Abstract (sommario):

This document charts my development as an artist over the last five years on the Professional Doctorate in Fine Art at the University of East London. It begins with a reflection on the work done on B.A and M.A. in Fine Art, at Middlesex University and the University of East London respectively. The origin of my work lies in traumatic and painful life experiences that at the time of their occurrence almost effectively ended my practice. In hindsight it is clear that these experiences have provided the continuing motivation for my research and art practice, as well as its content. The report presents in chronological order of my engagement with theories of the mechanisms of societal power and control, and describes the assimilation of these ideas into my developing visual projects. The report begins with the autobiographical background to my practice, followed by the Creative Practice and Theory section which contextualizes the different strands of my research, and concludes with my Professional Practice which outlines the artistic activities I embarked on during the five years of the doctorate programme.

Abstract (sommario):

In the past, the power of news dissemination was under a few people's control, like newspapers' editors and TV channels. Thanks to social networks, this power is in the hand of everyone now. Social networks became very popular as soon as they were launched, and many societies extensively welcomed them. They have provided an engaging environment so that people can share their moments with their relatives, friends, colleagues, and even their unseen friends (so-called virtual friends) as their `followers.' In this virtual world, people can also share their opinions with their followers by broadcasting a message. Diffusing information and news among the followers will affect them and slightly change their opinions. When a follower is influenced, she may shares/retweets/forwards the message to her own followers and cause more propagation. There are many shreds of evidence that a message shared by few people (even in some cases one person) has been watched by millions of users and went viral. Hence, social media is an inseparable part of our life that can provide many opportunities, e.g., teaching, entertainment, news, and give us the power of sharing our experiences. Researchers have shown that many people prefer to get news from social networks rather than related websites as they are speedy tool to provide news from everywhere. Therefore, social media is considered one of the most effective tools to manipulate the users' opinions, and it is an attractive means of election control for political campaigns/parties/candidates. As a real example, in the 2016 US presidential election, it has been shown that 92% of Americans saw and remembered pro-Trump fake news stories, 23% remembered pro-Clinton false news, and a very high portion of them believed the news. Moreover, the campaigns can use social influence in order to polarize the users such that a voter receives specific messages in support/oppose of a candidate/party and not all possible messages. These activities impair the integrity of the elections and our democracies because people should have access to all reliable news from different perspectives to make a fair judgment. In this thesis, we investigate the computational aspects of this problem and study different manipulators' strategies to understand how they work. Our goal is to prevent malicious activities as they have enough potential to cause drastic consequences for any society. We study different aspects of controlling elections utilizing social influence. First, we consider a multi-winner election control where some parties are running for an election, and more than one candidate will be selected as winners. There is a social network of voters and an attacker trying to bribe some users/voters to start a diffusion process and spread a message among them; her goal is to change the voters' opinion regarding a target party. In the constructive model, the attacker tries to maximize the number of winners in the target party, while in the destructive case, she wants to minimize it. In this model, we present some hardness results, approximation guarantee, and polynomial-time algorithms regarding different structures (e.g., graphs, trees, and arborescent), objective functions, diffusion models (e.g., linear threshold and independent cascade models), and different configurations of influencing voters. Second, we investigate a single-winner election control problem where the attacker does not know the exact voters' preference list; instead, she has/guesses a probability distribution over all candidates for each voter. In this case, we show that the problem is at least as hard to approximate as the Densest-k-subgraph problem, which is hard to approximate for some constant under the exponential time hypothesis. Then we consider a lightly relaxed version and present some hardness and constant factor approximation algorithms for some objective functions regarding both constructive and destructive models. We also examine some real-world social networks and experimentally show that our algorithm works well. Finally, we present a Stackelberg game variation for competitive election control where there are two players called attacker and defender. They have a budget and the number of their seed nodes should not exceed their budget. The attacker plays first and selects a set of seed nodes to start a diffusion and change the voters' opinion. She knows that the defender is aware of everything and plays afterward. When the attacker's diffusion process is finished, the defender selects her seed nodes to cancel the attacker's influence over the infected voters. Indeed, the attacker tries to maximize the number of infected voters after both diffusion processes, while the defender attempts to minimize it. For simplicity, we first investigate the influence maximization model of this problem and then extend it to the election control through social influence for a single-winner election control problem regarding plurality scoring rule under the independent cascade model. We show that the attacker's problem is $Sigma_2^p$-hard when the defender is able to find an optimal strategy. We also show the same hardness result regarding any approximation algorithm. Moreover, we show that the defender's problem is NP-hard to approximate within any factor $alpha geq 1$. Since the problems are inapproximable, we consider a relaxed version in which the defender selects her seed nodes based on a probability distribution over the nodes, and the attacker is aware of the distribution. In the relaxed model, we give a constant-factor approximation algorithm for the attacker's problem. We also simulate our results and show that the attacker can activate many voters even when the defender can find the optimal solution. Moreover, we show that the greedy influence maximization algorithm works very well for the defender.

Abstract (sommario):

Este trabalho analisa – sob a forma de um estudo de caso de natureza exploratória – o problema da relação entre a função controladoria e o controle social. Na administração pública, a controladoria é a função responsável pela interface com a população, e a obrigatoriedade de garantir transparência e accountability pressiona a produção de informações confiáveis e tempestivas da parte dos gestores públicos. A escolha da Rede Observatório Social do Brasil (OSB) para um estudo de caso se justifica por ser esta uma organização dedicada a monitorar as administrações públicas municipais, utilizando sistematicamente informações divulgadas em portais de transparência. A rede OSB está presente em mais de uma centena de municípios localizados em dezenove estados brasileiros. O estudo de caso buscou avaliar as dimensões em que o exercício das atividades desempenhadas pelos Observatórios Sociais pode ter correspondência com funções típicas das controladorias. Primeiramente, fez-se uma revisão da literatura, para desmembrar a atividade de controladoria num conjunto de funções típicas do setor público. Os fatores críticos da eficiência, eficácia e efetividade do controle social foram resgatados das pesquisas de diagnóstico do Orçamento Participativo (OP), a ferramenta de participação com a mais longa trajetória no âmbito da gestão municipal. Em seguida, partiu-se para a identificação, por meio de entrevistas e levantamento, daquelas funções que, da perspectiva de atores selecionados da Rede OSB, corroboram o controle social. Os resultados apontam que todas as funções típicas de controladoria são relevantes para o controle social com maior destaque para aquelas relacionadas aos controles prévio e concomitante, dado o carácter preventivo da atuação da Rede OSB. Tal constatação serve de alerta e demonstra necessidade de revisão do retrato observado nos órgãos de controle interno pesquisados, os quais concentram sua atuação nas atividades de controle subsequente.
This paper analyzes - in the form of an exploratory case study - the problem of the relationship between the controllership function and social control. In government administration, controllership is the function responsible for the interface with the population, and the obligation to guarantee transparency and accountability pressure the production of reliable and timely information on the part of government managers. We have selected the Rede Observatório Social do Brasil (OSB) for this case study because it is an organization dedicated to monitoring municipal public administrations, systematically using information disclosed in transparency portals. The OSB network is present in more than one hundred cities located in nineteen Brazilian states. The case study sought to evaluate the dimensions in which the exercise of the activities developed by the Observatórios Sociais can correspond to typical functions of the controllers. First, a review of the literature was carried out to dismantle the control activity in a set of functions typical of the government sector. The critical factors of the efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of social control were rescued from the research about Orçamento Participativo (OP), the tool of participation with the longest trajectory in the scope of municipal management. Then, it was possible to identify, through interviews and survey, those functions that, from the perspective of selected actors of the OSB Network, corroborate the social control. The results show that al typical controllership’s functions are relevant for social control, with emphasis on those related to the previous and concomitant controls, given the preventive nature of the OSB network. This observation can be understood as an alert and demonstrates the need to review the picture observed in the internal control institutions surveyed, which focus their activities on subsequent control activities.

