Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen,

‘Vitamins’, shortcuts, and athletic citizenship in Ethiopia and Cameroon: considering sporting ethics beyond biomedicine « Vitamines », courts‐circuits et citoyenneté sportive en Éthiopie et au Cameroun : l’éthique du sport, au‐delà de la biomédecine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article argues that the current way of thinking about ethics in sport in primarily biomedical terms, and in particular in terms of the presence of particular pharmaceutical substances, fails to account for broader notions of sporting ethics and fairness in the Global South.

Cosmological constant from canonical transformation in quantum cosmology

Nuclear Physics B
We explore the introduction of the cosmological constant via canonical transformations in cosmology. We consider the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the cold dark matter (CDM) universe and we construct the Hamilton-Jacobi action for the ΛCDM model, where Λ ...

Quasiparticle cosmology

Physical Review D
We consider thermodynamics of the Universe within a quasiparticle approach where the collective dynamics of a system is governed by the thermal mass of the constituents. The spacetime dependence of this thermal mass leads to a negative contribution to the pressure and a positive contribution to the energy density, similar to the effect due to dark ...

Cosmological reionization [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2000
In popular cosmological scenarios, some time beyond a redshift of 10, stars within protogalaxies created the first heavy elements; these systems, together perhaps with an early population of quasars, generated the ultraviolet radiation and mechanical energy that reheated and reionized the cosmos.

Tactile tensions: uncertainty, mutuality, and therianthropic nightmares in Highland Odisha Tact et tensions : incertitude, mutualité et cauchemars thérianthropiques dans les hautes terres de l'Odisha

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In the central highlands of Odisha, India, Kutia Kondh families navigate a precarious reality shaped by productive autonomy, decentralized authority, and material and relational uncertainty. Abundance and destitution are finely balanced in a world where humans, animals, ancestors, and spirits are co‐present and co‐dependent but also opaque and ...
