El proyecto propone adaptarse a las nuevas formas de hacer ciencias y junto con ello a las nuevas tecnologías que implica el trabajo de investigación. Algunas condiciones derivan de asumir al centro de investigación como entidad social, un lugar donde se incentiva la interacción y las comunicaciones.
Es por ello que renovar la plata física de la Facultad reemplazando las construcciones que se encuentran deterioradas por el tiempo es una necesidad urgente. En total 4.000 m2 de construcción blanda, que se transforman en la oportunidad de re-pensar las configuraciones actuales de la Facultad de Ciencias, un centro de investigaciones que lidera en su quehacer pero que debe reformularse en su planta física si espera desarrollar al máximo su capacidad científica y humana.

Full textAbstract:
The Cash in Transit (CIT) industry demands reliable and innovative products from its suppliers to ensure safety and reliability within the industry. Product innovation has been directed at a bespoke tracking system for the Cash in Transit industry, which can meet its stringent requirements and excel above the capabilities of standard, readily available tracking systems. The presented research has investigated the state of the art in tracking and localisation systems and has highlighted Wi-Fi as a potential novel Cash in Transit tracking solution. With research into 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and the effects in a CIT environment, the technology has been understood and demonstrated in terms of its advantages and weaknesses when applied to CIT. The research has shown that 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is a novel and viable solution for both wide area tracking and localised tracking of a Cash in Transit security box by testing innovative ways of detecting theft using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi in a set of specific real-world scenarios. An embedded tracking system was developed and a thorough evaluation undertaken using a series of practical usage scenarios. The results show the proposed tracking capability is very effective and ready for initial effective use within a Cash in Transit security box.

Full textAbstract:
The problem addressed in this phenomenological study was the lack of documentation that supported the lived experiences of crisis intervention team (CIT) trained police officers related to their encounters with persons with mental illnesses (PwMI). The purpose of the study was to explore the lived experiences of officers among CIT-trained police officers to address the problem. Using the Giles's communication accommodation theory and Rogers's protection motivation theory (PMT), the purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of CIT-trained police officers of PwMI during CIT encounters. Rogers's PMT was aligned closest with the teachings of CIT training as described by the study's participants. Participants provided data which was comprised of completed questionnaires and transcribed interviews. The method of analysis used was a combination of inductive coding and theme analysis that established the results of this study. Key findings of the study identified a significant amount of frustration expressed in the lived experiences of the CIT-trained police officers. Pushback from the public mental health facilities helped with the frustration experienced by CIT-trained police officers who applied the fundamentals of PMT and attempted to navigate treatment with the limited resources available to help PwMI in crisis. The positive social change produced from this study includes recommendations to police leadership and mental health advocates to encourage certain CIT training-related practices that directly impact CIT field encounters with PwMI in crisis. Specialized training may promote improved departmental outcomes, assist with injury reductions, and enable police officer accountability and reliability.

Neste trabalho foram estudados, através de simulações numéricas e medidas de concentração de poluentes próximo à superfície, algumas situações meteorológicas que determinaram episódios de destaque com relação ao poluente ozônio que ocorreram na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) entre 1999 e 2006. Primeiramente, foram avaliados dois modelos fotoquímicos, CIT e SPM-BRAMS, quanto à formação de ozônio e a correta representação dos processos de dispersão de poluentes na região. Após a avaliação dos modelos, foram determinadas características do escoamento atmosférico durante a ocorrência de episódios críticos do ponto de vista da qualidade do ar. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a variabilidade nas concentrações do ozônio pode ser bem representada pelos modelos utilizados. Em geral, as concentrações simuladas com o SPM-BRAMS concordam bem com as observações em termos da fase do ciclo diurno, sendo os valores das concentrações um pouco subestimados com relação aos máximos observados. O modelo CIT, por sua vez, apresentou concentrações mais altas, principalmente nos horários de máximo, tendo também representado adequadamente o ciclo diurno. Nas simulações, com ambos os modelos, foi constatado que nos pontos referentes às estações de monitoramento localizadas na porção sudeste da RMSP, foram obtidos os piores resultados em termos de parâmetros estatísticos comumente utilizados na avaliação de resultados modelados. Com o SPM-BRAMS foram também realizadas simulações abrangendo o mês de janeiro de 2006, através das quais foram estudadas as condições atmosféricas em grande e mesoescala e o comportamento das concentrações de ozônio associadas. Durante este mês houve períodos de intensa atividade convectiva, relacionados a episódios de ZCAS, bem como períodos mais secos em que a atmosfera apresentava-se mais estável. Observou-se que durante episódios de chuva intensa há uma superestimativa das concentrações pelo modelo; no entanto, os resultados são bem próximos às observações em situações de céu claro e com ventos menos intensos. Os picos secundários noturnos na concentração de ozônio, observados com certa freqüência nos dados medidos, nem sempre foram bem representados pelo modelo, embora os picos máximos diurnos fossem bem representados. Os dias em que os picos noturnos foram simulados adequadamente pelo SPM-BRAMS foram caracterizados por alta pressão desde a superfície até níveis médios, com maior subsidência e estabilidade na atmosfera, favorecendo o transporte de ozônio a partir de níveis mais altos da atmosfera para a superfície. Os picos noturnos com concentrações acima de 20 ppbv foram os mais bem representados.Throughout numerical simulations and near to surface measurements of pollutants concentrations, in this work some meteorological situations of relevance for high ozone concentrations episodes over the Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo (MASP) were studied., between 1999 and 2006. Firstly, two photochemical models, CIT and SPM-BRAMS, were evaluated in the sense of the correct representation of ozone formation and the pollutant dispersion processes over the region. After the models evaluation, some characteristics of the atmospheric flow were determined during the occurrence of critical events from the air quality point of view. The results showed that the ozone concentrations variability was relatively well represented by the used models. In general, the concentrations simulated by the SPMBRAMS agree well with observations, in terms of the diurnal cycle phase, but the concentrations values were slightly underestimated compared to the observed maximum. The CIT model showed higher concentrations, especially during diurnal maximum peaks. The diurnal cycle was also adequately represented by this model. In simulations with both models, it was found that in the monitoring stations located in the southeastern portion of the MASP, the worst results were obtained in terms of statistical parameters commonly used in the evaluation of models results. The SPM-BRAMS was also used for simulations throughout the whole month of January 2006. With these simulations the atmospheric conditions in large and meso scales and the associated ozone concentrations behavior were studied. During this month periods of intense convective activity occurred, associated with SACZ episodes. Dry periods in which the atmosphere was more stable, were also observed during this month. It was observed that during episodes of intense precipitation, there is a tendency of concentration overestimation by the model; however, the results are very close to the observations in situations of clear sky and with milder winds. The nocturnal secondary peaks in the ozone concentration observed with some frequency in the measured data, were not always well represented by the model, while the maximum day time peak were well represented. The days when the nocturne peaks were properly simulated by SPM-BRAMS, were characterized by high pressure from the surface to mid-level, with more atmospheric subsidence and stability, promoting the transport of ozone from higher levels of the atmosphere to the surface. The nocturnal peaks with concentration above 20 ppbv were most well represented.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to run a panel regression analyzing the impact of economic, legislative and social factors on corporate tax revenues, as defined by existing empiric and theoretic literature. Literature which directly addresses factors influencing corporate income tax revenues is quite limited -- in respect of number of papers as well as in respect of the range of examined countries and/or time period. The latest and key papers include among others Clausing (2007), Devereux (2006) and partly Kenny, Winer (2006) and Gropp, Kostial (2000). Presented thesis on the other hand covers observations for all OECD countries for a rather long time period 1980 -- 2006. This thesis should address all important factors having influence on corporate income tax revenues, including tax avoidance and debt financing. The results of the analysis largely correspond to existing investigations of other authors; however, presented regression is of more complex and general character -- it includes other factors of tax avoidance and data for all OECD members (except for some variables which are not available), including post-communist countries.

