Rastall’s cosmology and its observational constraints
, 2015 The Rastall's theory is a modification of General Relativity touching one of the cornestone of gravity theory: the conservation laws. In Rastall's theory, the energy-momentum tensor is not conserved anymore, depending now on the gradient of the Ricci ...

Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits
Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

The dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2006 PhDIn this thesis we study the dynamics of cosmological scenarios inspired by quantum gravity. Part I investigates novel features of the semi-classical regime of homogeneous and isotropic loop quantum cosmology.

Is Planckian Discreteness Observable in Cosmology?
UniverseA Planck scale inflationary era—in a quantum gravity theory predicting discreteness of quantum geometry at the fundamental scale—produces the scale-invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with a very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations and a hot big bang leading to a natural dark matter genesis scenario. Here, we evoke the possibility that some

From Occupational Stigma to Mukti: Liberation, Place, and Agency Among Sex Workers in Sonagachi
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines how former sex workers in Sonagachi, Kolkata, India, navigate occupational and place‐based stigma through spiritual repertoires, of which mukti (liberation) is a central tool. Drawing on critical, embedded ethnography across three fieldwork periods (2001, 2011, and 2019) with long‐term engagement in the Freeset community,

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’

Constraining inflationary scenarios with braneworld models and second order cosmological perturbations [PDF]
, 2010 PhDInflationary cosmology is the leading explanation of the very early universe. Many different models of inflation have been constructed which fit current observational data.

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the tension between a universal approach to law and the recognition of indigenous peoples' rights at the Inter‐American Court of Human Rights. The struggle for citizenship in a situation of extractivism and land dispossession demonstrates how identity is mobilized to obtain and attribute rights. The focus of this study is
