Authors: Simarmata Elia Sofila , Saisab Jili
Published: August 2023

At the beginning of 2023, the condition of the capital market in Indonesia is still colored by the issue of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and information on issues of the global crisis which tends to have an effect of investment uncertainty, especially in the automotive industry. This study uses time series data with an observation period of 1 January 2023 to 30 April 2023. This study finds that the average return on stocks in the automotive industry has a better risk-return tradeoff in April. In addition, it was also found that changes in interest rates from the Central Bank tend not to have an impact on the rate of return on stocks from the automotive industry. This study also finds that changes in the inflation rate tend to be followed by non-unidirectional changes in returns.
Kinerja return sektor transportasi dan logistik pasca pencabutan PPKM
Authors: Saraung Cris Fritsli
Published: August 2023

The lifting of restrictions on community activities (or PPKM) in Indonesia on December 30, 2022, has a positive impact on capital market conditions, especially national economic growth. Based on the phenomenon, the purpose of this study is to analyze the growth and performance of the stock return of the transportation and logistics sector after the repeal of PPKM. This study observes from January 1 2023 to April 30 2023 with a sample of listed firms in the transportation and logistics sector. The evidence shows that April has the highest return compared to the previous three months. In addition, this study also finds that April had quite positive stock performance where the risk-return tradeoff became more measurable with a growth of 0.3%. The findings imply that, although not significantly different from previous months, the revocation of PPKM related to national holidays, especially religious holidays, has quite a positive impact on the performance and growth of stock returns in the transportation and logistics sector.

Published: August 2023

In the United States, many state governments have either legalized or decriminalized small quantities of marijuana for recreational or medicinal use, while other states have resisted the pull towards legalization. This study aims to correlate the racial makeup of states with the degree of marijuana illegality, hypothesizing that high minority populations may be a deterrent to a state legalizing marijuana. Current statewide marijuana policy was cross tabulated by racial composition based on the 2020 census, concluding that blacks are 5% more likely to live in a state where marijuana is illegal, while whites are 7% more likely to live in a state where marijuana is legal. Analysis also compared the percentage of blacks arrested for marijuana possession for states of varying legality, finding that legalization decreases the arrest disparity and makes blacks slightly less likely to be arrested.

The findings are consistent with previous studies on the determinants of infant mortality rates.
Student ghettos: Fear of crime and perceptions of police legitimacy explain undergraduate perceptions of victimization and wellness
Authors: Terry April , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Criminological research has examined the role of neighborhood order in explaining perceptions of crime and official crime statistics for decades. When citizens perceive their neighborhood to be socially and/or physically disordered, community and interpersonal relationships diminish, mistrust increases – including perceptions of police legitimacy – and overall individual wellness decreases. While this literature is wellestablished, little is known about these interactions within a college population—these neighborhoods referred to as “studentification” and described as “student ghettos.” Student ghettos are known for visibly delinquent and socially frowned upon behaviors, heightened concern for sexual assaults and rape, and lack of respect and perceived legitimacy of university and local law enforcement. The current study sought to better understand students’ perceptions regarding social disorder, police legitimacy, and selfreported wellness. Findings indicate that women and those identifying as LGBTQIA+ fear crime at higher rates than men and reported lower levels of overall wellness, while all students perceive social disorder and police legitimacy similarly. Findings suggest perception of fear is the driving factor in influencing students’ overall wellness, suggesting colleges and universities must address the mere perception of crime to help ensure the health and well-being of their students.
Implementation of Computerized Curricular Assistive Tools (CCAT) And Its Effect on Student Preparedness for the New NCLEX-RN Test Plan
Authors: Schofield Lindsey , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Undergraduate students achieving a first-time pass on the NCLEX is the ultimate outcome post-graduation. First-time pass rates on the NCLEX allow students to transition into their nursing careers smoothly; for nursing schools to receive the gold standard of a quality nursing educational program and reduce the nursing shortage. Therefore, it is the utmost responsibility and the highest concern of nursing programs to prepare their students to be successful on the NCLEX-RN exam. As technology demands evolve in nursing education curriculum and professional nursing practice, exploring CCAT as a strategy to better prepare students for the NCLEX-RN exam is imperative. Therefore, this evidence-based improvement project aims to investigate the effectiveness of integrating CCAT into the senior-level curriculum to better prepare students for the NCLEX-RN exam and achieve an increased first-attempt pass rate. The results of this study will provide recommendations based on the current evidence regarding CCAT as a strategy to prepare senior nursing students for this high-stakes exam.
Bridging the Gap Between Rural Communities and Higher Education