Full textAbstract:
The provision of work experience opportunities for students at the Canberra
Institute of Technology (CIT) is an important feature in promoting the
practical application of theory learned in the classroom. At the outset of this
study, the variety and scope of work experience programs at CIT was not
known and there were no apparent efforts to co-ordinate this activity. The
effectiveness of these programs was not known, and there were no strategies
in place to measure their worth.
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe work experience
programs, to analyse existing evaluation methods and to propose a Model of
Evaluation appropriate to the maximum number of programs.
The review of related literature resulted in the selection of Stake's
comprehensive Countenance Model (1967), chosen for its consideration of
the complexities of purpose and the wide variety of experiences which
students may encounter. A significant part of the application of Stake's
Model was the development of an Evaluation Kit for Work Experience Co-
Ordinators at CIT and the subsequent trial on the Work Placement subject of
the Certificate in Travel course in the School of Tourism and Hospitality.
Stake's Countenance Model of Evaluation appears to embody an appropriate
structure to measure the worth of programs. Recommendations for future
directions include the wider trial of the Kit in a greater number of programs to
further establish its usefulness to decision-makers, and the need to remain
alert to emerging issues and trends in work experience practice in Australia.

Previous issue date: 2014-08-29Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world. It is a complex and heterogeneous disease with diverse clinical features, cellular origin, histological types, mutations, prognosis and therapeutic possibilities. A subpopulation of cells with the ability of self-renewing, increased proliferation and resistance to chemotherapy has been described in breast cancer, named tumor-initiating cells (TICs). The aim of this study was to review and integrate, through meta-analysis, the studies that have investigated the possible associations between tumor-initiating cells, defined by CD44+ CD24- low phenotype and ALDH expression, by using immunohistochemistry, and prognostic aspects of breast cancer. Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis, 13 evaluated the CD44+ CD24- low phenotype, 11 evaluated the expression of ALDH and four studies evaluated both markers. The results of the metaanalysis demonstrated statistically significant associations between the triple negative phenotype and the CITs, including both the expression of CD44+ CD24- low phenotype (p < 0.0001), as the expression of ALDH (p = 0.0004). Associations investigated for HER2 overexpression presented conflicting results, whereas CD44+ CD24- low phenotype was not significantly associated with this parameter (p = 0.1989), ALDH expression was significantly associated with HER2 (p < 0.0001). An inverse association, however, statistically significant, was observed between the presence of lymph node metastases and CD44+ CD24- low phenotype (p = 0.0047), while the expression of ALDH was not significantly associated with this parameter (p = 2019). Based on the analyses carried out, it can be concluded that the markers, CD44+ CD24- low and ALDH, represent an important tool in identifying tumor initiating cells in breast carcinomas and that statistical associations observed in this study raise important perspectives for developing molecular therapies based on presence of the CD44+ CD24- low phenotype and ALDH expression in the treatment of triple-negative breast carcinomas.
