What Happens on a Research Sabbatical in Nuclear Physics?
Dr. Frank leads a local research effort to understand atomic nuclei far from stability, concentrating on nuclides that emit neutrons due to their instability. A sabbatical during fall and winter terms (Aug. 22, 2016 – Feb. 20, 2017) was taken to strengthen this research program associated with the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU). The NSCL was the natural location for this work, since it is the facility that produces radioactive beams of neutron-rich nuclides for study by colliding nuclides into other nuclides. The goals of the sabbatical included writing a new National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, a letter of intent to perform experiments at a different experimental setup at the NSCL, continuing analysis work of existing data and participating in the development of new equipment for a future facility on the campus of MSU. This presentation will report the results of the sabbatical in the context of the overall research program and future plans.

Exploring Nursing Identities and Relationships at UnityPoint Health Trinity Medical Center in Rock Island
Session I-B-1: Olin 305 [10:45-11 a.m.]
With changes to the structure of healthcare in America, nursing has increasingly become a more complex role. The purpose of this project is to examine the identities and relationships among nurses at UnityPoint Health Trinity Medical Center in Rock Island within this context. Data was collected through a combination of participant observation and interviews. Nursing identities, roles and leadership are examined and explained using anthropological theory. The nurse is bound to a specific identity within the hospital setting that dictates interaction with other healthcare workers. Nursing identities must be redefined in order to fit the cultural shift from a medical hierarchy to a healthcare team.

Effects of Working with Human Remains and Coping Mechanisms Over Time
Session I-B-2: Olin 305 [11-11:15 a.m.]
Human remains are used in many different professional fields: coroners with pathologists work in solving the cause of death, funeral directors work in embalming and cremating bodies for burial, and professors and students work by learning and teaching. Interviews and participant observations were conducted with all these groups. The focus of this paper is on coping mechanisms used in the United States, with a particular focus on the Augustana College community. I found that there are generally three responses to working with cadavers on a regular basis: People will try to dehumanize the body by saying that it is just the shell of a person, they will humanize the body by acknowledging that they were a person and associating that they were a human with a life, or they will use a combination of the two. Personal backgrounds and beliefs shape individual responses.

The Transaction between ‘Irishness’ and ‘Polishness’ in a Multicultural Context
Session I-B-3: Olin 305 [11:15 - 11:30 a.m.]
In this paper I address the idea of a changing cultural identity among the Polish communities in Ireland. Though quantitative demographic data as well as qualitative data before 2008 exists, there is little written about how the Polish population exist today, years after Ireland's economic downturn. The research presented in this paper offers a look into contemporary Ireland through the eyes of current Polish immigrants. During the summer of 2017, I spent three-and-a-half weeks conducting ethnographic fieldwork in Dublin and Cork through the use of interviewing and participant observation. From living with first-generation families, to interviewing the people in charge of Polish organizations, to observing families with inter-generational conflicts, I discovered the complications of what it is like to inhabit two cultures at once. My data suggests that there is a spectrum of assimilation techniques that is dependent on the individual's cultural involvement: from feeling fully Polish and treating Ireland like just a place to work to feeling fully cosmopolitan and treating Ireland like a trampoline to the “rest of the West,” a colorful range of multicultural identity presented itself that both answered and questioned the ideas of “Irishness,” “Polishness,” and what it means to be wholly European in the era of Europeanization and the European Union.

The Things We Still Carry: Agent Orange Sick Claims and Veteran Identity
Session I-B-4: Olin 305 [11:30-11:45 a.m.]
During the Vietnam War, 20 million gallons of an herbicidal defoliant, codenamed “Agent Orange,” devastated the Vietnamese landscape and injured thousands of soldiers and civilians. The potential of Agent Orange exposure placed an additional burden on Vietnam-era veterans, particularly on their physical and social health. Rejection and denial of health services and benefits changed veterans’ understanding of their own health and health-seeking behaviors. Through interviews with several Vietnam combat veterans and an Agent Orange National Chairperson, I unpack the layers of complex reactions, such as frustration and emotional isolation, attached to Agent Orange, illness, and the obstacles veterans face when seeking compensation and treatment. Illness narratives also expound how Agent Orange exposure and denial affected their veteran identity. Despite hardships, these veterans create their own explanation of health problems, redefine their relationship to the VA clinics, and connect their health to broader Vietnam-era veteran issues.

