In this scenario, the state of Ceará aims to establish itself as a strategic hub in Brazil for this transition, due to its significant potential in renewable energies (wind and solar) and the creation of the Green Hydrogen Hub at the Pecém complex. In response to this demand, the Ceará Foundation for Scientific and Technological Development Support (FUNCAP) promoted the creation of a research and innovation network in renewable energies (Network Alpha – fictitious name). The network was established through FUNCAP’s funding call, with the goal of bringing together researchers from various institutions and fostering synergies to develop research focused on renewable energy. In this context, this study’s main objective is to investigate the interaction dynamics within Network Alpha by contrasting its planned structure with its emerging network, aiming to understand the factors that drive or hinder cooperation among its members. Data collection was carried out through an electronic questionnaire with seven questions, sent to participants via email. For data analysis, the Gephi software was used. The tool was employed to structure and visualize Network Alpha. It is especially useful for exploring and analyzing different types of network graphs through various social network analysis (SNA) metrics. The network analysis revealed significant differences between the planned network (a priori network) and the actual interaction network (emerging network). The overall metrics from the transition from the a priori network to the emerging network showed a real collaboration structure characterized by low density and high segmentation, where researchers mainly interact with their immediate groups, resulting in a system with greater communication distance and potential difficulty in disseminating knowledge across different research groups. The biggest challenges, identified by the researchers themselves, are not related to the technical quality of the research but rather to governance, coordination among members, and the sustainability of the innovation ecosystem that the network aims to build.

In this context, managerial competencies play a fundamental role in running schools and achieving educational performance goals. This study's overall objective is to understand how managerial competencies contribute to educational performance in public high schools in the state of Ceará. To this end, three specific objectives were defined: to analyze managers' perceptions of the management approach and model employed; to investigate how school managers perceive the individual and managerial competencies existing in public high schools; and to identify educational performance indicators in public high schools and how managers perceive the challenges faced in improving this performance. This multiple-case study adopted a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive approach. Primary data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with principals and school coordinators from four public high schools in the state of Ceará. The interview scripts were developed based on the Cognitive Reflexive Approach (CRA), as proposed by Pinho and Silva (2025), which consists of three stages: introductory, cognitive, and exploratory. Data were obtained by capturing the interviewees' perceptions and cognitions spontaneously; guided, using the index card technique; and interactively. Secondary data about the schools were obtained through document analysis of the schools' websites and social media, as well as document analysis of laws, regulations, school reports, and official indicators. Data analysis was performed using content analysis, as per Bardin (2016), with thematic categorization and interpretation based on the management competency model of Quinn et al. (2003). The study revealed that schools with structured management practices and a focus on monitoring results are better able to plan assertive pedagogical interventions and promote continuous improvement. In summary, the research concludes that management competencies contribute to educational performance, not only through technical and rational planning and monitoring actions, but also by strengthening human relationships, teamwork, and the appreciation of all school stakeholders. The results revealed that management competencies not only contribute to raising educational performance indicators but also strengthen organizational culture and reinforce the importance of implementing structured competency-based management models that integrate the professional development of managers, particularly managerial competencies, with educational goals, to enhance the results of public high schools in Ceará.

