International Relations and Women’s Studies

The field of gender studies has been growing in importance since the 1980s in the area of international relations. Proof of this are the creation of the Women Caucus at ISA (International Studies Association) and the International Feminist Journal of Politics, which is now one of the most cited in the area of IR Studies. The importance of the study of women’s participation in international politics in peace operations, democratization processes and the improvement of international institutions with greater gender equality is greatly appreciated. The course brings an important approach to postgraduate students in the field of international relations who aim to study and better understand the role of women in politics in order to create and foment debate inside and outside the institute. The topics of study in the area and methodological approaches required for research in Security, Regimes and Institutions will be deeply explored. The participation of Professor Emeritus Jane S. Jaquette is of great importance, given her proven experience in the field and great success of publications and research, which will bring more knowledge to the faculty and our students about the field of gender within the area of international relations. The course aims to contemplate the debate about gender studies and international relations and women’s political participation. In the context of international relations studies, it is essential to note the role of women in peace processes, democratization processes and in international organizations. The theoretical conceptual aspects of the area will be presented in this course, along with methodological practices known in the area, as well as recent studies in the field of gender and international relations. It is expected that at the end of the course, students will have: (1) developed an understanding of the main theories on feminism and international relations; (2) familiarized themselves with the main contemporary debates on the subject and (3) have acquired analytical capacity to understand the role of women in international politics.

Statistical Process Monitoring

With the growth of the globalization and new opening markets, the concern of the companies to monitor the quality of the products and/or services has increased as quality becomes a decisive factor to guarantee its permanence in the market. Consequently, companies are increasingly driven to invest in the management and technologies to intensify their market competitiveness and provide an increase in the quality and cost /benefit of your products and/or services. In this scenario, statistical methods, mainly the control charts, have become an indispensable tool when they are used to monitor the quality of products and/or services. Control charts was proposed by Walter Shewhart at 30s and traditionally they have been used to monitor production process but recently been employed to monitor other types of process like service, surveillance of diseases. The control charts can be classified in different manners. They may be according to the number of quality characteristics as univariate control chart when there is a single quality characteristic of interest or multivariate control chart when more than one quality characteristic is monitored. Or according to the nature of quality characteristic we have attribute control chart (when the nature is qualitative) and variable control chart (when involves measurement). Or if the monitored statistic takes into account the previous observations (as the CUSUM type control chart or EWMA type control chart) or not (only the current observation, called Shewhart type control chart). Motivated by the increase of the number of the contributions on this subject and the relevance of this tool in the monitoring of industrial process, the new control charts and improvement in the existed ones have been continuously proposed by many researchers. The aim of this course is to present the main types of control charts and how design them adequately in order to meet desirable performance metrics. The aim of this course is to present the main tools used to monitor statistically a process. Engineering School (EP) São Paulo main campus Development of statistical concepts and theory underlying procedures used in quality control applications: error of type I and II; run length; average run length. Process improvement strategies, univariate control charts for process monitoring: Shewhart type control chart, Cumulative sum type control chart, EWMA type control chart, adaptative type control chart, multivariate process monitoring, profile monitoring, health-related surveillance, Markov chains: steady state, zero state, the use of basic time series models.

Body in Perspective in Collective Health

The subject of the body is classic in the Human and Social Sciences with contributions from different disciplinary fields such as Anthropology, History and Sociology. In the country, the development of this area of __research and the consequent theoretical-conceptual consolidation gained momentum starting in the 1950s. Collective Health, as a field of knowledge and practices, has fostered the constitution of a growing and rich dialogue between the Health and humanities. In this sense, we present the proposal of a discipline on the body proposing the articulation of the disciplinary contributions of Anthropology, History and Sociology in the conformation of the thematic, at the same time, biological and cultural, related to the own social construction of the person and its relevance in the Processes conformed in the care, in the therapeutic practices, in the aesthetic interventions, in the suffering and the pain in face of the processes of illness and in the perception of the body in face of normative processes. The discipline has a theoretical and applied character, allowing to study the articulations of the subject under the referential of the disciplinary fields marked with its applications in the recent researches in the field of health, in addition to enabling, even if still basic, in the critical and reasoned reading of the Productions in the field of health that make use of the mentioned references. 1. Discuss the relationships between body, health, illness and care understood in their symbolic, social and historically constructed dimension; 2. Placing the studies on the body in the field of Human and Social Sciences, starting with the classic nature and culture dichotomy and inserting the contemporary critical debate of this tradition; 3. Contextualize the question of body and identity in the consumer society; 4. Present the concept of stigma and discuss its main repercussions in terms of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion for individuals and populations; 5. Present and discuss definitions about body, forms of care and curative or aesthetic interventions and their main repercussions in health studies; 6. Place the studies on sexuality and reproduction from the perspective of normative / therapeutic perspective on the subject, highlighting the contribution of gender studies in the understanding of the phenomenon that appears as a reference of articulation of the individual and the social, the subjective And the goal; 7. Analyze the relation body and work in contemporary society and its main repercussions in terms of needs of the productive system, training to the time of production, construction of subjectivities, illness and care.
