Black Hole Concept Inventory for University level Introductory Astronomy Students

Students' preconceptions about Black Holes (BHs) have yet to be rigorously documented in an academic capacity, and as such there is currently no universal resource available to inform instructors as to how to best lead instruction on BH's and BH related topics. We hope to create a BH concept survey in order to collect data concerning student preconceptions about BHs and Relativity. This data will be analyzed to determine what topics are most important to address in University level Intro Astronomy courses. This will allow for construction of a BH/Relativity lesson plan that could then be applied at multiple Universities.

Hunter Syndrome (MPS II) Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) Study

Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. This study is evaluating the use of JR-141, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body. This allows for break down of the stored GAGs. JR-141 uses specific technology to cross the blood brain barrier so that the enzyme can get into the brain. JR-141 is expected to help both the cognitive (brain) and body effects of MPS II.

Nasal Swab to Evaluate Lung Cancer Risk

The DNA that we can test from a nasal swab, can help us determine a patient's lung cancer risk. For patients with new lung nodules found on CT scans, we are offering this nasal swab test and collecting data on how physicians use test results to help assess risk and determine treatment strategies.

Low oxygen in pregnant women with sickle cell

The goal of this study is to uncover the frequency of low oxygen levels during sleep in pregnant women that have severe sickle cell disease. These women have a high risk of complications during pregnancy, and low oxygen levels might contribute to the complications. Therefore, finding and treating low oxygen can be impactful. The study will also look at blood cells and assess how low oxygen affects them.

PAUSE- Yoga: An 8-week mindfulness-based yoga intervention for women's sport student-athletes transitioning into college and collegiate sport

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an 8-week yoga mindfulness meditation to identify the relationship between mindfulness yoga and stress, depression, and anxiety. Participants: Forty- four women sports student-athletes ages 18 and over in their first two years of undergraduate study at ACC member universities within a four-hour drive of the home institution. This will allow for the delivery of PAUSE-Yoga materials. Participants will complete a survey prior to the program with demographic information and the following scales: Academic Identity Measurement Scale, Athlete Identity Measurement Scale, Exercise Identity Scale, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, The International Adjustment Disorder Questionnaire, Transition Plan, Subjective Physical and Mental Health, Social Support, and Resource List. Another survey will be administered post-program with the same scales as the pre-program. Eight, 45-minute Zoom yoga sessions will be completed over 8 weeks for the PAUSE- Yoga group.
