Reference ranges of uterine artery pulsatility index from first to third trimester based on serial Doppler measurements: longitudinal cohort study
Authors: Cavoretto P. I. , Salmeri N. , Candiani M. , Farina A. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo provide gestational‐age (GA)‐specific reference ranges for mean uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) based on longitudinal data assessment throughout pregnancy.MethodsThis was a prospective longitudinal cohort study of singleton low‐risk pregnancies with adequate health and nutritional status at the time of enrolment and without fetal anomaly, receiving prenatal care between January 2018 and July 2021 at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Unit of IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy. Women were recruited at ≤ 12 + 6 weeks' gestation and underwent serial standardized ultrasound monitoring, including UtA‐PI measurement, by experienced certified operators until delivery. Association of UtA‐PI with GA was modeled with fractional polynomial regression. Equations for mean ± SD of the estimated curves were calculated, as well as GA‐specific reference charts of centiles for UtA‐PI from 10 + 0 to 39 + 0 gestational weeks.ResultsWe included 476 healthy, low‐risk pregnant women and a total of 2045 ultrasound scans (median, 4 (range, 3–9) per patient) were available for analysis. Mean UtA‐PI was 1.84 ± 0.55, 1.07 ± 0.38 and 0.78 ± 0.23 in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy, respectively. Goodness‐of‐fit assessment revealed that second‐degree smoothing was the most accurate fractional polynomial for describing the course of UtA‐PI throughout gestation; therefore, it was modeled in a multilevel framework for the construction of UtA‐PI curves. We observed a rapid and substantial decrease in mean UtA‐PI before 16 weeks, with subsequent smoother decrement of the slope and more stable values from 20 until 39 weeks. The 3rd, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th and 97th centiles according to GA for UtA‐PI are provided, as well as equations to allow calculation of any value as a centile.ConclusionsUtA‐PI shows a progressive non‐linear decrease throughout pregnancy. The new reference ranges for GA‐specific mean UtA‐PI constructed using rigorous methodology may have a better performance compared with previous models for screening for placenta‐associated diseases in the early stages of pregnancy and for evaluating the potential risk for pregnancy‐induced hypertension and/or small‐for‐gestational age later in pregnancy. © 2022 The Authors.

Role of cervids in the epidemiology of bovine ephemeral fever virus infection in the Republic of Korea: A cross‐sectional retrospective study
Authors: Yeh Jung‐Yong , Ga Yun Ji 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundBovine ephemeral fever (BEF) is a viral disease in cattle and buffaloes, with subclinical involvement in various ruminant species.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) transmission in deer in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the potential risk factors associated with seropositivity.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cross‐sectional serological survey of neutralising antibodies against BEFV in cervid sera collected from the ROK.ResultsThe seroprevalence of BEFV was estimated to be 10.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.5–14.1), demonstrating that exposure to this virus is prevalent among farmed and free‐ranging cervids in the ROK. The results revealed that age class and geographic location affected seroprevalence. Older age and the presence of neighbouring ruminant farms were significant risk factors (odds ratio [OR] = 2.394, 95% CI = 1.195–4.796) and (OR = 1.533, 95% CI = 1.026–2.288), respectively. We also observed that the individual likelihood of positivity in the southern provinces was significantly higher than that in the northern provinces (OR = 1.744, 95% CI = 1.001–3.037). There were also significant differences in the seroprevalence of cervids between the western and eastern provinces (OR = 2.021, 95% CI = 1.047–3.900). Factors that were not significantly associated with BEFV antibody prevalence included herd size and species (p > 0.05).ConclusionsThese results suggest that cervid species may serve as important reservoirs for the transmission of BEFV, highlighting the need for closer monitoring of BEFV infections in cervids in the ROK.
