The research employed an applied methodology with a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative) and an exploratory-descriptive design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire containing closed-ended questions, open-ended questions, and Likert scale items, administered between November 2024 and May 2025 to managers of incubators, pre-incubators, innovation hubs, and accelerators accredited by SEPARTEC+. A total of 53 valid responses were obtained. Findings reveal a diverse range of performance indicators currently used and desired by these environments, with emphasis on regional impact generation, ecosystem articulation, advancement of the technological maturity of incubated solutions, and governance quality. The study also identified gaps between the indicators currently monitored and those perceived as relevant by managers, indicating the need for methodological and institutional support to strengthen the culture of performance evaluation. These results offer valuable insights for public and private managers engaged in designing policies and practices aimed at enhancing innovation promotion environments.

Police work in these high-pressure scenarios demands rapid, accurate, and institutionally legitimized decisions, making stress a central factor in officers’ field performance. The theoretical framework of the proposed model was developed based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), conducted according to the PRISMA protocol using the Web of Science database, resulting in the selection and analysis of 57 scientific studies that grounded the proposed integrative model. The findings were organized into three main categories: Category 1: Individual Processes; Category 2: Training, Technologies, and Strategies; and Category 3: Organizational and Contextual Factors. The study is grounded in the assumptions of Cognitive Appraisal Theory (Folkman & Lazarus, 1980) and the Microfoundations of Strategy (Felin et al., 2012), enabling the empirical testing of relationships among the investigated variables. The research adopts a quantitative approach, using a structured online questionnaire administered to police officers who have experienced critical incidents. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the adequacy of the instrument and to adjust the scales to the needs of the research context. To test the proposed hypotheses, a multiple linear regression model was estimated. The results are expected to contribute to the validation of a robust theoretical model, providing practical inputs for the development of institutional policies, training programs, and stress-management strategies applicable to the public security context.

The work employs qualitative research, utilizing a case study of Frimesa Cooperativa Central, with a time frame from 2020 to 2024. The core methodology is interventional research, complemented by documentary research and content analysis, and validated by the triangulation technique. Data was collected from Frimesa's internal documents (statutes, sustainability reports, manuals, and standards) and theoretical references such as IBGC, COSO ERM, ISO 31000, and the IIA's Three Lines Model. The intervention and analysis revealed that Frimesa's risk management strategies significantly impacted the pillars of corporate governance: integrity, transparency, fairness, accountability, and sustainability. There was a strengthening of the ethical culture, improvement in risk communication via integrated systems like SoftExpert®, formal inclusion of fairness criteria in risk assessments, and standardization of risk reports for senior management. The integration of ESG factors into the cooperative's risk strategies, evidenced by the ESG Roadmap 2040, demonstrated a commitment to long-term sustainability. The study concludes that effective risk management acts as a driver for continuous governance improvement, generating sustainable value for all stakeholders.

Initially, they focused solely on teaching, but later, they incorporated research as an essential aspect. However, the increased value of entrepreneurship, globalization, and the need for solutions to social and economic demands forced higher education institutions to adapt their mission to societal transformations, incorporating entrepreneurship through innovation ecosystems. In this context, Entrepreneurial Universities emerged, characterized by partnerships between universities, government, industry, and later, society, and the environment, according to the Triple, Quadruple, and Quintuple Helix models. As these models expanded, rankings emerged that evaluate these universities considering various dimensions. Given the above, this study aimed to analyze the practices of Entrepreneurial Universities that collaborate toward Sustainable Development in Public Higher Education Institutions in the Western Region of Paraná. To address the research problem and meet the related objectives, the methodology adopted was qualitative and descriptive, adopting a multiple case study approach. This approach allowed us to explore how these universities align their practices with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results revealed that the entrepreneurial universities analyzed play fundamental roles in strengthening regional and sustainable development. Through initiatives such as incubators, technology parks, junior companies, and outreach projects, these institutions have promoted innovation, social inclusion, and environmental preservation. Furthermore, some structural and cultural challenges were identified, addressed with strategies that integrate academia, the market, and society. It is noteworthy that the practices analyzed reflect alignment with the evolutionary Quintuple Helix model, which incorporates sustainability as a driving force for regional progress. Therefore, the study also suggests improvements through guidelines reinforcing the positive impact of these institutions on achieving the SDGs.
