MATERIALIZING MAKERSPACES: QUEERLY COMPOSING SPACE, TIME, AND (WHAT) MATTERS
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)This dissertation project explores makerspaces as non-traditional composing networks where makers work with (and against) unconventional digital and physical materials such as vinyl, cut paper, plastic filament, insects, ... -
MATERNAL AND PATERNAL SUPPORT, EFFICACY, AND OBJECTIVELY MEASURE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG PRESCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-14)Parents are important influences on child physical activity; thus, the overall purpose of this study is to examine maternal and paternal factors associated with child physical activity. An emphasis is placed on the following: ... -
Maternal Attitudes and Behaviors and Weight Concerns of Gymnasts
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Weight concerns are highly prevalent for adolescent female aesthetic sport athletes, particularly gymnasts, and these concerns can have detrimental effects on overall health and well-being. Though the cause of these weight ... -
Maternal cadmium, iron and zinc levels, DNA methylation and birth weight
(2015-07)Background Cadmium (Cd) is a ubiquitous and environmentally persistent toxic metal that has been implicated in neurotoxicity, carcinogenesis and obesity and essential metals including zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) may alter ... -
Maternal Experience of Family-Centered Care and Parenting Their Child with Down syndrome and Congenital Heart Defect
(East Carolina University, 2019-12-10)Approximately half of children with Down syndrome are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD). There is limited empirical research exploring parental perspective or experience of children with both Down syndrome and CHD ... -
