Previous issue date: 2016-07-04 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / Um passaporte é um documento pessoal de identidade que protege legalmente seu portador no exterior e permite sua entrada e circulação em países com os quais seu país de origem mantém relações. Os problemas de imigração ilegal, terrorismo, tráfico de drogas e outros têm feito com que os países se preocupem em controlar do modo mais eficaz possível a entrada e saída de pessoas estrangeiras. Dessa forma, alguns países estão desenvolvendo técnicas para confirmar com precisão se o portador do documento é seu legítimo detentor. Diante da forte relação entre Brasil e França, estudar a terminologia dos passaportes e elaborar um glossário dos termos nele encontrados é de grande importância social, visto que pode colaborar para uma melhor comunicação entre autoridades alfandegárias e também contribui intensamente para o trabalho dos tradutores juramentados ao se depararem com passaportes ou até outros documentos da área jurídica. Nosso projeto se insere em um projeto maior, o Lextraju - O léxico para a tradução juramentada, coordenado pela Profa. Dra. Lidia Almeida Barros na Unesp de São José do Rio Preto. Cada membro do Lextraju trabalha com um tipo de documento, visando no futuro, à criação de um dicionário jurídico. / A passport is a personal identity document that legally protects its owner abroad and allows its entry and circulation in countries with which their country has relations. The problems of illegal immigration, terrorism, drug trafficking and others have done that countries worry about controlling the most effective way the entry and exit of foreigners. Therefore, some countries are developing techniques to confirm if the document holder is the legitimate holder. Given the strong relationship between Brazil and France, studying the terminology of passports and elaborating a glossary of terms found in it, it is a great social importance, since it can contribute to a better communication between customs authorities and also strongly contributes to sworn translators work, when they face with passports or other documents of legal area. Our project makes part of a larger project, Lextraju – O Léxico para a tradução juramentada, coordinated by Profa . Dra . Lidia Almeida Barros, at Unesp in São José do Rio Preto. Each member of Lextraju works with a different document, aiming in the future, the creation of a legal dictionary.

Passport Power – Citizenship by Investment Programmes Exploiting Spatiotemporal Hierarchies of PassportsFreisleben, Irvina Udyakisya January 2019 (has links)
The practice of selling passports through Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programmes is gaining more attraction and legitimacy in light of increasingly stricter immigration policies. Instead of simply weighing the pro and contra points of CBI, this thesis aims to understand CBI as a consequence of neoliberalism and analyses the correlation between so called ‘passport power’ and wealth, whereby the former is determined by rankings and the latter is represented in terms of the gross domestic product (GDP). Hence, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is used to firstly, examine the strength of correlation, and secondly, supported by Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, discuss how CBI is understood and debated in the context of today’s governed communities. The CBI arises out of a discursive struggle between citizenship and class, and exacerbates preexisting global inequalities. Furthermore, it challenges the normative foundations of citizenship and its connection to the nation state. On the one hand CBI contests the sedimented discourse of the modern passport system (and by extension the notions of citizenship), on the other hand capitalist negative individualism corrupts/distorts the initially egalitarian, utopian vision of what it means to be a citizen of the world.

Sharing the past effectively : an evaluation of excavations in the Passport In Time programDickson, Catherine E. 19 June 1997 (has links)
The United States Forest Service's Passport In Time program is designed to
involve the public in archaeology on National Forest land. Three of the program's goals
are: 1) allow archaeologists to conduct research they would not otherwise have the time
or the budget to conduct; 2) teach the public about history and prehistory, as well as how
and why archaeologists study them; and 3) create a constituency of advocates for
archaeology. This study evaluates these three goals based on interviews with volunteers
who worked on excavation projects and archaeologists who led excavation projects.
Research is not a priority for archaeologists leading excavation projects. PIT
accomplishes the latter goals by physically involving volunteers in archaeological work.
The volunteers become a labor force as well as students for the archaeologists. The
archaeologists teach the volunteers effectively through a combination of experiential and
more traditional classroom techniques. The volunteers gain an understanding of what
archaeological resources are and why they are important. They take this knowledge away
with them and share it with their friends and family. This increased knowledge in the
public achieves the goals of federal legislation to reduce damage to archaeological
resources through public education. PIT could greatly enhance the effect of volunteer
enthusiasm by providing them with other appropriate outlets for their energy. / Graduation date: 1998