Abstract (sommario):

Social networks started as a place to comfortably connect with your friends. With them, we can communicate our thoughts and opinions over different topics and reach a large portion of users, even those who are not on your friend’s list. This has led to making social networks a crucial part of many of us, providing for example information, entertainment, and learning. Many users prefer to access social networks, like Facebook or Twitter, to have access to news as they provide faster means for information diffusion. However, as a consequence, online social networks are also exploited as a tool to alter users’ opinions, especially during political campaigns. A real-life example is the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal when it was revealed that the company had harvested personal data from Facebook users and used it for political advertising purposes. The idea was to target users with specific messages, which were meant to alter or reinforce user opinions. This is a concern for the health of our democracies which rely on having access to information providing diverse viewpoints. The aim of this work is to address the research issue of designing strategies to understand and overcome these processes that may have drastic consequences in our society. We first consider the scenario in which a set of candidates are running for the elections and a social network of voters will decide the winner. Some attackers could be interested in changing the outcome of the elections by targeting a subset of voters with advertisement and/or (possibly fake) news. In this scenario we present two possible models that, exploiting influence in social networks, manipulate a voting process in order to make a target candidate win or lose the elections. We start by defining a model in which the preference list of each voter is known and give a constant factor approximation algorithm that can be used in arbitrary scoring rule voting systems, e.g., Plurality rule or Borda count. However, this assumption is not always satisfied in a realistic scenario as voters can be undecided on their preferences or they may not reveal them to the manipulator. Thus, we extend this model to design a scenario in which the manipulator can only guess a probability distribution over the candidates for each voter, instead of a deterministic preference list. Interestingly, while the problem can be approximated within a constant factor in the case of full knowledge, we show that, with partial information, the election control problem is hard to approximate within any constant factor through a reduction from Densest-k-subgraph problem, under some computational complexity hypothesis. However, we are able to show that a small relaxation of the model allows us to give a constant factor approximation algorithm. One of the possible ways to prevent election control for the integrity of voting processes is to reduce social biases and give to the users the possibility to be exposed to multiple sources with diverse perspectives and balancing users opinions by exposing them to challenging ideas. In this perspective we first investigate the problem from a computational point of view and generalize the work introduced by Garimella et al. [1] of balancing information exposure in a social network. In this setting we obtain strong approximation hardness results, however, we mitigate these hardness results by designing an algorithm with an approximation factor of Ω (n −1/2). Finally, we address the same issue of reducing the bias in social networks by proposing a link recommendation algorithm that evaluates the links to suggest according to their increment in social influence. We formulate the link recommendation task as an optimization problem that asks to suggest a fixed number of new connections to a subset of users with the aim of maximizing the network portion that is reached by their generated content. Thus, enhancing the possibility to spread their opinions.

Abstract (sommario):

Psychosocial problems are psychological problems that are regarded as resulting from the interaction between the adaptive capacities of individuals and the demands of their physical and social environments. Many different factors have been theoretically proposed, and empirically established, as predictors of a range of psychosocial problems in adolescents. However, a problem exists in that this literature appears to lack an integrative framework that has validity across the range of problems that are observed. The purpose of the current research is to propose and test a model that draws together three clusters of factors that are useful in predicting the incidence of adolescent psychosocial problems. These are family structural background factors, family functioning variables and control beliefs. Data were collected from 155 adolescent males aged between 12 and 19 by a single concurrent and retrospective self-report questionnaire. This included data about the respondent (age, involvements with mental health or juvenile justice agencies) and family structural background factors (days per week worked by mother/father, occupational status for mother/father, residential mobility, number of persons in the family home). The questionnaire also incorporated the Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker, Tupling & Brown, 1979) to quantify the levels of perceived parental care and overprotection, and an adaptation of the Parental Discipline Style Scale (Shaw & Scott, 1991), to assess punitive, love withdrawing and inductive discipline practices. In addition, the (Low) Self-control Scale (Grasmick, Tittle, Bursick & Arneklev, 1993) and the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale (Craig, Franklin, & Andrews, 1984) were used to collect data concerning adolescents perceived behavioural self-control and locus of control. Finally, selected sub-scales of the Child Behavior Checklist Youth Self-Report (Achenbach, 1991b) were used to collect data on the incidence of social withdrawal, somatisation, anxiety and depression, aggression and delinquency among the respondents, and in aggregated form, the incidence of total problems and internalising and externalising behaviours. Results indicated family structural background factors, family functioning variables and control beliefs possess limited predicted validity and that the usefulness of the proposed model varies between specific psychosocial problems. Family functioning variables were generally stronger predictors than family structural background factors, particularly for internalising behaviours. Of these, levels of parental care and overprotection were generally the strongest predictors. Perceived self-control and locus of control were also generally strong predictors, but were particularly powerful with respect to externalising behaviours. The strength of predictive relationships was observed to vary between specific internalising and externalising behaviours, suggesting that individual difference variables not assessed in the current research were differentially influential. Finally, the parental and individual characteristics that predicted maximal levels of adjustment (defined in terms of minimal levels of internalising and externalising behaviours) were explored and the correlates of various parenting style typologies (Parker et al., 1979) were investigated. These results strongly confirmed the importance of family functioning and control beliefs with respect to the prediction of internalising, externalising and well-adjusted behaviours. In all analyses, substantial proportions of the variance in the incidence of problem behaviours remain unexplained. The findings are examined in relation to previous research focused on (familial) social control and (individual) self-control with respect to psychosocial problems in adolescents. In addition, methodological considerations are discussed and the implications of the findings for clinical and community interventions to address problem behaviours, and for further study, are explored.

Abstract (sommario):

The intention of this dissertation is to better locate aspects of discourse on technology within the social sciences, especially the discipline of international political economy. To do this, I have focused on the idea of control, a concept which is applicable to both social organization and technological systems. In the first chapter I develop the concept of control and outline its relationship to existing modes of social analysis. I identify the specific politics of control and discuss the role of electronic information processing and communications technology in social change. In Chapter Two I place the origins of electronic control technology (telegraphy, telephony and radio) within the wider euro-centric but tendentially global liberalinternationalist order dominant during most of the nineteenth century. In Chapter Three I consider the development of electronic control technology, including institutional formation, within the context of US industro-militarist development from around the end of the nineteenth century to 1945. Chapter Four is concerned with a study of the rise to central importance of microelectronics-based control technology in a context of post-war US hegemony. In Chapter Five I examine the construction anew of transnational politico-economic control arrangements dominated by transnational corporations and growing financial market structures, and the role of globally capable telematic networks in this development. Finally, in the last chapter, I attempt to identify and analyse the key characteristics of the emergent new world order, which I describe as cyber-financial, and which I consider to be a synthesis of preceding social control structures. Aside from Chapter One, the procession of argument is roughly historical, covering around a century and a half, but with specific themes being dominant in each chapter. Methodologically, the dissertation is an attempt to further synthesize existing history and commentary in the light of manifest global change currently underway.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis offers an investigation into the social construction and social control of the asylum 'problem' in the UK. It explores how asylum came to be constructed as a key social problem, how this process of problematisation influenced the development of a range of social control strategies and how their imposition has shaped subsequent developments. Asylum has been associated with a range of contemporary social problems and has become an issue through which wider insecurities are articulated. This study is based upon qualitative research combining semi-structured interviews with a range of actors involved in various ways in the asylum debate, along with documentary analysis of materials integral to the construction of the issue. This involved the analysis of accounts and the types of discourses that have been used to promote particular knowledge claims regarding asylum seekers. The findings of this research show that the problematic status of asylum is not an inevitable consequence of large numbers of recorded applications for political asylum, as is often postulated. Rather, it is the result of a range of claims making activities and interventions from a diverse body of actors and institutions. Integral to these findings is that the social control responses implemented to provide solutions to the problem themselves further contribute to asylum being viewed problematically. As such, the findings of this research are situated within a wider body of academic literature, including social constructionism and social control. The analysis of this study builds upon such works to provide an insight into how it is that contemporary social problems are constructed and how this can be directly related to the specific conditions of late-modern societies.

