Authors: Belasheva I. V. , Plugina M. I. , Esayan M. L.
Published: December 2022

Aim. To present the system-level structure of conflict competence and study the interrelations and differences in its components in students in the context of studying at a university.

Material and methods. The study involved 150 1-4-year students. According to the factor analysis of psychological variables, 5 empirically represented groups of parameters were identified, con sidered as conflict competence. The empirical study used psychodiagnostic techniques aimed at determining strategies of behavior in conflict situations; personal aggressiveness and conflict; style of self-regulation of behavior; communicative tolerance; level of development of reflexivity and the technique of coping mechanisms.

Results. According to Kruskal-Wallis H test, there were differences in 3 competencies: sthenic intrapersonal-oriented conflict readiness; interpersonal-oriented conflict competence; intrapersonal con-flictogenity. There were no significant differences in emotive-personal conflict readiness and constructive-activity conflict competence.

An analysis of the prevalence of high level of conflict competence formation showed that in 1st-year students, emotive-personal conflict readiness prevails, in the 2nd year — constructive-activity competence, in 3rd year — intrapersonal conflictogenity, in 4th — interpersonal-oriented competence. Thus, the period of study at a university can be considered as a stage in the formation of conflict competences.

Conclusion. The data obtained make it possible to identify five conflict competences, reflecting the motivational, cognitive and behavioral components of conflict tolerance and conflict readiness, which ensure the perception and analysis of conflict situations, the organization of behavior and communication in conflict situations and the willingness to solve them; the resulting five-factor statistical conflict competence model details the proposed two-factor theoretical model and refines it in terms of mechanisms. A comparative analysis of representation of conflict competences among 1-4-year students determined the competence dynamics as follows: from conflict instability to conflict readiness, which allows to clarify the existing ideas about the stages and features of competence formation under the influence of educational activities at the university.

Authors: VRTODUSIC Rea , SKENDROVIĆ BABOJELIĆ Martina
Published: December 2022

Traditional pear cultivars are mainly found as hereditary single trees in backyards, yards, gardens, or as solitary trees in parks, along roads and on forest edges. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pomological and physicochemical characteristics of 13 traditional Croatian pear cultivars, studied in Karlovac County area, in central Croatia, and to filter out potential cultivars for further cultivation or breeding. The analyzes traits showed that the cultivars differed significantly in the characteristics studied, i.e., fruit weight, height and width, fruit index, peduncle length and thickness, fruit firmness, number of sound and empty seeds in relation to the weight of sound seeds, soluble solids content, acidity, ratio of soluble solids to total acidity, pH. The cultivars ‘Krasanka’ and ‘Dugačka’ stood out for their fruit size and harmonious ratio of soluble solids and acids, while the cultivar ‘Tepka’ stood out for its high soluble solids content, which makes it a valuable raw material for distilling. Considering the diversity of pomological characteristics, their potential as sources of genetic variation, and their possible tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress factors, it is important to preserve traditional pear cultivars as a source of quality fruit for consumption or processing, protecting these valuable genetic resources together to the biodiversity of the area where they grow.

Published: December 2022

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in plant development and stress responses. So far, identification of lncRNA in eggplant response to stresses has been limited and the role in mediating response to cold stress is yet to be characterized in eggplant. In this study, there is reported the first dataset of lncRNAs responsive to cold stress in the cold tolerant and sensitive eggplants using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). 227 and 225 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs were obtained in two genotypes with differential cold-tolerance. Functional characterization through gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that target genes were particularly related to acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity and pseudouridine synthase activity, which could result in the tolerant phenotypes. Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that target genes in both sensitive and tolerant eggplants were mainly involved in cold responsive pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, peroxisome, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis and so on. However, the enriched pathways obtained by enrichment analysis in cold-tolerant eggplant were different from those in cold-sensitive eggplant, which further indicated the reason for different tolerances. Our findings highlight the potential contributions of lncRNAs in regulating eggplant response to cold stress and difference in cold tolerance.

