PPGDC

Program description

Graduate Program in Constitutional Law aims to institute a field of advanced knowledge production on the state and superstrate political-legal institutions, joining them with the theoretical and historical foundations which are original to their shaping. The core of the program is the understanding of the constitutional phenomenon from its theoretical and historical roots. This perspective renovates the dogmatic constitutional approach, highlighting the encrusting of the Constitutional Law in the political-legal theoretical paradigm and in the underlying social reality, whose apprehension allows a reasoned, critical and propositional understanding of the legal reality.

Levels

Master

Main lines of Research

• Political Institutions, Public Administration, and Constitutional Jurisdiction: The Political Institutions, Public Administration, and Constitutional Jurisdiction line of research has as main goal to investigate how modern States and the Brazilian State, in particular, work relating its structure and dynamics to the reach of Constitutional Law;
• Constitutional Law and Theory and International and Comparative Constitutional Law: The Constitutional Law and Theory and International and Comparative Constitutional Law line of research has as a goal to produce knowledge on the different processes of historical and theoretical constitution of the structures, principles, norms, and operation of modern and contemporaneous Constitutional Law.

PPGCCV

Program description

The Graduate Program in Cardiovascular Sciences (PPGCCV) was created in 1985, when the master’s program started. Since the beginning, PPGCCV has aimed to qualify professionals to assist, teach, and research cardiovascular diseases. PPGCCV is unique in all of the state of RJ because it unites researchers who are interested in knowing the cardiovascular system from its fundamental aspects to population domain, going through Physiology, Physiopathology, Basic Pharmacology, and Applied Clinics.

This feature distinguishes the Program from a simple system that unites researchers and their groups, creating conditions for the construction of transdisciplinary projects with interactions that enrich and sophisticate questions to be answered, allowing the cardiovascular system study to go from the molecule to the population. This characteristic was one of the most important elements for its recognition by the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), which elevated the grade in the evaluation of the Program from 3 to 4 and allowed the creation of the doctorate program in 2008.

PPGCA

Program description

The Graduate Program in Contemporary Studies of the Arts (PPGCA-UFF) considers as one of the most consistent marks of the artistic field nowadays the fading in the delimitations between different artistic practices – visual, audiovisual, theater, dance, music –, as well as the frontiers between the arts and other disciplines and everyday practices.

To deal with this reality, PPGCA-UFF searches an effective crossing of knowledge, critical discourses and practices. In this perspective, its three lines of research – Critical Studies of the Arts, Studies of the Arts in Social Contexts and Studies of Artistic Processes – conjugate artistic, theoretical and social insertion projects in an articulate way, crisscrossing the study and the practice of the arts with some referential of art, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, education, and psychoanalysis theory.

Levels

Master

Main lines of Research

• Critical Studies of the Arts: Theoretical and critical investigation of the arts. Current debates in the transit between disciplines and languages.
• Studies of the Arts in Social Contexts: Investigation of the processes of production and reception of the arts with emphasis in their cultural, political, and educational dimensions.
• Studies of Artistic Processes: Development of theoretical studies with foundation in the creation of the researcher artist articulated with contemporaneous matters of the arts.

PPCULT

Program description

The Post-Graduate Program in Culture and Territoriality (PPCULT), was approved in 2012 by CAPES, having received in their first four-yearly evaluation (2013-2016), grade 4. It is the result of a demand of UFF lecturers and students for more investment in research and study in the field of culture and territoriality because of its increasing importance in contemporaneity. Gathering lecturers from different areas (such as Cultural Production, Media and Cultural Studies, Education, Anthropology, History, Letters, Sociology, Communication, etc.), brought together by their research and reflections related to the study of culture in many senses, especially when it comes to discussing spatiality and territoriality, material and symbolic, the new Program finds its place of insertion by excellency in an interdisciplinary perspective, a great area at CAPES, in which it is inserted.

Levels

Master

Main lines of Research

• POLITICS, SPACIALITIES, RELATIONS, AND SOCIOCULTURAL CONFLICTS – This line of research recognizes the mutual dependence relations between space, culture and politics. It is translated, therefore, in the social and cultural practices crossed by the diverse types of territorialization and the way the social subjects take their place in the political world. This way, it is interesting to interpolate phenomena identified in the relations between politics and culture, between culture and patrimony, between diversity, difference, and otherness, between economy and cultural work, between culture, conflict, and power, between sociability and ways of territory appropriation, between generational dimensions, etc., in their relations with the multiple ways of production of spaces and the city;
• PERFOMANCES, AGENCIES, AND PLURAL CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE – It examines social practices which forge identities, territories, and spatiality. It aims to investigate, in an interdisciplinary perspective, experiences related to social interactions in the city, the country, the cyberspace involving knowledge exchange and cultural mediations, relations of power and political, cultural dispute, etc. In the proposed approach, objects, bodies, spaces are seen as bearers of agency, poetic qualities, performative dimensions in the measure in which they trigger modalities and ritualistic, imaginary, religious, and artistic qualities;
• BORDERS AND PRODUCTIONS OF MEANING – This line intends to discuss borders and flows in multiple meanings, beyond its physical dimension, although including it, but also incorporating other possibilities in terms of displacement and hybridity. In this sense, the line will encompass reflections about territoriality in its regional, national and global dimensions, thinking from in-between-places. In the same way, we will focus in matters of post-/de- colonialism (with emphasis in Latin America in a general way), of intersectionality (with emphasis in the variables surrounding gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, migrations, diasporas), of narrative constructions of memories, identities, representations, subjectivities, and routes. Discursive aspects, relations of power, and the multiple languages of culture surrounding the productions of meaning will guide the reflections in multi, inter, and transcultural perspectives.

