Rezūm™: yay or nay? From the patients’ perspective: a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) study from a single UK centre
Authors: Oliyide Abisola E. , Adeyoju Adebanji A.B. 
Published: December 2022

Background: RezūmTM steam ablation therapy is an effective minimally invasive surgical therapy for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to assess the perception of this treatment from the patients’ perspective at a single centre.
Methods: A patient reported outcome measure (PROM) questionnaire was sent to 65 consecutive patients at least 6 months after undergoing RezūmTM therapy. We evaluated changes in their prostate symptoms, quality of life (QoL) as well as new onset sexual dysfunction.
Results: A total of 44 questionnaires were analysed with a response rate of 67.7%. Mean prostate volume was 62 mL in a mean population age of 68 years. There was a significant improvement in mean International Prostate Symptom Score and QoL scores (P < 0.0001). There was a higher rate of de novo sexual dysfunction noted as compared to other studies. Retreatment procedures occurred in 4.3% of patients, whilst 88.9% reported being medication free. Thirty-five (79.5%) respondents will recommend the procedure.
Conclusions: This study highlighted that the beneficial effects of RezūmTM observed clinically were also perceived positively by patients in a real-world setting, which is just as equally important.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. The land surface, hydrological, and groundwater modelling communities all have expertise in simulating the hydrological processes at play in the terrestrial component of the Earth system. However, these communities, and the wider Earth system modelling community, have largely remained distinct with limited collaboration between disciplines, hindering progress in the representation of hydrological processes in the land component of Earth system models (ESMs). In order to address key societal questions regarding the future availability of water resources and the intensity of extreme events such as floods and droughts in a changing climate, these communities must come together and build on the strengths of one another to produce next-generation land system models that are able to adequately simulate the terrestrial water cycle under change. The development of a common modelling infrastructure can contribute to stimulating cross-fertilisation by structuring and standardising the interactions. This paper presents such an infrastructure, a land system framework, which targets an intermediate level of complexity and constrains interfaces between components (and communities) and, in doing so, aims to facilitate an easier pipeline between the development of (sub-)community models and their integration, both for standalone use and for use in ESMs. This paper first outlines the conceptual design and technical capabilities of the framework; thereafter, its usage and useful characteristics are demonstrated through case studies. The main innovations presented here are (1) the interfacing constraints themselves; (2) the implementation in Python (the Unified Framework for Hydrology, unifhy); and (3) the demonstration of standalone use cases using the framework. The existing framework does not yet meet all our goals, in particular, of directly supporting integration into larger ESMs, so we conclude with the remaining limitations of the current framework and necessary future developments.
CARBON FOOTPRINTS & GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE IN RELATIONSHIP TO PUBLIC HEALTH & LOCAL ECONOMIC EFFECTS
Authors: OKEKE G. N 
Published: December 2022

Carbon footprints of individuals and organizations around the globe are fueling the current climate change trend leading to enormous negative effects on human health and the economy. The carbon generated by humans and their activities are heating the earth unsustainable and the evidence is well established in the literature. The impacts of human carbon footprints induced climate change on health and the economy are been published widely in the literature. This review succinctly x-rayed the impact of human carbon footprints on public health and the economy within the African context. The relationship between carbon footprint and public health was conceptualized as continuous cyclic interaction, continuously bringing woes to mankind. Carbon footprint impact on public health was presented to be in two ways – directly or indirectly. The direct impact of carbon footprints on public health was explored under five (5) thematic areas, which are: impact on extreme weather events (hurricanes, storms, and floods), impacts on temperature, impacts to air pollution, impacts to water- and foodborne diseases, and impacts to vector and rodent-borne diseases. The impact of a carbon footprint on the economy was seen as an indirect impact on humans and a huge change in human lives. It is recommended that carbon footprints should be calculated at every level individual, organization, process, product, national and continental; to drive accountability to the environment by all and for all

Published: December 2022

Esta pesquisa, de natureza bibliográfica documental, teve por objetivo analisar os avanços sociais nas últimas décadas os quais foram relevantes para a garantia de direitos humanos de crianças e adolescentes no Brasil. Apresentamos o contexto histórico e normativas legais, destacando o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, principal lei no que se refere aos direitos de meninas e meninos em nosso país. Analisando dados e levantamentos estatísticos realizadas sobre o tema, percebemos que embora tenha havido significativas mudanças e conquistas em relação a proteção integral de crianças e adolescentes, essas ainda se encontram no campo jurídico e político-conceitual, não chegando efetivamente a quem se destina. A educação é apresentada como medida preventiva ao ato infracional, fundamental para assegurar mudança de paradigmas e a efetivação de uma sociedade justa, igualitária e fraterna para todos os cidadãos brasileiros.

