Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes Autopsie, pratiques mortuaires et soins de santé interculturels dans le sud des Andes péruviennes

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen,

Newest Measurements of Cosmic Curvature with BOSS/eBOSS and DESI DR1 Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Determining 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 ...

Cosmic Chronometers, Pantheon+ Supernovae, and Quasars Favor Coasting Cosmologies over the Flat ΛCDM Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We test and compare coasting cosmological models with curvature parameters $k=\left\{-1,0,+1\right\}$ in ${H}_{0}^{2}{c}^{-2}$ units and the flat ΛCDM model by fitting them to cosmic chronometers (CCs), the Pantheon+ sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe ...

The Unbecoming Ghost: Spectropolitics in the Making and Unmaking of BHU's Bhoot Vidya Ayurveda Certificate Program

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay examines the controversy surrounding the Bhoot Vidya certificate program proposed by the Faculty of Ayurveda at Banaras Hindu University in 2019. Drawing on media coverage, curricular materials, and government policy, I analyze how the debate reveals broader tensions in the politics of contemporary Ayurveda, nationalism, and ...

Effects of Type Ia Supernovae Absolute Magnitude Priors on the Hubble Constant Value

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We systematically explore the influence of the prior of the peak absolute magnitude ( M ) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) on the measurement of the Hubble constant ( H _0 ) from SNe Ia observations.

Reframing the Chipped Edge: Combining Materiality, Ontology, and Embodiment to Rethink Stone Tool‐Making and Human Conscious Behavior in the Paleolithic Past

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining different theoretical frameworks can lead to new insights into the role of material things in shaping human experience in the Paleolithic period. This paper first presents a historical review of three theoretical approaches in archaeology, anthropology, and the philosophy of mind: Material culture and materiality studies, the ...