Abstract (sommario):

The sex-specific effects of reproductives and of soldiers on the reproductivity (i.e., tendency to develop into replacement reproductives) of pseudergates of Zootermopsis nevadensis were studied. Reproductives inhibit reproductivity in pseudergates of their own sex only. Reproductives neither inhibit nor stimulate reproductivity in pseudergates of the opposite sex. Reproductives do not require the presence of a reproductive of the opposite sex to stimulate them to inhibit reproductivity in pseudergates. Soldiers had no effect on the reproductivity of pseudergates. The effects of group size and of the presence or absence of reproductives on the development of last-stage nymphs of Z. nevadensis were studied. The size of experimental groups had no effect on the rates of stationary molts or alate molts, suggesting that the correlation between colony size and the onset of alate production in nature may be spurious. The presence or absence of reproductives had no effect on the rate of stationary molts or alate molts, suggesting that in Z. nevadensis neither group size nor the presence of reproductives has any direct effect on alate determination. It is suggested that in Z. nevadensis a form of nutritional castration can delay the onset of alate development; that is to say, that the onset of alate development is determined by the ratio of nutrient-gathering castes to nutrient-receiving castes in the colony. I have found what I believe to be an extraordinary example of deception in Z. nevadensis and Zootermopsis angusticollis. This is the first reported example of caste mimicry in a social insect, and may explain why supernumerary replacement reproductives are common in Z. nevadensis and Z. angusticollis but not in Zootermopsis laticeps. The compositions of 41 field-collected colonies of Zootermopsis were given and the data were analyzed for trends. Most notably, supernumerary replacement reproductives were common in Z. nevadensis and in Z. angusticollis but have never been found in Z. laticeps, by us or by anybody else. These findings are in accordance with our hypothesis of "caste mimicry" in Z. nevadensis and Z. angusticollis.

O objetivo da presente pesquisa é investigar as possibilidades de atuação participativa dos Conselhos Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente enquanto meio influenciador na direção da construção do processo de democratização e participação da sociedade nas formulações das políticas públicas para o público infanto-juvenil, considerando os aspectos voltados à Concepção, Composição e Fins de tais Conselhos, aspectos estes que, analisados conjuntamente, caracterizam a Natureza dos mesmos, e podem ser decisivos na avaliação da efetividade de suas atuações. Ainda, buscou-se investigar a concepção que os Conselheiros Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente possuem dos referidos Conselhos e a efetividade do controle social exercido por tais Conselhos, em face da atuação de seus membros. A pesquisa foi realizada junto aos Conselhos Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente de Assis, Borá e Paraguaçu Paulista. Considerando os objetivos propostos e as características do objeto de estudo, optou-se pelo método quali-quantitativo, que permitiu a flexibilidade necessária para maior aprofundamento e detalhamento dos dados coligidos, tendo como fonte de dados a observação das reuniões dos Conselhos e a aplicação de questionários. O referencial teórico empregado foi a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Moscovici e para análise e interpretação dos dados utilizou-se a Análise de Conteúdo. De um modo geral, a pesquisa indicou que a atuação dos Conselheiros, e, por conseguinte, dos Conselhos, não exprimem o exercício da cidadania plena, quer individual quer coletiva

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose- This study aims to explore how management control systems are used to manage their corporate social responsibility strategies in organizations. This paper dives into how sustainability managers use existing controls in planning, executing, measuring, and reporting on their CSR. The challenges they face in implementing their CSR strategies with these control systems are also covered. Methodology- The research was conducted using a qualitative research approach and a multiple case study strategy. The multiple case study involved three companies within a CSR network in Sweden. Secondary data from sustainability reports, internal financial control (IFC) reports were used together with seven semi-structured interviews. Findings- Control systems monitor influence and steer the employee's behavior and actions towards achieving organizational goals. The thesis provides practical insights into how sustainability managers from the studied companies use management control systems. The findings indicate that companies use similar clusters of management controls in planning, executing, measuring and reporting on their corporate social responsibility. However, there are differences in how the same management controls are used. The author identified a different type of control which is mostly not included in discussing when discussing MCS.

Abstract (sommario):

A temática medular do presente trabalho versa sobre a aprendizagem social e a participação na gestão do saneamento básico. Mais especificamente, o foco da pesquisa está no âmbito das questões relativas aos métodos utilizados para provocar o engajamento dos atores e os mecanismos de controle social atualmente empregados na gestão do saneamento básico nos municípios de Iperó e Mairinque, no estado de São Paulo. A metodologia de pesquisa aplicada nesta tese é o estudo de caso, devido às vivências no projeto Metodologias para fortalecimento do controle social na gestão em saneamento, desenvolvido com recursos do Programa de Pesquisa em Saúde e Saneamento da Fundação Nacional da Saúde (FUNASA), em convênio com o Instituto de Energia e Ambiente da Universidade de São Paulo (IEE/USP). O objetivo principal é identificar os principais saberes proporcionados pela aplicação dos instrumentos participativos utilizados nos processos de instalação do controle social na discussão da gestão do saneamento básico nesses municípios. Para tanto, busca-se examinar a complexidade das relações entre meio ambiente e sociedade de risco globalizada, o cenário do saneamento no Brasil e na região das bacias hidrográficas dos rios Sorocaba e Médio Tietê, a gestão do saneamento nos municípios de Iperó e Mairinque e os conceitos de aprendizagem social neste âmbito. De acordo com os diálogos entre os atores do poder público e a sociedade civil, fica evidente a importância da participação e do controle social nos processos de gestão do saneamento básico. Em particular, o Município de Mairinque demonstra engajamento para convergir aos dispostos da Lei 11.455/2007 do controle social no saneamento, no sentido da construção e do aperfeiçoamento dos mecanismos que possibilitam o envolvimento da população junto aos processos de gestão do saneamento básico.
The core theme of this paper is the social learning process and participation in basic sanitation management. More specifically, the focus of the research is on the issues related to the methods used to provoke stakeholders engagement and the mechanisms of social control currently employed in the management of basic sanitation in the municipalities of Iperó and Mairinque, in the state of São Paulo. The research methodology applied in this thesis is the case study, due to experiences in the project \"Methodologies for strengthening social control in sanitation management\", developed with resources from the Health and Sanitation Research Program of the National Health Foundation (FUNASA), in partnership with the Institute of Energy and Environment of the University of São Paulo (IEE / USP). The main objective is to identify the major knowledge provided by the application of the participatory instruments used in the processes of installation of social control in the discussion of the management of basic sanitation in these municipalities. In order to do so, we seek to examine the complexity of the relationship between the environment and globalized risk society, the scenario of sanitation in Brazil and the region of the Sorocaba and Meio Tietê river basins, the management of sanitation in the municipalities of Iperó and Mairinque and the concepts of social learning in this field. According to the dialogues between the actors of public power and civil society, the importance of participation and social control in the processes of management of basic sanitation is evident. In particular, the Municipality of Mairinque demonstrates its commitment to converge to those, established by Law 11455/2007 of social control in sanitation, in the sense of building and perfecting the mechanisms that enable the population to be involved in basic sanitation management processes.

Abstract (sommario):

This study tests the validity of two theories of crime: economic choice (as manifest in the criminal career paradigm) and social control. The test of these two theories is primarily methodological, in that four types of crime data (official and longitudinal (Uniform Crime Reports), official and cross-sectional (Bail Decisionmaking Study), self-report and longitudinal (National Youth Survey), and self-report and cross-sectional (Seattle Youth Study)) and a variety of graphical and statistical techniques are used to compare findings on (1) the stability of the age distribution of crime, (2) the prevalence of offense specialization, and (3) the differences in the causes of participating in crime compared to the causes of frequency of criminal activity among those individuals committing crimes. The findings on the relation between age and crime show the general shape of the age-crime curve is stable across year of the data or curve, type of data, cohort, and age group. The tests for offense specialization reveal that offenders are versatile. An individual's current offense type is not predictable, with much accuracy, on the basis of prior offending. Again, the lack of offense specialization held across type of data, but age, race, and gender distinctions also failed to alter significantly the observed pattern of versatility. Findings on the causes of participation in crime and frequency of criminal activity among active offenders showed only trivial differences in the set of statistically significant predictors for each operationalization of crime and delinquency. Two distinct operationalizations of frequency also showed no substantial difference in the set of statistically significant predictors. Similar to the findings on age and crime, and offense specialization, the pattern of results for the participation and frequency analyses held across type of data. In sum, the results tended to support the predictions of social control theory over those of the economic choice-criminal career view of crime.

