- Bioethical Reflections on the UN 2030 Agenda and its Repercussions for Teachers' HealthPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaThe goal of this study was to identify connections between bioethical principles, the goals set by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the foundations for health promotion (HP), particularly when applied to university professors. In its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3—“to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”—the 2030 Agenda allows for a reflection on the connections between bioethics and HP. Bioethics and HP both value the interactions between and focus on individuals and, in this approach, the drawing of connections between these topics and the 2030 Agenda presents itself represents a way to stimulate and develop useful measures involving health, well-being, quality of life, and happiness. The results suggest that concepts such as respect for personal dignity, care, protection, sustainable actions, prosperity, peace, partnership, and solidarity were reported by professors surveyed on these topics, with impact on seeking health-related measures able to promote individual and collective well-being, quality of life, inclusion and social justice, principle which are related to bioethics and HP, and the foundations of which are clearly correlated with the 2030 Agenda.
- Gender equality indicators in higher education: SDG 5 perspective and bioethical approachPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Pereira, Regina Célia Soares; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaIn this topic, the objective is to identify and clarify the concepts predominantly used in this article, so that they can make sense and be understood in the context of gender equality in the higher education. Therefore, the most used terms include Bioethics is an area of inter and transdisciplinary study that involves Ethics and Biology, based on the ethical principles that govern life and its ethical dilemmas, emerging as a reflexive response on human interactions in society and in their environments. The bioethical principles are the model of bioethical analysis traditionally used and of great application in clinical practice in most countries is the principalist, introduced by Beauchamp and Childress (1979). These authors propose four fundamental bioethical principles: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice, in a prima facie sense. However, these principles can be expanded according to the bioethical line adopted in a given reality, to obtain a reflection on an ethical dilemma. The gender equality is the concept that defends social equivalence between the sexes, with equal opportunities for men and women. Gender equity, in turn, refers to equity in treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. It is important to clarify the concept surrounding the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda (SDG). These Goals are a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a model for achieving a better and more sustainable future for everyone. The SDGs, established in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and expected to be reached by 2030, are part of UN Resolution 70/1, the 2030 Agenda.
- Perceptions of women waste handlers in Ghana, Africa: a proposal for social intervention based on the 2030 Agenda and bioethical paradigmPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Debrah, Justice Kofi; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaBackground and objective: This study aims to identify the connections between social interventions (SI), Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) 2030 Agenda, and the bioethical paradigm, using research involving women dealing with waste in Ghana, Africa, as a background. In its SDG 5 – gender equality – the 2030 Agenda makes it possible to reflect on the connections between bioethics, gender equality (GE), and vulnerable populations. SI, in turn, reflects on the social context and the factors that guide the implementation of projects and their impacts on society, the mobilization of resources, and the generation of sustainable attitudes. These combined aspects value human interactions and focus on individuals. The design of the connections between SI, SDG 5, and bioethics is presented in this chapter to encourage and develop intervention measures focusing on the well-being, quality of life, equality, and inclusion of the women surveyed. Methodology: Exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative-qualitative approach. Sample: women waste handlers (WWH) from Ghana, Africa, random sampling, non-probabilistic for convenience, CI = 95%, n = 33 respondents. Findings and conclusions: This research suggests the need to implement a social development program aimed at WWH, in line with the SI and the 2030 Agenda. The promotion of well-being, quality of life, inclusion, and equality of women are principles that are associated with the bioethical paradigm, SDG 5, and SI. The possible practical implications of this research include the formulation of a social program in line with public policies and public-private partnerships, aimed at making morally justified decisions to assess gender equity and equality of women vulnerable to risky work; development of an integrated approach between SI, SDG 5, and the bioethical paradigm in vulnerable populations, namely, in the studied population, promoting investigations and actions informed by evidence, having as a background the theme of GE; recognition of the bioethical paradigm, SDG 5, and SI as an investment and as a necessary resource to strengthen the role of women and men and to encourage and disseminate the use of gender indicators as a positive element to contribute to the formulation of interventions in populations vulnerable; formulation and implementation of the Women’s Development Program aimed at actions in public health, education, and income generation, with a focus on socially sustainable interventions.
- Social Responsibility and bioethics in higher education: transversal dialoguesPublication . Carlotto, Ivani Nadir; Debrah, Justice Kofi; Dinis, Maria Alzira PimentaThis chapter seeks to analyse the interface between social responsibility (SR) concepts in higher education (HE) and its connection with the bioethical approach. The idea of SR is an intrinsic aspect of the bioethical paradigm, and its role is increasingly recognized in several areas of knowledge due to its transdisciplinary and transversal reach. Bioethics, in turn, joins the concept of SR to reflect on the plural and salutogenic character of health, considering the social context in which decisions are made and the well-being of individuals. The philosophical foundations of the SR and Bioethics paradigms consider the individual as a necessary element for effective decision-making about their health and become essential to validate and implement the primary interventions carried out in health promotion (HP). In line with the concepts of SR and bioethics, sustainability emerges, which deals with human dignity and well-being in an approach of a fundamentally ethical character. Its greatest example is the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The concepts of SR, bioethics and sustainability provide the intersection with several determinants that impact social, organizational and public policy decisions. Research involving bioethics and SR seeks to recognize and validate the transversal concepts necessary for interdisciplinarity in a perspective of joint construction to implement effective policies related to SR.
