Scholars' Showcase 2018

This presentation focuses specifically over nursing homes as a whole. Independently, research was collaborated to focus on nursing homes and other opportunities that are similar to nursing homes for elderly with a little more range of independence. Individually, there was research studied on views and reasoning’s on why some elderly enter nursing homes to begin with. Research went into detail on the family situations and family views as well as the abusive situations that occur throughout nursing homes. Together, we discussed possibilities on how to improve the nursing homes and to avoid some controllable situations. Also, the ways that staffing can be updated and properly trained to better fit the needs of the elderly who reside in their facilities.

I will be demonstrating the steps I took to creating my 3D printed RC car. I will show the RC car working and how I created it. The RC car is not completely 3D printed. A couple of the mechanisms of the RC car I could not figure out how to design. But the gearbox of the RC car is all 3D printed (other than the motor). I designed all the parts using Autodesk Fusion 360 and all the parts were printed on my Prusa i3 MK2.5 3D printer. The design is based off a RC car I took apart.

In this presentation we will discuss the defense of abortion by highlighting the arguments used by Judith Thomson.

Is this the real life? Or is it just fantasy? Two philosophical schools of thought offer rhetoric which juxtapose each other on the subject of reality- realism and idealism. Idealists believe everything is mind-dependent whereas realists believe there are minds but also things which are independent of the mind. This presentation will motivate the arguments for both idealism and realism thus analyzing the resulting perceptions of reality through the lens of philosophy.

Highly energetic molecules have been researched in science for many years to be used as fuels, explosives and fireworks. To create these molecules, the starting material needs to contain very weak bonds that can form very strong bonds when undergoing combustion. The molecules of interest have been selected due to their odd and highly strained bond angles and the fact that they have never been studied for their thermochemical properties. This study was done to determine if these molecules have high energy densities.

The Factitious disorder is a complex disorder whose historical path leads from malingering to hysteria, to Munchhausen Syndrome, and ultimately to its current characterization as Factitious Disorder. Many historical documents trace the different ways that this strange desire to become sick or to be perceived as sick is expressed in medical theory, in literature, and in culture. Particularly interesting are the lengths to which people will go to substantiate these ailments.Among the individuals involved in the definition of this disorder are British psychoanalysts, among whom Karin Stephen (1890-1953), Virginia Woolf’s sister-in-law, played a prominent role.
