Nature positive? Commodification, speciesism, abjection in Australia’s environmental law reform

open access: yesGeographical Research, EarlyView.
Proposed changes to Australian environmental conservation legislation entrench commodification of nature, speciesism, and the abjection of the nonhuman. These issues can best be addressed through detailed studies of place and relationships between humans and nonhumans, in order to change the culture and politics of conservation legislation (Image ...

Joint Constraints on the Hubble Constant, Spatial Curvature, and Sound Horizon from the Late-time Universe with Cosmography

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this paper, using the latest Pantheon+ sample of Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillation measurements, and observational Hubble data, we carry out a joint constraint on the Hubble constant H _0 , the spatial curvature Ω _K , and the sound ...

The Observational Implications of Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we consider realistic model of inflation embedded in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. Phase of inflation is preceded here by the phase of a quantum bounce.

World Heritage Status and Farmers’ Income: Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design in Colombia

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The core of Colombia's coffee growing region was designated as a World Heritage (WH) site in 2011, making a distinction between “the core” of the region and “the periphery.” However, the coffee cultural heritage does not abruptly stop at the WH boundary but it exists inside and outside the boundary.

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 ...

Brane cosmology from observational surveys and its comparison with standard FRW cosmology

open access: yes, 2013
Several dark energy models on the brane are investigated. They are compared with corresponding theories in the frame of 4d Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology.

Compression‐Expansion: Miniaturization, Modularity, and Logistics Beyond Earth

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If the Cold War space race culminated in a return to Earth, at present we are experiencing a renewed interest in space. Drawing on fieldwork among people working in the space sector in Sweden, this article focuses on some of the imaginaries underpinning this resurgence and the contemporary commercialization of space. Specifically, I hone in on

Is Planckian Discreteness Observable in Cosmology?

open access: yesUniverse
A 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

Scale Invariance in a Perturbed Einstein-de Sitter Cosmology

open access: yes, 1999
This paper seeks to check the validity of the "apparent fractal conjecture" (Ribeiro 2001ab: gr-qc/9909093, astro-ph/0104181), which states that the observed power-law behaviour for the average density of large-scale distribution of galaxies arises when ...

Toward an Ethnography of God

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, anthropologists and theologians have been engaging in conversation with one another. Building on, and branching out from, that conversation, this article calls for a careful ethnographic engagement with not just “God talk” (the literal meaning of theology) but also with the figure of God itself.
