X-Ray Emission of Nearby Low-mass and Sunlike Stars with Directly Imageable Habitable Zones

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Stellar X-ray and UV radiation can significantly affect the survival, composition, and long-term evolution of the atmospheres of planets in or near their host star’s habitable zone (HZ).

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Who Does Bogotá “Care” for? Care Blocks, Care Workers and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper critically examines Bogotá's District Care System within the framework of urban social sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focusing on the Care Blocks (Manzanas del Cuidado), it employs a mixed‐methods approach—legal analysis, interviews, testimonies, surveys, and InfoCuidado data—to explore the paradox of a

A Systemic Reflection On Why Biology Is Best : E(s) ∞$$ \infty $$ mc2 Sentience, Consciousness and Transcendance?

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The short essay makes a case that a post biological world will be a devolution. Sentience is a relational process linked with the awe and wonder we experience in relation to one another and our shared habitat. The voiceless need to be protected by extending solidarity on the basis of sentience—a normative plea, but also on the basis of ...

Tidally Torn: Why the Most Common Stars May Lack Large, Habitable-zone Moons

The Astronomical Journal
Earth-like planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of M dwarfs have recently been targeted in the search for exomoons. We study the stability and lifetime of large (Luna-like) moons, accounting for the effects of three-body interactions and tidal forces using

ASTROTHEOLOGY: ON EXOPLANETS, CHRISTIAN CONCERNS, AND HUMAN HOPES

Zygon, 2016
Are there planets beyond our solar system? What may appear quite plausible now had only been a hypothesis until about twenty years ago. The search for exoplanets is driven by the interest in the “habitable” ones among them. Could such planets one day in

Innovation in the Spaces In‐Between: Creating the Nexus Between Human and Non‐Human Actors in Systemic Innovations

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT By combining theories of system thinking with a post‐humanist approach, we established a nexus between human and non‐human systems in the examination of systemic innovation. By doing so, we shed light on the interdependencies that exist between human and non‐human systems and contribute theoretically as well as methodologically to theories on ...