Abstract (sommario):

The two criminological theories that conflict most sharply in terms of their fundamental assumptions about human nature and social order are control theory and cultural deviance theory. This research tests two major hypotheses derived from these theories. The first is that norms regulating the use of "force and fraud" are universal, and the second is that deviant behavior is caused by parents' failure to adequately socialize their children. The first hypothesis is tested through an analysis of the sanctioning practices of 100 cultures, drawn from the Human Relations Area Files. The results indicate that norms regulating the use of force and fraud are universal, and that the circumstances under which such acts are not sanctioned are quite limited. Apparent exceptions occur mainly when the consequences of the acts for social order are less severe or nonexistent. These findings indicate that certain norms are universal, and this fact can provide insight into human nature. If all societies prohibit some of the same acts, then these acts must present a threat in all societies, and members of all societies must perceive them as such. This indicates that people naturally tend to engage in criminal acts, since it is implausible that all societies would teach people to engage in behavior that they then punish. In order to identify the causes of the failure to learn cultural norms, micro-level data from the National Survey of Children are analyzed. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990), delinquency is most likely to occur among children whose parents do not adequately care for them. The results show that parents with lower self-control are less attached to their children, they do not adequately supervise their children, and they are more likely to use punitive forms of punishment. In turn, their children are less attached to them, they are less likely to report feeling guilty after deviation, and they are more likely to engage in a wide range of deviant acts. In sum, the evidence shows that children's deviance is the result of inadequate child-rearing practices.

Wang, Yin. "The control of mimicry by social signals". Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2012. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12401/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

One remarkable feature of social interactions is spontaneous mimicry. People have a tendency to unconsciously imitate other’s behaviours. This mimicry increases liking and affiliation between individuals and plays an important role in social cognition. Though mimicry is not normally consciously controlled, past research suggests that people mimic differently across social situations. In order to better understand the flexibility of mimicry in socal contexts, this thesis examined how social signals impact on mimicry by using a cognitive approach. Four behavioural studies consistently suggest that mimicry is subtly and strategically controlled by social signals. Specifically, in the first study we found that eye gaze is a powerful controlling signal on mimicry. Direct gaze rapidly and specifically enhances mimicry of intransitive hand movements. In the second study, we clarified that this eye contact effect on mimicry is not due to any arousal or attentional effect, but is driven by the social cue of direct gaze. In the third study, we found a joint effect of likeability and social status on mimicry. These two features interact in driving mimicry and optimize the affiliative function of mimicry in social interaction. Finally in the fourth study, we found that mimicry is sensitive to social primes. Prosocial and antisocial primes subtly modulate mimicry according to the self-relatedness of the primes. To further investigate the neural mechanism of the sutble control of mimicry by social signals, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine the effect of eye contact on mimicry. The results showed that two key brain systems for social cognition—medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and mirror neuron system (MNS)—work together to control mimicry on line in social contexts. In particular, dynamic causal modelling analysis revealed that mPFC is the originator of the eye contact effect on mimicry and this region modulates the sensory inputs to the MNS according to gaze directions. These findings suggest that mPFC plays a key role in the strategic control of mimicry in social contexts. All experiments are then discussed in relation to current theories of mimicry. We suggest that this subtle and strategic control of mimicry is essential to human competence in social interactions and is important for our understanding of why and how people mimic.

In this thesis, we examine how businesses with social responsibility as part of their core strategy use related management control systems within Harvard Business School Professor Robert Simons' business strategy control model. The model explains the interaction of four control levers (Beliefs Systems, Boundary Systems, Interactive Control Systems, and Diagnostic Control Systems) to balance business strategy. We examine how management control systems for social responsibility apply to each control lever both in theory and through the application of case examples. Finally we overlay the model from corporate America onto the Naval Postgraduate School to examine where socially responsible management control systems operate to control and adjust the overall socially responsible strategies.

Abstract (sommario):

This study examines the development of English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching for adults as a distinct discipline from the period of its inception until the mid-1980s when it appears to have been well on the way to its constitution as and acceptance as a separate discipline. The history of ESL provision is established from interviews and from the literature, and competition between paradigms is discussed. The ESL provision in one borough in the London region is examined, and particular attention paid to the ideas and views of teachers who appeared to be undergoing a transformation from what could best be described as voluntary workers to professionals. Interviews with potential students are discussed because their ideas and concepts not only came into conflict with the received wisdom of ESL, but also had an effect upon the development of the subject. Particular attention is paid to women students because of their importance to the development of ESL. The thesis addresses itself practically to debates within ESL about its context and its politics, and academically to discussions about the relation of education to "race", gender and class. Additionally, it discusses the relationship between changes within the curriculum and outside social aims and social forces. Here the professionalisation of ESL is of importance: the thesis links the claims and practices of the new professionals to their working-conditions on the one hand, and issues of social control on the other. A crisis accompanied the establishment of ESL as a subject which was both financial (fear of cuts) and ideological (challenges to the old approach). Two ways of seeing the work have competed: assimilationist views linked to ESL's welfare origins which saw "the need for English" as self-evident; and a pluralist discourse emphasising "bilingualism". Interviews with potential students showed that "the need for English" was not staightforward; but the pluralist discourse in ESL was stimulated by a struggle for professional status within education rather than by increased proximity to students. It was found that though pluralist views were put forward in ESL publications, the assimilationist discourse was widespread among tutors, who were unlikely to give up their freedom to define the work as they chose unless improvements to their working-conditions were available. The need for an alternative to both is discussed. The thesis is in three parts. Following a chapter on theory and method, the first section (chapters 2 and 3) examines the development of ESL up to the mid-1980s. The welfare origins of ESL and its development into an educational subject are discussed. The second section (chapters 4 and 5) draws on fieldwork in an outer London borough in 1984-5 to describe the different sorts of ESL provision there and discuss the teachers' views of the work. The third section (chapters 6 and 7) explores issues of potential students' approaches to ESL classes. Chapter 6 considers factors affecting adults' approaches to learning new languages and to formal education, and chapter 7 discusses interviews with potential students of ESL in the same outer London borough to compare with the ideas of providers. In conclusion, chapter 8 discusses the implications of the work of ESL in terms of social control. The importance of the curriculum is stressed, and alternatives to assimilationist and pluralist conceptions argued.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Breastfeeding remains problematic in our society despite its being a 'natural' physiological process, its official encouragement as the healthiest way to feed babies and its revival in popularity amongst mothers over the last thirty years. Many mothers give up early and turn to bottle-feeding, and a substantial minority choose not to breastfeed at all. The aim of this research was to study mothers' feeding experiences in the context of the culture and organisation of western industrialised society. The small sample from a single area, whilst not claiming to be rigorously representative, was drawn nevertheless from a community which was very much the product of western industrialised society. Three in-depth interviews were conducted with 47 mothers having their first babies. The first interview was less than a month before the birth, the second about a month after, and the third at about five months. Most wanted to breastfeed, but found it a struggle against doubts and difficulties stemming from lack of knowledge, conflicting ideas and cultural embarrassment. Even those who continued breastfeeding were dependent on bottle-feeding to overcome problems. Health education on the benefits of breastfeeding and coherent advice based on 'demand feeding' will not solve problems stemming from cultural embarrassment and incompatibility with other culturally defined duties and social activities, but setting an unattainable 'natural ideal' could contribute to women's feelings of guilt or failure when they compromise with bottle-feeding, or choose not to breastfeed at all.

Abstract (sommario):

A partir de un enfoque multidisciplinario, considerado como imprescindible a la hora de abordar la temática policial, una primera aproximación debe venir presidida por la investigación del marco histórico válido para insertar un discurso sobre el aparato policial.

Dicho aparato aparece como algo profundamente relacionado con la forma Estado, y es sólo comprensible a partir de un trabajo superador de elementos y campos estancos de conocimiento.

A fin de poder acotar históricamente un espacio, es preciso en primer lugar analizar ciertos enfoques que, a partir de la imagen cotidiana de la relación con "la policía" hacen plantear su existencia como algo "dada", como un dato absoluto, Para ello hay que abordar el concepto de institución policial, cuya búsqueda a lo largo de todos los tiempos y modelos históricos llega a retrotraer tal rastreo a los orígenes de la vida social, fundiéndose ambos en la creación de una historia de la policía sin cesuras. Se tiende a describir un mundo "policiado" desde sus propios albores, y a la policía, en consecuencia, como algo universal, consubstancial a cualquier contexto y tipo de agrupación humana mínimamente "civilizada". Con ello, la policía se diluye en la sociedad como parte nuclear de su propia naturaleza. Naturaleza que, por otra parte, es vista casi siempre como inclinada a la perversión y necesitada de tutela. Tampoco la idea de función policial, a pesar de introducir elementos correctores al anterior enfoque, puede ser tomada como referente válido, al ser entendida dicha función como un cúmulo de mutaciones en la tarea policial, cuya variación viene siempre atribuida a modificaciones técnicas o de las relaciones de poder dominantes eventualmente en su ámbito de existencia. Estas variaciones en la función policial suelen ser vista como partes accidentales de una historia única. Ello equivale una vez más a negar su historicidad, a situarnos ante una línea negadora del propio concepto de historia. Se legitima en ambos casos la existencia de "la policía" y se sitúa su actuación y su función como algo vertebrador e inherente a la propia sociedad, a la que, de este modo, se acaba atribuyendo un papel de tutelada.

