‘Existentializing’ Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development: Higher Mental Functions as Skillful Coping
DownloadSpring 2019
Cultural psychology has typically viewed culture as an abstract system of rules that are first internalized and then employed individually. Lev Vygotsky has been largely mobilized in cultural psychology to support such an account via emphasis on the priority of semiotic mediation and the role of...

(Re)conceptualizing Curriculum in (Physical) Education: Focused on Wellness and Guided by Wisdom
DownloadSpring 2014
It is clear to many researchers that physical education needs significant reform (Bain, 1995; Devis-Devis & Sparkes, 1999; Fernandez-Balboa, 1997; Kirk, 2010; Lawson, 2009; Tinning, 2010). While these calls for curriculum change are warranted, how we problematize the issue of curriculum needs...

A novel group of zebrafish Class II ADP-ribosylation factors and their potential role in photoreceptor development
DownloadFall 2013
In this study we identified an unknown set of Class II Arf isoforms in zebrafish. Bioinformatics analyses grouped these paralogues into three distinct clades. Using antisense morpholino gene knockdown, we tested the effect of loss of each zebrafish Class II Arf on early development and...

The transition to motherhood carries significant challenges. Teen mothers, in particular, are disproportionately impacted by mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, compounded by criticism, judgement, and stereotyping from others in the community. If not addressed, mental health...

Analysis of Foxc1 Function During Somite Formation and Chondrogenesis of the Axial Skeleton
DownloadSpring 2018
Development of the axial skeleton in vertebrates begins with the segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm into somites. Somites are transient structures in the embryos that ultimately give rise to the skeletal muscle, dermis, tendons, cartilage, and bony structures of the axial skeleton. Once...

Aquatic nanotoxicity testing: Insights at the biochemical, cellular, and whole animal levels
DownloadFall 2013
Aquatic organisms are susceptible to waterborne nanoparticles and there is only limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these emerging contaminants affect biological processes. The unique properties of nanomaterials necessitate evaluation of standard toxicity testing techniques to...

Background: The trigeminal ganglion (TG) is a cluster of neuron bodies in the cranium that supplies the face and skull with sensory innervation. In the mouse, neurons of the TG supply the whisker pad that is important for spatial navigation and intraspecific communication. Specialized cells in...

Chaperone and Gene Regulatory Roles of SMYD1b during Early Skeletal Muscle Development and Heart Morphogenesis
DownloadFall 2017
Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units that make up the striated muscle of the heart and skeletal muscle. The specification and differentiation of muscle cells and the contractile function of the sarcomere are generally well understood, but how the sarcomere assembles remains largely unknown....
