The general objective was to analyze the intersections between gratitude practices and children's food consumption practices in the family context that contribute to well-being. The specific objectives were (1) to identify the family's general consumption habits and behaviors, (2) to understand eating routines at home and the development of children's eating practices, (3) to describe the practices of parents and children who express gratitude and (4) discuss actions in the family and social spheres that aim to develope gratitude in childhood and how it can contribute to a more harmonious relationship with the world of consumption. The study adopted the vision of Transformative Consumer Research so that the results generated indicate advances in the well-being of consumers, specifically children. Using a qualitative research perspective, we conducted interviews with 10 families, with a total of 23 participants, 11 parents and 12 children. In addition, we used self- photographs of the participants, non-participant observation in supermarkets and media analysis as data collection strategies. Through inferences, based on the technique of content analysis, comparisons, experiences, meanings and messages were evaluated. Thus, we were able to understand that eating practices, related to more general consumption behaviors and gratitude suggests that the virtue of gratitude influence to a more benevolent and altruistic look on caregivers that make them more aware of the responsibility of consumption, whether it is food or not. There is an intention to teach good eating habits and to train future consumers. However, at the same time that we see such an effort, parents often live with the dilemmas of giving unhealthy food to their children, but perhaps due to the characteristic, imposing parenting style, they manage to make concessions and demonstrate flexibility. We note, above all, that the concern with food, which may be related to food literacy, in which all families showed to have a certain understanding on the subject, and the adoption of practices different from those experienced by parents in childhood, has led to the emergence of practices different from those of the past, prioritizing healthy eating, although it is common to consume unhealthy foods (hamburger, french fries, sweets, pizza, etc.) during family leisure time. It is interesting, however, that in the past, family meal times were more common in view of the existence of another economic and work context, but today, although parents think it is important, they face more difficulties to get everyone together at the table. Children, in turn, expressed gratitude in different ways, showing that they are in full moral, social and emotional development, being able to understand situations in which gratitude is socially desired and valued. We could see that in general consumption they learned to relate gratitude to receiving a gift, but more than that, they are being taught by parents about people's appreciation of material goods. It is worth noting, however, that we have not seen a devaluation of material goods, on the contrary, we note the search for recognizing the value and effort made to buy material goods, being acceptable and desirable to see the value of work, and consequently, of the money, developing in the child an awareness that buying is an activity that requires a certain level of effort, so it cannot be done irresponsibly. For this reason, we see words like “save”, “promotion”, “piggy bank”, “research” in their speeches. With regard to food, we saw that gratitude is very much related to the moment of the meal, in which some parents ask their children to thank God for the daily meal, although we note that this is another fulfillment of the parents' request, in view of the required subjectivity. From another point of view, we see that the satisfaction generated in children when having their parents together at meal time causes contentment and joy in them, indicating the reinforcement of social ties. Thus, we found associations of gratitude with the families' food and general consumption behaviors, revealing social practices with meanings that, in the view of the participants, contributed to the achievement of well-being. Finally, we could see throughout the development of this thesis that gratitude can be seen from the point of view of social practice, and, therefore, it would be coherent to see such associations from the so-called “nexus of practices”, revealing that the practices overlap and relate in such a way that create a rhythm and pattern of behaviors that we were unable, at first, to separate one from another, since the conjunction of practices shapes the daily lives of people who see it as a whole.

In this context, this study investigates the existence of a carbon risk premium in the Brazilian stock market, analyzing whether companies with higher levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions achieve superior returns compared to less polluting firms. To this end, portfolios of stocks were constructed based on total emissions, carbon emission intensity, and companies’ participation in the Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2) of B3. The methodology employed included panel data econometric models and statistical tests to assess the significance of return differences among the groups analyzed. The results indicate an incipient stage of carbon risk pricing in the Brazilian market. Hypothesis H₁ was rejected, as a nearly null relationship between returns and emissions was detected. Regarding H₂, only certain differences between portfolios showed statistical significance, thus partially confirming the hypothesis. Finally, H₃, which evaluated the impact of ICO2 participation on stock returns, was rejected, since no significant differences in performance were observed between participating and non-participating companies. In summary, the findings suggest that the Brazilian stock market acknowledges carbon as a risk factor, though still at an early stage of incorporation into asset prices. This outcome highlights a space for further development, in which investors and regulators may play a decisive role in consolidating the pricing of climate risk.

