From Classroom to Community: Cultivating Critical Consciousness in K-12 Ethnic Studies for Civic and Community Engagement

The institutionalization of K-12 Ethnic Studies in California Public Schools is the culmination of decades of grassroots community organizing to address inequities between students of color and their advantaged peers. Empirical evidence suggests that K-12 Ethnic Studies courses have positive academic and social outcomes for historically marginalized students, yet limited research documents the pedagogical practices that occur in these courses to develop students\u27 critical consciousness and academic achievement tied to civic and community engagement. Mainstream curricula continue to perpetuate race-neutral pedagogy that does not acknowledge the racialized experiences of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, making it necessary to offer curricula that supports students critical understanding of racism and intersectional forms of oppression. Using statistical analysis (e.g., stepwise regressions) and in-depth semi-structured interviews, this mixed methods study examines students\u27 perceptions of Ethnic Studies courses and pedagogy to gain further insight into how K-12 Ethnic Studies educators develop students\u27 critical consciousness tied to civic and community engagement. Moreover, the study aims to understand the pedagogical practices of Ethnic Studies teachers to support their students\u27 socio-emotional health and wellness. Specifically, a case study design focused on the experiences of students and educators who used Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) within an Ethnic Studies course to establish an Undocumented Student Resource Center at their school site during the height of the Trump administration. Analysis of survey results using stepwise regressions indicates that the best predictors of academic achievement were feeling more hopeful after completing Ethnic Studies courses, followed by feeling cared for by Ethnic Studies teachers. The best predictors for developing critical consciousness were students\u27 knowledge being respected and valued by their Ethnic Studies teacher and feeling supported with mental health and well-being. Feeling inspired to learn more about social justice issues and increased pride in culture, language, and racial group were the best predictors for civic and community engagement. Qualitative findings indicated that creating a safe and caring space was essential to support student\u27s development of critical consciousness, which was tied to hope and healing as they engaged in meaningful social justice projects in their school and community. Results from this study can provide educators, teacher education programs, and school districts with insight on how to effectively teach Ethnic Studies, which supports the development of student critical consciousness towards social justice through meaningful civic and community engagement

Use of Air Arthrograms to Aid in Joint Distraction During Hip Arthroscopic Surgery Decreases Postoperative Pain and Opioid Requirements.

BackgroundPositive-pressure air arthrography and venting of the hip capsule are techniques used to decrease the traction forces needed for joint distraction during hip arthroscopic surgery. Little is known about the effects that these techniques have on postoperative pain.HypothesisPositive-pressure air arthrography and venting during hip arthroscopic surgery will decrease patient-reported pain and narcotic requirements in the acute postoperative setting.Study designCohort study; Level of evidence, 3.MethodsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to analyze 35 patients who underwent positive-pressure air arthrography and venting to aid joint distraction during hip arthroscopic surgery versus a group with similar demographics, pathologies, and treatments who did not undergo air arthrography. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) scores and medication administration including narcotic and nonnarcotic analgesia in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were tracked and compared.ResultsThe maximum (7.17 vs 4.97, respectively), minimum (2.43 vs 1.09, respectively), and mean (5.15 vs 3.11, respectively) NPRS scores were all higher in the control group compared with the air arthrogram group (P < .001, P = .007, and P < .001, respectively). The administration of oral morphine equivalents (OMEs) during the PACU stay was significantly lower in the air arthrogram group, with a mean of 36.75 ± 11.37 OMEs, compared with 44.53 ± 16.06 OMEs in the control group (P = .023). There was no difference in postoperative nonopioid medications, such as ketorolac or acetaminophen, given between groups.ConclusionPatients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery with air arthrography and venting used to aid distraction had significantly less postoperative pain and required a lower total dosage of opioids during their PACU stay when compared with patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery without air arthrography

Pigmentocracies: Educational inequality, skin color and census ethnoracial identification in eight Latin American countries

AbstractFor the first time, most Latin American censuses ask respondents to self-identify by race or ethnicity allowing researchers to examine long-ignored ethnoracial inequalities. However, reliance on census ethnoracial categories could poorly capture the manifestation(s) of race that lead to inequality in the region, because of classificatory ambiguity and within-category racial or color heterogeneity. To overcome this, we modeled the relation of both interviewer-rated skin color and census ethnoracial categories with educational inequality using innovative data from the 2010 America's Barometer from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) and 2010 surveys from the Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America (PERLA) for eight Latin American countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru). We found that darker skin color was negatively and consistently related to schooling in all countries, with and without extensive controls. Indigenous and black self-identification was also negatively related to schooling, though not always at a statistically significant and robust level like skin color. In contrast, results for self-identified mulattos, mestizos and whites were inconsistent and often counter to the expected racial hierarchy, suggesting that skin color measures often capture racial inequalities that census measures miss

