Spreading of phonological activation in dyslexia throughout life
Authors: Buil-Legaz Lucía , Rodríguez-Ferreiro Javier , Cuetos Fernando , Suárez-Coalla Paz
Published: February 2023

We studied the developmental course of the spreading of phonological activation in individuals with and without dyslexia by means of a phonological version of the Deese/Roediger-McDermott false memory task. The false memory effect is assumed to reflect the spreading of activation from the presented stimuli to similar words in the lexicon. We assessed 35 volunteers with dyslexia and a group of matched controls with ages ranging from 6 to 58 years. They were first presented with six lists of ten two-syllable words each, all of which shared one syllable with a reference unpresented word. Then, they answered a recognition questionnaire including 24 presented words, 18 phonologically related unpresented words, and 12 unrelated unpresented words. False recognition of phonologically related words increased with age in the control group but stayed at very low levels in the dyslexia group. Our study indicates the existence of a deficit in the spreading of phonological activation in individuals with dyslexia throughout life.

Authors: Chaf Gallardo Gabriela Viviana , Julia Coloma Carmen , Quezada Camilo
Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo tiene por propósito indagar el desempeño gramatical de un grupo de escolares hispanohablantes monolingües de primer año básico de la región Metropolitana de Chile con diagnóstico de trastorno del desarrollo del lenguaje (TDL). Se estudió el uso de verbos, artículos, preposiciones y pronombres clíticos mediante la tarea del recontado de tres narraciones. Se trabajó con dos grupos, uno experimental constituido por 30 escolares con TDL, cuya edad promedio fue de 6 años 8 meses. El otro grupo, el control, lo integraron 30 escolares con desarrollo típico (DT) y tenían una edad promedio de 6 años 9 meses. Los resultados arrojaron que el grupo con TDL produce un número inferior de verbos, preposiciones y proclíticos. Al observar los errores se encuentra que los niños con TDL realizan significativamente más fallas al usar estas mismas unidades que sus pares con DT. En los niños con TDL, no se observaron diferencias significativas en la cantidad de errores al comparar verbos, preposiciones y proclíticos. En cuanto al uso de artículos, ambos grupos se comportan de manera semejante. El enclítico prácticamente no apareció en las narraciones de los niños con TDL. Finalmente, el tipo de error más frecuente cometido por los sujetos con TDL en el uso de preposiciones y pronombres clíticos fue la omisión.
ROTATION SCHEMES OF THE BEST FEMALE GYMNASTS IN THE WORLD
Authors: Bessi Flavio , Pfeifer Jan
Published: February 2023

Worldwide trainers ask if there is a rotation scheme, which improves the gymnastics performance and/or facilitates the learning of the elements with longitudinal rotations. Although there are some surveys and scientific publications on it, we still are seeking for more data to understand the undergoing relationships within the rotation habits of high-level gymnasts. In a recent study, the Men’s Individual All‐Around finalists at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 were categorized using the current classification system of rotational schemes. This study aims first to categorize the Women’s Individual All‐Around finalists at the Olympic Games Rio 2016. Furthermore; the analysis should help to improve the classification system by comparing both genders. We assume that the female rotation scheme should be more complicated due to the requirements of choreographic movements and gymnastic turns. In this context, the study aims to set a viable classification system for female gymnasts as well. The study revealed that 52% of the female finalists turn to the right while 48% prefer to rotate to the left after having crossed out the dance and gymnastic elements.

Published: February 2023

White staphylococcus spp. is the common name for staphylococci that do not form a golden pigment. It causes and complicates the course of many inflammatory processes in various organs and tissues of humans and animals. In particular, in dairy cattle breeding, white staphylococcus is the main cause of serous and serous-catarrhal mastitis. Low efficiency in the treatment of staphylococcal mastitis is due to the resistance of the pathogen to antibiotics. Accordingly, the use of chemotherapeutic drugs for mastitis without prior determination of the sensitivity of isolated strains of pathogenic microorganisms to antibiotics leads to double economic damage.

