(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...

Fall 2023
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...

Spring 2016
Normal eye development requires a complex series of morphological movements and ocular patterning with aberrant eye development resulting in birth defects and retinal dystrophies. Eleven percent of paediatric blindness is caused by microphthalmia (small eyes), anophthalmia (no eyes) and coloboma...

Creation of an in-vitro¬ Co-culture Model of Microglia and Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells for Investigating the Innate Immune Mechanisms of the Retina
DownloadFall 2022
Background: The immune mechanisms of the retina in response to gene therapy have been previously understudied due to assumptions of ocular immune privilege. Ocular immune privilege is the concept that there is a tolerance or reduced immune response to antigen exposure in the eye. With the recent...

Electrophysiological Properties of a Quail Neuroretina Cell Line (QNR/D): Effects of Growth Hormone?
DownloadFall 2012
The expression of retinal ganglion cell protein markers and voltage-gated ion channels in QNR/D cells was investigated using immunocytochemistry and the whole cell patch clamp technique, respectively. Additionally, since these cells express growth hormone and growth hormone receptor, the effects...

Exploring the cultural construction of children's play in Thailand: an action research study with the Foundation for Child Development
DownloadFall 2011
Children’s play has emerged as a global discourse (Fleer, 2009). Studies from diverse theoretical traditions have examined the role of play in child development; however, the dominant discourse of play has largely privileged Western European-heritage cultural practices, and as a result childhood...

Fall 2017
Development of the vertebrate ocular structures requires the cooperative interactions of transcription factors, signalling proteins, external growth factors, and epigenetic regulatory factors. Consequently, misregulation of these cues can result in a number of developmental and functional...

Innate Immunity and the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Gene Therapy for Inherited Retinal Disorders
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The photoreceptors are post-mitotic (no longer dividing), so the eye has evolved several unique immunological mechanisms to protect the photoreceptors and prevent vision loss. Inherited retinal disorders occur when mutations disrupt normal retinal function and photoreceptors die....
