Portuguese Policy in Sri Lanka as a Reflection of the Emergence of 16th Century International Law
Authors: Amarasinghe Punsara
Published: November 2023

The colonial nature of international law has been a moot point in legal academia, which univocally suggests international law as an imperial instrument. Given these exergies, the question that this paper seeks to examine is how Portuguese encounters in the 16th century Sri Lanka reflects the seeds of international legal system dominated by European interests. The policy espoused by the Portuguese in Sri Lanka during their encounters with the Kotte kingdom raise the initial examples of unequal treaties, exclusion of sovereignty and the adoption of “puppet rulers”. This paper makes a critical inquiry in examining these elements parallel to the development of 16th century international law. The objective of this article lies in examining the trajectories that set the path for Portuguese imperial legitimacy of Kotte kingdom of Sri Lanka through a legal legitimacy. In analysing these historical factors, this article will discuss the emergence of the colonial international law.

Authors: Nguyen Vu Viet Linh , Pham Thanh-Truc , Huynh Nguyen Anh Tuan , Nguyen Van Quy
Published: November 2023

In this study, a nanocomposite film comprising poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and rice husk-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was introduced as a novel sorbent for removing copper (II) cations. First, CNC was isolated from neat rice husk, and then these particles with many ratios compared to PVA (2, 4, 6, and 10 wt.%) were added to the PVA solution to render the nanocomposite films. The obtained films were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and water uptake tests. The optimal condition for the sorbent preparation was 10 wt.% of CNCs to PVA. The maximum ion adsorption percentage of the PVA/CNC 10 % film reached 55 % after 3 h exposure to 70 ppm Cu (II) ion solution at 25 °C. This research suggested a facile and feasible fabrication method of a nanocomposite film, considered a potential sorbent for the adsorption of copper (II) ions.
Intensity of CLIL exposure and L2 motivation in primary school: evidence from Spanish EFL learners in non-CLIL, low-CLIL and high-CLIL programmes
Authors: Azpilicueta-Martínez Raúl , Lázaro-Ibarrola Amparo
Published: November 2023

Preliminary studies suggest a positive effect of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) on young learners’ (YLs) L2 motivation. However, much more research with larger samples is necessary to gain a more detailed understanding of the interaction between CLIL exposure and L2 motivation. This study specifically explores the effect of different levels of CLIL exposure on YLs’ L2 motivation. To do so, five measures of motivation were analysed in 895 L1-Spanish YLs of English (mean age = 10.61) comprising a non-CLIL group (n = 289) who had received five EFL weekly lessons; a low-CLIL group (n = 152) who had received five EFL and two CLIL weekly lessons, and a high-CLIL group (n = 454) who had received five EFL and seven CLIL weekly lessons. Normality, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn-Bonferroni post-hoc tests were conducted. The results revealed significantly higher motivation levels for the high-CLIL learners over the low-CLIL group in all five measures, and higher motivational levels of the high-CLIL group over the non-CLIL group in four of the measures. The study provides evidence of the motivational benefits of high-CLIL exposure and underscores the need for further research on the motivational implications of low-CLIL programmes.

The overlooked effect of amplitude on within-speaker vowel variation
Authors: Wilson Black Joshua , Hay Jennifer , Clark Lynn , Brand James
Published: November 2023

We analyse variation in vowel production within monologues produced by speakers in a quiet, well-controlled environment. Using principal component analysis (PCA) and generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), applied to a large corpus of naturalistic recordings of New Zealand English speakers, we show that the first formant of monophthongs varies significantly with variation in a speaker’s relative amplitude. We also find that amplitude variation is used, potentially agentively, to mark the beginning and ending of topical sections within single-speaker monologues. These results have significant methodological consequences for the study of vocalic variation in the context of research on speaker style and language variation and change. While laboratory research has shown a connection between variation in F1 and amplitude in loud environments or with distant interlocutors, this has not been seen in quiet environments with unscripted speech of the sort often used in sociolinguistcs. We argue that taking account of this variation is an important challenge for both within-speaker investigation of stylistic covariation and across-speaker investigation. In the latter case we recommend, as a minimal step, the inclusion of a measure of relative amplitude within regression models.

