AbstractIn May 2016, an Argentine federal court concluded a momentous trial, convicting 15 defendants of illegal kidnappings and torture committed against over 100 victims of Operation Condor, and ofasociación ilícita(‘illicit association’: conspiracy to commit a criminal offence) to perpetrate these violations. Operation Condor was the codename given to a continent-wide covert operation devised in the 1970s by South American regimes to eliminate hundreds of left-wing activists across the region. The Operation Condor verdict of 2016 broke new ground in human rights and transitional justice, for its innovative focus on transnational crimes and for holding state agents accountable for extraterritorial human rights violations. By analysing this pioneering case, the article brings the question of cross-border crimes into academic debate. As borders become more porous, scholars and practitioners can no longer afford to side-line the topic of accountability for transnational crimes.

Full textAbstract:
During 1975-1989 a transnational state-terror operation was carried out by several South American states called Operation Condor. Declassified documents show that the U.S. government assisted the operation with communication and intelligence techniques. This case-study is with a theory consuming method aiming to analyze the internal decision process within the U.S. government to assist Condor. The analysis is based on two theoretical frameworks by Allison Graham, the “Rational Actor” and “Governmental Politics”. By studying the cold war doctrine, the objectives of the U.S. and the political actors behind the assessment the aim is to understand the structures that shaped the final decision. The conclusion shows that the Cold War, political crises and power relations between politicians played a major role in the internal decision process.

Full textAbstract:
I explore the changing use of political violence by the new Latin American military regimes, specifically post-1976 Argentina with comparative analysis towards Augusto Pinochet’s Chile, as well as by those who protested military authoritarianism during the Dirty War and Operation Condor. These military dictatorships adopted aggressive anti-communist ideologies and displayed them through internal, covert violence. In this study, I adopt definitions of the 'spectacle of violence' and the 'spectacle of absence' that seek to explore the politics of diplomacy behind violent acts that have informed the processes of staging, or hiding, both the methods and outcome of inflicted violence. Geopolitics of the post-human rights legislation era and the Argentine military’s perception of a failed judicial system fostered the institutionalization of a new violent performance, the spectacle of absence, in opposition to the guerrillas' application of the public spectacle of violence. My analysis of violent spectacles within Argentina and their reception at home and abroad displays the various meanings transmitted and received through the medium of political violence as performance.

This thesis explores the Junta de Coordinación Revolucionaria (JCR) and its impact on the outbreak of political violence in the Southern Cone. Given the JCR's short existence and the barbarity of Operation Condor, most scholars have overlooked this organization or treated as convenient excuse for the military regimes to justify their heinous crimes. This article attempts to transcend the one-dimensional view that has predominated studies on the JCR by exploring its revolutionary project and contextualizing it within the international and domestic context in which it developed. Through the analysis of archival material and secondary sources I argue that the JCR represented a historic union for the region's armed left that merits greater recognition by scholars of Latin America's Cold War.

