Human Services/Social Work Students with Criminal Justice Involvement and Internships: A Closer Look at the Prison to College to Career Pathway
Authors: Rose Lisa Hale 
Published: April 2024

This qualitative study looks at the issues and dilemmas that confront human services students who have had contact with the criminal justice system, through interviews with students and professionals in the field who typically supervise interns. Â Researchers note an increase in the numbers of students, many of who are adult learners, with criminal justice histories, and who have an interest in the helping professions. Interviews reveal unanticipated roadblocks when students must be placed in internships.Â Thus, justice involved students may encounter unforeseen barriers to a career in human services, in spite of the open access community colleges provide, and the human services professional emphasis on social justice. Students describe the process of disclosing their justice involvement as both arduous and healing and profoundly important for themselves, their fellow students, and future clients.Â Researchers also note that agencies do not have a coherent policy around accepting justice involved student interns.

The mass incarceration of minority men and women in America continues to increase yearly.Â While there has been a plethora of studies that consistently confirm that educational programs for incarcerated individuals reduces recidivism, few, if any focus on the education of individuals who are at transitional places of incarceration.Â How does a short intensive college preparatory program at a transitional place of incarceration affect incarcerated menâ€™s perceptions of themselves as potential college students upon release?Â The findings from this study show a positive shift in studentsâ€™ attitude and motivation towards attending college and can help inform the development of college preparatory programs at transitional places of incarceration.

On Love and Learning: Reflections of a white professor "teaching" black adult students
Authors: Clemans Shantih E 
Published: April 2024

Most broadly, this essay is my mission, as a white teacher, to examine my teaching process as a way to understand and improve my work with students, particularly black adult students.Â Throughout these pages, I show examples of my teaching journal as well as examples of student reading reflections during a semester of teaching Cultural Competency in Human Services to a class of mostly black, African American and Caribbean American adult students, pursuing undergraduate degrees in Human Services. Â These excerpts combined with my thinking, questioning, and wondering in response to these examples, I begin a conversation about race, racism, power and privilege, identity and history, topics that are often unspoken or invisible for faculty specifically, but not exclusively, white faculty. Social justice is an ongoing process for both educators and students. Nelson and Witte write that, â€œcritical reflection must be part of any social justice actionâ€ (2017, 16).Â In this example, I show that and critical reflection is an essential first step for Â social justice to begin in a class of adult learners.Â In this essay, I take a close look at my assumptions, ideas, feelings and questions specific to the themes of the course. Â We learn about each other through conversations about everyday, ordinary topics: holidays, family, loves, favorite foods, politics, sports, poetry.Â Small, intimate conversations beginning with openness and wonder spark learning about another person and lay the groundwork for a social justice process. Learning about myself allowed me to be open and curious to learn about my students. This openness paved the way for a relationship based on compassion, interest and care.Â Finally, my intention to is to share this teaching example in order to create a model of sorts that can be replicated or adapted by other teachers working with similar groups of adult learners.
Historic and Contemporary Influences on Reading the Bible with the Poor: Liberation Theology and Poor People's Movements
Authors: Williams Jessica , Biniecki Susan M. Yelich 
Published: April 2024

Reading the Bible with the Poor is a methodology of biblical study rooted in liberation theology and hermeneutics. Leaders within the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival are utilizing this methodology as a tool for organizing the movement to end poverty. This paper will explore the literature of the Reading the Bible with the Poor methodology with emphasis on the influences from contextual biblical study and liberation theology, especially in South Africa and Latin America, as well as social movements of the poor and dispossessed in the United States. Additionally, the paper will include reflections from one author, who is a practitioner of this methodology of biblical reading, on its use as an emancipatory adult education program within the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The analysis and reflections can inform other adult education movements rooted in struggles for liberation and revolutionary critical pedagogy.
Expect the Unexpected: (Re)Defining the landscape of equity work during COVID-19
Authors: Wright Fields Christina , Kelly Mary 
Published: April 2024

