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.

Whose Mind Is It Anyway? The Relationship between Internalized Implicit Gender Bias, Implicit Self-Esteem, and Mental Health of Women
(2020-04-24) Gavin, Holly; Ward, Lorna-Mae
Can societal negative stereotypes and biases toward women be internalized by women and measured using the Implicit Association Test (IAT)? Do these implicit stereotypes impact a woman's implicit self-esteem without her being cognizant of it? Recent research shows a correlation between low implicit self-esteem and poor mental health. The current study aims to examine the relationship between implicit self-esteem, internalized negative stereotypes, and mental health. The IAT is used to measure implicit self-esteem and implicit gender bias. The Mental Health Inventory-21 is used to measure mental health and the Self- Attributes Questionnaire is another measure of self-esteem. It was hypothesized that a correlation will be found between high gender bias, low self-esteem, and poor mental health.
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.

The Relationship Between Birth Order, Socioeconomic Status, and Personality Variables
(2020-04-24) Lewis, Raechel
Much research regarding the relationship between birth order and personality has been conducted and produced conflicting results, but few additional moderating variables have been considered. Socioeconomic status has been shown to impact life span development and overall well being. This study aimed to investigate the relationship among these three variables. Participants completed an online survey composed of demographic questions and the Mini IPIP personality test. The results revealed that while birth order did not impact overall personality scores, socioeconomic status did significantly impact overall personality scores. Results indicated that there was a main effect of birth order and socioeconomic status on personality, but no interactions were found. Thus, personality scores do not change in birth order based on various socioeconomic status.
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.

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.
Palladium Inspired Activation of Hindered Anhydrides for the Acylation of Alcohols and Polyols
(2020-04-24) Haleem, Jada; Sabet, Jasmine; Davis, Elizabeth; Mensah, Enoch A.
Though other methods have been sufficient in hydroxyl group protection during organic synthesis, a more cost effective, less toxic, and time efficient solution is ideal. We have discovered a new method that complements previous advance in organic synthesis. Our research has proven that a new method, including the addition of palladium as a catalyst, is quicker, has a wider substrate scope, and is substantially more efficient than alternatives. We desire to continue our inquiry on palladium, to include activation of multiple polyols suing more hindered anhydrides.

Comparing Vitamin B6 Concentrations in High Light Plants and Shade Tolerant Plants
(2020-04-24) Kirtley, Stephen Noah; Scott, Jared
Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the cell. One function of vitamin B6 is to neutralize reactive oxygen species. These can lead to cell damage at high concentration and tend to accumulate more quickly in high light. We hypothesize that high light plants will possess greater concentrations of vitamin B6 than shade tolerant plants. We collected plants from high light and shaded environments and are performing yeast assays to determine vitamin B6 content from plant extracts. We will compare the average vitamin B6 concentrations between high light plants and shade tolerant plants.
Helping Those Who Are Under-served: Working with Remote Area Medical
(2020-04-24) Kincaid, Megan; Freeberg, Katherine; Wilkinson, Wesley
Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a valuable source because their focus is to provide quality care to those who are under-served and impoverished in the United States and other countries around the world. RAM is a non-profit that coordinates and implements free medical care, vision screenings, and dental care to anyone in need with the help of volunteers. They provide this care even if the patient is not insured. Indiana University Southeast senior nursing students traveled to Charleston, West Virginia to assist with a RAM clinic set-up, and to work with two Registered Nurses to triage over 600 patients. The purpose of this poster is to provide an overview of RAM; summarize community assessment data for the uninsured and under-insured population of Charleston, WV; and discuss the population and nursing student outcomes for the experience working with RAM.

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.