O câncer de mama é o segundo câncer mais comum do mundo. É uma doença complexa e heterogênea com diversas características clínicas, histológicas, origem celular, mutações, prognóstico e possibilidades terapêuticas. Uma subpopulação de células com a capacidade de auto-renovação, proliferação celular e maior resistência à quimioterápicos tem sido descrita no câncer de mama, sendo estas denominadas célulasiniciadoras tumorais (CITs). O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em revisar e integrar , por meio de meta-análise, os estudos que investigaram as possíveis associações entre células iniciadoras tumorais, definidas pelo fenótipo CD44+ CD24- low e expressão de ALDH, por método de imuno-histoquímica, e aspectos prognósticos do câncer de mama. Vinte estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão para esta meta-análise, 13 avaliaram o fenótipo CD44+ CD24- low, 11 avaliaram a expressão de ALDH e quatro estudos avaliaram ambos marcadores. Os resultados da meta-análise demonstram associações estatisticamente significativas entre o fenótipo triplo negativo e as CITs, incluindo tanto a expressão do fenótipo CD44+ CD24- low (p < 0,0001), como a expressão de ALDH (p = 0,0004). Associações investigadas para a hiperexpressão de HER2 apresentaram resultados conflitantes, sendo que fenótipo CD44+ CD24- low não foi associado de forma significativa à este parâmetro (p = 0,1989), enquanto a expressão de ALDH esteve significativamente associada ao HER2 (p < 0,0001). Uma associação inversa, porém, estatisticamente significativa, foi observada entre a presença de metástases linfonodais e o fenótipo CD44+ CD24- low (p = 0,0047), enquanto a expressão de ALDH não esteve significativamente associada a este parâmetro (p = 2019). Com base nas análises realizadas, é possível concluir que os marcadores CD44+ CD24- low e ALDH representam uma importante ferramenta na identificação de células tumorais nos carcinomas mamários e que as associações estatísticas observadas criam perspectivas importantes para o desenvolvimento de terapias moleculares baseadas na presença de CD44+ CD24- low e de ALDH no tratamento dos carcinomas triplo negativos.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Patienter inom intensivvård transporteras inom sjukhus för att genomgå exempelvis röntgenundersökningar och intensivvårdssjuksköterskor har ansvaret att förbereda och genomföra transporten tillsammans med kollegor. Intrahospital transport (IHT) är ett kritiskt moment för den instabila patienten. I samband med transporten måste patienten lämna den välutrustade och välbemannade intensivvårdsavdelningen och risken för allvarliga komplikationer ökar. En av intensivvårdssjuksköterskans kärnkompetenser är säker vård och det innebär att vårdskador ska förebyggas och åtgärdas. För att kunna förebygga och åtgärda vårdskador behöver intensivvårdssjuksköterskans strategier synliggöras. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors strategier för att genomföra patientsäkra intrahospitala transporter. Design: Kvalitativ med deskriptiv ansats. Metod: Den metod som använts är kritisk incidentteknik (CIT) och data har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metoden passar för att studera mänskliga beteenden som kan förenkla praktiska problem. Stor vikt lades vid utformning av syfte och precisering av de kritiska incidenter som samlades in. Dataanalysen innebar transkribering av intervjuerna och därefter sökande och sorterande av kritiska incidenter som svarade på syftet. Resultat: Huvudfynden i studien är till stor del kopplade till teamarbete, intensivvårdssjuksköterskans mentala förberedelser och kontroller av läkemedel och medicinteknisk utrustning. De kategorier som framkom var; teamarbete, förberedelser samt utveckla kompetens och dela kunskap. Konklusion: Trots att IHT beskrivs som det mest riskfyllda att göra med en patient inom intensivvård så saknas etablerade rutiner dels för hur intensivvårdssjuksköterskan ska lära sig IHT men också rutiner kring utförandet av IHT. Vi vet att vård också kan ge skador, som kostar patienter och närstående stort lidande samt samhället stora ekonomiska summor. Därför måste riskerna i vården synliggöras så att dessa kan förebyggas eller minimeras. Intensivvårdssjuksköterskor besitter tyst kunskap bland annat inom IHT och det behövs mer forskning inom detta för att skapa rutiner som säkerställer framtidens IHT.

Full textAbstract:
A Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) enfrenta sérios problemas relacionados à degradação da qualidade do ar devido às emissões de sua intensa frota veicular, apresentando constantes ultrapassagens dos Padrões de Qualidade do Ar de poluentes como o ozônio (PQAr ~80ppbv). O Ozônio é formado na atmosfera em condições complexas em presença de intensa radiação solar, altas temperaturas, baixa umidade relativa, ventos fracos e altas concentrações dos precursores, óxidos de nitrogênio (NOx = NO + NO2) e compostos orgânicos voláteis (COVs). Assim, o problema da poluição do ar em centros urbanos precisa ser tratado com metodologias mais modernas para que possam ser estabelecidos novos critérios para redução de seus precursores e o conhecimento das condições mais adequadas (relação entre os COVs e os NOx, além da especiação destes COVs) para a redução do ozônio troposférico. Neste contexto, modelos fotoquímicos de qualidade do ar têm sido usados para auxiliar na tomada de decisões ambientais estratégicas. O módulo químico SAPRC Statewide Air Pollution Research Center é um mecanismo detalhado para simular reações entre COVs e NOX, desenvolvido para ser aplicado para atmosferas urbanas e regionais dos Estados Unidos. Porém, devido características específicas do combustível (aproximadamente 30% da frota usa etanol), no Brasil a poluição urbana apresenta características próprias. Dessa forma, baseado em campanhas anteriores de amostragem de COVs, no presente estudo foram modificados o inventário de emissões e o módulo químico (SAPRC99) do modelo fotoquímico CIT a fim de melhorar a representação do ozônio quanto a sua formação e consumo na atmosfera da RMSP. Para isso, alguns COVs como xilenos, 1-buteno e trimetilbenzenos foram explicitados. As simulações para os dias 30 e 31 de outubro de 2006 mostraram aumentos de espécies como peroxiacetilnitrato e ozônio de aproximadamente 10% para o centro de formação de pluma sobre a RMSP.The Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) suffers severe problems related to air quality degradation presenting constant air quality standard overpasses for pollutants like ozone (QSAir ~80ppbv), due to its intense vehicular fleet. Ozone is formed in the atmosphere under complex conditions in the presence of strong solar radiation, high temperatures, low relative humidity, weak winds and also high precursor concentrations, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Therefore, the problem of air pollution in urban centers has to be treated using modern methodologies in order to establish new criteria for reduction of precursors and to know more adequate conditions (relation between VOCs and NOx, as well as speciation of these VOCs) in order to reduce tropospheric ozone. In this context, air quality photochemical models have been used to support strategic environmental decisions. SAPRC chemical mechanism Statewide Air Pollution Research Center developed to be applied in the United States urban atmospheres, consists of a detailed mechanism to simulate reactions between VOCs and NOx. However, due to specific fuel properties (about 30% of vehicular fleet uses ethanol), urban air pollution in Brazil presents its own characteristics, such as higher level of the oxygenated compounds. Hence, based on previous campaigns where VOCs had been sampled, the emission inventory and the chemical module (SAPRC99) were modified in order to improve ozone consumption and formation representation in the MASP atmosphere. As a result, some VOCs like xylenes, 1-butene and trimethilbenzens were explicated. Simulations for 30 and 31 of October 2006 presented increases in species formation like peroxyacetylnitrate and ozone about 10% in the centre of the MASP plume.