Which Policies Are Rewarded: Explaining The Distribution Of U.S. Foreign Aid After The End Of The Cold War, Yury V. Bosin

Political Science ETDs

The goal of this study is to elucidate what drives the distribution of U.S. foreign assistance. Why do some states receive more than others? Does the U.S. use aid to reward certain good' policies? Can a regime pursue such policies to secure more U.S. funding? I answer these questions by examining patterns of aid distribution of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Millennium Challenge Corporation. I find that USAID assistance is driven primarily by strategic interests, while the MCC is more oriented towards the recipient needs. To assess the effects of various democratic policies on the distribution of …

"Sed Neque Silentio Pretereundum": An Analysis Of The Miracles Of Saint William Of Norwich, Sarah Rose Edwards Obenauf

History ETDs

William of Norwich was born around 1132, and, according to his biographer Thomas of Monmouth, he was killed by Jews during Easter week of 1144. Consequently, whenever William is mentioned in modern scholarship, it is almost always in relation to Jewish ritual murder and the blood libel legend. To date, no scholarship has systematically categorized or analyzed the miracles and visions contained in The Life and Passion of William of Norwich nor discussed what these stories suggest about the pilgrims who visited his tomb. Using disability theory, this thesis analyzes eighty medical miracles performed by the boy saint. I begin …

Neyman Smooth-Type Goodness Of Fit Tests In Complex Surveys, Lang Zhou

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

In our study, we have extended the Neyman smooth-type goodness of fit tests by Eubank (1997) from simple random sample to complex surveys (Methodologies have been provided for complex surveys, and theorems have been provided only for stratified random samples.) by incorporating consistent estimators under the survey design, which is accomplished by a data-driven nonparametric order selection method. Simulation results show that these proposed methods potentially improve the statistical power while controlling the type I error very well compared to those commonly used existing test procedures, especially for the cases with slow-varying probabilities. We also derived the large sample properties …

Impact Of A Videoconference Educational Intervention On Physical Restraint And Antipsychotic Use In Nursing Homes: Results From The Echo-Age Pilot Study, Stephen E. Gordon, Alyssa B. Dufour, Sara M. Monti, Melissa L P Mattison, Angela G. Catic, Cindy P. Thomas, Lewis A. Lipsitz

Project ECHO Bibliography

OBJECTIVES: US nursing homes care for increasing numbers of residents with dementia and associated behavioral problems. They often lack access to specialized clinical expertise relevant to managing these problems. Project ECHO-AGE provides this expertise through videoconference sessions between frontline nursing home staff and clinical experts at an academic medical center. We hypothesized that ECHO-AGE would result in less use of physical and chemical restraints and other quality improvements in participating facilities.

DESIGN: A 2:1 matched-cohort study comparing quality of care outcomes between ECHO-AGE facilities and matched controls for the period July 2012 to December 2013.

SETTING: Eleven nursing homes in …
