Disciplines in higher education have different formats for presenting research and scholarship. You will notice that in the sciences (e.g., biology, kinesiology, psychology, education), scholars present research using a basic scientific approach: presentation of hypothesis, interventions or application, and results. Their research is usually presented with a power point and discussion. In disciplines such as history or English, scholars will present their research by reading a paper. Performance scholars will actually perform their presentation. All presentation styles and formats are valid and should be respected.

Oral PresentationsWhitfield Conference Center9:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.

9:00The Effects of “Mash” Material on MoonshineCaleb Edwards (Pre-Health, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Joseph Roberts

A high-proof distilled spirit or neutral spirit, commonly called moonshine, is an alcoholic substance that serves as the base for distilled spirits. Moonshine is fermented from a source of sugar and then distilled, usually in a rough at home still, in order to produce the final project.

The purpose of this research is to test whether different “mash” materials alter the sugars profile of the final product, which may result in moonshines of different qualities. The “mash” materials are a single substance, or a combination of starting materials, that allow that generate fermentable sugars for the yeast to produce by-products, mainly ethanol. Since each “mash” material has different types and amounts of sugars, the end products could vary widely. Fruits contain similar sugars, typically glucose, sucrose, and fructose, while wheat and potatoes contain starch, which is broken down into primarily maltose. The types and concentrations of sugar can change the taste, smell, appearance, and quality of the spirit. The results of the research will provide answers to which types and amounts of sugars create the “best” spirits.

9:15Mathematical Models of Infectious DiseasesJoseph Gregory (Pre-Health)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Nicholas Haverhals

The purpose of this research was to compare two different mathematical models to a differential model of infectious disease known as the SIR Model. The SIR Model is commonly used as a teaching tool which introduces students to differential equations. It gets its name from the three demographics if tracks: Susceptible (S), Infected (I), and Recovered (R). This model demonstrates how each group changes over time. The SIR Model was compared to Markov Chains, which is a model that uses matrices to track changes between groups until the change between groups stabilizes, known as a steady state. Finally, an Agent-Based Model was examined using NetLogo computer software to see how interactions between individuals in a system differed from the SIR Model.

9:30Emotional Regulation and Trauma in Preschool Children Grace Tibbetts (Psychology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jordan Wagge

The aim of this presentation is to review the existing literature on emotion regulation, dysregulation, and trauma in preschool age children. The prevalence of traumatic events in early childhood is dramatic, with nearly 1 in 4 children experiencing at least one potentially traumatic event before the age of 4 (Briggs-Gowan, et al., 2010). Despite the lack of episodic memory traces for these events (Scarf et al., 2011), traumatic events – particularly maltreatment and neglect – have been shown to be linked to later mental health problems, physical health problems, and overall poorer

life outcomes (Felitti, et al., 1998). One of the effects of trauma in young children can be emotion dysregulation, which refers to the inability to understand and regulate emotional responses. This can appear in the form of under regulation (externalizing behaviors) or in over regulation (internalizing behaviors) (Maughan & Cicchetti, 2002). Understanding the importance of emotion regulation in response to trauma in young children can help us develop evidence-based interventions before maladaptive behaviors become larger life issues.

9:45Human is Human. A Transgender DocumentaryKeegun Selley (Communications, Emphasis in Film, Digital Media)Faculty Mentor: Nicole Esquibel, M.F.A.

“Human is Human. A Transgender Documentary” is a story of Parker Liu, an individual who is currently transitioning from female to male. This documentary serves as a platform for Liu to speak about his specific life experiences. Liu touches on topics of family acceptance, coming out, cultural norms, and future plans. Parker and I also spent time discussing how transgender individuals are viewed in today’s society. I wanted this documentary to show that gender dysphoria is in fact real.

BREAK: 10:00 – 10:15

10:15C. Maculatus Reared in Real and Artificial BeansDaniel Gray (Biology, Pre-medicine)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Gregory Fitch

The bean beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, is a pest of stored grain. A better understanding of the development and nutritional requirements of this insect is required for its control without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. In this study, “artificial” beans were developed to compare larval development on black-eyed peas to larval development on artificial beans, which were formed from a vegetable-based capsule filled with milled bean meal. Bean beetles successfully developed in and emerged from these artificial beans. Female bean beetles had a slight preference for laying eggs on black-eyed peas rather than on the artificial bean. The emergence success (the fraction of eggs producing live, adult beetles) was significantly higher for eggs laid on black-eyed peas than for eggs laid on artificial beans. These results suggest that, while not as suitable for beetle development as black-eyed peas, artificial beans support the development of beetle larvae into adult offspring. The addition of nutritional components such as vitamins or amino acids to the milled beam meal should allow further researchers to study the effects on larval development of adjustments to the nutritional profiles of various bean species and potentially cast light on biological strategies for controlling these pests.