Published: December 2022

In the years 2018-2021, experiments on the effect of air temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the storage of Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) seeds were carried out. Three different cultivars and one breeding line received from commercial plant breeding and seed production companies were used. All their seeds at the beginning of storage had high germination over 90%, and moisture content 7-8%. Then, they were stored for 30 months in the controlled conditions at 3 different temparatures:  7-8 °C, 10 °C and 25 °C, each with 2 different air relative humidty (RH): 25% or 45%. During the experiment, their quality was evaluated by germination test according to the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) protocol. Additionally, after 1 and 2 years of storage at 7-8 °C and 25% air RH, the seeds of the line were evaluated for their incidence of fungi. It was found out that seeds of the tested genotypes kept good germination at 7-8 °C and at 10 °C, i.e. after storing them, the same effect was achieved. Thus, the latter can effectively lower the costs of the seed storage in commercial seed trade of the crop. The electric current consumption for the seeds stored at 7-8 °C in comparison with 10 °C was higher by 11.2%. In seeds of 3 genotypes, after storing them for 30 months, their germination was better at the air RH 45% than at 25%. Generally, low temperature (7-8 °C) favoured growth of Penicillium spp. and Phoma spp. on Welsh onion seeds during 2 years of storage, while storing at higher temperature (25 °C) resulted in the increase in seed infestation with Cladosporium spp. and Fusarium spp. The results obtained from this research can be used as a guideline for the storage in climatic and RH controlled chambers of all genotypes belonging to Allium fistulosum species, with the aim to maintain its seed germination quality related to the duration of the storage and taking into consideration the operating energy costs.

Published: December 2022

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is increasingly farmed for its nutritional and health benefits, but high yield and fruit quality require proper planting material. Modified Murashige and Skoog (MW), Anderson’s Rhododendron (AN), and Woody Plant Medium (WPM) were compared for in vitro organogenesis and rooting of three highbush blueberries ‘Elizabeth’, ‘Meader’, and ‘Liberty’. All media contained 0.1 mg L-1 zeatin applied with a combination of IBA, IAA, and GA3. The results showed that MW medium is more suitable for in vitro multiplication of ‘Elizabeth’ and ‘Meader’, and WPM medium for ‘Liberty’. However, medium supplemented with a low concentration of IBA (≤ 0.4 mg L-1) and 0.1 mg L-1 zeatin increased the shoot regeneration rate of highbush blueberries multiplied in vitro. The rooting capability was studied by using WPM and AN medium with IBA and IAA with zeatin. The highest rooting rate (85%) and acclimatization (70%) were achieved in ‘Liberty’, and the lowest was in ‘Elizabeth’ (33.3% and 50%, respectively) and ‘Meader’ (33.3% and 43.8%, respectively). Rooted plantlets developed good quality roots and were transplanted into peat:perlite (4:1) substrates and acclimatized in a greenhouse under controlled conditions. We developed a complete micropropagation protocol for cvs. ‘Meader’, ‘Elizabeth’ and ‘Liberty’ blueberry. This protocol can be used for the production of certified vegetative material or different biotechnological purposes.

Published: December 2022

In this study, the effects of bagging treatment on fruit appearance and internal quality, including fruit shape index, single fruit weight, fruit vitamin C, soluble solids, titratable acid, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, were studied by using ‘Donghong’ kiwifruit as experimental material. Meanwhile, the pesticide residues of bagged and non-bagged (NB) kiwifruit were compared and analyzed. Results showed that the pericarp color of bagged kiwifruit is lighter in green than that of NB group, with uniform color, cleaner appearance and no scabs and spots. Single fruit weight and transverse meridians of bagged kiwifruits were significantly increased. Interestingly, we found single bagging treatment had little effect on the internal quality of ‘Donghong’ kiwifruit. After pesticide treatment, the fruit shape of kiwifruit was rounder, significantly increased the weight, chlorophyll content of fruit, and decreased the content of vitamin C and carotenoids. In addition, bagging + pesticide treatment had additive effect on these characters. After bagging, the residues of pyraclostrobin and β-cypermethrin in ‘Donghong’ kiwifruit were significantly lower than those in the control. However, the residue of difenoconazole residues did not show significant difference. Bagging treatment has the ability to improve the appearance and reduce the residue of some pesticides. Meanwhile, the application of some pesticides can improve the single fruit weight and fruit quality. Therefore, bagging is a scientific and effective cultivation method in the green production of ‘Donghong’ kiwifruit.

