8th Annual

Welcome Message from the Coordinators

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 8th annual Flint Student Research Conference! This conference focuses on recognizing and celebrating the significant contributions of students involved in research and creative activities. This meeting continues the partnership established last year between the University of Michigan-Flint, Mott Community College, and Kettering University; truly making this event representative of the entire city of Flint. In an effort to affirm the value of student scholarship and faculty collaboration, this event has brought over one-hundred fifty talented students (both undergraduate and graduate), numerous faculty advisors, and guests together for a day of sharing, engaging, and learning. The University of Michigan-Flint is extremely excited to host another – in what we hope will be many – Student Research Conference! This year’s event includes 78 oral and poster presentations, demonstrations, and performances. The conference starts with consecutive oral sessions. Immediately following that is a poster session; which will conclude the event. All presentation details are included in this program booklet. Students who have made the decision to participate in this year’s conference truly represent the best and brightest scholars to be found on our respective campuses. Not only have they demonstrated the initiative to rigorously explore complex ideas beyond those taught in the classroom, but they have also bravely accepted the challenge to share their work with the public. This is no easy task. So we offer our hearty congratulations to our students for their many accomplishments. Faculty advisors from each of the partnering institutions are also to be commended for tirelessly working with our student scholars. In their capacity as advisors, our faculty have offered encouragement, expertise, criticism, and support to student researchers. Through this support, our faculty demonstrate their commitment to carrying on the intellectual traditions that have made our institutions what they are today. To recognize their efforts, faculty advisors are listed following the students’ names with each abstract. On behalf of the University of Michigan-Flint, Mott Community College, and Kettering University, thank you for supporting this celebration of research and creativity!

ABSTRACTS Abstract #1 Project Title: Adolescent Depression Screening in the Emergency Department Presenter(s): Jennifer Boop, Graduate student; Nicole Gill, Graduate student; Dorathy Akalefu, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Carman Turkelson, Nursing; Denise Campbell, Nursing Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The number of adolescents seeking care for depressive disorders is increasing. Most presentations to the primary care setting or emergency department (ED) are for physical complaints and concurrent depressive symptoms that may go unrecognized and subsequently left untreated due to a focus on physical complaints. Health care providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses, are more likely to screen for depression during preventive care visits when a more comprehensive examination and preventative evaluation is being performed (Zenlea, 2014). However, adolescent patients are visiting providers for episodic, acute illnesses throughout the year, and may not be seen for routine, preventive care visits. The missed preventive examination increases the likelihood that routine depression screenings are not being done by their primary care providers (PCPs), consequently, depressive symptoms are not being recognized early and the appropriate interventions are not being made (Rutman, Shenessa, & Becker, 2008). For this reason, the ED setting represents an opportunity for early identification and referral for identification of depression in this vulnerable population (Chun, Duffy, & Linakis, 2013). The purpose of this project is to identify adolescents who are depressed or at risk for depression by administering a standardized depression screening tool to adolescents age 12-17 who present to the ED in a rural, acute care hospital in Northern Michigan. Currently, adolescent patients age 12-17 who present to the ED at a rural, acute care hospital in Northern Michigan are not screened for depression. Although depression screening is available, it is typically only used in practice when the patient arrives in a mental health crisis. Additionally, the nurses are not required to screen for depression as part of the routine triage process in the ED. Finally, there may be a misperception among the ED healthcare team that adolescents are not at high risk

for depression while others may believe that the adolescents mental health needs are being addressed with their PCP, making screening unnecessary. Abstract #2 Project Title: Characteristics ofPregnancy loss-Miscarriagesand Therapeutic Abortionsat the Hamilton Community Health Network Presenter(s): Sabah Ganai, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Rie Suzuki, Public Health and Health Sciences Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the characteristics of mothers who had a miscarriage or therapeutic abortion before the current pregnancy. A self-administered survey and the Electronic Medical Record were utilized in 2017. The eligibility criteria for this survey included aged between 18 to 45 years, English speakers, and given birth in the past 24 months. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were conducted. 84 mothers had undergone an abortion in the past where 57 % had miscarriage and 43% had therapeutic abortion. The majority were African American (68%), single or separated (80%), WIC enrollee (77%), Medicaid (87%) and high school graduates (36%). The result showed that therapeutic abortion was more likely to occur in African American mothers than their counterpart [ X2 (1, N=82) = 4.92, p<.05] and Spontaneous abortion to happen among the WIC mothers [ X2 (1, N=82) = 4.13, p<.05.]. Health education programs to avoid the unexpected pregnancy and to improve the quality of a maternity life are needed in low-income areas through the Hamilton Community and Health Network sites. Abstract #3 Project Title: Off-Grid Power System Presenter(s): Bethanie Wolodkin, Undergraduate student; Tom Brown, Undergraduate student; James Amey, Undergraduate student; Akshat Kumbhat, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jeffrey Dobbs, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Our project is a small off-grid power system. Taking power from a traditional campfire or the sun and converting it to electrical energy to charge a phone.

Abstract #4 Project Title: Water Tunnel Presenter(s): Kristal Whitehead, Undergraduate student; Daniel Delong, Undergraduate student; Kyle Willoughby, Undergraduate student; Zainab Alismaiel, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Quamrul Mazumder, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Understanding fluid dynamics can be very hard for students due to the fact that it can be hard to visualize the different attributes of water. The idea behind this project is to help students understand fluid mechanics more by giving them a way to visualize the information that is taught in the classroom. This will be done by creating a transitioning current in a water channel and adding dye into the water. The dye will allow students to see how the water flows and moves around the object being tested. This is accomplished by our closed system which is operated by a pump that circulates the water through the test area that is constructed of polycarbonate sheets. Through this observation of laminar, transitional and turbulent flow over an object in the testing area, reinforces the lessons taught in class with real world examples. Abstract #5 Project Title: 2019 SAE Baja Roll Cage Presenter(s): Aaron Latchaw, Undergraduate student; Brett Viers, Undergraduate student; Jonathan Walker, Undergraduate student; Austen Waterman, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Quamrul Mazumder, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The main objective for this project is creating the 2019 SAE Baja Roll Cage. SAE, the Society of Automotive Engineers is a professional association involved with many transportation sectors. SAE has university level competitions one of which is Baja. The Baja competition is one where a single seat off-road vehicle is assembled, put through different endurance, and reliability events. Overall this is project will revolve around the SAE Baja roll cage. This is critical to the overall fit and function of the entire project which is the Baja race vehicle. The frame is the basis for all other design considerations because it is the foundation for all other components. The first SAE Baja car for the University of Michigan – Flint was completed/raced in 2016. Overall the motivation for

this project is to involve engineering’s senior design directly into the University of Michigan – Flint SAE Baja team. This will dedicate groups of students whom are motivated to design, build, and race their labors. Participation in things such as this give students the ability to see their design in action. The end goal is to have senior level students designing and working on an extracurricular activity hosted by an engineering professional society. Abstract #6 Project Title: Analysis and Design Optimization of Seat Rail Structures in Various Operating Conditions Presenter(s): Santhosh Sivan Kathiresan, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Raghu Echempati, Mechanical Engineering Institution: Kettering University Abstract: Abstract: Automotive seating rail structures are one of the key components in the automotive industry because they carry the weight of a passenger. Seats also hold the structure for seating foams and other assembled important components such as side airbag and seatbelt systems. The entire seating is supported firmly and attached to the bottom bodywork of the vehicle through the linkage assembly known as the seat rails, which are adjustable in their longitudinal motion. The design of the seating rails should withstand safely the complete weight of the driver/passenger, and other assembled parts. Functional requirements such as strength, durability and crash safety are important to avoid or minimize injuries to the occupants. Keeping the above requirements in view, the goal of this research is to study the design of an existing automotive seat and carryout preliminary analysis of the seat rails under different operating conditions. Finite element analysis using SolidWorks simulation tool has been carried out for structural, vibration (dynamic), and durability analyses. Design optimization using different grades of steel, aluminum, and multi-materials has also been carried out. Based on these studies a newly designed seat rail structure to increase the performance criteria is proposed.