Published: November 2023

A series of ruthenium(ii) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands of the general type (arene)(NHC)Ru(ii)X2 (where X = halide) (3a–3d) were synthesized and characterized in order to compare their antibacterial activities with benzimidazolium salts 2. Our comparison revealed that ruthenium(ii) NHC complexes 3 were more active than benzimidazolium salts 2. Furthermore, the two complexes 3b and 3d had a potent inhibitory effect against acetylcholinesterase with an IC50 of 4.52 and 4.04 g·mL−1 and against tyrosinase with an IC50 of 20.77 and 25.84 g·mL−1, respectively. In addition, screening of benzimidazolium salts (2a–2d) and their ruthenium(ii) complexes (3a–3d) against colon carcinoma cell lines (HCT-116) and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG-2) were studied. The obtained results revealed that complex 3a is the most active against vinblastines.
In vitro study of the biphasic calcium phosphate/chitosan hybrid biomaterial scaffold fabricated via solvent casting and evaporation technique for bone regeneration

Published: November 2023

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP)/chitosan (Cs) composites (BCP/Cs) were assessed for reinforcement in vitro bone regeneration. BCP ceramics have been used to overcome the limitations of single-phase biomaterials. In this study, composite samples were prepared using solvent casting and the evaporation technique. The BCP powder at different concentrations (20, 30, 40, and 50%) was added to the Cs solution to obtain the composite samples. The morphologies and physicochemical properties of the prepared composites were investigated using physical methods. The biocompatibility of composites (BCP/Cs) was studied in vitro by immersion in simulated body fluid. Additionally, the cytotoxicity and viability of the composite samples were evaluated. The results showed that the addition of BCP improves the apatite-forming ability and enhances the bioactivity and biomineralization of the BCP/Cs composites. The mechanical stability of the composite sample was improved essentially by the strong interaction between BCP and the Cs matrix. In addition, the higher the amount of BCP added (50 wt%), the higher the amount of adsorbed protein, and the suitable bioactivity of composites was enhanced. Furthermore, BCP/Cs composites boosted the cell viability and cell proliferation of normal human osteocyte cells. Hence, BCP/Cs composites could be an excellent alternative to bone implants in tissue engineering applications.
Ritual Sweat Bath in a Cross-Cultural Perspective
Authors: Wójtowicz-Wcisło Marta
Published: November 2023

This article traces differences and similarities in the ritual sweat bath usage through a comparative perspective that includes contemporary practice in Poland and the central and the north American traditions that inform it. I argue that there exist continuity and consistency of representations related to sweat bathing across time and space, which can be identified by the metaphors designating certain elements of the ritual. The bathhouse from a cross-cultural perspective can be considered a sacred and liminal space, a gateway that enables the transcending of ordinary space–time dimension and interaction with primordial creation–destruction forces. Fertility appears as only one aspect of these ambivalent forces. It manifests itself in the main metaphors of the Mother Earth’s womb and death–rebirth process in ritual’s contemporary descriptions in Poland. The similarities in the way the sweat bath experience is conceptualised reveal the influence of particulr elements of the ritual that induce specific bodily sensations, intrinsically related to the human organism conditions.
Bürokratieabbau durch Sunset-Legislation
Authors: Freytag Andreas , Schuhmann Sebastian
Published: November 2023

Vor allem bei Vorliegen eines Marktversagens ist ein staatlicher Eingriff nötig und gerechtfertigt. Dieser manifestiert sich in einer Vielzahl von Regeln und Gesetzen, die das Handeln von Marktakteuren einschränken. Die Anzahl der neu eingeführten Gesetze und Vorschriften in Deutschland ist konstant hoch. Nicht immer sind die Regulierungen ökonomisch notwendig. Als Folge ergeben sich für viele Unternehmen Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich der Erfüllung dieser Vorschriften. Ein Bürokratieabbau ist somit dringend nötig. Bisherige Bemühungen sind jedoch ohne umfassenden Erfolg geblieben. Sunset Legislation – also die Etablierung umfassender Evaluations- und Verfallsklauseln in Regulierungen – kann einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu leisten, ineffiziente oder überholte Regulierungen zu beenden oder anzupassen. So können die Regulierungsdichte gesenkt, rechtliche Klarheit geschaffen und Kosten der öffentlichen Verwaltung reduziert werden. Das kann entscheidend für die Bewältigung aktueller politischer Herausforderungen sein, so auch für die Bewältigung der Klimawandels.
Investigation of tripled sine-Gordon equation: Localized modes in multi-stacked long Josephson junctions
Authors: Khan Wajahat Ali , Algahtani Obaid J. , Ali Amir
Published: November 2023