PGC
 

Program description

The Post-Graduate Program in Computer Science (PGC) of the Institute of Computer Science (IC) of the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) was created in 1999, through the fusion of the post-graduate programs in Computer Science and in Applied Computer and Automation, both existed since 1995. In 2002, the Doctorate program in Computer Science was launched, receiving, alongside with the Master’s program, grade 4 by CAPES. The doctorate program boosted the quality of research developed at the PGC and in the four-yearly evaluation performed in 2007 the program earned grade 5 by CAPES. Through the last 10 years, the program went through important internal reorganization, implemented a policy for hiring doctors with a research profile, and received a considerable investment in infrastructure. As a result of its growth, in the four-yearly evaluation in 2017, the program earned grade 6 by CAPES. The Program has as main goal to train highly-qualified professionals in the activities of teaching and research in Computer Sciences, including its practical applications, particularly in Engineering and Healthcare. Alongside with this goal, the Program presents a clearly multidisciplinary profile, acting strongly in the areas of Scientific Computing, Computing Applied to Potency Systems and Computing Applied to Healthcare. The recent main initiative of the PGC to promote the internationalization of the program was the submission of projects to the CAPES/PRINT Public Notice (“Edital”). The PGC had three CAPES/PRINT projects approved in 2018 and they will be worked on until 2022, which will allow the offer of more doctoral exchange program scholarships, several faculty work missions accredited abroad and the reception of foreign researchers as visitors at the PGC, encouraging the collaboration with international partners.

Main lines of Research

The program is currently organized in five areas of concentration, namely:

• Algorithms and Optimization: This area of concentration is dedicated, mostly, to computational modelling of problems of fundamental optimization or originated in applications in the areas of telecommunication, transportation, sports, manufacturing, biology, and medicine, just like the search for efficient algorithms in the resolution of such problems. It is articulated with four lines of research that complement each other: Computational Biology, Combinatorial Optimization, Metaheuristics and Theory, and Algorithms in Graphs.
• Scientific Computing and Potency Systems: This area of concentration is about two big themes. Scientific computing is an approach used to improve the understanding of the phenomena studied in Natural Sciences and in Engineering. Computational systems are developed and they aim to represent the phenomena in study from their mathematical description. Computational techniques are analyzed aiming at the formal establishment of its effectivity and efficiency. The search for efficiency incorporates, usually, the use of high-performance computational techniques, including parallel and distributed processing because a great amount of data is involved. Each phenomenon is analyzed through computational simulations. The second theme deals with complex potency systems, which are destined to generate, transmit and distribute electrical energy. The narrow dependence of modern society in relation to the use of electrical energy has been leading to the search for solutions for sophisticated problems which have to do with continuity and quality of supply. The great postage of potency systems and the aggregation of new technologies bring constant challenges to the analysis, planning and operation of these systems. In this context, computational methods, optimization techniques, and artificial intelligence constitute a powerful tool when dealing with problems in this area.
• Visual Computing: This area of concentration deals with computational systems applied to any step of an acquisition, processing, analysis, synthesis, and interpretation process of visual data. It is an interdisciplinary area that requires knowledge in the fields of computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, and cognitive sciences, among others. The depth of knowledge required in each field depends on the adopted line of research and on the considered applications. In the area of Visual Computing activities are developed in seven lines of research: Image Analysis and Processing, Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Games and Digital Entertainment, Geometric Data Processing, Computer Vision and Data Visualization.
• Systems and Information Engineering: The area of Systems and Information Engineering concentrates its studies in methodologies and techniques for software development and the acquisition, representation, management, analysis, and transformation of data, information and knowledge that is consumed or produced by computational systems. These studies are made in theoretical and formal contexts as much as in practical and applied ones. The ESI area is organized in five lines of research: Database, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Programing Languages, and Formal Methods.
• Computer Systems: This area develops scientific, theoretical and applied research, in the following lines of research: Algorithms and Distributed Systems, Ubiquitous Computing, High Performance Processing, Computer Networks, System Security, and Multimedia Systems. The area has modern computational resources in the thematic labs MídiaCom and SGCLab, as well as broad access to resources external to IC via interaction with national and international businesses. In this area of concentration courses are offered regularly, such as Distributed Algorithms, Parallel Algorithm, Parallel Architecture, Mobile Computing, Computer Networks and Real Time and Onboard Computing; in addition to optional courses, such as Computer Network Architecture, Performance Evaluation, Large Scale Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, Onboard Systems Development, Network Engineering, Multimedia Systems Development, Parallel Programing Lab, Multimedia Networks, Network Security, and Special Topics in Computer Systems.