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Teaching Work: From Face-to-Face to Virtual

The aim of this review is to analyze the publications on the impact of COVID-19 on the virtual work of teachers in relation to work, socio-family and mental health. To review the literature, 32 articles were examined in the following databases: Scopus, EBSCO and Scielo; in English and Spanish, between 2020-2021. The search terms were: "teachers AND Covid-19", "impact of Covid-19 on teachers", "mental health AND teachers", "stress AND COVID-19", "family AND COVID-19". In addition, for the analysis of the results, 14 articles were considered and organized in a data matrix considering the aspects: work life, socio-family and mental health of teachers; framed in the COVID-19 context. As a result, in one study, 36.1% of teachers indicated that they were moderately satisfied with their work because they were not prepared to take on virtual education. Likewise, other authors found that levels of stress and distress were increasing, reaching very serious levels. Consequently, studies carried out on the impact of COVID-19 on teachers' work show that it has significantly affected their daily educational work, but that teachers have found coping strategies to deal with this new social and pedagogical dynamic

Impacto del marketing digital – omnicanalidad del servicio financiero de una agencia bancaria en un centro comercial de la ciudad de Arequipa

El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar el impacto que se está dando por el marketing digital - omnicanalidad del servicio financiero de una agencia bancaria en un centro comercial de la ciudad de Arequipa en el periodo 2021, ante el inminente desarrollo de los canales electrónicos que hacen que las empresas tengan un contacto diario con el cliente, y que la omnicanalidad sea un factor determinante en las operaciones financieras. La unidad de estudio es el usuario del banco BCP de la agencia del Mall Aventura, la muestra estuvo compuesta por 100 clientes, a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta cerrada con 11 preguntas y 2 cuestionarios, sobre el comportamiento de los clientes con los canales electrónicos. Los resultados nos muestran que las personas entre 20 a 40 años son las que efectúan más operaciones en los diferentes canales y harían uso de los canales digitales, en un menor porcentaje se usarían para solicitar productos, existiendo una gran disposición de usar los canales por comodidad, pero los clientes entienden que la información manejada en los diferentes canales no es la misma, por lo cual, van a las agencias a realizar operaciones pese a que se pueden hacer todo en la comodidad de su casa, oficina, o donde haya contacto con un canal del banco. Se determinó que el marketing digital - omnicanalidad y ninguna de sus dimensiones tendría un impacto significativo (p > 0.05) sobre los servicios financieros. Las conclusiones muestran primero que el marketing digital - omnicanalidad no tiene un impacto sobre los servicios financieros, sin embargo, estaría en incremento el uso de los canales para poder realizar sus operaciones, por lo que, hay que manejar la misma información en todos los canales para su correcto uso

Information security methodological proposal, for sending biomedical signals in rural telehealth systems

ABSTRACT Information and communication technologies are revolutionizing the different areas of knowledge, and medicine is an area where the uses of new technologies are put into practice for the well-being of people. But these new ways of using technology produce a high risk when information is required to be transmitted, either due to the loss of information also due to the risk that the information may be altered for different reasons and due to the theft of information. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to have certain mechanisms to be able to achieve the maximum integrity of the information, in this work a methodology is presented to be able to safely transmit information from the different medical teams to medical information based on an organization of the information, in order to present in a practical way its possible implementation in the development of systems to develop TELESALUD, the protocol is based on the good practices provided by the HL7 standard for the management of clinical information as well as the interoperability between the systems of information and medical equipment that are operating remotely, as results a proposal is presented to be able to carry out rural TELESALUD, oriented to the measurement of patients using various equipment and their transmission to other hospital centers for their diagnosis

Edge detection technique on objects present in high resolution optical satellite images

ABSTRACT Satellite images provide information on land cover, these will depend on the spatial resolution for analysis, in this paper we present a technique for image analysis based on edge detection using sobel-based detectors, in their different shapes. High-resolution satellite images provide a level of detail of land cover in the submetric range, which is equivalent to detecting objects that measure less than 1 meter on average, which is interpreted in one pixel in the image; With the analysis of high resolution images, objects such as ships can be determined, which are found in ports as well as on the high seas. Edge detectors applied to objects present in high resolution images help in the analysis of the morphology of the object. In the present study, high resolution images corresponding to boats were analyzed, which allows determining the contour of the boat with respect to sea water. The application of sobel-based edge detectors and their different shapes allowed determining a greater number of areas that corresponds to the perimeter of the ship. The results of the present work can be used in pattern recognition techniques to determine the characteristics of the objects to be analyzed