This study systematically examines the behavior of multi-stacked long Josephson junctions (multi-sLJJs) under various magnetic inductances and a variety of drives. To investigate the localized modes in the multi-sLJJs, the tripled sine-Gordon equation (sGE) with a phase shift formation recognized as 0-

π

\pi

-0 junction is analyzed. The amplitude equations are derived through asymptotic analysis. It is revealed that synchronized oscillations occur in the multi-sLJJs under both strong and weak couplings; however, the system experiences exponential decay in the absence of external drives. The stack naturally exhibits damping due to the energy produced by the oscillating mode through radiation, which arises from the higher harmonic excitation introduced into the system. It is observed that when an AC drive is present, the system exhibits synchronous oscillations for both strong and weak inductances but eventually becomes stable. However, for parametric drives under both coupling conditions, the system experiences exponential decay. Our findings suggest that weak coupling renders parametric drives ineffective. Nevertheless, numerical simulations demonstrate that a large driving amplitude induces oscillations in the system and causes it to approach a steady position under strong coupling.

Roles and mandates of spiritual care providers in a context of religious diversity: some consideration inspired by the development of Muslim chaplaincy in Switzerland
Authors: Brandt Pierre-Yves
Published: November 2023

The practice and function of chaplaincy is changing in the pluralistic context of our contemporary societies. The reflections proposed in this article originate from the comparison of three contexts: the canton of Vaud (Switzerland), Quebec and France. It results in a modelling that differentiates the roles and mandates assigned to chaplains according to the modalities taken by three variables: the employer, the mandator, and the beneficiaries of the chaplain’s services. The analysis of the different ways the modalities taken by these three variables shape the activity of the chaplainis extended by prospective considerations on the evolution of the positioning of chaplains in general and of the Muslim chaplaincy in Switzerland more particularly.
Aimé Mpane’s Nude: A Body that Questions
Authors: Cody Steven J.
Published: November 2023

Aimé Mpane is an especially versatile Congolese artist based in Brussels and Kinshasa. This paper examines his Nude (2006–2008), a life-sized sculpture of the idealized male form. Thinking carefully about Mpane’s treatment of the body, his selection of material, and his manipulation of the sculpture’s surface, I argue that Nude operates on an ethical level. The work engages with social conceptions of Black bodies, the history of nudity in western art, and—most interestingly—Frantz Fanon’s theory of embodiment, as presented in Black Skin, White Masks (1952). Nude thus allows us to explore the relationship between a leading artist of the African diaspora and one of the most important critics of the colonial condition. The work also contributes to our increasingly nuanced understanding of art’s place within the wider spheres of post-colonial discourse.

Published: November 2023

This research aims to explore the correlation between body mass index and agility among Al Asror Pencak Silat athletes participating in Semarang 2022. The main objective is to determine the impact of body mass index on the athletes' agility. The research utilized correlational methodology, employing a one-shot case study design. It focused on body mass index and athlete agility among 30 male athletes from Al Asror Semarang 2022 Pencak Silat. The sampling technique employed was simple random sampling. According to the study findings, there is a correlation between body mass index and agility among Al Asror Semarang 2022 Pencak Silat athletes, with a p-value of 0.051 and α of 0.05. The study concludes that the lack of correlation between the two variables is due to additional factors like muscle mass and fat intensity in BMI. Thus, selecting BMI alone is insufficient for assessing athlete agility. Future researchers should focus on data variables and deepen their understanding of BMI and agility.

In brief

The causes of subfertility and recurrent pregnancy loss are often unclear. This study shows that endometrial gland cilia from women with subfertility have ultrastructural defects.

