD) capabilities provide powerful new scientific tools for decoding the pathways. We used MD simulations to study these biological pathways’ structural and dynamical responses of the full-length human STING proteins. Specifically, we investigated ligand-bound closed and ligand-unbound open forms of STING in the membrane system by comparing their conformational and dynamical differences. Our research provides clues for understanding the mechanism of the STING signaling pathway by uncovering some detailed insights for the examined systems.

The Effect of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Laryngeal Muscle Flexibility with Lexical Tone Imitation.
Authors: Friess Gracen , Garoutte Jersey , Yao Yiru , Li Qiang , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a non-invasive technique that applies electrical currents through surface electrodes at selected locations to reorganize the brain neural network based on neuroplasticity. The therapeutic effect of tVNS has been reported related to the sensory neural network, but few studies are on the motor neural network. We hypothesized that when applying the tVNS to the recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve, the laryngeal muscles responsible for speech will become more flexible, and their motor activities will be enhanced. To examine this hypothesis, Chinese lexical tones were adopted to be imitated by the healthy English native speakers. Preliminary results indicated the positive tVNS effect and its potential clinical application.

Does M1 Money Supply Affect US Exports?
Authors: Lampe Coy , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

M1 money is defined by the Federal Reserve as money in circulation as well as money in demand deposit accounts such as a checking account. The Fed, as it is commonly referred to as, uses this figure to target interest rates in the economy. This is done to either stimulate the economy to provide growth, or to slow economic growth to curb inflation. By manipulating interest rates in the economy, however, the Fed can also encourage or deter foreign investment, as investors always seek the highest return. If many investors wish to invest in the United States this strengthens the U.S. dollar, effectively raising the price of exported goods. Due to the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded, higher prices should lead to lower quantities of American goods demanded and vice versa. Depending on the elasticity of this demand, an increase in M1 money supply could either increase or decrease U.S. exports. In this study, regression analysis which of these is in fact the case.
Designing a Measure of Effectiveness for Exhibits Communicating Evolutionary Theory at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History
Authors: Williams Trevor , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Specifically addressing and refuting common misconceptions about evolution is still a relatively new approach in education; this style of learning remains largely untested in adults outside of a classroom setting. As informal places of learning, natural history museums are the most likely environment for the general public to learn about evolutionary theory and test their misconceptions with scientific observation. Few natural history museums have evaluated their exhibits’ ability to explain evolutionary processes in a way that encourages scientific thought and addresses common misconceptions about evolutionary theory. A two-part (pre and post) survey was constructed to evaluate the educational effectiveness of the “Rattlers” and “Bringing Fossils to Life” exhibits at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History (FHSM). Both exhibits use live animals to contextualize evolutionary processes such as: (1) predator-prey relationships; (2) convergence; (3) life on land; and (4) extinction. In future research, this survey will be utilized in the first formal evaluation of educational effectiveness in FHSM exhibits by comparing the conceptual models utilized by visitors before and after seeing the exhibits. Results will provide feedback for the museum and further evidence for the usefulness of surveys in evaluating effectiveness of museum exhibits in adult education of evolutionary theory.

Published: August 2023

In this research project, we aim to understand and explain the variables that are influencing the child mortality rate across various countries. This study is vital because if there is a significant factor in the effect and we can reliably determine infant mortality, more infant mortality can be reduced or prevented. The variables we work with are the child mortality rate as the dependent variable and various independent variables such as the GDP per capita, the number of nurses and midwives, the strength of legal rights index, the immunization measles, the current health expenditure per capita, the population living in slums, and the Intentional homicides. Our analysis of these variables utilizes data from the World Bank. With this data, by running regressions and conducting tests, we are able to detect any issues with multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity. Our results show a presence of heteroskedasticity. Due to this, we log the dependent variable. Our main findings include that the statistically significant variables in our regression model are the number of nurses and midwives and the immunization measles.
The Comprehensive Needs Assessment of IPV victims in rural communities
Authors: Qi Ziwei , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