Previous issue date: 2013-05-06This work is linked to the line of research on "International Relations", of the Post-Graduate strictly in Law, International Relations and Development at the Pontifical Catholic Univeridade of Goiás and analyzes the possible contradictions between National Law and the International Direinto issues involving human rights, especially the question of internalization of norms of international law to adjudicate crimes committed during the military dictatorship. We started from the hypothesis that the Brazilian Federal Constitution greets, from the Constitutional Amendment 45 of 2004, which added § 3 of Art. 5th treaties and conventions that deal with the status of Human Rights Constitutional Amendment, through which the rules should be interpreted as a higher-ranking international front alluded to the internal laws infra. Operation Condor, international relations between countries of the Southern Cone during the Military Dictatorship, serves as the object for the development of this study about International Law and Comparative Law regarding the apparent divergence of opinion as to the legislative process and court between the Southern Cone countries on issues relating to international relations and conventions on Human Rights. Currently, Brazil is the only country in Latin America that have not punished the perpetrators of the military dictatorship because of constitutional legislation (Amnesty Law No. 6.683/79) which is in obvious conflict with international standards and the trend of the constitutionalization fundamental rights and guarantees of the human person, especially with regard to art. 5, § 3 of the CF/88. Unlike their neighbors, former partners of the organization of terror, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile and Peru, Brazil has not yet manifested itself in view of the recommendations of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to prosecute and punish those responsible for crimes committed during the dictatorship Military, unlike the Brazilian Supreme Court, in ADPF No. 153, as manifested by not revocability of Law 6.683/79 front ace Human Rights Conventions to which Brazil is a signatory. From this divergence of understandings between the Brazilian Supreme Court and Court of Human Rights, sought to present possible solutions to the antinomy material between the Brazilian National Law and International Law, focusing on the possibility of punishment for crimes committed during the Military Dictatorship forward to Operation Condor.
Este trabalho vincula-se à linha de pesquisa sobre Relações Internacionais , do Programa de Pós-Graduação stricto sensu em Direito, Relações Internacionais e Desenvolvimento da Pontifícia Univeridade Católica do Estado de Goiás e analisa as possíveis antinomias entre Direito Interno e Direinto Internacional nas questões que envolvem Direitos Humanos, sobretudo à questão da internalização das normas de Direito Internacional para processar e julgar os crimes cometidos no período da Ditadura Militar. Parte-se da hipótese de que a Constituição Federal brasileira recepciona, a partir da Emenda Constitucional 45 de 2004, que acrescentou o §3º ao art. 5º aos tratados e convenções que versem sobre Direitos Humanos o status de Emenda Constitucional, através do qual devem ser interpretadas as normas internacionais aludidas como hierarquicamente superiores frente às leis internas infraconstitucionais. A Operação Condor, símbolo das relações internacionais entre os países do Cone Sul durante o período da Ditadura Militar, serve de objeto para o desenvolvimento do presente estudo acerca de Direito Internacional e Direito Comparado quanto às evidentes divergências de entendimento quanto ao processo legislativo e jurisdicional entre os países do Cone Sul diante de questões ligadas às relações internacionais e às convenções de Direitos Humanos. Atualmente, o Brasil é o único país da America Latina que ainda não puniu os algozes da Ditadura Militar em razão de legislação infraconstitucional (Lei de Anistia nº 6.683/79) a qual se encontra em evidente conflito com as normas internacionais e a tendência da constitucionalização dos direitos e garantias fundamentais da pessoa humana, especialmente no que se refere ao art. 5º, § 3º da CF/88. Ao contrário dos seus vizinhos, antigos parceiros da organização do terror, Argentina, Paraguai, Uruguai, Chile e Peru, o Brasil ainda não se manifestou atendendo às recomendações da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos para processar e punir os responsáveis pelos crimes cometidos durante a Ditadura Militar, ao contrário, a Corte Suprema brasileira, na ADPF nº 153, já se manifestou pela não revogabilidade da Lei 6.683/79 frente ás Convenções de Direitos Humanos em que o Brasil é signatário. A partir dessa divergência de entendimentos entre a Corte Suprema brasileira e a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, buscou-se apresentar possíveis soluções para a antinomia material entre o Direito Interno brasileiro e o Direito Internacional, com enfoque na possibilidade de punição dos crimes cometidos durante o período da Ditadura Militar frente à Operação Condor.

Para tanto, está dividida em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo analisa o contexto do Cone Sul latino-americano nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, quando da implantação das ditaduras civil-militares de Segurança Nacional, bem como o início da conexão repressiva a partir do golpe de Estado no Brasil. A oficialização da Operação Condor, em 1975, qualificaria e redimensionaria essa experiência de colaboração regional, realidade até então, país a país. Ainda nesse primeiro momento, identificamos e avaliamos as principais características do operativo bem como a atuação do Uruguai e do Brasil dentro desse marco. O segundo capítulo aborda especificamente o sequestro dos uruguaios em Porto Alegre, desde a sua planificação no Uruguai até a sua execução na capital gaúcha. Para tanto, analisa a tentativa de organizar uma relativa resistência uruguaia, no Rio Grande do Sul, no final dos anos 1970, seus vínculos com a oposição brasileira e, consequentemente, a atuação repressiva conjunta do DOPS/RS e da Compañia de Contrainformaciones Estas estruturas repressivas foram o rosto do TDE regional contra Lilián, Universindo, Camilo e Francesca. Ainda no capítulo 2, apontamos e dissecamos as denominadas farsas diversionistas criadas para confundir a opinião pública, manipular a informação e inviabilizar a investigação e a responsabilização dos agentes e autoridades envolvidos no sequestro. Finalmente, o terceiro capítulo analisa os desdobramentos do sequestro em Porto Alegre e destaca o protagonismo crucial da imprensa, da OAB-RS, da Assembleia Legislativa e do MJDH, gerando um clima inédito, até então, de ofensiva de setores democráticos junto à opinião pública e contra as políticas repressivas de silêncio ou tergiversação das ditaduras envolvidas. O capítulo abrange, finalmente, o momento da responsabilização do Estado brasileiro ante um crime de lesa-humanidade.This dissertation has for objective to analyze the factors that determined the historical peculiarity of the kidnapping of Uruguayans, in November 1978, in Porto Alegre city in mark of repressive connection between Brazil and Uruguay under coverage of Operation Condor.

