How to stop economic growth
Authors: Holthoon F. L. Van
Published: August 2023

The answer to how to stop economic growth must be political rather than economic. Economic growth made by men has an impetus which can only be stopped by a deliberate choice. It takes national and international decisions to stop it. In order to organize a moratorium on economic growth (which eventually must lead to a stop on growth) I suggest to create blocks of nations in the world. The European Union can function as a model for such a block. The E.U. is on its way of becoming a supra-national government which was created to ensure a level playing field for its members. Now it is meant to create economic growth for its members, in the future its administration should be used to stop it. Blocks should agree on the targets to reach a durable economy. Globally or between certain more advanced blocks a date should be set to stop economic growth after that date. Each block should implement the goals to reach a durable economy and prevent products reaching its market that violate the goals of durability. Blocks in developing countries cannot be expected to stop economic growth. They need that growth for two reasons. Eventually they must reach the level of existence in the more advanced block and secondly they must have the time to improve the standard for durability of their products. They need the aid of the developed countries to reach a higher but also more durable level of production, but this aid comes with a quid pro quo, In the meantime they must do their utmost to stop wars in their regions and conduct a responsible population-policy to reduce the growth of their population and let it reduce on the long term.

Trauma-informed practices recognize the widespread impact of trauma on individuals and the need to deliver services that avoid re-traumatization. In the context of the mainstream court system, trauma-informed care is crucial for ensuring that individuals who have experienced trauma are treated with compassion and understanding. Trauma-informed care can help court officials recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma, including the triggers that can cause individuals to experience distress, anxiety, or other mental health challenges, and take steps to address those triggers. The purpose of this research is to map the degree and extent of trauma-informed practices in two judicial districts within the criminal and juvenile court systems in Kansas. By mapping the results, we identified areas where trauma-informed practices are already being implemented effectively, as well as gaps and need for improvements. This information can be used to develop targeted interventions to increase the implementation of trauma-informed care practices throughout the criminal and juvenile justice systems.

In a technology and social media-driven society, we are constantly being fed content from the screens around us that provide updates, communication between friends and organizations, and events happening around us. This content is coming from so many social platforms, causing information to get cluttered in with other media, causing content not to be seen on time or causing it not to be relevant, and determining what platform your audience is primarily using can be difficult. Making it hard to keep members engaged, religious organizations see this happen quite often, which can cause the number of members to go down and make it difficult for them to gain new members or reach current members. This is where Campus Connect comes into the picture. One app which specifically targets ministry-based organizations. Offering real time updates and communication from leaders and members of ministries, with features such announcements, calendar events with a timeline view everything taking place, user to user messaging as well group messaging to communicate with everyone in your ministry, and most the most important feature prayer request that letting you know how each and every one of your members are doing. With Campus Connect you won’t just engage better, because your content is being seen but you’ll be able to build your community and grow your ministry and expand the kingdom of God.

Published: August 2023

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): four of the most important concepts in education, yet some of the most difficult to teach in an engaging manner. Robotics is an appealing method used to teach STEM concepts in a way that can be applied to a myriad of fields of study, ranging from psychology to computer sciences. Over the course of the last semester, a research team has worked to create a robot to compete at the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) national robotics competition. Although the Fort Hays State University’s team received 3rd overall, this does not compare to the knowledge and experience gained in the STEM field through robotics.
Is Home Field Advantage Present In the NFL?
Authors: Avila Luke , Schreyer Sam , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

In this research project, we are trying to reject the null hypothesis that there is no home field advantage in the NFL. This is important because if there is a true home field advantage in the NFL, we would be able to more accurately predict the scores of future NFL games based on the teams that are playing, they in-game statistics, and who is the home and away teams. Our main findings include that there is a significant relationship between time of possession, first down, turnovers, and third down conversions and the score of the game. However, there is no statistical evidence of a home field advantage in the NFL. There are teams that tend to have a better score margin when at home than on the road, yet, as a whole, NFL teams and their score margins are not affected by whether or not they are at home or on the road.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this research project is to investigate data from the 2021 BattleBots season, play-in, and championship matches to see if any variables have a statistically significant contribution to how many wins a bot achieves. A reason to investigate these relationships could be to gauge how much investment is needed to be successful in the ever-evolving sport. Those in charge of the competition have worried about the possibility of the bots becoming too homogeneous by having only the same weapons fight each other. After investigating the relationships of many factors, the weapon type used does not seem to be statistically significant if the weapon can still achieve knockouts.