Cross-Finger Flaps Outcome and Modification
Authors: Khurshid Junaid , Mir Bilal Yousf , Ahmad Bhat Bashir
Published: February 2023

Background: Injuries to fingers are frequently encountered since these are the most exposed parts of the body and are in contact with devices and tools so are exposed to a multitude of risks. Various surgical methods such as skin grafting, stump closure, and microvascular reconstruction are in the armamentarium of the plastic surgeon. The cross-finger flap was described originally in 1950 and is one of the workhorse flaps for finger reconstruction and can be done as described originally or as a modification in multiple scenarios of finger trauma.
Methods: This is a prospective single-centre multi-surgeon study carried out on 35 patients from 2018 to 2021 on patients undergoing cross-finger flap. All cross-finger flaps or any modification such as reverse cross-finger flap, or cross-finger flap on graft reposition were included. Each patient was analysed as per the aetiology, the treatment received, the reconstructive procedures done, the functional and aesthetic outcome, and any postoperative complications and their management.
Results: The average follow-up of patients was two years. 22 out of 35 patients were male, and in 28 patients the injury had occurred in the right hand. The average age of patients was 34.5 years.
Conclusion: Cross-finger flap is a simple and reliable flap among the various reconstructive options available for finger injuries. The modifications such as reverse cross-finger and graft reposition flap increase its application. The cosmetic outcome is usually satisfactory and the return of protective sensations is seen in most cases. At times it is a trade-off between extensive microvascular procedure and a marginally short finger with or without nails.

Keywords: Cross-finger flap; Finger reconstruction; Graft reposition flap.
Classification Criteria of Connective Tissue Disorders in Dermatology
Authors: Rather Suhail Raheem
Published: February 2023

Connective tissue diseases are a group of multisystem disorders that have an underlying autoimmune pathogenesis. The cutaneous signs are often presenting clinical features and represent early stages of disease. Classification criteria traditionally have high specificity which generally comes at the expense of somewhat lower sensitivity, thus missing high proportion of patients with disease. Classification criteria should only be employed if there is reason to believe a patient could have a disease. With revisions both sensitivity and specificity of classification criteria have increased over time.

Keywords: Classification criteria, connective tissue disease, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma

Medical knowledge of both prevalent and rare diseases is changing as a result of recent advanced innovations. In the team that provides genetic services, such as genetic risk assessment, counseling, and continuous medical care for patients with inherited predisposition to disease, primary healthcare plays a crucial role. Primary care physicians can integrate genetic counseling within the larger context of a patient's overall health state since they are accustomed to prioritizing among competing clinical needs. The ongoing relationship that develops between physicians and patients over time is another aspect of primary care that is well-suited for genetic counseling. As patients' needs and emotional states change over time, primary care may provide continual patient education and counseling. When patients ask their primary care physicians about genetic tests and capabilities, they are frequently ill-equipped to respond for which further research along with the training of physicians is needed. Additionally, the majority of patients are also unprepared for the plethora of psychosocial problems that result from genetic testing. The primary care physician is more equipped to incorporate psychosocial factors into any discussion of genetic information since they are more familiar with the patient's broader perspective. When a patient is identified with genetic or familial predisposition to an illness, a number of psychosocial problems may arise. If their risk is revealed, people can be concerned about stigmatization, insurance eligibility, and employment discrimination. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about psychosocial effect and role of genetic counselling in primary health care.

Background: Respiratory symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath, and fever, have been reported to be the most common symptoms of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, extra respiratory symptoms, such as gastrointestinal manifestations, have also been reported. Case Presentation: In our paper, we report a case of a 32-year-old African female patient with no previous medical history who presented to the emergency department with altered mental status for one day. The patient had a history of fever, epigastric pain, decreased oral intake, vomiting, and diarrhea. Initial laboratory findings revealed elevated blood glucose, amylase, lipase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels. Urine ketones were also positive, and blood gases demonstrated severe metabolic acidosis. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit as a case of diabetic ketoacidosis, acute kidney injury and acute pancreatitis that was later confirmed by computed tomography imaging, where it revealed bilateral renal vein thrombosis with left kidney infarction. Additionally, reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT‒PCR) confirmed COVID-19. The patient improved significantly following conservative management and anticoagulation and was discharged home. Conclusion: Our case demonstrates the importance of considering COVID-19 as a possible cause of acute pancreatitis and that acute kidney infarctions should be part of the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury in patients who are COVID-19 positive.