O período que compreende o regime militar brasileiro foi marcado pela apropriação e aplicação de uma nova concepção estratégica de segurança baseada na Doutrina de Segurança Nacional (DSN). Os conceitos de “fronteira ideológica”, “inimigo interno” e a própria flexibilização do termo “comunismo” conduziram os governos autoritários do Brasil e do Cone Sul a um alinhamento ideológico e à cooperação na área de segurança que se materializaram, entre outras formas, na constituição de uma comunidade de informações. No Brasil, as atividades de busca, coleta e produção de informações em âmbito interno estiveram sob o controle do Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) e, externamente, a cargo do Centro de Informações do Exterior (CIEx), o qual teve significativa importância na consolidação e difusão da perspectiva anticomunista no continente sul-americano. Sua existência e seu vínculo com o Ministério das Relações Exteriores suscitam questionamentos sobre a participação deste em atividades realizadas durante o regime autoritário, ainda que sempre tenha buscado manter uma imagem de neutralidade quanto às questões de política interna, e indica um possível envolvimento diplomático na Operação Condor. As informações reveladas pelos documentos oficiais recém-abertos e as raras e divergentes opiniões de pesquisadores sobre a participação do Itamaraty no regime militar são fontes de análise desta pesquisa, cujo objetivo é compreender o funcionamento do CIEx durante o regime militar brasileiro, tendo em vista três formas de atuação que o mesmo empreendeu ao longo de sua existência. A análise consiste na comparação entre a dinâmica de desenvolvimento do sistema nacional de Inteligência nas principais potências mundiais e nos países do Cone Sul, especialmente o Brasil, onde a criação de um órgão como o CIEx refletiu a “reexternalização” do conflito ideológico.
The appropriation and application of a new strategic concept of security based on the National Security Doctrine (NDS) have marked the Brazilian military regime’s period. The concepts of "ideological borders", "internal enemy" and the flexibility given to the term "communism" led the Brazil and Southern Cone’s authoritarian governments to an ideological alignment and cooperation in the area of security, which has turned into a Constitution of a community of information. In Brazil, the National Information Service (NIS) was in the control of collecting the activities reports collection and producing of information in the internal scope, whereas the External Information Center (EIC) played an important role in the consolidation and dissemination of anti-Communist perspective on the South American continent. Its existence and its link with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) raise questions about the participation of this Ministry in activities held during the authoritarian regime, although it has always sought to maintain an image of neutrality on the issues of domestic politics, and indicate a possible diplomatic involvement in Operation Condor. The information revealed by the newly opened official documents and the rare and divergent opinions of researchers on the participation of the MFA in the military regime are sources of analysis of this research, whose goal is to understand the functioning of EIC during the Brazilian military regime, take into consideration three forms of action that it has taken over its existence. This analysis compares the dynamics of development of the national intelligence system in major world powers and the Southern Cone countries’, especially Brazil, where the creation of a mechanism like EIC reflected the "reexternalization" of ideological conflict.