Abstract #7 Project Title: Effects of Lead on Early Embryonic Development Following the Flint Water Crisis Presenter(s): Nicodemus Monear, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Besa Xhabija, Chemistry and Biochemistry Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: In recent years, Flint, MI has experienced severe lead contamination in the water supply. With the Flint River as a newly acquired city water source, lead leached from water supply lines resulting in contamination far greater than EPA & CDC defined action levels. In this analysis, we have exposed embryonic stem cells (ESC) to lead, at concentrations relevant to those experienced during the Flint water crisis. We have assessed the effect on (1) pluripotency for undifferentiated cells in self-renewal, (2) the formation of embryonic bodies following differentiation, and (3) the relative expression of genetic markers associated with self-renewal & differentiation. Abstract #8 Project Title: I am 3D HoverCraft Presenter(s): Joseph Wilkinson, Undergraduate student; Udit Shelat, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Quamrul Mazumder, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The motivation that we had to work on this design project was to be able to compete in the ASME “I Am 3D” Design Competition that will be commencing in Michigan in the month of April. Furthermore, this project gives the group the ability to apply concepts and theories that we have learned in previous classes in practical application. For the competition, the main objective is to design and manufacture a hovercraft-using additive manufacturing that will pick up, carry and will deliver a payload after going through a course. The payload for the competition is a 3D printed two-inch cube. Our primary goal is to be able to participate in the ASME competition and furthermore it is a huge benefit for us as it also displays the extracurricular activities on campus, because we also have the ASME club on our campus. Abstract #10 Project Title: Objective measure of early mobility in a patient post-heart transplant surgery: A case report

Presenter(s): Sun Hye Yim, Graduate student; Kelsey Fischer, Graduate student; Amber Baldwin, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Heart transplantation surgery has been shown to be one of the best treatments for patients that are in the final stage of heart failure. Early mobility programs have been reported to benefit cardiopulmonary function and quality of life after heart transplant surgery. The purpose of this study is to objectively measure how early mobility affects a patient s/p heart transplant surgery. Case Description: The patient is a 51-year-old male who had a known non-ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent orthotopic heart transplant with no complications. Patient was then admitted in the cardiac intensive care unit and received physical therapy beginning 3 days post-operation. Outcome: The patient demonstrated an increase in mobility, measured by AM-PAC “6-Clicks” from time of initial evaluation to discharge at which he was deemed fully independent, and was appropriately discharged to home from the hospital at 16 days post-operation. Discussion: Higher level evidence studies (randomized control trials) should be performed to attain quantitative and generalizable data regarding early mobility impact on patient function post- heart transplant. The limitations of this study included the limited data collection time and the patient not being able to perform to full physical capability due to medical equipment constraints. Abstract #11 Project Title: Pregnancy Related Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction in a 29-Year-Old Pregnant Female During the Third Trimester: A Case Report Presenter(s): Jesse Pelkey, Graduate student; Jordan Willson, Graduate student; Melissa Houghton, Graduate student; Robert Budlong, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Karen Berg, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint

Abstract: Background: Low back pain is a common dysfunction affecting approximately 75% of the antepartum population. Due to risks of taking analgesic medication during pregnancy, options for managing low back pain are limited. An alternative is a combination of core strengthening and a gentle manual therapy called Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) though there is little evidence regarding its efficacy in the antepartum population. Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of muscle energy techniques in conjunction with core strengthening exercises in treating low back pain in an antepartum woman. Results: The patient’s low back pain of 5/10 NPRS was resolved to 1/10 after the first session of physical therapy and was discharged at 0/10 pain. She also demonstrated a resolution of her pelvic asymmetry with a negative bilateral stork test after the first session and reported an increase in overall function according to her Patient Specific Functional Scale. Discussion: Muscle Energy Techniques proved to be immediately effective in decreasing low back pain in the antepartum population. Physical therapists are trained to use MET and as such, should be considered as a viable treatment option for those experiencing low back pain during pregnancy due to pelvic malalignment. Abstract #12 Project Title: Measures of Activity and Participation Over Time in People with Parkinson's Disease Who Engage in a Student Led Exercise Program Presenter(s): Louis Haase, Undergraduate student, Alec Drew, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Amy Yorke, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is fastest growing neurological disorder in the world with ~ 6.2 million people and is estimated to grow to 14.2 million in 2040. Symptoms of PD include both motor (tremor, bradykinesia, postural instability, and rigidity) and non-motor (e.g. quality of life, etc). The purpose of this project is to describe the measures of activity and participation over time in people with PD who engage in a weekly student led exercise program (sPWR!). Individuals with PD (N=13) who attended weekly sPWR! class were recruited. At two separate points in time (3 months apart), motor function was

assessed with standardized outcome measures (Five Times Sit-to-stand [5TSTS], Timed Up and Go [TUG], TUG Cognitive [TUGc], 10-Meter Walk Test, Truncal Postural Measurement); and quality of life was measured with the Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39. From baseline to the second data collection, 62% (n=8) showed improvements in gait speed and 5TSTS, while 46% (n=6) showed improved posture. People with PD attending a weekly sPWR! improved or maintained many of the motor or non-motor symptoms of PD. Additional research is required to track participant progress over time. Abstract #13 Project Title: encoding specificity and lineups Presenter(s): Eva Alterman, Undergraduate student; Teairre Embery, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Peter Molinaro, Psychology Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: This study seeks to understand the principle of encoding specificity in eyewitness memory. According to Vaidya 2002, encoding specificity is remembering information at the place where it was coded, and being able to retrieve the information in the same location. It also states that encoding actions determine where the information will be stored in determine the effectiveness of retrieval cues. Being in the direct establishment will improve eyewitness memory when the locations match whereas otherwise. If proven true, could be used in an eyewitness lineup? This study will be used to exploit the condition where the spoof crime happens. The lineup will be manipulated in where it is administered, this can take place in either the same location or a different location. We predict that if the lineup matches where the crime happened, participants are more likely to pick the correct suspect from the photos. If proven effective this study could assist law enforcement with eyewitness investigation and increase lineup performance in today's time. Abstract #14 Project Title: The Weapon Focus Effect:Veterans vs. Civilian Presenter(s): Chadd Measel, Undergraduate student; Dominique Flannery, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Peter Molinaro, Psychology Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The weapon focus effect is when witnesses observe a crime, in most situations a violent crime,

who tend not to remember the perpetrator's physical appearance or clothing, rather they remember the weapon in great detail, than if a perpetrator was empty-handed or with a neutral object (Pickel, 2019). Law Enforcement across the country regularly interview and interrogate eye witnesses about violent crimes on a daily basis, however, the eye witness may have faulty memories of said event and inexplicably falsely identify an innocent suspect. This has led to potentially thousands of innocent persons being sentenced to prison for many years or even death row. However, little research has been conducted as to whether or not a person's prior experience with violence can attribute to an eye witness accurately picking out the perpetrator from memory in a police lineup. A further underutilized population for research is our nation's veterans. Even though veterans account for an estimated 10 percent (18.2 million) of the total population, as of the 2017 U.S. Census Bureau estimation. In this study we ask the question if veterans are better able to identify a perpetrator in a lineup than their civilian counterparts? Our hypothesis is that veterans who have experienced repeated violence (i.e., combat deployments, military police, etc.) during their careers are better able to identify a suspect in a lineup than a civilian without prior experience of a violent situation. Abstract #15 Project Title: Effect of Graphene on Fracture Resistance on GNP Composite Presenter(s): Thomas Brown, Undergraduate student; Garrett Knowles, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Olanrewaju Aluko, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: For our research we have used an epoxy mixture for both pure epoxy and graphene impregnated epoxy at two different mixture ratios. to make the epoxy we used a resin and hardener mixed at a 2:1 ratio and a 3.788:1 ratio. Once the epoxy was mixed it was then poured into rectangular molds and allowed to cure until they were hardened. The epoxy samples were then tested by using a NSTRON Charpy Impact apparatus to examine the energy that is absorbed by the epoxy and how much energy is required for fracture. We then used a Nikon Epiphot device to take photographs of the fracture surfaces and compare the pure epoxy samples to the graphene samples.

Abstract #16 Project Title: Modelling and Simulation of an axial piston swash plate pump-A feasible study for an alternate design for pulsation reduction Presenter(s): Urvi Galani, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Ram Chandran, Mechanical Engineering Institution: Kettering University Abstract: Feasibility aspect of a novel approach toward pulse reduction in an Axial Piston Swashplate Hydraulic Pump is the topic addressed in this thesis. Design of the envisaged actuating system requires an understanding of forces and moments acting on the swashplate when this novel actuation is implemented. This thesis addresses these concerns. For years, pulse reduction was achieved by providing relief grooves and precompression. Precompression was achieved by providing relief grooves. In this thesis, precompression was achieved by shifting the dead centers. A simplified mathematical model of a pump was developed simulating the pumping operation and allowing modifications of the system parameters to study performance. Modeling was done using MATLAB/SIMULINK® S-functions. A parametric study was also carried out using the model for variation in groove configuration and dead center(s) location. The results are promising to continue the further investigation in this area. Abstract #17 Project Title: Rehabilitation Recovery in an 86-year-old Male After Controlling Periprosthetic Infection Status Post Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report Presenter(s): Mariah Drebes, Graduate student; Megan Jones, Graduate student; Joseph Hladik, Graduate student; Eric Kinney, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Erica Sherman, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery for older adults with debilitating osteoarthritis to increase functional ability and reduce pain. A postoperative risk seen with TKA is periprosthetic infection (PPI). This complication can prolong rehabilitation and negatively affect outcomes. The purpose of this case study is to describe rehabilitation recovery limitations as a result of post left TKA PPI and implantation of an antibiotic spacer. The patient was not able to attend physical therapy until the infection was controlled and antibiotic spacer was replaced with a joint

