Clinical Profiles and Survival Outcomes of Patients With Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors at a Health Network in New South Wales, Australia: Retrospective Study
Authors: Reeders Jocelyn , Ashoka Menon Vivek , Mani Anita , George Mathew 
Published: August 2019

Background
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies with varying and often indolent clinicobiological characteristics according to their primary location. NETs can affect any organ and hence present with nonspecific symptoms that can lead to a delay in diagnosis. The incidence of NETs is increasing in Australia; data regarding characteristics of NETs were collected from the cancer registry of Hunter New England, Australia.

Objective
This study aimed to explore the clinical profiles and treatment and survival outcomes of patients with well-differentiated NETs in an Australian population.

Methods
We reviewed the data of all adult patients who received the diagnosis of NET between 2008 and 2013. The clinicopathological, treatment, and follow-up data were extracted from the local Cancer Clinical Registry. We also recorded the level of remoteness for each patient by matching the patient’s residential postcode to the corresponding Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011 remoteness area category. Univariate analysis was used to find the factors associated with NET-related mortality. Survival analysis was computed.

Results
Data from 96 patients were included in the study (men: 37/96, 38.5%, and women: 59/96, 61.5%). The median age at diagnosis was approximately 63 years. A higher proportion of patients lived in remote/rural areas (50/96, 52.1%) compared with those living in city/metropolitan regions (46/96, 47.9%). The most common primary tumor site was the gastroenteropancreatic tract, followed by the lung. The factors significantly associated with NET-related mortality were age, primary tumor site, surgical resection status, tumor grade, and clinical stage of the patient. At 5 years, the overall survival rate was found to be 62%, and the disease-free survival rate was 56.5%.

Conclusions
Older age, advanced unresectable tumors, evidence of metastasis, and higher-grade tumors were associated with poorer outcomes. Lung tumors had a higher risk of NET-related mortality compared with other sites.
A Mobile Phone App to Improve the Mental Health of Taxi Drivers: Single-Arm Feasibility Trial
Authors: Davidson Sandra , Fletcher Susan , Wadley Greg , Reavley Nicola , Gunn Jane , Wade Darryl 
Published: August 2019

Background
Psychological distress among taxi drivers is 5 times higher than that in the general population, and more than half of all drivers have experienced 3 or more potentially traumatic events in their lifetime. Nevertheless, help-seeking for mental health problems in this male-dominated, predominately immigrant workforce is low. Mobile technologies have the potential to increase mental health awareness, teach self-help skills, and encourage help-seeking in this hard-to-reach population.

Objective
This study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of Driving to Health, a mobile phone–friendly mental health website app designed for people working as taxi drivers.

Methods
Drivers (n=46) were recruited from the Melbourne Airport Taxi Holding Yard to participate in a single-arm trial. Self-reported, paper-based assessments were completed at baseline and at 1 month. Feasibility was measured by completion rates, representativeness of study participants, and levels of use. Acceptability was assessed by measuring users’ perception of the quality of the app and anticipated levels of future use. The efficacy of Driving to Health to increase awareness, self-help behaviors, and intentions to seek help was assessed using the user version of the Mobile App Rating Scale (uMARS) and the General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ). Psychological symptoms were measured using the short form of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using complete case analysis.

Results
In total, 42 participants comprising drivers from 10 different countries of origin, and 14 different languages, completed pre- and poststudy measures (42/46, 91% completion rate). Just under half (45%) of all users used the app more than once with an average visit of 4 min 8 seconds. Responding to the uMARS, 62% (26/42) of the participants said that they would recommend the app to many people. Nearly all (40/42, 95%) participants said that Driving to Health increased awareness of their own mental health; 86% (36/42) said that it increased their mental health knowledge; and 76% (32/42) said that it increased their self-help behaviors. Increases in help-seeking intentions on the GHSQ were not significant, and increases on all 3 scales of DASS-21 were not reliable or meaningful.

Conclusions
This study suggests that Driving to Health is an acceptable and feasible electronic health intervention for a hard-to-reach population. Our findings also suggest that Driving to Health results in increases in mental health awareness, behaviors, and willingness to seek help.

O Papel do Institut du Droit International e da International Law Association na Codificação das normas do Direito Internacional de Águas: entre hard law e soft law
Authors: Espada Gildo Manuel 
Published: August 2019

RESUMOA importância da água como recurso vital para a humanidade e as disputas sobre o acesso a este recurso são cada vez mais intensas. Aliado a estes factos, acontece que grande parte dos recursos de água do planeta faz parte de recursos hídricos partilhados entre dois ou mais Estados. Este facto fez com que algumas organizações internacionais, mormente o Institut du Droit International e a International Law Association se esforçassem em codificar o Direito Internacional de Águas. Entretanto, apesar de todo o esforço feito, as normas aprovadas não obtiveram o estatuto de hard law, sendo aplicadas na qualidade de normas de soft law. Discutimos aqui a validade e importância de tais normas, no âmbito da Codificação do Direito de Águas. Para tal, fazemos um levantamento bibliográfico que visa o resgate histórico do surgimento do Direito de Águas, e trazemos importantes conceitos aplicáveis à temática. PALAVRAS-CHAVECodificação. Direito. Águas. ABSTRACTThe importance of water as a vital resource for humanity and the disputes over access to this resource are increasingly intense. Together with these facts, a large part of the planet´s water resources are shared between two or more States. These facts have led to a number of international organizations, including the Institut de Droit International and the International Law Association to embark in efforts to codify the International water Law. However, despite all the efforts made, the rules adopted did not obtain the status of hard law, being only accepted and applied as soft law. We discuss here the validity and importance of such standards, within the framework of the codification of water law. To do this, we make a bibliographical research that aims to review the emergence of Water Law historically, and to bring important concepts applicable to this thematic. KEYWORDSCodification. Law.

