TERRITORIALIDADE, JURISDIÇÃO E INTERNET: ALGUNS ASPECTOS DE DIREITO INTERNACIONAL PRIVADO
Authors: Tiburcio Carmen , Albuquerque Felipe 
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo examina a interrelação entre as concepções espaciais subjacentes ao direito internacional privado e à internet. Para isso, apresenta-se um panorama das regras de fixação da jurisdição no direito internacional privado para, em seguida, examinar decisões de tribunais brasileiros, norte-americanos e europeus examinando a delimitação da competência internacional em casos envolvendo a internet. O objetivo do trabalho é examinar como algumas premissas tradicionais do direito internacional privado foram afetadas pela superveniência da internet e, ao contrário, como a regulação afetou o desenvolvimento da internet. O artigo sustenta que o uso intensivo de critérios como acessibilidade e dano demonstra a resiliência do conceito de territorialidade no direito internacional privado e está na origem de algumas ferramentas amplamente utilizadas atualmente, como mecanismos de geolocalização, redes privadas virtuais (VPNs) e restrições geográficas em contratos de distribuição. Não obstante representarem, fundamentalmente, um conflito entre concepções espaciais abstratas, essas visões divergentes apresentam repercussões concretas relevantes. O artigo examina como os sistemas de fixação de jurisdição no direito internacional privado responderam aos desafios postos pelo crescente número de litígios envolvendo ilícitos praticados pela internet e, sob outra perspectiva, como a concepção de jurisdição produziu efeitos sobre a concepção original da internet. Embora não seja o único exemplo, o caso tipicamente discutido pela doutrina envolve a publicação online de conteúdo reputado ofensivo por indivíduo ou empresa cujo domicílio ou sede se encontra em local diverso daquele onde se encontra a sede da empresa responsável pela publicação do conteúdo. De modo a examinar o tema, o presente artigo (i) apresenta as regras tradicionais de fixação no direito internacional privado; e (ii) examina as soluções encontradas por tribunais brasileiros, norte-americanos e europeus para a fixação de jurisdição em litígios civis envolvendo a internet. Como se demonstrará, se a internet foi inicialmente concebida como um espaço sem fronteiras, exigências econômicas e políticas, mas também jurídicas, estão na origem de um número cada vez maior de restrições (territoriais) à livre circulação de dados na internet. Para elaboração do artigo, adotou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, incluindo literatura jurídica nacional e estrangeira, e a pesquisa jurisprudencial concentrada nas decisões proferidas pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ).
Designing high-speed GEO-to-Moon optical wireless communication links

Published: November 2023

Moon exploration and colonization will strongly rely upon high-speed optical wireless communications over a huge distance (around 400,000 km). Here, we introduce a holistic model, including the propagation issues as well as the realistic communication limitations and the expected practical limitations. We focus on the communication issues in a link connecting a GEO satellite to a fixed Moon optical station: here, we consider the challenging 10 Gbit/s transmission rate, and we assume an optical pre-amplified receiver, which is today the only option for high speed; we then select three different modulation formats, with corresponding implementations and increasing complexity and performance. Under these assumptions, we estimate the common operating conditions at the forward error correction threshold and point out the role of the transmitter and receiver telescopes: for practical size (e.g., 1 m), relevant limitations arise, which we combine with the typical photons-per-bit sensitivity values in an optical link. We find that all considered modulation formats can be used at 10 Gbit/s, although with different margins and hardware requirements, particularly considering the size of the optical antennas. We then extend the analysis to higher rates, up to 40 Gbit/s. This work can open the way to the realization of optical wireless communication systems to/from the future Moon Village.
What are the impacts of oral complications from cancer therapy on the quality of life of children? A protocol to update a scoping review
Authors: Attaran Nona , Sharma Apoorva , Morris Martin , Dudubo Olawale , Macdonald Mary Ellen 
Published: November 2023

Introduction
Cancer treatments can damage healthy tissues and organs, and leave harmful impacts on cancer survivors, especially on children and adolescents. The oral effects of cancer treatment can occur during or soon after treatment, or months–even years–later. Cancer treatments can also affect the child, psychologically and socially by hindering their speech, eating, sleeping, and social interactions. These effects can have profound impacts on children’s quality of life. Building on a previous review published in 2012, this scoping review aims to identify and map the current evidence base underpinning the oral health-related impacts of cancer treatment on the quality of life of children with cancer.