Published: August 2023

The Fluviokarst system in Jackson County, Alabama is extensive. In order to increase our understanding of the region we have analyzed a cave sediment core taken from Montague Cave in Jackson County, Alabama. To do this have dried, driven off the organics, and ran it through a set of sieves. This allowed for Loss of Ignition, and grain size analysis to be done. Through doing this we have found that there is a significant correlation between the residual water and the organics. More recently there has been a change in flow conditions to bring in more organic and deposited coarser sediments.

Diabetes, A Global Epidemic
Authors: Patel Jignesh , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The International Diabetes Federation notes that diabetes is a global epidemic affecting approximately 537 million adults (20-79 years) worldwide. The total number of people living with diabetes is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. In the United States, 37.3 million people (about 1 in 10) have diabetes, and the incidence is 1.4 million every year. 38.0% (96 million) aged 18 and above have prediabetes (National diabetes statistics report, 01/2020). More than 8 in 10 do not know they have prediabetes (About Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes | National Diabetes Prevention Program | Diabetes | CDC, 2022). The estimated cost of care in 2012 was $ 240 billion, which increased to $327 billion in 2017 (Economic Costs of Diabetes in the U.S. in 2017 | Diabetes Care | American Diabetes Association, n.d.). It has been the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. since 2019 (Statistics About Diabetes / ADA, n. d.). Epidemiological research to assess the effect of lifestyle modification on the development of T2DM produced evidence that a structured lifestyle modification program can cut the risk of developing T2DM by 58% for people under 60 and 71% for people over 60 years old (CDC - About the Program - National Diabetes Prevention Program - (Diabetes DDT, 2021). Lifestyle intervention is a safe, cost-effective, and efficacious way of diabetes prevention (Glechner et al., 2018). It is recommended that early screening of patients with prediabetes that exhibit risk for T2DM and implementing lifestyle modifications or referral to the National Diabetes Prevention Program will help address this public health issue. More training and an increased workforce are needed to open conversation in T2DM prevention strategies.
Seabirds as Ecological Indicators in Late Cretaceous Marine Environments
Authors: Wilson Laura , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

In modern marine ecosystems, seabirds are considered indicators of ecological hotspots because their biogeographic distribution is correlated with physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic factors. Pursuit diving seabirds – those that actively pursue prey underwater – are even more limited in distribution and closely tied to oceanographic factors, as diving ability is often gained at the expense of flight capabilities. Today, pursuit diving seabirds are generally restricted to waters cooler than 15ºC. By contrast, the Late Cretaceous was characterized by greenhouse climate and high sea levels that provided marine paleoenvironments with no modern analogs. Even though waters in the Western Interior Seaway (WIS) were warmer than 15ºC, they were host to pursuit diving seabirds called hesperornithiforms. The presence of hesperornithiforms in warm waters indicates that different biotic and abiotic factors affected Late Cretaceous epicontinental ecosystems than affect modern oceans. Together, ecosystem structure and the unique oceanographic factors characterizing epicontinental seas both contribute to differences in seabird biogeography between the Late Cretaceous and today.
Influence of Sediment Acidification on Water Quality in Carbonate Environments: A Laboratory Experiment
Authors: Ali Hendratta , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

A sediment leaching experiment was conducted in a controlled laboratory setting. The sediments were collected from a carbonate-rich waste mine tailings site in MO. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), major ions, and stable carbon isotope ratios of DIC (d13CDIC) leachate were analyzed. The purpose was to investigate the carbon dioxide produced from acid neutralization by carbonate-rich sediments that may occur at an acid mine drainage contaminated site (e.g. Neosho County SE Kansas) during the loss of CO2(g) during groundwater discharge. Results show that there is rapid decrease in DIC and an increase in pH during the first 48 hours of leaching the tailings with 0.1N sulfuric acid. The decrease in DIC is due to the loss of excess carbon dioxide CO2(aq) dissolved in water as neutralization is occurring. This loss of CO2(g) leads to a kinetic enrichment of the stable carbon isotopes d13CDIC. The magnitude of the d13CDIC enrichment is shown to depend on the (1) initial concentration of the excess CO2(aq) (at time = t0+1) in the leachate, (2) the amount of DIC and (3) the rate at which the CO2(g) is lost from the reactor. These results are important in our understanding of the long-term effect from the exploitation of natural resources that can generate carbon dioxide in the environment.

