Adherence To Appropriate Instructional Practice Guidelines In American College And University Physical Activity Programs, Drue T. Stapleton
Adherence To Appropriate Instructional Practice Guidelines In American College And University Physical Activity Programs, Drue T. Stapleton
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Background/Purpose: Higher education physical activity programs (HEPAP) in physical education have existed in American college and universities for over 100 years. Initially used to teach physical education and promote physical activity to prepare students for potential wartime conflicts, they have evolved in response to changes in societal and educational purposes and needs. In 2008, NASPE published its updated Guidelines for Appropriate Instructional Practice in Higher Education Physical Activity Programs. The guidelines educate professionals about effective physical education for post-secondary students, but knowledge of their use is limited. The purpose of the study was to examine familiarity and adherence to these …
Living Pictures: Performances Of Jewishness In Late Nineteenth- And Early Twentieth-Century American Novels, Nevena Stojanovic
Living Pictures: Performances Of Jewishness In Late Nineteenth- And Early Twentieth-Century American Novels, Nevena Stojanovic
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
My dissertation examines the relationship between Jewish identity and performance in non- Jewish novelists' portrayals of tableaux vivants, or living pictures. As a performance genre imported from Europe, the tableau vivant was a frequent element of nineteenth-century American fiction and a popular pastime of middle- and upper-class Americans in the 1800s. Since living pictures were ideologically coded---in general, designed to motivate viewers, mostly women, to adopt the patriarchal values invoked through the performance, such as chastity, purity, and piety---scholarship on the application of tableaux vivants primarily focuses on gender and class. My dissertation contributes to these discussions by highlighting the …
Black Male Retention Initiatives: Exploring Students' Experiences And Program Effectiveness At Predominantly White Institutions, Gabrielle St. Leger
Black Male Retention Initiatives: Exploring Students' Experiences And Program Effectiveness At Predominantly White Institutions, Gabrielle St. Leger
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Recent initiatives in higher education have been designed to increase Black undergraduate male collegiate retention and persistence through graduation for this historically underrepresented population. Although institutional leaders in higher education have focused on creating more inclusive campuses, designing and implementing programs to retain Black undergraduate men have remained largely under studied. Specifically at predominantly white institutions (PWIs), a step in the process is evaluating and assessing the efforts for effectiveness and impact on students' overall development and success. Programs that have achieved ways to increase the retention rates have information that is useful in reversing low retention and graduation should …
Forest Regeneration: Perceptions Of Natural Resource Professionals In West Virginia, Ellen Lee Voss
Forest Regeneration: Perceptions Of Natural Resource Professionals In West Virginia, Ellen Lee Voss
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
It has generally been assumed that natural hardwood regeneration in West Virginia after a timber harvest or other disturbance will be abundant and successful. However, changes that are being observed in the seedling and sapling components of forest stands suggest that problems may exist with regeneration of desirable species. Factors affecting regeneration have been the topic of conversation among foresters and other natural resource professionals for years. To address the need for more information about this issue, we conducted a mail survey of natural resource professionals (NRPs) in West Virginia. The objectives of the survey were to determine how they …
Degradation Of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Anode In Phosphorus-Containing Coal Syngas, Jinlong Yan
Degradation Of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Anode In Phosphorus-Containing Coal Syngas, Jinlong Yan
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Coal is the dominant energy for electric power generation. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has been proposed to be incorporated into the coal based power plant. Currently, Nickel-Yttria stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) composite is widely used as the anode in SOFCs (YSZ as electrolyte) due to its low-cost, high electric conductivity, and excellent catalytic activity for many fuel types. However, the long-term stability of the Ni/YSZ anode remains a major concern when a SOFC is operated using coal syngas. Poisoning by the impurity species in the coal syngas poses severe threat on the SOFCs. Of all the impurities present in coal …
Evaluation Of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy And A Standard Parenting Program Within A Women's State Prison Facility, Ashley B. Tempel
Evaluation Of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy And A Standard Parenting Program Within A Women's State Prison Facility, Ashley B. Tempel
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A majority of inmates in state and federal prisons across the U.S. have been reported to be parents of minors (Glaze & Maruschak, 2008). It is estimated that twice as many American children (i.e., 2% or over 1.7 million) compared to children of other industrialized countries have incarcerated parents (Murray, 2007). Approximately 336, 000 households with minor children are believed to be directly affected by parental imprisonment (Mumola, 2000). Parent training provided through correctional programming has potential to impact a large number of American families that are affected by parental incarceration. However, correctional parenting programs often vary across facilities and …
Predictors Of Adherence To Mammography Screening Guidelines And Preferences For Intervention Strategies In A Mobile Mammography Program, Ami Vyas
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Early detection of breast cancer (BC) in women can lead to long-term survival and better quality of life. Mammography screening is considered to be the 'gold standard' for women at an average risk to detect BC early and hence reduce BC-related mortality. West Virginia (WV) has a lower incidence of BC but higher rates of advanced and unstaged BC which has been attributed to lower mammography screening rates in women in WV. Mobile mammography programs have been in use for more than two decades to overcome barriers and increase mammography screening rates in rural and hard-to-reach populations. WV has one …

