The Role of Balance and Neck Strength in Youth Concussion

Concussion: A concussion is a trauma-induced alteration in mental status that may or may not involve loss of consciousness; this can include a direct blow to the head or a blow to the body resulting in the head and brain moving quickly back and forth (1). Current Screen: Current concussion screen consists of: symptom checklist, cognitive assessment known as Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), and Balance Errors Scoring System (BESS) (2). Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine an assessment to screen an individual’s risk of sustaining a sport-related concussion. Hypothesis: We hypothesized the SCAT 4, BESS, Four Square Step Test, and Mirror Star Trace would identify deficits in adolescent athletes who sustained a concussion

Por la Patria y la Revolución: Sifting through Guatemalan Military Archival Materials

What explains the Guatemalan military\u27s intervention in politics and its eventual take over of the government in 1963? One answer is ideology, and if ideology matters, then it would make sense to look at the education of interventionist officers in Guatemala. To find the link between education and militarism, I spent two months sifting through declassified military documents in Guatemala. This poster presentation describes my biggest challenges and key finds as I dug through military academy documents, piecing together the fragments and shards of relevant information. Focused on the years immediately before and after the 1944 Revolution, the documents revealed a highly centralized institution in which every minute detail of the Guatemalan military academy had to be reported. While the Revolution did little to change that, I was able to piece together evidence of an ideological shift in terms of how officers perceived their institution and their role in Guatemalan national development

Educational Preferences of West Virginia\u27s Female Woodland Owners

The growing cadre of women woodland owners within the general landowner population will increasingly direct decisions on how woodland properties are managed for timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. In the past, women woodland owners have been underserved with regard to their educational needs. Using a mail-based questionnaire and tax records, we surveyed woodland owners in four West Virginia counties to explore differences in educational preferences between female and male woodland owners. We found differences associated with several woodland-related topics of interest and seminar attributes
