Digital health – a new medical cosmology? The case of 23andMe online genetic testing platform by Paula Saukko

“…This article argues that commercial digital health platforms and devices commodify participatory features of the digital creating a new medical cosmology. Drawing on sociology on medical cosmologies, research on digital media and marketing and an analysis of the 23andMe online genetic testing platform, I identify three features of this cosmology. …”

A new look at the Plebanski–Demianski family of solutions by Jerry Griffiths, J. Podolsky

“…The Plebanski–Demianski metric, and those that can be obtained from it by taking coordinate transformations in certain limits, include the complete family of space-times of type D with an aligned electromagnetic field and a possibly non-zero cosmological constant. Starting with a new form of the line element which is better suited both for physical interpretation and for identifying different subfamilies, we review this entire family of solutions. …”

Generalised Robinson-Trautman and Kundt waves and their physical interpretation. by Peter Docherty

“…In this thesis, Newman-Penrose techniques are used to obtain some new exact solutions to Einstein's field equations of general relativity and to assist in the physical interpretation of some exact radiative space-times. …”

Uniformly accelerating black holes in a de Sitter universe by J. Podolsky, Jerry Griffiths

“…This is a generalisation of the C-metric which includes a cosmological constant. The physical interpretation of the solutions is facilitated by the introduction of a new coordinate system for de Sitter space which is adapted to accelerating observers in this background. …”

Colliding plane gravitational and fluid waves by Phillip C. Ashby

“…By way of demonstrating these techniques, an explicit new solution is obtained. A complete integral of a family of solutions which are isomorphic to Gowdy cosmologies is derived, and another general class of solutions which are the analogue of the Weyl solutions for axisymmetric space-times is obtained. …”
