Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.This article contributes to rethinking the dichotomy between informal sociality and ritual formality by examining the occasional ritual encounters surrounding spirit‐tablet inscription in Chinese Buddhist temples. Rather than viewing rituals as enactments of established orders, it presents ritual engagement as a contingent process of relational ...

The Astrophysical Journal LettersDetermining the cosmic curvature (Ω _K ) independent of cosmological models plays a key role in revealing the background physics of our Universe. In this Letter, we propose an improved method to measure the cosmic curvature using the observations of ...

Observational constraints on entropic cosmology
Physics Letters BIn this work, we derive a generalized modified Friedmann equation based on an entropy-area relation that incorporates established modifications, such as volumetric, linear, and logarithmic terms, in addition to novel entropic modifications that might ...

Late Decaying Dark Matter, Bulk Viscosity and the Cosmic Acceleration
, 2008 We discuss a cosmology in which cold dark matter begins to decay into relativistic particles at a recent epoch (z < 1). We show that the large entropy production and associated bulk viscosity from such decays leads to an accelerating cosmology as ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Russia is consistently a top migration destination. While most migrate to Russia from other post‐Soviet countries, a small but highly visible group of the Russian‐speaking diaspora has returned from Europe and North America. Lauded in Russian media as ‘ideological migrants’, their narratives at first glance echo those of the state as they claim to flee

Observational cosmology and the cosmic distance-duality relation
, 2014 We study the validity of cosmic distance duality relation between angular diameter and luminosity distances. To test this duality relation we use the latest Union2 Supernovae Type Ia (SNe Ia) data for estimating the luminosity distance. The estimation of

Neutrino physics from cosmological observations [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2003 We review the current status of neutrino cosmology, focusing mainly on the question of the absolute values of neutrino masses and the possibility of a cosmological neutrino lepton asymmetry.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In June 2023, the Laje River, located in the traditional territory of the Wari’ Indigenous people in Rondônia, Brazil, was declared a legal entity, an earth being, with rights, following the co‐ordinated action of an indigenous councillor and non‐indigenous activists.

Observational Exclusion of a Consistent Quantum Cosmology Scenario
, 2015 It is often argued that inflation erases all the information about what took place before it started. Quantum gravity, relevant in the Planck era, seems therefore mostly impossible to probe with cosmological observations.
