Stacey Shaw, Social Work Successful refugee adaptation to life in the United States (U.S.) has traditionally been measured in terms of economic self-sufficiency and English language acquisition. While these indicators may relate to independence and acculturation, major questions remain about how refugees fare in the U.S. Recent programmatic efforts incorporate attention to integration, wellbeing, empowerment, […]

Perception of Speech and Song in Religious Music: A Neurological Approach
Dagan Pielstick and Francesca Lawson, Comparative Arts & Letters Introduction The relationship between speech and song has been an area of interest in evolutionary biology and neuroscience over the past two decades. Some evolutionary biologists have hypothesized that music and language descended from a protolanguage in early human communication (Brown 2000). At the same time, […]
Quantifying predictive value of biological data types in machine learning models of cancer outcome
Samantha Jensen, Stephen Piccolo, Biology Precision medicine is a growing movement toward utilizing molecular diagnostics to guide medical decisions. It is particularly useful when applied to cancer treatment, as knowing details about cancer stage, genetic pathology, and tumor type can inform life-saving decisions. Increasingly, physicians may use genetic, proteomic, epigenetic, and expression data to determine treatment […]
Passive CubeSat Probes for Affordable, Low-Risk Inspection of Space Vehicles
Josh Cannon, Brian Iverson, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Effective fault detection is vital for safe and reliable spacecraft performance. Traditionally, developers have relied almost exclusively on on-board instrumentation to detect faults in spacecraft performance. Remote inspection can provide a holistic complement to on-board instrumentation, but it is seldom incorporated into spacecraft missions due to its cost and […]
Heterodinuclear Co-Zr Compound Shows Increased Reactivity in Kumada Coupling
James Coombs, Daniel Ess, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Heterodinuclear compounds containing a metal–metal bond represent a potentially useful subclass of catalyst in organic synthesis. Heterodinuclear compounds offer the possibility of increased reactivity due to interactions between metal centers (Scheme 1A). These so-called cooperative effects can enhance reactivity by changing the electronic density, increasing […]
MEG Final Report: Peer Teaching TeamSTEPPS
Dr. Michael Thomas, Nursing Department I’m very grateful for the Mentoring Environment Grant (MEG) I received in 2015. This grant has brought about positive changes within the College of Nursing at BYU and has helped multiple students have significant mentoring experiences. Evaluation of Objectives: 1. Have student teaching assistants in the N293 Communication for Nurses […]
The Women of Guernica: A Compilation of Interpretations
Heidi Herrera and Faculty Mentor: Dr. Heather Belnap-Jensen, Art History and Curatorial Studies Introduction Although there is a wealth of scholarship on Picasso’s Guernica (1937) (Fig. 1), until recently there has been a distinct lack of analyses completed through feminist methods, an approach essential to a holistic understanding of Guernica. Conducting on-site research at the […]
Tracking Zebrafish Tectal Neuron Lineages
Christopher Keenan Introduction: My research team’s original question seemed simple enough: what sorts of neurons exist in a zebrafish tectum (the site of sensory integration in the zebrafish brain)? But, as with any worthwhile scientific endeavor, our project has not proven to be as easy or straightforward as the question may suggest. Over the past […]
The Prevalence and Effect of Gamification in Scottish Museums
Carol Allred and Dr. John Murphy, Harold B. Lee Library Since their western beginnings in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the role that museums have played in society have changed. Early museums, like the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London, were initially galleries that were open weekly to the public. They primarily […]
Complimentary Medical Frameworks: Hmong Shamanism in France and Thailand
Madison Harmer and Dr. Jacob Hickman, Anthropology Department Current social science literature outside of anthropology has attributed Hmong difficulties adapting to Western health care to their traditional healing practices, claiming that successful integration only occurs as the younger generation discards traditional beliefs (Franzen-Castle & Smith 2013). Ethnographic research conducted in France and Thailand refutes these […]