Published: August 2023

Following the economic downturn in 2008, college enrollment numbers increased significantly by 16% between 2007 and 2010 (18.1 million) but decreased by 7% between 2010 and 2017 (Irwin et al., 2021). Research has shown that rural Kansans are less likely to pursue higher education than their urban counterparts (Choy, 2002). This is partly due to a lack of access to higher education institutions in rural areas. Additionally, many rural students face financial barriers to higher education, including the cost of tuition, housing, and transportation (Perna, 2010). Kansans were given a 34-question survey regarding their higher education decision-making. The survey found perceived lack of necessity and existing family, or work obligations may play a role in lower rural higher education attainment rates.

Published: August 2023

As a particularly venerable group to undiagnosed and untreated mental disorders, high school students require special attention. Ensuring adequate mental health resources are made available to students requires full participation of school faculty, parents, and peers. Feedback from all of these parties is necessary to address and properly refer students that may be displaying signs of impairment due to unaddressed mental health issues. Detecting early signs of mental health disorders and subsequently referring a student to receive professional help can offset the danger of worsening mental and physical health in the student. High School programs are often a student’s first encounter with any form of a mental health service and it is important that schools ensure quality and proper regulation of their programs. High school services that implement community services and develop a trusted network of adults and peers inside of the school have shown to be the most successful. It is crucial that teachers and parents implement and actively participate in bettering a students’ mental health by working with them according to the direction given by the provided mental health professional. Improperly regulated or unsupported mental health service providers in the high school can also lead to a poor treatment for students. To ensure the academic success and overall well-being of its students, it is vital that high schools implement and properly maintain a well-supported mental health service program within itself.

Authors: Lawver Christina , Hober Christine , Keil Shauna , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Entering an unfamiliar, complex, fast-paced, unpredictable perioperative environment can be frightening and intimidating to any newcomer, especially as an inexperienced nursing student. When nursing students are better prepared prior to arriving into their Operating Room (OR) for clinical, theoretically they should have a decreased anxiety while improving their overall experience and perception (Byrne, Root, & Culbertson, 2016; Foran, 2015). In nursing curricula there is a limited amount of time spent discussing the perioperative setting (Helzer Doroh & Monahan, 2016; Motts, 2012). Nursing student’s first impression of any nursing specialty is during their clinical rotation. Their experience whether it be a positive or negative one, will impact their decision on choosing a specialty post-graduation (Helzer Doroh & Monahan, 2016). By implementing an operating room simulation prior to clinical experience will give the nursing students an opportunity to become more knowledgeable with the perioperative setting and increase their sense of preparedness, overall perception and experience of the OR.Keywords: Simulation, Operating Room, nursing studentsStudy Purpose: To examine and evaluate the effectiveness of nursing students participating an OR simulated experience prior to attending their OR clinical experience. Particularly, investigating the effectiveness of nursing student’s knowledge of the OR environment, sense of preparedness, overall perception and experience of the OR.

Authors: Klaus Kaley , Moon Haley , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

This study examines whether follower Dark Triad (DT) traits impact the quality of leader-member exchanges. Data was collected from 328 individuals who completed the Short Dark Triad instrument (SD3) for themselves and their supervisor, and the Leader-member Exchange instrument (LMX-7) to determine the quality of their relationship with their supervisor. A factorial ANOVA was performed to determine the impact of leader and follower DT traits on the quality of the leader-follower relationship. A simultaneous regression tested if the quality of the leader-follower relationship could be predicted from DT traits of follower and DT traits of leader. Results suggested that narcissistic and psychopathic DT traits of the follower, as well as the leader, did significantly impact the quality of the leader-follower relationship. Moreover, results from the regression determined 24% of the variance in the quality of a leader-follower relationship can be explained by DT traits of the leader and follower.

