Waste, Environmental awarenessAbstract
Given the relevance of Saladeiro neighborhood to the communities of Quaraí-RS and Artigas, Uruguay, it’s of great importance to the region a Bi-national Project that seeks to enhance environmental awareness actions in both countries. The proposed actions that may minimize the possible environmental and health problems caused by the accumulation of solid waste and stagnant water, allow an improvement in the quality of life of local people. The aim of this study was to survey the current perception of the surrounding residents and students from a public school in relation to environmental issues, to suggest proposals for improvement in the quality of the environment. The proposed actions consisted of lectures, educational folders and the proposal for the task force to clean the banks of the River Quaraí. Regarding the results obtained it was found that students and residents are aware of the environmental and health problems. It can be concluded that in relation to the perception of environmental problems both residents and students are aware of the problem and they understand that short, medium, or long term actions generate consequences, that is, if the environment is clean and healthy there won’t be disease vectors and it won’t be a factor that will collaborate with floods. From the improvement proposals, both residents and students are willing to cooperate with them, this being demonstrated through the interest in preserving the River Quaraí that had as proposal the cleaning of the banks that was not possible due to problems with dates available and the rains that wronged this activity, however, on the Uruguayan side the project was successful.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