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-23O gênero Acanthamoeba compreende protozoários que estão amplamente distribuídos nos mais diversos ambientes e por todos os continentes e que são capazes de causar infecções em seres humanos, como a ceratite e a encefalite granulomatosa. A patogênese da Acanthamoeba constitui-se de um processo multifatorial, com fatores que envolvem tanto a ameba quanto o hospedeiro, porém, esse mecanismo de patogenicidade ainda não está totalmente elucidado. O Objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar a virulência de seis isolados de origens clínica e ambiental de Acanthamoeba, com três genótipos diferentes, T3, T4 e T5 representando os 20 tipos atualmente descobertos, e com duas doses de amebas sobre três tipos diferentes de linhagens celulares de mamíferos, MDCK, VERO e CHO, para testes de efeito citotóxico e de efeito citopático. Amostras clínicas provenientes de cultura de raspados de córnea de pacientes com diagnóstico de ceratite amebiana e as amostras ambientais procedentes de saída de torneira, de água de inundação e de poeira, foram coletadas e axenizadas entre os anos de 2014 a 2017. Considerando que o cultivo prolongado de isolados de Acanthamoeba pode provocar a diminuição ou possível perda da virulência, foi realizada a passagem das amebas em linhagem celular do tipo MDCK para reativar a virulência dos isolados em cultivo prolongado. O efeito citotóxico demonstrou que existe diferença de resultados a depender da linhagem celular utilizada, mas não dos isolados. A passagem em linhagem celular MDCK foi capaz de provocar o aumento da virulência dos isolados Mnus4 (T3-ambiental), Krt15.DFNL (T3-clínico), Krt12.ROS (T4-clínico) e Krt16.PEN (T5-clínico) nos testes de citotoxicidade. Nossos resultados demonstraram que a linhagem celular mais susceptível ao meio condicionado (efeito citotóxico) foi a MDCK, seguida de VERO e CHO. Entretanto, para o ensaio de citopatogenicidade, CHO foi a mais susceptível a exposição aos trofozoítos de Acanthamoeba, seguida de VERO e MDCK. No efeito citopático, os resultados variaram de acordo com o isolado utilizado, com a dose utilizada de trofozoítos e com a passagem em linhagem celular. O aumento do número de trofozoítos de ameba em incubação com as linhagens celulares foi capaz de provocar um aumento na virulência dos isolados dos três genótipos no teste de efeito citopático, sobre, principalmente, as linhagens VERO e CHO. No teste de efeito citopático, o genótipo mais virulento foi o T5, seguido de T4 e T3, sendo o isolado mais virulento o A3P4 (T5) de origem ambiental. Dessa forma, conclui-se que os resultados obtidos com os testes de efeito citopático e citotóxico com as diferentes linhagens de células de mamífero têm variações relacionadas ao tipo de linhagem celular de mamífero utilizada, bem como com as características inerentes de cada isolado. Assim, os resultados aqui obtidos poderão ser auxiliares para o planejamento de futuras pesquisas relacionadas aos estudos da patogenicidade da Acanthamoeba.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to determine the ability of the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) to advise changes to training regiments offered to Resident Advisers (RAs). The CIT was devised as a tool in the field of organizational psychology. Its purpose is to assist in analyzing the success of individual team members by examining the self-reported occurrence of incidents on the job, which are deemed critical. The Critical Incident Technique has been implemented with success in business and military applications. This powerful tool allows researchers to make valuable observations about the realities faced by individuals on the job. These observations make it possible to devise and improve existing training methods capitalizing on these realities.
Data for this study came from an examination of incident reports (IRs). RAs generate IRs in response to different kinds of issues faced working with resident college students. Three regional institutions agreed to participate in this study and helped to diversify the data collected. This study addresses the following questions:
- What are the critical incidents RAs experience most often on the job?
- Is there a difference between the critical incident types reported in residence halls by institutional type?
- Is there a difference between the critical incident types reported by hall types?
- Is there a difference between the critical incident types reported by gender?
- What implications do the findings have for future RA training?
- Crisis situations
- Policy enforcement
- Facilities management
- Administr/ative procedures
- Advising
After analyzing the data using the statistical research methods described above, it was possible to make recommendations for future RA training. This study examines the impact of institutional environment, department philosophy, and personal bias on the training of RAs. The results suggest that each of these factors influences the success of RAs, and defines the environments in which resident students live.

Resultatet har analyserats med stöd av ramfaktorteorin. Studiens resultat visar att det förekommer mobbningsincidenter i förskoleklass. Resultatet visar även att brister gällande förebyggande arbete förekommer. Studien är användbar för alla som arbetar inom skolverksamheten då den belyser vilka åtgärder och förebyggande metoder som finns tillgängliga.

Full textAbstract:
DE LA TESIS:El tratamiento de la esquizofrenia se basa principalmente en la administración de antipsicóticos que realizan su efecto terapéutico bloqueando un 60-80% de RD2 estriatales, entre otros. El grado de bloqueo RD2 diferirá en función del tipo de neuroléptico empleado. La aparición de síntomas extrapiramidales, entre ellos el parkinsonismo (PK), es uno de los efectos secundarios más comunes. La prevalencia de PK es del 30-54 % en pacientes tratados con típicos y del 15-20 % en los tratados con atípicos a dosis bajas. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de PK en sujetos nunca tratados es del 14-24%, siendo del 1% en la población normal.
OBJETIVOS: I) Comparar el DAT estriatal entre un grupo homogéneo de pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico que desarrollan PK tras 4 semanas de tratamiento con antipsicóticos, y un grupo que no desarrolla PK. II) Comparar el DAT estriatal de los pacientes con la de los sujetos sanos. III) Determinar correlaciones entre psicopatología clínica, PK y concentración del DAT estriatal. IV) Explorar si los pacientes tienen una distribución anatómico-funcional determinada o característica del DAT estriatal. V) Determinar si existen diferencias entre sexos en el DAT estriatal VI) Comprobar si las alteraciones del DAT estriatal en pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico pueden ser un rasgo de enfermedad en esquizofrenia. VII) Valorar si el tratamiento antipsicótico modifica el DAT estriatal. VIII) Determinar si la SPECT con [123I] FP-CIT antes del tratamiento con antipsicóticos puede predecir la aparición de PK en pacientes con esquizofrenia.
MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Tesis doctoral estructurada en 3 proyectos de investigación clínica, consecutivos y complementarios. Se estudiaron 50 pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico (DSM-IV) y 15 sujetos sanos. Todos los pacientes fueron tratados con risperidona y se les realizó seguimiento psicopatológico (PANSS, CGI) y de PK (SAS). En los dos primeros estudios se realizó SPECT con [123I] FP-CIT a las 4 semanas de tratamiento. En el tercero (n=20), se hizo SPECT basal y a las 4 semanas de tratamiento. El SPECT de los controles se realizó al momento del reclutamiento. El SPECT se cuantificó mediante un programa semiautomático que ubicaba ROIs en caudado, putamen (anterior, medio y posterior) y occipital, en ambos hemisferios y en 3 cortes consecutivos. Se calcularon los índices de captación estriado/occipital.
CONCLUSIONES: I) Los pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico que desarrollan PK no tienen una concentración del DAT estriatal diferente a los pacientes que no desarrollan PK. II) Los pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico, desarrollen o no PK, presentan una concentración del DAT estriatal menor que la de los sujetos sanos. III) La concentración del DAT estriatal no se relaciona con la clínica psicopatológica, ni con la sintomatología parkinsoniana IV) La alteración anatómico-funcional del DAT más característica en pacientes con esquizofrenia, es la disminución putaminal. No obstante, el caudado también podría estar afectado. V) La concentración del DAT estriatal en mujeres es mayor que en hombres, en pacientes con esquizofrenia. VI) La menor disponibilidad del DAT estriatal en pacientes con esquizofrenia en su primer episodio psicótico, antes de iniciar el tratamiento antipsicótico, sugiere que es un rasgo de enfermedad. VII) El tratamiento antipsicótico no tiene un efecto sobre la disponibilidad del DAT, ya que no modifica las captaciones después de 4 semanas de tratamiento. VIII) La SPECT con [123I] FP-CIT no permite predecir que pacientes desarrollarán PK inducido por antipsicóticos, ya que no distingue pacientes que se parkinsonizan de los que no lo hacen.

Full textAbstract:
This study describes police officers’ perspectives of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. Ethnographic interviews were used to gather data, and Transformational Learning Theory guided this study. Implications of CIT training indicate that CIT officers are a part of a subculture within police culture, and respond differently to mental health calls differently than their non-CIT counterparts. Outcomes of these different response styles include decreased criminalization, decreased injury to officers/consumers, decreased use of force, and increased confidence in responding to mental health calls for officers who are CIT trained. Implications of this study are discussed in relation to sustainability of partnerships between law enforcement officers and mental health professionals.

Full textAbstract:
Disruptions can cause projects to fail. Within the project management literature, approaches to managing disruptions consist of uncertainty, risk, opportunity, change, and crisis management. These approaches focus on developing strategies to manage perceived threats and also work towards predicting risk, therefore, reducing vulnerability. This vulnerability-reduction only focus is limiting because it takes the focus away from the development of a general capacity for readiness and for responding to uncertain situations. A resiliency approach enables a simultaneous focus on vulnerability reduction, readiness and response and thus ensures recovery. Given the context and discipline specific nature of the resilience concept, and the little or no attention in projects, this thesis conceptualises resilience in projects. This conceptualisation is to enable the identification of factors to consider and indicators to ensure overall project recovery, through the identification of dimensions and antecedents of resilience respectively. The aim of this study therefore, is to develop a framework to conceptualise resilience in projects. To achieve this aim, three case studies, namely; building, civil engineering and engineering construction projects were investigated. Within each case study, the critical incident technique was employed to identify disruptions and their management through direct observations of human activities, narration of critical incidents and review of documents on disruption. Following this, a comparative analysis and synthesis of the case studies was carried out and findings revealed definition, dimensions, antecedents and consequences of resilience in projects. Specifically, resilience in projects is defined as; the capability of a project to respond to, prepare for and reduce the impact of disruption caused by the drifting environment and project complexity. The dimensions of resilience are; proactivity, coping ability, flexibility and persistence. Proactivity can be defined as an anticipatory capability that the project takes to influence their endeavours whilst coping ability can be defined as the capability to manage and deal with stress caused by disruptions within the projects. Furthermore, flexibility can be defined as the capability of a project to manage disruption by allowing change but ultimately making sure that the aim is maintained and persistence is the capability to continue despite difficult situations. Several antecedents of these dimensions of resilience are identified. For proactivity these include contract, training, monitoring, contingency and experience. For coping ability these include the contract, training, contingency and experience. For flexibility these include open-mindedness, planning, continual monitoring and continual identification of ideas and for persistence these include continual monitoring, planning and negotiation. Also, the consequence of resilience in projects is recovery through response, readiness and vulnerability reduction. This conceptualisation of resilience is then synthesised into a validated framework for resilience in projects. Theoretically, this research provides definition, dimensions, antecedents and consequence for resilience in projects and a theoretical starting point for the concept of resilience in projects. The significance of this research to practice is the identification and development of a more holistic perspective of managing disruptions in projects through the identified dimensions, antecedents and consequences. These dimensions, antecedents and consequences provide clarity for the roles of project managers and team members in managing disruptions and thus, expand the eleventh knowledge area; project risk management, of the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK). In addition, the dimensions, antecedents and consequences of resilience in projects contribute to the curriculum development in project management and thus, provide factors and indicators that project managers require in managing disruptions.

Full textAbstract:
The Critical Incident Team (CIT) training program equips police officers with knowledge regarding mental illness and practical skills for effectively interacting with a mentally ill suspect. In addition to improving officer and suspect safety by decreasing the number of violent encounters between police and the mentally ill, CIT goals include reducing the number of mentally ill individuals who are arrested and providing them with assistance through community resources. However, there is a lack of empirical research on whether CIT training decreases arrest rates and increases diversion rates for mentally ill subjects. The purpose of this quantitative study was to measure the effects of CIT training on arrest and diversion rates of mentally ill subjects. The theoretical foundation for the study was evidence-based policing. Reports from a single police department in the southwestern United States were reviewed, and arrest and diversion incidents from 6-months pre and post CIT training for 30 police officers were collected. A paired-samples t test was used to analyze the data, which indicated that there was not a statistical difference in arrest rates or diversion rates between pre and post CIT training. Results corroborated the findings of other studies showing that arrest and diversion rates are not affected by CIT programs. Law enforcement agencies that currently have or are looking to implement a CIT program may find the study useful, as it reports an increase in resources being provided to mentally ill subjects following contact with a CIT officer. Recommendations include additional research into the effectiveness of the CIT program as well as the continuation of collaboration between community mental health organizations and police, both of which may lead to positive social change.

