Molecular HIV surveillance is a promising public health strategy for curbing the epidemic. Clustering technologies used by departments to date are limited in their ability infer/forecast cluster growth trajectories. Resolution of spatiotemporal dynamics clusters, through phylodynamic and phylogeographic modelling, one potential develop forecasting tool; however, projected utility this approach needs assessment. Prior incorporating novel phylodynamic-based molecular tools, we sought identify...
With more classrooms within higher education mobilizing strategies for internationalization, collaborative online international learning (COIL), also referred to as virtual exchange, is an effective approach at offering intercultural competence through experiential learning. This strategy provides students who face barriers travel the opportunity engage with from other countries in meaningful ways, while enhancing and reinforcing course content.

The deployment of autonomous shuttles (ASs) holds health and safety benefits for people with without disabilities. Transportation is critical in helping disabilities (PWDs) access care, services, jobs, but the current transportation system has not afforded them ubiquitous access. To understand acceptance ASs, we (1) quantified PWDs’ (N = 42) perceptions before after riding an AS (Level 4) (2) developed a model facilitators barriers from 143 participants. For Objective 1, AS, PWDs (n...

Veterans face difficulties accessing vital health and community services, especially in rural areas. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can revolutionize transportation by enhancing access, safety efficiency. Yet, there is limited knowledge about how perceive AVs. This study fills this gap assessing Veterans' AV perceptions before after exposure to an autonomous shuttle (AS). Using a multi-method approach, 23 participants completed pre- post-AS Vehicle User Perception Survey (AVUPS), with 10...
