GARRAFA, Volnei; CUNHA, Thiago Rocha da and MANCHOLA-CASTILLO, Camilo. The teaching of global ethics: A theoretical proposal based on Intervention Bioethics. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190029. Epub Jan 17, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190029. The article approaches global ethics in its applied perspective, targeted at educational practice, aiming to analyze, based on a theoretical investigation supported by the field of Bioethics, legitimacy for the definition of global goals to its teaching. Understanding that knowledge production is related to the geopolitical locus from which it develops, the study uses the framework of Intervention Bioethics, a theoretical approach identified with the critical thought of the “global south”, to analyze the possibility of defining universal ethical consensuses.

A course (with classes, shared appraisal group, dispersion activities, and narrative production) was offered, culminating in workshops for reaching a consensus and creating the indicators. The interpretative exercise involved organizing the shared appraisal group’s transcripts and transforming them into

OLIVEIRA, Marisa Augusta de e OLIVEIRA, Simone Santos. The hero’s human face: analyzing firemen’s health-disease process based on virtual communities. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190252. Epub 24-Out-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190252. Few studies deal with military firemen’s work/health relationship in national literature, among which many focus only on pathological indicators and/or physical consequences, not discussing their health and life needs at work. Aiming at analyzing this relationship under a wider, humanized perspective of heroes, an exploratory and methodologically innovative study was conducted in two industry blogs. Invisible or socially little known realities concerning the investigated group’s work process were unveiled, such as precarious labor conditions, illnesses, role deviation, humiliation, and dissatisfaction. These realities show the need
