Resumo A participação pública é um mecanismo democrático fundamental para avaliar a qualidade do processo decisório envolvendo o licenciamento ambiental. A operacionalização da participação pública no licenciamento ambiental pode ocorrer por meios diretos ou indiretos, indicando maior ou menor capacidade de responsabilidade social na relação entre comunidades e empreendimentos que produzirão impactos ambientais que afetarão essas comunidades em maior ou menor extensão e abrangência. A viabilidade institucional e política de paralisar a voz dos atingidos pelo empreendedorismo no processo de licenciamento ambiental torna-se, assim, muito mais do que um procedimento democrático, mas uma forma de exercício bioético na relação entre atores sociais, Estado e agentes econômicos. O objetivo desta proposta é avaliar em que medida a participação pública no licenciamento ambiental referente ao Estudo Ambiental de Área Sedimentar (EAAS) da bacia marítima Sergipe-Alagoas/Jacuípe. A consulta pública é um mecanismo democrático de resolução de conflitos ambientais, e deve ser entendida como uma aposta ética aplicada na ação política, reconhecendo que direitos incorporados como direitos humanos. Para nosso objetivo eminentemente interdisciplinar, a Ciência Política, a Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental e a Bioética são campos que mediam essa reflexão e nos permitem refletir os ajustes processuais necessários a um mecanismo democrático imperfeito. indiretos abrangência tornase, tornase torna se, se torna-se assim sociais econômicos EAAS (EAAS SergipeAlagoas/Jacuípe.

ABSTRACT Public participation is a fundamental democratic mechanism to evaluate the quality of the decision-making process involving environmental licensing. The operation of public participation in environmental licensing may occur through direct or indirect means, indicating greater or less capacity for social accountability in the relationship between communities and enterprises that will produce environmental impacts that will affect these communities to a greater or lesser extent and scope. The institutional and political viability of paralyzing the voice of those affected by entrepreneurship in the environmental licensing process thus becomes much more than a democratic procedure, but a form of bioethical exercise in the relationship between social actors, the State and economic agents. The purpose of this proposal is to evaluate the extent to which public participation in environmental licensing regarding the Environmental Study of Sedimentary Area (EAAS) of the Sergipe-Alagoas/Jacuípe sea basin. The public consultation is a democratic mechanism for conflict environmental resolution, and it should be understood as an applied ethical bet on political action by recognizing that rights incorporated as human rights. For our eminently interdisciplinary aim, Political Science, Environmental Impact Assessment and Bioethics are fields that mediate this reflection and allow us to reflect the necessary procedural adjustments to an imperfect democratic mechanism. decisionmaking decision making means scope procedure actors agents EAAS (EAAS SergipeAlagoas/Jacuípe SergipeAlagoasJacuípe Sergipe Alagoas/Jacuípe Alagoas Jacuípe basin resolution aim Science SergipeAlagoas AlagoasJacuípe

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) is a tool for assessing evidence produced in synthesis reports. OBJECTIVES: To present the translation into Portuguese of the GRADE checklist, whose original version is in English, and to describe and explain each topic, in order to provide examples to researchers and professionals who will use the tool. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive study developed at Centro Universitário Tiradentes, Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil. METHODS: This was a translation of the GRADE checklist, with the addition of the Risk Of Bias In Systematic Reviews (ROBIS) tool in the checklist, with examples of its use. RESULTS: Situations of practical use of the tool were presented in order to facilitate and expand the use of assessment of the quality and strength of evidence among Portuguese speakers. CONCLUSIONS: The GRADE checklist is valuable in helping to assess the strength and quality of evidence for synthesis reports for healthcare decision-making.
