Authors: Pansak Wanwisa , Takrattanasaran Natta , Nongharnpitak Nuntapon , Khongdee Nuttapon 
Published: March 2024

AbstractRapid economic development and urbanization are changing land management systems in many countries, including Thailand, and climate change has emerged as a significant source of risks. These changes are having major impacts on the status of soil resources in Thailand. Therefore, the soils are under increasing pressure of intensification leading to soil degradation including erosion, contamination, the decline in nutrients, compaction, salinization, acidification, and biodiversity loss of soils. Therefore, sustainable soil management is important for maintaining the capacity of soil to function according to its potential and management strategies, which is essential for the maintenance of human well-being and the conservation of biodiversity. In addition, any assessment of soil threats, measures against soil threats, and their effects on soil functions and ecosystem services should consider local conditions, national and global strategies e.g. biophysical characteristics, economic society, policies, and laws. In Thailand, soil and land protection are regulated by legislation and land use planning document such as the Forest Act and the National Forest Act, the Law on Environmental Protection, the Law on Land Protection, and the Law on Agricultural Land. Land use planning regulations represent the basis for supervision of the land use of all types and purposes and the management of natural resources, implementing guidelines for space preservation and protection, and measures of sustainable use of land resources. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to determine the status of sustainable soil management efforts and raise awareness of soil in Thailand.
PFAS in Soil and Groundwater: Comprehensive Challenges and Progress in Regulation and Management in Germany
Authors: Biegel-Engler Annegret , Frauenstein Joerg 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPer and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are substances of very high concern. Because of their persistence and their ubiquitous presence in the environment they are called forever chemicals. Some substances of the large group of PFAS are bioaccumulating and toxic, other substances are very mobile in soil and reach groundwater easily. Humans take up PFAS mainly via food including drinking water, which is often produced from groundwater. Thresholds for PFAS in drinking water are so low that environmental concentrations are often already above those levels. Thus, strategies to deal with PFAS in soil and groundwater are urgently needed. The number of (suspected) sites contaminated with PFAS is rising. The reason is that the awareness about PFAS is increasing and thus more areas are being investigated. However, clean-up and remediation of contaminated sites is costly and difficult, if possible at all. Until the implementation of legally binding values for PFAS in soil and groundwater and their verified derivation. a German guideline for PFAS assessment currently provides available media-related assessment bases and criteria. This paper covers the current state of knowledge on PFAS and suggests solutions for dealing with PFAS contaminated soils and groundwater.
What Place for Contractual Commitments in the Protection of European Agricultural Soils? The Example of Carbon Sequestration
Authors: Langlais Alexandra 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe contractual formula is becoming increasingly attractive to stakeholders, especially when it is associated with a booming market, as is the case for carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Contracts have developed in tandem with the interest of this natural sequestration by agricultural soils to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The parallel arrival of draft legislation with binding targets does not oppose two modes of legal intervention. On the contrary, it actually tends to strengthen the legitimacy of each of them in favour of increased protection of agricultural soils, although many questions remain unanswered.
Soil Protection Law in Japan
Authors: Ishimaki Miho 
Published: March 2024