The Weaponized Illusory Truth: The Lessons from Fake News
Session I-D-1: Hanson 102 [10:45-11:05 a.m.]
The rise of “fake news” undoubtedly has attracted our attention recently throughout social and political arenas. Although there is much to be alarmed about, the term not only warrants in-depth research, but also challenges our core intellectual foundations. One of the most disturbing influence of fake news is its ability to challenge our information literacy, which is the foundation of our critical thinking. In other words, we are now facing the utmost challenge, requiring us to exercise a much more sophisticated and higher-level of comprehension to simply distinguish fake news from credible news. To make matters worse, when fake news is transmitted and repeated within social media—Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, etc.—where an increasing number of people often perceive it as more credible and trustworthy than existing traditional media, such as news agencies, it hinders our ability to think critically even more because of the younger population’s growing tendency to rely on social media as a trustful and credible information source and social media’s core strengths—unlimited and targeted repetition and its disguise as a friendly source of information. In this presentation, the ramification of fake news and social media in our society will be discussed.

Shoot Like a Lady: How Gender Stereotypes Affect the Role of Sports Photojournalists
Session I-D-2: Hanson 102 [11:05-11:25 a.m.]
Photojournalism historically is a male-dominated field, with women representing fewer than a third of photojournalists. Sports photojournalism is even less gender balanced. Using in-depth interviews of eight photojournalists, this research examines the difference gender makes in this field. Guided by social role theory, it studies how gender stereotypes impact the work of men and women sports photojournalists.

The Reemerging Concern Over Air Pollution in China: The Smog of the State’s Efforts to Guide Public Opinion
Session I-D-3: Hanson 102 [11:25-11:45 a.m.]
In January 2012, Beijing began releasing air quality reports of PM 2.5. The move has been credited as a major breakthrough in China’s environmental governance as it is argued that online environmental activists in China were the major driving force behind it. Since then, the issue of air pollution has reemerged as one of the hottest issues, and a series of new policies addressing air pollution have been adopted. Facing a relatively new phenomenon (wumai) and heightened public concerns, to what extent is the state still capable of guiding the public perception and opinions about the issue? By analyzing the discourse of air pollution in People’s Daily and comparing it with public opinion survey data, the newspaper finds that the state’s ability to guide public opinion is rather limited, indicating that opportunities do exist for civil society to play a bigger role in China’s environmental governance.

Why Employees Stay: The Study of Person-Organization Fit, Intent to Turnover and Commitment
Session I-F-1: Hanson 304 [10:45-11 a.m.]
Have you ever wondered why employees stay with organizations where they are clearly unhappy? This Senior Inquiry research project considers why employees stay with an organization, despite it not being the perfect fit. The relationship between a person’s fit with an organization and that person’s desire to leave should be clear: if you fit, you want to stay; if you don't, you want to leave. However, research has found that this relationship is not very strong. To attempt to strengthen this relationship, we will consider how commitment can affect one’s desire to stay with an organization, despite the lack of fit.

Advertising Within the Video Game Industry
Session I-F-2: Hanson 304 [11-11:15 a.m.]
One of the largest and fastest growing industries is the video game industry, which is expected to be worth nearly $230 billion by 2022. I was looking to combine my deep interests in the video game industry and in advertising to study the current advertising trends in industry, and through research, determine if I can better the advertising trends and techniques in the video game industry. I developed and distributed two surveys, one to identify buying habits, decision habits and preferences held by gamers in the video game industry. The other focused on conventions held for gamers in the industry. This data has helped me to identify what advertisers in the video game industry are doing correctly and what they should be doing differently.

