Richard Ford's The Bascombe Trilog from Ego Psychology Perspective by Seyedeh Samaneh Hosseini Ziya, Narges Montakhabi Bakhtvar

“…It can be concluded that Ford's trilogy is looking for a loophole from all the confusion, isolation, and alienation in the postmodern mediatized world of political lies and personal illusions; a spark of integrity that is lit not by self-delusion and shibboleths, but realizing the reality of mortality, the need for communality and nurture.…”

Asymptotic accelerated expansion in string theory and the Swampland by José Calderón-Infante, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela

“…Abstract We study whether the universal runaway behaviour of stringy scalar potentials towards infinite field distance limits can produce an accelerated expanding cosmology à la quintessence. We identify a loophole to some proposed bounds that forbid such asymptotic (at parametric control) accelerated expansion in 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravities, by considering several terms of the potential competing asymptotically. …”
