Persistent Wheezing In An Adolescent Patient, Matilda Dervisevic, Stephen Cliff

Research Showcase

Background: Primary endobronchial carcinoids are the most common primary pulmonary neoplasm in pediatrics. Obstructive tumors can present as cough, asymmetric wheezing, and changes to chest imaging. In children, these symptoms are frequently misattributed to asthma, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment. Early recognition is critical as complete surgical resection is typically curative and associated with low recurrence rates. 

Goal: To describe serial pulmonary function testing across the entire disease course of a pediatric patient with an endobronchial carcinoid tumor.This case highlights dynamic changes in airflow limitation and lung volumes that correlate with the degree of airway obstruction and subsequent …

Reframing The Resident Mindset, Gillian Long Do, Pamela Carpenter Med, C-Tagme, Anik Patel Md

Research Showcase

Background: Physician burnout is an epidemic in today’s world with more than half of pediatric residents meeting the criteria. These feelings start during residency training, with long work hours and limited autonomy. These thoughts can present themselves as cognitive distortions, or automatic, irrational thought patterns that alter our perception. Eventually, these thoughts become ingrained in our subconscious, perpetuating negative emotions and exacerbating stress. However, most residents are unaware of the impact cognitive distortions have on their overall wellness and burnout. There is an opportunity to improve the wellness of pediatric residents by educating them on cognitive distortions and introducing them …

Adapting And Promoting Tourism For Children In Venice And The Lagoon Islands: A Comparative Analysis Of Food-Related Discourse Strategies In English And In Italian, Daniela Cesiri Prof.

International Journal of Islands Research

According to the latest available version of the Annual Tourism Survey drafted by the City of Venice, in 2023, 12,628,079 tourists visited Venice and the Lagoon Islands (Bettiol & Marini, 2025). This survey does not provide data on the age groups of these visitors, but they are available in the previous version of the same Survey (Bianchetto & Marini, 2022), which reports that 29% of tourists were in the 46-71 age group. Therefore, we can presume that, excluding the older age groups, quite a large proportion of visitors is likely composed of young tourists and families with children. This study …

Fostering Student Inquiry With Perspective Taking And Music: The Geography Detective Activity, William Gary G. Cole

Teaching Social Studies in the Peach State

This article introduces the Geography Detective activity, an inquiry-based instructional strategy that integrates perspective taking and music to foster student engagement and disciplinary thinking in a ninth-grade World Geography classroom. Centered on the song “Cecilia” by The Mulligan Brothers, the activity invites students to analyze lyrics as historical evidence, investigate geographical and historical contexts, and construct evidence-based interpretations of time, place, and events embedded within the narrative. Through guided and open-ended inquiry, students adopt the role of “history detectives,” grappling with ambiguity, evaluating sources, and defending plausible conclusions rather than seeking predetermined answers. Grounded in research on inquiry-based learning, perspective …

Why Theory Matters In Infant And Toddler Practice: Unpacking Pikler, Gerber, Gesell, Piaget, & Vygotsky, Derrick Toups

Spark! Innovations in Early Childhood Education: A Research-to-Practice Journal for Educators

This article is intended to help infant and toddler educators deepen the why behind the what and how of their daily interactions by unpacking and connecting the seminal early childhood theories of Pikler, Gerber, Gesell, Piaget, and Vygotsky, what they look like in the classroom, and why they benefit children.

Building Early Reading Foundations In Prekindergarten: Preparing Students For Kindergarten, Denise Rueter, Laura K. Simmons, Cynthia Dicarlo

Spark! Innovations in Early Childhood Education: A Research-to-Practice Journal for Educators

Preparing children for the transition to kindergarten literacy instruction requires intentional support of foundational early reading skills in prekindergarten classrooms. At the same time, early childhood educators must balance explicit instruction with developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) that emphasize play, exploration, and child-centered learning. This article describes instructional practices that support the development of emergent reading skills, particularly letter recognition and phoneme identification, within prekindergarten settings. Drawing on research in early literacy development, the article outlines a small-group instructional routine that includes shared storybook reading with print referencing, phonemic awareness activities, and multi-sensory, play-based practice opportunities. Examples of center-based activities that …

