<p>This article provides an overview of the known current situation of Guanabara Bay with respect to its pervasive plastic waste pollution, continuing the paired authors' previous works. In addition, the study opens up a broader public discussion on the fundamentals of global degradation, proposing a review of environmental education curriculums including the correct appropriation of the concept of entropy among adults and young people as well. In this sense, the authors deepen the concept and emphasize the importance of considering it in critical reflections on our present-day and future worldly behaviors and actions. Lastly, the work provides some significant and important relevant data and useful references, tracing some lines of thought for building viable solutions, so that the reader can start or continue further studies on the topic addressed herein.</p><p> <strong>Key-words:</strong><strong> </strong>Guanabara Bay,<strong> </strong>entropy, plastic waste, environmental education, global degradation, consumerism.</p><p><strong><span>======================================================================</span> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong>O presente artigo fornece um apanhado geral da situação atual da Baía de Guanabara com respeito à poluição por resíduos plásticos, dando continuidade aos trabalhos anteriores dos autores.

Social representations of human rights violations were investigated in a questionnaire study conducted in five countries (Costa Rica, France, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) (N = 1239 young people). We were able to show that respondents organize their understanding of human rights violations in similar ways across nations. At the same time, systematic variations characterized opinions about human rights violations, and the structure of these variations was similar across national contexts. Differences in definitions of human rights violations were identified by a cluster analysis. A broader definition was related to critical attitudes toward governmental and institutional abuses of power, whereas a more restricted definition was rooted in a fatalistic conception of social reality, approval of social regulations, and greater tolerance for institutional infringements of privacy. An atypical definition was anchored either in a strong rejection of social regulations or in a strong condemnation of immoral individual actions linked with a high tolerance for governmental interference. These findings support the idea that contrasting definitions of human rights coexist and that these definitions are underpinned by a set of beliefs regarding the relationships between individuals and institutions.

Abstract. Background: The Internet is used by young people at risk of self-harm to communicate, find information, and obtain support. Aims: We aimed to identify and analyze websites potentially accessed by these young people. Method: Six search terms, relating to self-harm/suicide and depression, were input into four search engines. Websites were analyzed for access, content/purpose, and tone. Results: In all, 314 websites were included in the analysis. Most could be accessed without restriction. Sites accessed by self-harm/suicide search terms were mostly positive or preventive in tone, whereas sites accessed by the term ways to kill yourself tended to have a negative tone. Information about self-harm methods was common with specific advice on how to self-harm in 15.8% of sites, encouragement of self-harm in 7.0%, and evocative images of self-harm/suicide in 20.7%. Advice on how to get help was given in 56.1% of sites. Conclusion: Websites relating to suicide or self-harm are easily accessed. Many sites are potentially helpful. However, a significant proportion of sites are potentially harmful through normalizing or encouraging self-harm. Enquiry regarding Internet use should be routinely included while assessing young people at risk.
