subject: Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure

description: L’épuisement professionnel, ou « burnout », occupe la recherche scientifique depuis une quarantaine d’années. De nombreuses études portent sur le domaine de l’enseignement. Néanmoins, on identifie le besoin d’analyser les particularités du burnout chez les enseignants d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) en comparaison avec leurs homologues d’autres disciplines. De plus, les effets de l’activité physique sur les symptômes de burnout sont encore mal documentés pour cette population et demandent à être explorés de manière complémentaire. L’objet de ce mémoire est de mesurer les scores de burnout du corps enseignant vaudois (secondaire I et II) en début d’année scolaire 2019-2020, puis de comparer les enseignants selon leur discipline d’enseignement (EPS vs autres) et leur niveau d’activité physique. Nous avons diffusé un questionnaire auquel 114 volontaires ont répondu, dont 67 hommes (M = 39.33, ET = 10.35) et 47 femmes (M = 38.47, ET = 9.98). Nous avons évalué les scores de burnout selon le Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure et les perceptions de pratique d’activité physique grâce à la Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale. Les résultats montrent une différence significative des scores de burnout (p = .003, TE = 0.61), de fatigue physique (p = .005, TE = 0.58) et de lassitude cognitive (p = .006, TE = 0.56) entre les enseignants d’EPS et leurs collègues des autres disciplines. Le test-t montre également une différence significative du niveau d’activité physique (p = .001, TE = 1.36) entre les enseignants d’EPS et leurs homologues des autres disciplines. Avec l’augmentation de l’activité physique, nous observons une baisse des scores moyens du burnout et de ses trois dimensions, toutes disciplines d’enseignement confondues. Nos hypothèses sont validées ; il existe une différence des scores de burnout entre les enseignants d’EPS et les autres. En outre, la pratique d’activités physiques semble avoir un effet protecteur face au burnout.

description: In recent years the role of offline consolidation in supporting word learning has attracted great interest and has provided valuable insight into how novel spoken and written words are learned. Relatively little attention has focused on whether offline consolidation supports the learning and generalisation of novel orthographic knowledge. Meanwhile, laboratory-based approaches have proven valuable in overcoming the methodological challenges of studying reading acquisition, i.e. learning letter-sound knowledge. This thesis combines laboratory-based orthographic learning with an overnight consolidation framework to track the effects of sleep on learning novel letters and novel written words in six experiments. Experiment 1 validated the artificial orthography paradigm by using fMRI to show the novel orthography activated similar neural regions to pseudowords written in familiar orthography. Comparing recently learned words and objects additionally highlighted the componential and holistic processes that distinguish reading from object naming. Experiments 2, 3, and 4 investigated whether overnight consolidation had contrasting effects on learning novel letters and learning novel written words. All three studies showed overnight improvements in the ability to use and generalise knowledge of letters. Experiment 3 further assessed whether consolidation supported the formation of bigram representations. While the results did not show bigram consolidation, a recognition memory task indicated participants had consolidated the novel spoken words. Experiment 4 manipulated the internal statistical structure of the novel words finding, in contrast to Experiment 3, participants had consolidated the written forms of the novel words. Experiments 5 and 6 asked whether consolidated and unconsolidated spoken words would support orthographic learning. These studies failed to observe previous findings of spoken word consolidation and did not demonstrate clear effects of lexical knowledge on orthographic learning. The findings of the thesis demonstrate the importance of letter-level learning and consolidation during reading acquisition as well as highlighting the value of laboratory-based studies for understanding the interdependent trajectories of the skills involved in reading.

description: Motivated by the presence of numerous dark matter clumps in the Milky Way's halo as expected from the cold dark matter cosmological model, we conduct numerical simulations to examine the heating of the disk. We construct an initial galaxy model in equilibrium, with a stable thin disk. The disk interacts with dark matter clumps for about 5 Gyr. Three physical effects are examined : first the mass spectrum of the dark matter clumps, second the initial thickness of the galactic disk, and third the spatial distribution of the clumps. We find that the massive end of the mass spectrum determines the amount of disk heating. Thicker disks suffer less heating. There is a certain thickness at which the heating owing to the interaction with the clumps becomes saturates. We also find that the heating produced by the model which mimics the distribution found in Standard CDM cosmology is significant and too high to explain the observational constraints. On the other hand, our model that corresponds to the clump distribution in a $Λ$CDM cosmology produces no significant heating. This result suggests that the $Λ$CDM cosmology is preferable with respect to the Standard CDM cosmology in explaining the thickness of the Milky Way.