Full textAbstract:
A internacionalização do terror no Cone Sul, durante as décadas de 70 e 80, consistiu na integração dos esforços de um grupo de países para combater um ―inimigo‖ comum: o comunismo. Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Chile, Paraguai e Uruguai – com apoio dos Estados Unidos – associaram suas forças militares e serviços secretos para desenvolver um plano de combate internacional contra a ―subversão comunista‖: a denominada Operação Condor. Através dela internacionalizou-se o terrorismo de Estado instaurado nesses países, disseminando a insegurança, a violência e o desrespeito aos direitos humanos em toda a região sul-americana, dando origem a uma verdadeira ―multinacional do terror‖. O Plano Condor visou evitar que a atuação das organizações guerrilheiras existentes nesses países pudesse levar a uma revolução semelhante à ocorrida em Cuba. A Argentina foi um importante ator dessa rede internacional de terror. Perseguiu, reprimiu e colaborou, de forma sistemática e com requintes de violência, na perseguição e no aniquilamento dos opositores do regime ditatorial argentino, bem como dos países vizinhos. Com o golpe de Estado de março de 1976, instalou-se na Argentina a ditadura civil-militar, denominada Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, banalizando o terrorismo do Estado e gerando um clima de insegurança e medo em toda a sociedade argentina. Nesta fase instaurou-se uma política estatal que cometeu diversos crimes de lesa humanidade, no marco do genocídio para alguns, ou do politicídio de vários militantes de movimentos de oposição, tornando-se esta a tática mais utilizada para combater as ideias ―subversivas‖. Milhares de cidadãos abandonaram o país tomando o rumo do exílio para salvar suas vidas, a de seus familiares e para seguir combatendo, desde o exterior, os usurpadores da liberdade na Argentina e lutando pela volta da democracia ao país.The internationalization of terror in the Southern Cone, between the 70‘s and the 80‘s, was the integration of efforts of a group of countries to combat a ―common enemy‖: the communism. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay – with support from the United States – connected its military forces and secret services to develop a plan to combat internationally the ―communist subversion‖: the named Operation Condor. It internationalized the State terrorism introduced in those countries, spreading insecurity, violence and disrespecting human rights in the entire South American region, giving rise to a genuine ―multinational of terror‖. The Operation Condor aimed to avoid that those guerrillas organizations, active in its countries, could lead to a revolution similar to which occurred in Cuba. Argentina was an important actor from that international network of terror. It persecuted, repressed and collaborated systematically and with refinements of violence in the harassment and the annihilation of enemies of the Argentinean dictatorial regime, such as from its neighbouring countries. With the coup d‟état of March of 1976 in Argentina it was installed the civil-military dictatorship named Proceso de Reorganización Nacional that trivialized State terrorism and generated an atmosphere of insecurity and fear for the Argentine society as whole. This stage introduced a State policy that committed several crimes against humanity, within the framework of genocide for some, or of the politicide of several militants of the opposition movements, making it the most widely used tactic to combat the ―subversive‖ ideas. Thousands of citizenships abandoned this country taking the road of exile to save their own lives, as well as their families‘ and to keep fighting against, from abroad, the usurpers of freedom in Argentina and struggling for the return of democracy to the country.

El Operativo Cóndor estuvo destinado a evitar que las acciones de organizaciones guerrilleras existentes en esos países pudieran llevar a una revolución semejante a la que ocurrió en Cuba.