AbstractEnvironmental law has developed in parallel with the process of combating environmental pollution in Japan. However, while soil contamination has been recognized as a form of environmental pollution, legislation for measures against soil contamination has lagged far behind. Soil contamination on agricultural land was addressed with legislation in 1970, but soil contamination in urban areas was only addressed with legislation in 2002, with the enactment of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. Even the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act faces major challenges as it does not apply to voluntary investigations and measures. This is a significant concern because among the total number of soil contamination investigations and countermeasures, the number of voluntary measures significantly exceeds the number of measures taken under the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. Moreover, the liability scheme is such that liability is weighted more toward landowners than polluters.
Language, Settings, and Networks for Early Modern Private Conversations
Authors: Ljungberg Johannes , Klein Käfer Natacha 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis chapter introduces the research area by proposing the angle of privacy to analyse the subject of everyday conversations in early modern Europe. Such conversations are especially hard to tackle, as they were very rarely recorded, either for being considered trivial exchanges or for dealing with issues that people preferred to keep out of public scrutiny. Nevertheless, through a careful exploration of diaries, court cases, art and material culture, as well as literary and intellectual developments, it is possible to peek through the veil of privacy in early modern conversations. Against this background, the chapter presents the overall aim of the volume to examine the language, settings, and networks of conversations perceived as private.
Towards Further Studies of Private Conversations
Authors: Bruun Mette Birkedal , Ljungberg Johannes , Klein Käfer Natacha 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis epilogue wraps up the findings of the volume by weaving together key elements of the previous chapters. It first provides a summary of the different reasons for talking in private, locations where the exchanges took place, and expectations connected to private conversations that are presented in the case studies. The typically dual character of private conversations as a danger—but also as a useful tool—is discussed with reference to evidence from the volume which points in different directions, not least highlighting the positive aspects of talking in private. The text also contains a comparative reflection on how conversations functioned as a tool for boundary drawing in the various case studies.
“So that I Never Fail to Warn and Admonish”: Pastoral Care and Private Conversation in a Seventeenth-century Reformed Village
Authors: Bardenheuer Markus 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis chapter demonstrates how the pastor and parishioners of an early modern Swiss village negotiated privacy and exposure in their shared mission to create a Christian community. The chapter describes how, after witnessing the suicide of the school teacher of his parish in 1631, village pastor Hans Rudolf Fischer decided to keep a diary of the personal encounters with his parishioners, as well as minutes of the monthly local moral court sessions over which he presided. His notes, which span a period of ten years, present Fischer as a pastor eager to listen to and alleviate the sorrows of his parishioners, yet by no means shy to reprimand privately and publicly those he considered to lead a sinful life. The contribution shows how villagers established their own informal networks through private conversations and how parishioners and pastors were able to access, distribute, or control private information within the confines of their roles within the village.
Marital Conversations: Using Privacy to Negotiate Marital Conflicts in Adam Eyre’s Diary, 1647–1649
Authors: Simon Katharina 
Published: March 2024

AbstractEmbracing private conversations as tools for conflict resolution, this chapter dissects a particular case of marital dispute in “Using Privacy to Negotiate Marital Conflicts in Adam Eyre’s Diary, 1614–1661”. This chapter retraces the role of privacy in the marital conflict documented in Yorkshireman Adam Eyre’s diary, “A Dyurnall, or catalogue of all my accions and expenses”, which survives for the years 1647–1649. His diary allows us to investigate their conflict, but also their joint attempts to resolve it. In various conversations, they discussed current disputes. Simon argues that the privacy of their household provided a protective space for negotiation, which allowed neglecting, bending, or adapting contemporary gender roles or norms of marital conduct.
The uneven distribution of refugial endemics across the European Alps suggests a threefold role of climate in speciation of refugial populations
Authors: Kadereit Joachim W. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractA little more than 10% of the vascular plant flora native to the European Alps is endemic to this area. It has long been noticed that the distribution of endemics across the Alps is very uneven. While most endemics are found along the southern edge of the Alps, with some also on its western, eastern, and northeastern edges, the northern edge of the Alps more or less between Lake Geneva in the west and Lake Traun in the east harbours almost no endemics. The distribution of endemics in the Alps has often been related to the location of glacial refugia. Accordingly, the virtual absence of endemics from the northern edge of the Alps has been explained with the unsuitability of climatic conditions for glacial survival of alpine plants there. After discussing evidence for the existence of glacial refugia for alpine species along the northern edge of the Alps and north of the Alps, I will examine how these refugia differed from refugia along the southern edge of the Alps. I conclude that the uneven distribution of endemics in the Alps is best explained by the different climate through time north and south of the Alps. These climatic differences affected the spatial structure and extent of refugia, the length of isolation of refugial populations, and selective conditions in refugia.

Abstract
Objective
The best time for cranioplasty (CP) after decompressive craniectomy (DC) is controversial, and there are no authoritative guidelines yet. Both complications as well as outcome may depend on the timing of CP. The aim of this single-center study was to evaluate the impact of late CP on procedural safety as well as on patient outcome.

Methods
All patients receiving CP at a tertiary university medical center between 01/2015 and 12/2022 were included retrospectively. Patients’ conditions were assessed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) prior to CP and 6 months after. Baseline characteristics, indication for DC, time from DC to CP, and postoperative complications according to the Landriel Ibañez Classification were analyzed.

Results
CP was performed in 271 patients who previously underwent DC due to traumatic brain injury (25.5%), ischemic stroke (29.5%), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (26.9%), or intracerebral hemorrhage (18.1%). The median interval between DC and CP was 143 days (interquartile range 112–184 days). Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed a cut-off of 149 days, where CP performed within 149 days after DC led to an improvement on mRS after CP (p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, additional rehabilitation after and better mRS before CP were independently associated with improvement of outcome. The rate of complications was similar between early and late CP (24.8% and 25.4%, respectively, p = 0.562).