Methodology and methods
Our methodology is guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework for scoping reviews, Levac’s additions to the framework, and follows the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual. Five electronic databases and grey literature will be systematically searched using a predefined search strategy. Two reviewers will independently screen the retrieved articles using Rayyan software and chart data from included articles. One of the team’s senior research members will act as a third reviewer and make the final decision on disputed documents. We will include literature with a focus on oral health-related quality of life of children undergoing cancer treatments. Following the selection of studies, data will be extracted, synthesized, and reported thematically and the relevant stakeholder’s insight will be added to our results.

Published: November 2023

Background
The association between the intake of dietary n3 and n6 fatty acids and the risk of stroke is subject to debate. The primary objective of the present research was to establish the correlation in a large sample of American adults.

Methods
Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2018, the association of the intake of dietary n3 and n6 fatty acids with stroke events was analyzed in a sample of 29,459 adults. The intake of n3 and n6 fatty acids intake was assessed though two 24-h dietary recalls. Stroke outcomes were identified based on the responses provided in self-reported questionnaire. Logistic regression was fitted to evaluate the correlation of dietary n3, n6 fatty acids intake with stroke events.

Results
Subjects in the highest tertile (T3) of dietary n3 (OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.49–0.93), n6 (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45–0.95) fatty acids intake were found to have obviously lower risk of stroke compared to those in the lowest tertile (T1), but the n6:n3 ratio was not found to be associated with a stroke event. Results from stratified analysis demonstrated that dietary n3 fatty acids had an inverse correlation of stroke in both male and female, but dietary n6 fatty acids only had this correlation in male. Moreover, findings were made that the interaction was significant in terms of age in the subgroup analysis, and the negative relationship between the intake of dietary n3 and n6 fatty acids and stroke event were particularly pronounced among participants aged ≥60.

Conclusions
The present results suggested that increased dietary n3, n6 fatty acids intake correlated with a lower risk of stroke.

Published: November 2023

Background and objective
Several studies suggest that air pollution, particularly PM2.5, increases morbidity and mortality, Emergency Department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations for acute respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. However, no prior study in Southeastern Asia (SEA) has examined the effects of air pollutants on ED visits and health outcomes. This study focused on the association of the Air Quality Index (AQI) of PM2.5 and other pollutants’ effects on ED visits, hospitalization, and unexpected deaths due to acute respiratory disease, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute heart failure (AHF), and stroke.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective study with daily data from ED visits between 2018 and 2019 at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The AQI of air pollution data was collected from outdoor air quality from the Smoke Haze Integrated Research Unit and the Air Quality Index Visual Map. A distributed lag, non-linear and quasi-Poisson models were used to explore the relationship between air quality parameters and ED visits for each disease.

Results
3,540 ED visits were recorded during the study period. The mean daily AQI of PM2.5 was 89.0 ± 40.2. We observed associations between AQI of PM2.5 and the ED visits due to ACS on the following day (RR = 1.023, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.002–1.044) and two days after exposure (RR = 1.026, 95% CI: 1.005–1.047). Also, subgroup analysis revealed the association between AQI of PM2.5 and the ED visits due to pneumonia on the current day (RR = 1.071, 95% CI: 1.025–1.118) and on the following day after exposure (RR = 1.024, 95% CI: 1.003–1.046). AQI of PM2.5 associated with increased mortality resulted from ACS on lag day 3 (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.08–1.73). The AQI of PM10 is also associated with increased ED visits due to COPD/asthma and increased hospitalization in AHF. In addition, the AQI of O3 and AQI of NO2 is associated with increased ICU admissions and mortality in AHF.

