Does physical activity at a younger age reduce the likelihood of falls in seniors? / by Cindy Sabolic.
(2008)Purpose: Falls are a significant cause of death and disability and have a serious impact to the psychological and physical health of the elderly. The purpose of this research study was to determine if physical activity ... -
Does self-referent cognition act as a mediator between mood and body image
(1999)Depression and dysphoria have often been cited as emotional states that exacerbate both body size distortion and body dissatisfaction. The specific cause of this association has recently been the subject of empirical ... -
Does the presentation of neonatal abstinence syndrome symptoms differ among infants based on exposure substance?
(2014-01-22)INTRODUCTION: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is one of the primary negative effects of substance use during pregnancy. Neonatal abstinence syndrome refers to a generalized disorder observed in infants experiencing ... -
Does this count for marks? : a mixed methods analysis of teacher opinion of counting a large-scale assessment toward class grades
(2012-11-10)The objective of this research was to gain insights on teacher opinions related to the practice of counting a portion of a large-scale educational assessment (LSA) for students' grades. [The author] anaylized the responses ... -
Dog sports : a mixed methods exploration of motivation in agility participation
(2015-08-05)Obesity and physical inactivity are on the rise amongst Canadians. Dog sports, agility in particular, may represent a form of physical activity that can help address the health issues that some of our population face. ... -
Dominance and competition: a giving-up density analysis of rank-based foraging decisions of small groups of confined bison (Bison bison)
(2023)Socially foraging animals such as bison (Bison bison) modify their foraging behaviour based on social status and food availability to maximize individual fitness. Winter feeding trials were performed on juvenile bison ... -