The Electrathon is a competitive electric vehicle endurance race. Each team is given a 1000kWhr battery and one hour to travel the longest distance. Therefore, the vehicles design can have a very large impact on its performance. There is also be strategy involved, such as knowing when to overuse power or save power. There are a great number of design aspects that go into a vehicle, but one of most important components is the drive train. Optimizing the design of the single transmission drive train is vital to enhance the performance of the electric vehicle. Through various calculations, the end seems to show how a small sprocket ratio can allow for less power at faster speeds.

Synthesis of 2,2’-Bipyridine Via a Phosphorus Extrusion Reaction
Authors: Markham Skyler , Smith Sierra , Atwater Bruce , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The formation of carbon-carbon bonds has long been a synthetic goal for chemists. This has lead to the development of many novel and highly synthetically useful reactions. One of the most notable reactions to form sp2 C - sp2 C bonds has been the cross-coupling reaction.1 Although these transformations have been very well studied and have recently produced a Nobel Prize, these transformations suffer from two drawbacks.1 First, they often require expensive and exotic transition metal complexes and second, the reaction conditions often require inert or anhydrous conditions.1 Therefore, any reactions which can substitute these reactions that do not require expensive metals or can be run under less sensitive conditions are in great demand. Our research group in conjunction with the Wicker group at Southeastern Louisiana University has developed a phosphonium species that we are exploring as a novel precursor for the formation of 2,2’-bipyridine and its derivatives. 2,2’-bipyridines and their derivatives are of increasing interest to the chemistry community due to their unique properties as ligands.2 However, the majority of syntheses of these species rely on the use of cross coupling reactions to form unsymmetrically substituted bipyridine species. Our protocol, once optimized, will allow us to form these species without the use of cross-coupling reactions.
Make the Change: Using Disinfection Caps on Catheter Ports
Authors: Balint Erika , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Every year patients admitted to hospitals all over the nation develop healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) when receiving care. This number decreases with each passing year, but these infections have not been totally eliminated. HAIs can be caused by invasive procedures, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Another common incidence of infection is from peripheral intravenous catheters and central-line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). These infection-causing pathogens are found throughout every hospital so it is imperative that caregivers, particularly nurses, practice standard precautions to reduce the incidence of infections. However, infection control for existing peripheral and central intravenous sites goes beyond standard infection control and should be followed by hospital protocol. For many hospitals, this means using a 70% alcohol wipe to disinfect the catheter hubs before use. This includes accessing the intravenous line to push a single dose of medication or to connect it to an infusion. However, new studies show that the use of disinfection caps that are impregnated with 70% alcohol have had a vast impact on infection control for maintenance of intravenous catheters (AACN Bold Voices, 2013). To reduce HAIs resulting from improper intravenous catheter cleaning, the use of disinfection caps should be implemented in hospitals across the nation. To apply this change in hospitals, the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) method for testing change will be used. After implementing the change from scrubbing intravenous ports with wipes to using disinfection caps, expected results would include lower HAI rates and an increased awareness of easily transmissible infectious pathogens.
Population Growth and Municipal Water Insecurity in Mesa County, Colorado

Published: August 2023

The purpose of this project was to utilize GIS software to develop a population and daily domestic water resource requirement analysis for Mesa County, Colorado by answering the question of what municipalities within the county have the highest potential of developing water insecurities between the years 2000 and 2019. The methods for developing the spatiotemporal population change of Mesa County, Colorado utilize attribute manipulation and statistical tools within ArcGIS Pro. The four municipalities, Clifton, Loma, Fruita , Grand Junction, and Orchard Mesa experienced the greatest population increase and daily water resource requirement increase marking these areas as the most likely to develop water insecurities in the future. While substantial population growth has taken place over the past twenty years through the county, most of the of growth occurred between 2000 and 2010, allowing for municipalities to adapt to the increase in population over the past decade. This project took a broad view of the county’s daily water use and found that the county has access to enough fresh water to support a growing population, and that other factors such as surface water quality and management are a more pressing line of study.