Sustainable Urban Heritage vs Heritage Orthodoxy
Authors: Rodwell Dennis 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAgainst the backdrop of recent crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and various armed conflicts, this chapter highlights the unique vulnerabilities of urban heritage and how these have been exacerbated by an over-simplified construction and commodification of heritage in the official discourse. The chapter reflects on issues and contentions about the definition of urban heritage and the prevailing focus on listing sites and monumental values, highlighting the frequent contrast between community narratives and outstanding universal value. Aside from challenges to its existence, urban heritage must also find ways to mediate between environmental, social, and economic pressures that World Heritage status imposes and the over-riding principles and objectives of the SDGs and other ambitious policies.This chapter proposes that addressing all these challenges is linked to a shift toward an inclusive human- and environment-focused definition of urban heritage, which leaves room for community statements of values, not just OUV. This chapter presents the case for recognizing urban heritage’s compendium of values to consolidate its sustainability and spread and minimise the risks. In short, it is a call to move away from heritage orthodoxy and toward sustainable urban heritage.
The Politics of Shared Heritage: Contested Histories and Participatory Memory Work in the Post-Colonial Urban Landscape
Authors: Küver Jan 
Published: October 2022

AbstractShared heritage is a concept that serves to address cultural ties between countries or people that emanate from colonial history, including conflicts and contestations as well as connections and commonalities. This contribution evaluates the potential of shared heritage to work as a tool for a transformative heritage management practice through exploring the post-colonial heritage landscape of Iringa, Tanzania. The historical dynamics of colonialism have left various tangible and intangible traces throughout Iringa Town and Region. Combining ethnographic and historical methods, this paper examines historical narratives of different social groups, representations of these trajectories in the regional museum, and community responses to buildings and sites of colonial origin in the cityscape. In line with UNESCO’s Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach, observed applied conservation activities are discussed in the light of local development processes. I argue that shared heritage can serve as a viable concept to grapple with the colonial legacy vested in the HUL while at the same time using the discursive energy provided by these conflicts to support the cultural, social, and economic development of communities.
Fighting Terrorist Attacks Against World Heritage – An Integrated Approach
Authors: von Schorlemer Sabine 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis contribution will examine intentional acts of terrorist groups and organised networks directed against cultural heritage as a challenge for international law, e.g., by creating grey zones. In particular, it will be asked to what extent criminal law enforcement can be identified as a missing link in the system of the legal protection of cultural property, including World Heritage. It is seen as necessary to strengthen criminal sanctions for possession and sale of illegally trafficked cultural objects. In that respect, it will be argued, the Nicosia Convention on Offences Relating to Cultural Property, adopted by the Council of Europe in 2017, may give new impetus to criminal law as a tool in the fight against offences against cultural property, helping to reduce lawless areas. Cultural heritage protection, it is emphasised, requires a robust, legally integrated approach, including criminal prosecution for plundering, smuggling, and destruction.
Climate Change and World Heritage: An Introduction
Authors: Cave Claire 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe rapid acceleration of science and technology has enabled people to make unprecedented changes to their environment and to alter the global climate. The changing climate, together with biodiversity loss, now pose significant threats to people and their heritage. This chapter provides an introduction to the impacts that climate change is having on World Heritage and how those impacts are being addressed. It considers the conflict that can be created between interventions to protect against climate change and the conservation of heritage values. Effective on-site management is an important tool in addressing climate change impacts and should be supported by states parties together with local engagement and national and international collaboration. World Heritage sites should not be viewed in isolation from their surrounding environment, and a strong World Heritage Climate Change policy is required to guide future management and implementation of the World Heritage Convention.
Conflict Areas and Solution Strategies in the Conservation of Ecosystems and Their Services: A Holistic Approach
Authors: Avigliano Esteban , Schenone Nahuel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractNatural environments and biodiversity are negatively affected by climate change and non-sustainable human activities around the world. Different management strategies have been implemented to mitigate the loss of habitat and ecosystem functions. Nevertheless, many of these have failed because, in general, they focus on protected areas. The loss of habitat and, thus, biodiversity occurs outside these areas and does not receive attention. Often, the conservation strategies go against the needs of the communities in the surroundings of the protected areas, generating a series of conflicts between the local governments, conservationists, and residents. In this sense, it is necessary to carry out holistic conservation strategies that consider human beings and their socio-cultural complexity within the environment to overcome the effect of climate change on biodiversity loss. This chapter empirically shows how it is possible to apply conservation strategies integrating scientific and political capacities and uniting governmental and non-governmental organizations for the execution of socio-environmental, educational, and research actions. This holistic approach contributes to the restoration of the environment and its services and to the mitigation of climate change in subtropical regions.