Para desplazar a "la policía" del centro de un discurso autolegitimante, es preciso acudir al concepto de aparato policial. Este hace cobrar nueva dimensión a la historia de la policía, que deja de ser tal, si es que jamás existió, en tanto que historia de la institución o de la función, para convertirse en parte de la historia común de una sociedad concreta, ocupando en ella el lugar que realmente le corresponde, en el conjunto de los aparatos y mecanismos que en su seno existen. El resultado de de tal aproximación es que no se contempla una única historia de una única policía, sino la historia fragmentada de un aparato de control que se reclama, por proceso evolutivo, de antiguos aparatos que prestaron sus servicios en otros sistemas sociales, en otras circunstancias históricas.

Bajo este prisma, hay que entender que la institución policial y el aparato policial aparecen en un momento histórico preciso y van siendo adaptados a la demanda de las necesidades según la estrategia que pone en práctica -en cada momento según sus intereses generales- el o los grupos hegemónicos de cada modelo socio-económico, en suma, de cada forma-Estado. Se conjuga de este modo el desarrollo de unas características internas de la institución policial (lo que algunos han interpretado como su historia) con la historia de sus diversas y variables formas.

El origen del aparato policial y de su institucionalización hay que buscarlos en un momento determinado, en el marco de un proyecto político-social que disponga de una filosofía propia, así como de una perspectiva económico-estructural definida. El rastreo de este marco se efectúa pues, siguiendo la hipótesis principal, a partir de los autores del liberalismo, paralelamente, a través de la historia centrada esencialmente en Europa.

De ambas líneas de trabajo se dibuja claramente la existencia de un perfil de Estado que permite intuir el embrión de lo que será la necesaria teorización de una policía, ya a partir de Locke, y en parte también a partir de Hobbes. Por otra parte, el análisis histórico permite ver cómo con el desarrollo del Estado moderno va surgiendo un aparato policial en los grandes Estados del XIX. Se analiza el caso francés -matriz de todas las policías de tipo continental a través del modela exportado por Napoleón- y el caso inglés -especialmente por su clara trayectoria de uso de la policía como protección de intereses hegemónicos económico-sociales y como barrera defensiva frente a la naciente clase obrera-. Por lo que al Estado español se refiere, la atención se centra en ver cómo la eficacia de una policía no tiene que ver directamente con su supervivencia, sino que ésta depende de su inclusión en el aparato estatal. Ello queda patente con el estudio de las causas de decadencia de una policía antigua y eficaz, pero no estatal, las "Esquadres de Catalunya"". Por otra parte, se analiza también al único aparato anterior al surgimiento del Estado unitario español con jurisdicción en todo el territorio: la Inquisición, algunos de cuyos aspectos deben ser tenidos en cuenta si no como predecesores, sí al menos como orientadores de ciertas características actuales del aparato policial español.

El punto de inflexión entre los dos sustentos jurídicos que legitiman y explican un aparato policial -el derecho administrativo y el penal- se trata a partir del análisis comparativo de dos obras cronológicamente contemporáneas: la de N. Delamare y la de M. Guillaute, ambas de mediados del siglo XVIII. Ambos autores tratan del tema policial de modo distinto. Delamare sigue apegado a una idea de "policía" como procuración del bien común, desde una perspectiva claramente vinculada al derecho administrativo y a la concepción más liberal del Estado. Guillaute, en cambio, trata a la policía como un verdadero aparato de control destinado a proporcionar al Estado el mayor control de la población.

A partir de este bagaje, la última parte de la tesis es un ensayo sobre la constatación de la inexistencia de un verdadero aparato policial en la España contemporánea, analizando la etapa del franquismo y hasta nuestros días. En esta parte se puede ver cómo la aplicación de las conclusiones y metodología de los anteriores aspectos analizados, permite comprobar que, ni el ejército ni la administración franquista pusieron en pie un aparato policial, cuya ausencia se constata. La transición democrática y el marco constitucional así como la legislación autonómica y estatal pueden hacer pensar hoy en un atisbo de aparato policial en los términos descritos.

La consecución de un aparato policial en el Estado español se revela como imprescindible en la medida que constituye una etapa insoslayable en un posible proceso superador de dicho aparato a partir del Estado social y democrático de derecho.
The historical framework is analysed as to insert an approach about the police system from a multidisciplinary point of view. This system is highly related to the State.

To set bounds, it's necessary to meet the perception of the police as something given and eternal. The analysis carried out from the start point of "constabulary function" and also from the "Police as an institution" tends to show society as something universal. It is then diluted in the society as the core of its own nature. This feeling of eternity denies the history at the same times that it confers the police as fundamental and protective within society.

It is necessary to understand the concept of the police system as to shift the police from the centre of an auto-legitimate argumentation. Therefore the police (as police apparatus) is analysed as another element in the origin of a concrete society. We do not only contemplate the history of the police, but the fragmented history of a control system that claims itself as a process of evolution of an old system which gives services in other social systems, under determined historical situations. The police institution and police apparatus appears in an exact historical moment and were being adapted to the needs according to the strategies given in the practice in every moment, by the hegemonic groups of each economical pattern, specifically in accident of each form-state.

The research have tried to find out the origin of the European police system and police apparatus in a liberal-bourgeois setting, through a multidisciplinary approach which bas considered the French, English and Spanish cases, with special attention to the evolution to the evolution of the last one.

Resumo: O objetivo da presente pesquisa é investigar as possibilidades de atuação participativa dos Conselhos Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente enquanto meio influenciador na direção da construção do processo de democratização e participação da sociedade nas formulações das políticas públicas para o público infanto-juvenil, considerando os aspectos voltados à Concepção, Composição e Fins de tais Conselhos, aspectos estes que, analisados conjuntamente, caracterizam a Natureza dos mesmos, e podem ser decisivos na avaliação da efetividade de suas atuações. Ainda, buscou-se investigar a concepção que os Conselheiros Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente possuem dos referidos Conselhos e a efetividade do controle social exercido por tais Conselhos, em face da atuação de seus membros. A pesquisa foi realizada junto aos Conselhos Municipais de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente de Assis, Borá e Paraguaçu Paulista. Considerando os objetivos propostos e as características do objeto de estudo, optou-se pelo método quali-quantitativo, que permitiu a flexibilidade necessária para maior aprofundamento e detalhamento dos dados coligidos, tendo como fonte de dados a observação das reuniões dos Conselhos e a aplicação de questionários.

Starting from a retrospective look at the productive restructuring that marks the transition from Fordism to Post-Fordism, from disciplinary society to a control society, this research seeks to deepen this passage through the studies of Michel Foucault, and also by Hardt and Negri, who placed this Momentum as a consolidation of transnational corporations. In order to understand the production and capture of knowledge in the context of the neoliberal control society, we use the notion of no-politics by Maurizio Lazzarato. The concept of immaterial work that underlies the research was inspired by the notions of Hardt and Negri in which they emphasize the change of the profile of the worker with emphasis on the cognitive, affective and communicative abilities. It tries to emphasize the importance that the production of software has in the configuration of current capitalism, besides serving as a case study to understand the latest work processes. In order to understand how these processes are articulated with the control society, and with the managerialist ideology already present in the companies, making possible the creation of very specific subjectivities, we analyze the agile movement in Brazil, which brings through its practices and values a New way of managing and producing software. It seeks, among other aspects, to understand how individuals give themselves to thevalues, beliefs and neoliberal affections, becoming more susceptible to the control society. Qualitative research uses the interview as a tool to register the perception of professionals designated as evangelizers, who occupy a prominent position in the agile movement
Partindo de um olhar retrospectivo da reestruturação produtiva que marca a passagem do fordismo ao Pós-Fordismo, da sociedade disciplinar para uma sociedade de controle, essa pesquisa busca um aprofundamento dessa passagem pelos estudos de Michel Foucault, e também por Hardt e Negri que situaram esse momento como uma consolidação das empresas transnacionais. Para compreender a produção e captura de conhecimento no contexto da sociedade de controle neoliberal utilizamos a noção de noopolítica de Maurizio Lazzarato. O conceito de trabalho imaterial que fundamenta a pesquisa foi inspirado nas noções de Hardt e Negri nas quais ressaltam a mudança de perfil do trabalhador com ênfase nas habilidades cognitivas, afetivas e comunicativas. Procura salientar a importância que a produção de software possui na configuração do capitalismo atual, além de servir de estudo de caso para compreender os processos de trabalho mais recentes. Para entender de que forma tais processos se articulam com a sociedade de controle, e com a ideologia gerencialista já presente nas empresas, possibilitando a criação de subjetividades muito específicas, analisamos o movimento ágil no Brasil, que traz por intermédio de suas práticas e valores uma nova forma de gestão e produção de software. Busca, entre outros aspectos, compreender como se dá adesão de indivíduos à valores, crenças e afetos neoliberais, tornando-se mais suscetíveis a sociedade de controle. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo utiliza a entrevista como ferramenta para registrar a percepção de profissionais designados como evangelizadores, que ocupam posição de destaque no movimento ágil