prosthesis. The Delaware Physical Therapy Clinic Rehab Practice Guidelines for Unilateral TKA is a 4-phase protocol that was implemented as treatment for this patient. The patient began phase 2 of this protocol which focused on improving range of motion (ROM), balance, and volitional strength. The patient attended therapy 3 times a week for a total of 12 weeks. Upon discharge patient demonstrated improved left knee flexion ROM, bilateral single leg balance, lower extremity functional scale, and five times sit to stand; as well as decreased swelling and timed up and go time. Despite prolonged recovery time, the patient was able to make improvements in functional mobility. Abstract #18 Project Title: High Intensity Resisted Functional Training in a 62 Year-Old Male Status Post Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report Presenter(s): Samuel Kelland, Graduate student; Alec Brew, Graduate student; Christina Gainer, Graduate student; Travis Penrod, Graduate student; Chelsea Thomas, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy; Suzanne Trojanowski, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Stroke occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is lost or interrupted. The presentation of functional limitations depends on the size and location of where the blood supply interruption occurs. The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of high intensity resisted functional training in a 62-year-old male post ischemic stroke with a high premorbid activity level. Case Description: The patient was diagnosed with a right ischemic stroke. The patient lived alone in a secluded rural area whose activities of daily living included hunting, fishing, and gathering/chopping wood for his home’s wood burning stove. Physical therapy interventions catered to the patient’s unique requirement to return to independent living. These included resisted gait training, obstacle courses, chopping exercises, and squatting exercises. Outcomes: Improvements were noted in functional reach, balance (timed up and go cognitive), and sit to stand transfers (five time sit to stand). Discussion: The interventions addressed the individual’s unique lifestyle helped to improve the patient’s ability to live independently. Future research is needed to help connect interventions used to address specific functional activities.

Abstract #19 Project Title: Gender and Memory Presenter(s): Sabrina Dougherty, Undergraduate student; Danielle Miller, Undergraduate student; Samantha Luckett, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Peter Molinaro, Psychology Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Most studies into the psychology of eyewitnesses pertaining to gender-bias have been very narrow, and have not addressed how evolutionary defense mechanisms could possibly affect how diagnostic women are. Due to the burdens of a nine-month pregnancy, women who selected men who were able to invest resources in them and their offspring would have been able to continue their gene pool. This evolutionary adaptation is important in eyewitness identification because women may have an advantage when differentiating between men's faces due to this increased investment. Women have also been shown to be better at identifying facial expressions in multiple studies, including one done in 2006. Specifically, this study finds that women showed faster RTs than men to negative emotions presents presented. Additionally, it has been found that women have more accurate and detailed memory recall. The main reason for the differences in the accuracy of memory recall seems to be the description of the victim. However, the participants were also detailed about the description of the target. We hypothesize that due to evolutionary adaptations, better ability to quickly identify negative facial expressions, and accurate detailed memory recall including person descriptions, women will be better at distinguishing old and new faces. Abstract #20 Project Title: Description of mobility and strength outcomes for a 14 month old with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 receiving Spinraza shot: a case report. Presenter(s): Casey Keane, Graduate student; Katy Tice, Graduate student; James Dunavant, Graduate student; Miles Drobish, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Bara Alsalaheen, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a classification of a group of autosomal recessive disorders causing atrophy of muscles and in the most severe forms results in

death due to respiratory failure before the age of 2. Nusinersen (Spinraza) is theorized to improve the prognosis of SMA. This patient case report aims to identify and describe the strength and mobility outcomes in a patient with SMA type 1 who has received Spinraza. Case Description: A 14 month old female with SMA Type 1, receiving 12mg of Spinraza once every four months received early-on physical therapy 2 times a week. The patient received their first injection at 4.5 months of age. The patient presented with hypotonia, hyporeflexia and pulmonary dysfunction. Outcomes: This child was tested at 3 weeks and 3 months post post Spinraza shot and positive outcomes were found in the areas of posture, balance, and strength. Discussion: The importance of Spinraza for SMA patients is still being studied, but based on previous literature and results of this case study, Spinraza is valuable to improve patient function. Abstract #21 Project Title: The Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Improving Balance and Mobility in a 29-year Old Female with Call-Fleming Syndrome: A Case Report Presenter(s): Olivia Chasteen, Graduate student; Meryl Cripe, Graduate student; Matthew Zitny, Graduate student; Jillian Odom, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Sarah Case, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Physiologic alterations during pregnancy create an environment for cerebrovascular disorders including reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and subarachnoid hemorrhage. RCVS found to be idiopathic, is classified under Call-Fleming Syndrome. Call-Fleming Syndrome is the sudden onset of severe headache, with or without neurological deficits. The purpose of this case report is to describe the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) with resisted gait training, BLE strengthening, and balance training in order to assess changes in balance and mobility. Case Description: A 29-year old female with a history of stroke and subsequent diagnosis of Call-Fleming Syndrome prior to outpatient physical therapy (PT). Examination revealed impaired functional mobility, decreased strength and increased tone. PNF was implemented 2-3 times per week for 6 weeks. Outcomes: Significant improvements were observed with the Activity Based Confidence (ABC) Scale.

Minimal improvements were observed in Single Leg Stance. No significant improvements were observed in TUG scores. Discussion: Inclusion of PNF, paired with traditional PT interventions, appeared to improve balance of a female diagnosed with Call-Fleming Syndrome and history of CVA. Future longitudinal studies are needed in order to verify dosage, outcome measures, and the effectiveness of PNF on Call-Fleming Syndrome. Abstract #22 Project Title: Implementation of Plyometric Exercise in a 15-Year-Old Male with History of Traumatic Tibia and Fibular Fracture Repaired by Open Reduction Internal Fixation: A Case Report Presenter(s): Emily Donovan, Graduate student; Megan McKinley, Graduate student; Joseph Martenka, Graduate student; Brandon Thorson, Graduate student; Catherine Cui, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Ryan Bean, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and purpose: Tibia fibular fractures represent less than 10 percent of all lower extremity injuries making research behind these fractures scarce.(1) Plyometric exercise has been found to increase efficiency of muscle contractions, jumping ability, strength and running economy.(2-7) The purpose of this case report is to describe the implementation and response of plyometric exercise in a patient who sustained a distal tibia fibular fracture. Case Description: The patient was a 15-year-old male who sustained a distal tibia fibular fracture due to direct trauma. Initial evaluation showed deficits in strength, range of motion and balance, gait abnormalities, ankle edema, and pain. Plyometric exercise was integrated as part of a return to sport program. Outcomes: Patient completed 31 visits and improved all outcome measures. Pain decreased from 4/10 to 0/10 and FOTO score improved from 47 points to 66 points. Strength and range of motion improved to within normal limits for patient’s age. Finally, single leg stance time increased in both time and difficulty. Discussion: Implementation of plyometric exercises for a distal tibia fibular fracture was found to support the patients return to sport. The patient was able to improve all outcome measures while achieving functional improvements without adverse effects.

Abstract #23 Project Title: Demystifying the Error Propagation Formula Presenter(s): Andrea Allen, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lisandro Hernandez, Chemistry and Biochemistry Ali Zand Chemistry and Biochemistry Institution: Kettering University Abstract: In this work, the problem of uncertainty or error propagation is analyzed from the standpoint of a linear mapping of probability distributions by means of an integral transform. We discuss, in particular, how to obtain the exact distribution of the outcome y, P(y), for a given function y = f(x), in terms of the distribution of the argument P(x). We show that the mapping of P(x) onto P(y) can be analytically performed in straightforward fashion for a large number of commonly found functions such as exp(x), ln(x), cos(x), sin(x), 1/x and x2. This approach naturally allows one to perform a direct and complete statistical analysis of the outcome, including determining the mean value ( ̅y), median (ym), standard deviation (σy), etc. Error propagation, in this context, reduces to the relationship between the standard deviation of the argument (σx) and that of the outcome variable (σy). The extension of this approach to other single-variable functions, as well as multi-variable functions, is easily attainable through the numerical solution of the integral transform in question; a process that amounts to the construction of a histogram. Abstract #24 Project Title: Investigation of crack propagation behavior of epoxy material under uniaxial tension using the acoustic emission Presenter(s): Pratik Jadhav, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Linda Zhu, Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: An engineering material which is perfect in all respects and built-in imperfections of various sorts is hardly available. These imperfections of the material cannot be avoided. The imperfections within the material tend to grow in the form of cracks, slips, dislocations, etc. due to stress which may eventually lead to failure. Growth of imperfections is accompanied by the release of short bursts of acoustic energy called acoustic emissions. To monitor the cracking behavior and fracture process of epoxy material subjected to tensile