10:30“Black Beauty”Laura Larson (Communication, Emphasis in Film, Digital Media)Faculty Mentor: Nicole Esquibel, M.F. A.

“Black Beauty” is about three women describing their experience growing up. They

talk about the expectations from society on how they should appear. I wanted this documentary to be a voice for these three women. We discuss how in the media Black women are portrayed. There is a major European influence in our media. We continue to strive to be diverse and embrace different cultures. These three women do not represent all women who are black; they speak for themselves as individuals.

10:45Orange Tree ExerciseMady Drosenos (Kinesiology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Gerald Larson

Injury to the upper extremity is a primary cause of muscle weakness and loss of joint range motion. This deconditioning impairs movement capacity essential for activities of daily living and work. Common injuries to the shoulder complex include rotator cuff strain, ligament sprain, and impingement syndrome. Prolonged immobilization may result in condition a known as frozen shoulder. The aims of this project were to actively engage participants, increase glenohumeral joint range of motion, and strengthen muscles of the shoulder complex using “Orange Tree Exercise.” Methods: Participants were adult residents at the Village Shalom. Each participant was actively engaged in the Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy program that is part of the services provided to Village Shalom residents. The Orange Tree Exercise was built (4 ft. X 6 ft.) to accommodate a variety of individual heights. Orange Tree Exercise strategically placed “oranges” (orange tennis balls) to promote increases in range of motion as participants reach to pick and replace more progressively distant organs. These movements challenged patients to stretch muscles during the picking phase, and exercise motor control and strength when

placing oranges back into the tree. Results/Discussion: Subjective observation indicates this project did promote upper extremity mobility, static and dynamic standing balance, as well as, increased visual field scanning awareness while searching for oranges.

11:00Short Presentation of a Long-Form ImprovisationAlexandria Walters (Theater, Biology)Faculty Mentor: Erin Schmidt, M.F.A.

This performance will be a Montage format of long-form improvisation using techniques from short-form improvisation and long-form formats based on the methods of Del Close. This performance will be an exhibition of long-form comedic improvisation that will request an audience suggestion for the premise which will lead into the montage of scenes and games. The exhibition will demonstrate with the assistance of fellow students who will be taught from the presenter how improvisation is an important tool for the performing artist to create character and objective through instinct and without over analysis of these concepts. This ability in turn creates strong choices for the rehearsal and audition processes as well as in performance.

The Life And Legend of Baby Doe TaborJessica Lewis (Music, Vocal Performance)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Amity Bryson

For decades, Elizabeth “Baby Doe” Tabor’s life and legacy have been mired in myth and rumor. Known for a time at the “Silver Queen of the West,” her unceremonious death alone in a frozen shack established her in the public consciousness as a woman who died as she lived: rooted in paradox. A divorcee turned silver magnate’s wife in the last decade of the 19th century, Baby Doe was at once influential and controversial. Her marriage to Horace Tabor thrust her into the spotlight, where she was simultaneously ridiculed as a homewrecker and celebrated as an icon of wealth and opulence. After the Panic of 1893, the Tabors fell quickly from grace as they became increasingly destitute. Horace’s death and the deterioration of Baby Doe’s relationship with her daughters soon followed, leaving her alone and impoverished. Removed from her former glory, Baby Doe became a recluse and began a descent into madness, causing further speculation even after her death.

Gretchen am Spinnrade: A character studyAlexandra Mester – MusicFaculty Mentor: Dr. Amity Bryson

Gretchen am Spinnrade is a beloved German lied written by Franz Schubert about the hopeless ingénue, Gretchen of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust. A character study of Gretchen reveals the source of the pain and heartache she feels while at her spinning wheel. In this study, Gretchen’s

motives, desires, past, and source of her unhappiness will be studied. The 6/8 meter and circular 8th note pattern in the right hand of the accompaniment gives us the picture of Gretchen at her spinning wheel as she reflects on the memories of her lost lover. In the left hand of the accompaniment, the rhythmic pattern reflects her foot pumping the foot pedal of the spinning wheel. While the work as a whole has been vigorously studied, a character study will enhance the melodic motives and musical analysis and bring a deeper understanding of Gretchen’s aching and dying heart.