Full textAbstract:
Essa tese pretende demonstrar as conexões repressivas estabelecidas entre as ditaduras brasileira e uruguaia, por meio da colaboração entre os seus órgãos de informação, desde 1973, ano do golpe de Estado no Uruguai, até 1985, ano em que ambos os regimes se encerraram. Considerada de vital importância na concepção da Doutrina de Segurança Nacional, a informação, bem como sua produção, controle e difusão, adquiriu caráter ímpar nas ditaduras que se instalaram no Cone Sul nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, pois era percebida como instrumento de controle social. Nas premissas dessa doutrina, a violência, antes de ser repressiva, era preventiva, e os órgãos de informação das ditaduras desempenharam papel fundamental nessa execução. As ditaduras brasileira e uruguaia modificaram órgãos de informação e segurança já existentes, bem como criaram novos organismos que se adequassem à realidade das novas conjunturas. No Brasil, esse sistema ficou conhecido como “comunidade de informações”; já no Uruguai, eram denominados “serviços de inteligência”. Tinham por função a busca e coleta de informação, utilizando-se de diversos métodos sistemáticos, tais como suspeição, infiltração, interrogatório e tortura, levando à promoção do terrorismo de Estado nessas ditaduras. Para o desenvolvimento da presente tese, foram analisados vários documentos produzidos pelo complexo do sistema de informações das ditaduras brasileira e uruguaia. Um conjunto documental de grande relevância para essa pesquisa refere-se aos órgãos de inteligência e espionagem vinculados aos Ministérios das Relações Exteriores do Brasil e do Uruguai, assim como de suas embaixadas e consulados. A preocupação da ditadura brasileira com os brasileiros que estivessem fora do território nacional era tamanha que no ano de 1966 o ex-embaixador no Uruguai criou o Centro de Informações do Exterior, baseado na sua experiência de monitoramento aos exilados ali presentes. Somou-se a esse órgão a Divisão de Segurança e Informações do Ministério das Relações Exteriores, rearranjada em 1967, presente em todos os ministérios civis. No Uruguai, cabia principalmente ao Departamento II (Exterior) do Servicio de Información de Defensa a espionagem dos uruguaios que estivessem fora do país. A colaboração entre esses órgãos de informação, inteligência e espionagem das ditaduras brasileira e uruguaia foi abundante, e alguns casos foram analisados na presente tese. As conexões repressivas também operaram por outros caminhos. Destaca-se a preocupação que ambas as ditaduras possuíam em relação aos exilados, sendo que num primeiro momento o Uruguai converteu-se no santuário do asilo político para os brasileiros; num segundo momento, a dinâmica inverteu, e foram os uruguaios que passaram a buscar refúgio político no Brasil. Esses movimentos foram acompanhados de perto pelos dois governos. Nessa conexão, releva-se o papel do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, fronteira entre Brasil e Uruguai. Na Doutrina de Segurança Nacional, as fronteiras territoriais cederam espaço às “fronteiras ideológicas”, ou seja, na luta contra o “comunismo internacional” as fronteiras se desfariam. Nesse sentido, ressalta-se a montagem e a orquestração da chamada Operação Condor, realizando ações conjuntas entre os países do Cone Sul, inclusive entre Brasil e o Uruguai, como foi o caso que ficou conhecido como “sequestro dos uruguaios” e a suspeita, até hoje não eliminada, da morte do ex-presidente João Goulart.This thesis aims to demonstrate the repressive connections established between the Brazilian and Uruguayan dictatorships, through collaboration among their information organs, from 1973, the year of the coup d'état in Uruguay, until 1985, the year in which both regimes ended. Considered of vital importance in the conception of the National Security Doctrine, information, as well as its production, control, and diffusion, acquired a unique character in the dictatorships that settled in the South Cone in the decades of 1960 and 1970 since it was perceived as an instrument of social control. Within the premises of this doctrine, violence, before being repressive, was preventive, and the informational organs of dictatorships played a fundamental role in this execution. The Brazilian and Uruguayan dictatorships modified existing information and security organs, as well as created new organizations to fit the reality of these new conjunctures. In Brazil, this system became known as an "information community"; already in Uruguay, it was called "intelligence services." Their function was to search for and collect information, using a variety of systematic methods, such as suspicion, infiltration, interrogation, and torture, leading to the promotion of State terrorism in these dictatorships. For the development of this thesis, several documents produced by the information system complex of the Brazilian and Uruguayan dictatorships were analyzed. Documents of great relevance for this research refers to the intelligence and espionage organs linked to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Brazil and Uruguay, as well as their embassies and consulates. The concern of the Brazilian dictatorship with the Brazilians who were outside the national territory was such that in 1966 the former ambassador in Uruguay created the Foreign Information Center based on his experience of monitoring the exiles. It was joined by the Security and Information Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, rearranged in 1967, present in all civilian ministries. In Uruguay, it was primarily for Department II (Exterior) of the Defense Information Service to spy on Uruguayans who were out of the country. The collaboration between these organs of information, intelligence and espionage of the Brazilian and Uruguayan dictatorships was abundant, and some of those cases were analyzed in the present thesis. The repressive connections also operated in other ways. The concern that both dictatorships had about the exiles was emphasized. In a first moment, Uruguay became the sanctuary of the political asylum for the Brazilians; in a second moment, the dynamics reversed, and it was the Uruguayans who began to seek political refuge in Brazil. These movements were closely monitored by both governments. In this connection, the role of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the border between Brazil and Uruguay stands out. In the National Security Doctrine, territorial boundaries gave way to "ideological frontiers," i.e., in the fight against "international communism" the borders would be misplaced. In this sense, the assembly and orchestration of the so-called Condor Operation is highlighted, carrying out joint actions between the countries of the Southern Cone, including between Brazil and Uruguay, as was the case known as "kidnapping of Uruguayans" and the suspicion, until today, not eliminated, of the death of former president João Goulart.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Advanced techniques of evaluating cumulative material damage for power plant components operating in the creep range can enhance life management strategies, especially as power plants transition to more flexible operations. Power piping creep damage is strongly sensitive to the operating temperatures, operating pressures, and applied stresses. Several empirical examples reveal large ranges of operating temperatures and pressures throughout the operating years of power piping systems. Multiple examples reveal that the operating conditions may be significantly different over the years. Time and pressure histories for main steam (MS) and hot reheat (HRH) piping systems are provided to illustrate these operational changes, including mean and median annual and monthly plant information data. Operating temperature and pressure histograms can reveal single modal and bi-modal plant operations. Examples of mean, median, and upper 95% confidence operating temperature and pressure values are included in this study. There may be some instances of operating above design temperatures and design pressures for short periods of time. Advanced evaluations have revealed that some above design temperature events have occurred with low operating pressures, so coincident operating pressure and operating temperature evaluations are also discussed to determine more accurate estimates of cumulative creep damage. Accelerated creep-fatigue damage can occur from high-temperature ramp rates obtained from the detailed temperature profiles. Evaluation of the applicable applied stresses in piping system weldments should consider the simulation as-found stresses, redistributed through-wall axial and circumferential stresses, weld residual stresses, and redistributed multiaxial stresses. The hot and cold piping system walkdowns should compare the actual piping displacements to the predicted design displacements. Piping walkdown evaluations should identify and evaluate the observed significant field anomalies. Several empirical examples illustrate that the simulation as-found stress analysis (considering adverse field conditions) can result in piping stresses significantly different than those predicted in the as-designed piping stress analysis. In the past, the selection of weldment reexamination intervals has been based on standard industry practice. Advanced predictive analytic evaluations can be used to provide a technical justification for continued plant operation until critical components are reexamined. This study provides several examples of using the actual operating temperatures, operating pressures, field stresses, and cumulative operating hours to estimate the cumulative creep/fatigue damage at critical system components. Assuming future piping system operations the same as in the past, remaining useful lives (RULs) for the critical system components can be estimated. The piping system RUL contour isometric illustrates the most critical girth weldment creep damage rankings (these are the lead-the-fleet nondestructive examination (NDE) locations). If there are no significant fabrication defects in the other weldments (which can be confirmed by a one-time examination), the evaluation can be used to justify that many of the remaining weldments do not have to be examined for more than a decade if future operation is the same as in the past.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper presents a digitized Technical Limits Weight Control (TLWC) tool for integrity management of existing fixed offshore structures. The tool is currently integrated into PETRONAS's Structural Integrity Compliance System (SICS), which is a web-based application for Structural Integrity Management (SIM) of fixed offshore structures. The main capability of the TLWC tool is to allow a user (engineer/ manager) to determine the fitness for purpose of an offshore facility quickly and efficiently for the inclusion of additional topsides loading at various locations on the platform decks. The tool makes use of global ultimate strength analyses results which considers the acceptance criteria for each operating region in Malaysian Waters. The limits of these criteria are used to create contour boundaries, which depending on Centre of Gravity (CoG) shifts due to topsides loading patterns. The tool can provide a high-level check on platform suitability for such increase in loading to cater for further development or operational needs. This quick check enables decision making at early engineering stage without the use of further elaborate and costly analyses. The contour plot shown in the results indicates the limiting acceptable Reserved Strength Ratio (RSR) for that platform. The TLWC decision-making tool is ideal for practicing offshore structural integrity engineers in operations to make a quick decision with regards to addition of topside loading for platforms with marginal reserved strength. Detailed assessment is required to address potential local member overstress for the topside structural members.