This was created and created the Municipal Tourism Council (MTC) in response to qualification criteria to integrate federal programs, such as the Tourism Regionalization Program (TRP) and the tourism map, certifying João Pessoa as an inducing destination. The empirical research was carried out in the second half of 2019, with the adoption of multiple techniques for the production of data, such as observation by shadowing, with notes in a field diary, informal conversations, analysis of documents and interviews with annex - which is of a technique proposed here for PBS research. The interpretative part of the data was based on Bispo's framework (2017), supported by Garfinkilian ethnomethodology and the theoretical framework elaborated. The research revealed MTD as a political field, in which the Bourdieusian concepts of habitus, capital and ideology were associated. Therefore, the general objective of the thesis was to explain the barriers in the creation of interprofessional knowledge in tourism from the interprofessional work carried out at MTD. As specific objectives: i. Characterize tourism as practice in the political field of MTD based on its daily activities; ii. Report the performance of interprofessional work at MTD; iii. Identify heterogeneous elements related to the existing barriers in the creation and application of interprofessional knowledge in tourism from MTD; iv. Conceptualize interprofessional knowledge in tourism in a political field. The results show that tourism is an organizing practice at MTD, consisting of activities that allow interprofessional work, which rarely generates interprofessional knowledge. This low generation was because there are barriers: the political nature of MTD; divergence in the interests of the agents (individuals, agencies and institutions) that act in favor of tourism, the few influence that tourism has on political electoral criteria; slowness in the execution of actions and projects. Among other elements that make up the habitus that characterizes this political field. As conclusion, it was found that in the creation of interprofessional knowledge in a political field, politics (not only as partisan) is a regulator of relations because there are different positions, interests, capitals that direct the rules of the game. That this creation requires overcoming conflicts and the establishment of a common denominator over which interests must converge so that João Pessoa's tourism can reach its potential. Thus, a contribution of this research is to show municipal managers and professionals in public positions in tourism that politics is not an obstacle to the development of interprofessional knowledge in tourism, but rather the dependence of agents on generative structures that reinforce limiting behaviors.

The specific objectives were: (a) to understand the context of action of the enablers within the Northeast Social Impact Business Ecosystem; (b) to characterize the processes of interorganizational learning in the Collective Learning Environment of the Social Impact Business Ecosystem in Northeast Brazil; (c) to identify the barriers that hinder the formation of a Collective Learning Environment; (d) to highlight the determining factors for the dynamics of the Collective Learning Environment in the Social Impact Business Ecosystem; and (e) to propose a reference framework that characterizes the Collective Learning Environment of the Social Impact Ecosystem. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research involved interviews with managers and coordinators of ecosystem enablers, complemented by document analysis and data from specialized platforms. Data analysis was conducted through a comprehensive and interpretative examination of the participants’ narratives, enabling the identification of emerging categories from the discourses, as well as the grouping of patterns and shared meanings among participants. This process revealed the predominant types of learning within the ecosystem and provided an understanding of how these processes are interconnected through formal, informal, and social practices. The results show that ecosystem enablers perform multiple roles involving articulation, capacity-building, and acceleration, and that their actions mobilize three structuring components of the Collective Learning Environment: abiotic (resources, methodologies, spaces, and technologies), biotic (actors and their interactions), and symbolic (identity, belonging, narratives, and language). These elements were systematized into an empirical framework that highlights interorganizational learning as a social and contextual phenomenon. This thesis broadens the understanding of mechanisms that foster interorganizational learning in social impact contexts, while also enabling a reading of the ecosystem through the lens of learning.