Big Brother Is Watching: Facebook and Big Data Ethics
Session I-F-3: Hanson 304 [11:15-11:30 a.m.]
Just as George Orwell’s classic novel 1984 portrays a world in which Big Brother is always watching, the recent data breach at Facebook shows that we are not as in control of our data as we like to think. In a society relying increasingly on Big Data to make decisions, it is imperative that we understand the consequences of this technology for individual privacy. In this presentation, I will first define Big Data and individual privacy and discuss why privacy is in need of protection. I will then draw upon the approach of situationism to develop a framework for the ethical analysis of Big Data and conclude by discussing the recent Facebook data breach, analyzing what went wrong and how it could have been avoided by adhering to this ethical framework.

Pipeline or Waterslide: Advancing Women into Executive Positions in Business and Financial Planning
Session I-F-4: Hanson 304 [11:30-11:45 a.m.]
We seek to understand the continued lack of females in upper management or “C-Suite” positions in business and more specifically, the continued lack of female planners in the financial planning industry. We hypothesize that although great strides are being made to foster inclusion, these changes are stalled by not only unconscious prejudices against women, but also a lack of confidence by women themselves. By conducting interviews with more than a dozen women in a variety of executive and planning positions, we attempted to bring a consensus of some of the root causes of this imbalance as well as what changes need to be made within corporate culture and by women seeking these positions, based on these interviews and secondary data collected from previously conducted research.

A Review of Novel Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands as Transition Metal-Complex Catalyst Systems in Enantioselective Catalytic Reactions
Session I-G-1: Hanson 305 [10:45-11:15 a.m.]
The development of chiral catalysts is critical to the synthesis of pharmaceutically active compounds and industrial chemical production. Typical chemical reactions do not confer any stereoselectivity and thus require complicated, expensive techniques to isolate enantiomeric products. The development of chiral organometallic catalysts supported by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands provides improved air and thermal stability compared to currently available chiral catalysts using phosphines. Though chiral organometallic catalysts have the potential to transform the pharmaceutical and chemical production industrial, the continued development of novel catalysis is of critical importance. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of current NHC ligands employed in the development of chiral catalyst, the limitations of these ligands/catalysts and the potential future directive of this research to facilitate novel NHC ligands and catalyst.

C-H Bond Functionalization: A Promising Path in Synthetic Chemistry
Session I-G-2: Hanson 305 [11:15-11:45 a.m.]
Carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are fairly unreactive and have not been utilized frequently in synthetic pathways, so research into the activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds would offer novel solutions to current synthetic dilemmas. C-H bond functionalization is a fairly new technique that would allow for a carbon-hydrogen bond to be broken and replaced with a bond between carbon and another atom. This type of reaction can be used in fields such as pharmaceutical research. These reactions are environmentally friendly and economical, and they have high atom efficiency. Current discussion is focused on finding synthetic pathways that do not use metal catalysts due to the potential negative environmental effects and dwindling resources associated with metals.

Le Machiavel in the Tragedies of Jean Racine
Session I-H-1: Denkmann, Wallenberg Hall [10:45-11:05 a.m.]
The main goal of this dissertation is to examine the presence of le machiavel in the 17th-century tragedies of Jean Racine. It focuses on all of his tragedies and closely examines what characters have the traits of le machiavel. Furthermore, it examines how le machiavel influences the outcome of the tragedy at the end.

Queens in the Works of Jean Racine
Session I-H-2: Denkmann, Wallenberg Hall [11:05-11:25 a.m.]
In the works of Jean Racine, royalty plays a huge role, especially for the women who are royal. However, many of the women are not royal, but have equal or more power and influence over the ones who are royal or over the state. I will analyze queenship and the types of queens and non-queens in the works of Jean Racine that reveal the importance of power and influence in women in 17th-century French theatre.

