Critical Points of Resistance: Preparing Adult Educators to Educate Inside the U.S. Prison System
Authors: Chlup Dominique T.
Published: April 2024

This is a proposal answering the call for the Special Theme Issue on Adult Learning and Mass Incarceration. The purpose of this proposed research article is to present a case study that demonstrates the application of innovative critical pedagogical teaching methods used in a University classroom setting with adult educators who were preparing to teach inside the U.S. prison and jail system. While there is a body of literature that discusses the nature of adult education in the prison classroom, there has been a lack of data-based research that specifically highlights the critically overlooked issue of how do we develop adult educators for the task of teaching on the â€œinsideâ€? This article will be an example of engaging alternatives and reformulating the conceptualization of how to approach preparing adult educators to teach behind bars by discovering and creating new possibilities for the role of adult education in prison.
Prisons, Pedagogy, and Possibilities: An Application of Freire and hooksâ€™ Educational Philosophies
Authors: Scott Lindsay D.
Published: April 2024

This paper calls attention to educational opportunities inside of correctional facilities. Literature correlates a direct relationship between education and reduced recidivism (Esperian, 2010; Rand Corp., 2014; DOJ, 2016b). Using Freire and hooksâ€™ educational philosophies I discuss how I engaged critical pedagogy while teaching incarcerated juvenile offenders. I found that the youth I worked with were eager for an educational experience that allowed them to critically engage with our social world and analyze their lived experiences. Teaching in this controlled environment was challenging. My autonomy was encroached upon, which offered me a unique insight into the daily lives of the inmates. Through dialogical interactions, my perceptions and assumptions about incarcerated youth were confronted and changed. A radical and transformative pedagogy created a space where the notion of freedom could be negotiated.

Religion, Family, and Justice: A Narrative Study of Adults Learning to Teach for Social Justice in the Deep South
Authors: Warrington-Broxton Christen Victoria , Dentith Audrey M.
Published: April 2024

The Deep South is a distinctive, complex sociogeographic region of the U.S. whose history and politics have been marred by societal inequities and injustices. This research considered theories of social justice education and transformative learning to understand the processes by which adults learn to teach for social justice in the Deep Southern context. The study included from adult students enrolled in a doctoral-level class in education at a large, urban university in the Deep South. Narrative inquiry and Voice-Centered Relational Method were used in the process of data collection and analysis. Among the participants, familial and cultural religious narratives pervaded, deeply affecting a continual process of negotiation among the participantsâ€™ understanding of teaching for social justice and their own socially constructed identities. The religious backgrounds and family ethos fostered new notions of social justice and contributed to the participantsâ€™ perceptions of confidence to teach for social justice.
We, too, are America: The Erasure of Faculty of Color in Higher Education
Authors: Ramdeholl Dianne
Published: April 2024

This article explores whiteness/white supremacy in adult education programs in higher education and the ways in which faculty of color get erased in the process. Using my own context as a racialized faculty member in a graduate adult education program at the public State University of New York (SUNY) in NYC, I discuss how racialized faculty in higher education get erased. I focus mainly on how student evaluations negatively harm faculty of color but I also discuss tenure, curricula, and the culture of whiteness within the academy.
Activism in the University: Opportunities for Reflective Dialogue and Action
Authors: Wedderburn Nadine , Ramdeholl Dianne
Published: April 2024

Black liberation theology, blending justice-centered theology and Marxist analysis, centers on liberating the oppressed; while Womanist theology argues that a truly liberated world is one in which the experiences of the oppressed are given voice in tone and depth consistent with their culture and lived realities.  Drawing from these anti-oppression frameworks, this article tells the story of a racialized faculty caucus at State University of New York (SUNY) Empire State College (ESC) that is engaged with the institution's administration towards achieving racial equity in faculty work conditions.  The authors demonstrate how the caucus, through critiquing inherently oppressive institutional structures that disadvantage racialized faculty, is challenging the administration to acknowledge and abolish the racism that exists in the institution.  The work of the racialized faculty caucus at ESC articulates how faculty can call upon a university to interrogate its ethos towards realizing a more just set of policies and practices.
Transformational Power of Theatre of the Opressed with Marginalized Students
Authors: Sertich Stefanie
Published: April 2024

