“…Memes have also been shaped by events, replication, instantaneity, ease of creation, absence of authorship, predominance of the use of images combined with words, parody, satire and social and political criticism [Pulos, 2020;Costa & Albuquerque, 2021;Mortensen & Neumayer, 2021]. The concise information disseminated by memes is enabled by its small structure, quickly read, which allows for rapid reproduction.…”

“…Therefore, to enable the expansion of meanings about science, one must think about ways to instrumentalize the public so that it can analyze these posts, in view of their characteristics. According to Costa and Albuquerque [2021], analyzing aspects of irony, humor, comparing posts, and even encouraging the production of memes, which are strategies that convey a playful content, can help minimize this harmful phenomenon by circumventing a direct clash that stirs up ideological emotions and may be ineffective.…”

“…The meme comprises numerous images representing the virus composed of the face and expressions of the former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, which confers human attributes to the Covid-19 virus. This resource is very common in memes, indicating the conscious intentionality of the agent of the action [Dynel, 2021;Costa & Albuquerque, 2021].…”

This study aimed at analyzing Brazilian memes posted on Instagram about Covid-19, in which scientific concepts were intertwined with the message. The research was based on virtual ethnography and the analysis considered the multimodal structure of memes following principles of the Grammar of Visual Design. Only twelve memes out of a universe of 83 identified (14.5%) presented knowledge about science interdependently with meanings that could be produced. One of the core aspects is the complexity of both representations and scientific concepts in memes about Covid-19. Scientific aspects, humor and irony were associated with social and political criticism through different multimodal interactions.

“…Kędra e Žakevičiūtė (2019) em relação às práticas comunicativas dos estudantes da atualidade serem mediadas por representações visuais amplamente compartilhadas em mídias sociais e internet, o que representa a influência da cultura digital na expansão da multimodalidade da linguagem científica e pode também representar uma estratégia para aproximá-la da linguagem cotidiana e torná-la mais atraente(PAIVA, 2016;ALBUQUERQUE, 2021).Observa-se também a habilidade de comunicação de inscrições em exposições orais do G3, a partir do emprego de diferentes estratégias comunicativas durante a apresentação do slide na Figura 6.14. Visando situar a comparação, inicialmente o grupo indica a técnica proposta pelas personagens utilizando da fala "O que Joanna e Stephany utilizaram foi o ICP-OES, espectrômetro de emissão óptica" e de gestos dêiticos para destacar a coluna da tabela que se refere à técnica.…”

In the information age, the significance of visual representations cannot be underestimated or considered trivial. Graphical literacy, encompassing knowledge and skills in interpreting visual representations of scientific objects and phenomena (referred to as inscriptions), plays a crucial role in this context. However, many students struggle with using and comprehending inscriptions, and they are seldom encouraged to engage in argumentative practices within science classes. The literature emphasizes the importance of incorporating authentic scientific practices into science education, which involve using inscriptions for rhetorical purposes. This promotes the association between graphical literacy and scientific argumentation, enhancing the critical use of inscriptions. This study aims to implement and analyze teaching activities that simultaneously foster graphical literacy and scientific argumentation through the resolution of interrupted case studies. Three case studies were created focusing on heavy metal contamination of water resources and its effects on human health, based on peer-reviewed articles. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the cases were implemented remotely in a scientific communication course offered to undergraduate chemistry students. The students worked in groups, delivering oral presentations to discuss the resolution of the cases. The quality of the oral arguments developed during these presentations was analyzed based on their epistemic status and lexical cohesion, employing theoretical and methodological frameworks proposed by Gregory Kelly and collaborators. Additionally, the IRaMuTeQ was utilized to facilitate the processing of these analyses. The analyzed oral arguments integrated conceptual understanding of the problem with empirical evidence obtained during the resolution of the case studies. The conclusions drawn were supported by information of various natures. The arguments also exhibited lexical cohesion, with propositions from different epistemic levels connected through the sharing of morphemes, forming a network of evidence to support the conclusions. The analysis of graphical literacy was conducted through interactional analysis, resulting in the formulation of ten claims pertaining to the skills of selecting, producing, and communicating with inscriptions. These claims were discussed in relation to studies conducted by Wolff-Michael Roth, Lilian Pozzer, and collaborators. The claims demonstrated the utilization of these skills in various situations during the oral presentations, including attributing a theme to the presentation, presenting the case studies' narratives, explaining concepts, presenting and comparing experimental procedures and sampling points, and discussing data for the case studies resolution. The results of this study provide valuable insights into critical aspects influencing the use of inscriptions for rhetorical purposes in multimodal scientific communication scenarios. Additionally, instructional recommendations are proposed for teaching chemistry and dev...

BIOFERTILIZANTE PARA A CULTURA DO COENTRO-COMUM (Coriandrum sativum) UTILIZANDO RESÍDUO DO PROCESSAMENTO DA MANDIOCA (Manihot esculenta)

Manipueira is a cassava processing residue with a polluting potential, and it is crucial to find alternatives for its disposal and reuse. The present study aimed to investigate the potential of this residue as a biofertilizer, through the fertirrigation method, in the culture of common coriander (C. sativum). The research took place through the dilution of manipueira in water in 9 concentrations, from 10% to 90%; in addition, there was the conservation of samples with 0%, containing only water, and 100%, containing pure manipueira. The results showed that coriander seeds fertirrigated with solutions above 70% presented larval emergence in the soil after the 18th day; Another important piece of data is that on the 20th day, the death of all specimens fertirrigated with solutions above 30% was observed, this fact being preceded by leaf stunting (solutions above 80%) and yellowing of leaves. These data can be explained by the soil sodification process (pH > 8.5), which occurred in these samples. Furthermore, all samples did not stabilize the pH within the optimal zone for most cultures (between 5.5 and 7.0), which may explain the death of the specimens on the 25th day. That said, the environmental impact of manipueira on the germination process and botanical development is reinforced, which reiterates the importance of research that aims to find alternatives for the reuse of this residue. Thus, it is necessary to deepen research and even expand the range of cultures tested in each dilution.
