Title: Transformações na pecuária leiteira brasileira: os impactos no Sudoeste Paranaense Autor: Costa Junior, Nedson Pedro Primeiro orientador: Sampaio, Fernando dos Santos Abstract: Historically marked by significant transformations, the Brazilian dairy sector, driven by market demand for large-scale production and higher quality standards, has been undergoing an intense process of technification, professionalization, and modernization of primary production. This includes the implementation of new methods aimed at increasing productivity and improving efficiency. This process reflects the socioeconomic and spatial changes that have taken place, as well as the level of maturity reached by the dairy production chain. This trajectory has been affecting the permanence of small-scale producers in the activity due to their limited capacity to adapt to new productive dynamics. In this context, the present research examines the recent transformations occurring in the dairy production chain in Brazil, with emphasis on the processes of production centralization and capital accumulation observed in national primary production between 2014 and 2025. The objective is to identify the main impacts and challenges faced by small and medium-sized producers regarding the viability of their continued participation in dairy farming in an economically sustainable and competitive manner, especially in Southwestern Paraná. The analysis of the historical development of the national dairy production chain and its productive structure provided the basis for understanding the current scenario, as well as the main ongoing transformations in dairy farming within capitalist dynamics and the issues concerning small-scale farming.

Title: Comércio exterior e cooperativa agroindustriais do Estado do Paraná Autor: Marciniak, Bruna Primeiro orientador: Sampaio, Fernando dos Santos Abstract: This research analyzes the economic development of the state of Paraná through its performance in foreign trade. The focus is on Paraná's exports as a vector of balance and growth, with the state's commercial dynamics as the object of study. As a case study, agricultural cooperatives are investigated, central actors that integrate and drive this commercialization process, acting from primary production to insertion into global markets. The evolution of the export agenda is highlighted, contextualized by the transformation of Brazil's role in the International Division of Labor from the intensification of the globalization process. To this end, the work is structured in two main analytical movements. First, it examines the geopolitical system and Brazil's position in the international scenario, understanding the arrangements and negotiations that shape world trade. Then, it demonstrates how Paraná, through the production of commodities and its industrialization process associated with agribusiness, has consolidated itself as an economy of national relevance, whose dynamism is intrinsically linked to foreign trade. Therefore, it becomes essential to study the transformations that have occurred in the export process in Paraná, as they not only reflect but also condition regional economic development, being strategically mediated by the actions of agricultural cooperatives.

Title: Olhares dos imigrantes: suas subjetividades, memórias, histórias, desafios de integração e perspectivas em Francisco Beltrão – PR (2009 - 2025) Autor: Djau, Amadu Primeiro orientador: Flávio, Luiz Carlos Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the migratory dynamics of African and Asian populations in Brazil, focusing empirically on the municipality of Francisco Beltrão, from the perspective of geographical science, covering the period from 2009 to 2025. It is grounded in the understanding of migration as a geographical, historical, cultural, symbolic, political, and complex phenomenon. The analysis is supported by the processes of (de)territorialization, (re)territorialization, and multiterritoriality, as proposed by Rogério Haesbaert (2004), encompassing symbolic, material/immaterial, psychological, and political dimensions of space, in dialogue primarily with authors such as Milton Santos (1996; 1997), Paul Claval (2001), Yi-Fu Tuan (1983), David Harvey (2005; 2010), Denis Cosgrove (2008), Ernst Georg Ravenstein (1880), Everett Lee (1966), and Douglas Massey et al. (1993), among others. Based on a combination of bibliographic and documentary review, interviews, field observations, and statistical data, the research focuses particularly on migrant workers employed in the halal sector of BRF in Francisco Beltrão, as well as in other segments of the local labor market, such as supermarkets, repair workshops, and small businesses. The study demonstrates how the labor insertion of these international migrants reveals trajectories marked by challenges, forced and/or intentional mobility, and struggles for survival, identity recognition, and cultural affirmation. At the same time, it highlights practices of resistance, solidarity, historical existential reconstruction, and spatial appropriation mediated by knowledge, religiosity, and processes of language learning and coexistence. Thus, this study examines the presence of new migratory flows in Francisco Beltrão and their contrasts with local identities. Drawing on the categories of territory in Santos (1996), place in Tuan (1983), landscape in Cosgrove (2008), and space as a social construction in Claval (2001) and Raffestin (1993), it analyzes the perspectives of international migrants in the city and reinforces their centrality as agents of territorial transformation. Finally, it underscores the urgency of public policies that ensure migrants’ rights, promote inclusion, and value cultural diversity as a constitutive element of local heritage.

Title: Rompendo o silêncio e construindo a proteção: violência de gênero na Unioeste Campus de Francisco Beltrão Autor: Maier, Emili Natieli Molinari Primeiro orientador: Santos, Roselí Alves dos Abstract: Gender-based violence is an increasingly prominent topic in contemporary research across a wide range of fields of knowledge, since the presence of this phenomenon, unfortunately, remains deeply rooted in various spheres of society. However, despite the growing discussions surrounding this issue, there is still a long way to go due to the challenges of addressing the sensitive issues involved, as well as the multiple intersections that may arise within contexts of violence. This study aimed to understand the violence perpetrated against women within the university context. To this end, it sought to identify such violence in academic spaces and events at the Western Paraná State University (UNIOESTE), Francisco Beltrão campus. The main issues investigated were students’ perceptions of the subject and the institutional measures proposed to confront gender-based violence. This is a qualitative-quantitative study based on bibliographic research, drawing on the theoretical framework available in the catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), as well as other publications relevant to the discussion. Data collection was carried out through a digital questionnaire with a voluntary participation sample of 66 respondents, a number resulting from the process of institutional silencing that hinders the recognition of violence, access to information, and reporting. As part of the methodological process, semi-structured interviews were also conducted with 12 different university representatives. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis, which revealed, among many other findings, the importance of support networks and the urgent need for policies that encourage reporting and broaden discussion within academic spaces, given that the most frequently reported occurrence was sexual harassment perpetrated by peers and professors within classrooms.
