Throughout Latin America, public security is an increasingly important issue due to growing concerns regarding drug trafficking, organized crime, homicides, and violence. While much of the research on the topic focuses on citizens' support for hard-on-crime policing and politicians' subsequent enactment of such policies, scholars have not studied the responses of the innocent people who become unintended victims of these policies through government-sponsored violence. How do these people seek to hold the state accountable for the negative consequences of hard-on-crime policies? Which policies do they seek to advance? With which other civil society actors and policymakers do they ally and why? Most importantly, when are they successful in shaping public security policy? In this research project, I focus on the organized resistance against police brutality in Brazil's urban areas, especially in the poorer regions known as favelas.
The goal of this study is to develop new ways of figuring out which children with acute respiratory illnesses (like cough, cold, or flu) would benefit from antibiotic treatment. To do this, we will evaluate different combinations of vital signs, symptoms, results from tests for infections that cause respiratory illness, and measurement of the body's immune response to see which ones best predict the presence of infection that requires antibiotic treatment.
This study compares two different surgical tubes and post-op ointments as treatment for one type of glaucoma, an ocular disorder in which the pressure inside the eye is too high.
This research will look at the way colleges and universities use public podcasts to engage with the public. The podcasts in review are specifically ones that are produced by a central communications or marketing office. The research will help inform general standards for college- and university-produced podcasts, to better understand their purpose and success on the school's larger communications strategies.
The goal of this project is to develop an OSCE to evaluate the education that anesthesiology resident physicians receive as part of their first (of two) regional anesthesia rotations. The exam will test resident knowledge and skills of regional anesthesiology and assess competency with the main regional anesthesiology blocks outlined in the ABA content outline for resident training. This will provide valuable feedback for the participant about their gaps of knowledge and allow the regional anesthesiology division of the UNC Department of Anesthesiology to assess resident educational curriculum and address any topics that need to be emphasized.
The purpose of the study is to capture the time course of patient-reported improvement with VDZ or UST from baseline to Week 52 (end of study).
Specific Aim 1: Identify standardized and validated quality of life values among patients undergoing surgical management of BPH Specific Aim 2: Identify the prevalence and severity of financial toxicity among patients undergoing surgical management of BPH Specific Aim 3: Characterize subjective patient priorities regarding procedure characteristics and the impact of these on patient clinical decision making.
We would like to receive advice on the design of a research trial from people who have used the service we will be studying before.
