Neutrino’s Non-Zero Electric Potential As An Origin Of Gravitation, Domain Structure And Expansion Of The Universe.
Full text linkThe axial electric potentials of neutrinos as neutral composite structures, while being very small at large distances, do not vanish, and the same can be said about the neutrino “asymmetric dipoles” (paired neutrinos of not the same kind). Depending on the orientation of the “asymmetric dipole”, its far-field electric potential in some direction can be positive or negative, interacting with other “dipoles” at that large distance attractively or repulsively depending on their mutual orientation. The mutual orientation of the dipoles locally (inside a galaxy) might be such that they are aligned and experience the attractive force toward the local center of the system of “dipoles”, and this can be the source of attractive interaction called gravitation. The dipoles near some other local center (in some other galaxy) will be aligned in such a way that they are attracted to that local center (a galaxy) and repelled from other local centers (other galaxies). That can cause the Universe to expand. The Universe can be considered as having a domain structure where the neutral “asymmetric dipoles” are oriented toward the centers of the local domains (resulting in the attraction) while that “local alignments” in different galaxies causes a repulsion between the domains (galaxies).
We think that such EM mechanism of attraction and repulsion of neutral matter can for the first logically explain the coexistence of the attractive local gravitation inside the galaxies and the repulsive interaction between the remote galaxies leading to the expansion of the Universe
From Stardom to Stunted: The Rise and Fall of Sports Icons
Full text linkThis case study is an examination of Aaron Hernandez’s professional and personal life as it was portrayed in the media. This study seeks to examine how the media narrative changed for Hernandez after his criminal activities came to light and how sports media contributed to the rise and fall of Aaron Hernandez’s professional career. The study also aimed to examine how stars like Hernandez can be held accountable for their actions outside their respective sport. To accomplish these goals, the researcher examined media coverage surrounding Hernandez to uncover how media frames corresponded with and contributed to the rise and fall of Hernandez’s football stardom. This study also draws connections to other celebrities whose professional lives were impacted by media coverage to illustrate the role of media in holding celebrities accountable for their actions outside of their work
Why Human Rights? A Philosophical Guide
Full text linkWhy Human Rights addresses universal human rights as moral mandates – rights to justice that all persons have by virtue of their humanity alone. These are not the legal rights of statutes and treaties, but moral rights of the kind Gandhi, King, and Mandela invoked to oppose unjust laws. All such rights presuppose three claims: (1) that some duties of justice apply universally, (2) that all human beings have equal moral significance, and (3) that states must protect or serve certain individual interests regardless of the societal impact of doing so Can these three premises be justified? Is the human equality claim, for example, rationally supportable, or is it no less faith-based than hierarchical doctrines like caste? This book explores the case for these foundational claims along with other philosophical controversies pertaining to human rights. Because these issues lie at the heart of moral and political philosophy, readers will also obtain a broad appreciation of these disciplines and their leading theorists, including Mill, Kant, Rawls, Sandel, Nozick, Rorty, and many others. Written in concise, jargon-free language, this book presents a high-relief map of the philosophical issues surrounding human rights
The State Giveth, The State Taketh Away: State Law, Local Housing Production, And the Right to Appeal
Full text linkOral History Interview with Michael Barretti (SOH-085 video recording and transcript)
No full textIn this interview Michael Barretti, a Suffolk University graduate and professor in the marketing department at the Sawyer Business School, reflects on his time in the military, his career in private industry, and as faculty member at Suffolk University. Barretti details how each role was connected in ways he did not realize, ultimately preparing him for each new position he held, and leading to important life lessons learned. He describes his time as professor at Suffolk University, starting in the late 1990s, including his love for teaching, the numerous institutional changes he witnessed, and the colleagues who most impacted his career. The interview concludes with a discussion of his post-retirement life and advice he would give to undergraduate and graduate students.https://dc.suffolk.edu/soh/1068/thumbnail.jp