The diploma thesis aims to analyze the development of tax collections of corporate income tax in the Czech Republic in the years 2005 - 2013. The theoretical part of thesis in the first chapter pays particular attention to the basic concepts of the Czech tax system, where is analyzed the structure of corporate income tax, tax mix or Czech tax quota. The second and third chapter summarizes the most important reforms and development of the collection of corporate income tax between 2005 and 2013, and particularly factors that affect this tax. The practical part of thesis is divided into three analyzes, the first of which analyzes the total income of CIT and it dependence on selected variables, which are e.g. GDP, deductions from the tax base or corporate tax rate. The second part examines the admitted amount of tax in the tax returns by individual economic sectors and the admitted amount of CIT is analyzed according to different types of taxpayers in the last part of thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Ingeniero Civil IndustrialEl presente trabajo de título tuvo por objetivo el diseño de una propuesta de valor para el vínculo Universidad-Empresa para el caso del Centro de Innovación Tecnológica de la Universidad de Chile. El CIT surge con el fin de promocionar y promover investigaciones que incrementen el valor de productos de elaboración nacional, así como apoyar la generación de ideas que fomenten nuevas empresas y potencien su desarrollo en el mercado. Todo el conocimiento derivado de las investigaciones de la Facultad de Ciencias se transfiere, en la actualidad, principalmente por el conocimiento que el equipo del CIT ha ido desarrollando por medio de su gestión pero se hace necesaria la formalización de sus funciones y la propuesta de estrategias que permitan disminuir la dependencia del grupo humano que se encuentre a cargo. Para el desarrollo de modelo de servicio, cuyo principal objetivo es el fortalecimiento de capacidades, resultó fundamental la realización de un Benchmarking basado en los factores claves relacionados con la transferencia de tecnologías desde las Universidades hacia las empresas y que permitiera la incorporación de las mejores prácticas a nivel mundial. Luego siguió la definición de los sectores claves seleccionados, que no sólo han sido validados por la comunidad de la Facultad de Ciencias, sino que agrupan de manera armónica todas las líneas de investigación asociando cada cluster con un sector productivo respectivo definido por las Naciones Unidas, lo que entrega la certeza que tales actividades científicas tienen potencialidad de transferencia al mundo productivo dada la estrecha relación existente entre ambas. Con respecto a la identificación de capacidades, se pudo observar que está directamente relacionada con la convergencia de dos criterios: las necesidades productivas (prospección de demanda de tecnología) y la expertise científico-tecnológica presente en el Centro de Investigación. El cruce realizado entre factores de demanda y las capacidades existentes, junto con la caracterización del equipamiento de excelencia, permiten entregar un valor agregado con respecto a otros Centros de Investigación. La principal utilidad del modelo propuesto radica en que permitirá al Centro de Innovación Tecnológica de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Chile identificar sus capacidades de transferencia de tecnología al mundo productivo, así como definir la oferta de servicios basado en sus competencias actuales, la estimación de su mercado potencial finalizando por la entrega de propuestas de desarrollo futuro y recomendaciones.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur tjänstekvalité inom B2B kan utvärderas samt att analysera om ViewsCapture, en frågeteknik med öppna frågor där respondenten själv kategoriserar sina egna kommentarer, kan tillföra något till befintliga metoder. Vidare avses att koppla samman utvärderingsmetoder med de olika syften företag har för att mäta kvalité.
Uppsatsen byggs upp av en omfattande litteraturstudie om vad tjänster och tjänstekvalité är, samt varför det är viktigt att utvärdera tjänstekvalité inom B2B. De utvärderingsmetoder som beskrivs i uppsatsen är dels attributbaserade och dels händelsebaserade metoder. Empiridelen består av material från Unified Dialogs AB som har utvecklat frågetekniken ViewsCapture som sedan analyseras tillsammans med befintliga metoder.
Undersökningen visar att tjänstekvalité handlar om att infria de förväntningar kunden har på en tjänst. Om kunderna skiljer sig signifikant ifrån varandra faller det sig naturligt att mer kvalitativa och mindre standardiserade metoder bör passa bättre. Det beror på att varje kund är unik och tillvägagångssättet många gånger inte är standardiserat, därför är det svårare att på förhand generalisera kring vad företagets kunder finner problematiskt. Genom användning av ViewsCaptures frågeteknik med öppna frågor skapas förutsättningar för att vidareutveckla de befintliga mätmetoderna i syfte att bättre tjäna företags och forskares syften för mätningen. Detta görs exempelvis genom att inhämtning av djupare information från attributbaserade mätmetoder möjliggörs samt att analys av de öppna svaren från en händelsebaserad metod underlättas.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis develops a multi-faceted picture of competency based training
and the impact it is having on vocational education. The thesis is a personal
attempt to act agentically by deconstructing the discourse of vocational
education within which I am positioned in my working life. It is an attempt
to push back the boundaries of the discourse and to explore and create
spaces for contestation.
In order to do this I undertake three different readings of a set of texts. The
texts come from two sources. The first is a set of documents identified in the
Framework for the Implementation of Competency Based Training and which
represent the official government position on competency based training.
The second is a set of interviews I undertook with teachers at the Canberra Institute of Technology regarding their views about competency based
training. Details of the texts are provided in Section 2 of the thesis.
The body of the thesis is a set of three readings of these texts. The particular
view of 'reading' used in the thesis is a post structuralist one. Each of the
readings brings into play the understanding of the texts created within a
particular discourse. I draw on the work of Michel Foucault for the
understanding of discourse used in the thesis.