A needs assessment for victims of gender-based violence (GBV) is a process of identifying the specific needs and requirements of survivors of GBV. This includes understanding their physical, psychological, social, and economic needs and the services and support systems available/unavailable to them. A statewide survey was conducted to measure the perceptions of various stakeholders regarding the needs of individuals who have experienced violence and abuse. To measure the service needs from stakeholders who are directly and indirectly working with survivors, it will be insightful for researchers to identify the scope and nature of GBV, gaps in existing services, best practices and successful interventions, the diverse needs of survivors, and barriers to accessing services. Identifying these key factors can help researchers and practitioners to develop effective preventions, interventions, and support programs that meet the specific needs of survivors.
The Impact of Job Motivation and Non-Clinical Depression on Job Burnout during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Persa Maja , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant distress to many individuals and caused substantial changes in their lives. Anecdotal and statistical evidence indicates decreased job motivation and significant job burnout in most recent years. Based on existing job burnout literature, the current study attempts to expand our understanding of the influence of job motivation on job burnout in relation to depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, different types of job motivation compared to one another to examine their effects on two dimensions of job burnout: exhaustion and disengagement. In addition, non-clinical depression served as a moderator between motivation and job burnout. Results showed higher extrinsic motivation predicting higher burnout in general, but identified motivation was not a significant predictor of burnout. As expected, higher intrinsic motivation predicted lower job burnout. Finally, non-clinical depression moderated the influence of intrinsic motivation on job disengagement but not on job exhaustion.

The War On Stigma: Examining Mental Illness Stigma in the U.S. Military
Authors: Jones Haley , Mann Brooke , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Current research suggests up to 43% of United States and 37% of United Kingdom troops returning home from war have experienced some type of mental health issue(s) (Iversen, Staden, Hughes et al., 2009; Sareen, Cox, Afifi et al., 2007). Literature also suggests 60% of military personnel who experience these mental health problems do not seek help, yet many of them could benefit from professional treatment (Sharp et al., 2014). Those wishing to seek mental health treatment likely face several barriers, such as lack of qualified professionals or service availability, but the stigma of mental illness may be the most pervasive (Acosta et al., 2014). Previous research has failed to examine the specific mental health needs and well-being of active-duty personnel, while only a breadth of previous literature exists examining stigma toward mental health in the military (Acosta et al., 2014; Britt et al., 2007; Sharp et al., 2014). The purpose of the study was to examine first-hand, active, and inactive military personnel experiences with mental illness and the quality of mental health services provided to these individuals. Results indicated that men reported greater stigmatic attitudes towards those with a mental illness more frequently than women and men also endorsed more stereotypes toward those with a mental illness when compared to women.

Objective: This experiment focuses on studying the different energy discharge rates in batteries and the endurance of various batteries, specifically testing two lead batteries and two lithium iron phosphate batteries. In brief, this experiment can tell people how to choose the best battery and introduce the performance of each battery.Materials and Methods: We used a resistor, an ammeter, and a voltmeter test to determine the change in its value every ten minutes by timing and conducting a control experiment using different two different types of batteries and two of each type to obtain data. Secondly, use these data to create a statistical chart, through which we can clearly identify and compare the voltage and current output over time from each battery, and then make intuitive comparisons to select batteries with better performance.Results: Over the time period of 1 hour the Lithium iron phosphate batteries held both their voltage and current longer than the Lead acid batteries. This is mostly due to Lithium iron phosphate batteries better depth of discharge than lead acid. Another large factor in the better performance of the Lithium iron phosphate batteries is the more uniform discharge as they showed an almost linear decrease between time intervals.Key Findings:1. Lithium iron phosphate batteries hold their voltage and current for a longer period.2. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have a better deep discharge than lead acid.Conclusion: Based on the data collected from our testing and information gained from the cites below we conclude that Lithium iron phosphate batteries are overall better for most applications, as they last longer and hold their voltage at a steady level for a longer period of time

Higher education is constantly undergoing transformation in order to meet the ever-changing needs of students. Educators must develop and implement methods to capture and maintain students’ attention (Strickland & Kaylor, 2016). Today’s students prefer rapid feedback with activities that promote learning, rather than lecture (Boctor, 2013). Educators are challenged to accommodate a variety of different learning styles. Game-based learning has the potential to help meet these goals (Gallegos, Tesar, Connor, & Martz, 2017).