1:15A Piece of PaperYessica Ramirez (Communication: Emphasis in Film and Digital Media)Faculty Mentor: Nicole Esquibel, M.F.A.

“A Piece of Paper” is a documentary about a woman discussing her struggles as an undocumented immigrant: fear of deportation, difficulties with health insurance, and starting a new life. The purpose of this documentary is to open the eyes of people who are ignorant of the problems that immigrants face.

This project is significant to existing scholarship concerning problems that immigrants encounter, because it addresses the specific situations and particular dilemmas that are the immigrant experience. This documentary provides context for the study of the disadvantages and advantages of being an undocumented immigrant.

1:30Comparing Sugars between Gin Preparation MethodsAriel Baggette (Post-Baccalaureate Pre-med)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Joseph Roberts

Gin production across the world has a storied and tumultuous past that has culminated into two main methods of crafting gin. The first method that was discovered is known as compound gin, and is made by botanicals being added to a neutral grain spirit and then given time to coalesce. The second method requires a second distillation with the flavoring botanicals, giving it the name, distilled gin. It is conjectured that the botanicals added to gin impart quantities and types of sugar based on their natural profile and that there will be a higher amount of sugars found in a compound gin rather than in a distilled gin. Distilled gin is believed to have less sugar because the second distillation with botanicals chemically changes the sugars present due to the heat required to distill. Studies were performed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine if the sugar profiles for each botanical varied between the two gin production methods. The botanicals used in this analysis were juniper berries, orange peel, coriander seeds, angelica root, and licorice root, which are all commonly used in flavoring gin. The sugars that were identifiable were maltose, glucose, sucrose, and fructose. It was found that the data from this research empirically support the hypothesis that gins contain higher sugar levels. Further research is required to identify the specific sugars and verify the results.

1:45Salman Rushdie’s Authorial VoiceLauren Martin (English)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Kelly Minerva

This presentation centers around the writing style of Salman Rushdie through an examination of his award-winning novel, Midnight’s Children. Rushdie’s authorial identity, expressed through the protagonist Saleem, is that of a humorous and omniscient story-teller inspired by elements from both British and Indian traditions. He skips chronological order, spoils characters’ endings and main events, and plays with language and phrases; this unorthodox technique give Salman Rushdie a voice that is uniquely his own.

BREAK: 2:00 – 2:15

2:15Red, Rank, Romance, and the Replication RevolutionNicole Mathis (MS Counseling Psychology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jordan Wagge

This presentation will discuss the current climate of psychological research and consider the results of a meta-analytic study in the context of that climate. Our laboratory completed a replication of Elliot et al.’s (2010) experiment 3, in which the authors demonstrated that heterosexual female participants would rate a picture of a male to be more attractive when surrounded by red coloring than when surrounded by gray. The replication was completed as part of a larger worldwide collaboration via the Collaborative Replications and Education Project (CREP), a crowdsourcing project that recruits undergraduate research labs to provide a service to the field by replicating highly cited

research. In addition to our lab, eight other labs completed direct replications of the same study and we analyzed the data in a meta-analysis. The meta-analytic findings do not support the original findings by Elliot et. al (2010). A summary of the finding will be presented alongside a discussion of how the field has begun to employ mechanisms to evaluate replicability of research and encourage best research practices in the future.

