Title: Aderência às práticas ESG em uma instituição pública de ensino superior: As lacunas entre as ações realizadas pela instituição e as percepções da comunidade acadêmica Autor: França, Luiz Fernando Primeiro orientador: Damke, Elói Junior Abstract: A growing body of research has focused on understanding how organizations implement environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management practices. However, investigations analyzing the proxies that comprise these practices and how they are perceived by stakeholders are still scarce. In this context, this study analyzes adherence to ESG practices in a federal educational institution, from the perspective of internal and external stakeholders, using the Foz do Iguaçu Campus of the Federal Institute of Paraná (IFPR) as a case study. The research adopts a qualitative, descriptive approach, using document analysis of Management Reports and the Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS), semi-structured interviews, and observations conducted in the institutional environment. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques, with the support of Atlas.ti software. The results indicate the existence of relevant actions aligned with ESG principles, especially in the environmental and social dimensions, such as energy efficiency initiatives, environmental preservation, inclusion, and extension projects. However, opportunities for improvement were identified related to the adequacy of the Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS) and its respective reports, as well as waste management, strengthening communication channels, and increasing the ownership of institutional initiatives by different audiences. It is concluded that, despite the progress observed, there is a need to strengthen governance and stakeholder engagement in order to raise the level of institutional ESG maturity and expand the generation of public value aligned with the 2030 Agenda.

Title: Benchmarking na gestão de programas universitários de extensão para pessoas idosas: estudo sobre práticas sustentáveis em UNATIs do Paraná Autor: Rodrigues, Eliane Delgado Primeiro orientador: Oderich, Cecília Leão Abstract: Population aging is a growing reality in Brazil, requiring effective responses from public institutions, particularly in the field of education. Within this context, Universities Open to Older Adults (UNATIs) play a strategic role by promoting extension activities focused on inclusion, lifelong learning, and healthy aging. In the state of Paraná, this initiative has gained prominence, with consolidated experiences in several public universities, such as UNATI Foz, linked to UNIOESTE, which since 2008 has worked to articulate teaching, research, and extension. However, despite these advances, studies that systematize the management models adopted by these programs remain scarce. This research sought to fill this gap by analyzing management practices in UNATIs in Paraná through benchmarking, focusing on four dimensions: organizational structure, financial sustainability, integration with teaching and research, and evaluation mechanisms. The adopted approach is qualitative and descriptive in nature, based on data triangulation among semi-structured interviews with coordinators, participant observation, and document analysis.The results indicate that there is no single management model; rather, there are institutional arrangements adapted to the reality of each institution, in which the continuity of actions is strengthened by the permanent formalization of structures. The study culminated in the systematization of guidelines for good practices, recommending: institutionalization through senior-level resolutions and fixed organizational structures; shared and interdisciplinary management; territorial engagement and intersectoral partnerships; full integration into academic life; formalization of student representation; and the updating of nomenclature and legal alignment.The study concludes by affirming university extension as an indispensable movement for social transformation, consolidating it as a sustained public policy for citizenship and longevity.

Title: Steady-State Thermal-Fluid Modeling of Station-Class Porcelain and Polymeric-Housed Surg Arresters with Internal Air Gap Autor: Mattje, Juliana Lima Primeiro orientador: Franco, Edgar Manuel Carreno Abstract: Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de modelos numéricos termo-fluidodinâmicos para para-raios com invólucro de porcelana de 228 kV e com invólucro polimérico de 240 kV, sob condições de operação em regime permanente. A abordagem eletrotérmica acoplada proposta permite uma representação detalhada do comportamento térmico do equipamento, ao considerar a distribuição não uniforme das perdas elétricas e a convecção natural nos domínios de ar interno e externo. Diferentemente de estudos anteriores que se baseiam em tratamentos simplificados da convecção natural, utilizando coeficientes médios de transferência de calor ou correlações empíricas, o presente trabalho adota uma formulação termo-fluidodinâmica completa, na qual as equações de conservação de massa, momento e energia são resolvidas pelo Método dos Volumes Finitos. Além disso, a geração de calor nos blocos de varistor de óxido de zinco (ZnO) é obtida a partir de um modelo elétrico, resultando em uma distribuição espacial fisicamente consistente de fontes volumétricas de calor. O modelo desenvolvido permite a predição de campos térmicos internos não acessíveis por técnicas experimentais e fornece uma ferramenta complementar à termografia infravermelha para o monitoramento de condição e avaliação de desempenho de para-raios. Adicionalmente, os coeficientes equivalentes de transferência de calor por convecção obtidos por meio das simulações podem auxiliar no aprimoramento de modelos térmicos simplificados. Por fim, a metodologia pode ser estendida para cenários operacionais mais complexos, incluindo a presença de defeitos internos e efeitos de instalação em transformadores.

Title: Sustentabilidade nas compras públicas: pressões institucionais e estratégias para a implementação em instituições federais de ensino superior Autor: Rodriguez, Karla Ghellere Primeiro orientador: Santos, Manoela Silveira dos Abstract: The enactment of Law No. 14,133/2021 consolidated the obligation to adopt sustainable criteria in public procurement in Brazil, assigning Federal Higher Education Institutions (IFES) a strategic role in promoting responsible consumption patterns. This dissertation aimed to analyze how the institutional context influences the adoption of strategies for implementing sustainable public procurement (SPP) in these institutions. The research, of a qualitative and exploratory nature, was structured into three interconnected articles. The first article, a systematic literature review, identified consolidated environmental, social, and economic criteria, as well as recurring strategies such as training, clear definition of criteria, and the use of certifications. The second article, through a multiple case study conducted in federal universities in the state of Paraná, identified the predominance of coercive pressures and revealed that organizational responses vary between acquiescence and compromise, depending on internal factors such as technical capacity, staff availability, and institutional support. The third article, a case study at the Federal University of Latin American Integration, enabled the proposal of an integrated strategic model structured around four dimensions: knowledge and training, regulatory instruments and guidelines, document formalization, and monitoring. The results indicate that the existence of legal frameworks alone does not guarantee the effective implementation of SPP, which depends on a process of institutionalization that integrates norms, organizational capacities, technical planning, and oversight of contract execution. From a practical perspective, the dissertation provides support for translating the requirements of Law No. 14,133/2021 into effective administrative routines by proposing a strategic model focused on developing technical capacities, operationalizing regulatory guidelines, improving document formalization, and strengthening contract execution monitoring. Additionally, it suggests tools such as internal operational guides, databases of sustainable criteria, and binding checklists, aiming to strengthen governance in sustainable procurement within IFES. From a theoretical perspective, the study contributes to Institutional Theory by demonstrating that the institutionalization of sustainable public procurement does not occur automatically as a result of regulatory advancement but is mediated by organizational conditions that influence how institutional pressures are interpreted and operationalized within IFES.
