essentiALZ - Evaluating a Training Program to Strength the Dementia Care Workforce

This project will evaluate two training models of an evidence-based online dementia care training for direct care staff in assisted living. It will examine the extent to which each training is able to be implemented by assisted living communities, and to the extent the trainings improve staff knowledge and attitudes, change care practices, and improve the wellbeing of staff, residents, and residents' family members. Results will inform next steps in dementia care training for the assisted living and broader long-term care workforce.

TikTok Biology.UNC

The TikTok Biology.UNC study is an educational study to assess students' views of the importance of science communication to the general public through a social media platform. Students enrolled in BIOL 101H.001 or BIOL 205.007 in the fall of 2021 will be creating TikTok videos as a required class assignment. Students will be asked to respond to surveys at the start and end of the semester, as well as after submission of each TikTok assignment, to gauge their views on the importance of communicating science to the general public.

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

Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) or Hunter syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduoronate-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 will evaluate the long-term use of DNL310, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body and to break down the stored GAGs. DNL310 uses specific technology to cross the blood brain barrier so that the enzyme can get into the brain. DNL310 is expected to help both the cognitive (brain) and body effects of MPS II. This is an extension study to two current DNL310 clinical trials; only participants currently enrolled in these trials will have the opportunity to participate in this long-term study.

Cozie: Assessing Individual Thermal Comfort in Urban Environments

Cities are hot during daytime in summer time - much hotter than their surrounding vegetated, often forested rural areas. This effect, the Urban Heat Island Effect, is determined by building materials, human activity, and urban vegetation. But how does it affect individual thermal comfort? We are interested in understanding relationships between temperature and thermal comfort in urban areas.