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor sleep condition that causes pain or a "creepy-crawly" feeling in the legs. The association between pregnancy and RLS is well established. The incidence and progression of RLS are influenced by hormonal factors, notably during pregnancy. RLS is more prevalent among pregnant women than among the general population and its prevalence and severity increase with gestational age. In addition, multiparous women are more likely to experience RLS during pregnancy than single-birth mothers. The symptoms often improve over the first four weeks following childbirth. Pregnancy-related hormones, especially estrogen, likely play important roles. Dopaminergic agents, antiepileptics, and benzodiazepines can be used for treatment. The prognosis is good, and most patients recover quickly. Attention to serum ferritin levels is also important. A definite statement regarding it being the safest therapy strategy cannot be established because of the varying techniques used by various investigations and the paucity of data concerning the impact of RLS in pregnancy and its long-term consequences. Non-pharmacological treatments and nutritional supplements may be tried first in pregnant women with RLS.

Cancer which falls under the umbrella of non-communicable disease is responsible for posing significant burden of morbidity and mortality globally. The prevalence of cancer continues to rise worldwide, with significant variations in mortality and morbidity rates as per age, ethnicity, gender, and type of cancer. In order to reduce the global cancer burden effective and locally specific cancer preventive and control methods are essential. Cancer screening is one way of prevention. Additionally, it aids in early diagnosis and prompt management thus reducing mortality and complications. Since there is a significant lag period in the malignant transition, screening presents an opportunity to detect premalignant lesions, engage in early intervention in the carcinogenic process, and delay the onset of cancer. Most cancer risk factors are preventable. Home visits for cancer screening is one of the effective ways to encourage cancer screening and prevention among the community. Compared to hospital visits, patient visits at home result in more balanced interactions. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the role of home visits in improving cancer screening and early detection. Home visit is a beneficial approach especially in rural and resource limited areas. Various findings support the role of home visits as they had a positive effect on cancer screening while few studies reported contradictory results. Further research is however needed for the assessment of outcomes and effectiveness of home visits in aspect of cancer screening

Osteoarthritis is a prominent cause of disability with rising prevalence and incidence. An essential risk factor for posttraumatic osteoarthritis, joint injury history has a substantial role in the rapidly rising prevalence of osteoarthritis in the general population. A prolonged trauma associated with recurring instability leads to the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis, which commonly affects the knee and ankle joints. Due to the high number of knee and ankle injuries that occur each year and the strong association between joint damage and the development of osteoarthritis, posttraumatic osteoarthritis represents a significant public health burden. The onset of the chronic disease seems to be significantly influenced by the activation of inflammatory pathways during the posttraumatic osteoarthritis acute phase. Immediately following joint trauma, a number of inflammatory mediators are secreted in synovial fluid. These inflammatory mediators are the predictors of the disease. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about inflammation process, outcome and prevention of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. The continued activation of innate inflammatory pathways may contribute to the maintenance of inflammation and the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis in the injured joint. Various studies reported more complications observed in posttraumatic osteoarthritis patients as compared to others after knee arthroplasties. Prevention of posttraumatic osteoarthritis shall be targeted before the initiation of clinical onset of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Anti-inflammatory drugs with sustained delivery can be more beneficial in prevention of cartilage degeneration although further research is needed to study and develop preventive strategies for posttraumatic osteoarthritis.