Optimal decisions in finance : passport options and the bonus problemPenaud, Antony January 2000 (has links)
The object of this thesis is the study of some new financial models. The common feature is that they all involve optimal decisions. Some of the decisions take the form of a control and we enter the theory of stochastic optimal control and of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. Other decisions are "binary" and we deal with the theory of optimal stopping and free boundary problems. Throughout the thesis we will prefer a heuristic and intuitive approach to a too technical one which could hide the underlying ideas. In the first part we introduce the reader to option pricing, HJB equations and free boundary problems, and we review briefly the use of these mathematical tools in finance. The second part of the thesis deals with passport options. The pricing of these exotic options involves stochastic optimal control and free boundary problems. Finally, in the last part we study the end-of-the-year bonus for traders: how to optimally reward a trader?

Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Equations in Option PricingPooley, David January 2003 (has links)
This thesis explores numerical methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in option pricing problems. The goal is to develop or identify robust and efficient techniques that converge to the financially relevant solution for both one and two factor problems. To illustrate the underlying concepts, two nonlinear models are examined in detail: uncertain volatility and passport options.
For any nonlinear model, implicit timestepping techniques lead to a set of discrete nonlinear equations which must be solved at each timestep. Several iterative methods for solving these equations are tested. In the cases of uncertain volatility and passport options, it is shown that the frozen coefficient method outperforms two different Newton-type methods. Further, it is proven that the frozen coefficient method is guaranteed to converge for a wide class of one factor problems.
A major issue when solving nonlinear PDEs is the possibility of multiple solutions. In a financial context, convergence to the viscosity solution is desired. Conditions under which the one factor uncertain volatility equations are guaranteed to converge to the viscosity solution are derived. Unfortunately, the techniques used do not apply to passport options, primarily because a positive coefficient discretization is shown to not always be achievable.
For both uncertain volatility and passport options, much work has already been done for one factor problems. In this thesis, extensions are made for two factor problems. The importance of treating derivative estimates consistently between the discretization and an optimization procedure is discussed.
For option pricing problems in general, non-smooth data can cause convergence difficulties for classical timestepping techniques. In particular, quadratic convergence may not be achieved. Techniques for restoring quadratic convergence for linear problems are examined. Via numerical examples, these techniques are also shown to improve the stability of the nonlinear uncertain volatility and passport option problems.
Finally, two applications are briefly explored. The first application involves static hedging to reduce the bid-ask spread implied by uncertain volatility pricing. While static hedging has been carried out previously for one factor models, examples for two factor models are provided. The second application uses passport option theory to examine trader compensation strategies. By changing the payoff, it is shown how the expected distribution of trading account balances can be modified to reflect trader or bank preferences.

The Effect of a Summer School Literacy Program on the Reading Attitudes of Elementary School Struggling ReadersFradley, Katie 27 November 2007 (has links)
This mixed-method study explored and examined the reading attitudes of thirdgrade struggling readers (n=91) following six weeks of summer school using a scripted literacy program (Voyager Passport). During the quantitative portion of the study students (n=91) from five different summer school sites were given the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (McKenna & Kear, 1990). The survey, which was administered by the classroom teacher the first day of summer school and the last week of summer school, provided scores for academic, recreational and total reading attitude. Following data collection the results of the ERAS surveys were analyzed using a dependent measures t-test as well as descriptive statistics.
Results revealed no significant differences in recreational or total reading attitude following summer school using a scripted literacy program. Gender and school site were both examined using a multivariate analysis. Results indicated no statistically significant differences based on gender. However, when academic attitude was examined the results for school site were found to be significant F (4, 90) = 2.87, p = .03. A follow-up Tukey test revealed that although there was a difference in academic attitudes between the school sites, the variation could not be pinpointed to particular sites.
The qualitative portion of the study relied on both field notes gathered through classroom observations (n=113) and focus groups. One focus group was held at each of the five summer school sites. During focus groups a group moderator asked the students a series of six questions. Results were analyzed using semantic content analysis (Stewart & Shamdasani, 1990) to identify themes related to students' attitudes about reading. After a cross case analysis of the targeted classrooms was conducted, triangulation was used to compare the findings from the ERAS survey, classroom observations, and focus groups. The qualitative findings revealed that following summer school students liked to read, felt they were better readers, and felt prepared to take the standardized test. However, only 29% of the students passed the alternative assessment. The results also revealed questions regarding the fidelity of the implementation and concerns with the lack of norming data on the fidelity measure.