Evaluation Of A Protocol To Diagnose Chronic Kidney Disease Using The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiatives (Kdoqi) Guideline: Evaluation, Classification, And Stratification (Ecs)., Sandra L. Cotton
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem in West Virginia. Primary care of CKD is suboptimal. Clinical practice guideline (CPG) usage could improve care, but CPG adoption is difficult. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiatives (KDOQI) outlines CKD prevention and management. The primary goal of this project was to evaluate methods to increase KDOQI CPG adoption to enhance CKD diagnosis and staging in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), the leading cause of kidney disease. Secondary goals included increasing provider knowledge and project satisfaction. Using a quasi-experimental, one group pretest/posttest design, the KDOQI CPG, an overview of CKD care, …
A Study Of The Relationship Between Perceived School Culture And Reading Academic Achievement In The Special Education Subgroup At Selected West Virginia Middle Schools., Daton Nacha Dean
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if a relationship existed between school culture as perceived by teachers and administrators and reading academic achievement in the special education subgroup reading achievement as measured by the 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006- 07, and 2007-08 West Virginia Educational Standards Test (WESTEST) in selected West Virginia middle schools. To determine if a relationship existed, teachers and principals at participating middle schools took the School Culture Survey (SCS). One conclusion of this study was that the school culture of the four participating West Virginia middle schools as perceived by teachers and principals was primarily …

Human Dignity And Health Law: Personhood In Recent Bioethical Debates, Zachary R. Calo
Human Dignity And Health Law: Personhood In Recent Bioethical Debates, Zachary R. Calo
Scholarly Works
This Article considers how the idea of human dignity has shaped, and been shaped by, recent bioethical debates, particularly concerning the issue of genetic engineering and enhancement. While the language of human dignity has long had a role in bioethics, the issue of genetic manipulation has raised anew fundamental questions about the nature of personhood and the meaning of dignity. Particular attention is given to Ronald Green’s “Babies by Design,” George Kateb's “Human Dignity,” Gilbert Meilaender's “Neither Beast Nor God: The Dignity of the Human Person,” Robert George's and Christopher Tollefsen's “Embryo: A Defense of Human Life,” Michael Sandel’s “The …
Analysis And Validation Of A Parkinson's Disease Register As A Recruitment Tool For Clinical Studies., Camille Carroll, Amy Palmer, Christine Cosby, John Zajicek
Analysis And Validation Of A Parkinson's Disease Register As A Recruitment Tool For Clinical Studies., Camille Carroll, Amy Palmer, Christine Cosby, John Zajicek
Peninsula Medical School
Promotion of research is a key strategy of the National Health Service (NHS). Currently, many patients are not afforded the opportunity to participate in clinical studies. A register of research-interested patients has the potential to maximise inclusivity. We have established a register of research-interested patients with Parkinson's disease within the South West of England, with pragmatic inclusion criteria and multiple recruitment routes. We undertook an analysis of the register, investigation of its utility as a recruitment tool and a survey of recruiters. There were 529 active participants; 30% were self-referred and 70% were recruited by a healthcare practitioner. Response rate …

Peninsula Medical School
Loss of the tumor suppressor merlin causes development of the tumors of the nervous system, such as schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas occurring spontaneously or as part of a hereditary disease Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). Current therapies, (radio) surgery, are not always effective. Therefore, there is a need for drug treatments for these tumors. Schwannomas are the most frequent of merlin-deficient tumors and are hallmark for NF2. Using our in vitro human schwannoma model, we demonstrated that merlin-deficiency leads to increased proliferation, cell-matrix adhesion, and survival. Increased proliferation due to strong activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) is caused by overexpression/activation …

The America Invents Act 500: Effects Of Patent Monetization Entities On Us Litigation, Robin Feldman
The America Invents Act 500: Effects Of Patent Monetization Entities On Us Litigation, Robin Feldman
Faculty Scholarship
Any discussion of flaws in the United States patent system inevitably turns to the system’s modern villain: non-practicing entities, known more colorfully as patent trolls. For many years, however, discussions about non-practicing entities have been long on speculation and short on data. In 2011 Congress directed the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office to study the effects of non-practicing entities on patent litigation. At the request of the GAO, we collected and coded a set of patent lawsuits filed over the past five years. This article presents our analysis of the data and its implications. The data confirm in a dramatic fashion …