Abstract A method to extract the machining region from 3D CAD model in STL (Standard Triangulated Language) format and automatically generate tool path is proposed. At first, this study proposes a method to extract the machining region and obtain the geometrical feature such as convex shape or concave shape from only the 3D CAD model in STL format. The STL format has only triangular mesh data and drops all the information which is necessary to extract the removal volume for machining and the geometrical characteristics. Furthermore, the triangular mesh size is non-uniform. Then, the contour line model, in which the product model is minutely divided on the plane along any one axial direction and represented by points at intervals below the indicated resolution obtained from the contour line of the cross section of the product, is proposed. Subsequently, this study proposes a method to determine the machining conditions for each extracted machining region and automatically generate tool path according to the obtained geometrical feature of the machining region.

Full textAbstract:
In order to simulate the bottom trawl fishery in Ise Bay, a typical semi-enclosed bay in Japan, a fishery simulator has been developed that consists of a fish behavioral model and a fishing operations model. The fish behavioral models are developed for two major target species, conger eel and mantis shrimp, which consider the fish migration as well as the growth and the population change. The fish behavioral models are combined with a fishing operation model, which predicts the behavior of trawling boats based on economic conditions and resource distribution as well as the fish catch amount by each boat. The model is applied to evaluate the effects of fishery management, and it is investigated that how the control of fishing efforts or number of owned fishing boats affects the profit of the target fishery. The mesh size of the trawling net which maximizes the total catch is estimated considering both conger eel and mantis shrimp. At the target ports, reduction of boats number will increase the profit because the effect of fixed cost change exceeds the impact of fish catch decrease. However, the optimum reduction rate is different in each port and interactive effect should be also considered.

