Impact of Daily Context Clue Reviews on Student Testing
(2020-04-23) Cambron, Morgan
Students in the sixth grade are lacking daily reviews in their English Language Arts classes. Research shows the importance of reviews that involve reflection and self-assessment of student work. This study will aim to determine if implementing a daily context clue review bellringer for my student will affect their test scores. Context clues are a highly tested district and state standard, supporting why I chose this specific skill. To see the efficiency of this study, I will compare students pretest to posttest score, collect field notes, and review student reflective journals
Digitization and Curation of Mussel Species: Fauna of Indiana
(2020-04-23) Combs, Madison
Several surveys were conducted on freshwater mussels in the Blue River and its tributaries by students of IUS under the supervision of Dr. Claude D. Baker and Dr. Bill J. Forsyth between 1973-1997. This impressive collection containing over 36 species of freshwater mussels has been housed in the Life Sciences building for over 40 years, yet this data has not been analyzed or shared with the public until now. We are currently cataloging, digitizing, and researching this mussel collection. We are also documenting all relevant documents such as time, date, coordinates of collection for public outreach.

Room 9 Patient Belongings
(2020-04-24) Robertson, Rene
Patient belongings getting lost is an important issue in emergency rooms across the country. At the University of Louisville Hospital, a Level 1 Trauma Center, belongings are frequently cut off or removed by staff to aid in the care for the patient and subsequently lost. To problem solve this issue, an IUS RN-BSN student developed a plan where all belongings are taken off patients and placed in bins placed in a centralized location. This poster will present the problem solving and development of a successful process to ensure the safety of patient belongings during an emergent time in their life.

Type 1 Diabetes: What You Should Know
(2020-04-24) Gibson, Gracie
How would your daily life change with Type 1 Diabetes? This project will examine the daily struggle of having Type 1 Diabetes and a malfunctioning pancreas. There are three types of diabetes that will be discussed in this project. Through an analysis of scholarly literature, this project will show the long-term effects of Type 1 Diabetes on other vital organs such as the heart, kidney, [liver] damage, and the eye. There will be an analysis of new stem cell research that can be the future of diabetes treatment and is giving hope to people with Type 1 Diabetes.

The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education
(2020-04-24) Harbeson, Emily; Kellerman, Kathleen; Schultz, Morgan
There are over 52 million people in the United States over the age of 65. As life expectancy continues to increase, interventions are needed to promote independence and healthy lifestyles in this population. The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) is a health promotion program that helps older adults increase their awareness of the aging process. IUS Senior nursing students visited Guerin Woods, a senior living community, and facilitated the WISE program with a group of twenty-two seniors. This poster will present the goals of the WISE initiative, activities performed, and the health outcomes of the individuals that participated.
Not So “HAPI”
(2020-04-24) Watkins, Hannah
Hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are a serious healthcare problem that hinder the progression of care, cause pain, infection and can lead to death. HAPI’s also increase hospital stays, cost of treatment and increase in nursing time. To address this issue, an Indiana University Southeast RN-BSN student implemented a mandatory two-nurse skin assessment during mandatory bed side shift report on a 79 bed Medical-Inpatient Unit. This poster will demonstrate the process of designing and incorporating a two-nurse skin assessment with the bedside shift report within a local hospital to decrease the incidence of HAPIs.

Research of Heat Mitigation Techniques to Reduce the Heat Island Effect on the Indiana University Southeast Campus
(2020-04-24) Marzke, Gloria; White, Matthew; Giuffre, Zachary; Roads, Brandi
This study examined how greenspaces and hardscapes contribute to the overall heat retention of Indiana University Southeast’s campus. Our main areas that we focused on were forest, grass, building roofs, walking paths, parking lots/roads, and lake/water. Utilizing Google Earth Pro, we calculated the area of each area. Subsequently, we calculated the albedo of each surface type. Other research conducted includes mitigation techniques such as shade tree types to employ, adding shade to the main parking lot, the transformation of the Life Sciences building with a green roof, and the installation of pavers. For example, planting ½ the grassy areas with trees would increase the albedo by 58% and drop average surface temperatures by 8 degrees Celsius. By making these campus improvements, we will ensure fewer trips to medical centers for students impacted by intense heat; we will lower greenhouse gas emissions to combat the climate crisis; we will increase habitat areas for pollinator species and other native organisms; we will ensure that our current and future students have praise and a sense of belonging when thinking about our campus. It is our duty as informed students, faculty members, and stewards of this great planet to take action with the knowledge that we have amassed. By making the adjustments and gathering the data found within this proposal, we are headed towards not only a healthier, more efficient campus but better world.
American Indian Health Promotion and Screening at the Pine Ridge Reservation
(2020-04-24) Eav, Serey; Shepherd, Jordan
American Indians are at a disadvantage when it comes to resources, and that alone contributes to the limited education, early decline in health, and preventable illnesses. The senior nursing students of IUS provided free health screenings on an American Indian reservation that included blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels. The students further educated each participant on their health, promoted healthy habits, and encouraged follow up if needed. This poster will present how IUS senior nursing students used resources to provide health education and screening to the American Indian community at Pine Ridge and the results that followed.
Churchill Solitaire with Voice Recognition
(2020-04-24) Stoner, Sam; Roberts, Calvin; Rayees, Mohammad
Our goal as a group was to implement voice recognition features to a Churchill Solitaire game that another group was creating. The game is like a a buffed up version of solitaire. The player starts out with 2 full decks of cards and they must try and stack them all in victory row to win. Our original goal was to have these voice features that would assist the user in controlling the game via the likes of wake words. They would have been words like move, left, right, value. We made it to a point where we did get voice recognition working in a sense that we could turn speech being spoken into text. In other words, we got the first big part down of getting the voice recognition working however we weren't able to get it linked to the game yet for any functionality related purposes.
Identification of Hair Sample of an Unknown Mammal Species Using Electron Microscopy and DNA Sequencing
(2020-04-24) Ranney, Kaycee
We received a sample of a tuft of animal hair trapped in the wooden plank of the boardwalk from Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park Naples, Florida. This poses a threat to pedestrians who use the boardwalk everyday. Based on the claw marks and the hair sample color and size we confirmed the animal to be a mammal. We will analyze the hair sample using electron microscopy and DNA sequencing. By comparing the microscopy and DNA sequencing data with all possible mammals present in the State Park area we will be able to identify this animal species.

Digitization, Curation, Georeferencing and Research of Fish: Fauna of Indiana
(2020-04-24) Ranney, Kaycee
Several surveys were conducted on freshwater fish in the Blue River and its tributaries by students of IUS under the supervision of Dr. Claude D. Baker and Dr. Bill J. Forsyth between 1973-1997. This impressive collection, containing over 60 species of fish, has been housed in the Life Sciences building for over 40 years, yet except for one publication this data has not been analyzed or shared with the public until now. We are currently cataloging, digitizing, geo-referencing and researching this fish collection. We are also documenting all relevant documents such as time, date, coordinates of collection for public outreach.
