Here it is intended to demonstrate the political dimension of the action (taken, jointly, by political and biomedical entities) to make health practitioners "forbidden" to practice AHT. The interdiction of the AHT is treated here as an event permeated by three dimensions of social life, namely, economic, scientific and political. The central focus is concentrated on the latter two. The thesis I present here is that the change in the scientific parameters of medicine was influenced by the discovery of penicillin. I develop this thesis from some hypotheses, namely: 1) "Medical-scientific" agents (or biomedical ones, figured in the Federal Medical Council) are carrying out a political action in suggesting the "ban" to the AHT – based on alleged lack of scientificity – since no research is used, Required by them, attesting to any risk of using the therapy; 2) The interdictive act is the result of an "institutional thought"; 3) The prohibition of AHT is based on the change in the criteria of scientificity and the reduction of "medical authority" in the production of health knowledge for pharmacological knowledge. / Esta tese intenciona apresentar os conhecimentos alcançados a partir de pesquisa referente ao processo que leva à interdição imputada a uma “técnica” de saúde denominada auto-hemoterapia (AHT). Aqui se pretende demonstrar a dimensão política da ação (tomada, em conjunto, por entes políticos e biomédicos) de tornar “interdita” a profissionais de saúde a prática da AHT. A interdição à AHT é aqui tratada como um acontecimento perpassado por três dimensões da vida social, a saber: a econômica, a científica e a política. O enfoque central é concentrado nas duas últimas. A tese que apresento aqui, é a de que a mudança nos parâmetros de cientificidade na medicina foi influenciada pela descoberta da penicilina. Desenvolvo esta tese a partir de algumas hipóteses, a saber: 1) Os agentes “médicos-cientistas” (ou biomédicos, figurados no Conselho Federal de Medicina) estão realizando uma ação política ao sugerirem a “interdição” à AHT – baseados em alegada falta de cientificidade –, pois não são usadas pesquisas, nos moldes exigidos por eles, que atestem qualquer risco de utilização da terapia; 2) O ato interditivo é resultado de um “pensamento institucional”; 3) A interdição à AHT se baseia na mudança nos critérios de cientificidade e na diminuição da “autoridade médica” na produção de conhecimentos em saúde para os saberes farmacológicos.

In this thesis, we study the role of interdiction in the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), which naturally arises in humanitarian logistics and military applications. We assume that in a general network, each arc has a chance to be interdicted. When interdiction happens, the vehicle traveling on this arc is lost or blocked and thus unable to continue the trip. We model the occurrence of interdiction as a given probability and consider the multi-period expected delivery. Our objective is to minimize the total travel cost or to maximize the demand fulfillment, depending on the supply quantity. This problem is called the Vehicle Routing Problem with Interdiction (VRPI). We first prove that the proposed VRPI problems are NP-hard. Then we show some key analytical properties pertaining to the optimal solutions of these problems. Most importantly, we examine Dror and Trudeau's property applied to our problem setting. Finally, we present efficient heuristic algorithms to solve these problems and show the effectiveness through numerical studies. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

The effectiveness of the Jail-Based Public Inebriate Treatment and Intervention Program, in the city of Roanoke, VA, is evaluated. This program targets those who have violated their interdiction status, ordered by the Circuit Court, to not consume, possess or purchase beverages containing alcohol. A voluntary treatment program has been set up to treat those interdicted housed within the jail. This treatment program hopes to rehabilitate the offender, decrease the number of arrests within the City of Roanoke and improve the attractiveness of the downtown area. The typical participant in this program is a 51-year-old homeless male who has been drinking for approximately 33 years. Methods of evaluation include the analysis of arrest data collected from January 1996 to June of 2000, as well as interviews conducted in local day shelters, within the jail, with a court community corrections representative, in the court house, at the Blue Ridge Community Treatment Center and with a representative of the downtown business community. The goals of the program are evaluated for their effectiveness. Some goals are found to be more effective than others and Richard Hall’ s Contradiction Model is used to explain this variation. / Master of Science

The United States Border Patrol (USBP) is responsible for interdicting unauthorized entry into the U.S. The USBP must decide how to allocate its detection and interdiction assets to maximize the probability of catching illegal aliens along the border. We study the case where an infiltrator can observe USBP preparations, and then choose a path into the U.S. We define the infiltrator's courses of actions to maximize the probability of escape, and then express the USPB's courses of actions to minimize that maximum achievable probability of escape. This case applies especially well to a signal entry, e.g. a well-planned, one-time smuggling of a weapon of mass destruction. We solve a sample problem for the U.S. Mexican border near Yuma, Arizona.

Within days of a major failed strike by attack helicopters during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) analysts were questioning the value of such platforms on the modern battlefield. As OIF moved from combat to stability operations, helicopter losses from enemy action actually increased seemingly strengthening the argument of those who see the helicopter as unsuitable to some combat operations. Attack helicopter operations have diverged into two distinct categories, interdiction and close air support (CAS), since their inception. This thesis argues that attack helicopters are most suited to perform CAS while their employment in interdiction is problematic at best. Doctrine, tactics, and threat are studied as they applied in the Soviet-Afghan War, Desert Storm, and OIF in order to examine the issue across a range of time and types of warfare.

