Participation Motivation Of Diverse Pickleball Participants: With A Marketing Implication, Mark Lifang Zhang, Steve S. Chen, Scott Thorton, Eric Street

Findings in Sport, Hospitality, Entertainment, and Event Management

Pickleball has been widely reported as one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. Prior research has largely attributed this growth to the psychosocial benefits that pickleball provides to older adults, including increased social interaction and enhanced overall well-being. However, limited attention has been given to participation motivations and perceived benefits among other participant groups. The purpose of this study was to examine pickleball participants’ motivations, interests, and intentions for continued involvement across diverse demographic groups.

Participants included 431 individuals (54% male, 46% female) representing four age groups, with 67% aged 55 and older. Participants were recruited from two …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Birth weight (BW) is a key determinant of average daily gain (ADG) in piglets; however, hyperprolific sow genetics, particularly under tropical conditions, have increased the proportion of low-birth-weight piglets. This study evaluated factors associated with ADG during the first 7 days of lactation within birth weight categories (1.3 kg). A total of 1,185 piglets from 97 litters that survived to day 7 were included. Factors analyzed were cumulative birth interval, birth order, colostrum intake per kilogram of body weight, rectal temperature at 24 h postpartum, sex, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and cross-fostering. Birth weight, cumulative birth interval, birth order, colostrum …

Breaking The Mold: An Examination Of Student Perceptions With Faculty-Led Native American Student Research Experiences, Caitlin A. Johnson

The Interactive Journal of Global Leadership and Learning

In recent years, Native American students in Minnesota have experienced the state’s widest equity gap. In response, a faculty advisor guided students through an immersive Indigenous research experience using the medicine wheel as a learning model focused on culturally relevant topics. Culturally relevant teaching uses methods and techniques that are building from a student’s interests, values, and strengths helps them to have a more meaningful educational experience by connecting home with school (Gay, 2000). Grounded in culturally relevant teaching theory, this approach connects students’ lived experiences to academic learning, making the exploration of equity gaps particularly meaningful for Indigenous students …

From Framework To Praxis: An Examination Of Integrated Comprehensive Systems (Ics) Equity Reform And Black Student Engagement, Heather L. Dunham

The Interactive Journal of Global Leadership and Learning

For over two decades, the Integrated Comprehensive Systems (ICS) framework (Frattura & Capper, 2007) has sought to promote systemic equity by addressing the organizational structures and practices that shape student outcomes. Despite its promise, few studies have examined ICS implementation in practice, particularly its impact on Black student engagement and academic success. This qualitative case study investigates a racially diverse Midwestern middle school that adopted ICS to shift outcomes for Black students. Grounded in the ICS framework—conceptually informed by Critical Race Theory and Disability Studies in Education—data from interviews, observations, and achievement records reveal that ICS can disrupt racialized routines, …

Re-Reading The World: Why Critical Literacy Must Accompany The “Back To Basics” Movement, Carl Bryan

The Interactive Journal of Global Leadership and Learning

Recent literacy reforms in the United States have prioritized systematic phonics as part of the “science of reading,” backed by extensive evidence on the importance of phonemic awareness and decoding for early reading development. While these skills are essential, narrowing literacy to mechanics alone overlooks its broader cultural and civic purposes. Drawing on Freire’s (1970/2000) conception of literacy as both “reading the word and the world,” this paper argues for a balanced framework that integrates foundational instruction with comprehension, knowledge building, and critical literacy. Building on the work of Luke (2000) and Vasquez (2014), it positions literacy as both a …

Emotional Sobriety As Liberation: A Critical Pedagogy Of Resilience, Carl Bryan

The Interactive Journal of Global Leadership and Learning

This white paper extends the Reclaiming Model of trauma recovery by examining what follows critical consciousness when trauma persists and systems remain largely unchanged. Building on Reclaiming My Story, which framed healing as a Freirean act of reclaiming authorship through naming harm, dialogue, and praxis (Bryan, 2026), this paper addresses how reclaimed consciousness is sustained under ongoing emotional, relational, and structural strain. Drawing on critical pedagogy, trauma scholarship, and a first-person case narrative, it reframes post-trauma survival not as incomplete recovery but as ongoing praxis. The analysis challenges resolution-based and individualizing models of healing by conceptualizing emotional sobriety, relational regulation, …

Adult-Onset Iga Vasculitis Initially Attributed To A Cutaneous Drug Reaction And Diverticulitis, Leila C. Tou, Catherine Grace P. Hobayan, Shane Devine, Sarah Koraym

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), formerly Henoch–Schönlein purpura, is a small-vessel vasculitis characterized by palpable purpura, arthralgias, gastrointestinal involvement, and renal disease. Although IgAV is common in children, adult-onset disease is rare and may be associated with more severe manifestations, particularly renal involvement. In adults, IgAV may be difficult to recognize because of overlap with more common gastrointestinal, infectious, or medication-related conditions. We present a case of adult-onset IgAV initially attributed to presumed diverticulitis and later to a drug eruption following antibiotic exposure. This case highlights diagnostic pitfalls and the importance of early recognition and renal surveillance.

Rare Presentation Of Sequential Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Case-Based Review, Khushi J. Desai, Ansy H. Patel, Patrick T. O’Dowd, Joseph A. Tworek, Preeti G. Misra, Li Ding

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Introduction: Occurrence of 2 (or more) Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma concordantly or sequentially in a single patient is very rare.

Case: An 88-year-old Italian male with a history of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in remission and indolent follicular lymphoma under surveillance, presented with acute autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). While initially speculated to be secondary to follicular lymphoma relapse, stable mesenteric lymphadenopathy compared to prior CT abdomen/pelvis and smudge cells on peripheral smear prompted further evaluation. Peripheral blood flow cytometry indicated a mature B-cell neoplasm, which was confirmed to be chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with a bone marrow biopsy. Minimal …

Progressive Facial Swelling And Airway Symptoms Revealing A Deep Neck Abscess With Atypical Microbiology, Drew Knight, Hakam Sulaiman, Arash Bakian, Ilya Fonarov

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Deep neck abscesses have become less common in the antibiotic era; yet, they still pose major risks of morbidity and mortality if not addressed appropriately. Their proximity to the upper respiratory tract and mediastinal structures further exacerbates this risk. We present the case of a 56-year-old man with a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, who exhibited a two-month history of recurrent left-sided facial edema, pain, and dysphagia. Computed tomography imaging confirmed a substantial fluid collection extending from the submandibular region into the mid-cervical area, from which aspiration yielded 110 mL of purulent material. Cultures indicated Cutibacterium acnes, …