description: Producers in industrialized countries have been inundated by ideas and information about precision agriculture (PA) and how new site-specific management (SSM) technologies will revolutionize their farm operations. Conjuring up 'Star Wars' imagery, farmers and their computerized machinery communicate with satellites while speeding up and down the information highway. The farm press has hailed the advent of these technologies as a win-win situation, with higher farm profits and improved environmental quality. Certainly the potential is there for greater economic returns and better environmental stewardship. But what exactly is precision agriculture, who is applying it, and where? Is the technology only relevant for developed countries and are there implications for markets? What is the likelihood that environmental benefits will be realized? This paper addresses these questions by drawing on literature, data and expert opinion.
Magnetized Turbulent Dynamo in Protogalaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The prevailing theory for the origin of cosmic magnetic fields is that they have been amplified to their present values by the turbulent dynamo inductive action in the protogalactic and galactic medium. Up to now, in calculation of the turbulent dynamo, it has been customary to assume that there is no back reaction of the magnetic field on the turbulence, as long as the magnetic energy is less than the turbulent kinetic energy. This assumption leads to the kinematic dynamo theory. However, the applicability of this theory to protogalaxies is rather limited. The reason is that in protogalaxies the temperature is very high, and the viscosity is dominated by magnetized ions. As the magnetic field strength grows in time, the ion cyclotron time becomes shorter than the ion collision time, and the plasma becomes strongly magnetized. As a result, the ion viscosity becomes the Braginskii viscosity. Thus, in protogalaxies the back reaction sets in much earlier, at field strengths much lower than those which correspond to field-turbulence energy equipartition, and the turbulent dynamo becomes what we call the magnetized turbulent dynamo. In this paper we lay the theoretical groundwork for the magnetized turbulent dynamo. In particular, we predict that the magnetic energy growth rate in the magnetized dynamo theory is up to ten time larger than that in the kinematic dynamo theory. We also briefly discuss how the Braginskii viscosity can aid the development of the inverse cascade of magnetic energy after the energy equipartition is reached.

description: This thesis investigates conceptual networks —systems of organising, understanding and explaining thought and knowledge— and the ways in which they underlie both text and its mise en page across a range of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century French and Catalan literary texts and their manuscript witnesses. Each of the three chapters explores a separate corpus of texts, using two of four interrelated network theories: Michel Serres’ notion of parasites and hosts as the basic interconnecting units that combine to constitute all relational networks; the ubiquitous organizational tree; Gilles Deleuze’s concept of the fold as the primary factor in producing differentiation and identity; and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s unruly, anti-hierarchical and anti-arborescent rhizomatic systems. The first chapter engages primarily with parasites and trees; the second with trees and folds; and the third with folds and rhizomes. However, resonances with the other network theories are discussed as they occur, in order to demonstrate the fundamentally interconnected and often interchangeable nature of these systems. Each chapter includes close analysis of manuscript witnesses of the texts under discussion. The first chapter, ‘Saints Denis and Fanuel: Parasitism and Arborescence on the Manuscript Page’, examines parasitic and arboreal networks in two hagiographic texts: late thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century prose redactions of the Vie de Saint Denis, and the thirteenth‐century hagiographic romance Li Romanz de Saint Fanuel. The second chapter, ‘Ramon Llull’s Folding Forests: The World, the Tree and the Book’, addresses arborescent and folding structures in Llull’s encyclopaedic Arbre de ciència [Tree of Science], composed between 1295 and 1296. The third chapter, ‘Transgender Genealogy: Turning, Folding and Crossing Gender’, considers three characters in medieval French texts who can be read as transgender: Saint Fanuel; the King of Torelore in Aucassin et Nicolette; and Blanchandin/e in Tristan de Nanteuil. The chapter explores the ways in which these characters’ queer trajectories can be understood through conceptions of directionality which relate to the fold and the rhizome.