A reflective essay on how I came to find Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed and how it transformed me, my theatre program and ultimately, my students. I introduce how I came to this practice and how I use Boal's techniques and practices in combination with others to create my own theatre pedagogy.   I discuss assessments based on a non-traditional rubrics such as self-worth, vulnerability, adaptability, collaboration, creativity, empathy and unity. Finally, I believe this collaborative theatre is a type of social justice in and of itself; it offers a way to radicalize and liberate ourselves from oppressive systems which most of us are constantly boxed into.
Searching for Black Freedom in the South
Authors: Lewis Harden Erin , Teasdell Annette , Soluiman Ayat
Published: April 2024

The freedom struggle for Black Americans has cycled through American history. This reflection aims to recount lessons from the civil rights movement through a Black feminist lens from three scholars that grew up in South Carolina, home to years of racial tension and divide. To connect the Civil Rights Movement to the current Black Lives Matter movement, it is imperative to address the unsung heroes who made strides to dismantle the anti-Black narratives, laws, and policies that reinforce notions of racial inferiority. As such, Black women have been in the pits of the anti-Black struggle during both the civil rights movement and the Black Lives Matter movement. Black women have the unique lived experience of being Black and women, when race and gender are often focused on separately. These intersections are extremely important in considering the behind-the-scenes roles of women during the civil rights movement compared to women's roles at the forefront of the current Black Lives Matter movement. This work applies Black feminist thought toward a historical discussion on movements of social change for Black people. Additional reflections on the current role of Black women and adult education on voter rights toward the 2020 election and reflections on the recent Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the first Black and South Asian woman to hold that title are included.
Book Review: Gifts from the Dark: Learning from the Incarceration Experience
Authors: Boccio Rachel
Published: April 2024

Gifts from the Dark explores imprisonment as a site and process of pedagogy. Learning, as Schwartz and Chaney argue, is “disorienting”; it draws on the resources of mind, body, and spirit; it is both solitary and relational; and, finally, it has the power to make change in the world.
Beliefs about Higher Education for Incarcerated People Through the Lens of Public Health Prevention
Authors: Harner Holly , Wyant Brian
Published: April 2024

Incarcerated individuals are one of the most educationally disadvantaged populations in U.S. Limited education is a risk factor for initial incarceration and recidivism. Despite robust empirical findings supporting post-secondary correctional education (PSCE) as an evidence-based intervention that reduces crime, some individuals are reluctant to support their adoption more widely. An opinion piece in the New York Times suggesting that prisons be turned into colleges provides an opportunity to better understand public opinion regarding PSCE programs through the lens of public health prevention. Although, many readers were supportive of PSCE’s as a means to prevent recidivism, many questioned if the target population was capable of completing college level work, if these programs would incentivize criminal behavior and felt prisoners are not deserving of the opportunity to take college courses, especially as student debt and college costs are rising. Lastly, potential implications and recommendations for policymakers and higher education leaders are discussed.

Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to focus on the "Cuojin" in Manchu costumes in the Qing Dynasty, ("Cuojin" means the form of dislocation butt joint at the collar of the big lapel. "Shunjin"means the form of neat form butt joint at the collar of the big lapel.) Through the research of specimens and literature, it was found that in the late Qing Dynasty, the "Cuojin" form generally appeared in the large placket casual clothes.The "Cuojin"is produced with the appearance of the big front edge decoration. The collar edge embroidered pieces need to be broken the seam in the front and stitched with embroidered pieces on the large placket. The "Shunjin" with "neat matching" appeared first, and then "Cuojin" gradualy formed.The conclusion of this paper is summarized in the literature collected at present. With the excavation and international exchange of more literature specimens, there will be more discoveries and new conclusions. Although "Cuojin" has no written rules and regulations, the use of it has a strict definition with its clothing level, that is, only for women use as casual wear. Although the "Cuojin" looks complex on the surface, in fact, it is easy to turn complexity into simplicity. The motivation is based on solving the problems of insufficient sewing and difficult craftsmanship, and guiding people from the aesthetics of "neat confrontation" to "winding path leading to a secluded spot".

This spirit of full of "make the best of an error" wisdom of "knowledge is acquired through experience" new-confucianism overturned the late Qing Dynasty clothing pretensions revealing the mainstream views of luxury.

