Among its specific objectives are: analyzing the legal protection afforded to financial education; examining the pertinent national legislation and international treaties; comparing Brazil’s level of financial literacy with that of other countries; and analyzing proposed normative measures aimed at consolidating this right and the substantive content of the fundamental right to education.At the outset, the study is devoted to the conceptual delineation of financial education, underscoring the effects resulting from the absence of adequate training in this field, particularly with regard to the full exercise of citizenship, individual autonomy, and the capacity for informed decision-making. In this context, it provides an overview of the state of financial literacy in Brazil and abroad.In the subsequent stage, the research investigates the legal foundations that support the topic, based on international treaties ratified by Brazil, the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, related infraconstitutional legislation, and ongoing legislative proposals. Finally, it undertakes a critical reflection on the notion of the scope of implicit and derived fundamental rights, with the aim of assessing the possibility of classifying financial education within this legal domain as a consequence of the material content of the fundamental right to education, as well as considering what financial education would entail in light of Edgar Morin’s teachings for the education of the future.The research adopts a qualitative approach of a theoretical-dogmatic nature. The deductive method is employed, anchored in bibliographical and documentary review as the main investigative techniques. It concludes that, given its relevance for the realization of citizenship and the promotion of social inclusion, financial education should be recognized as a fundamental right derived from the right to education, and it is therefore recommended that it be included as a mandatory subject as part of students’ educational formation. 2026-02-11T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/26043 Título: A Tutela multinível do direito fundamental ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado: uma análise sob a perspectiva das atividades de silvicultura Autor(es): Oliveira, Sophia Cezimbra Abstract: This dissertation, situated within the Concentration Area “Constitutionalization of Law” and linked to the Research Line “Process of Constitutionalization of Rights and Citizenship: theoretical and methodological aspects,” analyzes multilevel protection as a legal model for safeguarding the fundamental right to an ecologically balanced environment and its application to the environmental regulation of forestry in Brazil. It starts from the understanding that contemporary environmental protection requires coordinated forms of normative and institutional action capable of responding to the complexity of current environmental problems, particularly in light of the worsening of climate change, ecosystem degradation, and increasing economic pressure on natural resources. The research examines how multilevel protection manifests itself in the Brazilian context based on the structure of cooperative federalism established by the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, particularly through the allocation of common administrative powers and concurrent legislative powers in environmental matters. It also analyzes the influence exerted by the international environmental commitments undertaken by the Brazilian State on the formulation of domestic environmental policies and on the constitutional interpretation of the right to an ecologically balanced environment. In the specific field of forestry, the dissertation investigates how forestry activities in Brazil have come to be regulated by a set of constitutional, statutory, and administrative rules structured across multiple levels of environmental protection. The research addresses the role of the National Environmental System (SISNAMA), the framework established by Complementary Law No. 140/2011, the current legal framework governing environmental licensing, the provisions of the Forest Code, and the impacts of the recent amendment introduced by Federal Law No. 14,876/2024, which removed forestry from the list of potentially polluting activities provided for in the National Environmental Policy (PNMA). Based on the analysis conducted, it was concluded that multilevel protection broadens environmental protection mechanisms by allowing different normative and institutional levels to act simultaneously with regard to forestry activities. However, the research also identified difficulties related to normative fragmentation, overlapping administrative powers, and the structural limitations of Brazilian federal environmental cooperation, factors that may undermine the effectiveness of environmental protection. It was further found that the administrative flexibilization introduced by Federal Law No. 14,876/2024 does not remove the constitutional duties of environmental preservation established in Article 225 of the Federal Constitution, and that environmental control mechanisms, administrative enforcement, and the protection of native vegetation therefore remain applicable. Methodologically, the deductive method was adopted, with a qualitative approach, through bibliographic and documentary research involving the analysis of constitutional provisions, ordinary legislation, international treaties, environmental regulatory instruments, and specialized legal scholarship. The dissertation is structured into chapters devoted to the analysis of the theoretical foundations of multilevel protection, its application within Brazilian environmental law, and the legal regulation of forestry in light of the Brazilian cooperative environmental model. 