Bias in Care: Assessing Patient Experiences of Discrimination in a Geriatric Clinic
Tuesday March 25, 2025 10:00am - 10:30am EDT
Growing evidence suggests patient perceptions of discrimination in healthcare directly affects health outcomes. This research uses the Discrimination in Health Care Survey (DHS) to investigate the perceived quality of healthcare in the geriatric population. The DHS tool assesses a person’s experiences of mistreatment in healthcare attributed to race, ancestry, national origin, sex, disability, and age. Use of the DHS tool, followed by a personal interview may improve provider knowledge so that patients and their families can experience improvement of the quality of care and health outcomes. Combining a standardized screening tool with qualitative patient feedback offers a more comprehensive understanding of discrimination in healthcare.

Tolkien's Middle-Earth: Economies in The Hobbit
Tuesday March 25, 2025 10:30am - 11:00am EDT
Critics of J.R.R. Tolkien often reference archetypal races in "The Hobbit" as symbols of ancient mythological figures. While scholars acknowledge these archetypes, I argue that Tolkien economically bridges Middle-Earth and the human world using the races to warn against economic corruption. Tolkien presents Hobbits as his ideal anarchist and 'green' society which embodies an economy based on mutual aid, free will, and natural resources. In contrast, the villains in his story succumb to corruption through mechanization and pride. "The Hobbit" critiques modern economic systems by highlighting the dangers of industrialization and greed, while advocating for a simpler, morally-grounded society.

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That: Exploring LGBTQ+ Representation in Modern Television
Tuesday March 25, 2025 11:00am - 11:30am EDT
In the last fifty years, there has been a drastic increase in representation of LGBTQ+ characters in entertainment media, particularly television. This research paper explores the influence of LGBTQ+ characters depicted in television on the public’s opinion of the LGBTQ+ community. After exploring the past literature on the topic, the paper will examine the data depicting this increase in visibility, and then get into specific examples of queer characters and how their portrayal either helps or harms the cause of widespread queer acceptance. This paper finishes with an analysis of research exploring the relationship between LGBTQ+ characters and public acceptance.

Rewriting History: How Carbon Black-Based Inks Changed the World
Tuesday March 25, 2025 11:30am - 12:00pm EDT
One of the most common elements present in our universe is carbon. It is used in rubber, plastics, material coatings, and pencil graphite. However, how has this element impacted human history in terms of communication, religion, culture, and recording history itself? In an exciting blend of science and human studies, this lecture aims to answer this question by showcasing just how valuable carbon black-based inks have been in developing societies and written languages. Additionally, this lecture seeks to recapitulate major movements in preserving and spreading of knowledge through writings from antiquity as well as methods for dating carbon-based artifacts and manuscripts.

An Emergency Management Plan for a Hypothetical Malaria Outbreak in Harnett County NC
Tuesday March 25, 2025 1:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Using Harnett County, NC, as the site of a hypothetical Malaria outbreak, a series of emergency management recommendations are proposed to mitigate and respond to the emerging public health emergency. Malaria is a mosquito-borne, infectious disease, found mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South America but is occasionally found in the United States. Supposing an outbreak was to occur locally, it would necessitate exploring local, state and federal resources, available for a successful cross-jurisdictional response. This paper approaches a hypothetical public health emergency using a multijurisdictional-intergovernmental approach.

Succession: A deeper look through the lenses of Narratives, Co-Cultural Theory and Dominant Group Theory
Tuesday March 25, 2025 1:30pm - 2:00pm EDT
This article analyzes HBO’s Succession through the Narrative Paradigm (Fisher, 1984, 1985, 1989), Co-Cultural theory (Orbe 1998; Razzante & Orbe, 2018; Razzante, et al., 2021), and Dominant Group theory (Razzante & Orbe 2018; Razzante et al., 2021) to examine its portrayal of power dynamics and identity conflicts. The series probes the Roy family’s multibillion-dollar company, uncovering problems such as familial dysfunction, corporate greed, and systemic privilege. Using Walter Fisher’s Narrative Paradigm, the examination emphasizes how the Roy family creates narratives to maintain control. Mark Orbe’s Co-Cultural theory and Robert Razzante’s Dominant Group theory analyze Siobhan “Shiv” Roy’s navigation of gendered challenges set by her father, Logan Roy, while benefiting from her privileges as a rich white woman. Through thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), vital scenes showcase Logan’s persuasive dominance and Shiv’s complicity in aiding oppressive structures. This analysis emphasizes Succession’s portrayal of oppression and privilege, providing an important commentary on power and cultural identity in organizational communication.

Guenevere’s Loyalties: Cultural Concerns in Malory’s Morte d'Arthur and the BBC’s Merlin
Tuesday March 25, 2025 2:00pm - 2:30pm EDT
Legends of King Arthur have passed through generation after generation, adapting to various cultures. Thomas Malory’s fifteenth-century Morte d'Arthur remains one of the most well-known collections of Arthurian legends. Malory makes the adulterous affair between Sir Lancelot and Arthur’s queen, Guenevere, a key element of the plot. Six centuries later, the BBC television series Merlin retells the Arthurian love triangle—this time with a twist. Through their representation of Guenevere and her role in the infamous Lancelot–Guenevere affair, Thomas Malory and the creators of Merlin reveal the specific gender and political concerns of their respective cultures.

Assessing Risk of a Cardiac Event Prior to Initiating Aerobic Exercise: A Scoping Review
Tuesday March 25, 2025 2:30pm - 3:00pm EDT
Assessing the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) before initiating aerobic exercise is vital with direct access to physical therapy (PT). While there are various methods, PT lacks a standardized approach. This scoping review yielded 1,519 articles; 35 articles met established criteria. Five methods were identified: (1) risk factor assessment (2) questionnaires (3) calculators (4) physical examinations (5) exercise testing with electrocardiogram. Risk factor assessment yielded the most statistical information regarding MACE. Risk calculators provided a clearer assessment low, medium, or high-risk categories. PTs can use these tools to assess risk and identify patients that require further evaluation.