Authors: Franze Jose Joaquim , Maloa Joaquim Miranda 
Published: August 2019

RESUMOAtravés do método comparativo, este artigo aborda o tráfico de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual, a partir de uma perspectiva comparativa entre Moçambique e outros países da Comunidade para o Desenvolvimento da África Austral (SADC), bem como o seu enquadramento legal. A Partir da revisão bibliográfica, reportagens jornalísticas e entrevistas com atores significativos do cotidiano moçambicano, constatou-se que o tráfico de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual, constitui uma realidade inegável, pois, muitas mulheres são traficadas com promessa de uma vida melhor em grandes centros urbanos. No caso de Moçambique, essas mulheres saem das suas áreas residenciais, principalmente no interior, com a esperança de uma integração social através de trabalho remunerável e acabam caindo nas mãos de traficantes, tornando-se escravas sexuais a favor de terceiros. Muitos desses casos terminam pela sua infeção por doenças de transmissão sexual, resultando em mortes. Também-se observou que tanto em Moçambique como em outros países da SADC, esta realidade ocorre devido a exclusão socioeconômica de muitas famílias que veem no convite de trabalho a oportunidade de melhorar a sua condição de vida.

ABSTRACTThrough the comparative method, this article addresses trafficking in women for purposes of sexual exploitation from a comparative perspective between Mozambique and other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, as well as their legal framework. From the bibliographical review, journalistic reports and interviews with significant actors in Mozambican daily life, it was found that the trafficking of women for the purpose of sexual exploitation is an undeniable reality, since many women are trafficked with a promise of a better life in large centers urban In the case of Mozambique, these women leave their residential areas, mainly in the interior, in the hope of a social integration through paid work and end up falling into the hands of traffickers, becoming sexual slaves in favor of third parties. Many of these cases end up with their infection from sexually transmitted diseases, resulting in deaths. It was also observed that in Mozambique and in other SADC countries, this reality occurs due to the socioeconomic exclusion of many families that see in the work invitation the opportunity to improve their living conditions.KEYWORDSTrafficking of women.

Riscos do imperativo da convicção na jurisprudência: do “diritto mite” ao “diritto morbido”?
Authors: Taporosky Filho Paulo Silas , Dissenha Rui Carlo 
Published: August 2019

RESUMODiante do quadro social contemporâneo, que pressiona as instituições jurídicas a serem ativas no sentido de garantirem clamores populares como a luta contra a sensação social de insegurança, é natural que o Judiciário ganhe protagonismo e termine com uma posição ativa na sua jurisprudência. O que se tem percebido, entretanto, é que, no plano penal, é comum que esse ativismo judicial seja lançado no sentido da reinterpretação de normas garantistas de forma a produzir um aumento do poder punitivo. Fato é que o julgador pode tender a adotar fundamentações que escapam ao jurídico e, mesmo, ao dogmático, para atender a demandas populistas e de ordem pragmática. Nesse exercício, é possível que o Julgador penal siga para além da razoável e constitucional flexibilidade (“mitezza”) do Direito reconhecida por Zagrebelsky, e transforme o Direito em uma massa flácida e amorfa facilmente adaptável aos seus critérios pessoais (“morbida”). Esse exercício, corroborado pelo apoio de parte da doutrina e das falhas do próprio sistema processual penal, são de extremo risco a um poder punitivo controlado e podem produzir, ao mesmo tempo um Judiciário que apenas repete demandas populares e que fomenta a formação de um Estado-gendarme. PALAVRAS-CHAVEJurisdição penal. Decisionismo judicial. Aumento do poder punitivo. ABSTRACTIn the face of the contemporary social situation, which pressures legal institutions to be active in order to guarantee popular demands such as the fight against the sensation of insecurity, it is natural for the judiciary to gain prominence and end up with in an active position in its judgments. What has been perceived, however, is that, in the criminal sphere, it is common that this judicial activism to be used in the sense of reinterpreting norms in order to produce an increase in punitive power. The fact is that the judge may tend to adopt reasons that escape the juridical sense and even the dogmatic, to meet populist and pragmatic demands. In this exercise, it is possible for the criminal judge to go beyond the reasonable and constitutional flexibility (“miteza”) of the Law recognized by Zagrebelsky, and turn the Law into a flaccid and amorphous mass easily adaptable to its personal (“morbid”) criteria. This exercise, corroborated by the support of the doctrine and the failures of the criminal procedural system itself, is an extreme risk to a controlled punitive power and can procedure, at the same time, a Judiciary that only repeats popular demands and that foments the formation of a Gendarme State.KEYWORDSCriminal jurisdiction.

A New Formula-Based Measurement Guide for Optimal Positioning of Central Venous Catheters
Authors: Lum Phllip 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Purpose: To validate the formula-based central venous catheter (CVC) length measurement “tailored” to individual's height and access site for predicting optimum SVC tip position.
Method: A prospective study of 3 percutaneous insertion sites (PICC, SCC and JC). Formula-based “LUM'S CVC MEASUREMENT GUIDE” was used to determine the catheter length.
Results: Overall, 97% (373) of the total 382 insertions were successfully placed with CVC tip in the distal SVC (SVC between carina and atrio-cava junction) location.
Conclusion: The “tailored fit” formula to individual patient height is a reliable tool to predict CVC length. Appropriate catheter length can greatly reduce the guesswork and possibility of complications related to tip malposition.
