Effects of US Foreign Assistance on Democracy Building, 1990–2014: An Update by Steven Finkel (3308940)

“…This paper updates our earlier work on the impact of US foreign assistance on democratic outcomes in recipient countries using newly available USAID Foreign Aid Explorer data covering the 2001–2014 period, as well as new outcome measures derived from Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) data. Building on the theoretical and empirical framework established in our previous study and in subsequent work in the field, we estimate: a) the effect of overall USAID Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) expenditures on general indices of democracy, b) changes in the effects of DRG expenditures after 2001, and c) the conditions that moderate the impact of DRG funding at the country level in the contemporary era. …”

DataSheet_1_Alterations of Cytokine Profiles in Patients With Recurrent Implantation Failure.pdf by Ling Guo (9700)

“…In this prospective study, comprehensive bioinfomatic analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to compare the serum cytokine profiles of 41 RIF patients with those of 29 subjects with first-cycle successful pregnancy in the mid-luteal phase and to assess the alterations of cytokine profiles in patients with clinical pregnancy at five weeks post-transplantation. We found several elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines, and increased Th1/Th2 cytokine ratios in RIF patients compared to control subjects. …”
