The Trail to Healing: Environmental Injustice and Trauma in Linda Hogan's Novels
No full textThroughout the course of her four novels, Chickasaw author Linda Hogan represents the trauma among Native American peoples caused by exposure to environmental injustice over centuries. Her fictional characters struggle against a hostile environment to find healing for themselves and their communities. In this thesis, I discuss Hogan's characters and communities in light of various concepts of trauma -- including Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), complex-PTSD, and historical and cultural trauma. I analyze the usefulness of these concepts in studying Hogan's characters, finally identifying Hogan's own vision of healing, which involves community activism for social and environmental justice

No full textAbstract
In this study, extraction and synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles from silica sands have been conducted by means of two different methods, i.e. dry method (method 1) and hydrothermal process (method 2). The basic difference between the two methods is in the extraction step. The two methods were compared in terms of being more efficient, economical, and superior in obtaining SiO2 nanoparticles. The SiO2 nanoparticles were characterized in terms of phase purity, crystallinity, Si-O functional bonding as well as particles size and morphology. The most interesting fact in this study was the formation of both quartz and cristobalite phases within all prepared SiO2 nanoparticles.</jats:p
