- Building a rights-conscious future: educating children on their rights to prevent violations, in modern PortugalPublication . Pereira, Catarina Lima; Cardoso, João CasqueiraThis Final Work Project has the objective of exploring the importance of human rights, more specifically, children's rights. Now more than ever, this theme should be more and more discussed and implemented in the local communities, not only because we see an increase of radical, nationalist, populist movements throughout the world which impose a risk to the very existence of human rights but also because of the more recent armed conflicts against Palestine where not only violate human rights but also children rights. This study consists of two main parts: a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part consists of presenting the concepts of human rights and children's rights on the international stage and the existing instruments that protect them. It also aims to understand the challenges that social issues may impose on the prevention of these rights. On the other hand, the practical part is an analysis of how teaching human rights to children will have a positive impact on the community and reduce the crimes that cause children's rights and human rights. Despite the intention of international organizations that defend these same rights, the only way to implement this is through political intervention in the national curriculum, making it mandatory for all children to learn about this theme.
- Perception of Portuguese and Brazilian dentists regarding the importance of teeth and dental materials after exposure to high temperatures: forensics perspectivePublication . Ramos, Beatriz; Abreu, Isabel; Moreira, Teresa; Silveira, Augusta; Lopes Cardoso, Inês; Guimarães, Maria Inês; Mele, Federica; Santoro, ValeriaBackground: The main objective of this study was to carry out an online questionnaire in order to assess dentists’ knowledge and perception of dental materials submitted to high temperatures, helping to clarify and raise awareness of possible gaps in the area of forensic dentistry, especially in human identification. Results: Out of a total of 272 respondents, there was a greater influx of responses from countries such as Portugal and Brazil, the majority being female (66.3%), with an average age of 39 years. Most dentists consider complete clinical records to be extremely important. In addition, professionals with less experience provide fewer models in releasing their clinical records. In the case of dental materials, dentists consider composite resin and glass ionomers to be more susceptible to changes in shape and colour, while amalgam is considered the most stable, followed by ceramic and metal-ceramic crowns. On the other hand, dentin is considered more susceptible to colour changes than enamel. Enamel is seen by most professionals as resistant, undergoing few changes in shape at high temperatures. Conclusions: The opinion of the surveyed dentists on this subject is broadly in line with the existing literature. The only observed differences were related to exposure time and enamel resistance, since they assume that enamel is more resistant, and dentin is more vulnerable.