Endometrial glands secrete products into the endometrium and are necessary for embryo implantation and successful pregnancy. However, structural and functional abnormalities in endometrial gland cilia from women with reproductive failure remain poorly understood. This was a cross-sectional study where endometrial biopsies were collected at days 19–23 of the menstrual cycle from women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (n = 15), unexplained subfertility (n = 11) or from egg donor control participants (n = 10). Endometrial gland cilia ultrastructure was imaged by transmission electron microscopy and cilia defects assessed by an electron-microscopist from a national primary ciliary dyskinesia diagnostic centre. Endometrial glands were isolated, and the cilia beat frequency recorded by high speed video. Subfertile women have proportionately lower ultrastructurally normal cilia (P < 0.05); higher frequency of absent dynamin arms (P < 0.01) or inner arm defects (P < 0.01) and lower cilia beat frequency (P < 0.05). The mechanisms underlying these obversions have yet to be determined. Recent studies have identified cilia related gene expression changes associated with reproductive failure and this study adds to the growing body of literature revealing structural and functional changes. The observation that cilia defects occurred at a higher frequency in endometrial glands of subfertile women raises the question of its mechanistic role in implantation.
Iatrogenic Dissection of the Left Internal Mammary Artery During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Jump Radial Artery Graft Bifurcation Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Vanezis Andrew
Published: November 2023

Guide-catheter-induced ostial coronary artery dissection is a feared complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, but thankfully the incidence is low. We describe a case of catheter-induced ostial dissection of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) with multiple radial jump grafts during percutaneous coronary intervention of radial graft bifurcation disease via the LIMA. The dissection led to loss of flow and profound haemodynamic compromise and cardiac arrest as the LIMA supplied the majority of the myocardium in this patient. Intravascular ultrasound was not immediately available, so an Export AP thrombus aspiration catheter (Medtronic) was used over the coronary wire in place to allow the injection of contrast while simultaneously pulling back on the catheter to delineate the extent of the dissection and guide accurate drug-eluting stent placement. The report is a cautionary tale to the reader to treat the LIMA with respect and think long and hard before considering any interventional procedure that uses the LIMA as a conduit.

O presente artigo refere-se à revisão sistemática realizada nos anais da ANPEd Norte, desde a sua primeira edição, em 2016, quando foi desvinculada da ANPEd Nordeste. Por meio da revisão empreendida, foi possível sistematizar resultados relacionados à quantidade de trabalhos publicados por estados da Federação, por Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) e nos “espaços” que o Grupo de Trabalho 20 - Psicologia da Educação (GT20) vem ocupando ao longo de quatro edições do evento. Os principais achados da pesquisa foram: o estado do Pará, por meio de três Instituições de Ensino Superior, representa quase metade de todos os estudos publicados nas quatro reuniões; estados que organizaram o evento aumentaram exponencialmente a quantidade de trabalhos publicados, visto as dificuldades de logística em uma região de grandes dimensões geográficas e pouco incentivo financeiro aos programas de pós-graduação; a Psicologia da Educação enfrenta uma situação que sugere um “problema de identidade”, pois tem “dividido espaço” com outros GT, o que implica na dificuldade de estabelecer território próprio na ANPEd Norte. Sugere-se a abertura do GT20 de forma autônoma nas próximas edições como forma de tensionar possibilidades de uma melhor demarcação de território da Psicologia da Educação no evento, no sentido de (re)estabelecer sua identidade entre os pesquisadores.
conservadorismo da radicalidade?

Published: November 2023

Philosophie des expérientes radicales, livro recém-publicado pelo filósofo pragmatista e professor da Universidade de Lyon III, Stéphane Madelrieux, propõe uma maneira original e inovadora de ler a filosofia francesa do século XX. Sem abordá-la por caminhos tradicionais, tais como a sucessão cronológica de gerações (1860, 1900, 1900, etc), conceitos típicos (espírito e vida; existência e transcendência; dialética e práxis; estrutura e descontinuidade; diferença e desconstrução, etc.), correntes hegemônicas (espiritualismo bergsoniano, filosofias da vida; existencialismos; hegelianismos, marxismos; estruturalismo, epistemologia histórica; pós-estruturalismo ou pós-modernismo, etc.), Madelrieux elege seis autores franceses (Henri Bergson, Jean Wahl, Gilles Deleuze, Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot e Michel Foucault), todos do século XX, para, em seguida, analisá-los pelo prisma do "empirismo metafísico". O que interessa a Madelrieux é apontar a presença de um programa inédito, não trabalhado na literatura filosófica, que amarra experiência e metafísica, e que explica uma parte importante da filosofia do século XX, notadamente na França.

