Promoting Environmental Awareness; Out-of-Context Stimuli Receptive ID This behavior intervention program aimed to improve environmental attending skills in an eight-year-old male diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through Discrete Trial Training (DTT). The program targeted the identification of out-of-context stimuli within visual scenes to support the client’s engagement with-and-responding to his immediate environment. Using structured teaching methods, the client was presented with visual stimuli containing multiple distractors and prompted to identify the item that did not belong. Mastery was defined as 90% independent responding across three consecutive sessions with multiple clinicians. Over the course of implementation, the client demonstrated significant progress, probing out of two targets on the first day and mastering/probing out of seven additional targets by December 2024. These improvements were accompanied by increased engagement in social interactions related to environmental awareness. Despite temporary disruptions due to illness and holiday closures, the program demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing the client’s attending skills, with potential for further generalization to naturalistic settings. However, as of January 2025, the client has demonstrated complete mastery of all 14-target scenes in this program.

Analyzing Recreational Use Through a Four-Month Observation Study” Recreational parks provide essential access to nature for both residents and visitors while also playing a crucial role in protecting natural ecosystems. However, previous research has suggested that as urbanization, technological advancements, and societal shifts continue to evolve, various social factors may influence park usage patterns. This study explores visitation trends over a four-month period through direct observations at two recreational parks in the Panama City area: Carl Gray Park and Asbell Park. Each month, four observational counts were conducted, with two at Carl Gray Park and two at Asbell Park. Utilization rates were then analyzed using a local model developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), known as extrapolation factors, to estimate total daily visits. Results showed that Asbell Park had a significantly higher overall visitation rate than Carl Gray Park, with an average of 153 daily visitors compared to 96 daily visitors. Additionally, Asbell Park had a greater average number of visitors per observation, with 19 people present at any given time, compared to 12 people at Carl Gray Park. Additional post-hoc analyses revealed that peak visitation at Asbell Park occurred at temperatures of 64°F, 67°F, and 79°F, whereas Carl Gray Park saw peak attendance at 65°F, 72°F, and 85°F. Across both parks, the most common activity observed was “Sitting, Standing, or Observing,” with Carl Gray Park recording 55 instances and Asbell Park recording 45 instances. These results could offer valuable insights into visitation trends, potentially helping to guide recreational management efforts and enhance community engagement.

"Bridging the Divide: A Comprehensive Approach to Enhancing Patient Experience and Quality of Care in the U.S. Healthcare System" The U.S. healthcare system faces critical challenges in aligning patient experience measures with effective implementation practices, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction among patients. This poster synthesizes findings from a comprehensive review of current literature alongside preliminary results from ongoing survey research examining patient experiences across various healthcare settings. While frameworks like the Patient Experience Surveys (PES) and HCAHPS aim to elevate care quality, their voluntary nature leads to inconsistent application and fragmented care experiences. By investigating these systemic shortcomings and contrasting the U.S. approach with successful models from other Western healthcare systems, we advocate for mandatory and standardized implementation protocols. Our presentation highlights the urgent need for policy reform that prioritizes patient-centered care, ensuring equitable access and improved outcomes for all populations. Ultimately, this work seeks to catalyze a national dialogue on actionable solutions that can transform the U.S. healthcare landscape into one that is more cohesive, responsive, and attuned to patient needs.

Some of my goals would be to graduate college as a civil engineer with a focus in construction. I was born and raised here in Panama City Beach Florida. Sleep and its Correlational Effect on High School Athletes' Performances Sleep is a crucial factor in athletic performance, yet many high school athletes do not get enough rest due to busy schedules, academic demands, and social obligations. This paper explores how sleep affects various aspects of athletic performance, including memory, focus, mood, motivation, injury risk, and recovery. Research has shown that sleep is essential for learning new motor skills, improving reaction time, and maintaining concentration during competition. Athletes who do not get enough sleep struggle with decision-making, slower reflexes, and decreased endurance, which can negatively impact their overall performance. Beyond cognitive effects, sleep deprivation increases the risk of injuries. Fatigue leads to poor coordination and slower muscle recovery, making athletes more susceptible to both acute and overuse injuries. Studies show that sleep also plays a key role in muscle repair and energy replenishment, making it an essential part of the recovery process. Furthermore, poor sleep quality has been linked to increased stress and anxiety, which can lower motivation and hinder performance. Despite the clear benefits of sleep, many high school athletes fail to meet the recommended 8–10 hours per night. This paper highlights the importance of prioritizing sleep for peak performance and injury prevention. By educating athletes, coaches, and parents on the effects of sleep, high school athletes can develop better habits that enhance both their performance and overall well-being. Encouraging consistent sleep routines, limiting screen time before bed, and managing schedules effectively can help young athletes maximize their potential on and off the field.