Published: December 2022

Abstract Cocoa is a crop in increasing demand and cultivated worldwide. However, basic information concerning the movement of nutrients in leaves over time is still unknown, and methods to find an optimal time to collect a sample are still ambigu-ous. The present work focused on describing the movement of foliar nutrients (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) in productive 5-year-old cocoa clone CCN51 plants at the same dose of 114.8 kg ha-1 under different sources of nitrogen fertilization (Urea, calcium ni-trate, ammonium sulfate and a control without application). Samples were taken from the time the leaf reached 70% of its total expansion until 10 months of age. The results indicated that the contents of N, Ca and Mg increased as the leaf grew, remained stable between 116 and 158 days of shoot emergence (DSE) and then decreased at the beginning of the leaf senescence period. While the K and P con-tents decrease from the beginning of the trial until 158 DSE where they are stable until the final stage of leaf life. Around 110 to 120 DSE, the leaves of cocoa CCN51 show a more stable nutritional content, a period in which samples can be collected for leaf analysis.

Abstract The aim of this study was to estimate sample size for the physical and physico- chemical characteristics of the peduncles and nuts of the cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) as an aid in research using classical analytical methods and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Sample sizes were estimated by means of uniform stratified sampling, comprising six strata (S1, S2, ..., S6) corresponding to the clones A+C 276/1, BRS 226, CCP 76, HI58-92-2, PRO 553/2 and PRO 555/2. Determining the size of the sample for each stratum depends on the variance of the characteristic under evaluation and the accepted margin of error B of the estimates, or on the desired precision in the results. The greater the variance of the stratum, the greater the size of the sample, the smaller the acceptable margin of error of the estimates, and the greater the desired precision of the results. For an error B = 0.2 g, the sample size for nuts of the A+C276/1 clone (stratum S1), with variance s2 = 5.1568, was n1 = 30 nuts. For firmness, with B = 0.50 N, the sample size for the PRO 555/2 clone (S6) was n6 = 22 peduncles. For vitamin C, which presented the highest variances, the sample size of the BRS 226 clone (S2), with B = 10 mg100-1g, was n2 = 38 peduncles. The variables pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity and soluble sugars presented the smallest variances, giving the smallest sample sizes for each of the clones.
Impact of some natural extracts on rooting performance of coratina olive cuttings
Authors: Rashedy Ahmed Abdelhady
Published: December 2022

Abstract Stimulating root formation is the key to successful cutting propagation. Natural root stimulators are eco-friendly, biodegradable and sustainable tools that prevent the environment from pollution. Horticulturists have given the role of sol-vents in natural extracts little attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to study the effect of three extract solutions (aqueous, vinegary and ethanol) for ten natural extracts (humic, licorice roots, ginger roots, cinnamon bark, garlic bulbs, bread yeast, moringa leaves, willow leaves, willow shoots and control at a concentration of 20% on rooting of Coratina hardwood olive cuttings. Regarding the effect of solvent on rooting performance of Coratina olive cuttings, both ethanol and vinegar as a sol-vent improved the efficiency of the natural extract in rooting behavior compared to the water as solvent. Regarding the effect of the natural extracts, ginger extracts generally recorded the highest root charcgters compared to the other natural ex-tracts. As for the interaction effect, licorice vinegar extract recorded the highest root-ing percent (25%, 32.77%) followed by both humic ethanolic (27.07%, 24.67%) and vinegary (25.03%, 19.67%) extract then ginger vinegar extract (20.83%, 18%) for both seasons, respectively. According to organic farm regulation, ginger vinegar extract can be recommended followed by licorice vinegar extract.