Embedded contact knot homology and a surgery formula

description: Embedded contact homology is an invariant of closed oriented contact 3-manifolds first defined by Hutchings, and is isomorphic to both Heegard Floer homology (by the work of Colin, Ghiggini and Honda) and Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomology (by the work of Taubes). The embedded contact chain complex is defined by counting closed orbits of the Reeb vector field and certain pseudoholomorphic curves in the symplectization of the manifold. As part of their proof that ECH=HF, Colin, Ghiggini and Honda showed that if the contact form is suitably adapted to an open book decomposition of the manifold, then embedded contact homology can be computed by considering only orbits and differentials in the complement of the binding of the open book; this fact was then in turn used to define a knot version of embedded contact homology, denoted ECK, where the (null-homologous) knot in question is given by the binding. In this thesis we start by generalizing these results to the case of rational open book decompositions, allowing us to define ECK for rationally null-homologous knots. In its most general form this is a bi-filtered chain complex whose homology yields ECH of the closed manifold. There is also a hat version of ECK in this situation which is equipped with an Alexander grading equivalent to that in the Heegaard Floer setting, categorifies the Alexander polynomial, and is conjecturally isomorphic to the hat version of knot Floer homology. The main result of this thesis is a large negative $n$-surgery formula for ECK. Namely, we start with an (integral) open book decomposition of a manifold with binding $K$ and compute, for all $n$ greater than or equal to twice the genus of $K$, ECK of the knot $K(-n)$ obtained by performing ($-n$)-surgery on $K$. This formula agrees with Hedden's large $n$-surgery formula for HFK, providing supporting evidence towards the conjectured equivalence between the two theories. Along we the way, we also prove that ECK is, in many cases, independent of the choices made to define it, namely the almost complex structure on the symplectization and the homotopy type of the contact form. We also prove that, in the case of integral open book decompositions, the hat version of ECK is supported in Alexander gradings less than or equal to twice the genus of the knot.

description: Instrumental variables allow the estimation of cause and effect relations even in presence of unobserved latent factors, thus providing a powerful tool for any science wherein causal inference plays an important role. More recently, the instrumental scenario has also attracted increasing attention in quantum physics, since it is related to the seminal Bell's theorem and in fact allows the detection of even stronger quantum effects, thus enhancing our current capabilities to process information and becoming a valuable tool in quantum cryptography. In this work, we further explore this bridge between causality and quantum theory and apply a technique, originally developed in the field of quantum foundations, to express the constraints implied by causal relations in the language of graph theory. This new approach can be applied to any causal model containing a latent variable. Here, by focusing on the instrumental scenario, it allows us to easily reproduce known results as well as obtain new ones and gain new insights on the connections and differences between the instrumental and the Bell scenarios.

description: This week, UC Irvine became the first UC campus to launch the UC Presidential Open Access Policy implementation, enabling UC Irvine Health Science Clinical Professors and Librarians to join their Academic Senate colleagues in using the UC Publication Management System to make their scholarly articles freely available in eScholarship, UC’s open access repository and publishing platform. Thanks to increasingly enthusiastic participation in the Academic Senate OA Policy, the global community (both academic and public) now has access to nearly 46,000 articles that would otherwise be locked behind publisher paywalls. Participation in the Presidential OA Policy builds on this momentum by extending UC’s OA policy participation to an additional 210,000 employees, substantially broadening the reach of UC research and scholarship, and granting UC the distinction of having the most extensive institutional OA policy in the country. UC’s OA policies collectively empower all UC employees to make their publications freely available in eScholarship, regardless of where those articles are originally published or how restrictive the publishers’ default use policies might be. The roll-out of the policy at Irvine is being managed by Mitchell Brown, UC Irvine Libraries Scholarly Communications Coordinator and Research Librarian for Chemistry, Earth System Science and Russian Studies, and Adrian Petrisor, UC Irvine Libraries Director of Information Technology.

description: We present a method for simultaneously learning, in an unsupervised manner, (i) a conditional image generator, (ii) foreground extraction and segmentation, (iii) clustering into a two-level class hierarchy, and (iv) object removal and background completion, all done without any use of annotation. The method combines a Generative Adversarial Network and a Variational Auto-Encoder, with multiple encoders, generators and discriminators, and benefits from solving all tasks at once. The input to the training scheme is a varied collection of unlabeled images from the same domain, as well as a set of background images without a foreground object. In addition, the image generator can mix the background from one image, with a foreground that is conditioned either on that of a second image or on the index of a desired cluster. The method obtains state of the art results in comparison to the literature methods, when compared to the current state of the art in each of the tasks.