AP Classes and College Readiness Despite the importance and prevalence of the subject matter, there are a limited number of studies that have been conducted on a qualitative level to identify the level of influence that taking AP classes in high school have on college readiness. Generally, these studies focus on quantitative relationships influencing college readiness itself. However, this study seeks to reveal the unresearched perspective pertaining to the qualitative ideas of taking AP classes and their effectiveness in preparing students for college classes. Unlike previous studies, this inquiry includes participation of college students to analyze differences in the data observed. Correspondingly, a survey was given to over 20 college participants. The respondents answered questions concerning demographics as well as additional questions specifically asking about the skills learned through taking AP courses. Consequently, qualitative aspects such as problem solving, time management, and critical thinking abilities were analyzed through the survey questions. The raw data was then analyzed, and conclusions were formed based on each participant's responses to the myriad of questions. The experiment's outcomes offer a variety of applications, especially in relation to teenagers and professionals involved in the education field which can be extremely advantageous for providing a comprehensive understanding of this crucial process for adolescents. Upon conclusion, accurate data and results culminated in cogent insight into the influence of taking AP courses and if they prepare students for the rigors of college. Nonetheless, extensive research beyond this study needs to be conducted in order to increase lucidity and eliminate any potential limitations.

Technology and Its Affects on Teenagers (ages 13-17) Our research project explores the numerous ways technology impacts teenagers aged 13 to 17 through three key lenses: ethics, science, and future implications. The ethical lens examines whether it is appropriate for teenagers to use technology and social media, focusing on privacy, online behavior, and mental well-being. The scientific lens investigates the neurological and psychological effects of technology usage, including cognitive development and social interactions. The futuristic lens considers the long-term consequences of technological exposure on teenagers, such as career prospects, social dynamics, and mental health trends. All in all, these perspectives provide a comprehensive understanding of technology's growing influence on the next generation.

The melting point phase diagram of a cocrystal between Quercetin and L-proline. Cocrystal formation plays a crucial role in pharmaceutical science by enhancing bioavailability and solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients. This study investigates the melting points of cocrystals formed from L-proline and quercetin using ethanol and methanol as solvents. Cocrystals were synthesized by preparing solutions with varying molar ratios of L-proline and quercetin in alcohol. The resulting samples were analyzed using a melting point apparatus to determine thermal properties, while qualitative observations were recorded to assess structural changes. Melting point data served as an indicator of cocrystal formation; however, limited results were obtained due to the absence of distinct melting points in some cases. These findings highlight challenges in cocrystal formation and suggest further investigation into alternative methods for characterization

The Effects of Low-Cost Design and Marketing of Products on Overconsumption Rates. Overcompensation rates have been on a massive incline since the beginning of 2000 and the introduction of fast-paced consumerism. The continuous process of constantly replacing and reproducing products created to deteriorate overtime leaves a trail of excessive production, waste, environmental degradation, and escalating in the current climate crisis. Planned obsolescence is the deliberate scheme of manufacturing a product made to decay at an accelerated rate over time in order to encourage replacement. This low-cost marketing tactic is a key device in growing over consumption rates especially in America, leading to environmental damages.

Tolerating the Uncomfortable The client in the procedure is a ten-year-old boy who is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. He began services at the Early Childhood Autism Program in April of 2022. Throughout his clinical and home environments, it has been reported that the client displayed a deficit in his ability to tolerate non-preferred topics, such as bugs, blood, throw up etc. When encountering non-preferred topics throughout his environment, the client would engage in maladaptive behaviors including screaming, crying, and elopement. To remediate these deficits, the clinical team opted to implement a Communicating Novel Topics program. The procedure implemented denial and tolerance training to non-preferred topics, before fading in conversations regarding the non-preferred topics. Differential reinforcement and escape extinction from the nonpreferred topic were implemented to aid in the acquisition of the procedure. Research conducted by O’Rourke et al. (2019) demonstrated that the utilization of tolerance training increased the subject’s ability to tolerate a non-preferred stimulus event. Within the individual steps of the program, the client appropriately and independently rejected a conversation involving a non-preferred topic. Once the client was appropriately rejecting a conversation, the client was then required to engage in conversations with up to two exchanges involving the non-preferred conversation. This program was implemented within the month of February 2024 and was mastered in March 2024. Parental reports have shown that the procedure has generalized across environments including his school, the community with friends, and at his home.

A Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia student at FSU Panama City. Her current research investigates the impact of weight-based lidocaine dosing in propofol-based sedation for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedures, aiming to optimize sedation outcomes and reduce adverse events such as apnea and hemodynamic instability. With a strong commitment to improving patient safety and clinical practices, Brenda strives to bridge the gap between research and real-world application, contributing to the evolution of anesthesia care in procedural sedation.		 Lidocaine Dosage for EGD Sedation Propofol-based sedation for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) often requires careful anesthetic management to minimize adverse events. Lidocaine, an adjuvant to propofol, can reduce propofol requirements and improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a weight-based lidocaine dosing regimen (1.5 mg/kg) on apneic events compared to a fixed low dose (50 mg) in adult patients undergoing EGD. A pre- and post-intervention survey design was employed to assess clinical practice changes among anesthesia providers within a U.S. hospital in the eastern region. Post-intervention, adherence to the recommended lidocaine dosing increased significantly, leading to a reduction in propofol requirements and fewer adverse events like apnea and hemodynamic instability. Adherence to the recommended dosage of 1.5 mg/kg of lidocaine 2% increased notably, with the number of practitioners adhering to this guideline doubling from 10 to 20 out of 25 respondents. Additionally, 18 practitioners reported notable improvements, including reduced propofol requirements and a lower incidence of adverse events such as apnea and hemodynamic instability. These findings highlight the importance of targeted education and evidence-based dosing practices in improving patient safety and optimizing anesthesia care for EGD procedures, illustrating how a well-structured educational initiative can bridge the gap between evidence-based recommendations and real-world clinical practice.

My passion for the artistry of music was what inspired this topic for my research project. As an involved band kid, I have always been affected tremendously by classical music and live performances; I wondered if my peers felt the same, or if they were more emotionally connected to digitally made music. I am very excited to see the results! How Does the Use of Acoustic Vs. Digital Instruments in Recorded Music Affect Teens’ Emotional Response to Music? Music is all around us, whether it is digitally made with computer systems or produced acoustically from an instrument. Music is well-known for its therapeutic effects, such as producing a sense of "mental clarity", but will these emotional effects differ based on the instruments used? (McCraty et al. 1998). This is the nature that inspired my investigation on how the use of acoustic versus digital instruments in recorded music affect teens' emotional response to music. Using a true experimental methodology, I created a survey with various audios, which was given to high school students. I also created an observational checklist for each participant, which addressed the physical presentation of the participant's emotions during each audio. After obtaining 23 participant answers, the highest likert scale number response for each audio was then compared to the other audio that was the same piece, just different instruments. The qualitative results were then compared to the participant responses to ensure that the results seemed to correspond. It was shown that majority of the participants were generally more impacted by the acoustic instrumental audios than the digital instrumental audios, which was concluded from a more agreed response on the emotion that was being implemented by the music and the higher overall intensity of the acoustic instruments.

We both had interest in finding multi-modal pain management strategies for patients undergoing anesthesia with a focus on general anesthesia cases involving abdominal and gynecological cases. As someone who has lost colleagues to opiate addiction and unintentional overdose, it is a personal passion to help minimize the amount that anesthesia providers contribute to the initial stages of the opiate addiction process. Dexmedetomidine and Rescue Opiate Administration in the PACU It is well known that the opioid abuse epidemic is a major problem in public health worldwide, and more specifically, in the United States. In 2021, the CDC reported that approximately 75% of all drug overdose deaths in the United States were related to opioid use. It has also become widely accepted in the medical community that the use of dexmedetomidine in anesthesia may provide an opioid-sparing analgesic effect. Therefore, we undertook research into the potential opiate-sparing properties of dexmedetomidine for abdominal and gynecological general anesthesia cases, as well as other risks and benefits associated with its use. The research clearly showed that the use of dexmedetomidine not only could reduce the amount of opiates patients required in the postoperative period, but also showed a decreased in postoperative shivering, 24-hour pain scores, nausea, and vomiting. From this research, educational material was distributed to anesthesia professionals in an attempt to increase their willingness to use dexmedetomidine in their anesthesia practice. Providers then took part in a short, anonymous survey regarding their willingness to use dexmedetomidine in their practice in the future. R.
