Counternarratives of Resistance in Preservice Teacher Education
Authors: Cannon Narcarsia , Robinson Zaria , Tondreau Amy 
Published: April 2024

Now more than ever, injustice against African Americans is being publicized at an alarming rate. The accessibility of mobile phones has made it possible for prejudice against blacks to be brought to global attention. This has propelled the Black Lives Matter movement and protesters around the world to take to the streets in demand for change within the governing systems. Their shouts of police brutality toward African Americans are being heard. However, there is another injustice being done against blacks that remains unseen in the background. This quiet discriminatory system has been in operation for generations. The purpose of this article is to expose the disconnection between the African American student and the education system; a detachment that has been intentional and systematic. This article discusses how the education system has become a quiet oppressor of African Americans. An oppressor who has robbed African Americans of their vast history. An oppressor who has branded African Americans as ignorant and delinquent. An oppressor who has refused to acknowledge and include the academic works produced by scholars of color within its curriculum. The racist practices of the educational system have been hidden in plain sight for decades. This article is not being written in order to vent out frustrations. This article is a call for action. A call for change in a system that impacts all African American students from kindergarten through college. As current events have revealed, racism is alive and well in America and is being cultivated inside our schools.
Against All Odds: Reflections from a “Scary” Black Woman
Authors: Sylvester DeLisha 
Published: April 2024

This reflective essay addresses the use of sanctuaries as resistance capital, the burden of resistance, and the impacts of Black visibility within higher education from a first-year doctoral student. It addresses the concepts of identity, whiteness, and representation, and how they have shaped my experiences within a predominantly white Marianist institution that has claimed to have taken charge against racist practices. It considers my background as a first-generation college student who has felt the need to minimize myself in spaces of whiteness to adhere to white comfort and make myself more palatable. Additionally, it presents my decision, not to negotiate my Blackness and how it alters how I am viewed within these spaces. Lastly, it addresses the stereotypical notions of the “scary Black woman” and how utilizing my voice and perspective has created an atmosphere of fear for my white counterparts. Reflecting on my experiences within higher education will help to shine a light on the intersectionalities of the Black Lives Matter movement and the Black experience and how those outer movements shape how I create both resistance and a holistic approach to wholeness in an environment created for white students.

Using Digital Book Clubs during the COVID-19 Pandemic to Minimize the Distance of Social Distancing
Authors: Smith Anderson , Polleck Jody 
Published: April 2024

Due to COVID-19, making transitions from in-person to remote learning has been challenging, especially for educators who work with historically marginalized populations. For the duration of the pandemic, the authors have used books that center social justice in order to facilitate asynchronous and synchronous digital book clubs to build and sustain communities. In doing so, they have supported readers’ literacies while also focusing on building readers’ sense of agency, advocacy, and emotional well-being. The authors used their combined experiences in ways that were culturally sustaining and emotionally responsive to the needs of vulnerable populations consisting of both formerly incarcerated adults and young adults in alternative school districts. Using transactional theories and culturally sustaining pedagogies, this article provides an overview of how the authors facilitated these experiences as healing and nurturing spaces that sustain readers’ literacies while also providing them with coping strategies and opportunities for connections during a global pandemic.
Backlash: The Primordial Response to (Teaching) Critical Race Theory and U.S. History
Authors: Wedderburn Nadine 
Published: April 2024

Although Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that students are not likely to encounter before college graduate levels, it has been targeted for how topics related to race and racism in U.S. historical context should be addressed in K-12 and tertiary curricula. This author argues that the heightened attention to CRT across local, state, and federal legislature reflects a primeval response that is rooted in whiteness and repulsive towards truth-telling, consciousness-raising, and justice-oriented action. Utilizing Isabel Wilkerson’s conceptualization of ‘caste’ and pivotal moments in U.S. history that center the lives and experiences of racialized people, the paper aims to show that the instinctive response is consistently activated to stymie any shift perceived as threatening to U.S. racial order.

