Successes In Antiviral Drug Discovery: A Tribute To Nick Meanwell, David P. Rotella

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Drug discovery is a difficult task, and is even more challenging when the target evolves during therapy. Antiviral drug therapy is an excellent example, exemplified by the evolution of therapeutic approaches for treatment of hepatitis C and HIV-1. Nick Meanwell and his colleagues made important contributions leading to molecules for treatment of hepatitis C and HIV-1, each with distinct mechanisms of action. This review summarizes the discovery and impact of these drugs, and will highlight, where applicable, the broader contributions of these discoveries to medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.

Self-Efficacy With Telehealth Examination: The Doctor Of Physical Therapy Student Perspective, Derrick F. Campbell, Jean-Michel Brismee, Brad Allen, Troy L. Hooper, Manuel A. Domenech, Kathleen J. Manella

HPD Articles

Introduction: The shift to telehealth exposed gaps in our understanding of how physical therapy students perceive patient assessment in a remote situation using the examination component of the patient/client management (PCM) model. The purpose of the study was to compare Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students’ self-efficacy performing patient assessment using the examination component of the PCM model using telehealth compared with conventional examination. To achieve the purpose of this study, the Physical Therapist Self-Efficacy (PTSE) scale was used. More specifically, self-efficacy in clinical reasoning was measured using the following items: (1) PTSE total score (2) performance of tests …

The Use Of Two Nurses, Four Eyes On Skin Assessments To Reduce The Incidence Of Pressure Injuries In Medical-Surgical Patients, Tiffany Bass

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) adversely affect at-risk patient populations and hospital settings. HAPIs increase the risk of death in vulnerable patient populations (Wassel et al., 2020). In addition, HAPIs cost healthcare agencies $9 to $11 billion annually (Padula & Pronovost, 2018). Inconsistent completion and documentation of the patient’s skin assessments both upon admission and daily throughout their hospital stay are identified barriers to improving patient outcomes. Implementing a Two Nurses, Four Eyes on Skin Assessment model upon admission and daily during the patient’s stay will decrease the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries.

Purpose: The purpose of this Doctor of …

Alternative Sources Of Financing And The Sustainability Of Cameroonian Start-Ups, Félix Zogning, Mireille Bityé, Massoussi Ma Goued Samuel Emile

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The objective of the paper is to assess the contribution of alternative sources of financing to the survival of SMIs through an analysis of start-ups in Cameroon. Our study employs a qualitative multisite case study methodology. Data was collected from both documentary and primary sources. For the primary data, we conducted semidirected interviews with five start-ups operating in four fields of activity (agriculture, health, finance and ICTs) to assess in depth the behaviour of various promoters who have received alternative financing at least once. The results of our manual and automated analysis led to two major findings: firstly, it is …

Examining The Impact Of Stress And Fear Of Covid-19 On Transit Travel, Mark Burris, Alexander Brown, Hardik Gupta, Jasper Wang, Kartikeya Jha, Michael Walk, Alberto M. Figueroa-Medina, Daniel Rodríguez-Román, Carlos Del Valle-González, Luis Nieves-Díaz, Janilet Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Adel Del Valle-Pérez, Marianna Defendini

Research Reports

The COVID-19 pandemic initially caused a significant decrease in travel. Whereas highway travel rebounded quickly, transit use has not fully returned and may not fully return in the short or medium term. This report discusses the results from a survey of travelers' stated use of transit before, during, and after the pandemic, focusing on identifying factors associated with the change in transit use, including stress and fear of COVID-19. The study included data collection in three experiment phases. In the first phase of data collection, the survey was distributed via several online platforms while the data for the second phase …

Germaneness And Religious Liberty, Michael P. Moreland

Notre Dame Law Review Reflection

One problem posed by a symposium on the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions and religious liberty is that it turns out there is not much actual doctrine in the area. The leading law and religion casebook contains only three references—each a passing mention—to unconstitutional conditions, characterizing Sherbert v. Verner as an unconstitutional conditions case and noting the relevance of unconstitutional conditions to the recent Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer to Carson v. Makin line of funding cases. And so while the issue of unconstitutional conditions has been a topic in constitutional law more generally and is widely regarded …

The Sunnyside Movement Towards Mental Health Prevention And Resiliency, Eva Williams

Selected Social Change Portfolios in Prevention, Intervention, and Consultation

Goal Statement: To increase Mental Health awareness and resources among adults with untreated mental disorders in the Sunnyside community (Understanding Houston, 2023).

Significant Findings: 18,6004 residents reside in Sunnyside. Nearly half (48%) were between 20 and 64 years of age, 18% were 65 or older, and many out of this group have untreated mental disorders or have been hospitalized for mental health symptoms (Sunnyside Survey Shows Neighborhood's Social Fabric Is Strong, 2019). These findings include the LGBTQ community, which accounts for about 40% of people who reported experiencing mental illness in the last year (Kolanek, 2020). The target problem in …

Selected Social Change Portfolios in Prevention, Intervention, and Consultation

Goal Statement: My goal for my social change portfolio is to bring heightened awareness to my community through proper training, education, and community involvement to increase the prevention of human trafficking in Orlando, Florida.

Significant Findings: Human Trafficking has become a $150 billion industry globally (Toney-Butler et al., 2023). It has become a type of pandemic that either no one seems to be talking about or gets overlooked. Florida is listed as one (1) of the top three (3) states following California and New York where human trafficking is prevalent (Human Trafficking Hotline, 2021). Women and young girls typically come …

How To Combine Probabilistic And Fuzzy Uncertainty: Theoretical Explanation Of Clustering-Related Empirical Result, Lázló Szilágyi, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In contrast to crisp clustering techniques that assign each object to a class, fuzzy clustering algorithms assign, to each object and to each class, a degree to which this object belongs to this class. In the most widely used fuzzy clustering algorithm -- fuzzy c-means -- for each object, degrees corresponding to different classes add up to 1. From this viewpoint, these degrees act as probabilities. There exist alternative fuzzy-based clustering techniques in which, in line with the general idea of the fuzzy set, the largest of the degrees is equal to 1. In some practical situations, the probability-type fuzzy …

Fuzzy Techniques Explain The Effectiveness Of Relu Activation Function In Deep Learning, Julio C. Urenda, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In the last decades, deep learning has led to spectacular successes. One of the reasons for these successes was the fact that deep neural networks use a special Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function s(x) = max(0,x). Why this activation function is so successful is largely a mystery. In this paper, we show that common sense ideas -- as formalized by fuzzy logic -- can explain this mysterious effectiveness.

Why 6-Labels Uncertainty Scale In Geosciences: Probability-Based Explanation, Aaron Velasco, Julio C. Urenda, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

To describe uncertainty in geosciences, several researchers have recently proposed a 6-labels uncertainty scale, in which one the labels corresponds to full certainty, one label to the absence of any knowledge, and the remaining four labels correspond to the degrees of confidence from the intervals [0,0.25], [0.25,0.5], [0.5,0.75], and [0.75,1]. Tests of this 6-labels scale indicate that it indeed conveys uncertainty information to geoscientists much more effectively than previously proposed uncertainty schemes. In this paper, we use probability-related techniques to explain this effectiveness.