loading acoustic emission technique. Acoustic emission signals were extracted using R-15 alpha sensors. Their characteristic frequency spectrums, amplitudes, hits, power, voltage, time graphs and dominant bands were obtained to reveal fracture modes. Tensile test experiment was performed, and the data was extracted using AEwin software and this data was analyzed using Matlab. Abstract #25 Project Title: a psychoanalysis of cruel intentions Presenter(s): Starr Dado, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Amanda Lemaster, Psychology; Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: The project I will be demonstrating is a psychoanalysis of one of the main characters in the film “Cruel Intentions,” directed by Roger Kimble. My work analyzes the characters display of a disorder in which I diagnosed called antisocial personality disorder. I back this theory up with evidence that links the characters behavior to symptoms of said disorder. Abstract #26 Project Title: Outcomes of Strength, Balance and Aerobic Training in a 66 Year Old Female with Churg Strauss Syndrome: A Case Report Presenter(s): Hannah Jansheski, Graduate student; Emily Hohman, Graduate student; McKaila Rose, Graduate student; Natasha Holiday, Graduate student; Samantha Kershen, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy; Min Huang, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background/Purpose: Churg Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a rare systemic condition of unknown origin causing necrotizing vasculitis of small-to-medium sized blood vessels that presents primarily in the fourth through sixth decades of life with equal incidence between men and women. The purpose of this case report was to describe the outcomes of intermittent episodes of strength and aerobic conditioning in a patient with CSS. Case Description: The patient was a 67-year-old female referred to physical therapy for two different episodes of care spanning 9 months after being diagnosed with CSS and secondary sequelae including foot drop, myalgic pain and neuropathy. Details of the clinical examination, evaluation and intervention strategies are provided.

Outcomes: After the physical therapy the patient improved in (1) Timed Up and Go (2) Five Times Sit-to-Stand and (3) Lower Extremity and Functional Scale, though secondary to the progressive nature of CSS and limiting fatigue levels, the patient was unable to return to full prior level of function. Discussion: Nine months of strengthening, balance, aerobic exercise and gait training generated long-term progression of mobility without detrimental effects in a patient with CSS. Results indicate that physical therapy intervention is likely beneficial for treating impairments associated with CSS. Abstract #27 Project Title: Functional Rehabilitation of an 81-year-old Female Three Months Post Right Total Elbow Arthroplasty: a Case Report Presenter(s): Kayla Contardi, Graduate student; Caitlin Kriengkrairut, Graduate student; Laura Schumacher, Graduate student; Benjamin Pierce, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Becky Rodda, Physical Therapy; William Suits, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: An 81-year-old female, following a right linked TEA for distal humerus fracture with functional limitations, was followed from 14 weeks post-op until discharge at 29 weeks post-op. This case report outlines an intervention consisting of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and use of modalities. The patient received treatment two times per week for 16 weeks and was given a home exercise program (HEP). Progression and regression of exercises were determined through clinical decision making by the physical therapist. Outcome measures consisted of range of motion (ROM) of the elbow, manual muscle testing (MMT) of the elbow, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and the QuickDASH. The patient had significant decrease in pain throughout treatment, reporting no pain at discharge. She had increased ROM in elbow flexion and extension, gaining 22 degrees of elbow flexion and 15 degrees of elbow extension. The QuickDASH scores did not show any significant change over the course of treatment. Physical therapy following a right linked TEA may be beneficial for patient management of pain and functional rehabilitation in the elderly. Abstract #28 Project Title: Impractical Jokers: The Influence of Interhemispheric Interaction on Prank Appreciation

Presenter(s): Kimberly Nguyen, Undergraduate student; Taylor Goulet, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jeannette Stein, Psychology Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The right hemisphere of the brain is important to humor comprehension. Because increased interhemispheric interaction (IHI) is associated with greater access to right hemisphere processing (Coulson & Wu, 2005), differences in IHI may explain, in part, individual differences in humor comprehension. IHI is the communication between the hemispheres of the brain. Individuals who have increased IHI are more likely to be sensation seeking (Christman, 2004). Sensation seekers have a need for complex and novel experiences. Pranks are jokes in which the target is embarrassed, surprised, or otherwise made uncomfortable. This may be considered a more complex experience than other types of humor. If increased IHI is associated with sensation seeking, people with increased IHI may be more likely to find pranks funnier than people who have lower IHI. In order to test the hypothesis, participants completed the Edinburg Handedness Inventory as a measure of IHI. Then, participants watched two videos (humorous pranks and humorous non-pranks), and rated how funny each video was. The results are expected to show that those who have higher IHI will rate prank videos funnier than non-prank videos. Additionally, those with higher IHI will rate the prank videos funnier than those participants with lower IHI. Abstract #29 Project Title: Effects of Strength Training in a 44-year-old Female with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: A Case Report Presenter(s): Danielle Visser, Graduate student; Kami Decker, Graduate student; Michael Rickard, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Leslie Smith, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background & Purpose: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is characterized by orthostatic intolerance symptoms with standing or sitting upright. POTS has a high association with an increase in functional disability; many with this syndrome are unable to work or perform activities of daily living without becoming extremely fatigued. The purpose of this case report

was to describe resistance training interventions and results in a female with POTS. Case Description: A 44 year old female was diagnosed with POTS five years ago. Examination revealed increased fatigue and decreased balance. Minimal improvements in exercise and daily activities tolerance were reported with an aerobic focused intervention program. Outcomes: Improvements were noted in the 6MWT (480ft), and MiniBesTest (4 points), while there were little objective improvement in fatigue. Additionally, the patient felt personal improvements in her alertness throughout the day and less shaky during exercise. Discussion: Resistance training demonstrated improvements in aerobic capacity and balance. Improvements were noted in personal confidence and the perception of fatigue but little improvement was seen in fatigue on a scale rating. Suggestion for future research is to continue to search for interventions to improve symptoms of POTS Abstract #30 Project Title: A Case Study to Explore Residual Deficits in AIDP Guillain-Barre Syndrome One Decade After Initial Onset Presenter(s): Rob Sweeney, Graduate student; Andrew Stec, Graduate student; Jeremy Orlando, Graduate student; Natalie Sturm, Graduate student; Briana Keller, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Amy Yorke, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and purpose: Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathic Guillain-Barré Syndrome (AIDP-GBS) is increasingly recognized as having sequelae that persist years or indefinitely. When individuals with a history of AIDP-GBS are seen in outpatient physical therapy, differential diagnosis must distinguish between AIDP-GBS sequelae and similarly presenting conditions to guide treatment. Case Description: A 52 year old Caucasian male presented to outpatient orthopedic physical therapy with a physician diagnosis of low back pain with sciatica. Upon taking the patient’s history, it appeared his complex patterns of pain, motor dysfunction, and sensory dysfunction could not be fully explained by this diagnosis and were in fact more characteristic of long term deficits commonly seen in patients with a history of AIDP-GB.

Outcomes: The patient received a score indicating moderate disability on the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, and a score on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 indicating mild depression. The patient demonstrated decreased performance on the 5 Time Sit to Stand task as well as decreased muscle strength in the left hip and ankle musculature. In his history, he reported burning pain in bilateral shoulder joints and posterior thighs, as well as fatigue significantly limiting activity. Discussion: A history of AIDP-GBS is associated with mild disability, especially due to fatigue and gait abnormalities, as well as poor self-reported quality of life up to a decade after diagnosis. Pain and paresthesias occur in most patients and frequently persist. Pain in the shoulders is not consistent with a diagnosis of low back pain and sciatica, but the patient’s symptoms are characteristic of common AIDP-GB sequelae and this must be considered for proper management and treatment of presenting symptoms. Abstract #31 Project Title: The Effects of Positive Reinforcement with an Emphasis on Positive Psychology on Improving Gait Speed and Mobility in a School-age Child with Closed-lip Schizencephaly Presenter(s): Sage Rebottaro, Graduate student; Megan Saigh, Graduate student; Taylor Tekiele, Graduate student; Haley Wren, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Chad Tiernan, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Schizencephaly is a rare congenital disorder of neuronal migration that can cause epilepsy, and neurocognitive and motor impairments. Children with disabilities often have limitations that impact motor skill acquisition and mobility, and a large factor that plays a role in gaining these skills is perceived competence or self-efficacy. Several positive reinforcement strategies have been shown to be beneficial in children with other disabilities, but research is lacking for children with schizencephaly. The purpose of this case report is to examine the effects of positive reinforcement, with an emphasis on positive psychology, on mobility and acquisition of motor skills, assessed using the 10 meter walk test (10MWT) and five time sit to stand (5xSTS), in a child with closed lip schizencephaly.