Published: August 2023

Research has shown there is a positive correlation between self-determination skills and quality of life of college students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this literature review is to highlight research on self-determination skills, instruments used to measure self-determination skills, and interventions used to teach self-determination skills of college students with ASD in postsecondary settings. The search revealed a dearth of literature on the topic. College students with ASD face many challenges, including problems with executive functioning, social-communication skills, and social-emotional skills, which negatively impact their ability to effectively use self-determination skills. Few instruments have been tailored to measure self-determination skills of students with ASD in higher education. Similarly, there was a scarcity of literature on effective intervention programs that foster self-determination skills in university students with ASD. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
What Factors Affect Web-Based Professor Ratings?

Published: August 2023

The relationship between professors and students is often a topic discussed among students around enrollment periods on campus. The factors that play into whether a professor is “good” or not is not often discussed in great detail. RateMyProfessor is a website for students to input their ratings of different professors based on preset criteria on the forum. This study explores other research papers that have tested similar hypotheses along with our own research on the relationship between the ratings given to professors in each of these categories and the quality professors that are currently employed at the Robbins College of Business at Fort Hays State University.

Published: August 2023

This is a study of the Slieve Bloom Mountains of Ireland, situated between Offaly and Laois County. The Slieve Bloom is the oldest mountain range in Europe, which once reached a peak elevation of 3,700m but stands at an elevation of 527m today. The mountains, formed during the Cordilleran Orogeny, provide profound evidence of depositional history through excellent preservation of several rock types. Most notably, the mountain range contains a notorious unconformity between Silurian age rocks and the Devonian age Old Red Sandstone, a time gap of roughly 70 million years. The Silurian rocks constitute a single formation (the Capard Formation), outcropping in 16 inliers of the area. The Old Red Sandstone overlies the Capard Formation, making up the unconformity.
Guided Reflective Writing Rubric Validation: A Tool for Nursing Education Assessment of Student Clinical Judgment
Authors: Smith Tanya , Keil Shauna , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Nurse educators have been challenged to not guide clinical judgment development in nursing students but determine students’ level of clinical judgment. As clinical judgment is not easily assessed, nurse educators are seeking reliable measurements of clinical judgment. The researchers of this project sought to determine the reliability and validity of the Guided Reflective Writing rubric as developed by Smith (2020). Students in the Fort Hays State University Nursing program routinely use the Guided Reflective Writing assignment and rubric post-clinical for journaling. Inter-rater reliability was completed on second semester and fourth semester first and last journals. Moderate reliability was established for the second semester students whereas strong reliability was established for the fourth semester students. Content validity was not established with the comparison of the Guided Reflective Writing rubric and the Lasater Clinical Judgment rubric. The results indicate that the Guided Reflective Writing rubric can be used to assess clinical judgment at all levels of nursing students. Although content validity was not established, one can conclude that clinical judgment can be assessed in multiple modalities.
Due Process vs Crime Control Models of Justice
Authors: Hayes Abigail , Lynn Tamara , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Criminologists argue whether the U.S. justice system operates from a model of due process or crime control. As American citizens, the Constitution ensures that we have due process rights when faced with a criminal trial, including but not limited to protection from unreasonable search and seizure; a fair and speedy trial before a jury of our peers; and protection from self-incrimination. In contrast, crime control efforts often supersede these due process rights through plea-bargaining, in addition to other practices. This research evaluates the due process versus crime control models of justice to determine which approach is most evident in today’s criminal justice practices, and which is most appropriate to ensure justice.
Increased Incidence of Congenital Syphilis
Authors: Roether Shana , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Background: Congenital syphilis occurs when a pregnant mother passes the syphilis infection to their child during pregnancy. This treatable sexually transmitted infection (STI) is the leading cause of stillbirths and neonatal deaths (Trivedi et al., 2020). According to the CDC (2021), the incidence ofcongenital syphilis increased 254% from 2016 to 2020. The key factors include decreased funding for STI education, decreased access to care, limited resources such as transportation and health insurance, stigma that is associated with diagnosis and treatment and legal issues that may be present such as undocumented migrants (Contraceptive Technology Update, 2022). Objective: Increase the education for STI prevention and treatment to decrease the incidence of congenital syphilis.Methods: Through the research design Plan/Do/Study/Act increased education will help to bring awareness of prevention and treatment to women of childbearing ages. Inclusion of community resources such as community centers, rural health clinics, health departments and schools will assist in capturing a more diverse population as well as a greater number of patients. Education will occur as a standard at child appointments, prenatal screenings, during health classes and at community centers. Comparison ofcongenital syphilis diagnosis from pre- and post- education implementation will provide data to indicate significance. Conclusion: Through implementation of extended education points the healthcare team can reach a greater number of patients and ensure swift and adequate treatment. Syphilis is a treatable infection and when detected and treated in a timely manner will lessen the risk to the unborn child. Utilizing healthcare and community services can provide the necessary education for eliminating poor outcomes for neonates.

