Abstract This article contributes to conversations on hospitality in educational settings, with a focus higher education and the online context. We integrate Derrida’s ethics of framework practices hospitality, including its affective material, embodied dimension (Zembylas: Stud Philos Educ 39:37–50, 2019). offers empirical examples what we termed ‘virtual academic hospitality’: during series c...

This paper reports on longitudinal research into the implementation and use of the first mobile vehicle mounted data system (VMDS) at a UK fire service. Using insights from Claudio Ciborra’s work, the paper develops a phenomenological ontology for conceptualising the co-constitutive relation between organisational practices and information technology mediated practices.

We review our analysis of the strong coupling limit of compact QED on a lattice with staggered Fermions. We show that, for infinite coupling, compact QED is exactly mapped in a quantum antiferromagnet. We discuss some aspects of this correspondence relevant for effective field theories of Josephson junctions arrays. This work is supported in part by a grant from the M.U.R.S.T.. M.C.D. and P.S. ...
