Nodify XL2 Biomarker Blood Draw Study

Patients will undergo a blood draw for a gene classifier test. Some patients will have their physicians informed of the result, and another group of patients will be randomized to be managed by standard of care. Qualifying patients have incidentally identified lung nodules assessed as < 50% risk of cancer.

George Floyd Square: Resistance, Forced Migration, and Policing in South Minneapolis

I am interested in understanding how George Floyd Square came to be. I am also interested in learning how the South Minneapolis community organizes to resist police violence. This project contributes to decolonization scholarship by theorizing, through the example of South Minneapolis, forced migration and containment as colonial policies that are enforced through policing and that produce literal and social death for racialized Others.

Comparing reading strategies usage of intermediate-level heritage and non-heritage learners of Chinese

Research has shown that effective use of reading strategies contributes to reading comprehension. Thus far, most studies on reading strategy use have been conducted with second language (L2) readers of alphabetic languages such as English. There has been scant research on reading strategy use of Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. Among the limited studies examining reading strategies employed by CSL learners, the majority were focused on advanced learner's reading strategies, and less attention has been devoted to intermediate-level learners. Furthermore, although a small number of studies investigating intermediate-level CLS learners' reading strategy use had both non-heritage and heritage participants, no comparison between the two groups was made. Given the vast differences of the learning profiles of heritage and non-heritage CSL students, it is possible that the reading strategies adopted by the two groups and the learning outcomes could be quite different. This study addresses this gap in literature.

Comparative effectiveness and safety of belatacept among kidney transplant recipients

Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.

Measuring stability, reliability, and robustness of the Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT) over multiple testing sessions

To determine the effect of multiple testing sessions on the performance in an attention task. The lateralized attentional network test (LANT) measures alerting, orienting, and executive control of attention. Six test sessions will be administered to examine stability, robustness, and reliability of the test. This study will be the first to examine if performance of the three attention networks in both hemispheres changes over time using the LANT. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to examine the robustness, reliability, and stability of the three attention networks over repeated testing sessions.