Sepsis is a complex and severe disorder that significantly affects the pediatric population and is responsible for approximately 7.5 million deaths annually. Sepsis is a potentially fatal reaction to infection that greatly increases neonatal and pediatric morbidity and mortality globally. Sepsis can also lead to more severe forms, such as severe sepsis, septic shock, multiorgan failure, and refractory septic shock in cases with known or suspected infections. Early diagnosis, prompt administration of the proper fluids to restore adequate tissue perfusion, and empiric antimicrobial therapy to protect against suspected infections are the main tenets of therapy. If, after initial fluid resuscitation, tissue perfusion and hemodynamics are unstable/insufficient, vasoactive medications are advised. Ampicillin and gentamicin are recommended for use in early onset neonatal sepsis while third generation cephalosporins are also included in the treatment regime in case of late-onset sepsis. A broad-spectrum antibiotic that treats both gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria is advised for 1 month above children, but the choice of antibiotic depends on the clinical presentation, such as pneumonia, bloodstream infection, intra-abdominal sepsis, or meningitis that resulted in septic shock. A delay in antimicrobial administration is linked to increased mortality rate hence, guidelines recommend antimicrobial administration within 1 hour after confirmation of sepsis. There is substantial evidence to support the notion that rapid antimicrobial initiation and selection are essential components of the therapy of patients with severe illnesses. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about antimicrobial therapy in paediatric sepsis and treatment strategy
Reabsorción dentinaria interna coronaria. Informe de un caso clínico
Authors: Perelló Sureda María Alejandra
Published: February 2023

Objetivo: La reabsorción dentinaria interna es un proceso causado por la actividad odontoclástica asociada principalmente a la inflamación pulpar crónica y/o traumatismos, y se caracteriza por la pérdida progresiva de tejido dentinario y la posible invasión al cemento. El presente informe describe el diagnóstico y tratamiento de un molar inferior que presentó un cuadro sintomático de reabsorción dentinaria interna.

Caso clínico: Un paciente de 38 años fue derivado a la consulta por presentar una zona de reabsorción interna en un segundo molar inferior. Durante el examen clínico y radiográfico se tomó una radiografía preoperatoria periapical con radiovisiógrafo en la que se observó la presencia de un área compatible con el diagnóstico de reabsorción dentinaria interna, el que fue posteriormente confirmado por medio de una tomografía computada de haz cónico. La imagen de la lesión se presentó como una zona radiolúcida deformante de bordes nítidos, localizada a nivel de la cámara pulpar. El tratamiento consistió en la extirpación de la pulpa coronaria y de la instrumentación, desinfección y obturación de los conductos radiculares y la cavidad de acceso. En el control clínico y radiográfico realizado luego de 3 años se observó que el paciente estaba asintomático y las estructuras perirradiculares se encontraban dentro de los límites normales. La observación histológica del material removido de la cámara pulpar reveló la presencia de un tejido granulomatoso con numerosos vasos sanguíneos y escasos focos micro hemorrágicos.

Hasta el momento, el tratamiento endodóntico es el procedimiento indicado para el tratamiento de la reabsorción dentinaria interna. Se destaca la importancia de la tomografía computada de haz cónico para el diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano de las reabsorciones dentinarias internas a efectos de contar con un pronóstico favorable.

Palabras clave: Endodoncia, inflamación pulpar, reabsorción dentinaria interna, tomografía computada de haz cónico.
O Vinho no Egito Antigo: Uma Dose de História da Química
Authors: Da Silva Luiz Henrique , Magalhães Pedro , Soares Pinheiro Bárbara Carine
Published: February 2023

O vinho é uma bebida alcoólica obtida, há milhares de anos, a partir de uvas por um processo denominado fermentação. Os egípcios fizeram parte das primeiras civilizações a dominarem as técnicas de preparo e armazenamento desta bebida, e isto foi confirmado através de inúmeras evidências encontradas na região do Egito antigo. Estas evidências além de trazerem registros históricos da extensa relação entre as civilizações egípcias e o vinho, mostrando de que forma esta bebida estava inserida nas diferentes classes sociais, confirmam o quão importante foi a civilização egípcia para a construção e desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico. Isto é perceptível nas cenas de viticultura registradas em tumbas egípcias antigas, que revelaram muita semelhança entre a técnica de preparo do vinho por esta civilização e a técnica tradicional europeia, indicando o pioneirismo no preparo do vinho pelos antigos egípcios. Além destas contribuições, os egípcios foram importantes para o desenvolvimento da medicina, em que o vinho esteve bastante inserido, uma vez que foi amplamente prescrito em receitas médicas. Portanto, é possível afirmar que o Egito e suas civilizações fazem parte da história do vinho e da ciência, e que estas civilizações contribuíram para o desenvolvimento social e científico.