Keywords: backlash, caste, critical race theory
Protective effect of neem leaf extract and dexamethasone in cigarette-smoke induced liver and kidney injury in Swiss mice: A comparative analysis
Authors: VERMA Anushree , SUBHASHINI  , SRIVASHTAV Vishal , SINGH Abhinav 
Published: April 2024

Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of the leading causes of lung injury where co-morbidity in different organs including liver and kidney can be observed. CS contributes as one of the causes of mortality across the globe. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid is widely used as an anti-inflammatory medication despite being associated with several side effects with long-term usage. Therefore, the present study focused on the comparison between dexamethasone and Azadirachta indica leaf extract (AILE) for treating hepatic and renal injury caused by CS in mice. The phytochemical screening of AILE revealed the abundance of phytocompounds as sterols, proteins, alkaloids, flavonoids and diterpenes that might have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. In this context, Swiss mice were treated with CS, dexamethasone and AILE. CS-induced mice expressed elevated inflammatory cells, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) with higher levels of both liver and kidney function markers: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatinine respectively which was reversed by AILE. No mortality was observed in CS or AILE-treated group while dexamethasone-treated mice exclusively resulted in 20% mortality. Moreover, CS-induced mice also exhibited declined SOD levels in the liver and kidney and higher Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) which was modulated by AILE treatment. This is the first report demonstrating in vivo the effects of A. indica ethanolic leaf extract in treating CS-induced hepatic and renal chronic inflammation in an animal model which gave better results when compared to dexamethasone.

Over the preceding 38 years, a few outbreaks have been brought on by the Ebola virus, which produces the Ebola illness. No specific treatment has been approved for EVD. Problem management and supportive care are the cornerstones of treatment. Effective outbreak control requires a multidisciplinary team effort that includes case care, infection prevention and control protocols, contact tracing and surveillance, a high-quality laboratory service, dignified and safe funerals, and social and community mobilization. The 2014 Ebola outbreak started in Africa and swiftly spread to other continents before turning into a pandemic. The illness gained international interest because to its relatively peculiar design, lethality and contagiousness, difficulty in containing its spread, and absence of a reliable treatment. Two medications have received FDA approval to treat EVD. Ebanga is a single monoclonal antibody, whereas Inmazeb is a mixture of three monoclonal antibodies. Individuals utilizing any of the two FDA-approved treatments had a significantly greater overall survival rate. In this article, the known history of the Ebola virus, its mode of infection, epidemiology, lifecycle, and possible treatments are briefly reviewed.

Clinicopathologic and Molecular Characterization of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus–Positive Carcinomas of the Urinary Tract
Authors: Kayraklioglu Neslihan , Stohr Bradley A. , Chan Emily 
Published: April 2024

Context.—
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-known cause of squamous cell carcinomas of anogenital and oropharyngeal regions, where treatment strategies and prognosis depend on HPV status. The significance of HPV status in tumors arising along the urinary tract is not well established.

Objective.—
To provide detailed clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular analysis of HPV+ urinary tract carcinomas (UTCs).

Design.—
We identified and retrospectively examined 12 HPV+ UTCs, confirmed by high-risk HPV in situ hybridization.

Results.—
The HPV+ UTCs originated from the urethra (9) and urinary bladder (3); 5 of 12 (42%) presented with nodal metastasis. On morphology, HPV+ UTCs were predominantly basaloid; well-differentiated squamous areas were focally seen. Available immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed strong staining for p16 (11 of 11), p63 (12 of 12), cytokeratin (CK) 903 (11 of 11), and CK5/6 (11 of 11); variable staining for GATA3 (8 of 12) and CK7 (4 of 11); and rare uroplakin II staining (1 of 12). Molecular analysis revealed the most frequently altered genes: KMT2C (42%), PIK3CA (42%), and KMT2D (25%). In contrast to published conventional urothelial and squamous cell carcinoma molecular data, TERTp mutation was rare (8%), and no TP53 or CDKN2A aberrations were identified. During available follow-up (11 of 12; median, 39 months), 6 patients required treatment for recurrence; ultimately, 1 died of disease, 2 were alive with disease, and 8 had no evidence of disease. Finally, we provide 11 HPV− squamous predominant UTCs for IHC and molecular comparisons; notably, a subset of HPV− UTCs was positive for p16 IHC (27%), making p16 IHC a less-specific surrogate marker for HPV status at this site.

Conclusions.—
HPV+ UTCs show distinct clinical, morphologic, and molecular characteristics, suggesting important roles for HPV in UTC.
Integrating Literacy Gardens with the Coffee Value Chain to Promote Sustainable Knowledge Innovation
Authors: Maspul Kurniawan Arif 
Published: April 2024