description: Nowadays, with the rapid development of consumer Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), visual surveillance by utilizing the UAV platform has been very attractive. Most of the research works for UAV captured visual data are mainly focused on the tasks of object detection and tracking. However, limited attention has been paid to the task of person Re-identification (ReID) which has been widely studied in ordinary surveillance cameras with fixed emplacements. In this paper, to facilitate the research of person ReID in aerial imagery, we collect a large scale airborne person ReID dataset named as Person ReID for Aerial Imagery (PRAI-1581), which consists of 39,461 images of 1581 person identities. The images of the dataset are shot by two DJI consumer UAVs flying at an altitude ranging from 20 to 60 meters above the ground, which covers most of the real UAV surveillance scenarios. In addition, we propose to utilize subspace pooling of convolution feature maps to represent the input person images. Our method can learn a discriminative and compact feature representation for ReID in aerial imagery and can be trained in an end-to-end fashion efficiently. We conduct extensive experiments on the proposed dataset and the experimental results demonstrate that re-identify persons in aerial imagery is a challenging problem, where our method performs favorably against state of the arts. Our dataset can be accessed via \url{https://github.com/stormyoung/PRAI-1581}.

By simulating these matrix elements at unphysical kinematics, it is possible to determine all the low-energy constants (LECs) for constructing the physical $K^{+}\toπ^{+}π^{0}$ amplitudes at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the chiral expansion. In this work, the one-loop chiral corrections are calculated for arbitrary meson four-momenta, in both $χ$PT and quenched $χ$PT (q$χ$PT), and the finite-volume effects are studied.

description: Introduction : Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, je me suis intéressé aux effets de la consommation de jus de pommes sur la mémoire et l’humeur à l’école. La littérature montre que l’ingestion de doses modérées de glucose peut avoir des effets cognitifs bénéfiques, particulièrement à distance des repas, en fin de matinée et en l’absence de petit-déjeuner. Des études de laboratoire indiquent aussi des effets supplémentaires des jus de fruits, mais ceci reste méconnu sur terrain scolaire à l’adolescence. Méthodologie : Une population de 35 adolescents de 15 ± 0.6 ans et provenant de deux classes de voies générale et prégymnasiale a été incluse dans un dessin expérimental à deux conditions suivies à tour de rôle, aléatoirement. Les effets de la consommation de 250 ml de jus de pommes (Jus) ou d’eau (Eau) sur la mémoire ont été comparés 120 min plus tard, à 11h30, en mesurant le rappel puis la reconnaissance de mots présentés. Chaque liste de mots était formée par 15 associés verbaux à un leurre critique non présenté, mais dont l’apparition était synonyme de fausses mémorisations. Le profil d’humeurs des élèves a été dressé, et des questionnaires évaluant habitudes alimentaires, du sommeil et chronotype ont été administrés. Résultats : Les ingestions de jus de pommes et d’eau ont entraîné des effets similaires, tant en termes de rappel immédiat, de la reconnaissance différée que de fausses mémorisations (rmANOVA. Effet Jus : toutes les p>0.05). Jus n’a pas non plus influencé l’humeur des participants par rapport à Eau (rmANOVA. Effet Jus : toutes les p>0.05). Conclusions : Consommer du jus de pommes en classe n’a pas d’effets particulièrement bénéfiques sur la mémoire ou l’humeur en fin de matinée. Ceci questionne l’importance pratique des effets cognitifs des nutriments et oriente l’enseignant vers d’autres pistes d’aides concrètes pour ses élèves.