Luisa Forrellad en el fuego cruzado de la crítica de posguerra
Authors: Márquez Gemma
Published: April 2024

La visibilidad que otorgó el Premio Nadal a las escritoras de la posguerra española tuvo una contrapartida: el riesgo de aparecer en el medio literario bajo el auspicio de un galardón cuestionado por ciertos sectores críticos. Un ejemplo claro de ello fue el de Luisa Forrellad, cuyas debilidades de novelista primeriza se magnificaron para poder criticar abiertamente el premio. Estudiar la recepción crítica de la novela que Forrellad presentó al Nadal, Siempre en capilla, revela las tensiones del medio en que se publicó la obra y apunta hacia uno de los factores que influyó en el silencio posterior de la autora.

A Review on the Detection and Classification of Glaucoma Disease Based on Transfer Learning
Authors: Raj Likhith K , Bai L Nirmala , B S Soumya , T S Monikashree
Published: April 2024

An eye infection is a condition affecting the eyes that can be caused by a bacterium, virus, or fungus. Numerous eye infections exist, such as glaucoma, cellulitis, keratitis, and conjunctivitis. A few of the symptoms may be itching, discharge, altered eyesight and others. Antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria exclusively. A class of eye infection known as glaucoma can result in blindness and visual loss by harming the optic nerve, a nerve located at the back of the eye. You might not notice the symptoms at first because they can appear so slowly. A thorough dilated eye exam is the only way to determine if you have glaucoma . Efforts have been done to automate the procedures for the recognition and classification of glaucoma. In this paper, we have proposed a transfer learning model by reviewing pre-trained models and the model is able to provide a better accuracy. Our model is classifying the datasets into positive and negative cases during testing and validation. We utilize different prêt rained models, that are ResNet50 (90%), EffiecintNet (78%) and CNN(79%) evaluate how well they perform when trained using various optimizers. Our results show differences in accuracy and provide important information about the possibility of these models for the detection of glaucoma. An important first step towards improving the precision and dependability of glaucoma detection models in clinical settings is represented by this work.

Published: April 2024

Coffee (Coffea robusta) flower honey is one of the highest-yielding kinds of honey in Vietnam. Nevertheless, there is little research on the antifungal activity associated with this type of honey. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the antifungal activity against C. albicans of Vietnamese coffee monofloral honey and its potential effects on biofilm formation. This study was conducted using the broth microdilution method. The results showed that coffee flower honey was resistant to Candida albicans strain with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and with minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values of 50% and 70% (w/v), respectively. No change in the antifungal activity of honey and the antifungal agent (Amphotericin B) against the C. albicans strain occurred after five consecutive exposures. When using SEM, honey at MIC (w/v) strongly affected the two stages of C. albicans biofilm formation. The surface structure of the biofilm, deformed, distorted, and atrophied phenotypes impacted by honey were also observed. Expression of transcriptional-level genes involved in biofilm formation, quorum-sensing, and stress survival was analyzed by RT-qPCR in honey-treated and untreated biofilms. The present study showed the antifungal activity of Vietnamese coffee flower honey against C. albicans.

Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) or Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) is a bacterial disease in shrimps caused by pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus. It has culminated in huge loss in global shrimp production due to mass mortality. A probiotic strain Lactococcus lactis strain FA1 was recently isolated from shark intestine, showing inhibition towards the growth of the pathogen. Due to inhibitory potential, the effect of probiotics strain on growth performance of shrimp infected with V. parahaemolyticus was evaluated. The probiotic strain was incorporated into feed for juvenile shrimps Litopanaeus vannamei for 3 weeks before which they were then challenged with pathogen Vibro parahaemolyticus. The study compares 4 shrimp groups: Control (Without any treatment); Group A (Probiotic treated, uninfected); Group B (Probiotic treated, infected) and Group C (No probiotic, infected). The survival and growth performance (weight and length gain) of shrimps were evaluated in the following 30 days. Statistical analyses (ANOVA; Post Hoc Tukey) were used to compare between shrimp groups. In general, infected shrimp demonstrated some of the key symptoms of AHPND (pale or white hepatopancreas), transparent body and erratic swimming behaviour. The supplementation of probiotics resulted in an improved survivability (65±1%) compared to infected shrimp (45±1%). The probiotic treated shrimp group showed to have better % body weight gain, in which weight gain between group B (treated/infected) and group C (untreated/infected) were significantly different (at P=0.046); and so, to group A (treated/uninfected) when compared with group C (P=0.047). There is however no significant difference in % length gain between the groups. Meanwhile, some of the infected shrimps were able to show recovery from the infection. Pre-infection probiotic treatment showed better performance compared to post-infection probiotic treatment. This indicated that the strain Lactococcus lactis is highly suitable for use as the future probiotic in shrimp aquaculture.

