The purpose of this study is to create and test a behavioral measure of relationship-focused obsessive-compulsive (ROC) symptoms and to learn more about the distress associated with (and coping skills for) unwanted negative thoughts about one's relationship.
We are doing a study to learn about the beliefs current and former cigarillo users have about smoking and quitting cigarillos.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the level of community engagement in wind energy developments in the European Arctic, with a focus on the involvement of Indigenous communities, such as the Sámi people. The study aims to understand the factors driving community engagement and the extent to which justice considerations are integrated within the energy transition process.
The purpose of this study is to gather information about how disruptions in school bus services affect children and families.
To study intellectual humility and its development across the lifespan.
This project explores the stories and narratives about how gardening and communing in a shared space (ex: community gardens) can enrich communal care, resistance, and joy.
Some patients are not able to urinate on their own right after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse so they have to go home with a catheter in their bladders. We want to know if it is safe and effective for them to remove their catheters the day after surgery instead of three days after surgery. If this is effective, they might have lower risk of bladder infection and higher satisfaction after surgery.
There are 3 primary aims of this study: 1) Observe the status of individuals, of all age, sports, activities, on key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control when the reach different return to activity milestones following an ankle sprain as determined by themselves, parents, and/or medical provider. 2) To develop a normative database of scores for the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control for individuals of all ages, sports, and activities to help individuals determine if / how well they have recovered from their ankle sprain. 3) Determine if the key patient reported outcomes and measures of neuromuscular control can predict risk of reinjury when individuals, of all ages, sports, activities, return to sport following an ankle sprain.
Machine learning is a powerful tool for solving problems that involve a lot of data. It is being used in many different fields. The first step in creating a machine learning system is to understand what you want to achieve and then turn that goal into a plan for using machine learning. This is called problem formulation. Problem formulation is important because it not only helps you understand what you want to achieve but also helps you figure out if you have the right data to make it work. Practitioners need to try different approaches and see what works best for their data. This can take some trial and error. This study looks at a new tool designed to make problem formulation easier and see if it helps practitioners.
A case study of ten biomedical engineering programs in which two universities collaborate on at least a Ph.D. degree. The intent is to identify circumstances that lead to successful inter-university collaboration as measured by research output, including publications and patents, along with patent citations.
