URide

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person can travel in the same car. Due to the increase in population and the rapid increase in urbanization, there are many problems in transportation. This tends to problems like an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic, pollution, parking problems, and stress. To overcome these hurdles, we developed “Uride” a web-based car sharing application that will allow travelers to post and search if vehicles are available for carpool in their desired path. Uride is an alternative to existing services that aims to connect travelers in order to share transportation costs and reduce stress on their next scheduled trip. This will enable people using this application to share their everyday expenditure on traveling, not worry about hiring a cab.

Dock Talk

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Today we constantly use our phones to act as another form of verification. Unfortunately, this requires us to jump from device to device to prove that we have our phones. Dock Talk is a product that will communicate authentication codes, so the end user does not have to. This way, a user can set their phone down to charge and not have to worry about pesky authentication codes. By using NFC technology our dock will be able to receive authentication codes from the phone. If you are traveling and did not bring your dock with you, you will still be able to use old verification methods.

CareLine

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: If a relative were placed in a long-term healthcare facility tomorrow, we would all love to be able to communicate frequently with them over the web, wouldn’t we? In many places, we simply cannot. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over eight million people receive some form of long-term care annually. Whether at a nursing home, adult service center, or mental health institution, long-term care has great importance in our society. Yet these facilities mostly operate using dated technology and software. We built CareLine to bridge that communication gap between families, patients, and caretakers. CareLine provides an innovative solution that features a mobile friendly site, built-in office appointment-making, text and video chat, and email notifications with automated updates as a means to ease the anxiety that comes with long-term care. CareLine is a sleek and modern web application that features a built-in calendar for office appointments, text and video chat, and email notifications with automated updates. It has a TypeScript front end with a NodeJS and Fastify back end and a Microsoft SQL Server database. Our app is HIPAA compliant and secured with modern authentication tools. CareLine is designed to increase the amount of communication between not only the family and their relatives in long-term care situations, but also the family and the facility's caretakers. There is a myriad of concerns that come along with these scenarios, which our app aims to ease. While we do not provide the care ourselves, we offer a platform to give families a direct line. CareLine is your line to care, right away

Interdisciplinary Capstone: Bringing Dialogue in the Dark to Cincinnati

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: The purpose of this capstone was to organize and pursue the creation of a Dialogue in the Dark exhibition in Cincinnati. Dialogue in the Dark is an organization that, since 1988, has internationally utilized exhibits that allow visitors to be led through an hour long simulation of blindness as lead by a visually impaired guide through four pitch back simulated environments. The purpose of this exhibit is twofold. In an immediate sense it is meant to demonstrate to visitors that those who we often marginalize due to their disabilities are in fact quite capable, effectively serving as a platform to recognize, address, and overcome problems created by perceived "otherness". The larger lessons derive from experiencing a profoundly different reality than is normally accessible in terms of both the specific type of experience and the degree of contrast of realities it poses. Such jarring experiences open a brief window for dialogue. Drawing from actor-network theory, various principles and techniques from action research, and from fields such as organizational psychology, visual anthropology, and sociology, this capstone contains workable processes and objectives relevant to both the creation of a Cincinnati based Dialogue in the Dark and the framework for a Coalition for Community Action and Cooperation. These processes and objectives are to be constantly ongoing in development, and are only rudimentary in presentation style. Additionally, this project contains a reflection on both the process of bringing Dialogue in the Dark to Cincinnati thus far, a discussion of post-capstone plans for Dialogue in the Dark, and, in the spirit of demonstrating my BIS inspired work in general, a condensed introduction to my “Theory of Grand Irrationality” and my “Social Pulse Theory”, both of which are central starting points for the grad school experience I am both seeking and planning.

Mathematical Impact of Relative Motion in the Deformation of Time

Type:: Article
Description/Abstract:: El movimiento relativo de un punto respecto de un observador no solo depende de la velocidad relativa del movimiento. La dirección de esta velocidad juega un papel fundamental en la deformación del tiempo. En este estudio, se ha cuantificado el efecto de la dirección sobre el factor de intervalos de tiempo.

Establishing a comprehensive census of undergraduate economics curricula: Foundational and special requirements for major programs in the U.S.

Student Work thumbnail: Establishing a comprehensive census of undergraduate economics curricula: Foundational and special requirements for major programs in the U.S.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Abstract This study is the first of a series of studies, collectively embodying a multiphase mixed methods design. The overall objective of these studies is to explore and address a variety of issues and features of the discipline of economics, particularly as they relate to and represent past present and future factors of globalization, education, citizenship, and society. This is done by collecting and analyzing data on numerous aspects of the undergraduate economics curriculum, economics as a discipline, and economics as applied in the real world. The overall purpose of these studies is to inform ongoing debates concerning the future of the discipline of economics and how it is taught, by examining and creating paradigms and methods that may be of aide. Additionally these studies collectively aim to outline, and in small ways develop, potential technological and organizational solutions for detailed longitudinal curriculum tracking. The frameworks employed and developed in these studies may eventually be scaled and adapted for all sorts of curricula. Ideally, the completion of this study’s overall objective yields practical insights and tools that empower faculty and departments, in economics and eventually in general, to better understand and design their own curriculum. This immediate study fills gaps in and updates data on the curriculum of undergraduate economics majors in U.S. institutions, while also establishing a baseline data set for future studies to build on. A qualitative census methodology is adapted and employed to explore how various institutional and program factors relate to certain types of major program requirements. Descriptive statistics are used for analysis, primarily to allow for comparisons to previous studies. In sum, the purpose of the data collected and analyzed in this census is to give a glimpse into the current state of the undergraduate economics curriculum in the U.S., and to inform the qualitative, quantitative, and transformative studies that are to follow in this multiphase series.
