    Conversation is at democracy’s core. In this dissertation, I examine citizens’ political discussion networks and their effects on democratic competence, meaning what citizens know about and how they interact with their political systems. I investigate how patterns of discussion and discussion’s impacts vary across the world, paying particular attention to Brazil. Data come from panel studies spanning Brazil’s 2002, 2006, and 2010 presidential elections, as well as a case study of the 2008 local elections; and from an eleven country study in the 1990s. I address three broad research questions. First, does political discussion affect democratic competence, and for whom? While the claim that political discussion has democratic benefits is common, selection effects make demonstrating causal claims difficult, since politically knowledgeable and engaged citizens are likely to choose to discuss politics. Using fixed effects and instrumental variables models, I find strong evidence that conversation promotes knowledge and participation, and that it has a “leveling effect,” helping citizens with lowest initial knowledge catch up with their neighbors. Moreover, spouses are particularly influential, and women give higher priority to spouses as their closest political discussants. Second, how does knowing people with different political opinions affect democratic competence? The key to solving longstanding debates requires recognizing that divergent preferences take two forms—the total preferences in the network (diversity) and the extent of disagreement with the reference person (conflict). Using multilevel models, I find that in systems with low numbers of candidates, conflict is demobilizing, but only when the network homogeneously disagrees with the reference person. Moreover, conflict combined with diversity promotes learning. In systems with more candidates, however, the effects of conflict disappear. Third, how do the electoral and party systems shape networks? And what are the downstream consequences for democratic competence? The number of candidates in a political system strongly affects exposure to diverse and conflicting preferences as well as the probability of knowing candidates and activists. I estimate that three-quarters of respondents in the local election I study in Brazil knew personally a candidate; using matching, I find that such connections promoted political engagement, but also fostered clientelism

    poster abstractIntroduction: Indiana is one of the remaining states that requires by state law a referral to initiate treatment by a licensed physical therapist (PT) and therefore does not allow consumers direct access to physical therapy services. In 2009, the Indiana Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and Indiana University jointly funded a study to investigate the opinions of licensed physical therapists on direct access to physical therapy services. Purpose: The study investigated physical therapists opinions residing in the state of Indiana on four main issues: Direct access—desire for and willingness to achieve Scope of care—differential diagnosis and clinical skills Liability—perceived impact of direct access Manipulation practices—competence and confidence Methods: The researchers used an online program, SurveyMonkey©, to design an 18-question survey. The sample was recruited via a mailing list from the Indiana State Board of Health which included all the licensed physical therapists within the state of Indiana. A letter explaining the purpose of the study including a hyperlink to the survey and a hard copy of the survey was mailed to 3,350 physical therapists. The survey respondents could either choose to complete the survey online via the hyperlink or on the hard copy provided and return via a provided selfaddressed stamped envelope for survey return. Results: There were 1,379 respondents which accounted for a 42% return rate. APTA membership was analyzed with 39.5% of the respondents being APTA members and the remaining 60.5% being non-members. The collective responses to specific questions were reported by a five-level Likert response scale. The majority of respondents want direct access in the state of Indiana, with the average response being 4.13/5.00. However, proportionately the willingness of respondents to be actively involved is much lower, with the average response being 3.23/5.00. The majority (61%) believed their liability would increase with direct access. The terminal degrees for the respondents surveyed were varied with the majority, 48.6%, holding a Bachelor’s degree. The responses of participants were significantly influenced by their degree/level of training with higher levels of training being consistently associated with more favorable attitudes to direct access issues. Discussion /Clinical Relevance: The high return rate and passionate responses confirm these issues are important to PT’s practicing in Indiana and the majority of those surveyed are in favor of direct access to physical therapy services without compromise of the current scope of care. The results of this study may have implications for health policy regarding direct access to physical therapy services within the state of Indiana. In particular to help redirect efforts toward dispelling myths, promoting grassroots efforts and encouraging teamwork in our peers

    Saliva urea nitrogen dipsticks to predict acute kidney injury in Malawian trauma patients