Asthma and obesity are inflammatory diseases that have a considerable impact on the development of oral diseases. The purpose of this study was to establish the link between asthma induced inflammation, obesity and their impact on the development of periodontal disease. This is a cross-sectional study concerning 130 Algerians aged between 18 and 86 years old. 70 of the subjects were atopic asthmatics and 60 were control cases. The functional assessment of asthma was performed by spirometry. The CRP, ESR and eosinophil count confirmed the inflammation state. Our study revealed that women are more likely to develop asthma than men (p-value = 0.01). Snacking plays a key role in weight gain, where it is confirmed and statistically proven by a highly significant difference (p-value = 0.004). Treatment and more especially inhaled corticosteroids have a direct effect on obesity (p-value = 0.047) and on the aggravation of the quality of oral cavity. This study confirms also the high correlation between the control of asthma, the ESR ​​ and the CRP in obese asthmatic (p-value = 0.013, r = 0.225 and p-value = 0,255, r = 0.740 respectively), as well we observed a very high correlation between eosinophil level in the control of asthma in obese (p-value = 0,001, r =0.142) compared to leans ones. This study has highlighted and strengthened the link between asthma and obesity and their effect on oral health.

Rosmarinus officinalis L. commonly known as Rosemary is a well-known genus belongs to Lamiaceae family, which is one of the major plant families with a high concentration of essential oils. Rosemary is well known to produce herbal essential oils owing to the presence of therapeutic and medicinal elements in the plant’s by-products. In the present study, rosemary essential oil (REO) was extracted from Rosmarinus officinalis and it was evaluated for its phytochemicals, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activities. GC-FID analysis and fingerprint analysis was performed. Different antioxidant assays were performed like DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), nitric oxide radical, hydroxyl radical, iron reducing potential, iron chelating activity. Anti-bacterial activity was observed by the disk diffusion method against Gram-positive (G+), Gram-negative (G−) bacteria. Anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activities were also performed. Antifungal activity against Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis causing fungal strains was also evaluated.  GC-FID revealed the presence of vertocitral, α-pinene andhumulene oxidemajor component of REO along with other bioactive components. The IC50 value (µl/ml) for various assays was observed in the following order: OH- (16.6118), iron chelating (32.0115), iron reducing (92.534), DPPH (101.929), and ABTS (172.2765). The best antimicrobial activity was against Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 121), with an inhibition zone of 2.5 cm. REO showed strong anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic potential and can be employed as an anti-diabetic agent due to its inhibitory effect on α-amylase activity. Based on these findings it was concluded that REO can be widely employed across a variety of sectors, including food, aromatherapy, herbal and allopathic medicine, cosmetics, and as a natural biocide, fungicide, and preservative.

This work aims at exploiting the essential oil (EO) and phenolic compounds (PC) of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) in a formulation containing leaf powder stabilized with chitin (1%, w/w) to improve chicken meat and investigate their effect on qualitatively and quantitatively broiler chickens’ growth performances. To such a purpose, chicks, at 1 day of age, were distributed in pens on ground divided into four batches. The two control batches were fed with conventional feed, but the positive control contained flavomycin (0.5 g/kg) as growth factor. The two treated batches received a conventional feed supplemented with two doses of 20 and 50 g/kg of the developed formulation. Essential oil and phenolic compound contents in powdered leaves were, respectively, 1.20 and 22.86% in ethanolic extract. 1,8-Cineole (46.88%), followed by camphor (19.20%), α-pinene (9.56%), L.α.-terpineol (5.91%) and β-pinene (4.40%) were the main compounds of the used EO. The two batches of treated chicks showed a significant improvement in body weight (281.88 and 283.75 g, respectively), a decrease in feed conversion and a reduction in mortality (8%), when compared to the control batches. In addition, the elaborated formulation induced catalase activity used as an indicator of cellular antioxidant activity modulation.