2:30Art Education and Social Justice: Lessons from RwandaKristin O’Halloran (MS Education) Faculty Mentor: Dr. Karen Garber-Miller

Last summer, 15 educators took the scholastic journey of a lifetime to Rwanda. The Fulbright-Hays project: From Genocide to Regeneration: An Exploration of Rwandan Social Justice Issues through the Lens of Education, included a study tour to experience historical sites, first-hand testimonies, and immersion into Rwanda’s rich culture. Upon return, teachers integrated the knowledge gained through special topics research into their K-12 curriculum. A collection of artifacts, materials, and resources were put into an all-encompassing electronic educational repository. This presentation focuses on the implementation of the 7-8 grade Visual Arts curriculum at Turner Middle School in Kansas City, Kansas. Short activities to teach students empathy escalated into a month-long PBL unit involving the entire community. Artwork from the 1994 Genocide and the reconciliation that followed, as well as the introduction to Art Therapy, challenged the modern teenager to understand a country’s complicated past while discovering an outlet for trauma victims. Students were shown that one of the smallest countries in Africa has a thriving contemporary

art scene, improving their cultural competency and expanding their world-view. This experience led to the transformation of a unit into a large-scale advocacy project empowering the community. This presentation will exhibit how KCK middle-schoolers witnessed the cross-cultural nature of art and embraced the parallel lessons of Rwanda to adapt them to their own lives.

2:45Determination of Sugar Content in GinCourtney Tabish (Pre-Health) Faculty Mentor: Dr. Joseph Roberts

Gin is a clear spirit that is produced by redistilling grain or malt ethanol with its predominate flavor derived from juniper berries. Juniper berries provide a majority of the extracted sugars found in gin including glucose, sucrose, maltose, and fructose. Different preparations of gin, usually dry or compound, must be prepared with juniper berries but their unique production methods generate characteristic sugar profiles. Thus, sugar profiles can be used to probe different classifications of gin. The sugars are analyzed via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) once tagged with an ultraviolet chromophore. The resulting chromatograms are analyzed based on retention time and peak height. This information provides sugar identity and concentration.

An Investigation of SES Priming and HungerAbigail Conner (Psychology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jordan Wagge

Previous research has demonstrated that priming participants to think of themselves as relatively poor (versus relatively wealthy) exhibited increased calorie intake in a taste test (Bratanova et al., 2013) and that the anxiety related to relative deprivation is a factor in this causal chain. As a first step in understanding the mechanisms that produce this effect, we attempted to replicate and extend this research by conducting an online survey with MTurk participants with dependent variables of estimated hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and amount of food the person feels capable of eating (all self-report rather than behavioral measures). Our preliminary results revealed that the priming task employed in the original study was not well suited for the MTurk population, so we redesigned the study to employ a task we felt would give the study more power, with more covariates to control for extraneous factors that may have been influencing the effect of the manipulation on the dependent variables (such as how long ago the person ate). We still did not find any effect of the manipulation. Given that the manipulation employed in the original study elicited a moderately large effect and subsequent studies have demonstrated similar in-vivo effects (Sim et al., 2018), we anticipate that our self-report measures may not have been adequate in measuring effects of the manipulation.

These Shining Lives Set DesignBethany Elliott (Theatre: Acting and Design & Technology)Faculty Mentor: Jason Harris, M.F.A.

I will be presenting a model and set design I created for the Avila Theatre Department mainstage production of These Shining Lives. The play is about the Radium Girls who worked in radium dial factories in the early 20th century. Though the women were given a good wage unheard of at the time for unskilled workers and women in general, they were also exposed to life-threatening workplace hazards due to constant exposure to radium. The set design is an abstract design of the inside of a clock with an industrial, period paint treatment. The myriad levels of the set allow many opportunities for flexible staging and quick transitions between settings. The design also allows opportunities for the actors to demonstrate the afflictions they experienced from radium poisoning.

Much Ado About Nothing Costume DesignLee Gordon (Theatre Design & Technology)Faculty Mentor: Jason Harris, M.F.A.

My presentation will feature my work as costume designer for the Theatre Department production of Much Ado About Nothing. On display will be a costume example and my research materials. Our production of the play was a period piece, meaning the design elements were meant to reflect a particular time and place in history. The play is set in Messina, Italy, during Shakespeare’s time. Thus, the costumes are based on the research I did on Italian style from the early 1600s.