Conclusion
Short-term PM2.5 exposure escalates ED visits for ACS and pneumonia. PM10’s AQI associates with COPD/asthma ED visits and AHF hospitalizations. AQI of O3 and NO2’s link to increased ICU admissions and AHF mortality. Urgent action against air pollution is vital to safeguard public health.
Psycho-social factors associated with type two diabetes remission through lifestyle intervention: A scoping review
Authors: Hart Kathy J. , Kubilius Andrew , Clark Martin 
Published: November 2023

Objectives
There is growing evidence that type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be put into remission through lifestyle intervention. Current focus on remission in terms of physiological considerations and biomedical scales, means there is limited understanding of the role psycho-social factors play in moderating the efficacy of lifestyle interventions for T2D remission. In the current review we aimed to synthesise the emerging literature on psycho-social factors associated with T2D remission, specifically from lifestyle interventions.

Methods
Five databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL ultimate, PsychINFO and PsycArticles) were searched to identify studies from 2009 onwards that reported remission outcomes from lifestyle interventions in participants ≥ 18years old, with a clinical diagnosis of T2D. Studies included were of an interventional or observational design and restricted to English language. Screening and data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers using prespecified criteria.

Results
In total 6106 studies were screened, 36 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included. Studies were globally diverse, with 30 (83%) being published ≥ 2017. Psycho-social scales were under-utilised with 22 (67%) of studies failing to include any psycho-social measures. Single arm, prospective studies were most frequently utilised, however study quality was perceived to be heterogeneous. Further disparity in the quality, content and delineation of the psycho-social interventions was also identified. Education and self-monitoring interventions were the most frequently incorporated. Self-monitoring was also identified as an important facilitator to remission, in addition to social support.

Conclusions
Our findings indicate that psycho-social factors in T2D remission are under-explored. We have identified a number of methodological issues (comparability, conflicting remission criteria and poorly defined psycho-social interventions) suggesting knowledge gaps which could inform the methodology of future research design. There is significant opportunity for future research to incorporate the social model of disease, conceptualise remission more holistically, and build a more comprehensive evidence base to guide clinical practice.
Clinical effectiveness of screening for age-related macular degeneration: A systematic review
Authors: Gomes Dalila Fernandes , Curado Daniel da Silva Pereira , Gomes Rosângela Maria , Leite Betânia Ferreira , Ramos Maíra Catharina , Silva Everton Nunes da 
Published: November 2023

Introduction
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that occurs in patients over 50 years old. Early diagnosis enables timely treatment to stabilize disease progression. However, the fact that the disease is asymptomatic in its early stages can delay treatment until it progresses. As such, screening in specific contexts can be an early detection tool to reduce the clinical and social impact of the disease.

Objective
Assess the effectiveness of screening methods for early detection of AMD in adults aged 50 years or older.

Methods
A systematic review of comparative observational studies on AMD screening methods in those aged 50 years or older, compared with no screening or any other strategy. A literature search was conducted in the MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library and Lilacs database.

Results
A total of 5,290 studies were identified, three of which met the inclusion criteria and were selected for the systematic review. A total of 8,733 individuals (16,780 eyes) were included in the analysis. The screening methods assessed were based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) compared with color fundus photography, and OCT and telemedicine testing compared to a standard eye exam.

Conclusion
The systematized data are limited and only suggest satisfactory performance in early screening of the population at risk of developing AMD. OCT and the telemedicine technique showed promising results in AMD screening. However, methodological problems were identified in the studies selected and the level of evidence was considered low.

Published: November 2023

Background
Evaluating community-based programs provides value to researchers, funding entities, and community stakeholders involved in program implementation, and can increase program impact and sustainability. To understand factors related to program implementation, we aimed to capture the perspective of community partners engaged in organizing and executing community-engaged programs to distribute COVID-19 at-home tests in underserved communities.

Methods
We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with community-based stakeholders informed by the Outcomes for Implementation Research framework.

Results
Findings describe how community-engaged communication and dissemination strategies drove program adoption among grassroots stakeholders. Establishing and sustaining trusted relationships was vital to engaging partners with aligned values and capacity. Respondents characterized the programs as generally feasible and appropriate, and community partners felt capable of delivering the program successfully. However, they also described an increased burden on their workforce and desired more significant support. Respondents recognized the programs’ community engagement practices as a critical facilitator of acceptability and impact.