Case Description: An 11-year old female with closed lip schizencephaly, diagnosed at birth. Examination revealed deficits in ROM, reduced gait speed, and decrease 5xSTS. The patient was easily distracted during gait, and had a fear of falling during 5xSTS, and the functional tasks of stepping up onto a raised surface and over hurdles. Based on findings the patient has an apparent lack of self confidence and motivation that is limiting her activity and participation. Outcomes: Improvements were observed with the 10MWT (0.041m/s decrease; MCID= 0.05/s), and 5xSTS (0.39 sec decrease; MDC= 0.06 sec). Additionally, the patient decreased the amount of assistance she needed when performing step ups and stepping over hurdles. Discussion: The use of positive reinforcement, with an emphasis on positive psychology, appeared to have improved the patient’s self confidence and motivation during gait, 5xSTS and during functional tasks. Future randomized-control trial studies are needed including larger sample sizes, over longer periods of time, in order to establish the true effectiveness of positive reinforcement as a part of therapy for children with schizencephaly. Abstract #32 Project Title: Photoluminescence studies of semiconductor nanostructures Presenter(s): Lyall Alwafi, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Biplob Barman, Physics Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy uses monochromatic light to spectrally analyze semiconductor nanostructures. In this work, we discuss the instrumentation of a PL system to study samples at temperatures ranging from 10K to 300K. As means to verify the accuracy of this system, in combination with a laser beam, we use two different semiconductor samples: GaAs and ZnTe and analyze their spectral characteristics at varying temperatures. The results are then compared to theoretical interpretations published in peer reviewed journals. Abstract #33 Project Title: Head and Trunk Postural Control Interventions for a 32-month-old Child with GNAO1 Mutation: A Case Report Presenter(s): Katie Kitchen, Graduate student; Gina Micketti, Graduate student; Morgan Green,

Graduate student; Hannah Nettleton, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Cathy Larson, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Introduction: GNAO1 mutations are rare and highly variable genetic conditions. There is little research about the clinical manifestation and effectiveness of physical therapy intervention for these conditions. This case report describes physical therapy interventions used for a child diagnosed with GNAO1 mutation. Case Presentation: The patient is a 32 month-old Caucasian female with a diagnosis of GNAO1 mutation, Epileptic Encephalopathy, and NEDIM. Her past medical history was significant for left congenital hip dislocation. Currently, the patient presents with a hypotonic trunk and hypertonic extremities. Management and Outcomes: PT interventions addressed developmentally appropriate skills such as hands to midline, rolling, transfers and independent sitting once a week for 45-60 minutes. After two years of PT, her tone has not changed. The child’s head and trunk strength improved, however she is still developmentally delayed. She has not progressed to the next age group nor achieved more skills within her classified age group on standardized assessments. Discussion: Utilizing PT interventions showed some improvement in gross motor skills for this individual. Prognosis for children with the GNAO1 mutation should reflect that developmental delays will likely be present. Interventions to further progress age-appropriate developmental skills are undetermined, and further research is required. Abstract #34 Project Title: The Benefits of Hypnosis on Addiction Presenter(s): Shay Liogghio, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Humanities and Social Science Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: One of the biggest problems in the United States is the growing opioid epidemic, almost everyone knows at least one person who struggles with an opioid addiction and they don’t know what to do or how to help. One solution that is easily overlooked by most people is hypnosis therapy to help conquer addiction. As someone detoxes from the drug, hypnosis can help get rid of the guilty feelings and to concentrate on controlling the

cravings that overcome them. The results are promising over repeated therapy sessions and if it was available to the addicts who wanted to get clean, it could make a big difference on treatment for opioid addiction. Abstract #35 Project Title: Application of Set-Based Concurrent Engineering in FIRST Robotics Presenter(s): Rasik Borkar, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lawrence Navarre, School of Management Institution: Kettering University Abstract: Set-Based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) is one of the principles in the Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD) process used in substantial improvement in innovation development processes. Though SBCE principles are very popular in the lean development process the published knowledge of it is very limited. New knowledge added in this paper by explaining the implementation of Set-Based Concurrent Engineering in First Robotics. Development of new knowledge took a case study approach, to carry out systematic research to check whether the principles of SBCE can improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the innovation development process. The Set-Based Concurrent Engineering development process stepwise converges to optimize solution acceptable to all stakeholders through integration events. Literature suggests that the implementation of set based is determined by the availability of existing knowledge. This research paper concludes that the Set-Based approach effects positively in development performance and innovation and may be applied to improve the performance of FIRST robotics systems. It overcomes the inefficiency of point-based design by focusing on extensive prototyping to assure design success and avoid late changes and rework in development. Abstract #36 Project Title: Trashing Fish Presenter(s): Emily Borst, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jjenna Hupp-Andrews, Art and Design Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: For my presentation, I'll be talking about the issues of pollution regarding plastics and trash in our landfills, our parkways, and our oceans. I'll also be mentioning the devastating results of what our

pollution has done to our environment and the animals inhabiting the environment. Abstract #37 Project Title: Voices in the Night Presenter(s): Melissa Ruboyianes, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jjenna Hupp-Andrews, Art and Design Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Voices in the Night is the title of an interactive sculpture that was inspired by the Take Back the Night movement. The piece was created for the October 2018 Take Back the Night event co-sponsored by Mott Community College, University of Michigan-Flint, and the Flint YWCA. The goal of this interactive sculpture was to “help unite our community through interaction.” My presentation will contextualize art as social activism, focusing on this project as a successful example of artists and communities coming together to combat a social justice issue such as sexual violence. I will present a short history of socially engaged art and present examples of artist-activists using art to engage with social issues, providing a contextual foundation for this project. Then, detail the creative process I and my fellow artists went through to create the interactive artwork, the results of this powerful project, and where artist-activists can go in the future. This research project is an example of how artists, and the creativity they bring to the problems, serve an important role in in addressing social justice issues in our increasingly troubled world. Abstract #38 Project Title: Feeding & Eating Disorders Presenter(s): Mikala Torrey, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lauren Ruffin, Social Sciences Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: I will do a presentation on Feeding & Eating Disorders through a visual aid. I will have sketches and drawings of what Feeding & Eating Disorders do to an individual, while also showing how those with such a disorder view themselves vs how the public tends to. Abstract #40 Project Title: Brown Dolls Matter Presenter(s): Venus Nash, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): jjenna Andrews, Art and design

Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Why is there such a small number of African American Doll Makers and Fiber Artists? My current research focuses on the disconnect between African Americans and their culture, African traditional art, oral stories, and recorded history; I maintain that this disconnect has affected our personal views of ourselves as an African American Community. For this poster presentation, I will detail my research that illustrates how this disconnect may be the contributing factor in the lack in interest in and support of African American doll and fiber art, which contributes to the decreasing number of doll/fiber artists who keep the African and African-American fiber traditions alive. Abstract #41 Project Title: Efficient Exploration of Query Results Presenter(s): Zhenyan Liu, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Murali Mani, Computer Science Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: In data science, an analyst executes queries against a large set of data integrated from a wide variety of sources. When the analyst gets results for the query, he/she often wonders why a particular item is in the result. Bugs in the query, or errors during data collection can lead to inaccurate results. In this project, we investigate how to effectively support an analyst in exploring results of a query. Previous research has studied how additional data can be stored during original query execution, thus slowing down original query, but potentially speeding up follow-up explorations. We investigate two ideas for effective result exploration: (a) utilizing constraints to optimize the result exploration queries, and (b) identifying materialization of additional data during the original query execution. Our experimental studies on TPC-H benchmark data show significant benefits from our approaches. Utilizing constraints, the result exploration time decreased from 170ms to 0.06ms (Q10), and from 2000ms to 4ms (Q15). For Q09, materializing keys for several tables increased the original query execution time by a factor of 6, while decreasing the result exploration time by a factor of 1000. We are currently working on exploring the space of possible additional data that can be materialized. Abstract #42

Project Title: Gender Dysphoria: A Visual Presenter(s): Stefan Hand, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lauren Ruffin, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: I will be presenting a visual representation of the DSM-5 disorder Gender Dysphoria. Abstract #43 Project Title: A Survey of Numbers with Definite Purposes Larger than 10^10^100 Appearing in Abstract Mathematics Presenter(s): Christian Tomlins, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Maureen Thum, Honors; Ken Schilling, Mathematics Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: In the world of abstract mathematics, attempts to provide upper bounds to open problems often yield numbers that far surpass those that we use in day to day life. Sometimes, such attempts spit out numbers that greatly exceed the limits of human comprehension, and it’s obvious that “humans have great difficulty [visualizing] large numbers” (Dvorsky). These numbers continue to (and likely forever will) remain outside the realm of human comprehension, and have struck wonder into the minds of both mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike. While these numbers are truly marvelous in size and scope, any large number would be pointless if it did not have context. In particular, these numbers arose from proofs and papers that were written on topics in the realm of abstract mathematics, and have actual applications. Whether or not these numbers will ever have any applications outside the world of mathematics is unclear, yet their sheer enormity is enough cause to simply admire the methods through which they were acquired, with or without tangible applications. This paper will explore and seek to understand some of these numbers, and examine the history and motivations from which they were conjured. Abstract #44 Project Title: The effects of proprioceptive training with free weights in a mirror on overall motor control and glenohumeral stability in a patient with hypermobility and left shoulder subluxation Presenter(s): Courtney Bianchini, Graduate student; Brittani Bennett, Graduate student; Jihye Moon, Graduate student; Lauren Cook, Graduate student

