J. G. Ballard’s Dark Ecologies: Unsettling Nature, Animals, and Literary Tropes
Beckman explores the ways that some of J. G. Ballard’s works can be seen as exemplifying a “dark ecology,” a critique of the universalist concept of “Nature” that keeps animals and the nonhuman world distinct and separate from “the human”. Instead, Ballard’s surreal novels can be seen as resisting a fetishized representation of birds in particular, while calling into question the literary tropes of metamorphosis and allegory that have often served to keep nonhuman animals at a distance, “locking them up” discursively, rather than deconstructing the line between “the human” and “the animal.” Beckman prioritizes questions of form and representation in order to track changes in the development of Ballard’s novels over the course of his career. For Beckman, a different form of potential advocacy can be found in Ballard’s work in which postmodern allegory can be aligned with Timothy Morton’s dark ecology, refusing to hold up Nature as an ideal form.</p

The M(17)SW molecular source - internally or externally heated?
From a measurement of the J = 3→2 rotational emission line of hydrogen isocyanide, and a literature value for that J = 1→0 line (Snell, 1979), the excitation parameters for HNC in the direction of the molecular peak as determined by CO were derived. Kinetic temperatures for the optically thick CO and 13CO transitions are ~ 50 K, while that pertaining to HNC line formation is between 20 K and 5 K. The inference that the central temperature of the cloud is lower than that of its surface supports models in which the cloud is heated not from within, but by the O-B association to the northwest

A collection of writings by H. Beckman, with essays on Beckman and his contributions to Dutch corporate accounting law.From publisher's website: De Beckmanbundel bevat een groot aantal publicaties van de in 2021 overleden prof. mr. dr. Hans Beckman op het terrein van het Nederlandse jaarrekeningenrecht. Beckman, die als grondlegger van het Nederlandse jaarrekeningrecht wordt beschouwd, heeft vele bijdragen van blijvende betekenis geleverd aan dit vakgebied. De titel bundelt bijdragen over belangrijke vraagstukken op het gebied van het jaarrekeningenrecht. Ook publicaties die minder goed toegankelijk zijn, maar nog steeds relevantie hebben, zijn daardoor ontsloten en op één plaats bijeengebracht. Hieronder vallen ook kwesties die niet in wetgeving zijn te vinden, zoals formele vraagstukken die samenhangen met het de termijnen en verantwoordelijkheden rondom het opmaken en deponeren van verslaggeving.