The channel was filled with fresh water and the current was generated using saline solution introduced either by a rapid release of a known finite volume from behind a lock gate or by pumping at a constant rate into the apex of the channel. The distribution and evolution of the density of the flow with distance downstream was measured using a light attenuation technique. Additional experiments were performed by injecting parcels of dye in different regions of the flow in order to visualise the motion of fluid in and surrounding the gravity current. Unlike currents introduced by the release of a finite volume of fluid, where most mixing occurs in the head of the flow, currents produced from a steady source develop a steady tail region behind the front which is also found to entrain a significant amount of ambient fluid. In both types of current, we estimate the fraction of displaced ambient fluid that is entrained into the flow. We then derive a new class of self-similar solutions for gravity currents produced from a finite volume release of fluid. The second part of this thesis develops the experimental method of measuring mixing using light attenuation to investigate the mixing of liquid in a vertical conduit which results from a continuous stream of high Reynolds number gas bubbles. The experiments identify that the mixing in the wake of the bubbles leads to a net dispersive transport along the conduit. The process provides an explanation for the heat transfer within a volcanic conduit in the case of a gas-slug flow regime as occurs in the near surface region of volcanic conduits connected to surface lava lakes. We derive a theoretical model to estimate the heat flux associated with such a system using the empirical law for the dispersive mixing. The predicted heat flux associated with the bubbles is found to be comparable to the heat loss at the surface of lava lakes associated with radiative and convective heat loss. Given values for the gas flux, the lake area and the temperature at the surface of the lake, the model enables new predictions for the size of the volcanic conduit.

description: Within the context of solving Mixed-Integer Linear Programs by a Branch-and- Cut algorithm, we propose a new strategy for branching. Computational experiments show that, on the majority of our test instances, this approach enumerates fewer nodes than traditional branching. On average, the number of nodes in the enumeration tree is reduced by a factor two, while computing time is comparable. On a few instances, the improvements are of several orders of magnitude in both number of nodes and computing time

description: Human behavior is the expression of held values and beliefs. While it is correct to believe that behavior can adjust over time due to the shift in personality that’s being expressed, after a certain age, the personality development becomes considerably more adaptive, which leads to a reasonably consistent behavioral style that makes for a good tangible measure of someone’s character. The study aimed to find patterns between someone’s intents, inclinations, and tendencies to act in the future and their behavioral style based on the DiSC model of behavior. It encompassed 187 undergraduate and 72 postgraduate students of Pharmaceutical Sciences from both public and private universities in Jordan from over eight nationalities. The researcher used a survey made up of two sections; the first section focuses on the student's intents, beliefs, and general information. The second section’s questions are used to determine which of the four behavioral styles the student belongs to. The study showed that, in terms of numbers, the “S” style of behavior makes up (66.8%) of total respondents, followed by “C” style (17%), “I” style (12%), and “D” style (4.2%). The analysis showed both the undergraduate and postgraduate student’s perspectives and revealed several links between each style and academic potential, self-belief, thoughts about higher education, and future career plans.

description: Bacterial populations in natural conditions are expected to experience stochastic environmental fluctuations, and in addition, environments are affected by bacterial activities since they consume substrates and excrete various chemicals. We here study possible outcomes of population dynamics and evolution under the repeated cycle of substrate-rich conditions and starvation, called the "feast-famine cycle", by a simple stochastic model with the trade-off relationship between the growth rate and the growth yield or the death rate. In the model, the feast (substrate-rich) period is led by a stochastic substrate addition event, while the famine (starvation) period is evoked because bacteria use the supplied substrate. Under the repeated feast-famine cycle, the bacterial population tends to increase the growth rate, even though that tends to decrease the total population size due to the trade-off. Analysis of the model shows that the ratio between the growth rate and the death rate becomes the effective fitness of the population. Hence, the functional form of the trade-off between the growth and death rate determines if the bacterial population eventually goes extinct as an evolutionary consequence. We then show that the increase of the added substrate in the feast period can drive the extinction faster. Overall, the model sheds light on non-trivial possible outcomes under repeated feast-famine cycles.