Published: February 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão dos artigos disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES e no SciELO que, focados no campo da história, da epistemologia e do Ensino de Química, tenham sido desenvolvidos a partir das contribuições de Gaston Bachelard. A análise dos materiais selecionados foi quantitativa e qualitativa, possibilitando identificar dados como: idioma, anos das publicações, palavras-chave mais utilizadas, autores, revistas, o contexto em que foram realizadas as pesquisas, o objeto ou sujeito da pesquisa e como as concepções de Bachelard eram abordadas nos artigos. Na revisão da literatura foi selecionado inicialmente um total de 376 artigos. Desses, foram analisados quais tinham relação com o Ensino de Química, totalizando 26 artigos para a análise apresentada neste trabalho. Foram identificadas tendências em termos de cada um dos itens de avaliação, dos quais se destaca a centralidade das produções em inglês, o movimento levemente crescente de publicações nos últimos anos, a multiplicidade de palavras-chaves, o destaque para 4 autores, a maior presença de publicações em 4 revistas, um contexto teórico de discussões e a centralidade das conceituações sobre obstáculos epistemológicos nas pesquisas que empregam as proposições bachelardianas. Como encaminhamentos, reconhecer tais tendências nos possibilita qualificar as pesquisas que se desenvolvem no campo da história e da epistemologia da Ciência no campo do Ensino de Química, bem como buscar possíveis ampliações das discussões a partir de outros conceitos também tratados por Bachelard e ainda pouco discutidos.

O Projeto de extensão Comunitária “Recursos Minerais e Sustentabilidade” dos Cursos de Química da Universidade de Passo Fundo tem o objetivo de desenvolver ações de divulgação e sensibilização para o consumo consciente dos recursos minerais, com foco em atividades experimentais e jogos didáticos sobre questões geológicas, químicas e ambientais. Na semana alusiva ao brincar, foi realizado o evento “Tá brincando”, organizado pelo projeto de extensão Brinquedoteca Universitária: Laboratório de Aprendizagens Lúdicas, sendo a oficina ofertada intitulada “Pequeno Cientista: Experimentar é brincar” organizada a fim de trabalhar atividades lúdicas e interativas, em que os participantes interagiram e relataram suas impressões no transcorrer das atividades experimentais, tendo sido realizada de forma online, por meio do Google Meet. A análise das falas dos participantes foi realizada de forma qualitativa com base na análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1997), em que 3 categorias, a saber, interesse, desafio e continuidade, que foram extraídas dos termos empregados, buscando determinar com mais detalhamento os sentidos e significados contidos nas interações dos participantes Conclui-se, por meio do envolvimento e engajamento dos participantes, que momentos de atividades com materiais de fácil aquisição permitem aproximar o conhecimento científico das questões do cotidiano. Além de que, esses momentos de interação, ludicidade, compartilhamento de impressões e conhecimento científico permitiram a divulgação das ciências para as crianças, com a intencionalidade por despertar o gosto pelo pesquisar, experimentar, experienciar e a curiosidade.
A Carência de Professores de Química da Bahia: da Formação Inicial às Condições do Trabalho Docente
Authors: Ventura de Souza Rosilene , Ferreira dos Santos Bruno
Published: February 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão acerca da carência de professores de Química no estado da Bahia a partir da realização de uma pesquisa bibliográfica documental. Analisamos pesquisas da área de educação e ensino bem como documentos oficiais que versam sobre a formação de professores de Química e suas condições de trabalho. Em nossas análises discutimos: os aspectos históricos da formação de professores de Química no Brasil e suas implicações no contexto baiano; os impactos dos processos formativos para a construção da identidade profissional docente; as condições de trabalho e o desenvolvimento profissional do professor de Química no estado. Refletimos acerca do número insuficiente de professores de Química na Bahia e consideramos que essa carência decorre da elevada evasão dos estudantes nos cursos de licenciatura, da baixa atratividade da carreira docente, das possibilidades de desvio da profissão após a conclusão do curso e também da dificuldade de ingressar na carreira pública do magistério com um vínculo empregatício estável.
Concepções de Professores de Química sobre Atividades Lúdicas para Ensino de Termoquímica

