However, insufficient understanding of the structure and dynamics of landscapes can lead to diverse socio-environmental impacts, threatening the dynamic equilibrium of this complex geographical entity that is the watershed. In this context, the objective is to analyze the structure and current dynamics of the landscape units in the Arroio Guaçu Watershed (BHAG), Paraná, Brazil. Additionally, the study aims to understand the socio-environmental impacts and transformations present in the identified natural and socio-natural units. The theoreticalmethodological framework focuses on: landscape and the geosystem analysis; landscape geoecology; landscape cartography; watersheds; and socio-environmental impacts and impact matrices. The theoretical guidelines enable the integration of natural and social variables that shape the landscapes analyzed in the BHAG. The methodology for mapping the landscape units adheres to the principles, methodological, and technical principles of landscape cartography, integrating geospatial elements into four taxonomic levels: 1st level – slope and hypsometry (morphometry); 2nd level – results of the 1st level combined with soil information; 3rd level – results of the 2nd level combined with phytogeography information (natural landscapes); 4th level – results of the 3rd level (or natural landscapes) combined with land use and land cover information (socio-natural/transformed landscapes). The mappings reveal 24 natural landscape units, which, when influenced by land use and land cover, are transform into 132 socio-natural landscape units, divided into three major geosystemic units: lower, middle and upper course. To understand the socio-environmental impacts and landscape transformations, impact matrices and geoecological profiles are used, interpreted through a geosystemic approach. Through geoprocessing, fieldwork, and the application of 67 socio-environmental impact matrices throughout the BHAG, it was possible to understand the current dynamics of the identified units and the transformative agents of these landscapes. The results indicate that socio-environmental impacts stem from multiple agents, with particular emphasis on extensive temporary crops, which have reduced native vegetation and enabled the establishment of other associated land uses, such as fish farming. These land uses have resulted in a weakened fauna, erosion-prone soils, and the proliferation of exotic fish species in artificial lakes in the lower slopes and tributaries of the Arroio Guaçu. It is believed that this research can support planning and management actions aimed at the proper management of the BHAG, with the identified and analyzed landscapes serving as a starting point.

What makes each individual unique and special is precisely their differences. This principle also applies to education: learning is a singular process, and conventional pedagogical approaches often fail to meet the needs of all students. To ensure effective inclusion, schools must adopt flexible and adaptive strategies, promoting not only the adaptation of teaching methods and materials but also a welcoming environment where differences are respected and nurtured. Within this context, this dissertation aims to identify and map students diagnosed with Global Developmental Disorders (GDD) and/or Neurodevelopmental Disorders in the municipal public school system, analyzing their distribution by grade, year, and school. The methodology included data collection and systematization techniques such as descriptive statistics, tabulation in charts, tables, and graphs. The results enabled quantifying the number of students with GDD enrolled in the municipal system, identifying schools and grades with the highest incidence of these diagnoses and mapping the spatial distribution of these students. The findings highlight the need for evidence-based, personalized educational policies to promote equity and maximize each student's potential.

The effects of climate change are felt on a meso- and microclimatic scale, making studies on trends in climate patterns in different parts of the world necessary. In addition, they are necessary for governments and entities seeking to mitigate the effects of climate change, especially for the people most vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, this study sought to identify whether there is a regional pattern of trend evolution in the West and Southwest regions of Paraná in the period 1977-2018; in addition, it sought to identify the spatial patterns of positive or negative trends for different climate change detection indices and to assess whether there is a differentiation in the effects of global warming in the two climate types (transition climate in the West region and subtropical climate in the Southwest region). For this purpose, data from updates from the Environmental Dynamics Studies Laboratory (LEDA) were used, constituting a set of 26 meteorological stations from the IDR, SIMEPAR and INMET institutes for the period from 1977 to 2018. Then, the linear trend over time was calculated to identify the increase and/or reduction of extreme events in the study area, and from this, specialization in the free software QGis was carried out to identify the presence (or not) of a regional pattern of climate change in extreme rainfall indices. The results found indicated an increase in the annual total rainfall based on the PRCPTOT index. The CDD and CWD indices indicated consecutive days without an increase, indicating that the occurrence occurs more frequently in fewer days and, also, that dry periods have increased. The other indices used indicated an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme rainfall events in the study area. This indicates that the West and Southwest regions of Paraná present extreme events, reducing local effects of global climate change.

SST oscillations affect continental climates through a physical process known as atmospheric teleconnections. Studies of atmospheric teleconnections and their influences on the horizontal structure of atmospheric circulation can be useful for understanding the occurrence of anomalous rainfall or temperature events in various regions of the globe. Among the teleconnection phenomena that cause global climate variability is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). The PDO is a pattern of decadal variability (30-40 years) that can modulate the effects of other areas of oceanic anomalies, such as the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), in defining the climate variability of Southeast South America. Therefore, studies on the PDO are important in the scenario of climate projections of intensified ENSO events and general warming of global oceans. Thus, this research aims to analyze whether the different phases of the PDO influence precipitation patterns in Southeast South America (SESA), considering the different seasons of the year. The specific objectives are: a) to demonstrate the patterns of precipitation anomalies caused by the PDO for the southeastern region of South America; b) to analyze if there are differences in the effects of the PDO for different seasons of the year. Annual precipitation anomaly maps were developed for each phase of the PDO adopted in the research, namely: a) cold phase, 1950 to 1976; b) warm phase, 1977 to 1996; c) cold phase: 1997 to 2019. Maps were also developed for the 4 seasons of the year for each phase of the PDO. The results show that in the center of South America, there is an inverse pattern of precipitation anomalies in each phase of the PDO, with negative anomalies during cold phases and positive anomalies during warm phases. As for SESA, a positive trend in precipitation was observed during the analyzed period. In other words, it was identified that the PDO does not exert influence on precipitation anomalies in SESA, but rather a positive trend is observed, which also cannot be explained by another element of climate variability, such as El Niño, but is a result of the oceanic warming process in the equatorial region of the planet, with the expansion of the tropical region.
