Short Description:
Laboratory activities in this workbook are presented as chapters each of which could either be highly specialized, or generic. The approach and the level of difficulty will vary based on instructors’ preferences and more importantly availability and quality of the materials and equipment available in the laboratory.
Long Description:
Each laboratory activity follows a lecture which is envisioned to provide additional detailed information (already mostly or partially covered in a textbook assigned by a professor for Biological Anthropology theory course) regarding scheduled topics to be covered in the laboratory by offering further and in-depth guidance needed for the laboratory setting.

The lab manual was written as the first installment that coincides with two lab courses taught at the University of Oklahoma (BME3171, BME3181). These courses are designed to provide Biomedical Engineering students with lab skills and experience in biomedical engineering research and clinical techniques. This manual is used with BME3171 Lab 1 and the following topics are covered in this lab manual; functional human models, musculoskeletal lever systems, bioimaging (ultrasound), bioelectricity (electromyography), & uni-axial testing.

Evidence-based clinical aspects of audiologic identification, assessment, intervention, and prevention of hearing impairments relevant to the practice of speech-language pathology; strategies for working with individuals and their families across the lifespan; culturally and linguistically appropriate practice.
Short Description:
Visual depictions of the health care professions often do not include ethnoculturally diverse therapists and patients. Stock videos and photos can also be expensive, limiting access to high quality resources to those who can afford to pay. We developed an online library to house photos that depict therapists and patients from diverse backgrounds performing physiotherapy skills and engaging in healthcare-related activities. The Diversity Exchange is one way to enhance teaching and learning by integrating anti-racist and anti-oppressive pedagogy ensuring our culture and practices resist and dismantle institutional racism, rather than reproducing it.

Short Description:
Exercise Delivery is a valuable resource for students studying in any exercise professions, particularly exercise science and exercise physiology. Rather than focussing on the theory that underpins prescription and anatomy, this resource focusses on how best to deliver exercises for individuals, including advice and guidance on how to change exercises to achieve the outcomes you need.
Long Description:
Exercise Delivery is an open access, introductory text intended for students and professionals in the field of exercise science and exercise physiology. It contains instructional videos on the delivery of exercises and their variations, with supplementary activities on the selection of exercises, muscle recruitment and activation during exercises, and the adaptation of exercises for various populations. The book is sectioned into resistance exercise delivery for each of the key muscle groups of the human body, and aerobic exercise delivery.

Fear is a physiological, behavioral, and emotional reaction to stimuli that an animal encounters (Horwitz, 2013). In many species across the animal kingdom, the physiological reaction results in an increase in heart rate, increased respiratory rate (panting), sweating, trembling, pacing, and possibly urination and defecation. Fear is an appropriate response to environments and stimuli that are potentially harmful to the animal, which could utilize a creature’s fight or flight response and preserve its life. In this resource, fear of human and nonhuman animals, along with potential treatments for fear disorders, is explored and reviewed.
