As mudanças climáticas se tornaram uma das questões ambientais centrais na esfera pública contemporânea. Este artigo (re)pensa os pressupostos teóricos do Jornalismo Ambiental (JA) tendo em vista os estudos sobre riscos associados às alterações do clima. A partir da literatura que aborda riscos, percepção de riscos e enfrentamento, discute-se de que maneira é possível melhorar a cobertura jornalística sobre as mudanças do clima, considerando as bases epistemológicas já conhecidas sobre o jornalismo que é comprometido com o meio ambiente. Por fim, sugere-se a incorporação de novos aspectos, tais como o princípio da precaução e a ênfase na relação local-global, de modo a oferecer subsídios para o trabalho jornalístico voltado para este assunto amplo e complexo.
Entendemos que el periodismo ambiental puede ser visto como parte de la comunicación del riesgo asociada con el ambiente, debido a que muchos conflictos derivados de la relación hombre-naturaleza son percibidos como peligrosos o una amenaza para la vida. Con el fin de reflexionar sobre su rol en los contextos de crisis, analizamos la cobertura del Folha de S. Paulo sobre tres enfermedades (dengue, chikungunya y zika), que pueden relacionarse con la intensificación del cambio climático. Con la orientación teórica y metodológica del análisis del discurso, concluimos que el abordaje está basado en fuentes científicas, extranjeras y con informaciones discursivas que apuntan al optimismo tecnológico, la incertidumbre científica y la precaución.
Polymerization shrinkage of composites can generate stress that results in the formation of microgaps at the resin-enamel interface and marginal leakage. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the influence of surface sealants on microleakage in composite restorations. Enamel-dentin occlusal cavities were prepared in 30 non-carious upper and lower premolars. The cavities were restored with One Coat Bond SL and Brilliant New Generation (Coletene), following the manufacturers' instructions, and polished appropriately. The samples were randomly assigned to one of the following six treatment groups: Group I (Control-no sealant); Group II: Single Bond (3M/ESPE); Group III: Perma Seal (Ultradent); Group IV: Heliobond (Vivadent); Group V: Biscover LV (Bisco); Group VI: Bioforty (Biodinâmica). The samples were then immersed in 2 % aqueous methylene blue solution for 48 hours, and thermocycled 100 times from 5 ºC to 55 ºC. The obtained specimens were ground in a bucco-palatal orientation to reach the medial plane, and observed under a stereoscopic loupe at 40X. The degree of microleakage was evaluated by assessing the penetration of the dye to the tooth-restoration interface, using a 0 to 3 grading scale. The obtained data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test. Significant differences were observed between all rebonded groups and the control group; no differences were observed among Single Bond, Perma Seal and bioforty, or between Heliobond and Biscover LV. It would seem convenient to apply a surface sealant over composite restorations to improve marginal integrity and reduce microleakage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
