Stars with cores more than \u223c5 times the mass of the sun will become black holes. However, very massive stars, with cores \u223c40-120 times the mass of the sun will explode in a hypernova, leaving nothing behind. However, recent observations show that some black holes exist with masses that suggest a star that should have undergone a hypernova. I attempt to explain the existence of these black holes from stars that experience collisions with other stars and potentially evolve into supergiant stars that directly collapse into these \u201cforbidden\u201d black holes. I demonstrate that a very massive star that experiences a single collision during its life may collapse into a black hole, but subsequent collisions make it less likely to collapse into a black hole when it dies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Joe Leszczynski<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Has Jennifer\u2019s Law Made a Difference? An Analysis of Caseloads and Discretion in Cases of Child Custody<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Majors: Political Science; Community and Justice Studies<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABSTRACT: Domestic violence is a pervasive problem in the United States and has gained more attention in recent years. In 2021, the Connecticut legislature passed Jennifer\u2019s Law, which expanded the definition of domestic violence to include \u201ccoercive control\u201d behaviors and enshrined new child custody factors used when making determinations. Using principal-agent theory, punctuated equilibrium theory, street-level bureaucracy theory, and judicial policymaking literature, this project analyzes how the law has been implemented by trial courts. Analysis is grounded in scholarship surrounding the function of the family court in the United States. Findings suggest that the new law has spurred more legal activity, but is being applied inconsistently, and outcomes for litigants who allege abusive behavior have become more unfavorable. These results have implications for the lives of abuse victims, the possible strategies for future family court reform, as well as the efficacy of similar pieces of legislation being passed in other states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Bridgette K. Reeb<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Roadmap to a Neighborhood in Healthcare<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major: Philosophy; Minor:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Health Studies<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABSTRACT: Neighborhood is more than geographical. It\u2019s a way that we relate to ourselves and others. I develop a relational theory that I call \u201cneighborhood philosophy\u201d. I discovered neighborhood philosophy through the nexus of the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, the iconic children\u2019s television show host Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood, and my belated husband Jim Reeb. I argue that neighborly love needs to be experienced in context to be understood, which makes modeling neighborly love critical to promoting neighborhood. I propose that while direct and prolonged exposure to neighborly relational models is the best way to help people \u201ccatch\u201d neighborly \u201cattitudes\u201d, indirect exposures through media can still have a profoundly positive impact on one\u2019s capacity for neighborhood. I draw on examples from Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood to argue that neighborhood philosophy-informed relational models for patients in educational media could help enable them to be better neighbors to themselves and their healthcare partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"box box-blue box-align-\"><p>Senior Project Poster Session<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>2:15 PM \u2013 3:45 PM, Main Floor of the Pelletier Library<\/p><\/div><\/strong><br \/>\nFor the past 19 years, Allegheny College has held a Senior Project Poster Symposium to highlight work from nominated students across all departments and programs.

The project utilizes the Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court decision as a founding ideal and principle of achieving racial justice in the educational structure. Through further analysis, the degree of racial education disparities suggests that the intentions of the Brown v Board of Education decision have in the long term failed due to the political interests that led to the decision. The work of Care of Justice proposes that to ultimately achieve racial justice compassion must be a part of the political approach of citizens who want a healthy and sustainable democracy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ankitha Pamula<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Major: Neuroscience<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Minor: Economics<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hometown: Athens, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Title: \u201cSleep Quality &amp; Cell Phone Use: A Survey Performed In Allegheny College Students\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abstract: Sleep is increasingly important for the brain and mental and physical well being. Unfortunately, there are many variables which contribute to worsening sleep quality. My research focused on determining if problematic cell phone use has any correlation to sleep quality. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Problematic Use of Mobile Phone (PUMP) scales were paired together in a survey and distributed to Allegheny College students. Data collected from 68 students was analyzed statistically and found to have a statistically significant moderately positive correlation between the PSQI and PUMP scores. This moderate positive correlation indicates some influence of phone use on sleep quality, but not as the sole factor. Other factors that may influence sleep quality are stress, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, physical activity, and smoking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lirona Wainer-Yaffe<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Major: English (Literature)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Minors: Political science and psychology<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hometown: Rehovot, Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Title: \u201cHow Maxwell Perkins&#8217;s Relationships Inform Contemporary Approaches to Cultivating Successful Author-Editor Relationships in U.S Book Publishing\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abstract: In order to answer my research question, &#8220;What is a successful author-editor relationship?&#8221; I examined the author-editor relationships of Maxwell Perkins and three of his authors \u2013 F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings \u2013 by analyzing and closely reading their correspondences, as shared in Editor to Author: The letters of Maxwell Perkins (Wheelock 1950), and Max Perkins: Editor of Genius (Berg 1978). It was imperative that I investigate more than one relationship, since each author-editor relationship is unique. It is impossible to glean what constitutes a good editor, or what informs a successful author-editor relationship, from one single example. Not only do different editors take different approaches, but the same editor may also take varying approaches to each distinct author-editor relationship they are part of. My exploration of Perkins&#8217;s relationships with Fitzgerald, Wolfe, and Rawlings individually illuminated the differences, and the consistencies, in Perkins&#8217;s navigation of author-editor relationships, thereby revealing when his conduct formed patterns, standards, and methodologies that could be adapted so that they are useful to today&#8217;s editors in cultivating successful author-editor relationships<\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"box box-blue box-align-\"><p>Senior Project Poster Session<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>2:30\u20133:45PM, Main Floor of the Pelletier Library<\/p><\/div><\/strong><br \/>\nFor the past 18 years, Allegheny College has held a Senior Project Poster Symposium to highlight work from nominated students across all departments and programs.