An Exploration of Morality in the Tragedies of Racine
Session I-H-3: Denkmann, Wallenberg Hall [11:25-11:45 a.m.]
I seek to determine, or at least explore, the ways in which Jean Racine presents morality. Furthermore, I hope to make clear the importance of morality to Racine’s tragic vision as well as identify Racine’s contribution to our understanding of moral concepts through his use of different character roles that often are shared across different works. Often the role of a character contributes to what is morally expected of the character, and certainly influences how the character can be evaluated in terms of moral goodness. Given the subjective nature of morality, it is beneficial to formulate moral evaluations in relation to the particular role of each character. It is essential to draw similarities and distinctions between character roles as they develop and differ across Racine’s works. In general, one finds in the tragedies of Racine that, as is the case in the reality of the human experience, good and bad are not absolute.

A Place of Gemütlichkeit: The Holden Village of Augustana German Professor Erwin Weber
Session I-I-1: Old Main 132 [10:45-11:05 a.m.]
Lying in Augustana’s Special Collections are three insignificant-looking items: two 3-inch black binders with white labels that read “Holden I Copy” and “Holden II Copy” in red ink and a plastic spiral-bound paper compilation with photographs and memories of former Augustana German professor Erwin Weber’s summer at Holden Village in 1977. Titled “My Days at Holden,” this compilation is an unpublished photo book detailing the wilderness and the people of the community of Holden Village. This isolated village situated in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State draws many individuals, including Erwin Weber who came to lecture on the life of Martin Luther. However, what he came away with were photographs, poems, songs and memories that he made into a 200-plus page book. After uncovering these items, I had a desire to learn more about the man who took such beautiful photographs and made quite a remarkable compilation of a summer at Holden Village. To my dismay, I learned Erwin Weber passed away only a few years ago. My questions could not be answered by the man himself. Instead I turned to what was left—his books, artifacts and the people who knew him to help me understand Erwin Weber’s relation to Holden Village. By turning to these items and people and by viewing Holden Village as a place, I worked to interpret the significance of Holden Village to the former Augustana professor.

The Day George Wallace Came to Town
Session I-I-2: Old Main 132 [11:05-11:25 a.m.]
In 1968, when former Alabama governor George Wallace visited Wharton Field House in Moline, Ill., to give a routine speech on farm policy leading up to the 1968 presidential election, a riot occurred. My Senior Inquiry uncovers what happened during this tumultuous event and aims to explain why, by examining George Wallace and 1960s student and youth activism. The riot at Wharton encapsulates the fervor, and sometimes violence, which marked New Left activism at the dusk of the 1960s. I hope my presentation not only will explain my work, but the research process as well.

Making a German-American Place: Davenport, Iowa, 1836-1918
Session I-I-3: Old Main 132 [11:25-11:45 a.m.]
This study examines the impact of German-Americans in the creation of Davenport and Scott County, Iowa, from 1836 through 1918. Like cities in many other 19th-century places in the American interior, Davenport and Scott County direly needed people to settle it, build its infrastructure, develop its economy, and contribute to a growing social and political life. Conveniently, Davenport and Scott County boosters’ desires occurred simultaneously with rampant pauperism; political, ideological and religious revolutions; economic redundancy; and widespread dreams of rebirth in Germany. These conditions produced an unprecedented migration from Germany to Davenport and Scott County in the second-half of the 19th century. As Germans settled, they shaped their places to reflect aspects of their homelands, local geographic characteristics, national trends of industrialization and urbanization, and their evolving German-American identities. During the Germans’ first two decades, they largely lived and acted apart from their American counterparts. With time, German-Americans progressively were incorporated into larger, more inclusive political, educational, economic and social systems. They fought and earned their Stars and Stripes on Civil War battlefields, as well as in shoe factories, law offices and classrooms. Due to their hard work and public spirit, Davenport and Scott County’s Germans quickly became revered for their heavy contributions to this evolving place. Nevertheless, the story of German-American Davenport—and German-America, for that matter—concluded in tragedy. Amidst struggles for statewide prohibition, assimilative processes and WWI-era anti-German hysteria, the German-American legacy was marred, erased and ultimately all but forgotten.