Yoga And Young Children, Jayapriya Ranganathan, Cynthia F Dicarlo

Spark! Innovations in Early Childhood Education: A Research-to-Practice Journal for Educators

Abstract:

This article examines the role of yoga as an effective pedagogical tool to support social-emotional learning (SEL) and physical development in early childhood education settings. Grounded in current understandings of mindfulness and executive functioning, the integration of yoga practices—such as breathing exercises, meditation, and developmentally appropriate postures—can promote self-regulation, attention, and emotional resilience in young children. Drawing on classroom-based observations from a toddler program, the article outlines practical strategies for incorporating yoga into daily routines, emphasizing accessibility, consistency, and engagement through imaginative play and storytelling. The findings suggest that regular yoga practice fosters a calm, focused learning environment and …

Leading With Heart: How New Directors Can Build Trust And Morale Among Child Care Staff, Kamille Watson, Cynthia Dicarlo

Spark! Innovations in Early Childhood Education: A Research-to-Practice Journal for Educators

For both new and seasoned directors, leading a new childcare center requires navigating the complex work of building staff trust and sustaining morale, particularly when teams have endured repeated leadership changes or existing internal concerns. Because early childhood programs rely heavily on relational, emotionally demanding work, effective leadership must be rooted in connection, transparency, and compassionate engagement. This article provides a practical framework to help novice directors cultivate strong, trust-based relationships that support both staff well-being and program quality. Drawing from current research on compassionate leadership, emotional intelligence, and organizational consistency, the article outlines actionable strategies for building rapport, fostering …

Federated Cognitive Twins, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Joanna Johnson, Jayden Johnson

Defensive Publications Series

The current generation of personalization systems is fundamentally constrained by a centralized representational paradigm in which users are reduced to static behavioral embeddings owned and monetized by platform operators. Existing recommender architectures infer preference vectors from fragmented interaction telemetry and optimize engagement through increasingly opaque reinforcement pipelines. Such systems exhibit severe deficiencies in epistemic continuity, user sovereignty, contextual cognition, longitudinal identity fidelity, and privacy-preserving personalization. This paper introduces Federated Cognitive Twins (FCT), a next-generation computational architecture for continuously evolving, cryptographically sovereign, locally anchored cognitive simulations representing human behavioral dynamics, ethical priors, attentional signatures, learning topology, persuasion resistance characteristics, trust propagation …

Suprasegmental Symphony: A Curriculum For Teaching Word Stress, Focus, And Rhythm To Native Chinese Speakers, Beini Ding

Master's Projects and Capstones

Native Chinese Mandarin speakers face significant intelligibility challenges in English due to phonological transfers from their syllable-timed L1 to the stress-timed rhythm of English, a problem often overlooked in instructional settings. This capstone designed, developed, and proposed a targeted curriculum to bridge this gap, Suprasegmental Symphony: A Curriculum for Teaching Word Stress, Focus, and Rhythm to Native Chinese Speakers. Chapter I establishes the problem from both research and personal practitioner perspectives, identifying a specific need for suprasegmental instruction and presenting a theoretical framework that synthesizes Contrastive Analysis and Communicative Language Teaching. Chapter II reviews scholarly literature, analyzes existing curricular models, …

A Journey Into Implicature: Do You Know What I Mean?, Brian Tura

Master's Projects and Capstones

In everyday communication, English speakers often use implied meaning in a multitude of situations and variety of ways. Research has shown that explicitly teaching meta-pragmatic concepts, such as implicature, can have a positive impact on students’ ability to not only understand implicature but can also help them think about English in a different way, providing insight into native speakers’ use of the language. Even with this evidence, implicature is rarely found in ESOL teaching materials, and when it is found, there is seldom any direct discussion on how to appropriately use implied meaning. The purpose of this project is to …
