The purpose of this study is to see whether people living with HIV who gained a significant amount of weight after starting an antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen that included an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) in combination with tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) or tenofovir alafenamide/lamivudine (TAF/3TC) could gain less weight, or might lose weight, after an ART regimen switch. The study will also assess if a switch in ART leads to differences in metabolic conditions (how the body stores and uses energy), cardiovascular health (the heart and blood vessels), and bone health.
According to the upper echelon's theory, "organizational outcomes-both strategies and effectiveness - are viewed as reflections of the values and cognitive bases of powerful actors in the organization" (Hambrick & Mason, 1984, p. 193). Several scholars have suggested that gender is an important characteristic that needs more focus in upper echelon research (e.g., Carpenter, Geletkanycz, & Sanders, 2004). Heeding this call, we investigate how the gender of those in the upper echelons, namely CEOs, impacts a firm's environmental strategy. On average, women are more likely to express concern for the environment and express a stronger commitment to environmental sustainability compared to men. It is possible that such gender differences in environmental concern may carry over to firm level.

I am trying to develop a better understanding of what environmental factors influence the development of a college soccer player within the environment under investigation. My goal is to inform researchers and practitioners in how to create an environment that increases the effectiveness of the environment in maximizing a player's potential. This study assumes that certain environments are better in developing senior elite-level athletes than others. My goal is to identify practices that facilitate the development in the successful environment under investigation and help inform less successful programs how to increase the effectiveness of their environment.
