Abstract	The ability to produce high movement speeds is a crucial factor in human motor performance, from the skilled athlete to someone avoiding a fall. Despite this relevance, there remains a lack of both an integrative brain-to-behavior analysis of these movements and applied studies linking the known dependence on open-loop, central control mechanisms of these movements to their real-world implications, whether in the sports, performance arts, or occupational setting. In this review, we cover factors associated with the planning and performance of fast limb movements, from the generation of the motor command in the brain to the observed motor output. At each level (supraspinal, peripheral, and motor output), the influencing factors are presented and the changes brought by training and fatigue are discussed. The existing evidence of more applied studies relevant to practical aspects of human performance is also discussed. Inconsistencies in the existing literature both in the definitions and findings are highlighted, along with suggestions for further studies on the topic of fast limb movement control. The current heterogeneity in what is considered a fast movement and in experimental protocols makes it difficult to compare findings in the existing literature. We identified the role of the cerebellum in movement prediction and of surround inhibition in motor slowing, as well as the effects of fatigue and training on central motor control, as possible avenues for further research, especially in performance-driven populations.

Abstract	Although the underlying mechanisms behind upper limb (e.g., finger) motor slowing during movements performed at the maximum voluntary rate have been explored, the same cannot be said for the lower limb. This is especially relevant considering the lower limb's larger joints and different functional patterns. Despite the similar motor control base, previously found differences in movement patterns and segment inertia may lead to distinct central and peripheral manifestations of fatigue in larger joint movement. Therefore, we aimed to explore these manifestations in a fatiguing knee maximum movement rate task by measuring brain and muscle activity, as well as brain-muscle coupling using corticomuscular coherence, during this task. A significant decrease in knee movement rate up to half the task duration was observed. After an early peak, brain activity showed a generalized decrease during the first half of the task, followed by a plateau, whereas knee flexor muscle activity showed a continuous decline. A similar decline was also seen in corticomuscular coherence but for both flexor and extensor muscles. The electrophysiological manifestations associated with knee motor slowing therefore showed some common and some distinct aspects compared with smaller joint tasks. Both central and peripheral manifestations of fatigue were observed; the changes seen in both EEG and electromyographic (EMG) variables suggest that multiple mechanisms were involved in exercise regulation and fatigue development.

Abstract	Background: Falling and gait difficulties in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are associated with impaired reactive postural adjustments and impairments in attentional resources. Combined intensive balance motor and cognitive exercise can be beneficial. However, uncertainties persist regarding the true effects and safety when applying such training. Using trampoline beds may be a favorable safe environment for a highly intensive, cognitive, and balancing training approach. The primary goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of an intensive cognitive-motor training program in a safe trampoline environment in addition to usual care on balance impairment, gait, physical capacity, fear of falling, falls frequency and severity, cognition, and clinical impairments in people with mild or moderate PD. Methods: Sixty participants diagnosed with idiopathic PD, in stage 2-4 Hoehn and Yahr, with a clinical history of gait deficits and a fall history (at least one fall in the last 6 months) will be recruited and randomly allocated to an intervention group receiving cognitive-motor trampoline training or a control group undergoing their usual care. The intervention will consist of 8-week individual training sessions (1-h training, 3 days per week) led by specialized physiotherapists that will provide progressive, challenging training, and guarantee safety. Assessment will be conducted prior to and immediately after the 8-week intervention and at 3 months follow-up after participating in the study. Primary outcome measures will be balance performance (assessed using the Mini-BEST Test and nonlinear analysis) and change in gait parameters (Motor and Cognitive Timed-Up-Go and nonlinear analysis). Secondary outcomes will be change in clinical improvement (Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale), falls (falls weekly registry), fear of falling (assessed using the Falls Efficacy Scale), physical capacity (6-min walk test), and cognition (Montreal Cognitive Assessment). Discussion: This study will provide new evidence on the benefits of intensive cognitive-motor balance training on a trampoline for people living with PD. Better guidance on how professionals can apply safer dual-task balance and gait training in rehabilitation is needed. Trial registration: ISRCTN Registry ISRCTN13160409 .

