Maps and Diaspora: Affect, Agency and Epistolary Praxis

Area, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Following discussions, interactions and reflections during the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) conference ‘Map Room Conversations’ sessions, this paper examines maps and diaspora through an affective lens. By utilising an auto‐ethnographic epistolary praxis of letter writing and employing the therapeutic prompt, ‘What came up for ...

Observational signatures of a non-singular bouncing cosmology

, 2011
We study a cosmological scenario in which inflation is preceded by a bounce. In this scenario, the primordial singularity, one of the major shortcomings of inflation, is replaced by a non-singular bounce, prior to which the universe undergoes a phase of ...

Observational Constraints on Loop Quantum Cosmology

Physical Review Letters, 2011
In the inflationary scenario of loop quantum cosmology in the presence of inverse-volume corrections, we give analytic formulas for the power spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations convenient to compare with observations. Since inverse-volume corrections can provide strong contributions to the running spectral indices, inclusion of terms higher ...

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.

Challenges to Inflation in the Post-Planck Era

The Astrophysical Journal
Space-based missions studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have progressively refined the parameter space in conventional models of inflation shortly (∼10 ^−37 s) after the Big Bang.

Romano Guardini and Cornelio Fabro on Kierkegaard's Christian Humanism

The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how Søren Kierkegaard's theological anthropology furnished resources for reconstructing Christian humanism among mid‐twentieth‐century Catholic thinkers. Focusing on Romano Guardini (1885‐1968) in Germany and Cornelio Fabro (1911‐1995) in Italy, I demonstrate how each thinker creatively appropriated Kierkegaard's ...

Theological Doctrines as Scientific Theories? Thinking along with and beyond McGrath

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract McGrath's recent analysis of the parallels between scientific theory formation and the development of theological doctrine in The Nature of Christian Doctrine (OUP, 2024) is insightful and largely compelling, but also raises some questions and areas for further exploration. First, there is a remarkable back‐and‐forth between uses of ‘doctrine’

Search for sterile neutrinos in holographic dark energy cosmology: Reconciling Planck observation with the local measurement of the Hubble constant

, 2017
We search for sterile neutrinos in the holographic dark energy cosmology by using the latest observational data. To perform the analysis, we employ the current cosmological observations, including the cosmic microwave background temperature power ...

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.