Cultural Landscape Compatibility Study Upper Middle Rhine Valley – A Proactive Tool for Preventive Monitoring of Complex World Heritage Landscapes
Authors: Kloos Michael 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn recent years, many “living” cultural and urban landscapes on a large scale were inscribed on the World Heritage List. However, such complex World Heritage properties generate frequently challenges concerning their management due to transformations caused by to pressure to change. As a result, there is a need for new proactive systematic approaches to assess such transformations combining innovative technical solutions with a systematic approach to using attributes and values conveying their Outstanding Universal Value. Taking the World Heritage cultural landscape Upper Middle Rhine Valley as a case study, this paper investigates such a systematic instrument to monitor transformations and to assess their impact on the OUV and integrity of UNESCO World Heritage properties. It is concluded that such systematic technical instruments can be helpful to support strategies for an integrated management combining preservation and sustainable development. However, an in-depth theoretical knowledge of sites’ OUVs and attributes and values related thereby, as well as a sound integration in existing legislative frameworks and the participation of stakeholders on various levels is indispensable to guarantee their full effectiveness.

Young Professionals’ Perspectives on World Heritage – Transformation from an Expert-Dominated Concept to a Project for the People it is Made for
Authors: Bernecker Roland , Barrientos García Juan Carlos , Korinth Elisabeth , Rupp Isabelle , Tomasi Giulia , Zehbe Klaus-Christian 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this roundtable discussion, emerging heritage experts address their personal involvement with the World Heritage Convention, their assessment of achievements and failures of the 50 years of its history, and perspectives of future developments as seen by the younger generation. The discussion reveals a strong emphasis on more convincingly participatory procedures, community involvement, global equity and sustainable development. Heritage is what we take from the past to shape our future. From this conceptual stance, the emerging experts develop their claim of a far more substantial involvement of the younger not only in conceptual perspectivizations of heritage, but also in decision-making bodies. This would allow them to transform and shape the institutions they are working with to be sustainable, diverse, inclusive and future-oriented.
Outlook
Authors: Albert Marie-Theres , Bernecker Roland , Cave Claire , Prodan Anca Claudia , Ripp Matthias 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe chapter “Outlook” brings together the main messages of this book; formulates concluding comments and reflects on the way forward. Out of the many conflicts affecting World Heritage, the chapter highlights some, which appear as obstacles that must be overcome for a sustainable protection. The unequal geographical distribution of World Heritage properties and of the decision-making bodies; and the difficulty to reconcile economic interests with conservation and development needs are two examples. Further examples refer to the discrepancies in the interpretation of the meaning of World Heritage between experts and the civil society; and the climate and biodiversity crises, which require full participatory and inclusive approaches that integrate culture and nature protection. In light of these examples, the chapter concludes by underlining that the future of the World Heritage Convention can only be envisioned if such challenges were confronted and resolved.
Temporary Uses as a Toolkit for Heritage-Led Sustainable Urban Development
Authors: Ikeda Mariko 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper reconsiders the possibilities for heritage conservation through everyday practices found in temporary uses as relevant and cost-effective tools in a constantly transforming urban environment, contributing to a more sustainable urban development. For this aim, three of the author’s previous case studies of temporary uses in the city of Berlin are reconsidered from the perspective of heritage conservation through everyday practices and citizen participation. Berlin, with its rapidly changing urban environment since 1989, has been an experimental hub for countless temporary uses in a short period of time and therefore provides useful insights into the viability of temporary uses for urban heritage conservation from a variety of perspectives. This paper shows that temporary uses, especially ones that develop into permanent businesses, help to protect buildings from decay, revitalize neglected urban areas, contribute to the realization of the SDGs, and provide affordable spaces for cultural and social activities.
Health Policy Institutions in France and Germany
Authors: Hornung Johanna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe political systems of France and Germany and their respective organization of health care present important preconditions for the potential formation and success of programmatic groups and for the success of policy programs. This chapter reviews the health policy institutions in France and Germany in order to identify the positions in which programmatic actors can be found, which positions help them to implement their policy program, and which positions should be occupied for programmatic actors to achieve their goal of increased authority.