Abstract (sommario):

Adolescent females are committing an increasing number of violent interpersonal acts. This study used the qualitative technique of focus group interviews to explore social control and self-control factors which impact such behaviors. Forty-seven girls aged 10-18 years described situations and events where interpersonal violence might be used and also what might prevent such acts. For the girls interviewed, social controls were the predominant means of controlling the use of interpersonal violence. Family and peer groups were the most powerful social controls, whether positive or negative. Self-control was deemed important but most girls lacked either the skills or desire to engage in self-control. Violence prevention programs need to teach techniques for improving self-control and increasing self-concept to be most effective.

O SUS necessita do envolvimento dos usuários nas ações de controle social com vistas a minimizar as fragilidades do sistema. Trabalhadores e gestores partilham da responsabilidade de fortalecer esses sujeitos para o exercício de seus direitos em saúde. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo construir um espaço de ação-reflexãoação com os usuários da rede básica, que permitisse refletir sua condição de autonomia e participação no controle social. Desenvolveu-se um estudo de caráter qualitativo, apoiada nos preceitos metodológicos de Paulo Freire, fundamentados na percepção crítica da realidade. Os sujeitos envolvidos foram usuários atendidos por uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família do Bairro Subuski na Cidade de Santo Ângelo, interior do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os participantes foram sete usuários do SUS com idades variando entre 17 e 72 anos. O Círculo de Cultura foi desenvolvido entre os meses de fevereiro a abril de 2010. Esta pesquisa foi submetida ao Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa na Área da Saúde da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande-(CEPAS – FURG), sob o parecer n° 129/2009, permitindo contemplar todos os preceitos éticos que regem a pesquisa com seres humanos. A análise e a interrelação dos dados ocorreu a partir das falas emergidas durante os encontros registrados em áudio e transcritos, emergindo duas categorias: Direitos do usuário: existência ou negação e Participação dos usuários no controle social: possibilidades e impossibilidades. Os usuários expressaram angústias relacionadas ao desrespeito aos seus direitos, afirmando que a falta de informação e de comprometimento ético por parte de trabalhadores de saúde e da gestão local os torna vulneráveis. Em relação a sua participação no controle social, evidenciaram possibilidades e impossibilidades relacionadas à sua falta de credibilidade no sistema político e na gestão local, contribuindo para a fragilidade dos usuários e para a falta de acesso efetivo a seus direitos e à participação democrática. Foi possível evidenciar a necessidade de investir na aplicação de estratégias envolvendo a contribuição de gestores e trabalhadores da saúde na valorização da autonomia dos usuários. Assim, perceber estes sujeitos como co-participes para a melhoria da qualidade do setor, bem como fomentar o exercício da cidadania e da justiça social precisam ser impulsionados de forma a integrar ambientes de atuação e formação profissional, competindo à profissão de enfermagem assumir sua responsabilidade na promoção da saúde e no protagonismo social.
SUS needs the commitment of its users in the actions of social control with the aim to minimize the fragilities of the system. Workers and management share the responsibility of strengthening these individuals to exercise their health rights. The present study aimed to build a space of action-thought-action with the users of public health, which allowed them to reflect their status of autonomy and participation in social control. A study of qualitative feature was developed supported in the methodological concepts of Paulo Freire, reasoned in the critic perception of reality. The individuals involved were users served by a ESF in the Subuski neighbourhood, city of Santo Angelo, in the countryside of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. There were seven participants of the SUS aged between 17 and 72 years. The Culture Circle was developed between the months of February and April 2010, shortly after the approval of research by the Committee of Ethics Research in Heathcare under the no. 129/2009, allowing the contemplation of all ethical principles governing research with humans. Analysis and interrelationships of the data was based on the contents and meanings emerged during the meetings, which were recorded in audio and transcribed, enabling their understanding and grouping according to their affinities. From these analyses, two categories emerged: user’s rights, existence or denial; and the user’s participation in social control: possibilities and impossibilities. In relation to the perception of their rights, the users expressed fears related to the failure committed by health workers, claiming that the lack of information and ethical commitment of the workers and management makes them vulnerable. Regarding their participation in the social control, their perception that highlight the possibilities and impossibilities are related to the lack of credibility in the political system and in local management, which enables the fragility of these individuals with no guarantee concerning the effective access to their rights and to the democratic participation. The study shows the need to invest in the application of strategies involving the contribution of managers and healthcare workers in the recovery of users’ autonomy. Considering these individuals as co-participants in order to improve the quality of the sector as well as foster the exercise of citizenship and social justice needs to be improved so as to integrate environments of work and vocational training, giving the nursing profession the chance to take responsibility in the promotion of health and social role.

El análisis y las interrelaciones de los dados se dieron a partir del contenido y sus significados emergidos durante los encuentros registrados en audio y transcritos, viabilizando su entendimiento y agrupación conforme sus afinidades. De estos análisis emergieron dos categorías: derechos del usuario: existencia o negación y participación de los usuarios en el control social: posibilidades e imposibilidades. Acerca de la percepción de sus derechos, los usuarios expresaban angustias relacionadas a la falta de respeto de estos por parte de los trabajadores de la salud, afirmando que la falta de información y de compromiso ético por parte de trabajadores y de la gestión local los vuelve vulnerables. En relación a su participación en el control social, sus percepciones que evidencian posibilidades e imposibilidades se relacionan a la falta de credibilidad en el sistema político y en la gestión local, viabilizando la fragilidad de estos sujetos, sin garantizarles acceso efectivo a sus derechos y la participación democrática. Fue posible evidenciar la necesidad de invertir en la aplicación de estrategias envolviendo la contribución de administradores y trabajadores de la salud en la valorización de la autonomía de los usuarios. Percibir estos sujetos como coparticipes para la mejoría de la calidad del sector, bien como fomentar el ejercicio de la ciudadanía y de la justicia social necesita ser impulsado de forma a integrar ambientes de actuación y formación profesional, compitiendo a la profesión de enfermería asumir su responsabilidad en la promoción de la salud y en el protagonismo social.

This is an analysis if public policies on death and dying under the control of the contemporary capitalism state. I investigate government action on the forms of death and dying with the transference of control from the state to the market place in the consumer society. I assume the existence of an organic relationship between the forms of death and types of state, which can be demonstrated by the analysis of the policies of assistance to the dying both in the social state as well as in the neoliberal state. I use the hermeneutic-dialectic method to investigate this relationship, as at the same time I use other more contemporary political theories. I understand that they way people die today is both a continuity and a rupture in the capitalist program of social control over bodies. This continuity/rupture is associated to forms of assistance to the dying, starting at the more state-controlled assistance to the the more marketoriented industry of death. The connection between one and the other are the mechanisms of social insertion of the dying in the consumer society, so that they can consume their own assistance. I conclude that the assistance policies through the concession of social rights -- lead the state to look after both the interests of the industry of death and also the will of the dying of not perishing without specialized assistance.
Análise das políticas públicas voltadas para a morte e o morrer sob a tutela do Estado capitalista contemporâneo. Pretendese investigar a ação estatal sobre as formas de morte e morrer na sociedade capitalista contemporânea com a passagem da morte sob a tutela do Estado para a morte sob a tutela do mercado na sociedade de consumo. Pressupõese a existência de uma relação orgânica entre as formas de morte e as formas de Estado, que pode ser demonstrada por meio da análise das políticas de assistência aos moribundos, seja no âmbito do Estado social, seja no do Estado neoliberal. Aplicase o método hermenêuticodialético para a investigação dessa relação, ao mesmo tempo que lança mão de outras teorias políticas mais contemporâneas. Compreendese que a forma como as pessoas morrem nos dias de hoje é uma continuidade e uma ruptura dentro do programa de controle social sobre os corpos do capitalismo. Essa continuidade/ruptura está associada às formas de assistência aos moribundos, indo desde a assistência mais estatizada, até àquela mais mercantilizada, sob o controle direto da indústria da morte. A mediação entre uma e outra são os mecanismos de inserção social dos moribundos na sociedade de consumo, para que eles possam consumir a sua própria assistência. Concluise que as políticas de assistência aos moribundos, por meio da concessão de direitos sociais, levam o Estado a atender tanto aos interesses da indústria da morte, quanto aos desejos dos moribundos de não morrerem sem assistência especializada.

