Surgery for liver metastases from primary melanoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textBACKGROUND: Historically , liver metastases due to melanoma have been associated with dismal prognosis. Moreover, the actual survival benefit from the treatment of melanoma liver metastases is still controversial. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the difference in surgical versus non-surgical options for melanoma liver metastases. METHODS: Four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) were searched from inception to July 17, 2022. Studies were included if they compared outcomes between surgical and non-surgical treatment for patients with liver metastases from resectable melanoma. Meta-analyses were performed for the outcomes of 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 5-year OS. Sensitivity analyses were performed for outcomes with substantial statistical heterogeneity. To account for possible moderators that might contribute to statistical heterogeneity, univariate meta-regression with mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses were conducted for the outcome of 2-year OS. RESULTS: The search yielded 6610 articles; 13 studies were included in our analysis. Meta-analyses showed that survival outcomes were in favour of patients undergoing surgery as compared to non-surgery: 1-year OS (HR = 0.29, 95%CI 0.19-0.44, p < 0.00001), 2-year OS (HR = 0.19, 95%CI 0.09-0.38, p < 0.00001), 3-year OS (HR = 0.07, 95%CI 0.03-0.19, p < 0.00001) and 5-year OS (HR = 0.07, 95%CI 0.02-0.22, p < 0.00001). All included studies were of high quality. There was moderate-to-high statistical heterogeneity. Findings were robust to sensitivity analyses. Subgroup analyses and univariate meta-regression revealed neoadjuvant therapy and age as statistically significant subgroup and moderator respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that surgical treatment of melanoma liver metastases could offer better OS outcomes compared with non-surgical treatment

No full textHow Effective are Capital Controls?
No full textIn the aftermath of the East Asian crisis a number of authors have argued that capital mobility is highly destabilizing, and that emerging countries would benefit from restricting capital flows. In this paper I investigate, from a historical perspective, the effectiveness of capital controls. I deal with Tobin taxes, controls on outflows and controls on inflows. I argue that controls on outflows have seldom worked as expected. They introduce major distortions and breed corruption. Market-based controls on inflows - similar to those implemented by Chile - have the potential for lengthening the maturity of foreign debt. They are not very effective, however, in achieving other objectives, including a higher degree of monetary policy independence.

Capital Mobility and Economic Performance: Are Emerging Economies Different?
No full textIn this paper I use a new cross-country data set to investigate the effects of capital mobility on economic growth. The new indicator of capital mobility used in this analysis is superior to previously used indexes in two respects: (1) It allows for intermediate situations, where a country's capital account is semi-open; and (2) it is available for two different periods in time. The results obtained suggest that, after controlling for other variables (including aggregate investment), countries with a more open capital account have outperformed countries that have restricted capital mobility. There is also evidence, however, suggesting that an open capital account positively affects growth only after a country has achieved a certain degree of economic development. This provides support to the view that there is an optimal sequencing for capital account liberalization.

Corchado, Beta-Hebbian Learning to enhance unsupervised exploratory visualizations of Android malware families, Logic Journal of the IGPL, Volume 32, Issue 2, April 2024, Pages 306–320 is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1093/jigpal/jzae014[Abstract] As it is well known, mobile phones have become a basic gadget for any individual that usually stores sensitive information. This mainly motivates the increase in the number of attacks aimed at jeopardizing smartphones, being an extreme concern above all on Android OS, which is the most popular platform in the market. Consequently, a strong effort has been devoted for mitigating mentioned incidents in recent years, even though few researchers have addressed the application of visualization techniques for the analysis of malware. Within this field, the present work proposes the extension of a new technique called Hybrid Unsupervised Exploratory Plots to visualize Android malware datasets. More precisely, the novel Beta-Hebbian Learning (BHL) method is applied for the first time and validated under the frame of Hybrid Unsupervised Exploratory Plots, in conjunction with clustering methods. The informative visualization achieved provides a picture of the structure of the malware families, allowing subsequent analysis of their organization. To validate the Hybrid Unsupervised Exploratory Plot extension and its tuning, the popular Android Malware Genome dataset has been used in the experimental setting. Promising results have been obtained, suggesting that BHL applied in combination with clustering techniques in Hybrid Unsupervised Exploratory Plots are a viable resource for the visualization of malware families.Xunta de Galicia; ED431G 2019/0

No full textEl legado de la Doctrina Calvo en el control constitucional del estándar de trato justo y equitativo en Colombia
No full textEl presente articulo tiene como objetivo analizar los orígenes e importancia de la Doctrina Calvo en la región latinoamericana, identificando los principios de soberanía estatal que la sustentan. A partir de esta base, se pretende examinar cómo el legado sobre soberanía estatal de la Doctrina Calvo se manifiesta en el cambio jurisprudencial de la Corte Constitucional colombiana en su función de control constitucional previo y automático sobre los Acuerdos Internacionales de Inversión. El estudio pone especial énfasis en el estándar de Trato Justo y Equitativo, dado que este ha sido el más controvertido dentro del Sistema Internacional de Inversiones y uno de los estándares más invocados en los litigios contra la República de Colombia en los últimos años.This article aims to analyze the origins, and significance of the Calvo Doctrine in Latin America, identifying the sovereignty principles that support it. Building on this foundation, the study examines how the state sovereignty legacy of the Calvo Doctrine is reflected in the jurisprudential shifts of Colombia’s Constitutional Court, especially in its role of prior and automatic constitutional review of International Investment Agreements. The study places particular emphasis on the Fair and Equitable Treatment standard, as it has been the most controversial within the International Investment System and one of the most frequently invoked standards in litigation against the Republic of Colombia in recent years.Maestrí