RESUMO O tromboembolismo pulmonar é a complicação mais temida do tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) e a terceira causa de mortalidade cardiovascular no mundo, atrás apenas do infarto agudo do miocárdio e do acidente vascular cerebral. O risco de TEV é praticamente universal nos pacientes hospitalizados, especialmente naqueles com redução da mobilidade. Embora variável em incidência entre os pacientes clínicos e cirúrgicos, até 66,6% dos eventos relacionados às internações, podem ocorrer após a alta, permanecendo este risco por até 90 dias. Apesar de todo investimento feito na profilaxia do TEV nas últimas décadas, ainda não existem consensos ou diretrizes específicos para a sua prevenção em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia convencional de varizes dos membros inferiores. A adoção de um modelo de avaliação de risco validado para a profilaxia do TEV, embasado na literatura vigente, poderá ajudar na implementação e padronização da profilaxia do TEV na cirurgia convencional de varizes de membros inferiores, além deste benefício, poderá levar a diminuição do tempo de internação hospitalar e do número de reinternações.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to recognize the effects of valproic acid (VPA), an epigenetic drug, on the bladder healing process, in rats. Method: twenty male Wistar rats were divided in two groups: experimental (A), treated with VPA (150mg/Kg/day), and control (B) with 0.9% sodium chloridrate. Healing was analyzed on the third and seventh days, evaluating the inflammatory reaction, collagen synthesis and angiogenesis. Results: inflammatory reaction on the third day was minimal and acute in both groups. On the seventh day, it was subacute in both groups, moderate intensity in group A and minimal in group B (p=0.0476). Collagen III intensity, marked by immunohistochemistry, was similar in both groups. Collagen I intensity on the third day was similar in both groups, but on the seventh day it was higher in experimental than control (p=0.0476). Collagen evaluation by picrosiriusred allowed to verify that the presence of collagen III was similar in both groups (p=0.3312) on the third day, and it was higher in control on the seventh day (p=0.0015). Collagen I showed similarity on the third day (p=0.3100), and it was higher in control on the seventh day (p=0.0015). Vessel marked with anti-SMA counting showed fewer vessels on the third (p=0.0034) and seventh day (p=0.0087) in experimental group. The lower intensity of angiogenesis was confirmed with anti-CD34, on the third day (p=0,0006) and on the seventh day (p=0,0072). Conclusion: VPA determined alterations in the bladder healing process, in rats, with lower collagen density and less angiogenic activity, but without compromising the integrity of the organ.

Authors: Santos Clara Maria Rodrigues da Cruz Silva , Alves Mary Help Ibiapina
Published: December 2022

Resumo: O artigo aborda, a partir do método de revisão sistemática da literatura, as condições de regularização dos imigrantes em que a espera para a obtenção de uma cidadania ativa é potenciadora de vulnerabilidade social, remetendo a população migrante para os mecanismos de poder da terra de ninguém. Foram analisados 548 artigos, documentos oficiais e relatórios de políticas públicas. Concluímos que a espera é a mãe da cidadania adiada, produtora da ausência de direitos no deserto da terra de ninguém.
IGUALDADE COMO NÃO SUBORDINAÇÃO
Authors: Petroni Lucas
Published: December 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é explorar os ganhos conceituais, normativos e metodológicos do igualitarismo social com base em uma interpretação específica do valor da igualdade: a igualdade como não subordinação. Ao longo das duas primeiras seções será argumentado que (1) a concepção da igualdade, como não subordinação identifica um rationale normativo comum para as diversas expressões do igualitarismo social; (2) que essa é uma interpretação coerente com o pano de fundo histórico das lutas por igualdade social e (3) que ela nos ajuda a evitar problemas conceituais aos quais formas monistas do igualitarismo tendem a incorrer. Em seguida, gostaria de mostrar que essa maneira específica de compreender o valor da igualdade encontra ressonância na obra de John Rawls, um dos filósofos políticos mais importantes do século passado, e cuja relação com o igualitarismo social ainda permanece em aberto. Particularmente importante para o igualitarismo social é o modo como o construtivismo rawlsiano concebe a personalidade moral dos membros de uma sociedade justa enquanto fontes auto-originárias de reivindicações válidas.
Análise Multitemporal do Espelho d’água do Açude Jaburu I por Meio de Ferramentas de Sensoriamento Remoto nos Anos de 2013 a 2020

