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.

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.

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.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) stands out in this context due to the high frequency of hospitalizations and deaths, especially among vulnerable groups. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological profile of respiratory viruses associated with SARS and to analyze factors associated with death in cases notified by the Padre Germano Lauck Municipal Hospital (HMPGL), located in the triple international border region, from 2016 to 2023. This is an observational, descriptive and analytical study, with a quantitative approach and the use of retrospective data from hospital epidemiological surveillance records. A total of 3,747 complete SARS records with laboratory confirmation for COVID-19, influenza, or other respiratory viruses and with information on clinical evolution were included. The variables analyzed included gender, age group, presence of comorbidities, use of Oseltamivir, vaccination, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and outcome (discharge or death). Descriptive analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with death, stratifying by etiological agent. There was a predominance of COVID-19 cases (61%), followed by other respiratory viruses (33.4%) and influenza (6.8%). The overall death rate was 28.4%. Advanced age, male gender, higher number of comorbidities, and ICU admission were significantly associated with increased risk of death, especially among COVID-19 and influenza cases. Vaccination against COVID-19 showed a protective effect, reducing the probability of death. Among influenza cases, the use of oseltamivir was associated with ICU admission, suggesting its predominant use in contexts of greater clinical severity. We conclude that SARS remains associated with high hospital morbidity and mortality, with consistent clinical determinants among different viral agents. The findings reinforce the importance of hospital epidemiological surveillance, the expansion of vaccination strategies, and the improvement of the quality-of-care records, especially in international border regions.; Las enfermedades respiratorias que afectan al tracto respiratorio superior e inferior son una causa importante de morbilidad e mortalidad, siendo causadas por agentes virales como el virus de la gripe, el virus respiratorio sincicial, el adenovirus, el hantavirus y el coronavirus. El Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Severo (SARS) destaca en este contexto debido a la alta frecuencia de hospitalizaciones y muertes, especialmente entre los grupos vulnerables. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir el perfil epidemiológico de los virus respiratorios asociados al SARS y analizar factores asociados a la muerte en casos notificados por el Hospital Municipal Padre Germano Lauck (HMPGL), ubicado en la región fronteriza internacional triple, desde 2016 hasta 2023. Se trata de un estudio observacional, descriptivo y analítico, con un enfoque cuantitativo y el uso de datos retrospectivos de registros de vigilancia epidemiológica hospitalaria. Se incluyeron un total de 3.747 registros completos de SARS con confirmación de laboratorio para COVID-19, gripe u otros virus respiratorios, y con información sobre la evolución clínica. Las variables analizadas incluyeron género, grupo de edad, presencia de comorbilidades, uso de Oseltamivir, vacunación, ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) y resultado (alta o fallecimiento). Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y regresión logística multivariante para identificar factores asociados a la muerte, estratificando por agente etiológico. Predominaron los casos de COVID-19 (61%), seguidos de otros virus respiratorios (33,4%) y la gripe (6,8%). La tasa global de mortalidad fue del 28,4%. La edad avanzada, el sexo masculino, un mayor número de comorbilidades y el ingreso en UCI se asociaron significativamente con un mayor riesgo de muerte, especialmente entre los casos de COVID-19 y gripe. La vacunación contra la COVID-19 mostró un efecto protector, reduciendo la probabilidad de muerte. Entre los casos de gripe, el uso de oseltamivir se asoció con el ingreso en UCI, lo que sugiere su uso predominante en contextos de mayor severidad clínica. Concluimos que el SARS sigue asociado a una alta morbilidad y mortalidad hospitalaria, con determinantes clínicos consistentes entre los diferentes agentes virales. Los hallazgos refuerzan la importancia de la vigilancia epidemiológica hospitalaria, la expansión de las estrategias de vacunación y la mejora de la calidad de los registros de atención, especialmente en las regiones fronterizas internacionales.
