Narrative reconstruction of the self: Living funerals as rituals of trauma and transformation
Abstract Living funerals mark a radical reconfiguration of contemporary engagements with mortality, transforming death from an imposed ending into an actively authored narrative. This study examines the practice in Hong Kong's hybrid sociocultural landscape, where traditional Chinese death rituals collide with neoliberal selfhood and globalised ...

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate single‐ and dual‐band pulse modules for suppressing extra‐cardiac signal in cardiac MRI, and test their applicability for time‐efficient imaging with reduced FOV in myocardial T2 mapping at 3 T. Methods Outer Volume Suppression (OVS) was implemented using two regional saturation slabs, along the phase‐encoding direction ...
