Abstract	Blood speckle tracking echocardiography (BSTE) is a new, promising 4D flow ultrafast non-focal plane imaging technique. The aim of the present investigation is to provide a review and update on potentialities and application of BSTE in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and acquired heart disease. A literature search was performed within the National Library of Medicine using the keywords "echocardiography", "BST", and "children". The search was refined by adding the keywords "ultrafast imaging", "CHD", and "4D flow". Fifteen studies were finally included. Our analysis outlined how BSTE is highly feasible, fast, and easy for visualization of normal/abnormal flow patterns in healthy children and in those with CHD. BSTE allows for visualization and basic 2D measures of normal/abnormal vortices forming the ventricles and in the main vessel. Left ventricular vortex characteristics and aortic flow patterns have been described both in healthy children and in those with CHD. Complex analysis (e.g., energy loss, vorticity, and vector complexity) are also highly feasible with BSTE, but software is currently available only for research. Furthermore, current technology allows for BSTE only in neonates and low-weight children (e.g., <40 kg). In summary, the feasibility and potentialities of BSTE as a complementary diagnostic tool in children have been proved; however, its systemic use is hampered by the lack of (i) accessible tools for complex quantification and for acquisition at all ages/weight, (ii) data on the diagnostic/prognostic significance of BSTE, and (iii) consensus/recommendation papers indicating when and how BSTE should be employed.

Abstract	The resilience assessment is crucial for many infrastructures, including water supply and distribution networks. In particular, the identification of the ‘critical’ components (nodes or pipes) whose failure may negatively affect network performances and system resilience is a key issue, with a direct relevance for decision-makers involved in planning, management and improvement activities. Among the multiple methods and tools available, the use of graph-theory metrics is a cutting-edge research topic, as the analysis of topological properties may provide simple yet reliable information on the performance of complex networks. In the present work, we aim to overcome the limit associated to the use of individual graph-theory metrics, identifying a subset of relevant metrics that are directly connected to network resilience properties, using them to perform a ‘network degradation analysis’ in case of single pipe failure and finally proposing an aggregation of the results using a Bayesian Belief Network. Ultimately, the proposed methodology provides a ranking of the most critical pipes, i.e. those that contribute most to system resilience. A real water distribution network in Italy is used for model development and validation.

Abstract	The pandemic of COVID-19 presents an unprecedented challenge to identify effective prevention and treatment. Scientific literature has exploded with many news concerning the different experiences and the first studies in the world. To date May 5 2020, if we carry out a search in pubmed with the keyword "COVID-19", more than 9000 papers appear. While if we carry out a search with the keywords "congenital heart disease and COVID-19", we find only 4 results. This is a viewpoint in which we summarize the most important problems that emerged with the most recent data in the literature.

Abstract	Water pricing has been identified as a generally valid water supply policy to help solve problems of water scarcity and competition. As for the non-agricultural sectors, in the last three decades water pricing has been widely discussed in and promoted with regard to the irrigation management, though in the actual practice its effectiveness is quite controversial. This is particularly true in semi-arid regions, where conjunctive use of collective facilities and on-farm groundwater pumps may cause conflicts and mismanagement of water resources. Under such circumstances, irrigation water pricing policies are not easy to deploy and implement effectively, due to potential occurrence of side and unintended effects. In this framework, the present work aims at investigating the impact at the district scale of water pricing policies, on both surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) resources. In this regard, a model which deals with the analysis of farmers’ decision concerning water source selection is proposed. The analysis is carried out keeping capital asset as given, also with the aim to elicit the relevance of on-farm irrigation water cost on resources use during the irrigation season. Reference is made to an intensive agricultural district in Southern Italy, conjunctively supplied by collective schemes managed by the local irrigation board and on-farm individual groundwater pumping systems. The proposed model was built along with local stakeholders, in order to (i) underline the relationship between the water tariff applied for collective supply service and the irrigation source selection during the irrigation season; and (ii) the relevance of the conjunctive use of GW based on pumping cost convenience and service standards needed to fulfill the irrigation requirements. The results have been then integrated into a quantitative water balance model, and a scenario analysis used to show the potential side impacts that a restrictive SW tariff policy applied during drought periods may have on the GW state, in different hydrological conditions.