The specialized literature does not confer a consensual definition of the quality in the pharmaceutical procedures. Nevertheless, most definitions imply the satisfaction of eth customers’ needs. The customers of the pharmaceutical procedures are the patients and also the professional persons from the domain of health that prescribe, issue and administrate medicines. The pharmacist is a professional person who is in direct contact with the patient, being the first professional person to whom the patients address when the affection is a mild one and they need counselling regarding the medication or diagnostic. The more complex the medication of the patient is, the more probable the side effects shall be. The morbidity and mortality may be consequences at the error of medication. The appearance of some medicines increases directly proportional to the errors of prescribing the medication. The quality in using the medication implies the choice of the medicine, the optimization of the compliance of the patient with the treatment, avoiding side effects, assuring the therapeutical objectives. The possibilities of appearing the errors being numerous, it is easy to understand why the assurance and improvement of the quality of the pharmaceutical procedures are important aspects for pharmacists and patients. The present paper has as purpose the qualitative improvement of the pharmaceutical procedures by the help of the pharmacist, thus the pharmacy becoming a supplier of pharmaceutical care of the best quality

Full textAbstract:
As part of the development CAD for design rule checks (DRC), it is necessary to use logical operations on orthogonal polygons that form the layout of an integrated circuit. Such operations as union, intersection, subtraction are performed over layers that contain orthogonal polygons. These operations are subject to stringent execution time requirements. The traditional representation of polygons in the form of bitmaps does not provide a quasi-linear dependence of time on the processed data size and requires development of new algorithms and polygon representation approaches. This paper contains a description of a modified sweeping line obscuring algorithm that achieves O(N log N) time. The algorithm uses three properties of the polygon: the separation of inner region from outer region by the edge, the belonging of edges to the set of either vertical or horizontal edges, and dissection of the layer plane into rectangular fragments which belong to either inner or outer region of the polygon. Procedures of input polygon contour representations that are dissected into sets of vertical and horizontal edges are described. As a result of performing logical operations, polygon edges of the resulting layer are formed. These edges, in turn, are converted into contour representations. The results of a computational experiment confirming the nature of the time dependences determined theoretically are presented. We propose the structure of a software system for DRC, built with the use of programming languages C++ and Lua.

Full textAbstract:
Platelet aggregation kinetics, according to the particle collision theory, generally assumed to apply, ought to conform to a second order type of rate law. But published data on the time-course of ADP-induced single platelet recruitment into aggregates were found not to do so and to lead to abnormal second order rate constants much larger than even their theoretical upper bounds. The data were, instead, found to fit a first order type of rate law rather well with rate constants in the range of 0.04 - 0.27 s-1. These results were confirmed in our laboratory employing gelfiltered calf platelets. Thus a mechanism much more complex than hithertofore recognized, is operative. The following kinetic scheme was formulated on the basis of information gleaned from the literature.where P is the nonaggregable, discoid platelet, A the agonist, P* an aggregable platelet form with membranous protrusions, and P** another aggregable platelet form with pseudopods. Taking into account the relative magnitudes of the k*s and assuming aggregation to be driven by hydrophobic interaction between complementary surfaces of P* and P** species, a rate equation was derived for aggregation. The kinetic scheme and the rate equation could account for the apparent first order rate law and other empirical observations in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
CONTEXT: Social Licence to Operate (SLO) encompasses the broad socio-political understanding on the part of multiple stakeholders that a mining operation’s social and environmental impacts and measures are legitimate and acceptable. The multiple and variously interacting stakeholder groups— local communities, environmental actors, Indigenous communities, regulators, local governments, industry peak bodies, financiers, affiliated businesses—have the proven capacity to confer and/or disrupt a mining operation’s SLO. The presence or absence of a SLO can have significant consequences not only for stakeholder groups, including the mining operation, but also for the shared development of a good mining future. Conceptualisation of what is ‘good mining’ is central to future planning and decisions around development, adoption and reception of new technologies and sustainable mining futures. CHECKLIST PURPOSE This first of its kind tool seeks to facilitate genuine multistakeholder interactions and development of a dynamic shared SLO to advance good mining.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid growth in population and related demand for travel during the past few decades has had a catalytic effect on traffic congestion, air quality, and safety in many urban areas. Transportation managers and planners have planned for new facilities to cater to the needs of users of alternative modes of transportation (e.g., public transportation, walking, and bicycling) over the next decade. However, there are no widely accepted methods, nor there is enough evidence to justify whether such plans are instrumental in improving mobility of the transportation system. Therefore, this project researches the operational performance of urban roads with heterogeneous traffic conditions to improve the mobility and reliability of people and goods. A 4-mile stretch of the Blue Line light rail transit (LRT) extension, which connects Old Concord Rd and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s main campus on N Tryon St in Charlotte, North Carolina, was considered for travel time reliability analysis. The influence of crosswalks, sidewalks, trails, greenways, on-street bicycle lanes, bus/LRT routes and stops/stations, and street network characteristics on travel time reliability were comprehensively considered from a multimodal perspective. Likewise, a 2.5-mile-long section of the Blue Line LRT extension, which connects University City Blvd and Mallard Creek Church Rd on N Tryon St in Charlotte, North Carolina, was considered for simulation-based operational analysis. Vissim traffic simulation software was used to compute and compare delay, queue length, and maximum queue length at nine intersections to evaluate the influence of vehicles, LRT, pedestrians, and bicyclists, individually and/or combined. The statistical significance of variations in travel time reliability were particularly less in the case of links on N Tryon St with the Blue Line LRT extension. However, a decrease in travel time reliability on some links was observed on the parallel route (I-85) and cross-streets. While a decrease in vehicle delay on northbound and southbound approaches of N Tryon St was observed in most cases after the LRT is in operation, the cross-streets of N Tryon St incurred a relatively higher increase in delay after the LRT is in operation. The current pedestrian and bicycling activity levels seemed insignificant to have an influence on vehicle delay at intersections. The methodological approaches from this research can be used to assess the performance of a transportation facility and identify remedial solutions from a multimodal perspective.