Programmatic Action in French Health Policy
Authors: Hornung Johanna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTaking a look at the history of health policy in France from 1990 to 2020, this chapter outlines the existence of programmatic action and identifies the programmatic actors relevant to the changes in health policy. The empirical study is based on a discourse network analysis, an in-depth analysis of the biographical trajectories of individuals, as well as a systematic connection of the programmatic content to the individual programmatic actors. Thereby, this chapter provides an explanation for 30 years of health policy developments in France.
Conclusion
Authors: Hornung Johanna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWhich institutions are necessary for programmatic action to take place? This chapter summarizes the “institutions of programmatic action”, which are the institutionalization of bureaucratic recruitment systems and scientific impulses through policy advice, and argues that the political institutions of federalism and corporatism are not directly related to the occurrence of programmatic action. At the same time, institutional changes may present both a challenge and an opportunity for programmatic groups.
At Work
Authors: Marti Irene 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter is dedicated to prisoners’ experiences at work. It begins with a description of the legal and institutional framework of work in Swiss prisons. It then explores prisoners’ experiences of various working contexts and how work affects their corporal and spatial experience of imprisonment. After that, the chapter sheds light on prisoners’ various temporal experiences at work and the ways they rearrange institutionally established work rhythms according to their individual needs. Finally, it presents the experience of being a worker and how this affects prisoners’ sense of self. It argues that work signifies a potential and important social space where prisoners search for recognition, which they may experience through the valorization of their individual skills and competences and the attribution of trustworthiness.
The Socio-Material Value of Language Choices in Mozambique and Finland
Authors: Chimbutane Feliciano , Ennser-Kananen Johanna , Kosunen Sonja 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter explores parental choice of language programs from a socio-material standpoint. It uses a DeleuzoGuattarian framework of smooth and striated spaces to understand how parents in Mozambique and Finland position themselves when making choices concerning their children’s language education. We analyzed interviews from Finland and focus groups and policy documents from Mozambique to understand the materialities and social discourses that constitute parental choice. We found that in Finland, materiality as a physical space (e.g., school location) factored into caregivers’ decision making when selecting schools for their children. In Mozambique, in turn, materiality as socioeconomic stability or advancement was a recurring theme. In the Mozambican context income and educational outcome (associated with Portuguese) were important factors for school/language choice, whereas in Finland social distinction was key. Based on our analysis, we draw conclusions about the nature of choice, arguing that a socio-material approach and the concept of assemblage are well-suited to understand the complexity of it.

Dispersive sum rules in AdS2
Authors: Knop Waltraut , Mazáč Dalimil 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Dispersion relations for S-matrices and CFT correlators translate UV consistency into bounds on IR observables. In this note, we construct dispersive sum rules for 1D CFTs. We use them to prove bounds on higher-derivative couplings in weakly-coupled non-gravitational EFTs in AdS2. At the leading order in the bulk-point limit, the bounds agree with the flat-space result. We compute the leading universal effect of finite AdS radius on the bounds. Along the way, we give an explicit formula for anomalous dimensions in general higher-derivative contact Witten diagrams in AdS2.
Black hole scattering and partition functions
Authors: Law Y. T. Albert , Parmentier Klaas 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
When computing the ideal gas thermal canonical partition function for a scalar outside a black hole horizon, one encounters the divergent single-particle density of states (DOS) due to the continuous nature of the normal mode spectrum. Recasting the Lorentzian field equation into an effective 1D scattering problem, we argue that the scattering phases encode non-trivial information about the DOS and can be extracted by “renormalizing” the DOS with respect to a reference. This defines a renormalized free energy up to an arbitrary additive constant. Interestingly, we discover that the 1-loop Euclidean path integral, as computed by the Denef-Hartnoll-Sachdev formula, fixes the reference free energy to be that on a Rindler-like region, and the renormalized DOS captures the quasinormal modes for the scalar. We support these claims with the examples of scalars on static BTZ, Nariai black holes and the de Sitter static patch. For black holes in asymptotically flat space, the renormalized DOS is captured by the phase of the transmission coefficient whose magnitude squared is the greybody factor. We comment on possible connections with recent works from an algebraic point of view.