Published: February 2023

Diante da natureza eminentemente abstrata da Química, as atividades lúdicas se configuram como uma importante estratégia didática para promover a compreensão dos conceitos mais complexos e abstratos presentes no conteúdo deste componente curricular. Tais estratégias colaboram para o Ensino de Ciências, especificamente, o de Química, em relação ao conteúdo de Termoquímica. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo conhecer as estratégias metodológicas usadas pelos professores de Química de Campo Verde – MT, ao ensinarem os conceitos de Termoquímica. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de natureza qualitativa, por meio do Estudo de Caso que teve como instrumento de coleta o questionário e entrevista semiestruturada. Como método de análise de dados foi usada a Análise Textual Discursiva. Nesse âmbito, a partir dos resultados obtidos, observou-se que os conceitos abordados, no conteúdo de Termoquímica, termos como: calor, energia e temperatura; esses conceitos ainda causam algumas confusões na hora de serem explanados em sala de aula. Assim, demonstra-se que esta temática ainda precisa ser muito explorada com o intuito de contribuir no processo de ensino, evitando, assim, concepções errôneas aos alunos, como também as atividades lúdicas como metodologia didática na construção desses conceitos.
Agrotóxicos como Tema Gerador para o Ensino-Aprendizagem das Propriedades Físico-Químicas de Compostos Orgânicos: Uma Proposta para o Ensino Médio
Authors: De Paula Candido Dandara , Herbst Marcelo Hawrylak
Published: February 2023

É notória a dificuldade dos alunos do Ensino Médio em reconhecer os fenômenos químicos em sua rotina. Um dos fatores geralmente apontados para isso é a falta ou a deficiência da associação do conteúdo de química com seus contextos sociais. A contextualização por meio de temas sociais – conhecidos como “Temas Geradores” ou “Temas Químicos Sociais” – é de grande importância, proporcionando uma aprendizagem com maior significado, pois permite a problematização e a análise de fenômenos da realidade com base nos conceitos químicos, podendo relacionar-se com outras disciplinas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma metodologia de ensino de propriedades físico-químicas de compostos orgânicos para o terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, com base na química dos agrotóxicos e, assim, estimular o pensamento crítico dos alunos em relação aos usos, riscos e benefícios desses produtos. A pesquisa foi realizada no segundo semestre de 2019, numa escola pública localizada em Seropédica/RJ, e utilizou como intervenções didáticas questionários, roda de conversa e aula teórica, todos voltados para a verificação dos conhecimentos prévios e/ou adquiridos ou reformulados a partir da metodologia aplicada. Os resultados obtidos na pesquisa apontam que os alunos têm dificuldade em reconhecer, na química, uma ferramenta para entender e explicar fenômenos do cotidiano. As intervenções se mostraram relevantes porque apresentaram informações até então desconhecidas ou incompletas para os alunos, como o uso urbano dos agrotóxicos, e possibilitaram a compreensão dos usos e riscos desses produtos a partir de um ponto de vista das propriedades dos compostos orgânicos.

A acidificação dos oceanos é uma grave ameaça para a vida marinha, que afeta diretamente os organismos calcificadores. Até o presente momento, há poucos relatos na literatura a respeito de trabalhos que tenham utilizado esta temática para o ensino de ciências. Neste artigo, apresentamos a análise das contribuições de uma sequência didática (SD) com enfoque CTSA (Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente), visando contextualizar conceitos relativos à química inorgânica, a partir das substâncias e reações químicas envolvidas no processo de acidificação dos oceanos. Participaram da pesquisa 31 estudantes do 1° ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública localizada no município de João Pessoa-PB. Durante a aplicação da SD, os participantes vivenciaram momentos de leitura textual, debates, aulas experimentais e atividade lúdica. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados, dois questionários foram aplicados. Os resultados evidenciaram um maior envolvimento dos estudantes com a aprendizagem por meio da contextualização dos conteúdos dentro da temática de acidificação dos oceanos, promovendo um olhar ampliado para a questão da poluição causada pelos seres humanos e os malefícios que esta causa ao ambiente marinho e à sociedade.
