This experiment will seeks to understand role media messages from military authority figures play in increasing a servicemember's efficacy, and whether the use of different types of authority figures matter and affect a servicemember/veteran's self and response efficacy beliefs about utilizing the military mental health system
Academic libraries have always needed to be responsive to changes in emerging technology over time. Adopting or integrating new library technologies requires librarians to acquire and develop proficiency in new skills. In recent decades as academic libraries have continued to become ever more digitized, this has resulted in a growing need for librarians to gain new technological skills. This qualitative study will use focus groups of academic librarians to explore what current technological shifts academic librarians are experiencing, what skills are most needed to navigate those changes, and how academic librarians are gaining those new skills. This study aims to gain insight into current factors impacting technology in academic library contexts like the continued impacts of Covid-19 and AI, factors unaccounted for in the existing literature. The results of this study will be of interest to current and future academic librarians, library administrators, and LIS educators.
This study aims to understand how archaeologists keep records of their discoveries and artifacts. The goal is to discover the best ways to teach archaeologists about organizing and saving information relevant to their excavations. The study considers examples from the past and present and will rely on discussions with specialists and the analysis of the "Work Digital / Think Archive" guidebook made jointly by DigVentures and the Archaeological Archives Forum. The goal is to spread the word about the efforts happening now to set up the best frameworks and workflows for archaeologists to handle their digital data and create intentional standards for preserving their findings.
We are studying a patient's own opinion of their scar and the symptoms that their scar causes them alongside photographs of the scar to assess wound healing.
The purpose of this research study is to explore the ways in which Family Moral, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR) libraries achieve the mission of MWR services by examining libraries in context of creating resiliency in their member communities through their diverse library programs and services. Library programs are currently a popular research field in Information and Library Science (ILS), but little research has looked explicitly at MWR library programming, and how those programs are created for their user community, the military population, making this topic an area of interest in the ILS field. Understanding how MWR libraries utilize their programming to meet the mission of MWR will create opportunities for future research and assessment of library programs and their impact on resiliency outcomes in the military community.
The purpose of this research study is to explore the post-treatment barriers faced by adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors to therefore adapt the Needs Assessment and Service Bridge (NA-SB) tool produced by the UNC AYA Cancer Program. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are an adolescent or young adult who has experienced cancer survivorship.
Interviews are being conducted to establish a set of criteria for gauging the success or failure of corporate rebranding campaigns.
This project helps UNC Health support the health and happiness of people in North Carolina by growing local businesses and sharing wealth.

The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.
This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)