Faculty Sponsor(s): Laura Smith, Physical Therapy; Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Background and Purpose: Incidence of shoulder subluxation is increasing and glenohumeral instability is most frequent in adolescent males. Instability characteristically presents with muscle imbalance, reduced proprioceptive acuity, chronic pain, poor neuromuscular control, and subluxations during activities. Neuromuscular exercises have great potential in reducing joint pain, improving functional capacities and stability, and increasing sensorimotor control. The purpose of this study is to describe how implementing proprioceptive training paired with resistance training impact the range of motion, strength and pain level in the shoulder joint. Case Description: A 17-year-old male with left shoulder pain, subluxation and hypermobility. Examination revealed pain, scapular winging, decreased shoulder range of motion, decreased strength, decreased muscle length flexibility, limited joint proprioception in left shoulder. Limitations were identified in most activities involving the upper extremities. The interventions focused on motor control intervention exercises and resistance training which were implemented for 8 visits. Outcomes: Significant improvements were observed in functional mobility measured with the QuickDASH, Patient Specific Functional Scale, strength, AROM measured with goniometric ROM, and pain measured with the Visual Analogue Scale. Discussion: Neuromuscular re-education training paired with resistance training improved functional mobility status of a teenage male with hypermobility and subluxation of the left shoulder. Abstract #45 Project Title: Does Neighborhood Walkability Influence Falls in Urban Dwelling Older Adults? Presenter(s): Hannah Karczewski, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jennifer Blackwood, Physical Therapy Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Introduction: This study inspected neighborhood walkability by investigating older adults’ perceptions of neighborhood crime and environmental barriers, use of assistive device and physical activity. This study has also collected factors that may predict falls incidence based on

neighborhood walkability perception in urban dwelling older adults. Methods: A survey was performed with older adults, age 65+, without cognitive dysfunction or chronic disease, in Flint, Michigan. Results: The older adults perceived their neighborhood was not safe enough for a 10 year old boy to walk alone during the day in the neighborhood. The older adults reported a lack of community places within walking distance and a lack of ease of walking to a transit stop from home. Those who had fallen reported a significantly greater difficulty performing daily activities of life than non-fallers. The results of this study could define the needs that can be addressed by physical therapists, other health professionals and community re-design efforts. Conclusion: Urban dwelling older adults’ perceptions on neighborhood walkability significantly affects their fall incidence. Abstract #46 Project Title: An exploration of art appreciation and its effect on empathy. Presenter(s): Jack Kelley, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology; Brian Littleton, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Empathy is the recognition, understanding, and appreciation of another's suffering. Additionally, it is an appreciation for another's suffering from their own perspective (Karp, 2015). An important step in the humanistic model is being able to emphasize with the patient. The BATHE technique, developed by Lieberman and Stuart (1999), seeks to enhance the comfort level of healthcare provider and allow them to offer more opportunities for the patient to open up emotionally (Karp, 2015). Art is a way to connect with the unconscious mind. Art appreciation trains the user to look past their own initial interpretation and understand the message the artist is trying to convey. Because of this, an understanding of art appreciation can help the healthcare provider to better recognize, understand, and empathize with a patient’s suffering. In effect, art appreciation may help to side-load empathy. By applying the similar techniques of art appreciation to the BATHE technique, the healthcare provider can gain a better understanding of the meaning of the

patient’s words. The presentation will provide an overview of the integration of art appreciation and the BATH technique by exploring several works of art. Implications and future recommendations are also discussed. Abstract #47 Project Title: Extraverts Just Wanna Have Fun: A Correlational Study Between G.P.A. and Extraversion Presenter(s): Sydney Pellom, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Brian Littleton Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Are extraverts having too much fun? The personality trait, extraversion, is displayed in people who are typically seen being the “life of the party”. They tend to be highly optimistic, sociable, and overall enthusiastic about life (Mahyuddin et al., 2009). However, do people with this personality trait have trouble in school, specifically, is it associated to a lower grade point average? G.P.A., within this study, is related to how well a student overall academically performs. This current study investigates the relationship between these two variables, G.P.A. and extraversion. From a sample of Mott Community College students, a non-significant, negative relationship between the two variables was found between G.P.A. and extraversion, r (86) = -.08, p = .450. Conclusions and future research suggestions will be presented. Abstract #48 Project Title: A Visual Representation of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Presenter(s): Shay Liogghio, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lauren Ruffin, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: I will present a representation via drawing of what it feels like to have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, specifically focusing on the experience of undergoing treatment using medication. Abstract #49 Project Title: Analyzing Rorschach: A Case Study of Paranoid Personality Disorder Presenter(s): Cody Bryant, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: This case study diagnoses the character of Rorschach from the movie, Watchmen, with

Paranoid Personality Disorder. Paranoid Personality Disorder includes symptoms of suspecting others of disloyalty or malice without basis, lacking trust in others, and persistently bearing grudges (Vyas & Khan, 2016). Evidence of the symptoms in Rorschach and recommended treatments for the character will be presented. Abstract #50 Project Title: How Arts can Help Incarcerated Individuals Presenter(s): Jermariana Chandler, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Beth Freiman, Dance; Emma Davis, Dance Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: I will be presenting how arts can serve as deeper meaning than just 'fun'. As arts are often forgotten about or unspoken of, the value of it is held at a lower rate than it should be. I will be explaining how arts can help everyone, even incarcerated individuals. After taking on an internship at an Incarcerated area here in Flint, I have seen upfront how arts can move people, and work for people mentally, spiritually, and physically. Abstract #51 Project Title: “Tell me your mind”: Olivia’s Unconventionality in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night Presenter(s): Jennifer Lynn, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Mary Jo Kietzman, English Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Olivia, from Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, despite being often portrayed as a fool or cold hearted, is a strong and intelligent woman making her unusual for her time period. Though many may argue that she is stereotypical in the way her emotions appear to control her, it can be argued that all of her emotional episodes may have been part of an elaborate ruse she created to maintain her independence and power after the loss of her older brother. Her intelligence is revealed through how she protects herself by intentionally having rumors spread about her to ensure potential suitors, who would rob her of her power, disinterested. In addition, her romantic side is depicted through how easily she falls for Cesario but she remains logical, controlling their relationship to her advantage. Finally, instead of allowing this feeling to consume her, as would be traditionally expected of women, she uses her power and intellect to win the favor of

the man she desires. Olivia is the most brilliant and cunning character within Shakespeare’s play making her an extraordinary character to examine, not one to be pushed aside and treated stereotypically.

Abstract #56 Project Title: Funny or Not? The Influence of Interhemispheric Interaction on Perceptions of Teasing Presenter(s): Savannah Steward, Undergraduate student; Briana Whitt, Undergraduate student; Mackenzie Salgat, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jeannette Stein, Psychology

Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine how interhemispheric interaction (IHI) relates to amusement of ridicule. IHI is the degree to which the hemispheres of the brain communicate. Greater IHI is associated with cognitive flexibility and those with increased IHI are better able to hold simultaneous, contradictory beliefs. This may better allow one to find the incongruity in 'teasing' someone to be humorous. We hypothesized that those with greater IHI would be more likely to find ridicule amusing. We will recruit a convenience sample of participants via social media and randomly assign them to one of two groups. The control group will watch actors telling one-liners/puns. The experimental group will watch the same actors using ridicule to tease and joke with one another (playground insults). Participants will rate their level of amusement on a scale of 1 to 5 (1- very unamused, 5- highly amused) All participants will complete the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI) to determine level of IHI . Data will be analyzed and reported accordingly Abstract #57 Project Title: GPA and Conscientiousness Presenter(s): Katlyn Strong, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: This project examines the relationship between conscientiousness and GPA and predicts that the higher one's conscientiousness score, the higher their GPA. Conscientiousness is one of the big five personality traits that assesses self-discipline. Conscientious individuals tend to rely on plans, rather than spontaneous behavior. If individuals who are high in conscientiousness are more hardworking, organized and self-motivated than it is predicted these characteristics will reflect positively on GPA and academic success. This study analyzed data from a convenient sample of community college students from a psychology course after they were assessed on conscientiousness and GPA. Results and conclusions from this correlational study will be presented. Abstract #58 Project Title: Recycling and the Circular Economy Presenter(s): Andreea Huzum, Undergraduate student; Anghelina Potinga, Undergraduate student; Alexandra Negrea, Undergraduate student; Ciulei Oana, Undergraduate student; Gabriela Ioana,