Discussion
Implementation evaluation aims to inform current and future community outreach and engagement efforts with best practices. As we continue to inform and advance community-engaged disaster response practice, a parallel reimagining of public health funding mechanisms and timelines could provide a foundation for trust, collaboration, and community resiliency that endures beyond a given crisis.

Published: November 2023

Background
Hyperuricemia is common during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, especially in association with pyrazinamide (PZA). This study investigated the relationship between major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and hyperuricemia during TB treatment.

Methods
We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study. From January 2010 through June 2017, we assessed all consecutive TB patients at Chonnam National University Hospital in South Korea. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid levels exceeding 7.0 mg/dL (men) and 6.0 mg/dL (women).

Results
Of the 1,143 patients included, PZA was administered to 1,081 (94.6%), and hyperuricemia was detected in 941 (82.3%). Eight patients experienced MACEs. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression indicated that prior ischemic heart disease was associated with MACE development (OR,14.087; 95% CI,3.304–60.061; P < 0.000), while hyperuricemia was not (OR, 1.505; 95% CI, 0.184–12.299; P = 0.703). For patients without drug-resistant TB, the absence of hyperuricemia was associated with higher mortality (OR, 2.609; 95% CI, 1.066–6.389; P = 0.036), whereas hyperuricemia was associated with less worse outcomes (OR,0.316; 95% CI,0.173–0.576; P < 0.000).

Conclusions
Although most patients treated with PZA developed hyperuricemia, it was not associated with MACE development. Hyperuricemia during TB treatment was associated with better outcomes, possibly due to consistent adherence to TB treatment.

Specific Storage or Elastic Modulus of Solid Matrix in Aquifers and Aquitards—Results from Slug Tests: A Review and a Clarification
Authors: Chapuis Robert P. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Hydrogeology defines specific storage, Ss, to quantify the ability of a saturated layer to release or take water when the hydraulic head is changed, resulting in a change in the solid matrix volume. ASTM D4104/D4104M-20, Standard Practice for (Analytical Procedures) Determining Transmissivity of Nonleaky Confined Aquifers by Overdamped Well Response to Instantaneous Change in Head (Slug Tests), has a method to assess the Ss value. The article explains how continuum mechanics relate Ss to the constrained (one-dimensional vertical) elastic modulus, E′, of the solid matrix. As a result, Ss has a limited range of values for soil and rock, but this limitation has not received enough attention. Continuum mechanics have already proven that slug tests cannot give Ss, contrary to the opinion of a few slug test users. Short tables clarify and summarize the strangeness of the slug test theory with Ss. The Ss values are in the 10−4–10−7 m−1 range according to continuum mechanics, but the slug test theory yields a 100–10−20 range. The comparison shows that the slug test theory with Ss gives only 5 % of realistic Ss values. The tests in soil and rock often yield Ss values that are those of materials either stiffer that steel or softer than peat. An example clarifies this finding. A monitoring well (MW) was tested with three sets of sensors having different calibration errors: the three test datasets yielded a wide Ss range for the sand tested by the MW. Recommendations are made to avoid misinterpreting test data and improve current standards. The slug test theory with Ss is based on errors in math and physics, and its supporters have so far delayed the use of physically correct methods in ASTM standards. The article does not question the ability of pumping tests and geophysical methods to extract the value of Ss or E′.

AbstractViruses are vulnerable as they transmit between hosts, and we aimed to exploit this critical window. We found that the ubiquitous, safe, inexpensive and biodegradable small molecule propylene glycol (PG) has robust virucidal activity. Propylene glycol rapidly inactivates a broad range of viruses including influenza A, SARS‐CoV‐2 and rotavirus and reduces disease burden in mice when administered intranasally at concentrations commonly found in nasal sprays. Most critically, vaporised PG efficiently abolishes influenza A virus and SARS‐CoV‐2 infectivity within airborne droplets, potently preventing infection at levels well below those tolerated by mammals. We present PG vapour as a first‐in‐class non‐toxic airborne virucide that can prevent transmission of existing and emergent viral pathogens, with clear and immediate implications for public health.