Examining Data Collection, Archiving Protocols, and Data Accessibility in Fossil Preparation Labs
Authors: Davison Shyla , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Over the past five years, there has been many improvements to the Sternberg Museum of Natural History that have resulted in a renovated fossil preparation lab and a new database for specimen data storage. To find ways to improve our protocols, a survey was constructed and sent out to various institutions in the U.S. and other countries to determine what they were doing to mitigate the issues that we were facing. The survey included questions that addressed what data are collected during fossil preparation, how the data are collected, how the data are stored, who can access the data, and what needs to be improved in their current process. Currently, most of the data that are collected in the preparation lab are not archived or made available to collections managers and researchers once the fossil specimen goes into collections. This is an issue because it is important to know the complete history of a fossil, such as which chemicals have been applied or any marks made to the specimen during preparation, prior to long-term storage in collections. The purpose of this study is to bridge the gap in communication to ensure that all the data that are collected in preparation labs are properly archived and made available to those who need it. In future, data collected can be used to improve data management at the Sternberg Museum and provide suggestions for improving data transfer between labs and collections in other institutions.

Participation in football has skyrocketed in the last two decades. With this influx of participation, there is increased research going into sports-related mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) or sports-related concussions. The use of aftermarket external padding for football helmets is examined concerning impact force accelerations and impact severity. In each study examined, there were no live patients but instead, the use of sensors and mannequin heads to fill different helmets. The use of inner helmet telemetry systems was used to obtain the data in both studies. In these studies, the data collected indicated a reduction in either force or impact severities. In higher velocities, there was a significant change in the Gadd Severity Index (GSI) with or without the Guardian-Cap and where the impact took place (Bowman, Breedlove, Breedlove, Lininger, & Nauman, 2017). With both studies showing significant findings with confidence intervals (CI) in the 95th percentile, there is a need for further evaluation of the topic and lager scale studies for a more powerful significance.

Even though infix expression is easy for humans to understand, it is hard for the computers to comprehend. According to Sayan Mahapatra from GeekforGeeks , “Prefix and Postfix expressions can be evaluated faster than an infix expression. This is because we don’t need to process any brackets or follow operator precedence rule.” Using postfix expression eliminates the problem of confusion due to precedence. For example, an infix expression such as 2$3&4. One does not know if 2$3 should be applied first or 3&4 without knowing the precedence . In addition, Postfix expression can be easily calculated with the Stack base algorithm .

Published: August 2023

In today’s complex and evolving healthcare system it is crucial for nurses to proficiently comprehend electronic health records (EHR) in the provision of quality, safe patient care. Electronic health records have become a federal mandate for patient funding securement in many settings. Studies suggest that implementation of an academic electronic health record (AHER) augments student learning for assuming the nurse role in key areas such as: data analysis, assessing patient care needs, administering medications safely, documenting effectively and professionally, and learning how to maintain a therapeutic nurse-client relationship with effective communication in the presence of technology (Jansen, 2014; Herbert & Connors, 2016). Additionally, evidence shows that the implementation of AEHR in a simulation enhances the realism and depth of learning for students as it better mirrors the clinical setting while facilitating faculty assessment of student skills (Meyer, Sternberger& Toscos, 2011). Even though research demonstrates ample benefits to the implementation of an AEHR in nursing education, the Nursing Department at Fort Hays State University (FHSU) utilizes paper patient charts in practice scenarios and in simulation experiences. This researcher recommends the implementation of an AEHR at FHSU to promote aptitude of the EHR, giving more time to direct patient care at time of clinicals.

