Environmental disputes arising from this activity have resulted in public civil actions filed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which have taken a considerable amount of time to reach completion. In this context, the use of procedural techniques better suited to the resolution of such environmental disputes is essential, as they involve the protection of present and future rights of the entire population. Through a qualitative and quantitative approach, this research aimed to analyze the feasibility of using procedural legal agreements (negócios jurídicos processuais) as an instrument for the effective enforcement of environmental judicial protection in judicial proceedings that discuss the legality of shrimp farming in the municipality of Nossa Senhora do Socorro, State of Sergipe (SE), Brazil. To this end, it was necessary to identify the procedural difficulties that hinder the effective resolution of judicial proceedings addressing the legality of shrimp farming in the municipality of Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE, through the examination of court records. In addition, a sustainability index was established within the scope of the Public Civil Action that discusses the legality of shrimp farming in the municipality of Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE, based on the definition of indicators related to the environmental, social, and legal dimensions of shrimp farming, using the methodology proposed by Calorio (1997). Finally, the study analyzed how the institute of procedural legal agreements can be applied in Public Civil Actions aimed at protecting the environment. The research isstructured into three complementary studies. The first study consisted of a systematic literature review on procedural legal agreements. The second study focused on determining a sustainability index within the scope of the Public Civil Action that discusses the legality of shrimp farming in the municipality of Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE, based on the definition of indicators related to the environmental, social and legal dimensions of the activity, in accordance with the methodology proposed by Calorio (1997). Indicators IJ1 (time to judgment), IJ2 (court-appointed expert evidence), and IS1 (legal aid) exhibited the highest levels of unsustainability, with the legal dimension standing out as the most unsustainable among those analyzed. The third study integrated the previous chapters and presented models of procedural legal agreements derived from the results obtained. The findings demonstrated the potential of procedural legal agreements as an instrument capable of providing greater effectiveness and procedural efficiency in judicial proceedings, without compromising the quality of outcomes, with positive effects both for environmental protection and for society. Moreover, the identification of the sustainability index proved to be a fundamental element for the development of procedural legal agreements aligned with the social, environmental, and legal realities of the activity under analysis.

The research addresses the socio-environmental impacts resulting from the exploitation and improper use of natural resources, considering Environmental Education as a strategy for social awareness, environmental conservation, and the mitigation of these impacts. In this context, the study sought to answer the following questions: How does DESO carry out Environmental Education actions through the DESO + Verde Program? What are the contributions of these actions to the promotion of environmental sustainability? What is the relevance of these initiatives to environmental conservation and social awareness? The main objective is to analyze the contribution of the Environmental Education actions developed by the DESO + Verde Program to the promotion of environmental sustainability in Sergipe. Methodologically, this is an applied, descriptive study with a qualitative approach supported by quantitative data, developed through bibliographic and documentary research. Institutional documents from DESO, sustainability reports, projects and materials related to environmental actions, legislation, and other documents concerning the DESO + Verde Program were analyzed, covering the period from 2019 to 2025. For data processing, documentary analysis and the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2016) were used to identify categories, interpret the content, and draw inferences from the documents analyzed. The results showed that DESO carries out actions related to Environmental Education, reforestation, recovery of degraded areas, distribution and planting of seedlings, socio-environmental awareness, and community participation, reaching a significant portion of the municipalities in Sergipe. It was also found that the initiatives analyzed are related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 13, Climate Action. The actions contribute to the conservation of natural resources, environmental recovery, strengthened social participation, and increased public awareness of socioenvironmental responsibility. It is concluded that the actions developed by DESO, especially through the DESO + Verde Program, constitute an important tool for promoting environmental sustainability, highlighting the potential of Environmental Education as a strategy to connect natural resource conservation, social awareness, socio-environmental responsibility, and sustainable development in the state of Sergipe.