The Impact of Corporate Governance Factors and the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Publishing Date of Annual Reports of UK Listed Companies
Authors: Alqatamin Rateb M. , Shbeilat Mohammad K. 
Published: December 2022

The aim of the current study is to examine the role of corporate governance structure and the COVID-19 pandemic on the issuing date of annual reporting of UK non-financial institutions. The corporate governance factors that were examined are: audit committee; board characteristics; ownership structure. To achieve the study objective, the sample’s data was collected from the financial reporting of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange during the period 2008 to 2021. To examine the effect of COVID -19, the sample was spilt into two groups: before and after 2019. The data collected was analysed by using the panel regression random effect method; the issuing date of annual reporting was measured by counting the number of days that passed between year-end and the date of the issuing of financial reports. The study’s findings show that there is a significant relationship between board size, independency of board, audit independence, audit experience, and the issuing date of annual reports. Moreover, after splitting the study’s sample, the empirical results supported that the COVID -19 pandemic has a negative effect on the corporate governance mechanisms that enhance the issuing date of annual reports. The study extends prior studies with evidence that demonstrates a relationship between issuing date (timeliness) of annual reports and the strength of corporate governance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and consequently, these findings confirm that corporate governance factors and auditing process enhance annual reporting quality.
Topical Antibiotic Powder and Nonunion Risk in Surgically Treated Tibial Plateau and Pilon Fractures

Introduction:
High-energy periarticular tibia fractures are challenging injuries with a significant risk of complications. Postoperative infection rates, although improved, remain unacceptable. Intrawound topical antibiotic (TA) application has been popularized to reduce postoperative infections. Although TA may minimize infections, it remains unclear whether TAs have any impact on the development of nonunion. Recent investigations of TA use in fracture care have questioned its efficacy in vivo and suggested a potentially deleterious effect on fracture healing. This study investigates the impact of TA on nonunion rates in surgically treated high-energy periarticular tibia fractures.

Methods:
Retrospective analysis of surgically treated periarticular tibia fractures at a single Level 1 trauma center was conducted. Intervention in question was the clinical effect of intrawound TA powder application at definitive closure. A total of 222 high-energy periarticular tibia fractures were included, 114 with TA use and 108 without. The primary outcome was the occurrence of nonunion, with secondary outcomes being superficial and deep postoperative surgical site infections.

Results:
Twenty-seven patients (12.1%) were diagnosed with nonunions (14 pilons and 13 plateaus). There was no statistically significant difference in nonunion rates among patients who received topical antibiotics (15.8%) versus the group of patients who did not (8.3%) (P = 0.23). Odds of developing nonunion was significant for open injuries (odds ratio 6.16, P < 0.001) and patients with a provisional external fixator (odds ratio 8.72, P = 0.03) before definitive fixation. No notable difference in the number of superficial and deep infections was identified between groups.

Conclusion:
The use of TA in high-energy periarticular tibia fractures showed no statistically significant increase in nonunion rates but did not conclusively rule out nonunion as a possible effect of intrawound TA. Additional large-scale multicenter prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings. The current body of literature regarding high-energy periarticular tibia fractures does suggest that TAs lower the risk of postoperative infections, but the nonunion risk remains unclear.

