Qualidade de Vida e Saúde Bucal em Crianças de 8 a 10 anos

Atualmente, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) conceitua saúde como completo bem-estar físico, mental e social e não meramente ausência de doença ou enfermidade. Já a qualidade de vida foi definida como a percepção do indivíduo de sua posição na vida, no contexto cultural e sistema de valores nos quais ele vive e em relação aos seus objetivos, expectativas, padrões e preocupações. A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal é definida como o impacto das doenças bucais sobre aspectos da vida cotidiana que são importantes para as pessoas. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou o impacto na qualidade de vida dos estudantes com alguma alteração bucal, tendo o foco não só em lesões cariosas como também em gengivites e alterações oclusais. Métodos: Esta pesquisa foi realizada em crianças na faixa etária de 8 a 10 anos matriculadas na Escola Municipal Padre Luigi Salvucci/ Foz do Iguaçu-PR. Foram realizados exames intrabucais para verificar a presença de: cárie, gengivite e alterações oclusais. O questionário validado Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10), foi respondido por todas as crianças que participaram dos exames intrabucais. Ao todo 96 crianças foram avaliadas, destas 64,59%, eram do sexo masculino, e 67,7% dos alunos avaliados apresentaram cárie. Nesta variável foi observada diferença estatística significativa em relação à qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Há impactos negativos na qualidade de vida das crianças com lesões cariosas. Quanto às variáveis gengivite e alterações oclusais não houve diferença estatísticas significantes, porém mais estudos são necessários para se concluir se há influência destas na qualidade de vidaCurrently, the World Health Organization (WHO) conceptualizes health as a whole physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely auscultated of disease or infirmity. You have a quality of life defined as the very idea of life, there is no cultural context and value system in which it belongs and relates to your goals, expectations, standards and concerns. Oral health-related quality of life is defined as the impact of oral diseases on aspects of everyday life that are important to people.Objective: This study evaluated the impact on the quality of life of students with some oral alterations, focusing not only on carious lesions but also on gingivitis and occlusal alterations. Methods: This search was performed in children aged 8 to 10 years enrolled in the Padre Luigi Salvucci Municipal School / Foz do Iguaçu-PR . Intraoral exams were performed to verify the presence of: caries, gingivitis and occlusal alterations. The validated Child Perceptions Questionnaire Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10) was answered by all children who participated in the intraoral exam. In all, 96 children were evaluated; of these, 64.59% were males, and 67.7% of the evaluated students presented caries. In this variable a statistically significant difference was observed in relation to quality of life. Conclusion: There are negative impacts on the quality of life of children with carious lesions.Regarding the variables gingivitis and occlusal alterations, there were no statistically significant differences, but more studies are needed to determine if they influence the quality of lifeActualmente, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) conceptualiza salud como completo bienestar físico, mental y social y no meramente ausencia de enfermedad o enfermedad.

Laudato Si’ and the Papal View of Ecological Debt: An Empirical Exploration

In 2015, Pope Francis released his second papal encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (Francis, 2015), the central idea of which is the Holy Father’s concern for the future of our planet, our common home, and to seek sustainable and integral development. The purpose of this article is to examine critically and empirically the specific notion of ecological debt as described in the encyclical (Francis, 2015: 51 and 52), beginning with a historical background on the origins and use of the term. We then touch upon the Pope’s discussion of ecological debt and his indictment of multinational corporations (MNCs) in Laudato Si’, which resonate with the so-called pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) which states that pollutionintensive industries in developed countries relocate their “dirty” industries to developing countries with relatively lax environmental regulations. In a similar vein, we propose that a rise in total greenhouse gases is associated with the resource extraction and commodity export-based activities of MNCs in developing countries where such activities and their resultant pollution are subject to less stringent regulations due to imperatives for economic growth. This creates an ecological debt when commodity exports from developing countries to more developed ones come at the cost of the environment in the former. Our article thus connects Laudato Si’ with PHH, enabling us to examine empirically the Pope’s statement that the “export of raw materials to satisfy markets in the industrialized North has caused harm locally” (Francis, 2015: 51)