Invasive alien species pose a serious threat to the world’s ecosystems and livelihoods. This review aimed to investigate the negative and positive impacts of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC on ecosystems in Kenya and Ethiopia. The bibliographic analysis highlighted that Prosopis juliflora was introduced to Kenya and Ethiopia to tackle desertification, ensure the self-sufficiency of wood products, and conserve water and soil in semi-arid areas. Years later, this species has turned invasive; although the communities in infested areas have realized some benefits from this tree such as obtaining timber, charcoal, firewood, shelter, and livestock feed from its pods; the negative impacts of this tree have far outweighed the positives. Notably, this invasive plant has significantly impacted agricultural and livestock productivity by invading pasturelands and farmlands. For instance, the negative health implications for livestock significantly reduce their productivity. Similarly, this plant has reduced the diversity of the native trees, herbaceous, and grasses because of its ability to outcompete them. Control methods such as biological, mechanical, chemical, and control by utilization have been tried but none have so far been effective in controlling this invasive plant. Our results showed that Prosopis juliflora is a serious invader that has a huge potential to invade the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya and Ethiopia. Therefore, stakeholders at all levels need to implement integrated management strategies to reduce the spread and the negative impacts of this species.

Angka kematian ibu (AKI) merupakan indikator penting dalam melihat derajat kesehatan suatu bangsa dan menjadi salah satu komponen indeks pembangnan maupun indeks kualitas hidup.. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di wilayah Kecamatan Binjai Timur, Kota Binjai Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah ibu 35 ibu hamil dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu usia kehamilan mulai dari 24 minggu. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa responden berumur ≤ 20 tahun (5,7%), responden berumur 21-27 tahun (48,6%), responden berumur 28-34 tahun (42,9%), dan responden berumur ≥ 35 tahun (2,9%) dan berpendidikan tamat SMA (77,1%). Responden tidak bekerja (60,0%), responden Wiraswasta/sektor informal (25,7%), dan responden Pegawai/sektor formal (14,3%). Responden yang memiliki jaminan kesehatan (88,6%) dan responden yang menggunakan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan (68,6%), Analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendapatan berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan, dan persalinan, dimana ibu yang memiliki tingkat pendapatan ≥Rp 2.500.000,- memiliki kemungkinan lebih rendah untuk memanfaatkan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan maupun persalinan. Oleh sebab itu, perlu sosialisasi lebih luas agar memanfaatkan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan dan persalinan, terutama pada ibu hamil di wilayah Binjai Timur.

Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran mengenai sistem klaim Jaminan Hari Tua (JHT) dan perhitungannya bagi para tenaga kerja yang telah menjadi peserta Jaminan Hari Tua (JHT) di BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Cabang Medan Utara. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan oleh penulis adalah menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan analisis data Reduction, Display, Conclusion Drawing/Verification. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data yang telah dilakukan dengan cara melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan Pelaksanaan sistem klaim jaminan hari tua yang ada di BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Cabang Medan Utara pada umumnya belum sesuai dengan peraturan yang ada. Hal ini didasarkan adanya peserta yang tidak melampirkan Surat Keterangan Berhenti Bekerja atau Surat Keterangan Tidak Bekerja Lagi saat melakukan klaim. Pemanfaatan sistem klaim jaminan hari tua kurang efektif karena masih banyak peserta melakukan klaim hanya di kantor cabang, padahal selain melalui kantor cabang, peserta bisa melakukan klaim melalui service point, ataupun online. Untuk perhitungan saldo jaminan hari tua, manfaat yang diperoleh akan lebih baik jika di klaim di saat usia tua daripada usia muda, selain sesuai manfaat JHT itu sendiri yang disediakan untuk masa hari tua peserta, pendapatan dari bunga pengembangan saldo jaminan hari tua menjadikan manfaat jaminan hari tua lebih terasa bila melakukan klaim di masa tua, bunga pengembangan saldo akan menambah saldo peserta sekalipun peserta tidak membayar iuran lagi.
