Classes will not only be taught on campus, but may also take place at the Fort Pierce Memorial Hospital. The IRSC Nursing program was inaugurated in 1965, in the midst of the Vietnam War. Since women were often associated with nursing careers, this gave them the opportunity to obtain an education and receive a college degree. Summary written by Marie Grandguillotte, in Dr. Carrigan's AMH 2020 H2SL (Honors/Service Learning).

"Library Usage Intensifies Knowledge".
Abstract/Description
According to the Indian River Junior College president Dr. Maxwell King, the IRJC library provides an independent student with an extensive collection of books and information for research or learning. That area was specifically built for individual study because it is unlikely for the average student to retain everything he or she has learned in class. The common day libraries contain information written before any human lifespan, so if any student is curious about the past, the library is a...

That area was specifically built for individual study because it is unlikely for the average student to retain everything he or she has learned in class. The common day libraries contain information written before any human lifespan, so if any student is curious about the past, the library is a great place to obtain knowledge.

The military draft was a point of tension and unrest in the United States during the 1960’s mostly because men were being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War which especially by the late 1960’s was unpopular among the American people. The United States drafted military age men between 1964 and 1973. The draft itself contributed to the unpopularity of the war.

A Study Examining the Impact of Vocabulary Instruction on the Vocabulary Growth and Acquisition of Adults Enrolled in a Community College Developmental Reading Course
Title
A Study Examining the Impact of Vocabulary Instruction on the Vocabulary Growth and Acquisition of Adults Enrolled in a Community College Developmental Reading Course.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of four instructional methods - context clues, definition, elaboration technique, or word parts and word families on the vocabulary growth and acquisition of adults enrolled in a community college developmental reading course. The study investigated whether performance in any or all of the four instructional methods was moderated by age or language. Seventy three respondents participated in the study.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of four instructional methods - context clues, definition, elaboration technique, or word parts and word families on the vocabulary growth and acquisition of adults enrolled in a community college developmental reading course. The study investigated whether performance in any or all of the four instructional methods was moderated by age or language. Seventy three respondents participated in the study. Participants were enrolled in one of five sections of College Reading Preparatory II (REA0002) offered in the Spring of 2009 at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida. All five sections of REA0002 were taught by the same professor, a tenured faculty member, chair of the developmental reading department and Associate Professor of Developmental Reading at Indian River State College. The instruction and tests in all five sections of REA0002 were consistent with the research design which insured continuity and consistency in the use of the four instructional methods. All participants received the same treatment and quizzes. During the course of the study, participants first received a pretest, then the treatment or instruction, followed by an instructional quiz, and a delayed post-test was administered at the end of the study. An analysis of the data, which included the pretest, instructional quizzes with four quizzes independently and then combined for an aggregate score for an immediate post-test, and the delayed post-test, yielded mixed results. The four instructional quizzes independently showed definition instruction to have the highest positive impact on student learning. In a measure of gains from pretest to instructional quizzes immediately after treatment, significant improvement in student learning was found only with word parts instruction. In a measure of performance from pretest to immediate post-test (aggregate score of instructional quizzes) there was a significant gain in students’ vocabulary competence, and from pretest to delayed post-test there was a significant decrement in students’ vocabulary competence. Age and language moderated vocabulary competence. Further tests of equivalency were mixed and should be interpreted cautiously, as there were a very small number of students in the group of 25 years or older and non-native English speakers.

Show moreThrough a series of workshops and incentives faculty will learn the benefits of adopting open educational resources (OER) in their classroom in place of costly publisher provided textbooks. Participants will commit to adopting OER in their course for at least three semesters. Indian River State College librarians know the value of OER having only taught credit courses using OER materials. Furthermore, librarians specialize in collecting, storing, describing, and evaluating information. Knowledge of OER and access to over one million library licensed scholarly materials makes a librarian the best person to implement college-wide, innovative OER adoption. This application was successful in receiving the Gladys Williams Wolf Endowed Teaching Chair in Communications on Monday, April 4, 2016.

Burn Wound Covers, Pretreatments, and Immunological and Microbial Concerns.
Title
Burn Wound Covers, Pretreatments, and Immunological and Microbial Concerns.
Abstract/Description
Surgeons can compare three pre-graft methods for treating burn wounds. When using the split-thickness skin graft procedure, many different wound bed covers can be used. The lack of available donor sites can delay skin grafting. During this time, priming the wound bed is the best chance a patient has for full healing. An excised wound bed, an artificial dermal template, and a granulation tissue induced by cellulose sponge are all methods to prepare the wound for a split-thickness skin graft....

The lack of available donor sites can delay skin grafting. During this time, priming the wound bed is the best chance a patient has for full healing. An excised wound bed, an artificial dermal template, and a granulation tissue induced by cellulose sponge are all methods to prepare the wound for a split-thickness skin graft. All three wound bed covers are easy to apply and can be placed on bones and deep wounds, often without pain. Achieving reduced scar formation begins with a well-primed wound bed that can significantly improve the outcome of skin replacement.

Human Leukocyte Antigens and Their Correlation to Disease
Title
Human Leukocyte Antigens and Their Correlation to Disease.
Abstract/Description
Lack of information on unique diseases has led to research on human components associated with disease defense such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This genetic complex produces three classes of MHC receptors in humans, MHC/HLA I, II, and III, located on the cell membrane. MHC is a highly polymorphic gene complex with high linkage disequilibrium. Molecular changes and mutations on units of the MHC increase susceptibility for...
Show moreLack of information on unique diseases has led to research on human components associated with disease defense such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This genetic complex produces three classes of MHC receptors in humans, MHC/HLA I, II, and III, located on the cell membrane. MHC is a highly polymorphic gene complex with high linkage disequilibrium. Molecular changes and mutations on units of the MHC increase susceptibility for disease. These findings led to procedures which purposely induced changes on the MHC to prove its association with disease susceptibility. Analyzing and sequencing the genome of the HLA gene region is an important part of understanding the MCH, but sequencing can be difficult due to its high polymorphism trait. These issues led to faster, more efficient, and cheaper methods for sequencing not just the HLA but any gene region. Technology such as mass spectrometry is also facilitating characterization of HLAs, and finding disease correlations. With these advances in technology, a source for various diseases can be found.