Development of method for managing risk factors for emergency situations when using low-sulfur content fuel in marine diesel engines
Authors: Sagin Sergii , Sagin Arsenii
Published: November 2023

The operation process of marine diesel engines when using fuel with a sulfur content of no more than 0.1 % was chosen as the object of the study. Similar types of fuel are characterized by a lower auto-ignition temperature and higher calorific value. During combustion, this leads to an increase in the rate of fuel combustion and the degree of pressure increase during combustion, precisely because of this, the dynamic loads on the parts of the cylinder-piston group and diesel engine bearings increase. Also, this (due to the increase in temperature at the end of combustion) creates conditions for an increase in the concentration of nitrogen oxides in diesel exhaust gases. This (namely, the change in dynamic and thermal loads that occur during the use of fuels with a reduced sulfur content in marine diesel engines) leads to the occurrence of emergency situations. As a method of managing the risk of such emergency situations, the reconfiguration of the high-pressure fuel equipment, namely the change of the advance angles of the fuel supply, is proposed. The research was carried out on a vessel intended for the transportation of containers and on which a marine diesel engine 8K80ME-8.2-TII MAN-Diesel & Turbo was installed as the main engine. Combustion pressure, the degree of pressure increase during combustion, the temperature of exhaust gases, and the concentration of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases were chosen as the indicators for evaluating the use and implementation of the proposed method. It has been experimentally proven that this results in an increase in the environmental sustainability of diesel operation by 3.61–10.97 %, an increase in thermal stability – up to 2.54 %, and an increase in dynamic stability – up to 4.82 %. This is due to the shift of the self-ignition and combustion process towards expansion and the corresponding decrease in pressure and temperature at the end of combustion. The most favorable use of this method is on modern diesel engines that have an electronic fuel injection control system, so they do not require mechanical reconfiguration of fuel pumps. Taking this into account, the method based on the change of fuel advance angles is defined as the one that provides management of the risk factors of emergency situations when using low-sulfur fuel in marine diesel engines.

Założyciel Sióstr Służebniczek Bogarodzicy Dziewicy Niepokalanie Poczętej, bł. Edmund Bojanowski, zobowiązał siostry do stałej relacji z rządcą diecezji, na terenie której znajdują się ich placówki. Nakazywał służebniczkom podporządkowanie biskupowi. Bez jego zezwolenia nie można było otwierać nowych domów. Ordynariuszowi lub wyznaczonemu przez niego kapłanowi — komisarzowi biskupiemu, siostry zdawały też sprawozdanie z działalności. Wpisy w kronikach zakonnych oraz w dokumentach konsystorialnych świadczą o ojcowskim podejściu tarnowskich biskupów do służebniczek dębickich — począwszy od bp. Józefa Alojzego Pukalskiego (bp. tarnowskiego w latach 1851–1885), za którego rządów w diecezji siostry założyły swoją pierwszą placówkę, aż do bp. Franciszka Lisowskiego (bp. tarnowskiego w latach 1933–1939), kiedy to za jego pasterzowania papież Pius XI zatwierdził konstytucje zgromadzenia, dzięki czemu weszło ono pod szczególną opiekę Kościoła.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of baru nuts supplementation on body composition and metabolic profile in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with 30 adults with type 2 diabetes. The assay had two periods of 12 weeks each, with a washout period of 12 weeks between treatments. The subjects were randomized and received the two treatments in alternate periods: supplementation of 30g baru nuts or placebo. Anthropometry, body composition, blood pressure, blood sampling, food intake, and physical activity data were analyzed. Results: Baru nut intake reduced waist circumference (p=0.032), compared to placebo group. In the intra-group analysis, baru nut intake reduced total cholesterol (p=0.012) and LDL-c (p=0.017). Conclusion: The daily intake of baru nuts improved abdominal adiposity. Therefore, these nuts should be included in the diet to improve the health status of adults with type 2 diabetes.

