This research aims to explore the influence of diverse narrative formats on adult learners' attitudes towards postsecondary education. It addresses the critical need to engage adult learners in higher education marketing efforts. The study will involve two focus groups with adult learners currently enrolled at Cape Fear Community College. Participants will be shown different narrative formats, including web-based text stories and videos, followed by guided discussions. The goal is to understand how these formats impact factors such as attention, identification, social proof, and emotion.

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which librarians perceive their job as a calling, and how it connects to their motivation and satisfaction in their work.

We are interviewing businesses and local law enforcement to learn about practices around checking customer identification for alcohol sales. Additionally, we are providing age verification technology to businesses to prevent the sale of alcohol to underage customers.

Recording brain signals while people learn changing information to see how brain signals differ when people notice that information has changed compared to when people do not notice that information has changed. This will help us understand how memory works in the brain.

To determine in a randomized manner whether the addition of levocarnitine prophylaxis to asparaginase-containing regimens will decrease the incidence of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (>3 mg/dL) during ALL induction therapy in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, age 15-39 years).

To learn more about a condition called microscopic colitis which can cause chronic diarrhea

We want to understand the basis of the symptoms of psychosis in the brain and use imaging to predict them. The purpose of the study is to develop future treatments that target the particular symptoms that the patients present.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades despite numerous attempts to augment standard therapies. Multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs), such as cabozantinib, can target signaling pathways that are known to be altered in osteosarcoma. Several MTKIs including cabozantinib have recently shown clinical evidence of activity in prospective studies for both pediatric and adult patients with advanced osteosarcoma. Furthermore, feasibility of administering MTKIs in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy has previously been shown in patients with AML, hepatocellular carcinoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.