Resumo: As transformações recentes do capitalismo mundial apontam para movimentos simultâneos de privatização e desregulamentação da vida social e econômica, de ataque aos direitos democráticos e de fortalecimento dos aparatos coercitivos do Estado. A adoção de políticas de segurança de ¿tolerância zero¿ nos EUA é expressiva destes movimentos constitutivos da globalização do capital, sob o predomínio do neoliberalismo, que convertem amplos segmentos sociais em deserdados das condições básicas à sobrevivência. Cada vez mais distanciado das políticas sociais e comprometido com o capital transnacional, o Estado neoliberal apresenta-se crescentemente fortalecido em seus mecanismos repressivos, fenômeno que alguns autores analisam como a ¿emergência do Estado Penal¿ em substituição ao chamado Estado de bem-estar social. Este trabalho, tendo como modelo os EUA, objetiva analisar em que medida tal fenômeno manifesta-se no Brasil. É relevante tal estudo no Brasil, devido à sua subordinação aos dinamismos das economias capitalistas centrais e suas graves desigualdades, onde os custos sociais e políticos do modo como o capital se reproduz na atualidade são muito mais dramáticos
Abstract: The worldwide capitalism has undergone transformations in recent years pointing to simultaneous movements of privatization as well as social and economic deregulation, attacks on the democratic rights and strengthening of the coercive State apparatus. The adoption of ¿zero tolerance¿ security policies in the USA expresses these movements which have been represented by capital globalization, under the neoliberalism supremacy, which converts wide social segments into disinherited of survival basic conditions. The neoliberal State is getting distant of social policies, more committed with the transnational capital and it has presented itself increasingly strong in its repressive mechanisms, phenomenon that some authors analyze as the ¿emergency of the Penal State¿ in substitution for the Welfare State. This present work has the USA as a model and its objectives are to analyze how that phenomenon reveals itself in Brazil. This study in Brazil has been considered relevant due to its subordination to the dynamism of the central capitalism economies and its severe inequalities, where the social and political costs of the way capital reproduces itself nowadays are much more dramatic

Este estudo centra-se na análise das representações sociais sobre o controle social na Assistência Social. Para tanto, traz-se para o debate uma abordagem sobre as representações sociais enquanto produto das relações sociais e sobre os aspectos teórico-práticos do controle social, com enfoque na Política de Assistência Social. A pesquisa delimitou como objetivo geral: Analisar as representações sociais acerca do controle social da Política Pública de Assistência Social e a relação entre a operacionalização dessa prática com a garantia do acesso aos direitos. A metodologia pautou-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio de levantamento e discussão teórica, estudo documental e pesquisa de campo a partir de entrevistas semi-estruturadas junto ao gestor da Assistência Social; a seis conselheiros, representantes governamentais e não governamentais do Conselho Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente- CMDCA e do Conselho Municipal de Assistência Social- CMAS e; a 10 famílias beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família. Os principais resultados apontam que o controle social tem se constituído em um espaço importante de interlocução pública, e expressam interesses diversificados, em momentos as demandas sociais são colocadas em pauta e acatadas pelo Estado e em momentos esse debate é bloqueado, são postas limitações estruturais e políticas, dependendo das correlações de forças. Assim sendo, as representações sociais expressam essa dinâmica contraditória dada nas relações sociais. Na presente pesquisa as representações sociais do gestor da Assistência Social demonstra a dicotomia intrínseca ao acúmulo de funções - a de gestor e ao mesmo tempo de presidente do conselho, fato que limita a prática do controle, já que não pode cobrar de si mesmo enquanto representante do Estado e, apresenta ainda a preocupação com a amplitude do conceito de controle para além da fiscalização, inquietação originada pela pressão dos conselheiros em exercer essa atribuição; As representações sociais dos conselheiros é determinada por suas relações políticas com o governo, há limitação na autonomia dos conselheiros e um desconhecimento do potencial político do conselho, mas eles evidenciam claramente a dimensão administrativa-financeira. E as representações sociais dos usuários expressam o total desconhecimento sobre as formas de participação na Política de Assistência Social, questão diretamente relacionadas com as suas condições de vida. E, por fim, o controle social em Maués não está refletindo na garantia do acesso aos direitos socioassistenciais às famílias da Comunidade São Francisco do Pupunhal. Logo, um caminho longo e desafiador ainda precisa ser percorrido, no sentido de por em pauta as demandas desse segmento, de conhecer as peculiaridades locais, de ouvir a opinião de quem as vivência, de atuar de forma qualificada e consistente no âmbito da Política de Assistência Social e de fortalecer os espaços de controle social na sua dimensão política.

Abstract (sommario):

Due to large scale use of online social media there has been growing interest in modeling and analysis of data from online social media. The unifying theme of this thesis is to develop a set of mathematical tools for detection, estimation and control in online social media. The following are the main contributions of this thesis: Chapter 2 deals with nonparametric change detection for dynamic utility maximization agents. Using the revealed preference framework, necessary and sufficient conditions for detecting the change point are derived. In the presence of noisy measurements, we construct a decision test to check for dynamic utility maximization behaviour and the change point. Experiments on the Yahoo! Tech Buzz dataset show that the framework can be used to detect changes in ground truth using online search data. Chapter 3 studies engagement dynamics and sensitivity analysis of YouTube videos. Using machine learning and sensitivity analysis techniques it is shown that the video view count is sensitive to 5 meta-level features. In addition, changing the meta-level after the video has been posted increases the popularity of the video. In addition, we examine how the social dynamics of a YouTube channel affect it's popularity. The results are empirically validated on a real-world data consisting of about 6 million videos spread over 25 thousand channels. Chapter 4 considers the problem of scheduling advertisements in live personalized online social media. Broadcasters aim to opportunistically schedule advertisements (ads) so as to generate maximum revenue. The problem is formulated as a multiple stopping problem and is addressed in a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP) framework. Structural results are provided on the optimal ad scheduling policy. By exploiting the structure of the optimal policy, optimum linear threshold policies are computed using a stochastic gradient algorithm. The proposed model and framework are validated on a Periscope dataset and it was found that the revenue can be improved by 25% in comparison to currently employed periodic scheduling.

Abstract (sommario):

The ultra-Orthodox (haredi) Jewish community includes the Hasidim and misnagdim who believe that they are the true followers of God's commandments, as He intended them to be followed when presented at Sinai, and as interpreted and codified by the Mishnah, Talmud, and other Rabbinic works. Little research has examined deviance within this group. This thesis delves into types of deviant behaviors taking place among haredi adolescents, as well as their causes, so that effective interventions, sensitive to the virtually unique needs of this group, can be implemented. Theoretical definitions of deviance are examined as they relate to this community and its emphasis on religious observance. Ultimately, deviance is defined as matters that can distract the individual from expected levels of religious observance.
Using Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model of Human Development, this thesis also explores the environmental factors contributing to a rise in deviant behavior in segments of the Montreal ultra-Orthodox community. From an analysis of data obtained from numerous interviews with community members as well as with mental health professionals familiar with this group, four contributing factors to the rise of deviant behavior among adolescent boys are identified. These factors test current haredi methods of maintaining strong cultural boundaries and may suggest that changes are necessary to cope with current challenges. The lure of mainstream culture is a strong draw for adolescents and advances in technology allow these individuals to easily engage in secret deviant behavior while remaining in good standing within the community. Moreover, the rigid structure of the school day with its long hours and intensive curriculum makes it difficult to accommodate the needs of all students. Changes in family structure, dynamics, and composition, as well as an increasingly stringent interpretation of religious law have also contributed to a rise in deviance. Finally, community financial weakness is explored as it relates to adolescence and a loss of religious identity.

