- Environmental bioethics, sustainable development and social responsibility in higher educationPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Pereira, Regina Célia Soares; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaBackground: Environmental bioethics seeks to promote human health concurrently with the preservation of the environment, which, together with higher education (HE) seeks to achieve competencies focused on sustainable development (SD), social responsibility (SR) and maintenance of bioethical and environmental principles. Objective: To contribute to the reflection and articulation between the principles of environmental bioethics and their repercussions in HE, SD and SR. Methodology: Multivariate and exploratory analysis, cross-sectional design, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Sample: professors from southern Brazil, random sampling, non-probabilistic for convenience (openepi = 95% CI (%), n = 1400 professors). Approved by the Research Ethics Committees of HCPA and UFP, and CAAE 550666168.0000.5327, Plataforma Brasil. Results: The statistical analysis used was Factor Analysis (FA) and Principal Component Retention (PCR) with Varimax® rotation. The FA produced 6 PCs, categorised and interpreted using Qualitative Content Analysis by Bardin, and the MAXQDA® software, making it possible to highlight the most relevant information generated by the sample. Conclusions: Environmental bioethics and HE have common objectives that interact with human health and the ecosystem. Therefore, it is prudent to work on these aspects in complementary programs that address bioethical principles such as justice, equity, solidarity and dignity and that seek to promote well-being, quality of life, equity, inclusion, sustainability and social justice, encouraging SD and SR, residing in this juxtaposition the social importance of this work. The programs that advocate the bioethical approach in their actions must be worked together, and not in isolation, because, if worked individually, they do not characterise the comprehensive character recommended by the bioethical principles.
- Environmental education in school as a contributor for social responsibility towards the sustainability of the historical and natural heritage of Cabo Frio, RJ, BrazilPublication . Pereira, Regina Célia Soares; Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Gouveia, Luis BorgesDeveloping pedagogical strategies that can arouse students’ interest in social and environmental issues in a playful and stimulating way are challenges for today’s educators, playing a significant role in social responsibility within school context. The objective of this study, therefore, is to raise students’ awareness to the importance of socio-environmental preservation of the historical and natural heritage of the City of Cabo Frio, RJ, Brazil, through sustainable pedagogical actions. Aiming to develop critical learning, three pedagogical resources related to the discipline of Cultural Heritage (CH), from the Federal Fluminense Institute, campus Cabo Frio (FFI-CF) were used: (i) an interactive dialogue (PI), (ii) a guided technical visit by nautical route, to identify the main assets of the city and (iii) the application of a quiz through the Kahoot application on mobile devices to assess learning. The target audience was 1st-year students of the Integrated High School Hosting Course (IHSHC). The exploratory-descriptive methodology was used with an ethnographic approach of a qualitative nature, where the pedagogical actions were linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Students showed interest in knowing the city’s heritage, and discussed among themselves the importance of sustainable practices to minimize anthropogenic impacts on the environment. The application of Kahoot app allowed the learning in a playful way comprising the local socio-environmental reality.
- Pedagogical sustainability project addressing environmental problems in Cabo Frio, RJ, BrazilPublication . Pereira, Regina Célia Soares; Pereira, Sandro Carlos; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Gouveia, Luis BorgesThe reduced supply of drinking water is a severe problem faced by the city of Cabo Frio, RJ, Brazil. This study aims to develop a sustainability and social responsibility project using pedagogical dynamics (PD), through the Cycle of Living Activities (CLA) with real problem situations, related to the insufficient supply of water in the municipality, involving the discipline of Fundamentals of Tourism and Hospitality (FTH) of the Integrated High School Hosting Course (IHSHC). The dynamics were applied by six students of the 3rd year of the Ismar Gomes de Azevedo Education Institute (IGAEI)), who acted as monitors. The target audience were first-year students from IHSHC, from the Fluminense Federal Institute, campus Cabo Frio (FFI-CF). An exploratory methodology was used with the approach in action research. The research was developed in three stages: organisation, application of dynamics and assessment by FFI-CF students. FFI-CF students’ reflective behaviour was observed in relating theory and practice to the objectives of the discipline and enthusiasm in finding solutions to problem situations through teamwork about the questions explored. This study may interest educators working with the sustainability theme within environmental education practices.
- Ozonoterapia no tratamento endodôntico: uma revisão narrativaPublication . Vale, Tiago João Macedo do; Reis, TiagoO tratamento endodôntico tem como principal objetivo a desinfeção do sistema de canais radiculares levada a cabo através de uma preparação químico-mecânica. Técnicas e substâncias alternativas têm sido sugeridas com o intuito de melhorar o processo de desinfeção, entre as quais a ozonoterapia. Esta revisão narrativa teve como objetivo rever o panorama atual da utilização do ozono em Endodontia. Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados B-on, Cochrane Library, PubMed e Science Direct utilizando as palavras-chave “root canal”, “endodontics”, “disinfection”, “irrigation” e “ozone” com várias combinações. O ozono apresenta baixa citotoxicidade e é eficaz na redução de microrganismos dentro dos canais radiculares, no entanto, apresenta menor ação antimicrobiana do que o hipoclorito de sódio. Contudo, o ozono pode ser indicado como alternativa em casos em que o hipoclorito de sódio não deva ser utilizado ou como substância complementar ao tratamento, otimizando a ação de outras substâncias ou técnicas.