Using Text Messaging to Decrease Opioid Use After Hip and Knee Replacement
Authors: Damico Mary , Hober Christine , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The development of persistent opioid use disorder after surgery is a preventable complication. The need for opioid medications after total joint replacement surgery is necessary for a favorable recovery and optimal functional outcomes. Traditionally patients get a single postoperative phone call after discharge from the hospital. This phone call does not provide adequate support to patients about postoperative pain medication tapering and cessation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if sending interval text messages to joint replacement patients after discharge would help them discontinue opioid medications sooner. One hundred and thirty-seven patients (69 in the control group and 68 in the experimental group) participated in a quasi-experimental after only study to compare the effectiveness of text messaging on opioid use in patients undergoing total knee and total hip arthroplasty. There were no significant differences in the demographic characteristics of the two groups. The z test for the Difference of Two Proportions was used to evaluate the outcomes of the study. The results found that patients that received the text messages in the experimental group stopped using opioid medications sooner than those patients in the control group at the 30-day and 60-day postoperative interval. The was no significant difference found at 90 days after surgery between the two groups. Utilization of text messaging platforms can improve the tapering and cessation of opioid medications in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing total hip and total knee arthroplasty. This project can be used as support for clinicians considering engaging patients through technology to improve postoperative outcomes.

SCOTS GAELIC I am fascinated by religion, even though I do not believe or subscribe to any one dharma. I grew up in a Catholic family going to parochial school for 8 years. Even though I do not believe in religion I am obsessed by the use of religious symbols and mythology used throughout history. When I was twenty I read Joseph Campbell’s Power of Myth. Campbell discussed one culture where a person would draw a circle in the sand and sit inside to find peace. Since reading this passage, I have been drawing circles in hopes to find quiet and tranquility. Two years ago I started meditating and with each meditation I drew an imaginary circle around myself. Last spring Dr. Gene Rice and I held an Undergrad Research Project called The Mindful Drawing Project with 12 faculty and students. We meditated and drew, as we all searched for peace and contentment. This work was created within the last 2 years. All of the processes in this work bring me peace: weaving, spinning, embroidery and drawing. This work is not narrative but instead documents time and reflects the inside of my circle.

Introduction: Stuttering is a communication disorder that may present difficulties such as producing fluent speech, having a fear of speaking, and experiencing limited inclusion, which. greatly impacts the quality of life and education of people who stutter. University instructors may work closely with students who stutter. Specifically, instructors in the major of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) are critical in educating and influencing the attitudes of future professionals who will advocate for the stuttering community. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes toward stuttering of university instructors in the field of CSD, and other majors as well as to compare. Methods: The POSHA-S survey was spread to collect data from 300 college instructors in CSD and non-CSD majors. This data collection will be used to complete our empirical research. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS and compared to the global data in the IPATHA database. Findings: Data collected from 91 CSD faculty and 77 non-CSD faculty showed statistically significant differences between the Overall Stuttering Scores and the Beliefs scores of the two groups. No statistically significant difference was found between their Self-reaction scores. Compared with the IPATHA global data, both groups showed more positive attitudes toward stuttering. However, findings showed that non-CSD instructors need more education regarding their beliefs and attitude toward stuttering.

Though not every individual who has experienced childhood trauma will grow up to commit crime in their adult or adolescent years, research supports a strong correlation between childhood trauma and the likelihood of committing crimes in the future. Through this literature review, we hope to bring light to understanding the relationship between the two factors and propose a method to increase mandated reporting training through college classes. In this literary review research supports the idea that childhood trauma may have a correlation between criminal behavior. The studies in this review also show the importance of mandated reporting, which brings the question Is there a benefit in adding a course about adequate knowledge and training related to childhood trauma and mandated reporting?
Goal-Directed Hemodynamics in Rapid Response Teams

Rapid Response Teams became a hospital standard in 2004 after a campaign by the Institute of Healthcare Improvement. The intention was to reduce hospital morbidity and mortality by bringing the resources to the bedside that match the patient’s needs in a timely fashion. Rapid Response Teams, or RRTs, are now integral to most hospital operations. However, a wide variety of practices surround RRTs within a healthcare system, including team composition, the scope of interventions, team training, and administrative support. RRTs have not been shown to correlate strongly with reducing morbidity and mortality. Although RRTs may not reduce morbidity & mortality significantly, they do bring critical care expertise to the bedside of the deteriorating patient. One of the leading reasons for RRTs in a community hospital is hypotension. However, interventions to treat hypotension are limited. Evidence recommends goal-directed fluid management reduces renal and respiratory failure while improving patient outcomes in select patient populations (Douglas et al., 2020). Should RRTs utilize tools to treat patients by goal-directed fluid management?