No matter where we look, most higher education institutions have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these institutions offer or require a diversity course, where students engage in critical discourse and reflection about issues of equity, privilege, and oppression. In Spring 2020, we were challenged with (re)defining a diversity in education course from onsite to online. Data from two course assignments were collected to understand in what ways did student language around social justice shift onsite versus online. The findings indicate that a change in the learning environment did not impact students’ social justice language and students were able to make connections between social justice or equity issues and the global pandemic. The students became more vulnerable and willing to share their experiences and perspectives surrounding the global pandemic and especially the impact it had on their previous K-12 education, higher education, and future careers.
Whose poverty is it? An Autoethnography
Authors: Brion Corinne 
Published: April 2024

When I first met my husband, he told me, “I have nothing, I do not have money or many possessions.” When he said he had nothing, he literally meant it: no savings, no house, no bank account, no retirement plans, and a job that hardly paid for one meal a day. His most precious possessions were a bicycle and the toolbox he used as a mechanic. He lived with his mom, sister, and two nieces in a one-bedroom self-contained unit they rented. In this autoethnography, I write about my epiphany that stemmed from being married to a Ghanaian man who lived in poverty as we consider it in the West. I use a community cultural wealth model to tell about my transformation related to my understanding of poverty.

Potential of diallyl sulfide from bulbs of Allium parvum to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation in Malassezia furfur MTCC 1374
Authors: KUMARI Saravana P. , MEIYAPPAN E. 
Published: April 2024

The bulbs of Allium parvum are used as a flavoring agent in diet and are conventionally assumed to treat skin infections. The current study evaluates the phytochemicals from organic extract of A. parvum and their antifungal activity against biofilm-forming dermatophytic fungi Malassezia furfur MTCC 1374, yeast found in the normal flora of the skin, causes superficial infections, systemic infections like pulmonary infections, fungemia, etc., and implant-associated infection by biofilm formation. Biofilm formation enables the fungi to escape from antifungal agents and renders resistance to antifungal agents. The phytochemical assay for the organic extract of the onion bulb documented that A. parvum contains phenol (58 + 0.1 mg GAE/g), flavonoids (112 + 0.12 mg QE/g), saponins (1.45 + 0.1 mg AE/g), and tannins (4.1 + 0.03 g TA/g). The FT-IR and GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of specific compounds, alkaloids such as glycosides and quinolones, plant flavonoids such as 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-ester, phenolics, saponins such as butanoic acid and gluconic acid, and organic sulfur compounds such as diallyl sulfide, thiopyran tetrahydro-ester, allyl methyl trisulfide, and allyl methyl di sulfide. These compounds inhibited the growth of M. furfur at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 6.25 mg/ml and its biofilm at a minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) value of 12.5 mg/ml. Further studies required to explore the possible mechanism in controlling the biofilm, so, as to recommend as fungal control agent in medical sector.

Published: April 2024

In this work, we sought to identify and characterize three strains of Enterococcus isolated from camel milk and fermented wheat, based on the capacity to produce bacteriocins and the probiotic potential. Polymerase chain reaction analyses were used to identify bacterial isolates and structural genes of bacteriocins, and also to detect potential enterococcal virulence genes (cylA, esp, gelE, efaAfs, hyl, ace, asa1, vanA, and vanB). The antimicrobial activity of the strains was investigated in solid media by the agar spot method against several pathogenic bacteria. The probiotic potential of the strains was also analysed using low pH (pH 3.0), bile salt resistance, DNAase, and antibiotic susceptibility assays. The strains were identified using rRNA16S sequencing gene, showing their belonging to E. faecium species. Based on PCR results, E. faecium CM9 and CM18 strains included in the genome the structural gene of enterocin A, enterocin B, and enterocin P, while E. faecium H3 possessed enterocin MR10A/B structural gene. The sequence analysis revealed that the H3 strain included in the genome the structural gene of enterocin L50A/B. All the pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were inhibited by the three strains E. faecium CM9, CM18, and H3. In the well diffusion test, the supernatants of the three strains exhibited inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes CECT 4032. The strains showed high tolerance to low pH and bile salts, did not possess DNase, were susceptible to the majority of antibiotics assayed, and did not possess any of the virulence genes analyzed in this study. A promising candidate strains were identified as potential probiotics with anti-bacterial action against pathogenic bacteria.