    Background: Many low-resource settings have limited access to serum creatinine tests necessary for kidney disease identification. Among Malawian patients who are hospitalized after trauma, we evaluated the use of point-of-care saliva urea nitrogen (SUN) dipsticks to predict acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods: In a nested prospective cohort study, we enrolled hospitalized acute trauma patients aged ≥6 months to evaluate AKI (defined by KDIGO criteria) and the test characteristics of SUN to predict AKI. Results: Among 335 participants (approximately three-quarters able to expectorate and 34% aged ≤18 years), 12.5% (n = 42) developed AKI. At a SUN threshold of ≥40 mg/dL, a positive dipstick test was specific (99.3%) but insensitive (14.3%) in predicting AKI, with a positive predictive value of 75% and negative predictive value of 89%. At this threshold, 2.4% of participants were dipstick-positive (SUN+), and 75% of those had AKI. Reducing the SUN threshold to ≥30 mg/dL increased participants who were SUN+ to 5.0% (n = 16) but also increased the false positive rate and missed 79% (n = 33) of AKI cases. Stratified results showed better performance among adults than children and similar results when comparing participants who could and could not expectorate. There was moderate correlation between categorized BUN values and SUN (r = 0.53) but less agreement (weighted kappa 0.27; 95% CI 0.17–0.37). Conclusions: SUN dipstick testing has good specificity and negative predictive value for ruling out AKI, but poor sensitivity. We found similar results among those who could or could not expectorate a saliva sample

    The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) provides life-saving humanitarian aid for 5·4 million Palestine refugees now entering their eighth decade of statelessness and conflict. About a third of Palestine refugees still live in 58 recognised camps. UNRWA operates 702 schools and 144 health centres, some of which are affected by the ongoing humanitarian disasters in Syria and the Gaza Strip. It has dramatically reduced the prevalence of infectious diseases, mortality, and illiteracy. Its social services include rebuilding infrastructure and homes that have been destroyed by conflict and providing cash assistance and micro-finance loans for Palestinians whose rights are curtailed and who are denied the right of return to their homeland

    Coronavirus susceptibility to the antiviral remdesivir (GS-5734) is mediated by the viral polymerase and the proofreading exoribonuclease

    Emerging coronaviruses (CoVs) cause severe disease in humans, but no approved therapeutics are available. The CoV nsp14 exoribonuclease (ExoN) has complicated development of antiviral nucleosides due to its proofreading activity. We recently reported that the nucleoside analogue GS-5734 (remdesivir) potently inhibits human and zoonotic CoVs in vitro and in a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) mouse model. However, studies with GS-5734 have not reported resistance associated with GS-5734, nor do we understand the action of GS- 5734 in wild-type (WT) proofreading CoVs. Here, we show that GS-5734 inhibits murine hepatitis virus (MHV) with similar 50% effective concentration values (EC50) as SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Passage of WT MHV in the presence of the GS-5734 parent nucleoside selected two mutations in the nsp12 polymerase at residues conserved across all CoVs that conferred up to 5.6-fold resistance to GS-5734, as determined by EC50. The resistant viruses were unable to compete with WT in direct coinfection passage in the absence of GS-5734. Introduction of the MHV resistance mutations into SARS-CoV resulted in the same in vitro resistance phenotype and attenuated SARS-CoV pathogenesis in a mouse model. Finally, we demonstrate that an MHV mutant lacking ExoN proofreading was significantly more sensitive to GS-5734. Combined, the results indicate that GS-5734 interferes with the nsp12 polymerase even in the setting of intact ExoN proofreading activity and that resistance can be overcome with increased, nontoxic concentrations of GS-5734, further supporting the development of GS-5734 as a broad-spectrum therapeutic to protect against contemporary and emerging CoVs. IMPORTANCE Coronaviruses (CoVs) cause severe human infections, but there are no approved antivirals to treat these infections. Development of nucleoside-based therapeutics for CoV infections has been hampered by the presence of a proofreading exoribonuclease. Here, we expand the known efficacy of the nucleotide prodrug remdesivir (GS-5734) to include a group β-2a CoV. Further, GS-5734 potently inhibits CoVs with intact proofreading. Following selection with the GS-5734 parent nucleoside, 2 amino acid substitutions in the nsp12 polymerase at residues that are identical across CoVs provide low-level resistance to GS-5734. The resistance mutations decrease viral fitness of MHV in vitro and attenuate pathogenesis in a SARS-CoV animal model of infection. Together, these studies define the target of GS-5734 activity and demonstrate that resistance is difficult to select, only partial, and impairs fitness and virulence of MHV and SARS-CoV, supporting further development of GS-5734 as a potential effective pan-CoV antiviral