description: Background: Lewy body dementia (LBD), consisting of Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), is known to make up more than 15% of dementia cases at autopsy, however the clinical prevalence rate is reported to be much lower at around 5-6%. Difficulties with diagnosis and/or lack of specific treatments may contribute to this difference. This study investigated the diagnosis and management pathways of LBD and whether inflammation could play a role in the pathophysiology and hence provide a route for future diagnostic and treatment pathways. Methods: Clinical diagnostic rates of LBD in clinics across several NHS trusts in East Anglia were reviewed, followed by an in-depth notes review of patients identified with LBD together with age and gender matched controls. A literature review of the current evidence for inflammation in LBD, preceded a case control study to investigate further. Nineteen DLB patients together with 16 age and gender matched healthy controls underwent [11C]PK11195 PET imaging, and the same cohorts, plus an additional 10 matched control subjects underwent peripheral cytokine analysis. Results: The clinical prevalence rate of LBD was low compared to the known pathology rates, with delays identified in the diagnosis of DLB compared to other dementia subtypes. Delays were also seen between the onset of dementia symptoms and the clinical diagnosis of dementia in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The literature review identified studies providing evidence of inflammation in PD but few studies had been carried out in DLB. PET imaging revealed microglial activation negatively correlated with disease severity in DLB, suggesting inflammation occurs early in the disease. DLB patients also showed evidence of differences in cytokine levels compared to healthy controls. Conclusion: The study showed evidence of inflammatory changes in DLB, providing a potential target for treatment and/or biomarkers, that could assist in increasing clinical diagnostic rates.

description: L’association complexe société - école - famille est au cœur du travail des enseignants qui doivent désormais composer avec ces différents facteurs. Les enfants arrivent en classe avec leur histoire. Ils transportent avec eux leurs émotions du jour : joie, tristesse, anxiété, colère ou peur face aux aléas de la vie quotidienne, à la réussite ou à l’échec à un test, à la relation agréable ou désagréable avec un camarade, un parent, un enseignant. Au carrefour des émotions vécues par les élèves à l’école, nous trouvons sans surprise le cours d’EPS berceau débordant d’affects de tous types. L’état émotionnel de chacun et son évolution au cours de la leçon a un impact majeur sur les comportements et attitudes, sur les interactions dans la classe et par conséquent sur les apprentissages. Les élèves ont des besoins, comme faire partie d’une équipe, être reconnus par leurs pairs, jouer sans l’intervention du maître ou être fiers de leur résultat. Mais par manque d’expériences d’autorégulation, les émotions les submergent trop souvent et les travaux collectifs sont difficiles à gérer. Afin d’essayer d’apporter des solutions à ces difficultés, nous avons testé un dispositif d’Apprentissage Coopératif, le Jigsaw. Directement lié à la satisfaction des besoins d’autonomie, d’appartenance et de compétence des élèves, il se présentait comme un outil pour explorer le potentiel émotionnel de la classe. Nous avons tout d’abord travaillé avec les enfants sur des actions sociales préalables. Puis, en multipliant leurs interactions entre eux et en les confrontant à différentes situations émotionnelles au cours du Jigsaw, nous avons tenté de découvrir s’ils avaient réussi à développer des compétences sociales individuelles et collectives en relation avec leurs besoins, pour améliorer la gestion de leurs émotions lors de travaux coopératifs. Il s’est avéré que si le contenu du Jigsaw est bien préparé pour que son cadre soit accepté par les élèves et qu’ils s’y conforment, que ces derniers ont perçu la finalité qu’ils souhaitent atteindre, et qu’ils possèdent des compétences sociales au préalable, il a un impact favorable sur la gestion des émotions des élèves. Ceux-ci modifient alors leurs comportements dans le temps et progressent dans leurs interactions avec les autres. Cette constatation reste cependant très éphémère. Pour que les effets souhaités soient durables, nous sommes persuadés que le Jigsaw doit être exploré dans d’autres disciplines.
Constructing Victims of Heritage Destruction: Lessons from the Al Mahdi Reparations Order

description: This dissertation looks at the enforcement of legal instruments governing the protection of heritage and the extent to which such enforcement mechanism may be useful for the protection of heritage. It delves into the Reparations Order in the Al Mahdi case to see how the International Criminal Court constructs the notion of victims in the aftermath of the destruction of heritage sites in Timbuktu. This construction entails (i) the identification of victim groups; (ii) the assessment of their harm; and (iii) the determination of reparation type and modalities. Scrutinising the Trial Chamber’s use of the World Heritage Convention, this dissertation reveals gaps in all three areas, privileging local victims at the expense of national and international victims. Wide discretionary powers were found to have chiefly motivated the Court’s uneven analyses and could adversely affect its decisionmaking in future cases. In spite of its limitations, the Court demonstrated usefulness by achieving some expansion in its remit in the protection of heritage and through its role as a figurative “loudspeaker” in publicising the punitive consequence of heritage destruction to the global public.