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a current epidemic affecting women around the country. One in three women will experience sexual assault, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in her lifetime (Showalter, 2016). IPV can take many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, and economic abuse and can have serious impacts on one’s health. Within IPV research, there have been unique barriers identified in rural areas. These communities have a significant lack of resources including hospitals, domestic violence shelters, and providers that provide trauma-informed care. Recent literature has suggested economic empowerment approaches to promoting an end to IPV in rural communities. Economic empowerment involves providing victims with the resources and skills they need to regain confidence and a sense of self after experiencing abuse.

This study aims to add to the understanding of creating adult education programs within museums. This will be accomplished through investigation of previous adult programs hosted by other natural history museums across the United States. Previous research has been more qualitative in terms of comparing events hosted by a museum (Dudzinkska-Przesmitzki and Grenier, 2008). By collecting and comparing key data points from other museums, this quantitative research can aid in education research as well as create a template for successful programs to be held at The Sternberg Museum of Natural History (FHSM). Data collection was done by survey. Multiple museums in this study stress the importance in creating a relaxed environment, having a themed event, and using all aspects of marketing. A future program at FHSM will include all of the above points as well as a children’s event to be held at the same time. One museum noted in their survey an increase in attendance when adults do not have to hire a babysitter. Using all of these points, a successful adult educational program may be created for use at FHSM.

Law enforcement is an extremely stressful career, requiring the right person equipped with the tools and ambition to take on the role of police officer effectively. Stress has a correlation with motivation, which is an important issue for law enforcement administration. How an officer feels about their career is directly related to the service quality they provide to the community they serve. Therefore, administration is tasked with the job of identifying what motivates officers to ensure they can complete tasks effectively and efficiently. This research demonstrates that programs and activities implemented by administrators reveals whether retaining officers by reducing burnout and turnover is a priority.

We investigate the relationship between winning college football games and recruiting class success. Recruiting is important, but we attempted to find statistical evidence. We combined the results and statistics from the 2019 season with the 2017 recruiting classes for all major college football teams. We found that there is a statistically significant relationship between winning and recruiting. We controlled for average time of possession, average offensive yards per game, and red zone efficiency, as well, and found all three to be statistically significant. When examining individual conferences, we found recruiting is not a guarantee of winning, as some individual conferences underperformed compared to others.

5 Million diagnosed with heart valve disease each year (John Muir Health, 2019). • 50 % of those who do not have aortic valve replacement will not survive 2 years after the onset of symptoms (2019). • Patients that have severe aortic stenosis (AS) when they encounter the cardiologist have an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality even after they have an aortic valve replacement (Lancellotti et al, 2018). • A new workflow will allow opportunity to efficiently identify and refer eligible patients to streamline the referral and proper treatment (Afrin et al., 2015)
Engaging Students in Distance Learning Discussions

Purpose: The purpose of this poster is to explore various types of discussion formats in order to find ones that keep the students thoughtfully engaged and motivated. • Methods: The poster will compare and contrast several different types of Discussion Forums utilized by this Midwestern Institution. • Background: Online learning is growing rapidly especially with the COVID-19 crisis. Discussion Boards have been a part of online courses for years as a means of discussion and participation. Do they stimulate the learning process? Students often see Discussions as a “have to do”. They often do not learn from the discussion process. Learning management systems (LMS) have used discussion forums in online courses, which evolved over time. • Student introductions was the initial use of discussion forums. Designated students completed the discussion forums while the rest of the class observed. Next, discussion forums addressed topics covered in reading assignments for that week. Many students still were not interested in discussion forums. Today all students do participate in Discussion Boards; but many times quality is missing. Online course should enhance student participation and build a sense of community (Sharoff, 2019). Discussions need to provide a meaningful online learning experience. It is imperative that the online program incorporates successful strategies in the discussion to allow online learners to understand the nursing concepts and apply their ideas. • Implications: The discussion forum should encourage indepth student interaction, reflections on the course and module objectives. Objective assessment measures the students learning in the discussion by utilizing a grading rubric. • Conflict of Interest: No Conflict of Interest.