Resumo Em regiões com influência do clima semiárido é nítida a escassez hídrica, a qual é consequência, dentre outros fatores, de cenários negativos de precipitação que acarretam secas prolongadas. Tais características reverberam negativamente no desenvolvimento socioeconômico da sociedade envolvida. Nesse contexto, o armazenamento de água em açudes pode ser considerado uma alternativa estratégica importante que requer uma atenção especial em busca da mitigação do déficit hídrico nessas regiões. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma análise multitemporal do espelho d’água do Açude Jaburu, localizado nos municípios de Ubajara e Tianguá, Ceará, nos anos de 2013 a 2020. Para isto, foi aplicado o índice Normalizado por Diferença de água (NWDI), tendo sido utilizadas imagens do satélite Landsat 8, Coleção 1 Tier 1, LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_RT, calibrado para reflectância do Topo da Atmosfera (TOA), por meio das bandas 3 e 5, com uma resolução espacial original de 30 m. Os principais resultados mostram que os anos que apresentaram maior recuo foram 2014 e 2015 com 192,21 e 175,05 hectares de espelho d’água a menos, respectivamente. Os anos de 2018 e 2019 apresentaram expansão, com 130,86 e 295,65 hectares, respectivamente. Para avaliar os dados abordados neste trabalho em termos de correlação com a pluviosidade na área, utilizou-se o teste de correlação de Spearman, que apresentou valor de p igual a 0.9349, assumindo-se não haver relação entre a pluviometria e a área do espelho d’água. Sugerem-se estudos mais aprofundados na área para compreender quais fatores podem comprometer a disponibilidade hídrica no reservatório, bem como confirmar, por meio de séries maiores, se realmente não há correlação entre a área do espelho d’água e a quantidade de chuva na área. Por fim, verificou-se que as ferramentas de sensoriamento remoto se mostraram eficazes na análise do espelho d’água da área estudada, bem como guardam um potencial positivo para contribuir com o gerenciamento adequado dos recursos hídricos superficiais em região com clima semiárido.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT The environmental control for prevention of arboviruses depends both on the actions of public authorities and the involvement of communities. The present study analyzed the perception of 385 citizens of 17 municipalities from the 5 regions of Brazil regarding the actions of the authorities and the community itself in relation to the control and prevention of dengue. The participants acknowledged that actions such as basic sanitation, regular waste collection, inspection of vacant lots and closed homes have often been neglected by the authorities. There was a tendency to hold the community accountable, through the example of neighbors who do not carry out prevention procedures. It was also noteworthy the silencing around unfavorable social conditions that can hinder the implementation of prevention procedures. We also reflected on the damage that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused to preventive practices and its possible future impacts.
Sindemia: tautologia e dicotomia em um novo-velho conceito
Authors: Souza Diego de Oliveira
Published: December 2022

RESUMO No bojo da mais grave pandemia em décadas, o termo ‘sindemia’ ressurgiu como uma alternativa para melhor denominar o caráter assumido pela Covid-19. Os autores que defendem esse conceito argumentam que ele confere maior amplitude analítica, o que permite apreender as interações sinérgicas entre doenças e as suas origens sociais. O objetivo deste ensaio consistiu em analisar esse conceito à luz do materialismo histórico-dialético. Para tal, dialoga-se, sobremodo, com a corrente da saúde coletiva que se desenvolveu sob influência do marxismo. Assim, a categoria determinação social do processo saúde-doença é chamada ao debate quando se revela a sua maior amplitude ante o conceito de sindemia. Constatou-se que o conceito ora em análise é tautológico e reproduz velhas dicotomias do modelo biomédico, mesmo querendo criticá-lo.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT: Canine transmissible venereal tumor (TVTC) is a highly casuistic transmissible neoplasm in Brazil. Chemotherapy with vincristine sulfate is considered the treatment of choice, but the need for weekly applications and hematological monitoring, in addition to costs, are obstacles to owners’ adhesion to the treatment. Lomustine is an alkylating class antineoplastic agent, and because it is administered orally, it is a more practical and less costly treatment option for the owners of animals with neoplasms sensitive to the drug. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of lomustine in dogs affected by TVTC. Twelve dogs with cytopathological diagnosis of natural genital TVTC were selected. The dogs were submitted to the experimental protocol with lomustine administration at doses of 70 to 85 mg/m2 orally every 21 days, totaling a maximum of two administration cycles. The animals were reevaluated every 7 days until a maximum of +49 days after the first dose of lomustine, to monitor the regression of neoplastic lesions through measurements. Among the 12 dogs submitted to the lomustine protocol, 8/12 achieved complete remission of the neoplasm and were considered cured (66.6%), 1/12 had partial response to treatment (8.33%) and 3/12 had stable disease (25%). Important adverse effects such as severe neutrophilic leukopenia were detected in 3/12 dogs (25%). The clinical study indicated that lomustine may be a treatment option for TVTC.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: This study proposes to systematically review the literature and compare data on (1) function, (2) pain, (3) return to sport, and (4) complications after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograft (QT) and hamstring tendon autograft (HT). Methods: In June 2021, a systematic review of the EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and LILACS databases was performed, based on PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included the keywords: “Previous Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction,” “ACL reconstruction,” “quadriceps tendon autograft,” “quadriceps graft,” “Hamstring-Tendon Autografts.” Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager software (RevMan Web). Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding function according to Lysholm score (MD 3.01; CI-0.30, 6.33, p = 0.08), the presence of pain (RR 0.89; CI-0.57, 1.39, p = 0.60), and re-rupture (RR 0.60; IC-0.19, 1.88, p = 0.38). Conclusion: QT and HT autografts show comparatively good results in ACL reconstruction without significant differences regarding function, pain, and rupture after surgical intervention.