Conclusions
Late cranioplasty is a safe procedure. The outcome was improved when additional rehabilitation was performed after cranioplasty and was not associated with the timing of cranioplasty.
Essential hereditary undecidability
Authors: Visser Albert 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper we study essential hereditary undecidability. Theories with this property are a convenient tool to prove undecidability of other theories. The paper develops the basic facts concerning essentially hereditary undecidability and provides salient examples, like a construction of essentially hereditarily undecidable theories due to Hanf and an example of a rather natural essentially hereditarily undecidable theory strictly below . We discuss the (non-)interaction of essential hereditary undecidability with recursive boolean isomorphism. We develop a reduction relation essential tolerance, or, in the converse direction, lax interpretability that interacts in a good way with essential hereditary undecidability. We introduce the class of $$\Sigma ^0_1$$

Σ

-friendliness is sufficient but not necessary for essential hereditary undecidability. Finally, we adapt an argument due to Pakhomov, Murwanashyaka and Visser to show that there is no interpretability minimal essentially hereditarily undecidable theory.
Diameter estimates for surfaces in conformally flat spaces
Authors: Flaim Marco , Scharrer Christian 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms of the integral of the mean curvature and of the length of its boundary. Of particular interest is the application of the inequality to minimal surfaces in the three-sphere and in the hyperbolic space. Here the result implies an a priori estimate for connected solutions of Plateau’s problem, as well as a necessary condition on the boundary data for the existence of such solutions. The proof follows a construction of Miura and uses a diameter bound for closed surfaces obtained by Topping and Wu–Zheng.
Historische Entwicklung in Diagnostik und Therapie bei Präexzitationssyndromen (WPW)
Authors: Rudic Boris , Borggrefe Martin 
Published: March 2024

ZusammenfassungWolff, Parkinson und White beschrieben 1930 das Syndrom, das nach ihnen benannt wurde. Die Mechanismen der supraventrikulären Tachykardien wurden schon durch brillante Interpretation des Oberflächen-EKGs durch Pick und Langendorf erforscht. Wellens und Durrer analysierten invasiv mittels programmierter Stimulation die Rhythmusstörungen beim WPW-Syndrom. In der BRD waren die Arbeitsgruppen um Seipel und Breithardt sowie Neuss und Schlepper aktiv in der Erforschung der Tachykardiemechanismen und der Effekte von Antiarrhythmika. Nach der ersten operativen Durchtrennung einer akzessorischen Leitungsbahn durch Sealy 1967 etablierten sich operativ tätige elektrophysiologische Teams auch in der BRD, u. a. in Hannover und Düsseldorf. Die Gleichstromkatheterablation hielt Einzug in der kurativen Therapie des WPW-Syndroms durch Morady und Scheinman. Wegen der Nebenwirkungen des Barotraumas bei Gleichstromablation wurden alternative Therapiestrategien erforscht. 1987 hielt die Radiofrequenzablation (RF-Ablation) Einzug in die nichtpharmakologische Therapie des WPW-Syndroms und hat sich seither als Therapiestandard von akzessorischen Leitungsbahnen in allen Lokalisationen etabliert.

Abstract
Purpose
Optimal use of bone-modifying agents (BMAs) in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors is uncertain in some aspects: the drug choice; the planned treatment duration and long-term therapy; the prevention and management of possible side effects, including renal toxicity, hypocalcaemia, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

Methods
Italian oncologists were invited to fulfil a 24-question web survey about prescription of BMAs for bone metastases of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other solid tumors. Prevention and management of side effects were also investigated.

Results
Answers of 191 oncologists were collected. BMAs are usually prescribed at the time of diagnosis of bone metastases by 87.0% (breast cancer) and 76.1% (solid tumors except breast and prostate cancers) of oncologists; the decision is more articulated for prostate cancer (endocrine-sensitive versus castration-resistant). The creatinine level (32.3%), the availability of patient venous access (15.8%), and the type of primary neoplasm (13.6%) are the most reported factors involved in choice between bisphosphonates and denosumab. Zoledronic acid every 3 months was considered as a valid alternative to monthly administration by 94% of Italian oncologists. Oncologists reported a good confidence with measures aimed to prevent MRONJ, whereas uncertainness about prevention and management of hypocalcemia was registered.

