Generative artificial intelligence models have begun to be used to support this work; however, their use still requires an understanding of reliability, explainability, and operational limitations. This study aimed to develop and conceptually validate a process for the initial identification and prioritization of project risks supported by generative artificial intelligence. The research adopted a qualitative, applied, and exploratory approach, guided by Design Science Research and organized into four phases: a systematic literature review, process design, conceptual validation with fifteen project managers, and final refinement. The validation assessed the artifact across seven dimensions (usefulness, ease of use, applicability, reliability, explainability, process quality, and quality of the generated output) through semi-structured interviews and deductive thematic analysis. The results indicate that generative artificial intelligence supports the initial identification of risks by synthesizing information and producing broader preliminary lists, provided that it is accompanied by quality documental inputs, clear contextualization, and mandatory human review. The central finding showed that the applicability of the process depends on the existence and quality of the project's documental artifacts, and that managers' trust derives less from the model's technical performance and more from the traceability of information, the clarity of the steps, and the preservation of human control over the decision. Fourteen of the fifteen managers expressed intention to use the process. The refinement produced version 2.0 of the process, comprising eleven steps, a versioned structured prompt, output and record templates, a human validation checklist, and an implementation manual. The study delivers a structured and empirically validated process for the controlled use of generative artificial intelligence in the initial identification and prioritization of risks in project contexts.

In this context, algorithm visualization software serves as a complementary resource to traditional teaching methods, contributing to the connection between theory and practice. In 2021, a Computer Science student at Unioeste, Foz do Iguaçu campus, developed QuatiView, a web-based algorithm visualization tool designed to support the teaching and learning process of algorithms and data structures. This research aimed to propose the development of version 2.0 of the tool based on a usability evaluation. To achieve this, an analysis of similar tools and a systematic literature review were conducted, resulting in the development of a questionnaire adapted from the System Usability Scale (SUS). The application of the questionnaire to Computer Science students at Unioeste and expert professors in the field made it possible to measure a usability score of 84.26. Based on suggestions for improvements and new features provided by the participants, a list of functionalities and enhancements was defined and included in version 2.0 of the tool.

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.