Undergraduate student; Ebru Sadic, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Dave Nelson, School of Management; Iuliu Ivanescu, Foreign Languages Institution: University of Michigan-Flint/Romania American University Abstract: Our planet is in a crisis and we can all help to make it better by practicing the Three Rs’ Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in our daily routines. To begin, we could reduce our use of non-recyclable products and purchase products with components that can be recycled, or re-purposed when we are done using them. It is also a good idea to include Reuse’ where product containers and even product components can be reused (re-purposed). This can be beneficial for business because it will help create new jobs in many fields like engineering, chemistry, marketing and agriculture to name a few. The primary theme of the ˜Three Rs’ is included in Circular Economy where the goal is to extend product life cycles with better design and treat waste as a potential resource. When this occurs, the natural environment will improve, making it a better place for us all to live. Abstract #59 Project Title: Appearance Change Instruction- Featural or Holistic? Presenter(s): Mack Blouir, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Peter Molinaro, Psychology Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The commonly recommended appearance change instruction (ACI) has been found across many studies to lead to diminished eyewitness accuracy in lineup tasks. One potential reason for this change is that the wording of the instruction emphasizes changes in suspect features. Feature-based recognition is known to be less effective compared to holistic facial recognition. The current project tested if the overarching cause of the ACI’s detrimental effects the facilitation of feature-driven recognition. To test this hypothesis, we presented mock witnesses with normal and inverted simultaneous lineups and exposed some participants to the ACI. We predicted that the ACI would only diminish lineup performance for upright photo lineups and not inverted photo lineups implying that the ACI may drive witnesses to use a feature-based recognition in identifications.

Abstract #60 Project Title: Academic Self-Concept and Student Engagement Presenter(s): Noelia Perez, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Brian Littleton, Psychology; Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Academic self-concept is defined as “a more salient value and attribute by which a college student may judge himself or herself” (Reynolds, 1988). Student engagement is defined as “behaviors, like raising hands or asking questions” (Reynolds, 1988). The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between students’ academic self-concept and engagement in a course. It is hypothesized that students who have high academic self-concept are less engaged in a course. A diverse sample of students from a midwest community college was administered a battery of surveys to assess their academic self-concept and student engagement. Results of the study highlighted a relationship between the two variables. Implications and recommendations are discussed. Abstract #61 Project Title: Corporate Social Responsibility and Circular Economy Presenter(s): Eion Lange, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Dave Nelson, School of Management Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The presentation is going to cover Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Circular Economy (CE). CSR is an extra effort that a firm puts in, that goes beyond general regulations for a positive effect on stakeholder groups. CE is an economic system that is contrary to the current system of a Linear Economy. A Linear Economy pulls raw materials from the environment, that then go through the economic system and leave as waste, re-entering the environment, CE tries to reduce the amount of direct input and output from the economy. Both CSR and CE are based in the triple bottom-line, which consists of the environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The environmental dimension is how the environment is affected by certain behaviors. The economic dimension is represented by the potential profit or loss of certain activities. The social dimension is represented by the response of different stakeholders and people to activities, the social dimension is difficult to

represent in CE, but is much clearer in CSR. The presentation aims to take these concepts, along with some others, to try and draw conclusions on the positive effects of adopting CE in an economy and CSR at the firm level. Abstract #62 Project Title: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Presenter(s): Matt Carpenter, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Lauren Ruffin, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: I will be presenting a visual representation of the DSM-5 disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Abstract #63 Project Title: A Literature Review of Personality and Behavioral Development Following Sexual Assault Presenter(s): Jacqueline Leader, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: Sexual assault is a real problem among women and men of all ages. This type of violence is catastrophic for emotional and mental health (Akhterb & Wohaba, 2010). The consequences of this type of abuse have long term effects especially on personality and behavioral development (Winfield, George, Swartz & Blazer, 1990). It is more common for researchers to study the offender to provide possible avoidance strategies; however these survivors deserve equal notice. In this literature review, I aimed to gain insight on what tends to happen psychologically to survivors following sexual abuse. Once known what difficulties survivors typically experience, as educated peers we can then act to help provide resources for those in need, including recognizing those at particular risk for psychological impairment following sexual abuse.For example, those with lower psychological functioning before the attack are more likely to experience long-term psychological damage and are in particular need of help and support (Winfield, George, Swartz & Blazer, 1990). Abstract #64 Project Title: Isolation of High Quality Genomic DNA From Unique Bacteria Presenter(s): Joseph Kako, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jerry Sanders, Biology

Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Isolation of DNA from bacteria for genetic analysis has had a significant history dating from the middle of the twentieth century or slightly before. As advancements in understanding of the genome have developed, we have progressed from investigating the structural genetic element of cells to correlating gene expression to the physiological function to whole genome sequencing. That available information derived from such studies has permitted a broader range of scientific inquiry. Techniques for genetic isolation have changed at an equivalent rate. Over time, techniques have been refined to improve quality and quantity of DNA isolated, however, the general process consists of lysis of cells in a way that DNA stability is preserved and differential solubilities to separate DNA from other cellular components in the lysate. Many of the advancements have focused on the more common microorganisms used in the research laboratory, and often, protocols that have been established for one group of microorganisms are not universally applicable to others due to unique differences in cell structure and function. This research evaluates four recognized techniques for genetic extraction of DNA from bacteria and evaluates their effectiveness of isolation of genomic DNA from a non-typical bacterium. Abstract #65 Project Title: Intelligent MAF Detection System Presenter(s): Manoj Vemuri, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Jungme Park, Electrical & Computer Engineering Institution: Kettering University Abstract: Mass Air flow determination is needed for the better performance and emissions control of internal combustion engines. Current methods for MAF are based on the measurement from specific sensor i.e., mass air flow (MAF) sensor. But the MAF sensor drifts timely and gives inaccurate results. This Poster presents an overview of the Intelligent Mass Air Flow detection system using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Abstract #66 Project Title: The Whaley House as a Centerpiece of Community: Recasting House Museums in the 21st Century Presenter(s): Daniel Plamondon, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Thomas Henthorn, History

Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: The lack of public interest in historic house museums is an alarming trend throughout America. Although many communities have their own historic house, they are beset by lack of funds and adequate volunteers. The Whaley House in Flint, MI is no different. Situated just off the wrong side of the expressway, the Whaley has suffered through volunteer turnover, a lack of visitors, and a fire that shut down the whole house for a year and a half. Changing populations in the neighborhoods around the Whaley means that the home is no longer seen as a symbol of Flint’s progress and growth, but as a symbol of white privilege and oppression. Changing this image requires new, diverse leadership at the board level, and a pivoting of the Whaley’s focus from recalling the life of the wealthy family who once lived there, to the experiences and interests of those who inhabit the neighborhood surrounding it. With the implementation of programs that are not focused only on the home itself, but on people and events that inform context for the Whaley throughout many generations, the Whaley House can restore its volunteers and funding sources and become a source of local pride once again Abstract #67 Project Title: Race as a Social Determinant of Health for African American Men Presenter(s): Samantha Cardenas, Graduate student; Chandramukhi Thakkar, Graduate student; Bubba Wheeler, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Linwood Hayman, Public Health and Health Sciences Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: A review of the literature revealed that the social determinant of race contributed to poor health outcomes for African American men in the United States. Systemic racism has limited the access to mental and physical health care, resulting in higher rates of diagnoses of diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Furthermore, the fear of being labeled “crazy,” has hindered African American men from seeking therapeutic services; as a result they do not receive the help that could decrease symptoms that lead to poorer health outcomes. A four-minute audio recorded Spoken Word piece was created in an attempt to acknowledge the struggle African American men face and to destigmatize the need for help through therapy and admitting pain. The goal of the Spoken Word piece is to encourage discussion

that could lead to solutions that break the system and rebuild healthier outcomes. Abstract #68 Project Title: Working With the Dark Side Presenter(s): Alesiah Pickard-Banno, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Brian Littleton, Psychology; Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: The Dark Triad consists of three personality traits including: narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellianism. Cases where one individual has high scores appearing for every trait are deemed significant as this points to malevolent qualities. In the most severe cases, individuals who score highly on the aforementioned traits live dysfunctional lives often spent in jail. However, more mild cases of the Dark Triad are often very successful within their pursuits (Little, 2015). In consideration of the fact that the Dark Triad often has appearances in our everyday life, we have decided to explore the topic in regards to the workplace. The following is a literature review of Emrah Özsoy’s study Dark Triad and Counterproductive Work Behaviors: Which of the Dark Triad Traits is More Malevolent?.The study within the article consisted of 244 participants, self-reporting their dark triad traits and counterproductive work behaviors (2018). The CWBs selected to assess: withdrawal from work, theft of work property, and abuse of work status. This project aims to display the consequences of The Dark Triad within our working lives through reviewing the work of Özsoy. Abstract #69 Project Title: MI Start Gate Presenter(s): Charis Clark, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Sara McDonnell, Office of University Outreach Paula Nas University Outreach Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: MI Start Gate is an online project of UM-Flint’s EDA University Center. The mission of UM-Flint’s EDA University Center is to coordinate, inform, and contribute to economic development efforts that cultivate innovation and advance high-growth entrepreneurship needed to build and sustain a diversified economy throughout Michigan’s 7-county I-69 Thumb Region.

