Coaching One's Own Child: An Ethnographic Study Of Parent-Coach Experiences In Youth Sport, Dr. Sandra Alspach, Dr. Jon Coles

Findings in Sport, Hospitality, Entertainment, and Event Management

Over 27 million children in the United States are playing youth sports.  Many of those youth are being coached by their own parent. Although this phenomenon is commonplace, little research has been done to study how parent-coaches balance their dual roles.  To better understand communication, roles, and relationship dynamics in youth sports environments, this study examined the experiences of parent-coaches and their athlete children. There were two ethnographic investigations. In the first, 76 participants (34 parent-coaches and 42 child-athletes) ranging from age 8 to age 80 participated in semi-structured Zoom interviews. Personal networks and snowball sampling were used to invite …

Exploring Stress And Mindfulness In Central Asia: Perspectives Of English Language Students In Uzbekistan, Laurie A. Wolfe, Rakhmatullo Akhmedov

The Interactive Journal of Global Leadership and Learning

Stress is a growing concern among university students worldwide, yet little is known about how stress is conceptualized and experienced within Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan. This study explores how Uzbek university students understand and experience stress, identifies the primary sources of stress in their daily lives, and examines their perceptions of mindfulness as a potential stress‑reduction strategy. Participants were 60 students, primarily Muslim women, at a large public university in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Open‑ended questions on a post‑intervention survey were analyzed using a combination of deductive and inductive coding. Students most frequently described stress in emotional terms, including irritability, sadness, and …

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 …

Provocable Forgiveness In Noisy Brand--Consumer Systems:An Agent-Based Study Of Repeated Interaction, Tahere Ahmadiyan, Hamidreza Navidi, Behbod Keshavarzi

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS)

Repeated brand--consumer exchange is often treated as a managerial problem of loyalty, recovery, and trust. It can also be read as a small complex system: many local decisions about cooperation, retaliation, and forgiveness accumulate into market-level selection. This study uses that perspective to examine which relational rules survive when communication is imperfect. Eight canonical Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma strategies are translated into marketing archetypes and evaluated through round-robin tournaments, a six-level noise sweep, proportional-fitness ecological dynamics, and finite-population Moran invasion tests. The tournament leaderboard is calculated without same-strategy self-play, so that reported payoffs reflect inter-archetype competition rather than homogeneous self-coordination. At …

Dynamic Transaction Authorization Using Continuous Analysis Of Tokenized Behavioral Data, Sree Sitamahalakshmi Moguluru

Defensive Publications Series

Static, point-in-time transaction validation methods may be susceptible to in-session fraud, such as account takeovers, and can impose friction on legitimate users. To support continuous transaction authorization, systems and methods can analyze tokenized behavioral data. On a user device (e.g., a smartphone, smart watch, or wearable device), hardware sensors can capture behavioral data that is converted into privacy-preserving tokens before transmission to a server. A server-side infrastructure may use these tokens to build a real-time behavioral model for a session. During a transaction, this model can be compared to a user's historical baseline to compute a dynamic confidence score. This …

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.

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, …

Corynebacterium Bacteremia In A High-Risk Host: A Diagnostic Dilemma Of Contamination Versus True Infective Endocarditis, Arman Manjikian, Christopher Aboujaoude, Nicole Rock, Don Pepito

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Corynebacterium species are often regarded as skin contaminants when isolated from clinical cultures. However, in select high-risk patients, these organisms can lead to significant infections, including infective endocarditis. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities, including end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis and an exposed tunneled central catheter, who developed Corynebacterium-associated native mitral valve endocarditis requiring surgical intervention. Despite prompt antimicrobial therapy and bioprosthetic valve replacement, her hospital course was complicated by heart block, empyema, and eventual cardiac arrest. This case highlights the importance of recognizing Corynebacterium as a potential pathogen in vulnerable patients …

A Case Of Anti-Srp Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy Following Suspected Coxsackie B4 Infection: Exploring A Viral Trigger Hypothesis, Marwan Ahmed, Ruba Salameh, Soziema Salia, Brent T. Harris, Christopher J. Haas, Anees Siddiqi

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies that can present with rhabdomyolysis. We report a 43-year-old woman with rapidly progressive proximal muscle weakness following a flu-like illness. Laboratory evaluation revealed markedly elevated creatine kinase (22,207 U/L) and transaminases, with positive anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) and Coxsackie B4 antibodies. Muscle biopsy demonstrated extensive necrosis, regeneration, and endomysial lymphocytic infiltration, confirming IMNM. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone, IVIG, and rituximab, followed by oral steroid taper and mycophenolate. At six-month follow-up, she showed significant clinical and biochemical improvement. This case highlights a potential viral-triggered autoimmune mechanism, …

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma Of The Breast In A Patient With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection: A Case Report, Ravneet K Dhanoa, Bipasha Goyal, Prateek Jain, Marilyn Baird-Howell, Mounika Gangireddy

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Primary breast lymphomas account for less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 0.04–0.5% of all malignant breast neoplasms. We report a case of breast extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) in a 60-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. After comprehensive evaluation excluded other known etiologies, chronic HCV infection emerged as the most plausible contributing factor. Epidemiologic and biological evidence supports an association between HCV and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, particularly marginal zone lymphomas. Our case adds to the limited literature suggesting that HCV should be considered as a potential etiological factor in breast EMZL. We discuss the emerging …

A Tight Squeeze – Cardiac Tamponade In A Scleroderma Patient, Ifrah Nadeem, Charles E Geringer

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease marked by multiorgan fibrosis, including cutaneous involvement, and vasculopathy. Primary heart involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc-pHI) includes heart failure, arrhythmia, pericarditis, pericardial effusion, valve disorders, and myocarditis. SSc-pHI remains a leading cause of mortality in this population. Pericardial effusion in SSc is usually associated with heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and end-stage kidney disease. Cardiac tamponade is a rare initial presentation of SSc-pHI but carries a worse prognosis. Diagnosis is often challenging due to subclinical manifestations and requires advanced imaging modalities such as transthoracic echocardiography with tissue doppler and cardiac magnetic resonance …