Abstract	Desde a adesão de Portugal à CEE em 1986, as políticas, programas e iniciativas de desenvolvimento e coesão territorial têm permitido, entre outros aspetos, uma melhoria das infraestruturas de comunicação terrestre e uma modernização do tecido produtivo e empresarial nacional, com especial incidência nas regiões tradicionalmente desfavorecidas. Neste sentido, o Programa Nacional da Política de Ordenamento do Território (2018) visa consolidar o desenvolvimento do policentrismo regional em Portugal, sendo este decisivo para o reequilíbrio dos territórios de baixa densidade do interior do país através do estímulo a novas dinâmicas económicas, culturais e demográficas. Este artigo explora o modo como a região da Beira Interior, enquanto território periférico de baixa densidade na sua contextualização transfronteiriça, apresenta sinais que contrariam as dinâmicas de regressão económica e demográfica que têm caracterizado a região ao longo das últimas décadas e que são baseados no desenvolvimento de iniciativas de economia do conhecimento e da inovação, como o Living Lab Cova da Beira. Por último, as conclusões irão sublinhar a necessidade de aproveitar o contexto atual de planeamento e gestão territorial participativa e colaborativa a nível local, regional, nacional e europeu, a fim de reforçar a cooperação entre os centros urbanos e as atividades de conhecimento e inovação da região no atual cenário socioeconómico europeu.

Abstract	Cancer is a life-threatening illness affecting all dimensions of a person's health. Cancer survivors must build resilience to face this adversity and continue their life projects. The present study explores the enablers, barriers, and strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors. This qualitative, descriptive exploratory study will use purposive sampling to recruit cancer survivors and healthcare professionals from two hospital centers in Lisbon and Tagus Valley. Interviews will be conducted until data saturation occurs. Data analysis will be performed using an inductive content analysis process with the help of the QDA Miner Lite database. The findings from this study will generate knowledge that may help stakeholders to identify effective strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors. By implementing strategies to foster resilience, healthcare professionals can potentially promote positive adaptations to cancer by strengthening resilience enablers and reducing the impact of barriers.

Abstract	Objective: People who inject drugs (PWID) are known to be more susceptible to infections such as hepatitis C virus (HCV). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of hepatitis C among PWID in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Method: The MEDLINE, Embase, and LILACS databases were searched without language restriction from inception to 2021. Articles were screened based on titles and abstracts. After reading the full texts, the articles were selected based on eligibility criteria. Results: Of the 486 identified publications, 123 full texts were assessed, and 23 studies with a mean quality score of 7.2 were included. A total of 11,419 PWID were included in the meta-analysis, and the estimated overall prevalence of hepatitis C among PWID in LAC was 57.0%, which was higher than the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime global prevalence of 50.2%. In meta-analyses of subgroups divided according to the risk of exposure to HCV infection (in addition to the imminent risk of injected drugs), the estimated prevalence of hepatitis C in PWID in the lowerrisk population (general) was 57.0%. The prevalence of hepatitis C in PWID who were infected with HIV was 61.0%. The estimated hepatitis C prevalence was also assessed for three periods: in 1991-2000, it was 59.0%; in 2001-2010, it was 63.0%; and in 2011-2020, it was 48.0%. Conclusions: The high estimated prevalence of hepatitis C in LAC reinforces the need for increased diagnostic efforts, strategies for treating drug addiction and hepatitis C, and harm reduction policies that target PWID.

Abstract	Global governance has altered institutional architecture and the systemic and institutional conditions under which power is exercised, as well as the characteristics of the political system, the form of government, and the system of intermediation of interests. However, although it has surpassed the State’s dimension of power, it created new interstate dimensions and new relations between powers, particularly at the level of cities. Cities have helped to solve common problems in a more efficient and effective way by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, sharing of solutions and resources, and building capacity to implement and monitor progress in order to achieve collectively agreed goals, in a bottom-up approach. Cities have the virtue of securing the most direct social and political contract between societies and the notion of authority. This study, therefore, aims to reflect on this emerging, less hierarchical and rigid governance and address complex global challenges such as climate and demographic change; increasing crime rates; disruptive technology; and pressures on resources, infrastructure and energy. As a global/local interface, cities can ensure effective solutions to current challenges and act together in areas where the global agenda has stalled.
