The start of the Anthropocene Epoch was recently defined as 1610 and this coincides with the career of Shakespeare. Moreover, "Romeo and Juliet" contains a sequence of scenes that actually shows the birth of the Anthropocene Era!
This academic paper shows that "King Lear" is also about the sun vs. coal.

The basic methodology is to use the allegory of Man and the Sun that I found in "Romeo and Juliet" and see how another allegory with the Sun, Coal, and mankind can be found in "The Merchant of Venice".
I myself also must hold out my hat and beg my audience for their support....

Art and Culture - Module 11 - EnlightenmentRandy Connolly
Eleventh and final module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one ever so briefly covers the aesthetics of the Enlightenment. I only had a single lecture available to me so it only really covers the topic in a very cursory way.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.

"Hamlet" functions as a cultural production to subversively train fighters in the centuries-long fight to resist fossil fuels, capitalism and the western symbolic. Horatio is the avatar and Hamlet is the senpai or sensei figure.

I discuss my idea that "Juliet is the sun" is about the problems of using fossil fuels and becoming structurally dependent on them. I include some recent thinking on New Materialism, which addresses issues where humans and non-humans meet in the material word. Thus this theory is perfect for Shakespeare. His plays are allegories about the entanglement of human and non-human.

People are struggling to understand the material world and get close to it. We have sort of lorded it over the material world, the environment, animals, nature....And climate change and other crises result. So people are looking at the material world in new ways. This paper examines some of these ways.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Performing the Anthropocene in "Romeo and Juliet"
1. Performing the Anthropocene in “Romeo and Juliet”
A recent famous article in Nature (March, 2015) entitled “Defining the Anthropocene”
proposes 1610 as the starting date of the Anthropocene Epoch, the era which marks “a
fundamental change in the relationship between humans and the Earth system”(Nature,
2015). William Shakespeare was 46 in 1610. We also know that by 1603, the end of the reign
of Queen Elizabeth I, coal (a fossil fuel) had become the number one fuel for England and
wood (driven by the sun) had become number two as populations in England’s cities boomed
and forests dwindled with economic growth driven primarily by coal. Recent advances in the
study of the relationship between art and energy, such as scholarship produced by the
Petrocultures Conference or the book by Barry Lord “Art and Energy: How Culture Changes”
recognize that not only living standards and technology but also art and culture are affected
by energy inputs into a society. My paper on “Juliet is the Sun: the Secret Anti-Coal Play in
“Romeo and Juliet”” addresses the cultural aspect of energy transitioning and I posit that
Shakespeare’s eyes were wide open as he noticed the Anthropocene Epoch (still nameless back
then) advancing on his city, London, in the form of black coal smoke that blocked the sky. I
propose that the first line of “Romeo and Juliet”: “Gregory, on my word, we’ll not carry
coals”(I.1.i) represents a monumental and heroic cultural human effort to express resistance
against the encroaching invader, fossil fuels, the substance that even now seeks to take our
planet slowly away from us. And I point out a mysterious and formal structure within “Romeo
and Juliet” which is comprised of the scenes where the lovers are together and can be read as
an allegory.
In the first scene, the lovers use religious language to express nature worship, man’s
earliest cultural relationship with the sun. The balcony scene reveals a religious separation
from Juliet as Christianity removed direct nature worship from Western culture. Romeo then
leaves Juliet as the late 1500s and early 1600s heralded a booming era of heady coal-driven
growth in London and then beyond. The Anthropocene Epoch ends (which we are seeing now),
in a slow economic collapse process which features Romeo return to Juliet, who is comatose
but not dead (the sun is still shining but the sun economy is no longer functioning much as
much of it has been buried under cement or asphalt). The key is the line “Juliet is the sun”
which reveals, in a most shining way, the real identity of Juliet, the “star” of our solar system.