The Cold Shoulder Effect and Comfort FoodBraeden Hall (MS in Psychology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jordan Wagge

The “cold shoulder effect” describes an effect that occurs when participants who have been experimentally induced to feel socially isolated (as opposed to included) perceive the room they’re in as being colder (Zhong & Leonardelli, 2008). Additional experiments have demonstrated that for some participants, the negative emotions associated with social exclusion can be alleviated by the consumption of comfort food such as chicken soup (Troisi & Gabriel, 2011). In an extension of these two studies, we were interested in whether social exclusion would make certain types of comfort foods (warm, room temperature, and cold) more desirable than non-comfort foods. In an online experiment using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, we randomly assigned participants to conditions previously demonstrated to elicit feelings of social isolation or exclusion. After this manipulation, we first attempted to replicate the cold shoulder effect by asking them to estimate the temperature of the room they were in as well as average temperatures in a list of cities around the world. Next, we had them rate the desirability of a set of foods preselected for comfort level (high or low) and temperature. We were not able to replicate the original “cold shoulder” effect, nor were there any differences between groups in terms of which foods they found more desirable. We will discuss our findings, limitations, and future directions for research.

Lighting Design for Much Ado About NothingEliza Knopps (Theatre Design & Technology)Faculty Mentor: Jason Harris, M.F.A.

The process of creating a staged production of any show requires all elements of theatrical design to collaborate. One of these elements is lighting, which reinforces the directed moments, emotions and location. Shakespeare’s plays present a unique challenge because of their malleability. When designing a show that visits many different locales on a static set, setting the scene falls on the lighting designer to create the mood and bring the audience from a garden to a church.

These Shining Lives Lighting DesignEric Reeb (Music and Theatre Design & Technology)Faculty Mentor: Jason Harris, M.F.A.

I will be presenting the lighting design I created for the Avila Theatre Department mainstage production of These Shining Lives. The primary function of any lighting design is selective visibility, which my work fulfilled. In addition, the set design and staging were minimal is the sense that there was a lack of scenic elements to indicate location. As a result, the light design also had to help create the settings of the world of the characters. Such locations include a watch factory, home kitchen, lake shore, and medical office. Further, the design also had to assist in demonstrating the plight of the victims of the story as their bodies turn against them due to radium poisoning.

Surface Characterization of NaBiS2 NanoparticlesAllie Roth – Biochemistry and Molecular BiologyFaculty Mentor: Dr. Joseph Roberts

The search for new semiconductors that could enhance energy harvesting devices such as solar cells or thermoelectrics has led to the investigation of various ternary bismuth chalcogenides (AxMyXz, A= alkali metal, M= bismuth, X= sulfur, selenium, or tellurium). Most of these compounds are historically known only in the solid state, and only recently have these compounds started to be investigated in the liquid phase as nanoparticles. NaBiS2 nanoparticles are bismuth chalcogenides that exhibit a low bandgap (1.4 eV), which is in the ideal 1.1-1.5 eV range for use in solar cells. A problem with this compound, though, is that it is prone to surface oxidation, which can affect its optical and electronic properties. Little is known about the surface chemistry involved that contributes to the optoelectronic properties and stability of NaBiS2. The types of ligands and how they are bound to the surface can strongly influence the particle size, shape, and stability. In this study, NaBiS2 nanoparticles were synthesized in solution and the surface chemistry was studied using various 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. While X-ray diffraction confirmed the product to be NaBiS2, the absence of broadened peaks in 1H NMR indicated that the oleylamine ligands were not well bound to the surface of the particles. This also resulted in increased surface oxidation and decreased particle stability.

WBV Improves Flexibility In Cerebral Palsy ClientDaniel Wells (Kinesiology)Faculty Mentor: Dr. Gerald Larson

Introduction: Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder characterized by interruptions and blockages of neurochemical communication between the brain, spinal cord, and motor neurons resulting in involuntary muscle contractions. Over time these muscles become hypertonic and spasm. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) has been shown to reduce muscle tonicity and spasms. However, PNF can be time consuming and fatiguing for the practitioner. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) has been shown to improve muscle extensibility after a few minutes of use. The purpose of this case study was to compare the effects of PNF and WBV on the range of motion of an individual with cerebral palsy. Methods: The Avila Kinesiology Lab was used for this activity. Select joint ranges of motion were measured using a goniometer prior to each treatment. Treatment one involved assisted standing on the Power Plate for one bout of WBV at 50 mhz. The second treatment involved PNF stretches for the upper and lower extremities. A third treatment session combined WBV and PNF techniques. Each treatment was immediately followed by a post-treatment measuring of joint range of motion. Results/Discussion: WBV produced more symmetrical improvements compared to PNF, and comparable results to the combined treatment. The conclusion is that WBV may be a viable as a concurrent treatment with manual therapy techniques, or even an alternative when time is a factor.
