“…The comparative analysis of data from the three models of prison management (traditional public model, administered by SEAP - State Department of Prison Administration, the private model administered by APAC - Association for the Protection and Assistance of Convicted Persons, and the model established by Public Private Partnership - PPP, administered by GPA - Associated Prison Managers) shows that the percentages of both education and work in the GPA / PPP model were closer to the public system of SEAP than to the APAC system, proving that the state's bet in this new model of prison management system does not serve the public interest, especially with regard to the social integration function of the sentence. …”

Expanding Conflicts of Interest in Public Health Research by Vishnu Subrahmanyam

“…Tobacco companies have funded public health research designed to influence tobacco control policies.[18] Corporations have used research to further the narrative that personal responsibility plays an outsized role in alcohol consumption, thereby ignoring the social determinants of addiction and programs that include alcohol supply reduction.[19] A similar narrative has pervaded the sugary drinks discussion.[20] While there are many considerations, there is no homogenous policy to help tackle conflicts of interest in public health research.[21] Academic journals mandate declaring financial conflicts of interest. [22]  However, declarations should attempt to incorporate an institutional view of values and not restrict themselves to personal convictions.