The first reading is from within the discourse. It is a reading which seeks to
understand competency based training in its own terms, and in relation to
the critical debates within the literature of vocational education. I argue in
this reading that competency based training emerges as a grand but flawed
vision for the future of vocational education.
The second reading takes the viewpoint of the work of Michel Foucault, and
in particular his book Discipline and Punish. It uses the metaphor of the
panopticon to explore the nature of power/knowledge within competency
based training and the regime of truth which it brings into being.
The final reading is from a feminist post structuralist position. I argue in this
reading that the discourse of competency based training is phallocentric. I
explore the liberatory claims of the discourse and conclude that the claims
are limited because they do not challenge the fundamental and powerful
dualisms through which competency based training is constituted.
Finally in the conclusion I briefly explore whether I have achieved the aim
of the thesis. I question what it means to act agentically and whether the
type of thesis I have undertaken constructs the possibility of doing so.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Vetenskapliga artiklar visar att patienter som får stroke under sin sjukhusvistelse får sämre omhändertagande än strokepatienter som direktinläggs. Litteraturen visar även att det behövs mer kunskap om vilka förbättringar som kan behöva göras för att få en säker, kunskapsbaserad och effektiv stroke sjukvård. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att identifiera händelser som har varit kritiska i omhändertagandet av inneliggande patienter som insjuknar i stroke. Metod: CIT (Critical Incident Technique) har använts som datainsamlingsmetod, denna har använts inom flygvapnet men har på senare tid fått större användning i bl. a hälso- och sjukvården. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Burnard (1996) ligger till grund för bearbetning av materialet. Analysen utgick ifrån 10 intervjuer med sjuksköterskor som har erfarenhet av patienter som insjuknat i stroke på vårdavdelning. Intervjuer är genomförda på 5 (fem) olika typer av avdelningar inom Sahlgrenska sjukhuset under våren 2016. Resultat: Kritiska händelser förekommer i samband med omhändertagande inom alla delar av vården av patienter som insjuknar i stroke under sin sjukhusvistelse. Övergripande kategorier är: oförutsedd händelse, bristande resurser riskerar patientsäkerheten och specialistvårdens baksida/organisatoriska hinder. Kategorierna identifieras inom mikro-, meso- och makrosystem för sig samtidigt som de interagerar mellan de olika systemen. Slutsatser: Tillgång till aktuella mätningar är viktig för att få en överblick över det aktuella läget för inneliggande strokepatienter i form av antal och var de inträffar. Studien visar att det finns ett stort behov av en välfungerande strokekedja för inneliggande strokepatienter och att det finns genomförda projekt i USA som kan vara till hjälp för framtida förbättringar i stroke vården. Det är även viktigt att lägga fokus kommunikation och information till anhöriga.Background: Scientific articles has shown that patients that have had a stroke during their hospitalization receive lesser degree of care, than patients that has been admitted with a stroke. Literature has shown we need more knowledge how to improve stroke care to get a secure, knowledge based and effective stroke care in hospitals. Aim: The study aims to identify the events that have been critical in the management of hospitalized patients who suffer a stroke. Method: CIT has been used as a data collection method to bring in information, it has been used in the airforce and more recently has been used more widely in national healthcare. Qualitative contents analysis, according to Burnard (1996), gives basis for analyzing the material. The analysis was based on 10 interviews with nurses who have experience of patients diagnosed with stroke during hospitalization. Interviews were conducted at 5 (five) different departments within the Sahlgrenska Hospital in spring 2016. Result: Critical events occur in connection with care in all parts of the care of in-hospital patients who suffer a stroke. Overall categories: unexpected event, the safety of patients affected by department resources and the backside of specialist care. The categories identified in the micro, meso and macro systems are interacting between the different systems. Conclusion: Access to current measurements is important to get an overview of the current state of in-hospital stroke patients in the form of numbers and where they occur. The study shows that there is a great need for a well-functioning stroke chain for in-hospital stroke patients and that there are implemented projects in the US that could be helpful for future improvements in stroke care. It is also important to focus on communication and information to relatives.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Contabilidade - FiscalidadeA falta de competitividade a nível fiscal e a necessidade de assegurar e atrair investimento estrangeiro levou o Governo português a levar a cabo uma reforma do Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Coletivas (IRC), a qual introduziu várias alterações ao Código do Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Coletivas (CIRC). Contudo, esta reforma optou por manter a sujeição de várias despesas a tributação autónoma (TA), agravando ainda as respetivas taxas. Assim, a presente dissertação pretende avaliar o impacte que as TA têm nas empresas, sobretudo nas microempresas, tendo as pequenas entidades como termo de comparação. Neste trabalho começamos por explicar a origem da TA, assim como a sua evolução histórica e legislativa no CIRC, focando-nos posteriormente no atual regime, dando ênfase às alterações que a reforma do IRC trouxe a este regime. Também avaliamos o peso que as TA tiveram nas empresas em Portugal, entre os anos de 2005 e 2013. O estudo empírico desenvolvido teve por base dados recolhidos da declaração modelo 22, de micro e pequenas entidades do distrito de Aveiro, com a finalidade de: analisar se as TA aumentaram nas micorentidades por força da reforma do IRC; avaliar o peso das TA no total do imposto sobre o rendimento a pagar pelas microentidades; identificar quais as despesas que têm mais impacte no montante total dos encargos sujeitos a TA; e comparar o encargo com as TA entre micro e pequenas entidades. A nossa investigação contemplou a realização de entrevistas, para percecionarmos a opinião de agentes conhecedores do regime. Concluímos que este tipo de tributação tem cada vez mais peso no total do imposto a entregar ao Estado e que o agravamento das taxas introduzido pela reforma do IRC veio prejudicar as empresas em estudo. Verificámos que os encargos com viaturas são as despesas que contribuem mais para o bolo das TA. Foi possível concluir também, para a amostra em estudo, que as alterações introduzidas pela reforma do IRC tiveram mais impacte nas microentidades, apesar de serem as pequenas entidades – dada a diferença de dimensão – que suportam um valor superior deste imposto. Com os resultados obtidos com este estudo, concluímos que as TA são cada vez mais um meio de arrecadação de receita por parte do Estado, daí o aumento sucessivo das suas taxas e do alargamento do seu campo de incidência. De modo a diminuir a carga fiscal a suportar pelas microentidades, apresentamos propostas de planeamento fiscal a efetuar por este tipo de entidades, assim como a alterações ao artigo 88º do CIRC.
