URAC 2019 Program of Abstracts URAC•2019 PROGRAM OF ABSTRACTS Wednesday, April 24, 2019 Sponsored by the Drinko Center for Undergraduate Research WELCOME FROM THE DRINKO CENTER FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH WELCOME to URAC 2019! Westminster College is proud to host the 2019 Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration. Today, approximately 320 students will present their research and creative projects through oral presentations, poster sessions, films, music and theatre performances, and art displays. Nearly every academic program on campus is represented in the outstanding work being showcased today, and students at all levels, from first years to seniors, will be engaged in the activities. The Westminster College mission statement includes eight essential outcomes: to reason logically and evaluate critically; to communicate effectively; to think creatively and appreciate aesthetic expressions; to demonstrate intellectual curiosity; to acquire knowledge of self, society, human cultures, the natural world, and human relationships to God; to apply knowledge to contemporary issues; to demonstrate moral and ethical commitments to neighbor, society, and the natural world; and to demonstrate commitment to lifelong learning and the acquisition of skills for careers and responsible service as world citizens. The student work being presented, performed, and displayed today embodies all of these outcomes and is a testament to the value of a Westminster education. Our 2019 URAC participants are excited to share their work with the community today. Much of what you will see today is the culmination of years of study or countless hours of rehearsal. For some students, URAC 2019 will be their first formal presentation in college, and for others, participating in URAC 2019 is a final milestone before graduation. We are enormously proud of all of the students sharing their work today. Today’s artists, performers, and scholars were supported in their endeavors by Westminster College faculty, staff, administration, and campus offices, as well as by parents and friends. We would like to thank everyone for providing this support and helping Westminster students to shine. Special thanks go out to the members of the Undergraduate Research Advisory Council, Library and Information Services, and Marketing and Communications. Their efforts made URAC 2019 possible. We hope you enjoy today’s events! Thank you for joining us at the Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration. Karen K. Resendes and Pamela A.

Justin Anuszek Environmental Science Faculty Sponsor: Helen Boylan McKelvey Campus Center Witherspoon, 12:30-1:30 p.m. Exploring Sustainable Communities with the New Wilmington Borough and the Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification As an intern with the New Wilmington Borough this semester, I am researching the certification process with Sustainable Pennsylvania Community Certification. This certification is voluntary and is designed to help municipalities save money, conserve resources and encourage innovation. The certification involves point-earning criteria in different areas. A few of those areas include healthy communities, energy use, conservation and green building, and environmental stewardship. Based on the number of points earned by a municipality, a certain level of certification is granted, ranging from associate to platinum. Some local communities have already undergone the certification process including the Borough of Slippery Rock and the city of New Castle, both of which have a silver certification level. I am involved with researching what criteria the Borough already has met using publicly available resources and information available from Borough documents. 4 Jace Armentrout Broadcasting and Media Production Faculty Sponsor: Bradley Weaver Co-authors: Atit Amin, Rachael Angermeier, Dwayne Brown, Hannah Erdmann, Jaclyn Bleggi, Tori Zabo McKelvey Campus Center Mueller Theater, 2:15 – 3:00 p.m. Funding received from the Drinko Center First Look: Capstone Documentary Trailers Broadcast Students give us a sneak peek on their capstone documentaries.

This study investigated the relationship between childhood experiences with parenting behavior and the quality of adult friendships. Seventy undergraduates completed a survey to measure the supportive and controlling behaviors of their parents and the quality of their adult friendships. Two hypotheses were examined to determine if the qualities of the parent-child relationship are modeled in friendships, or whether those who perceived a lack of parental support compensate with more supportive friendships. Results indicated that fathers’ supportive behaviors predicted adult friendship quality for both sons and daughters. Mothers’ supportive behaviors were found to be a significant predictor of adult friendship quality for sons only. The hypothesis that positive behaviors of parenting are modeled in adult friendships was supported. Future research should explore the impact of father’s parenting and the specific ways in which both parents influence their children’s adult friendships. Nebal Barhoome Computer Science Faculty Sponsor: David Shaffer Patterson Hall 210, 10:15-10:30 a.m. Single Page Web Application to Manage Inventory Inventory Management systems reduce errors, achieve the highest rate of validity of data entered, and reduce the cost by combining the data shared in a single database. These systems help speed decision-making, planning, and control of the company. The goal of this project is to set up a Single Page Web Application to Manage Inventory. The system will use services available from the server in UNIX Lab. The project will make use of the following existing software Markup Language: HTML, CSS (Cascading-Style Sheet), and a scripting languages JS to design the user interface of a website, and PostgreSQL for Database, Nodejs ( Express.js ) for Webserver, and Vue.js for Client. 5 Ashley Barker Neuroscience Faculty Sponsor: Deanne Buffalari Patterson Hall 105, 9:50-10:05 a.m. Funding received from the Drinko Center The Sex Differences in the Reinforcement Enhancement Ability of Nicotine in Rodents Nicotine has previously shown to enhance conditioned place avoidance behavior after a single nicotine exposure in males, but females have been shown to be more sensitive to nicotine in other tests. This study used male (6) and female (12) Sprague-Dawley rats to explore sex differences in nicotine enhancement. Rats were conditioned to avoid a shock conditioned chamber of a place conditioning apparatus. They were tested for a conditioned shock avoidance after injections of saline or nicotine. Shock supported place avoidance in all rats; nicotine enhanced avoidance in all rats, but more significantly in females. These results support the idea that sex may contribute to NIC reinforcement

  • The Labour Market in Cognitive Bio-Capitalism. the Italian Case
    Andrea Fumagalli1 – Cristina Morini2 The Precarity-Trap and Basic Income: the Labour Market in Cognitive Bio-capitalism. The Italian Case Preliminary draft – not to be quoted Introduction In a previous essay3, we started to discuss how “qualitative” changes in labour market could affect the process of valorization, by subsuming each cognitive-relation aspect of the human life. We used the Marxian concept of “subsumption”, since, as always, the capitalist process of valorization is still based on exploitation of labour. Nonetheless, currently we face a “labour” which is no longer possible to singularly decline, which does not describe a homogeneous, univocal condition. Above all, it is a “labour” which tends to be irreducible to a “material” and quantitative measurement. This point do not deny the always material (and fatiguing) nature of labour. Rather, we argue that, in the last 30 years, what has been modified is the “form” of production and of the commodity which generates the process of accumulation and valorization. In fact, the role of immaterial production is more central, as well as the quota of added value which is dependent on supply, circulation and diffusion of immaterial commodities (by definition impossible to be quantitatively measured). When labour is no longer primarily physical (muscular expenditure) but, rather, involves more mental faculties, then it tends to differentiate itself: it “subjectifies” itself. In fact, subjectivity – namely individuals' life – constitutes the potential and real base of the process of valorization. This is why we propose the term “bio-capitalism”. In the current heterodox debate, there are many attributes that can be used beside the term “labour”: cognitive, affective or care.