In contexts of protracted violent conflict, school environments play a key role in children’s psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing. Research by the REALISE education project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) provides a better understanding of how violent conflict penetrates schools; the relationship between school staff, students, parents, and the local community; and the role of children’s social entourage. It identifies key considerations for education projects operating in these contexts and how they can best support the wellbeing of children, including those who are extremely isolated or experience marginalisation on the basis of gender or minority status.

Using men as community-based distributors of condoms. Population Council, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2002.1017.
Full textAbstract:
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has led program managers to seek approaches to family planning (FP) that will also help combat HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These approaches include use of simplified STI diagnosis and treatment protocols and promotion of male and female condoms. One aspect of condom promotion that is receiving increased attention is the idea of adding men to community-based distribution (CBD) programs. The male latex condom is the only contraceptive method that, when used correctly and consistently, provides protection against STIs, including HIV/AIDS. Currently, an estimated 6 to 9 billion male condoms are used worldwide annually. However, experts estimate that 24 billion male condoms should be used annually to provide adequate protection against STIs and HIV/AIDS. CBD programs are important sources of temporary FP methods in many countries, but most programs distribute far fewer condoms than oral contraceptives. One reason may be that most CBD agents are women, and gender differences between distributors and potential clients may limit the sale of condoms. This program brief reviews evidence from operations research and other studies in 13 countries about the effectiveness of men as CBD workers.

Full textAbstract:
During the past decade, a significant increase in reported cases of HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe prompted the government, local organizations, and international donors to intensify prevention efforts. As part of this response, in November 1996 Zimbabwe’s National AIDS Coordinating Programme invited Population Services International to launch a social marketing program to promote the female condom, making this protective device widely available for the first time in Africa. After an acceptability study showed that Zimbabwean men and women liked using the female condom, leaders of these organizations encouraged public discussion and media attention, which helped pave the way to approval and introduction of the device. This brief presents the findings of a case study conducted by Grace Osewe and sponsored by the Population Council’s HIV/AIDS operations research Horizons Project. The study reviewed the social and political factors that led to government approval and commercial introduction of the female condom in Zimbabwe.

In April 2003, the Horizons Program sponsored a one-day technical meeting to develop and set priorities for an operations research agenda to study effective behavior change strategies for HIV risk reduction, particularly those that focus on the “ABC” behaviors: abstinence or delaying sex, being faithful or partner reduction, and condom use. Representatives from more than 20 organizations and programs involved in prevention research and programming discussed epidemiological, behavioral, psychosocial, and structural factors that may help determine the effectiveness of promoting the ABCs and other prevention programs. During the meeting, specific opportunities for collaborations and areas of particular interest for each group were discussed, with the goal of permitting each organization to focus on its strengths while working together toward similar outcomes. As noted in this report, the Horizons partnership plans to pursue some of the key operations research questions that were identified by the technical experts.
