From a methodological perspective, a qualitative approach was adopted, using content analysis guided by Bardin’s (2011) framework and applied to a corpus of 744 comments extracted from 50 public posts on the platform. The comments were coded across five analytical dimensions: type of (dis)information, underlying views of culture, position toward the law, symbolic effects on public opinion, and engagement characteristics. The results show that disinformation predominates over accurate information and is disproportionately associated with views of culture as a superfluous expense and as ideological indoctrination, producing hostility toward culture and the delegitimization of the State. In contrast, accurate information is concentrated in conceptions of culture as a right and as an economic driver, generating effects of policy support. The analysis of engagement dynamics further reveals that approximately 80% of disinformation comments circulate with markers of emotionalization, polarization, or spectacularization, whereas 73.8% of comments containing accurate information show no such markers. This asymmetry can be understood in light of the algorithmic amplification of emotional content and the platform business model based on the monetization of attention. The study contributes to the understanding of sociotechnical mechanisms that undermine the social acceptance of cultural funding instruments in the contemporary digital environment. As a Technical-Technological Product, a Practical Guide for Cultural Managers to Respond to Disinformation was developed. 2026-03-30T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48623 Title: Associação entre características estruturais, assistência e ensino, na satisfação dos usuários da HUBRASIL - Hospitais Universitários do Brasil Abstract: Introduction: User satisfaction is an essential component in evaluating the quality of healthcare services, especially in university hospitals that integrate care, teaching, and research. Objective: To assess the extent to which structural, care-related, and academic variables are associated with user satisfaction in the university hospitals of the EBSERH Network. Materials and Methods: Data from 38 hospitals for the year 2023 were analyzed, including structural, care-related, and academic information (total expenditure, number of beds, built area, number of employees, residents, students, residency programs, outpatient visits, diagnostic exams, surgeries, and hospitalizations). Satisfaction scores were obtained from institutional surveys conducted by hospital ombudsman offices and consolidated in a Business Intelligence platform. Generalized Additive Models (GAM) were applied and selected using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). Results: The number of surgeries was the main predictor of overall satisfaction, showing a non-linear relationship. Structural and academic dimensions did not explain the variation in satisfaction, resulting in null models. Higher numbers of hospitalizations and employees were associated with lower satisfaction levels, while care-related variables—particularly surgical volume—showed greater predictive capacity. Conclusion: User satisfaction is more closely associated with the organization and effectiveness of care processes than with the structural size or academic activity of hospitals. The findings reinforce the importance of workflow management, care efficiency, and clinical governance in the user experience. As a technical-technological product, the findings of this study will be consolidated into a Conclusive Technical Report to be submitted to EBSERH, structured in a replicable format and intended for use by hospital managers, health planning and budgeting sectors, and internal and external control bodies, with potential for direct impact on public hospital management and evidence-based decision-making within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). 2026-03-31T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48615 Title: Governança ambiental e sustentabilidade como valor – um estudo de caso em uma universidade pública Abstract: This study analyzes how environmental governance at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia relates to sustainability as an organizational value, as well as identifies which organizational values are recognized by Técnicos Administrativos em Educação. The study is based on the understanding that institutional sustainability is not limited to the existence of formal guidelines, policies, or regulations, but depends on its presence in organizational practices and in the perception of institutional members. This is an applied research study with a mixedmethods and descriptive approach, combining documentary analysis of institutional regulations and environmental policies with the application of questionnaires to staff members. The results showed that the university has relevant institutional foundations for promoting sustainability, indicating a formal commitment to the theme through institutional policies, programs, and actions. An alignment was observed between the organizational values perceived by staff and those traditionally associated with the university mission, such as social commitment, quality of education, and public responsibility, but a lower recognition of environmentally desirable values in everyday organizational practices. The results indicate that, although there is an institutional environmental governance structure and sustainability is formally present in institutional documents and policies, it still does not occupy a central position among the organizational values perceived by staff, revealing a gap between formal sustainability and sustainability perceived in everyday institutional practices. The study contributes to the understanding of environmental governance in public higher education institutions by demonstrating that the formal institutionalization of sustainability does not guarantee its centrality as an organizational value, making communication, training, and institutional engagement actions necessary to bring declared values closer to organizational practices. 2026-03-30T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48495 Title: Financiamento público da saúde no Brasil: fatores determinantes dos gastos estaduais Abstract: Public health financing in Brazil is marked by historical tensions that combine chronic underfunding, economic instability, and federative inequalities, factors that weaken the effectiveness of the Unified Health System (SUS). Despite the constitutional milestone of 1988, which enshrined health as a universal right, the gap between normative principles and the material conditions for implementation remains a central challenge. In this context, understanding the determinants of state health expenditures is essential for assessing the system’s sustainability and guiding public policies. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the trajectory of health expenditures in Brazil’s 26 states and the Federal District from 2014 to 2024, identifying the influence of demographic, socioeconomic, and institutional variables on budget allocation. To this end, a quantitative approach of descriptive and explanatory character was employed, grounded in econometric techniques of panel data, with information drawn from SIOPS, IBGE, and IPEADATA. Fixed- and random-effects models were tested, with corrections for heteroskedasticity, ensuring statistical robustness of the inferences. The results demonstrate that factors such as population aging, age structure, GDP, and GDP per capita exert significant impacts on health spending, highlighting the interdependence between demographic dynamics and fiscal capacity. The analysis further confirms that population composition and economic development are structural determinants of financing, with implications that go beyond accounting aspects and directly affect equity and the effectiveness of public policies. It is concluded that the sustainability of SUS depends on overcoming federative asymmetries and building institutional arrangements capable of reconciling efficiency, equity, and social justice. 2026-02-27T00:00:00Z