Work-related Stress Among Registered Nurses (RNs) on Acute Care Unit Of Hays Medical Center
Authors: Patel Dipika , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Registered Nurses (RNs) provide high quality care that is culturally sensitive, competent, and developmentally appropriate within evolving health care working environments where limited resources and increasing responsibilities are common (Khamisa, Oldenburg, Peltzer, & Ilic, 2015). An imbalance between providing high quality care and coping with the working environment can lead to increased work-related stress and burnout. Work-related stress is defined as a harmful emotional and somatic response when the persons’ skills and resources cannot satisfy the requirement of the task (Qi, et al., 2014). This project analyzed self-reported stress among RNs who work on the Acute Care Unit (ACU) of HaysMed measured by the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) (Gray-Toft & Anderson, 1981). Using the surveys’ statistically significant results, activities were selected. Currently RN led change projects are being implemented to address the research findings.
Increasing simulation to improve confidence during medication administration in associate degree nursing students
Authors: Landry-Lyons Jessica , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

At Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) students are taught the skills needed for medication administration (MA) in the first semester of their nursing education career. Following the successful completion of their MA evaluation, students are allowed to pass medications with their instructor during clinical rotations. Nursing students work to acquire and refine the practical experience and critical thinking necessary to safely administer medications. Students remark that they lack confidence when administering medications due to minimal opportunities to perform the actual skill during clinical experiences (Schneidereith, 2021). MA errors still occur at alarming rates within health systems across the world, and the significance of medication safety is of paramount importance in terms of nursing education (Jones et al., 2022). Although a lack of MA experiences may occur for many reasons, faculty need to be mindful of the student experience and find adjunctive ways to provide MA opportunities. In fostering this crucial skill, the proposition of increasing the number of MA simulations offered could close the gap in student confidence in this skill.

Authors: Baier Corinne , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

In this study, the maternal mortality rate across the world was examined from an external viewpoint. The rate was analyzed against births attended by skilled workers, GDP per capita, secondary school enrollment, and income levels. The research was looking to determine if there was a statistical relationship between the mortality rate and the percentage of births attended by skilled healthcare workers. This research is important to examine the many inequalities on a healthcare basis amongst the countries. This looks at how dangerous pregnancies and labors can be in certain areas of the world. Through research conducted such as this, it should be able to give a global standpoint on where the rates are at, which could indicate improvements that can be made. The research results indicated there was a negative statistical relationship between the maternal mortality rate and the percentage of births attended by skilled healthcare workers. The meaning behind this research is as the percentage of births attended by skilled staff increases, the mortality rate of the mother should decrease. Research also indicated a statistical relationship with income level; the lower-income countries, on average, had a higher maternal mortality rate.
Developing Perfectly Matched Layer method to solve Heat Equation numerically
Authors: Whitehill Richard , Clark Clifton , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) techniques, although having been studied extensively to study systems with nonrestrictive boundaries in many physical fields, are not readily adaptable to the study of thermodynamic systems governed by the heat equation. Using the explicit finite difference method, we can easily describe systems with perfectly absorbing or reflecting boundaries. These, however, are highly idealized physical states, so we have begun extending our abilities to simulating more realistic physical situations by defining arbitrary spatial differential operators, which govern how heat at the boundaries of the system of interest propagates. As a first attempt, we transformed the linear spatial domain to a trigonometric domain to combat reflection from boundaries, but this is quite crude. We then approached the problem using Fourier Transforms in order to define the problem in a heat distribution's frequency space, damp excessive heat past the boundaries, and transform back to position space. Initial results using the finite difference method verify the current computer simulation's ability to solve problems with ideal circumstances, and the development of a PML method which accurately simulates nonrestrictive boundaries and can be easily translated into a computer algorithm is in progress.
