Abstract: This research analyzes the social representations and collective memories of elderly individuals regarding climate change and its impacts on quality of life in the Pontal region of the Triângulo Mineiro. It is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study based on semi-structured interviews conducted in the first half of 2026 with six elderly patients from a hemodialysis center. The theoretical-methodological framework integrated Maurice Halbwachs' concepts of memory, the Theory of Social Representations, and a decolonial perspective. Content analysis revealed that local transformations—caused by sugarcane expansion, deforestation of the Cerrado, river sedimentation, and burning—are empirically perceived by the subjects through their bodies, daily lives, and respiratory health issues. A subjective dilemma also emerged regarding the tension between ecological damage and dependence on regional economic progress. The study concludes that bringing these marginalized life stories to light exposes the inadequacy of protective public policies and underscores the urgent need for inclusive socio-environmental reparation strategies.

Using a semi-structured questionnaire with 34 questions, data was collected from medical records by DPMG interns, from 15 cases treated from March/2020 to March/2021. The variables that were identified in the research were: responsible for children in processes of loss of family power; age group; Education; Color self-declaration; type of residence, social program in which it is attended; neighborhood of residence; income of these families. The research identifies that those responsible are users of psychoactive substances and this factor is the most common among the cases researched. The majority accept treatment, and are referred to OSC Amor Exigente. Children or adolescents who suffered the loss of family power were provisionally referred to the Welcoming Family program and others were placed in the Extended Family, in the majority of cases having a history of physical violence.

The main objective of the research was to analyze how work influences university dropout and understand whether this is a major driver of student dropout, considering the need for capital gains to support themselves. The methodology used for this work was exploratory, based on qualitative and bibliographic research. The results indicate that work does influence university dropout, and that extensive work hours ultimately make students feel unwell. Furthermore, the right to education that every citizen should have, along with the importance of knowledge and critical thinking, was discussed. Furthermore, the alienation caused by the need for capital in society ultimately leads individuals to seek and engage in work to earn an income, ultimately neglecting their studies due to the long hours of work. Thus, it was concluded that understanding these factors is extremely important for formulating policies that support and influence students' continued studies and that demonstrate the importance of the search for knowledge for the individual.
