The ethics of responding to democratic backsliding abroad

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The past decade has seen a marked shift as many previously liberal democratic states have backslidden, taking authoritarian turns. How should liberal actors respond to democratic backsliding by others? Although it might seem that it is vital for liberal actors to react robustly to avoid complicity or to maintain their liberal integrity, this ...

The S-PLUS 12-band Photometry as a Powerful Tool for Discovery and Classification: Ten Cataclysmic Variables in a Proof-of-concept Study

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Multiband photometric surveys provide a straightforward way to discover and classify astrophysical objects systematically, enabling the study of a large number of targets at relatively low cost.

Constraining the White-dwarf Mass and Magnetic Field Strength of a New Intermediate Polar through X-Ray Observations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report timing and broadband spectral analysis of a Galactic X-ray source, CXOGBS J174517.0−321356 (J1745), with a 614 s periodicity. Chandra discovered the source in the direction of the Galactic Bulge.

Parallax and Distance Estimates for Fourteen Cataclysmic Variable Stars

, 2003
I used the 2.4 m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory in an attempt to measure trigonometric parallaxes for 14 cataclysmic variable stars. Techniques are described in detail.

Brown Dwarfs and the Cataclysmic Variable Period Minimum [PDF]

, 1999
Using improved, up-to-date stellar input physics tested against observations of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs we calculate the secular evolution of low-mass donor cataclysmic variables (CVs), including those which form with a brown dwarf donor.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Exploring Tolerance Towards Corruption in the European Union Through Experienced Corruption, Perceived Corruption and Institutional Trust

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corruption is a major problem that undermines the foundations of democracy and reduces citizens' trust in institutions. However, even in the world's most advanced countries, citizens accept certain levels of corruption. This tolerance towards corruption (TC) reduces the impact of anti‐corruption actions and ends up giving a patina of normality