Conclusion
Italian oncologists showed a high attitude in prescribing bisphosphonates or denosumab at the time of diagnosis of bone metastases, with a large application of preventive measures of side effects. Further studies are needed to investigate some controversial aspects, such as optimal drug treatment duration and long-term drug schedules.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Objectives
The present study aims to assess the impact of bilateral and high oblique sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO/HSSO), as well as displacement distances and directions on the expected and achievable bone contact area (BCA) and changes in the intercondylar distance (ICD). The primary question addressed is whether mandibular splitting through BSSO results in a greater BCA and/or ICD when compared to splitting through HSSO.

Materials and methods
Totally 80 mandibular displacements were performed on 20 fresh cadavers, for each subject, four splints were produces to facilitate mandibular advancement as well as setbacks of 4 and 8 mm. Pre- and postoperative CBCT scans were performed to plan the surgical procedures and to analyze the expected and achieved BCA and ICD.

Results
Regarding the maximum mandibular displacement, the expected BCA for HSSO/BSSO were 352.58 ± 96.55mm2 and 1164.00 ± 295.50mm2, respectively, after advancement and 349.11 ± 98.42mm2 and 1344.70 ± 287.23mm2, respectively, after setback. The achieved BCA for HSSO/BSSO were 229.37 ± 75.90mm2 and 391.38 ± 189.01mm2, respectively, after advancement and 278.03 ± 97.65mm2 and 413.52 ± 169.52 mm2, respectively after setback. The expected ICD for HSSO/BSSO were 4.51 ± 0.73 mm and 3.25 ± 1.17 mm after advancement and − 5.76 ± 1.07 mm and − 4.28 ± 1.58 mm after setback. The achieved ICD for HSSO/BSSO were 2.07 ± 2.9 mm and 1.7 ± 0.60 mm after advancement and − 2.57 ± 2.78 mm and − 1.28 ± 0.84 mm after setback. Significant differences between the BCA after HSSO and BSSO were at each displacement (p < 0.001), except for the achieved BCA after 8-mm setback and advancement (p ≥ 0.266). No significant differences were observed regarding ICD, except for the expected ICD after 8-mm setback and advancement (p ≤ 0.037).

Conclusions
Compared to the virtual planning, the predictability regarding BCA and ICD was limited. ICD showed smaller clinical changes, BCA decreased significantly in the BSSO group.

Clinical relevance
BCA and ICD might have been less important in choosing the suitable split technique. in orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Introduction
In 2020, the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) approved the reimbursement of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including fremanezumab, in patients with a Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) score ≥ 11, with prescription renewals for up to 12 months in patients with ≥ 50% reduction in MIDAS score at Months 3 and 6. In this sub-analysis of the Pan-European Real Life (PEARL) study, we provide real-world data on fremanezumab use in Italian routine clinical practice (EUPAS35111).

Methods
This first interim analysis for Italy was conducted when 300 enrolled adult patients with episodic or chronic migraine (EM, CM) completed 6 months of treatment with fremanezumab. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 50% reduction in monthly migraine days (MMD) across the 6 months post-fremanezumab initiation. Secondary endpoints include: proportion of patients achieving ≥ 50% reduction in MIDAS score at Months 3 and 6, and mean change from baseline across Months 1–6 in MMD and headache-related disability. Safety was assessed through adverse events (AEs) reported.

Results
Of 354 patients enrolled at Italian centers, 318 (EM, 35.5%, CM, 64.5%) were included in the effectiveness analysis. Of patients with available data, 109 (61.2%) achieved the primary endpoint. 61.0% and 65.1% achieved ≥ 50% reduction in MMDs at Months 3 and 6, respectively; 79.9% and 81.0% experienced ≥ 50% reduction in MIDAS at the same timepoints.

Conclusion
Fremanezumab was effective and well-tolerated over the first 6 months of treatment, with approximately 80% of patients meeting Italian criteria for treatment continuation at Months 3 and 6.
A space–time DG method for the Schrödinger equation with variable potential
Authors: Gómez Sergio , Moiola Andrea 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe present a space–time ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the linear Schrödinger equation with variable potential. The proposed method is well-posed and quasi-optimal in mesh-dependent norms for very general discrete spaces. Optimal h-convergence error estimates are derived for the method when test and trial spaces are chosen either as piecewise polynomials or as a novel quasi-Trefftz polynomial space. The latter allows for a substantial reduction of the number of degrees of freedom and admits piecewise-smooth potentials. Several numerical experiments validate the accuracy and advantages of the proposed method.