In this context, monitoring systems become essential for producing consistent metrics, continuous monitoring, and territorially sensitive diagnoses. However, studies and monitoring instruments remain concentrated on national analyses, heavily influenced by models that measure the energy transition in countries of the Global North and that generally use arithmetic averages to measure and understand this energy transition, consequently masking internal heterogeneities and inequalities. The energy trilemma is a theoretical model traditionally used to measure the energy transition and aspects of energy justice through three dimensions (energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability). The energy trilemma presents limitations when applied to more decentralized levels, such as the subnational level, which, in the case of Brazil, being a country of continental territorial dimensions, is characterized by territorial asymmetries and socioeconomic and environmental inequalities among the states that make up the Brazilian territory. Given these gaps, this thesis proposes a subnational energy transition monitoring system based on an adaptation of the energy trilemma. By replacing the use of simple averages with a vector representation of the energy trilemma, the monitoring system allows for the identification of the direction, intensity, and structural imbalances between the three dimensions, thus capturing nuances invisible in aggregated methods and offering more contextualized interpretations. In addition to methodological advancement, the approach responds to criticisms found in the literature on energy justice, territorial asymmetry, and multilevel governance by providing an instrument capable of capturing socio-spatial inequalities, revealing tensions between dimensions, and complementing existing gaps in traditional models. The methodology, of a qualitative-quantitative nature, was developed in four integrated stages: (i) theoretical-conceptual review; (ii) construction and validation of indicators; (iii) modeling and definition of the subnational index; and (iv) comparative analyses involving the states of Ceará, Piauí, Bahia, and São Paulo. The results demonstrate the analytical relevance of the approach by highlighting contrasting trajectories in the energy transition: the North and Northeast regions present structural weaknesses in energy equity; the Northeast stands out in energy security due to the high participation of renewable sources; the Central-West and South regions concentrate the best environmental performances; and the Southeast presents consistent results in energy equity. Comparative studies reveal patterns impossible to identify using simple averages, such as Piauí, with high clean energy generation combined with low energy inclusion, and the persistent environmental vulnerabilities in Ceará, Bahia, and São Paulo, even though these regions show advances in energy security or equity. The thesis contributes theoretically by proposing a new approach for measuring the energy transition at the subnational level, through a monitoring system that highlights the limitations of using aggregate averages to capture the complexity of the territorial and dimensional dynamics of the energy transition process. Thus, by demonstrating that analysis based exclusively on averages tends to obscure internal asymmetries between territories and dimensions, the application of a three-dimensional and vector-based monitoring system, adapted to the subnational scale, is capable of refining the understanding of the energy trajectories of Brazilian states. This approach integrates, in a single analytical framework, the dimensions of energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability. In applied terms, the Subnational Level Monitoring System offers public managers an objective and replicable tool to identify territorial imbalances, guide investments, prioritize energy policies, and monitor the temporal evolution of states—expanding the state's capacity to promote a more just and territorially balanced energy transition. As a limitation, the insufficiency of broader historical series and subnational databases for environmental and social indicators stands out, which reduces the analytical sensitivity of the environmental sustainability dimension. Even so, the study achieves its objectives by demonstrating that the vector-based approach represents a methodological and practical advance, contributing to monitoring, interpreting, and guiding a more just, secure, and environmentally responsible energy transition in Brazil.

This study aimed to understand how historical-cultural elements, cooperation, and shared values structure the Bordando Resistência Collective as a female social entrepreneurship initiative in the quilombola community of Alto Alegre. The research is justified by the need to expand the academic and social visibility of initiatives led by quilombola women, analyzing the organizational, relational, and identity-based dimensions that sustain their actions. This research adopts a case study approach, having the enterprise itself as the unit of analysis, understood in its organizational, relational, and identity dimensions, based on semi-structured interviews and the application of sociometric generators. The theoretical framework combines the distinction between strong and weak ties proposed by Granovetter (1973) and the resource typology developed by Brush, Greene, and Hart (2001). The study integrates Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016). The results show that the collective emerged from a previous community-based educational experience, the Projeto Libertando, and re-signifies embroidery as a cultural, political, and identity-based language, articulating income generation, quilombola memory, and resistance. The internal network is characterized by high cohesion and relational density, supported by strong ties of trust, care, and belonging, while the external network presents an egocentric configuration, in which weak ties expand opportunities, visibility, and access to institutional and cultural resources without compromising community autonomy. Financial, human, technological, social, symbolic, and intangible resources were identified as being mobilized in a solidarity-based manner, guided by shared values such as unity, friendship, trust, respect, persistence, and resistance. It is concluded that the sustainability of Bordando Resistência results from the dynamic articulation between community embeddedness and relational openness, mediated by cooperation networks and shared values that structure female social entrepreneurship within the quilombola territory.
