William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi and based many of his characters on people from his hometown. He began writing as a hobby with no intention of making money from it. Faulkner wrote about the rural South during a time of change as the region dealt with the legacy of slavery. Some of his early accomplishments included serving in the Canadian and British air forces during World War I. Though he never finished college, Faulkner went on to become one of the greatest American novelists with works like The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying. He pioneered modern writing techniques like nonlinear narratives and developing characters without dialogue.

It covers several topics: 1) Post-war novels in the 1950s showed a nostalgic longing for pre-war times and innocence.

Famous Writers of the 19th CenturyJohn Syers

��

The Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid societal transformation in the nineteenth century. The literary heavyweights of the time captured the turbulent century from a variety of perspectives. These writers provided a broad and interesting portrayal of a world in change through poetry, novels, short stories, and other genres. One of these writers was Charles Dickens, the most well-known Victorian author. Dickens acquired work habits that enabled him to create long and engaging works, despite his rough upbringing. Most of Dickens's novels were published in serial form over weeks or months in newspapers. Dickens used his writings to analyze and criticize the social structure of England at the time. He chronicled Victorian England's socioeconomic realities in famous novels such as Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. His writings frequently discussed class differences, poverty, and ambition that existed during the Industrial Revolution in London. Edgar Allan Poe is another notable writer of the 19th century. Despite not living a very long life, his work positioned him as one of the most significant writers in history. Poe was the father of the short story form, a poet, and a critic. His gloomy literary style was characterized by a fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. He influenced the development of genres, including horror and detective fiction. Poe's tumultuous background has hinted as to how he came up with the dark stories and poems for which he is most known today.

Biographical approach and historical approachJonathan Magallanes

This document discusses and compares the historical and biographical approaches to literary criticism. The historical approach examines the context surrounding the author and time period a work was created, and assumes the relationship between art and society influences a work. The biographical approach focuses on illuminating a work's meaning and intent through examining facts about the author's life. An example is then given analyzing Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn through both the historical context of Twain's life in Hannibal, Missouri, and biographical details. The document concludes by briefly introducing moral-philosophical approaches which interpret works within the philosophical context of their time period.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain

��

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust. Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards. The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks. The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration. Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