Newfoundland and Irish Music: Synonymous or Similar?
Session I-M-2: Bergendoff, Larson Hall [11:05-11:25 a.m.]
This session explores how Newfoundland music was influenced by not only Irish music, but also English music. Some background on the connections and relationship Newfoundland had with England and Ireland is provided before delving into the influence these countries had on Newfoundland music. Musical examples are included to illustrate how the songs of Newfoundland have both similarities and differences compared to the music of Ireland and England.

Music Therapy in the Modern Era: Three Discussion
Session I-M-3: Bergendoff, Larson Hall [11:25-11:45 a.m.]
This Senior Inquiry presentation includes the findings of three pre-music therapy seniors’ research. The three projects delve into very different, but important aspects of music therapy in our modern era. Sean Harty’s “Memory and Music” explores the impact of music on different parts of the aging brain in regards to memory recall. Music therapy is one avenue to assist this type of clientele. Victoria R. Kleeman’s “Synergy Should Tell the Story in Music Therapy” looks into creating synergy within the world of music therapy. Her discussion leads with the idea that the creation of synergy comes with better exposure to the field to the public and more abundant research, and having licensure becoming available in all 50 states. Kate Pisarczyk’s “Music’s Effect on Stress” details the role that stress plays on college students, and how music can act as a coping mechanism. Details of a study that was conducted in which the effects of music listening on college students’ stress levels also will be discussed.

The Ethics and Economics of Pre-Hospital Emergency Care: How Mobile Integrated Healthcare/Community Paramedicine and Practical Wisdom Can Help Solve the Ethical, Economic and Operational Challenges of America’s Emergency Medical Care Providers
Session I-O-1: Brunner Theatre Center, Honkamp Myhre Black Box [10:45-11 a.m.]
This session identifies some of the critical economic, ethical and operational issues inherent in the current modus operandi for American Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers. At a time when the United States eclipses all other nations in terms of health care spending, but significantly lags behind other developed countries in almost every conceivable health outcome, legislators, administrators, providers and patients are seeking relief from an unjust, bloated, expensive and error-prone system. Mobile Integrated Healthcare/Community Paramedicine (MIH/CP) represents a significant leap forward in how pre-hospital care is delivered to patients with chronic diseases and other low-acuity medical issues. By providing care across the continuum, eliminating costly transport fees and ensuring patients get a say in the care that they receive, MIH/CP helps set a new standard for the role of EMS providers. MIH/CP not only mitigates the economic and operational issues inherent with the current modus operandi of the nation’s EMS providers, but also MIH/CP, when applied in conjunction with Lauris Kaldjian’s phronesis-based ethical framework, helps mitigate the ethical issues that have arisen and in doing so, paves the way for a new, more efficient, cost-effective and ethical system of care.

Wrongful Convictions by Police-Induced False Confessions
Session I-O-2: Brunner Theatre Center, Honkamp Myhre Black Box [11-11:15 a.m.]
Wrongful convictions have two main negative effects on society: (1) innocent people are imprisoned, and (2) the real perpetrators are allowed to wander the streets. To analyze this issue, this presentation discusses police interrogation tactics (specifically when using the Reid Technique), the association between police interrogation tactics and false confessions, the association between false confessions and wrongful convictions, ways in which wrongful convictions affect communities and their members, and possible ways to mitigate this problem. Although current police interrogation tactics can be useful at eliciting confessions, interrogation methods must be reformed in light of evidence that police-induced false confessions occur and result in wrongful convictions.

Wonder Woman: Classical Hero, Modern Superheroine and Feminist Figure
Session I-O-4: Brunner Theatre Center, Honkamp Myhre Black Box [11:30-11:45 a.m.]
Wonder Woman is an Amazonian princess and superheroine who has been inspiring women since her comic debut in 1941. From her origins to the villains she faces, Wonder Woman’s stories and character are wrapped in allusions to famous myths and figures of Greek and Roman literature. In my Senior Inquiry, I investigate Wonder Woman’s Classical connections and compare the ancient portrayal of Amazonian women to their portrayal in the comics and the recent films Wonder Woman (2017) and Justice League (2017). I also analyze Dr. William Marston’s complicated and problematic feminist views that inspired his creation of Wonder Woman.