The study explores the use of literacy gardens in coffee shops as a novel strategy for promoting intellectual development, sustainability, and community participation in Indonesian cities. These integrated places have the potential to significantly alter urban surroundings by combining coffee shops' cultural appeal and popularity with the transformative power of literacy and sustainability. Literacy gardens at coffee shops promote intellectual development and lifetime learning by creating immersive environments in which people may interact with various reading materials. These venues encourage consumers to continuously learn, think critically, and act curious. Furthermore, incorporating sustainable techniques into literacy gardens encourages responsible consumption and environmental knowledge. Coffee shops can be models of urban sustainability by procuring ethically produced local coffee beans, lobbying for fair trade, and implementing environmentally friendly practices. Literacy gardens at coffee shops promote community engagement and social cohesiveness by functioning as cultural hubs for book clubs, literary discussions, and community events. These integrated venues help to promote cultural variety, heritage preservation, and identity reinforcement by highlighting local literature, folklore, and linguistic resources. The incorporation of literacy gardens into coffee shops provides a revolutionary platform for creating knowledge-driven communities, promoting sustainability, and shaping resilient, inclusive cities. Visionary initiatives, such as Anies Baswedan's ambition to create 40 Indonesian cities, illustrate the potential for positive transformation in urban environments by integrating literacy gardens into the coffee value chain.

Gender-Based Power Differentials In Contraceptive Behaviour In India
Authors: Dr. Trishna Mani Thakuria  
Published: April 2024

This paper critiques gender based power differentials in terms of contraceptive behaviour in India between partners involved in sexual relations. Thereby it attempts to look at the factors impedimenting women’s control over making sexual and reproductive health decisions and negotiating protection within their primary or other sexual relationships. Apart from this, the paper tries to locate and link bio-politics of state in the career of contraception in India with socio-cultural conception of contraception deep rooted in patriarchy which negates and impede role of women from the scene of family planning. Accordingly the knowledge, behaviour and attitude of men in regard to reproductive and sexual health of women are an aspect this paper takes within the fold to investigate through available literature. The practised and popular contraceptive methods which at many times are denigrating for women’s reproductive and sexual health as shown in many existing literatures on women health are also being tried to critically view as figurative of patriarchal domain of family planning from a feminist angle in this paper. With these observations where the female body becomes the field of patriarchal surveillance and dominance, an attempt is made to look forward for a shift in outlook arguing for acceptability of contraceptive methods which favour women’s reproductive and sexual health and accordingly lessens their burden of negotiation for safe sex. Hence in this paper, female condom will be seen as an important addition to method mix which is still underused and unpopular in patriarchal country like India but having a great potential to promote healthy sexual behaviours, and increase self-efficacy and sexual confidence in women.

Authors: Iwadi Ibrahim , Ali Dhakir 
Published: April 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of practicing strategic planning methods on crisis management among employees of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Hebron. The explanatory sequential design was used, where unstructured interviews were conducted with experts and specialists to prepare a questionnaire, followed by structured interviews to interpret the results. A simple random sample was selected targeting all employees, totaling 339 employees, and 181 valid questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. The results showed that there was a statistically significant effect of practicing strategic planning methods on crisis management among employees, and the level of practicing strategic planning methods was moderate. The field of work area analysis ranked first in terms of the level of practicing strategic planning methods. The level of crisis management among employees was also moderate, with the field of learning ranking first in terms of the level of crisis management. The study concluded that the practice of strategic planning methods is important in enhancing the institution's ability to manage crises effectively. It also recommended that the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Hebron focus on improving the level of practicing strategic planning and crisis management among its employees. In the context of the recommendations, the study pointed to the need to organize training programs for employees on how to practice strategic planning methods in crisis management, provide the necessary resources to improve the level of crisis management among employees, and conduct more studies on the influence of strategic planning methods on crisis management in various institutions.
Originality/value (mandatory): This study represents a valuable scientific contribution to the field of crisis management. Its results indicate the importance of practicing strategic planning methods in enhancing the ability of organizations to effectively manage crises.
Validity of the Electronic Record as Evidence in Accordance with the Decision of the Palestinian Electronic Transactions Law
Authors: Saabneh Mohammad 
Published: April 2024

The researcher addressed the topic of ‘Validity of the Electronic Record as Evidence in Accordance with the Decision of the Palestinian Electronic Transactions Law’. The researcher used a descriptive, analytical and deductive approach, aiming to explain the nature of the electronic record, the conditions that must be met in it, the procedures for documenting it, and its legal authority. The scholar concluded several results, the most important of which is that the Palestinian legislator approved the principle of equality in function and authenticity between the electronic record and the written record, but it did not specify the nature of the written record that is equivalent to the electronic record. Therefore, the latter may have the nature and validity of an official or customary record or unsigned papers such as commercial books. One of the most important recommendations of the researcher is the Palestinian legislator’s call for the necessity of establishing a special legal system for the electronic record, as it is one of the new means used to preserve electronic civil and commercial transactions and their documents.
Originality/value: No researcher - to the researcher's knowledge - has ever addressed the validity of the electronic record in evidence in a specialized capacity in Palestinian law. Previous studies dealt with the topics of electronic records in comparative Arab legislation.