Abstract #70 Project Title: Black Holes Get a Reality Check I: Modeling the Dynamic Appetites of Quasars Presenter(s): Alex Bakhsh, Undergraduate student; Cordell Harris, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Rajib Ganguly, Physics Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Quasars are powered by the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies. As the accreting matter orbits in the disk, the orbit decays and sends the matter closer to the black hole. This in fall results in a superheated gas that glows intensely, producing light across the electromagnetic spectrum. Observed spectra also show gas outflowing from the system, silhouetted against this luminous disk, providing insight into the structure of the system. By constructing semi-analytic computational models, we hope to recreate these dynamic environments and compare the simulated spectra to observed spectra to examine the geometry and physical conditions of the silhouetted gas. We present challenges in modeling the geometric and physical aspects of the accretion disk, as well as incorporating the outflowing gas into these simulations. We also present future undertakings in simulating the systems X-ray corona and astrophysical jet. Abstract #71 Project Title: Black Holes Get a Reality Check II: The View from Hubble's Ultraviolet Eyes Presenter(s): Lacie Gladding, Undergraduate student; Hayden Ruff, Undergraduate student

Faculty Sponsor(s): Rajib Ganguly, Physics Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Quasars are powered by the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies. As the accreting matter orbits in the disk, the orbit decays and sends the matter closer to the black hole. This infall results in a superheated gas that glows intensely, producing light across the electromagnetic spectrum. Observed spectra also show gas outflowing from the system, silhouetted against this luminous disk, providing insight into the structure of the system. As a parallel study to our modelling efforts, we are examining the detailed ultraviolet spectra of 14 objects from the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. In four of these objects, we observe the outflowing gas in absorption from both neutral hydrogen (H\,{\sc i}) as well as four-times ionized nitrogen (N\,{\sc v}). Here, we aim to infer the range of ionization conditions in which these two species can co-exist. From this, we are interested in inferring potential locations and the geometric structure of the gas. In turn, this will inform our modelling efforts with regard to the incorporation of the outflowing gas as well as potential needs for additional sources of ionization, such as an X-ray corona. Abstract #72 Project Title: Experimental Learning Integration of CFD and EFD Presenter(s): Andrew Ravi Kamalraj, Undergraduate student; Venkat Nallamothu, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Quamrul Mazumder, Mechanical Engineering Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Due to complexities associated with the topic, students may not be able to develop in depth understanding through AFD. By integrating computational and experimental approaches, the learning effectiveness and motivation of topics are improved. Abstract #74 Project Title: Environmental Corporate Responsibility Presenter(s): Bailey Duvall, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Dave Nelson, Business Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: This presentation will be about how corporate responsibility plays a role in protecting the environment and what role private organizations

need to take in our protect and preservation of the environment. Specifically, looking at the Seattle plastic straw ban and how it has affected business and the public thought on the ban. The steps towards stopping reliance on plastics are already in motion, but this is to discuss on how we place the responsibility on business owners and the public. Taking a small amount of time to talk about how we preserve our earth is important, and we need to get more people aware of the small things that effect a large amount of our earth, like using plastic straws instead of paper. Abstract #75 Project Title: Scheduled Education: The effects of Diabetes Self-Management Education on Diabetic Outcomes Presenter(s): Amira Aljamal, Graduate student; Tifenie Harris, Graduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Christina Aplin-Kalisz, Nursing; Beverly Dabney, Nursing Institution: University of Michigan-Flint Abstract: Diabetes has negative implications on many individuals; with the use of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) improvements in clinical outcomes are demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing the American Diabetes Association(ADA) DSME Algorithm of care in educating patients based on the lifestyle outcomes and glycemic control in type 2 diabetics after an eight-week intervention period. The study was conducted in an outpatient setting where patients were selected by convenience sampling as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fasting blood sugars, A1c levels as well as the use of the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire were collected both pre and post intervention. A total of 44 patients met criteria to be referred for diabetes education, while 24 patients were actually referred and received education. Pre and post intervention scores were obtained in the areas of fasting blood glucose levels (mean scores of 205.6 vs 177), A1c levels (mean scores 8.91 vs 8.49) and DSMQ (mean scores of 13.2 vs 20.8). Numerous studies support the correlation between the utilization of DSME and improved outcomes for patients. Based on the results of this study patients had improved scores in all areas measured.

Abstract #76 Project Title: Correlating GPA and Aggression Presenter(s): Elizabeth Lindahl, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: This study looked over the possibility of there being a correlation between GPA and aggressiveness. GPA is defined as the grade point average which measures how successful students are in the classroom. Aggressiveness is defined as those who dominant, assertive, and manipulative. The prediction was that GPA had a negative correlation with aggressiveness. The sample of 90 students took the Horney-Coolidge Tridimensional Inventory (HCTI), which gave a measure of interpersonal aggressiveness on a scale from 19 to 76. Participants also took a demographic questionnaire to asses current cumulative GPA. Ninety students reported an average GPA of 3.40 (SD=.51). Those same students reported an average HCTI aggressiveness score of 42.30 (SD=9.68). No correlation was found between GPA and aggressiveness. t(88)= -.18 p=.091. GPA does not have a role in one’s aggressiveness score on the HCTI. Suggestions for future studies on this topic will be shared. Abstract #77 Project Title: Are Age and Self-Actualization Related?: A Correlational Study Presenter(s): Montana Polzin, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: The current study examined the relationship between self-actualization and age. Self-actualization is defined as reaching one’s full potential in their life. It was predicted that the higher the age, the higher the level of self-actualization. The sample size of 168 students in an advanced psychology course from Mott Community College completed a self-assessment to measure their self-actualization. The average for age was 24.45 (SD = 9.14). The average for self-actualization was 42.82 (SD = 8.82). No relationship was found between age and self-actualization, r (166) = .12, p = .113. Age may not play a role in self-actualization because of the different experiences people go through no matter the age. For future research, it is suggested to use a larger sample to include an equal

number of older participants and younger participants. Abstract #78 Project Title: Neuroticism and its Relationship with Social Interest Presenter(s): Raven Hupp-Andrews, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College Abstract: The current study examined a possible correlation between social interest and neuroticism. Social interest is defined as the level of interest an individual exemplifies in others. Neuroticism is defined as the level of emotional instability an individual exemplifies. It was predicted that higher neuroticism score would possibly correlate with a lower Social interest score. The sample of 173 students from a midwestern community college

taking an advanced psychology course completed the Ten Item Personality Inventory and James E. Crandall’s Social Interest Scale, which assessed neuroticism and social interest respectively. The average for neuroticism was 3.46 (SD = 1.52). The average for social interest was 9.47 (SD =3.57). No relationship was found between neuroticism and social interest, r (171) = -.11, p =.137. Future studies should include a larger, more random sampling to reduce any possible is in sampling. Abstract #79 Project Title: HelpRx/Vigoratech: Technology Conscience Presenter(s): Jonathan McKay, Undergraduate student; Madisson Gordon, Undergraduate student Faculty Sponsor(s): Phillip Nulph, Psychology; Brian Littleton, Psychology Institution: Mott Community College

Abstract: The opiate addiction crisis in America is at an all-time high. Stated by Poon (2017), “there’s more to the opioid epidemic than death statistics.” More creative solutions to combat the issue are needed, Help Rx/Vigoratech is one. Designed to combat the growing problem of opiate addiction in the Greater Flint and surrounding areas. Doctors are asked to prescribe the program to their patients/clients primarily age range 18 to 30. It will be offered online with an interactive website, as well as a mobile app for both Apple and Android platforms. The program will provide a baseline assessment of the mental being and state of users of

the opiate and other addictive drugs. Daily questions will be presented to the patient/client through a push notification. These questions will monitor patterns of possible addiction behavior that will housed a central database. The project aims to provide 1) practitioners with real-time data to monitor patients/clients to prevent addiction and 2) patients/clients an effective media to address behavior concerns. Rx/Vigoratech aims to reduce opioid addiction in Genesee County to less than 15% of residents by 2025. This goal will be achieved by continuous improvements made by feedback and collected data through usage in time.