2026-08-24T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25790 Título: Direito regulatório comportamental: nudges e novas abordagens na busca por eficácia de políticas públicas de saúde em Sergipe Autor(es): Souza, André Felipe Santos de Abstract: This master’s thesis investigates a public health governance problem that emerges in the gap between the formal provision of public health services and the population’s effective adherence to preventive policies, with an emphasis on vaccination within Brazil’s Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde—SUS) in Sergipe, using Aracaju as a case study. The research problem is formulated as follows: how can a nudge-based choice architecture be designed to reduce decisional and administrative frictions and increase adherence to public vaccination policies, without claiming empirical measurement of impact, and under parameters of legal legitimacy guided by proportionality, transparency, data protection, and the dignity of the human person? The dissertation advances the hypothesis that instruments of Behavioral Regulatory Law (Direito Regulatório Comportamental) can operate as a complementary layer to conventional legal tools by lowering action costs and foreseeable barriers (such as inertia, forgetting, low salience, and difficulty navigating services), provided they are subject to a regime of public justifiability capable of preventing opacity, indirect discrimination, undue nudges, and the conversion of simplification into obstacles (sludge). The overall objective is to develop, in a predominantly theoretical framework, a proposal for a behaviorally informed intervention that is legally controllable and administratively feasible for the context of Sergipe; as specific objectives, the dissertation seeks to (i) systematize conceptual foundations regarding bounded rationality, choice architecture, and nudges; (ii) characterize the crisis of adherence to immunization policies as a regulatory problem of implementation and behavior; and (iii) propose design parameters and legitimacy-control standards for light-touch interventions in public health. Methodologically, the study consists of bibliographic and documentary research with international scope, combined with a critical review of the literature on behavioral science applied to public policy, a legal-normative analysis of the relevant constitutional-administrative framework for health, and a discussion of governance and ethical criteria; official data and indicators are used contextually and descriptively, without causal inference. As results, the dissertation delimits the adherence problem as a multifactor phenomenon associated with frictions and vaccine hesitancy, proposes a modular choice architecture for the case of Aracaju, and consolidates a set of methodological and constitutional-legal criteria for assessing, ensuring transparency and auditability, and protecting rights in the use of nudges, offering public policy recommendations formulated as conditional guidelines for responsible implementation. 2026-02-11T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25534 Título: Direito fundamental à educação: uma visão jusliterária em Vidas Secas Autor(es): Quintino, Emanuelle Moura Abstract: This dissertation discusses the fundamental right to education from a legal-literary perspective in Graciliano Ramos's novel Vidas Secas. By exploring the intersection between law and literature, this interdisciplinary research seeks to understand how literary narrative problematizes cultural elements related to the right to education, addressing Brazilian social inequality, demonstrating the resilience of the characters from the northeastern hinterland, and the need to realize the fundamental right to education as an indispensable means to a dignified life. In this way, it is linked to the line of research “Process of Constitutionalization of Rights and Citizenship: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects” within the field of legal-literary studies anchored in phenomenological hermeneutics. The methodology used involves a qualitative approach based on a review of the literature and case law. In this sense, it aims to contribute, through legal criticism in Vidas Secas, to the discussion of the fundamental right to education, articulating the relationships between memory, the Constitution, democracy, culture, and development, while problematizing the conditions for the realization of the right to education in the face of Brazil's historical legal and cultural reality, analyzing the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 4 of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda in Brazil and the role of the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in an Extraordinary Appeal (RE) on education. It can be concluded that the novel Vidas Secas is an important tool for legal reflection and a source of constitutional hermeneutics, especially when linked to phenomenology and the cultural perspective of the Constitution. Finally, it was found that the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court in cases of general repercussion play a relevant role in the enforcement of this fundamental right, although some still present limitations when analyzed in light of the social dilemmas portrayed in the narrative. 2026-02-26T00:00:00Z
