The effects of urban living on child, infant, and maternal health: a comparative study of linear enamel hypoplasia between two Dutch postmedieval populations
Get PDF Substantial research has been done assessing health inequalities between rural and urban contexts in the low countries; however, fewer studies have considered the effect of urban living on non-adults. Because dental enamel does not remodel, recording the time of dental stress insults in both deciduous and permanent teeth allows for the analysis of episodes of stress, including those occurring during the fetal period. Thus, through the analysis of dental stress markers, we can provide information about child, infant, and maternal health inequalities between urban and rural contexts. To do this, we recorded the frequency and age at formation of linear enamel hypoplasia in both permanent and deciduous teeth of 177 individuals between 0 and 35 years of age from two Dutch postmedieval sites; 64 from the city of Arnhem (1650–1829 ce) and 113 from the rural cemetery of Middenbeemster (1623–1867 ce). Results from this research reveal that urban living during Dutch postmedieval times had a negative impact specifically on infants and their gestating mothers, as deciduous teeth from urban Arnhem presented a significantly higher frequency of LEH compared with their rural counterparts (p = 0.009). However, no significant difference was found on permanent teeth between sites (p = 0.868), showing that during the following years of life (3–6), urban life did not appear to have a greater negative impact compared with rural life.NWOVI.VIDI. 201.153Archaeological Science

National human rights institutions as expert actors in global human rights governance: the case of the UN universal periodic review
No full textDespite governments investing considerable resources in the establishment and use of expert bodies, not all expert groups are able to successfully fulfill their role, facing limitations to different aspects of operation. Drawing on a politics of expertise approach, we explore how the setup of expert bodies affects their daily functioning. We contend that, to successfully perform its expert role, a body’s expertise in practice must indeed match the expertise it needs to perform its duties. To measure a body’s expertise, we build upon existing categorizations of expertise, and we additionally develop two new typologies: resource-centered and task-related expertise. We illustrate our argument with an analysis of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), key actors in the multilevel governance of human rights. Acting as a bridge between the national and international levels, NHRIs provide independent expertise, facilitating states’ participation in international human rights governance mechanisms, like the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR). We analyze original documentary and survey data on NHRIs in the Asia Pacific and show that, despite working in hostile national environments, these bodies have been able to successfully fulfill their expert role to a larger extent than we originally expected.Security and Global Affair

The art of scaling: organising swift adaptation to cope with crises and war
No full textIncreased existential threats demand that Western Democracies and their armed forces can swiftly scale up, rapidly expanding their capabilities to deter potential adversaries and defend borders effectively. The principle of scaling also applies to crisis response systems in general; the larger the disaster scope, the more crucial scalability becomes to alleviate suffering. From a multidisciplinary viewpoint, this book introduces fresh insights into the concept of scaling by examining scalability within security contexts.
This book is structured in three parts. The first part, explores historical perspectives, demonstrating that scaling is deeply rooted in military policy, strategy and practices. The second part, “Organising Scalability,” highlights innovative methods and empirical examples of scaling. The final part, “Enabling Scalability,” outlines essential resources and popular support to implement scalability.
The conclusion presents a new definition and structured process model of scalability. It emphasizes that establishing and organising scalable organizations is complex but feasible. However, it poses a critical question: is our social fabric robust enough to support scaling and are we prepared to defend our core values if war and crises come
