Proton, Neutron, and Nuclei Models without Strong Nuclear Force
Full text linkWe show that for the particles that have both a charge and a magnetic moment, combining the electrostatic and the magnetic interactions between particles allows to build a consistent description of nuclear structures made of such particles, without introducing the concept of a strong nuclear force. In the modern nuclear physics, protons and neutrons are described as consisting of quarks, the particles that possess the charge and the spin magnetic moment properties. We show that combining the electrostatic and magnetic forces between quarks in nucleons, it is possible to achieve all the required interactions in the nucleons the strong nuclear force is assumed to deliver –to supply both the attraction and the repulsion between the quarks in a nucleon as well as between nucleons in a nucleus. The equilibrium state of the particles in nucleons can be achieved and the equilibrium distance between quarks can be determined using the electromagnetic forces without introducing any additional strong nuclear force. A balance between attraction and repulsion between quarks in an isolated nucleon determines the equilibrium distances between quarks where the net force on each quark is zero and the potential energy of a nucleon is negative and at minimum. We suggest that the combination of the electrostatic force and the force between magnetic moments will work for explaining any system consisting of particles with both electric charge and magnetic moment, including electron and positrons. In another paper, we have shown the electron-positron pairs can be a stable formation, and we suggested that free space might be a network of interacting electrons and positrons at some distances between them, not recombining without external intervention. We hope that comparing the prediction calculated with our models and experimental data on nuclear particles and systems will allow determining the constants related to the magnetic and electrostatic interactions between elementary particles with charge and spin magnetic moment
Electron And Other Quarks As Particles Made Of Elementary Particles Of Charge e/3 And Mass me/6
Full text linkWe suggest that the first-generation quarks are not elementary particles, but structures made of a basic elementary particle of charge e/3 and its antiparticle, interacting via an electrostatic force. The structures are suggested for d-quark as consisting of one positive and two negative basic elementary charges, for u-quark as a structure with one negative and three positive basic charges, for an electron as a quark with one positive and four negative basic charges, and for one more quark made of one positive and one negative basic charge. All the suggested structures are in a spinning motion and are stable. The spins of an electron and other quarks are explained as being the quantized orbital angular momenta of the suggested structures. The mass m of the basic elementary particle had been determined as 1.52·10-31 kg, or one-sixth of the electron mass

Low-Income Caregivers with Young Children Experience Risk and Resilience Through Pandemic-Related Stressors
Full text linkIn March 2020, United States government implemented health and safety mandates, including school closures, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As a result, some caregivers with young children were forced to take on new roles. Low-income households with young children appeared to be more highly impacted than other groups, experiencing acute pandemic-related stressors on top of previous vulnerabilities. Using qualitative analysis, this study examined how low-income caregivers with young children adapted to pandemic-related stressors and how stressors may have altered relationships and well-being in the household (Daks et al., 2020). Two research questions were examined: (1) how have relationships been altered by the pandemic, and (2) how have pandemic-related resource disruptions impacted well-being? Low-income caregiver responses (N= 38) to two open-response questions were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Researchers extracted four themes answering the research questions. Findings delineate that low-income caregivers with increased resources appeared to build stronger relationships with their child/ren, whereas caregivers who encountered more stressors reported reduced feelings of well-being. Additionally, young children experienced feelings of isolation, as they missed relationships outside of the household. When lockdowns were lifted, their relationships outside the household were reported to have improved. These findings can be used to support families and young children in areas where they are most vulnerable post-pandemic
Ford Hall Youth Forum program advertising I Hate War!
Full text linkFlyer for Ford Hall Youth Forum lecture with Montana Congressman Jerry J. O\u27Connell, held at Ashburton Place at Bowdoin Street, on Sunday, April 24th, likely in 1938. Noted that it is the annual senior-junior night, and all Ford Hall members are invited. Transcription: If war breaks out, can the United States stay out of it? If the United States goes to war what will I do? These questions are uppermost in the minds of the youth of the country today. Rearmament, collective action or isolation, battle ships or coastal fortifications, are topics to be heard every day. The Youth Forum is proud to present Congressman Jerry O\u27Connell speaking on this vital topic. Elected to the Montana Legislature when only 21, he is today, at the age of 29, a national figure. His resolute progressive views, and the capacity to fight for these views, places him in the forefront as a leader of the progressive youth of the country. The timeliness and importance of the topic, the appropriateness of the speaker, and the interest of the audience, marks this meeting as an outstanding event of the Youth Forum season.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-docs/1000/thumbnail.jp
Repressive-Responsive Parameters of Autocracies in Asia: Vietnam and China Compared
Full text linkMoving beyond crude dichotomies of regime types, this article examines how state strategies of repression and responsiveness vary across autocracies in Asia. Specifically, Vietnam and China show significant variance on the reactive-institutionalized spectrum when it comes to land expropriation. Whereas Vietnam has systematically strengthened mechanisms against arbitrary land seizures, China has reactively opted for sketchy and ad-hoc reforms to curtail land conflicts. This article discloses the repressive-responsive parameters of autocracies in Asia through an original framework that allows for sharper analytical differentiation of how autocracies differ.https://dc.suffolk.edu/rifellows/1003/thumbnail.jp