This thesis aimed to promote the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) integrated with climate forecast data for the automatic detection, severity quantification, and support of sustainable management of Cercospora leaf spot. The research was conducted in the municipality of Lagarto, state of Sergipe, Brazil (coordinates: 10.91°S, 37.66°W), and was structured into four complementary studies encompassing technical, technological, and social dimensions. The first study consisted of a systematic literature review, analyzing 64 studies addressing the use of CNNs for automatic assessment of plant disease severity. The second study focused on the development, comparison, and validation of eight customized models based on the Mask R-CNN and YOLOv8 architectures, using an original dataset composed of 1,645 leaf images containing 6,282 annotated lesions collected under real field conditions. This dataset was made publicly available to the scientific community. Mask R-CNN-based models achieved superior performance in pixel-level metrics, with the mask_rcnn_R101_FPN_3x model reaching an MIoU of 86.0% and an F1-score of 92.4%. In contrast, YOLOv8 models outperformed in disease severity level classification, with the YOLOv8n-Seg model achieving a precision of 95.2% and an F1-score of 95.1%. The third study integrated the segmentation models with climate data obtained via API into a mobile decision support system named FitoView, implemented as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) on the Google Cloud Platform. Validation of the OpenMeteo API revealed high correlations with INMET data for temperature (Pearson correlation coefficient r between 0.90 and 0.97), relative humidity (r between 0.81 and 0.95), and solar radiation (r > 0.90) across four municipalities in the state of Sergipe. The system combines CNN-based image analysis with 48-hour weather forecasts, generating contextualized recommendations through a decision matrix that considers detected disease severity, climatic risk, and suitable spraying conditions. The fourth study investigated challenges and opportunities for implementing Agriculture 4.0 technologies among family farmers in the municipality of Lagarto, using participatory approaches that included the presentation of the FitoView system, interviews on local radio, and the development of educational materials. The adopted methodology was based on dialogical processes of engagement and dissemination, enabling the identification of structural limitations—such as connectivity constraints and the need for digital skills training—as well as significant opportunities, particularly the widespread adoption of smartphones. In summary, the results of the four studies demonstrate that the integration of artificial intelligence and climate data can effectively support plant disease control and promote more sustainable management practices, with the potential to reduce pesticide use, especially when developed in alignment with the realities, needs, and capacities of local family farming systems.

Chapter 1 presents a mapping of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations addressing Candomblé and education, highlighting the growth of academic production on the topic, its main approaches, and existing gaps, such as the limited attention given to basic education and childhood within terreiros. Chapter 2 presents the empirical research conducted in a Candomblé terreiro located in Aracaju, Sergipe, focusing on traditional knowledge related to the liturgical and educational practices of the terreiro in the formation of critical subjects. The research participants are members of the terreiro and religious leaders, whose narratives emphasize orality, the circularity of knowledge, and the central role of women in the maintenance, transmission, and resignification of ancestral knowledge and practices. Chapter 3 describes the process of designing and validating a didactic sequence based on this knowledge, evaluating its theoretical and methodological coherence with the principles of CEE and ERER. Finally, Chapter 4 analyzes the discursive interactions that emerged during the implementation of a didactic sequence that articulates knowledge from traditional terreiro communities, developed within the context of initial Biology teacher education. The analysis sought to assess the potentials and limitations of this pedagogical experience in articulating ERER and Critical Environmental Education. To this end, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), as proposed by Norman Fairclough, was employed, focusing on the textual, discursive practice, and social practice dimensions, based on the discursive interactions produced by the pre-service teachers during the didactic sequence. This approach made it possible to understand how the student teachers mobilized ancestral knowledge to challenge the curriculum, problematize epistemicide, and construct pedagogical meanings guided by decolonial and re-existence perspectives. Overall, the study demonstrates how the centrality of traditional terreiro knowledge functions as a living and politically relevant epistemology for contemporary education. The results show that engagement with the knowledge of traditional terreiro communities contributes to the formation of Biology teachers who are more critical, ethical, and epistemologically aware, capable of questioning the supposed neutrality of science and recognizing the plurality of ways of producing knowledge. By engaging in dialogue with Candomblé, the research broadens the horizons of Science and Biology teacher education, pointing to pathways for educational practices committed to social justice, sustainability, and the confrontation of structural and epistemological racism.