De bando de aves a internet, vários dos sistemas complexos que encontramos na natureza ou em nosso cotidiano podem ser modelados como redes. Cada elemento (ou nó) de uma rede, por sua vez, pode ser um sistema dinâmico, ou seja, com suas variáveis evoluindo ao longo do tempo conforme alguma(s) regra(s). Mas ao se conectar sistemas dinâmicos numa rede, diversos fenômenos coletivos podem se manifestar. Dentre esses fenômenos a sincronização completa (SC) de uma rede pode ter papel indispensável em algumas aplicações práticas, o que tem levado vários pesquisadores a investigar, por exemplo, quais as condições e/ou estrutura de uma rede que garantem sua sincronização, ou então como controlar uma rede de modo a levá-la para a SC. Neste manuscrito tentaremos abordar essas questões tomando o modelo de Kuramoto como ponto de partida, analisando a estabilidade de suas soluções e apresentando alguns resultados que possa nos ajudar a compreender alguns aspectos dinâmicos de redes de osciladores e a responder a pergunta enunciada no título.

Published: November 2023

Abstract The search for sustainable agri-food systems is increasing. This study aims to identify the main initiatives of agroextractivism in the state of Mato de Grosso do Sul (Cerrado and the Pantanal biomes), their products, market/consumption perspectives, and the panorama of the institutional environment. Native species with processing and marketing conducted through family initiatives were selected. The relevant aspects of public policies and market potential analyses were based on a literature review. The use of 15 native species present in 12 communities demonstrates the potential of food systems with the recognition of indigenous peoples, quilombolas, traditional communities, and family farming. Sociobiodiversity products value their origin and social, environmental, and economic functions, and can conquer new sustainable markets, including international ones.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the use of digital screens in early childhood, from the perspective of mothers and education professionals. Method: Qualitative study, based on Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory. Nine mothers of children under three years of age, enrolled in daycare centers in a municipality in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, and six education professionals who worked in these daycare centers participated. The data were collected between July and October 2021 via virtual interviews and analyzed according to inductive thematic analysis. Results: The restrictions imposed by the pandemic made screens the only available resource for children’s educational activities, interaction, leisure, and distraction, causing an exponential increase in the time they spent in front of screens. Conclusion: The pandemic had a direct impact on the use of digital screens in early childhood, increasing the child’s exposure time, according to parents and education professionals.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with the lifestyle profile of public basic education teachers in Minas Gerais during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Epidemiological websurvey carried out with public basic education teachers in Minas Gerais. Data collection took place from August to September2020 via digital form. Anthropometric, sociodemographic, work, and lifestyle characteristics were evaluated. Poisson Regression was used. Results: 15,641 teachers participated and 31.1% had inadequate health habits. There was a higher prevalence among men (PR=1.38; 95%CI:1.31;1.45), older age (PR=1.20; 95%CI: 1.07;1.34), greater weekly workload (RP=1.10; 95%CI:1.03;1.17) and those dissatisfied with work (RP=1.21; 95%CI:1.15;1.27). As a protective factor, professors with longer teaching experience (RP=0.92; 95%CI:0.87;0.98) and those hired or appointed (PR=0.89; 95%CI:0.85) ;0.94). Conclusion: Lifestyle inadequacy was found among older male teachers, with longer working hours and job dissatisfaction.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the factors associated with loss to follow-up in tuberculosis cases among adults in Brazil in 2020 and 2021. Method: Retrospective cohort with secondary data from the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System. A total of 24,344 people diagnosed with tuberculosis whose information was complete in the database were included. Adjusted odds ratios and confidence intervals were estimated by binary logistic regression. Results: Higher odds of loss to follow-up were observed for males, non-white ethnicity/color, with lower education level, homeless or deprived of liberty, who used drugs, alcohol and/or tobacco, with admission due to recurrence or re-entry after abandonment, and with unknown or positive serology for HIV. On the other hand, older age, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, deprivation of libertyand supervised treatment were associated with lower odds of loss to follow-up. Conclusion: Demographic, socioeconomic and clinical-epidemiological factors were associated with the loss to follow-up in tuberculosis cases, which reiterates the various vulnerabilities intertwined with the illness and treatment of this disease. Therefore, there is a need to promote strategies aimed at adherence and linkage to the care for groups most vulnerable to loss to follow-up in tuberculosis treatment in Brazil.