O drama dos artistas na pandemia brasileira
Authors: Malhão Rafael da Silva , Damo Arlei Sander
Published: December 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os dramas experenciados por artistas brasileiros durante o período da pandemia da COVID-19. A investigação integra um dos eixos de uma pesquisa mais ampla, acerca dos impactos sociais da pandemia no Brasil. Inicialmente, argumenta-se que a pandemia é um evento crítico com múltiplas escalas, que impacta de modos desiguais as populações, como é o caso dos profissionais do mundo artístico, em si mesmo um campo heterodoxo em termos de especialidades, remuneração, que já vinha sofrendo com os impactos da redução de investimentos em políticas públicas na área cultural desde meados da década de 2010. Tendo em vista as medidas de enfrentamento à pandemia, dentre as quais a restrição às aglomerações, os eventos artísticos foram interditos e os profissionais impossibilitados de atuar de maneira convencional, gerando problemas de ordem econômica e sofrimento psíquico. O artigo explora o relato dramático de alguns desses profissionais, destacando as estratégias adotadas para fazer frente à crise decorrente da impossibilidade de atuação, da escassez de políticas públicas para o setor e o desdém às artes e à cultura por parte da elite política e econômica nacional. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com artistas cênicos, músicos e DJs entre os meses de agosto e dezembro de 2020.

Abstract This article aims to analyze the unfavorable outcome of tuberculosis treatment among the population deprived of liberty by social determinants of health. This retrospective cohort was conducted in the states of Rondônia and São Paulo, Brazil, with inmates with tuberculosis notified between 2008 and 2017. Data were collected from SINAN and TB-WEB and analyzed by relative risk (RR) and confidence intervals (95%CI), which tested the association between the dependent variable (unfavorable outcome (deaths from tuberculosis and other causes, and primary and non-primary lost to follow-up) vs. favorable outcome (cure)) and the structural and intermediary determinants of health. One hundred fifty-eight unfavorable outcomes were registered in Rondônia and 2,227 in São Paulo. For Rondônia, this outcome was associated with gender (RR 3.09; 95%CI 1.03-9.27) and AIDS (RR 2.46; 95%CI 1.63-3.71). In São Paulo, aged over 30 years (RR 1.36; 95%CI 1.26-1.47), AIDS (RR 3.08; 95%CI 2.81-3.38), alcohol abuse (RR 1.54; 95%CI 1.35-1.76), diabetes (RR 1.70; 95%CI 1.27-2.28) and self-administered treatment (RR 2.55; 95%CI 2.27-2.86) were risk factors for the unfavorable outcome. The study contributes with elements to the risk stratification of people with tuberculosis in prison units and, thus, improves health care towards a favorable outcome.
