The purpose of this study is to identify accessibility concerns at UNC Chapel Hill and learn how physically disabled students are impacted by inaccessible spaces. Disabled students have historically faced obstacles in navigating the campus to do the same activities that able-bodies students take part in daily. By exploring the priority that the institution places on making certain buildings accessible, this study can serve as a guide for identifying further accessibility measures that must be implemented on campus.

This project will focus on industry thought leaders on social media and their potential to create cultural change, especially with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thought leaders in the diversity and inclusion space on LinkedIn use their platform to address social issues related to DEI, but there is not a lot of research that has examined this aspect. To fill this gap, this study will propose interviewing thought leaders who regularly post about diversity topics on LinkedIn to gather information on their posts.

To understand how participation in a long-duration professional development program influenced: (a) participants' knowledge, skills, self-efficacy for teaching STEM outdoors and (b) their STEM learning ecosystems.

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.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of the addition of universal donor, expanded NK cells to gemcitabine/docetaxel for treatment of relapsed and refractory sarcomas.

To evaluate safety and efficacy of therapeutic vaccination with chimpanzee adenovirus (ChAdV)- and poxvirus modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored vaccines in a sequential regimen with the Toll-like Receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist vesatolimod (VES) and two broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) in individuals with HIV-1 who started suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) during acute HIV-1.

To address the core problem of insufficient safe blood supply for the country, targeting the lowest risk and most receptive population for consistent donation can be successful. The 2018 population census shows that the total population aged 15 to 24 is 3,687,521 out of which 1,905,165 (52%) are males and 17% (645,000/ 3,687,521) live in urban areas clearly showing the large blood donation potential for the country (National Statistical Office, 2019). The two studies conducted in the initial Year 1 and Year 2 of the Malawi BLOODSAFE Project (2020-2022) have provided rich information on temporal and geographical patterns of blood donation and transfusion transmissible infection as well as barriers and facilitators to blood donation. Using this information, we now propose to develop a comprehensive integrated school-based and post-school donation clubs to serve as a foundation that will encourage lifelong donation and improve the supply of safe blood in Malawi.

This study aims to understand how individuals with stroke participate in the community in Southwestern China. Also, this study explores the barriers and facilitators of participating in the community for individuals with stroke in Southwestern China.

I am examining the history, formation, and impact of the weight-inclusive wellness industry in North Carolina's Research Triangle to understand how fat people interact with these spaces, what kinds of community are formed in these spaces, and whether these spaces foster a particular kind of body politics.

This study seeks to understand how public health leaders and more fully take into account the influence of American Individualism on public health practice. The values and ethics of public health as a discipline is at odds with the powerful and prominent cultural narrative of American Individualism. This misalignment is weakens the population level aim of public health and prioritizes individual freedom and ideas above the needs of the whole public. But American Individualism is normalized and permanent part of how Americans understand the world. Public health leaders must better engage, communicate, and act within the context of American Individualism, even though it does not align with there approach to health and health improvement.
