Reconstructing Modernism: How Literary Experimentation Created Outlets for Faulkner and Toomer to Reinterpret the American South’s History
Full text linkAn era of literary and artistic experimentation known as Modernism began in the 1920s allowing authors to reinterpret history and society. American Modernist authors William Faulkner and Jean Toomer used a variety of innovative literary techniques to depict post-Civil War Reconstruction (1864-1877) and its aftermath. Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! and Toomer’s Cane examine themes of race, violence, and the Lost Cause by manipulating time and perspective, shifting genres, and introducing new sentence structures. This article situates these novels alongside contemporary historical monographs and articles including works by Eric Foner, Deborah Gray White, Joe William Trotter Jr., and David Blight to demonstrate how Faulkner and Toomer’s works, founded on literary experimentation, align with arguments and observations found in recent historiography of Reconstruction. This interdisciplinary approach allows readers to understand how Modernists’ narrative techniques created new outlets for fiction writers to interact with the past and the society in which they were publishing
New Reaction of Neutron-Proton Conversion
Full text linkUsing our models of composite particles as consisting just of two types of elementary basic charges, +e/3 and -e/3, we suggest that in any nuclear reaction the total numbers of basic charges of each of the two types are conserved. That means that in any nuclear reaction, the basic elementary charges present in the reactants can join in different combinations to form the products of the reaction. This is like a balanced chemical equation where the number of atoms of each element is conserved. We apply this suggested principle of conservation of basic elementary charges in any nuclear reaction to suggest an explanation of the mechanism of the neutron-proton transmutation in the beta-minus and beta-plus decays. We suggest that another type of transmutation reaction, that does not lead to emission of an electron or positron, is feasible. The suggested new reaction of neutron-proton conversion is reversible and can go preferably in that or the other direction, depending on the relative availability of the reactant (neutrons and protons) in a nucleus

An Analysis of Community Health Workers and its Prospect as a Profession
Full text linkThis literature paper reviews the purpose of community health workers, how they impact community access to health systems and services, and the professional prospects for this career path. In this paper, I discuss how community health workers integrate the main pillars of liberation psychology, specifically the concepts of problematization, acompañamiento, and praxis into their day-to-day responsibilities. The goal of community health workers is to help people navigate complex health systems, raise awareness about health-related topics, organize interventions, and advocate for patients to receive health services. Throughout this literature paper, I analyzed the position of community health workers and contemplated my own intersectional identity as a Latina, multilingual woman, and my professional, academic, and personal experience at Suffolk. Through this research, I learned more about the significance of this position and have considered this as a possible future direction for myself
The Lingua Anglica
Full text linkThe term Lingua Franca can be dated back to the Middle Ages, where the “Frankish language” was a French-and-Italian-based jargon spoken between crusaders and traders in the Eastern Mediterranean to optimize communication through a common tongue. Today, English is the Lingua Franca of Europe and, just like the Lingua Franca of the Middle Ages, optimizes communication between those in a culturally and linguistically rich continent. English- due to several historical reasons, including the internationalization of Europe following World War II, competitive economic world powers, such as the United States, the expansion of the internet, among others- has proven to be practical and beneficial in modern Europe. English has become the language of science and business, creating several motivational factors for the language to be taught from a very young age in hope for professional, academic, and economic success in adulthood. This thesis investigates the reasons for the recent, rapid growth of English speakers and proficiency levels in Europe, as well as present and future implications of linguistic homogenization