Abstract (sommario):

Singapore is a highly controlled society. This thesis shows how the system of social control works as a whole. It does this by examining the details of social regulation in relation to political struggles, the phases of capital accumulation, and the alliance between the People's Action Party-state and foreign capital. A theoretical consideration of social control critically examines traditions which have related economic strategies to political resistance and to the role of the state. This chapter acts as a resource to identify and address issues which emerge in the subsequent detailed study of Singapore. The historical origins of current state repression are located in the British response to the anti-imperialist uprising in the post-war period. During the transition to political independence, the Lee Kuan Yew-faction of the People's Action Party built its alliance with foreign capital under the shelter of colonial-state violence. A survey of theoretical approaches to Singapore's political economy favours an interpretation which sees local struggles as the driving force of change within the context of the latest phases of imperialism. The greater part of the thesis concentrates on the concrete ways that social control has worked in Singapore since the PAP came to power. Major institutions are studied in depth: public housing, education, elections and parliament, and the law. Each highlights a major aspect of social control. The system of state welfare provision through public housing and education stratifies society, forces people into wage labour and induces political loyalty. Parliamentarism and the forms of liberal democracy help to convert submission into consent. If consent is not forthcoming, then the coercive powers of the law and the military are applied. The thesis concludes by showing how different political struggles were met by different forms of social control during the various stages of Singapore's economic development. The result is an overview of the way the whole system of social control works.

Abstract (sommario):

Social media has become an integral part of the Internet and has revolutionized interpersonal communication. The lines of separation between content creators and content consumers have blurred as normal users have platforms such as social media sites, blogs and microblogs at their disposal on which they can create and consume content as well as have the opportunity to interact with other users. This change has also led to several well documented privacy problems for the users. The privacy problems faced by social media users can be categorized into institutional privacy (related to the social network provider) and social privacy (related to the interpersonal communication between social media users) problems. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the social privacy issues that affect users on social media due to their interactions with members in their network who may represent various facets of their lives (such as work, family, school, etc.). In such a scenario, it is imperative for them to be able to appropriately control access to their information such that it reaches the appropriate audience. For example, a person may not want to share the same piece of information with their boss at work and their family members. These boundaries are defined by the nature of relationships people share with each other and are enforced by controlling access during communication. In real life, people are accustomed to do this but it becomes a greater challenge while interacting online. The primary contribution of the work presented in this thesis is to design an access control recommendation mechanism for social media users which would ease the burden on the user while sharing information with their contacts on the social network. The recommendation mechanism presented in this thesis, REACT (REcommending Access Control decisions To social media users), leverages information defining interpersonal relationships between social media users in conjunction with information about the content in order to appropriately represent the context of information disclosure. Prior research has pointed towards ways in which to employ information residing in the social network to represent social relationships between individuals. REACT relies on extensive empirical evaluation of such information in order to identify the most suitable types of information which can be used to predict access control decisions made by social media users. In particular, the work in this thesis advances the state of art in the following ways: (i) An empirical study to identify the most appropriate network based community detection algorithm to represent the type of interpersonal relationships in the resulting access control recommendation mechanism. This empirical study examines a goodness of fit of the communities produced by 8 popular network based community detection algorithms with the access control decisions made by social media users. (ii) Systematic feature engineering to derive the most appropriate profile attribute to represent the strength or closeness between social media users. The relationship strength is an essential indicator of access control preferences and the endeavor is to identify the minimal subset of attributes which can accurately represent this in the resulting access control recommendation mechanism. (iii) The suitable representation of interpersonal relationships in conjunction with information about the content that result in the design of an access control recommendation mechanism, REACT, which considers the overall context of information disclosure and is shown to produce highly accurate recommendations.

Abstract (sommario):

Users of social networking services such as Facebook often want to manage the sharing of information and content with diﬀerent groups of people based on their diﬀering relationships. The growing popularity of such services has meant that users are increasingly faced with the copresence of diﬀerent groups associated with diﬀerent aspects of their lives, within their network of contacts. However, few users are utilising the group-based privacy controls provided to them by the SNS provider. In this thesis we examine the reasons behind the lack of use of group-based privacy controls, ﬁnding that it can be largely attributed to the signiﬁcant burden associated with group conﬁguration. We aim to overcome this burden by developing automated mechanisms to assist users with many aspects of group-based privacy control, including initial group conﬁguration, labeling, adjustment and selection of groups for sharing privacy sensitive content. We use a mixed methods approach in order to understand: how automated mechanisms should be designed in order to support users with their privacy control, how well these mechanisms can be expected to work, what the limitations are, and how such mechanisms aﬀect users’ experiences with social networking services and content sharing. Our results reveal the criteria that SNS users employ in order to conﬁgure their groups for privacy control and illustrate that oﬀ-the-shelf algorithms and techniques which are analogous to these criteria can be used to support users. We show that structural network clustering algorithms provide beneﬁts for initial group conﬁguration and that clustering threshold adjustments and detection of hubs and outliers with the network are necessary for group adjustment. We demonstrate that public proﬁle data can be extracted from the network in order to help users to comprehend their groups, and that contextual information relating to context, contacts, and content can be used to make recommendations about which groups might be useful for disclosure in a given situation. We also show that all of these mechanisms can be used to signiﬁcantly reduce the burden of privacy control and that users react positively to such features.

Abstract (sommario):

In this research I have examined the relationship between an aspect of teacher education and the ideology of social control. Taking the Professional Studies Credit of a B.Ed. Honours year course, I examine the ways in which the Credit serves to develop those qualities which support the dominant social order both overtly and implicitly. I suggest that both the planning and the implementation of the Credit take place within constraining parameters and that they embody contradictions and tensions, which correspond very broadly to developments in wider society. Use of the concepts of practical theoretical and hegemonic ideologies demonstrates, I believe, the ways in which different forms of control are transmitted and legitimated. Part of the research involves also an examination of certain Government Reports on Education. By looking at these I seek to understand how the underlying social, economic and political structures influence the ideologies, which are part of everyday perceptions about education. I use a form of discourse analysis, which I believe helps to provide some understanding of how educational common sense comes to be produced and how status is created. By doing this it is my intention to avoid separating the development of a particular course from the wider issues of power and control. However, I do not see the two aspects as causatively linked, but each as part of the same social and political whole. It is my intention to reveal the ideological contradictions underpinning both the Professional Studies Credit and the selected Government Reports. But the chief emphasis of this research is upon the mechanisms and strategies by which both the Professional Studies Credit and the Government Reports create meaning.

Abstract (sommario):

This sociological study of medical school culture employed a critical framework for analysis of ideological reproduction and social control. A literature review provided a social-historical context for the empirical findings that focused on student-faculty discourse at one college of medicine during the third-year Family and Community Medicine clerkship. Data collection consisted of audio recording and observation in both classroom and clinical settings. A depth hermeneutical analysis was used to answer three research questions. For question 1, "What is the macro medical social context within which ideologies are being reproduced and received in medical education?" a literature review on recent trends in health care delivery and medical education elucidated the social-historical conditions in which ideological and social control constructs are embedded today. The principal finding was that the U.S. health system is embroiled in a revolution, characterized by the frequently contradictory ideologies of medical advocacy and business allocation. For question 2, "What are the principal ideological and social control messages being reproduced in medical education?" a discursive analysis of faculty-student dialogue was structured around eight thematic elements. Findings revealed that medical education does not prepare students to think critically about social and environmental issues that cause 85% of illness in our society, with faculty dominance often acting as a major deterrent. The principal messages being reproduced extended from a therapeutic ideology that promotes the physician's definition/control of patient problems. Also found was a deeply conflictual relationship between managed and medical care. For question 3, "How does the meaning mobilized by these ideological messages in medical education serve to establish and sustain relations of domination and social control?" an interpretive process clarified how ideology and social control sustain relations of power that systematically confound and effectively eliminate social justice in health care. Because the right to define the patient's problem gives the physician extraordinary power, the drive to reach a differential diagnosis is extremely strong, and gaining diagnostic expertise is medical education's consuming focus. As a result, students leave medical school prepared for their professional social control role, while uncritically accepting the inequitable and illness-causing social, economic, and political ideologies of our time.
