The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to explore the association between self-reported concussion history and prevalence of self-reported lower extremity injury among lacrosse and ice hockey athletes with and without a concussion history and 2) to evaluate if sex is an effect modifier for the association between previous concussion and lower extremity injury. We will utilize an online survey including pre-validating injury history questionnaires (1,2) to conduct a descriptive epidemiological study. These data can be used to better understand the association between concussion history and lower extremity injury while considering sex as an effect modifier.
We are conducting a research study to explore the effects of memory load on the initial capture and hold of attention.
The purpose of this mixed-methods case study is to examine how teachers at a middle school perceive and experience the implementation of multiple simultaneous initiatives at their school.
Decisions regarding Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and Do Not Intubate (DNI) orders following suicide attempts present a complex intersection of ethical, clinical, and legal considerations. While patient autonomy is a cornerstone of medical ethics, its application in cases of attempted suicide, particularly when patients may be experiencing acute psychiatric distress, raises significant questions about capacity, intent, and the role of medical professionals in preserving life. Yet there is a lack of empirical research on best practices for navigating DNR/DNI decisions in this context. This pilot study aims to explore how ethics consultants, psychiatrists, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) clinicians approach DNR/DNI orders after suicide attempts. This project will identify the core ethical and clinical tensions surrounding DNR/DNI decisions after suicide attempts. It will also generate realworld insights to inform the development of empirically grounded best practice guidelines to support ethically sound and clinically appropriate decision-making in these complex situations.
The purpose of the NC Registry for Brain Health is to establish a mailing list of people who are interested in learning about ongoing research studies in North Carolina that are designed to improve brain health and prevent conditions such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Anyone interested in learning more about this ongoing research or to get involved in these types of studies, now or in the future, may join the NC Registry for Brain Health. Joining is easy and free! You must be 18 years of age or older to register. People with and without memory disorders are welcome.
The purpose of this research project is to investigate how different global approaches to regulating Artificial Intelligence have resulted in compliance challenges for multinational corporations. Through a case study of a leading multinational insurer, this thesis will provide insight into some of the compliance challenges associated with conducting business across multiple states with diverging regulatory landscapes. The goal of this research is to understand the sentiments and lived-challenges of professionals tasked with implementing AI compliance strategies, providing key insights into how regulation is actually translated into corporate strategy and how potential solutions could be divised to support other companies during this digital transition.
The aim of this study for low and standard risk germ cell tumor (GCT) patients is to minimize toxicity by reducing therapy while maintaining current survival rates. The trial will eliminate chemotherapy for low risk patients who are likely cured with surgery and will observe the salvage rates among those who recur.
This study is being conducted for research purposes to understand employee reactions to their immediate supervisor's behavior. We will ask you to recall a specific behavior that your supervisor engaged in within the last 6 months and write about this experience. You will then answer questions about your personality, perceptions, and behaviors related to the situation you recalled.
The purpose of this study is to understand the performance levels of students' responses in text-based discussion board posts compared to orated discussion board posts, in which students speak to an AI tool. As AI is increasingly used by instructors and students, this study will allow for comparison to be made between those two modalities based on student performance and preference.
This study will pilot test a social-emotional (SE) intervention module for early childhood education (ECE) programs to determine its feasibility, acceptability, and impact on preschool expulsion risk.
