Against interpretive exclusivism* Contre l'exclusivisme interprétatif

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Interpretive exclusivism is the dogma that we can only understand cultural systems by interpreting them, thereby ruling out causal explanations of cultural phenomena using scientific methods, for example based on measurement, comparison, and experiment.

Constraints on Coasting Cosmological Models from Gravitational-wave Standard Sirens

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first test of coasting cosmological models with gravitational-wave (GW) standard sirens observed in the first three observing runs of the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector network. We apply the statistical galaxy catalog method adapted to coasting

Presents in dementia: groundless temporalities and ethics in a Danish dementia ward Les présents de la démence : éthique et temporalités sans fondement dans une unité hospitalière spécialisée dans la démence au Danemark

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores temporal and ethical presents in a dementia ward in Denmark. Dementia wards are often portrayed and experienced as uncanny places where time stands still or becomes radically distorted. I approach the ward, however, as an encounter or access into experiences of time that are hidden from view in the outside world where common‐sense

Doing time in old age: unsettling ethics in carceral circuits Vieillir en prison : l’éthique dérangeante des circuits carcéraux

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Since the early 2000s, the proportion of older adults in Japanese penal institutions has risen dramatically, driven largely by high rates of recidivism. This trend has developed alongside growing social insecurity about crime, as well as anxiety about old age and care in a time of increasing neoliberal discourses of individualized risk and ...

DESIVAST: Catalogs of Low-redshift Voids Using Data from the DESI Data Release 1 Bright Galaxy Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
We present three separate void catalogs created using a volume-limited sample of the DESI Data Release 1 Bright Galaxy Survey. We use the algorithms VoidFinder and V ^2 to construct void catalogs out to a redshift of z = 0.24. Excluding voids affected by

Enemies: uneasy accompaniments in late life Ennemis : accompagnements de fin de vie difficiles

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Against a phenomenological orientation to ageing as path or course, a contrastive frame is offered around a figure termed the enemy. Four distinctive ethnographic fragments are utilized: (1) a Polish‐Jewish migrant to Canada in her late eighties who listens continually to the radio and worries over the malign forces in the world that the radio ...

Wstęp do bayesowskiej metodologii współczesnej kosmologii

Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2009
The Bayesian framework is used in reconstruction of modern cosmology which actually concentrates on estimation of model parameters. The authors demonstrate that observational cosmology should be treated as an effective theory of the Universe. It realizes

A new observable for holographic cosmology

Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract The double-cone geometry is a saddle of the gravitational path integral, which explains the chaotic statistics of the spectrum of black hole microstates. This geometry is the usual AdS-Schwarzschild black hole, but with a periodic identification of the time coordinate; the resulting singularity at the black hole horizon is

The Ancient Maya Script of Hand Forms Embedded in Figural Art: A Decipherment of Numerals Signed by the Rulers of Altar Q1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing.