Subrogation: An Unidentified Legal Object? A Proposal for a Solution to the Renowned Problem of the Legal Construction of Subrogation
Authors: Korkmaz Ekin 
Published: December 2022

Subrogation, originating from Roman law, is an institution adopted in civil law jurisdictions with minor differences. According to the general definition and understanding, subrogation means the legal (ipso iure) transfer of the creditor’s right to claim to the third-party, who performs someone else’s debt, for granting him/her a privileged legal status in his (recourse) relationship with the debtor. The privileged legal status of the third-party, who benefits from the subrogation, lies in the legal transfer of accessory and priority rights arising out of the right to claim. Because of its exceptional feature, considerable efforts have been made to explain the legal nature of subrogation. However, because of its complexity, there is still no consensus on the issue. There are even views implying that subrogation is an unidentified legal object.
The author suggests an explanation to the construction of subrogation in three main steps:
(1) Parallel to the prevailing view regarding performance of the third-party, it should be accepted that the will of the third-party is decisive concerning the legal consequences of the performance.
(2) Then it should be assumed that the third-party performs the debtor’s debt with the will to acquire (causa acquirendi) in addition to the will to discharge the debtor’s debt (causa solvendi) so that his performance can result in subrogation.
(3) Finally, the ‘third-party’ should be redefined in the cases of subrogation.
Alongside these steps, the construction of subrogation is based on the theory that a debt may only terminate when its inherent purpose is realized. Therefore, in cases of subrogation, the right to claim continues to exist even after the third-party’s performance with the purpose of serving the right to recourse. This purpose also limits the thirdparty’s powers.
This article examines the subrogation’s legal construction by explaining the abovementioned concepts and determining their connections.

On 13 October 2022, a broad amendment to the Polish Commercial Companies Code (KSH) entered into force. Under this amendment, the term ‘group of companies’ covers a controlling company and a subsidiary company or companies that are capital companies, following the resolution on participation in the group by a qualified majority of ¾ of the votes of the shareholders’ meeting of the subsidiary company. His means that the will of the companies participating in the group decides whether to apply this new regulation: it does not work ex lege, but ex contractu.

The Role of Payment Services in the Development of the Big Tech Ecosystem
Authors: Canepa Allegra 
Published: December 2022

Big techs have gained a predominant footing in the digital market thanks to their ability to retain users and reduce any space for other operators to achieve independence in the market. These US and Chinese companies have acquired and consolidated their market power thanks to their ecosystem structure and the offer of multiple services, mainly payment services. In order to gain a complete understanding of the development and consolidation of these ecosystems, it is crucial to analyse the methods, conditions, and timing of this offer of payment services. However, the offer of these services entails new risks for financial stability which can increase if the platforms decide to issue stablecoins. Indeed any issuance of stablecoins differentiated by ecosystem and specialized by function could generate a potential unbundling of the monetary function.

‘Average’ Consumers Navigating the New Digital Food Chain: Influencers, Online Reviews and Rankings
Authors: Lattanzi Amina 
Published: December 2022

With more and more consumers relying on online platforms to buy groceries and meals, traditional food labelling has been trumped by information arising from new features of today’s digital commerce. Instead of being affected by objective data on products’ origin, nutrition characteristics and allergens, individuals are increasingly drawn to feelings and perceptions conveyed by influencers’ experiences, online ratings, and rankings. In this sense, food information has become a different and larger notion than that on which EU Food Law is based on. This article examines the dynamics affecting the behaviour of food consumers online and how – and better yet, whether – EU law is responding to the challenges they raise.

Corruption Allegations in Arbitration: Burden and Standard of Proof, Red Flags, and a Proposal for Systematization
Authors: Valle Martim Della , de Carvalho Pedro Schilling 
Published: December 2022

Arbitration is widely regarded as one of the most efficient mechanisms to solve complex commercial disputes. However, it has not yet been able to present sufficiently cohesive solutions for cases involving contracts obtained through corruption and, oftentimes, the current arbitrator’s toolkit might not be enough to deal with such disputes without compromising the decision, risking its enforceability, and eventually unsettling the status quo of arbitration as an adequate mechanism for dealing with commercial disputes. To harmonize the current treatment of corruption allegations in arbitration and the broader societal fight against corruption, this article analyses the issues arising out of corruption allegations in arbitration and demonstrates how burden and standard of proof can be used as the missing link to seek such cohesiveness. Moreover, it analyses how the use of red flags – which can be obtained primarily from anti-corruption compliance practice – in arbitration is desirable. As a result, this article proposes a systemized framework for addressing allegations of corruption, in which a red flag of great gravity or the accumulation of red flags, in the absence of counterevidence or sufficient evidence to rule out the plausibility of the risk, authorizes arbitrators to apply negative inferences vis-à-vis the suspicion of corruption.