Orientador: Romualdo Dias / Resumo: Este trabalho discute a formação de jovens e as suas relações com a cidade, a partir de encontros promovidos pela juventude em espaços públicos, em especial na cidade de Rio Claro/SP. Também promoveremos o diálogo destas experiências com outras semelhantes em diversas cidades do Estado de São Paulo que ficaram conhecidas como ‘rolezinhos’. A análise elaborada vêm do confronto dos dados recolhidos durante a presença do pesquisador com jovens em alguns territórios e acontecimentos e os discursos construídos sobre eles por outros atores sociais como a mídia, governos, instituições e autoridades, registrados em fontes documentais. A pesquisa busca traçar uma cartografia das forças que operaram na tentativa de controle do uso do espaço público e dos fluxos na cidade e a relação disso com os processos de subjetivação que, nesse caso, passam a ser marcados pela interdição do movimento do encontro com o outro, algo que chamamos de colonização do espaço do ‘entre’. / Abstract: This text discusses a youth formation and its relations with the city, from meetings promoted by youth in public spaces, especially in the city of Rio Claro/SP. We will also promote the dialogue of these experiences with other similar ones in several cities of the State of São Paulo that became known as 'rolezinhos'. The elaborated analysis comes from the comparison of the data collected during the researcher's presence with the youth in some territories and events and the speeches built on them by other social actors such as the media, governments, institutions and authorities, recorded in documentary sources. The research seeks to draw a map of the forces that operated in the attempt to control the use of public space and flows in the city and the relation of this to the processes of subjectivation that, in this case, are marked by the interdiction of the movement of the encounter with the Another, something we call the colonization of the space between. / Mestre

Esta pesquisa investiga os sentidos, valores e discursos circulantes que emergem nas páginas da imprensa em torno da categoria \"politicamente correto\", observando suas relações com a liberdade de expressão e formas de controle da produção discursiva. A partir de matérias da Folha de S. Paulo, no período de 1991 a 2014, pesquisamos as transformações do politicamente correto no Brasil e as regulações por ele estabelecidas. Embasamo-nos, nesse percurso, nas proposições de Michel Foucault sobre a arqueologia dos discursos, de modo que as matérias jornalísticas devem ser tomadas como acontecimentos discursivos, isto é, como vestígios materiais que servem de base à \"escavação\" de plataformas culturais, saberes e regras sócio-históricas que condicionam a emergência de enunciados e discursos. Nossos resultados apontam para a emergência do politicamente correto como categoria em disputa no debate público, inserida em um contexto de reposicionamentos dos saberes sobre liberdade de expressão, e para o papel decisivo do jornalismo na introdução dessa expressão nas discussões que se travam na esfera pública brasileira. O posicionamento assumido pelo jornalismo remete a um imaginário discursivo sobre a democracia, o que também tem seu papel na consolidação da legitimidade e do lugar de fala da imprensa. De modo correlato, a discussão pública sobre o politicamente correto no Brasil mostra-se profundamente polarizada. Por fim, a emergência da categoria \"politicamente correto\" como forma de denominar processos de regulação sobre a linguagem reflete - e também determina - a centralidade e a visibilidade adquiridas por esse fenômeno em nossa cultura: centralidade da linguagem, de modo amplo, como mediadora das relações sociais; centralidade do individual na condução de ações políticas; centralidade do paradigma de circulação de ideias - e, por conseguinte, visibilidade das formas de controle da expressão, entendidas cada vez mais como intoleráveis. / This research investigates the senses, values and circulating discourses that emerge in the pages of the press around the category \"political correctness\". Our goal is to understand the relationship between such category, freedom of expression and forms of control of discursive production. From journalistic texts published by Folha de S. Paulo, in the period from 1991 to 2014, we researched the transformation of political correctness in Brazil and the regulations laid down by it. In this journey, we base ourselves on Michel Foucault\'s propositions on the archeology of speeches; so that the newspaper articles should be taken as discursive events, as material evidence underpinning the excavation of cultural platforms, knowledge and socio-historical rules that constrain the emergence of statements and speeches. Our results show the emergence of political correctness as a category in dispute in the public debate, set on a repositioning context of knowledge on freedom of expression, as well as the decisive role of journalism in the introduction of the expression \"political correctness\" in the discussions which take place in Brazilian public sphere. The position assumed by journalism refers to an imaginary discourse on democracy, which also plays a role in the consolidation of legitimacy and place of speech of the press. At the same time, the public discussion of political correctness in Brazil shows up deeply polarized. Finally, the emergence of the category \"political correctness \" as a way of giving a name to processes of language regulation reflects - and also determines - the centrality and visibility acquired by this phenomenon in our culture: the centrality of language, broadly, mediating social relationships; centrality of the individual in the conduct of policy actions; centrality of the circulation of ideas - and therefore visibility of control strategies of expression, increasingly understood as intolerable.