Abstract	The provision of critical services, such as drinking water, is crucial both in ordinary and in emergency conditions due to either natural (e.g. earthquakes, droughts, etc.) or man-made hazards (e.g. contamination). Although several models and tools have been developed to support decision-making in ordinary operations, such as e.g. for scheduling ordinary maintenance and for planning rehabilitation/replacement activities, relatively limited attention has been paid to support decision-making in emergency conditions, which are characterized by high complexity and inherent uncertainty. However, a huge amount of information related to emergency management of drinking water supply systems is typically available in the form of expert knowledge and may represent a precious source to enhance the effectiveness of decision-making processes. The present research aims at building a Decision Support System (DSS) for emergency managers, to identify and rank the most suitable measures to deal with emergency water supply. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used for integrating both scientific knowledge and expert knowledge in the decision process, and for explicitly including some criteria (e.g. social impacts) which are highly relevant during crises, but often difficult to consider in the most widely used methods and tools. Both the National Department of Civil Protection (DPC) and some water utilities with recent experiences in emergency management have been involved in model conceptualization and building.

Article: Neonates and Infants with Left Heart Obstruction and Borderline Left Ventricle Undergoing Biventricular Repair: What Do We Know about Long-Term Outcomes? A Critical Review.

Abstract	Background: The decision to perform biventricular repair (BVR) in neonates and infants presenting with either single or multiple left ventricle outflow obstructions (LVOTOs) and a borderline left ventricle (BLV) is subject to extensive discussion, and limited information is known regarding the long-term outcomes. As a result, the objective of this study is to critically assess and summarize the available data regarding the prognosis of neonates and infants with LVOTO and BLV who underwent BVR. Methods: In February 2023, we conducted a review study with three different medical search engines (the National Library of Medicine, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library) for Medical Subject Headings and free text terms including "congenital heart disease", "outcome", and "borderline left ventricle". The search was refined by adding keywords for "Shone's complex", "complex LVOT obstruction", "hypoplastic left heart syndrome/complex", and "critical aortic stenosis". Results: Out of a total of 51 studies, 15 studies were included in the final analysis. The authors utilized heterogeneous definitions to characterize BLV, resulting in considerable variation in inclusion criteria among studies. Three distinct categories of studies were identified, encompassing those specifically designed to evaluate BLV, those focused on Shone's complex, and finally those on aortic stenosis. Despite the challenges associated with comparing data originating from slightly different cardiac defects and from different eras, our results indicate a favorable survival rate and clinical outcome following BVR. However, the incidence of reintervention remains high, and concerns persist regarding residual pulmonary hypertension, which has been inadequately investigated. Conclusions: The available data concerning neonates and infants with LVOTO and BLV who undergo BVR are inadequate and fragmented. Consequently, large-scale studies are necessary to fully ascertain the long-term outcome of these complex defects.

Abstract	Several modeling tools commonly used for supporting flood risk assessment and management are highly effective in representing physical phenomena, but provide a rather limited understanding of the multiple implications that flood risk and flood risk reduction measures have on highly complex systems such as urban areas. In fact, most of the available modeling tools do not fully account for this complexity-and related uncertainty-which heavily affects the interconnections between urban systems evolution and flood risk, ultimately resulting in an ineffective flood risk management. The present research proposes an innovative methodological framework to support decision-makers involved in an urban regeneration process at a planning/strategic level, accounting for the multi-dimensional implications of flood risk and of different flood risk management strategies. The adopted approach is based on the use of System Thinking principles and participatory System Dynamics modeling techniques, and pursues an integration between scientific and stakeholder knowledge. Reference is made to one of the case studies of the CUSSH and CAMELLIA projects, namely Thamesmead (London), a formerly inhospitable marshland currently undergoing a process of urban regeneration, and perceived as being increasingly vulnerable to flooding. It represents an interesting opportunity for building a replicable modeling approach to integrate urban development dynamics with flood risk, ultimately supporting policy and decision-makers in identifying mitigation/prevention measures and understanding how they could help achieve multi-dimensional benefits (e.g., environmental, social and economic).