As the modern world progresses, applications for robotic environments become more prevalent. Increasing demand for robotics has encouraged schools to provide a wider variety of coding and systems classes. Many challenges can arise from teaching robotics, some consisting of a lack of availability, the cost of machinery, and sometimes even a lack of time to effectively teach the curriculum. New virtual programs are being developed that can offer potential solutions to the main issues physical robotics faces. EVRS and VRP-Cs are slowly being introduced into classrooms to be tested against physical robots. The goal of these tests is not to determine which method is best, however, it is to study the differences the curriculum s have on a student’s learning methods.

Aging causes several changes to cognitive functioning and plasticity including changes in tasks requiring use of the prefrontal lobe and the prefrontal cortex, morphology of neurons, and the release of calcium ions in action potentials. There are several ways to improve outcomes to loss of plasticity in aging. Cardiovascular and resistance training exercises affect different areas of the brain and functioning. Voluntary exercise is proven to create the greatest benefit in rodents. Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep improve plasticity in the brain including engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, restoring the ability to create action potentials, synaptic pruning, and increased ability to perform procedural activities. Learning creates both microstructural and cognitive changes in the brain. Learning in old age helps individuals to improve their cognitive functioning. Scientists continue to develop interventions to improve plasticity. Stem cell implantation encourages hope to cure neurodegeneration in the future. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive treatment, shows promise of functional and biological improvement, and further testing may determine use of TMS on humans.

The traditional format of face-to-face instruction was suddenly halted in the spring of 2020 resulting in an unprecedented shift toward alternative methods of course delivery. The impact of this change disrupted the academic environment and its ability to effectively prepare students for professional career. This study examines changes of students’ perception on higher education and the impact on career development among students majoring in the agricultural sciences or enrolled in department of agricultural classes. The goals were to determine student perceptions of online education (i) changes in student perceptions of course education and career opportunities, (ii) altered student comfort with online education and communication, (iii) limitations on student preparedness for professional development, and (iv) perceptions of future employment opportunities. This study is ongoing, and results are preliminary. However, a total of 51 students responded. Students noted a decrease in their ability to pay attention, instructor communication, and instructor effort to online delivery. Most student did not have to purchase new or improved technology. However, access to reliable, fast internet was problematic. When offered face-to-face and hybrid course formats were favored over the online asynchronous and synchronous. Students preferred to have options when choosing course delivery and appreciated the face-to-face and hybrid format that the Department of Agriculture continue to offer during the 2020-2021 academic year. Some students changed their degree major because of course delivery and did not feel prepared to enter the workforce.

Epilepsy is a serious neurological condition that impacts approximately1.2% of people (or about 3.4 million people) in the United States ofAmerica (Zack & Kobau , 2017). Treatment of epilepsy may involve prescribed medications; however, it is important to note that about one third of individuals who have beendiagnosed with epilepsy find no relief from anti epileptic drugs (AED; Tanet al., 2009). When an individual continues to suffer debilitating seizures after beingprescribed two AEDs, this person is considered to have intractable epilepsy(Tang, Poon, & Kwan, 2015). When medications fail to control seizures,individuals are left with few choices and can be in desperate need oftreatment options that are less extreme (and less expensive) than optionsinvolving brain surgery and/or vagal nerve stimulation. More research isneeded to better understand the efficacy of behavioral interventions used to reduce seizures and improve quality of life. The current study sought to expand on prior research with a focus on decreasing seizure frequency and increasing quality of life among people who are diagnosed with intractable epilepsy. We hypothesized that Ashtanga yoga can help to reduce seizure frequency, and we expected to see an increase in quality oflife. Preliminary findings and discussion will be shared.