This not only includes changes in average temperatures (e.g., warmer winters), but more variable temperatures (e.g., a 70F day in the Spring followed by a 30F day). To some degree, organisms can cope with these temperature changes because of their physiological systems&#8230; but the degree to which variable temperature might cause short- or long-term effects in wild organisms is still poorly understood.

Through an examination of identity construction spanning from the beginning of the modern period in the sixteenth century to the present day, I argue for a new understanding of self-presentation that is rooted in the material conditions of the digital era. These conditions are shaped by the internet as a public, cooperative worldwide network, as well as influenced by late-stage American capitalism. Online activity facilitates the creation of virtual selves, social media in particular providing a framework for people to curate their own identities and present themselves to others. I propose curation as a way to conceive of selfhood. This account of selfhood holds the potential to imagine new forms of embodied existence that go beyond the problems of a modern, unitary self. Additionally, in conceiving of themselves as curated selves, people become engaged in a liberatory project where humans are not at odds with digital technology, but rather learn to exist with it. This project contributes to ongoing conversations in philosophy by exploring ways persons may conceive of themselves, providing a framework for understanding selfhood in the context of digitized capitalism.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Student:<\/span> Lilly Noel<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Major\/Minor:<\/span> Global Health Studies Major; Music Performance Minor<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Title of Talk:<\/span> The Relationship Between Maternal Education and Child Health Outcomes Relating to Diarrheal Disease in Ghana<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Abstract:<\/span> Maternal health and education affect child health outcomes relating to diarrheal disease in Ghana. Risk factors such as the mother\u2019s education level, socioeconomic status, geographic location, and access to care impact diarrheal disease prevalence and child health outcomes. Standard Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) from 2003 and 2014 showed an increase in family planning methods usage in rural populations and a decrease in urban areas. Additionally, the surveys showed an increase in family planning as educational attainment increased. Higher educational attainment was also associated with decreased child diarrhea prevalence. Between 2003 and 2014, there was an increase in individuals seeking treatment in government hospitals, health centers, and drug stores. The highest prevalence of child diarrhea was found to be in breastfeeding children. The trends concluded that maternal education had a significant impact on diarrheal prevalence whereas family planning usage did not show as significant an impact.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Student:<\/span> Raina Semenick<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Major\/Minor:<\/span> Chemistry Major, Studio Art Minor<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Title of Talk:<\/span> Development of a Self-replicating Molecular Scaffold Utilizing Dynamic-Covalent Chemistry and Chalcogen Bonding<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Abstract:<\/span> Exploring self-replicating molecular systems which are not DNA-based are important to the pursuit of exobiotic life. This can be achieved by covalently attaching two complementary compounds to form a larger, self-complementary template molecule. We designed and synthesized a new molecular scaffold that utilizes sulfur interactions as part of its replication mechanism. The key scaffold-forming step acts through dynamic equilibrium. The synthesis of the dynamic template molecule and the subsequent kinetic studies to confirm self-replication are presented.<\/p>\n<h4>Senior Project Poster Session. 2:15PM-3:45PM, Main Floor of the Pelletier Library<\/h4>\n<p>For the past 17 years, Allegheny College has held a Senior Project Poster Symposium to highlight work from nominated students across all departments and programs.