The lack of competitiveness at tax level and the need to secure and attract foreign investment encouraged the Portuguese Government to do a reform of Corporate Income Tax (CIT), which introduced a number of amendments to the Tax Code on Corporative Income (TCCI). However, this reform has chosen to maintain the subjection of various autonomous taxations (AT), aggravating the respective taxes. So, the present work aims to evaluate the impact of the AT on businesses, especially microentities, and small entities and compare the respective impact. In this paper we begin by explaining the origin of the AT, as well its historical and legislative developments in the TCCI, later we focus on the current regime, emphasizing the changes that CIT reforms brought to this scheme. We also evaluate the AT weight on businesses in Portugal, between 2005 and 2013. The study was based on collected data from the declaration 22 model of micro and small entities in Aveiro district, in order to: examine whether the AT increased in micorentidades under the reform of the CIT; evaluate the importance of AT in the total income tax payable for microentities; identify the expenses that have more impact on the total amount of charges subject to AT; and compare the cost with the AT between micro and small entities. Our research included conducting interviews to understand the opinion of people who know how the system works. We have concluded that this kind of taxes has more weight in the total tax paid to the State and that the increase taxes introduced by the CIT reform came to harm the companies we studied. We noticed that the costs of vehicles are the costs that more contribute to the AT cake. It was possible to understand, for the sample under study, the changes introduced by the CIT reform had more impact on microentities, although they are small entities - given the size difference - they support a higher value of this tax. With the results obtained from this study, we conclude that the AT are increasingly a tool of revenue for the government, so the successive tax increase successive and extending its incidence field were expected. In order to reduce the tax burden on microentities, we present proposals for tax planning to do on this entities as well the amendments to the 88º article of the TCCI.

Full textAbstract:
South Africa since the liberation in 1994 has faced a lot of changes. The changes
include being a member of the international community. As part of the international
community, South Africa is finding itself largely faced by the challenges associated
with this position. Looking at other countries South Africa is realizing that the world
is looking at better ways of educating their people and organizing their education and
training systems so that they might gain the edge in an increasingly competitive
economic global environment. Success and survival in such a world demands that
South Africa has a national education and training system that provides quality
learning and promotes the development of a nation that is committed to life-long
learning.
Institutions of higher education in South Africa are currently changing their present
education system to conform to a Competency-Based Training (CBT) system. This
system has only been planned but not implemented yet and it is not clear how CBT
will be implemented, especially how the learners are going to be assessed.
Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) is an integral part of CBT that needs
particular attention if the new system is to succeed.
The key aims of this thesis are to investigate the current assessment policy and
practice at the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) underpinned by Competency-
Based Training system. The project will describe and analyze the Competency-Based
Assessment system used within CIT's CBT system. The project will focus on:
Observing classroom practice of CBA, analyzing students' and teachers' perceptions
of their involvement with CBA, and analyzing employers' perceptions of the
effectiveness of CBA.
The main aim of this thesis is to suggest recommendations for an assessment model
that will be suitable to implement within hospitality training institutions in South
Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Idag innefattar en del av det polisiära arbetet bland annat att bemöta och handskas med psykiskt sjuka individer. Då den psykiska ohälsan ständigt ökar i samhället innebär det att allt fler anställda hos polismyndigheten möter psykiskt sjuka individer. Därför är det betydelsefullt att poliser har kunskap om psykisk ohälsa. Genom kunskap kan samspelet mellan polis och den psykiskt sjuke ske på bästa möjliga vis. Denna uppsats önskar att belysa hur CIT (Crisis intervention teams) påverkat polisens möte med personer med psykisk ohälsa. CIT har visat sig positivt kunna påverka mötet mellan polis och den sjuke. Den positiva inverkan av CIT diskuteras utifrån fyra övergripande teman; hänvisning till vård och antal gripande, ökning av kunskap, bruk av våld, säkrare möten samt förändring av attityder och uppfattningar om psykisk ohälsa. CIT visade sig ha en positiv inverkan på hänvisning till vård samt har visat en ökning av kunskap kring psykisk ohälsa vilket bidragit till förändring av attityder och uppfattningar gällande psykisk ohälsa. Det gick att finna visst stöd i uttalandet att CIT inneburit en minskning av våld och antal gripande.A big part of police work today revolves around dealing with mentally ill individuals, and being able to do so is very important. An increase in mental illness in society has led to more police employees having to deal with individuals who suffer from mental illness. This systematic literature review aims to investigate how CIT can influence the meeting between officers and the mentally ill individual. Current research on CIT has shown a positive effect on improving the situations in which officers and individuals with mental health interact. These positive outcomes could be discussed in relation to four themes. Direction to mental health services & number of arrests and an increase in knowledge regarding mental health was two of the themes identified. The other two themes was use of force/safer interactions and a change in attitudes and perceptions about mental health. CIT was found to have a positive impact on direction to mental health services, an increase in knowledge and changes in attitudes and perception. Some support could be found for a decrease in use of force and amount of arrests after completion of CIT training.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the training component of the CIT model, a panel research design was employed in which a sample of 179 law enforcement officers and 100 correctional officers in nine Florida counties were surveyed on the first day of training (pretest), the last day of training (posttest), and one month following their completion of CIT training (follow-up). These surveys measured the extent to which CIT training achieved several officer-level objectives, including increased knowledge of mental illness and the mental health referral process, improved self-efficacy when responding to mental health crises, and enhanced perceptions of verbal de-escalation skills, mental health services in the community, and the mental health referral process. The results of these surveys revealed officers experienced a statistically significant increase on every measure of training effectiveness between the pretest and posttest data collection points. However, a significant decline was found among the 117 officers that responded to the follow-up survey on the measures associated with self-efficacy and perceptions of verbal de-escalation, which points to a measurable decay in the effectiveness of the training in the intermediate timeframe with regard to these two measures. To examine the extent to which the diffusion of the CIT model resembles a social movement in the field of criminal justice and to explore the impact of CIT institutionalization on the organizational structure of criminal justice agencies, an online survey was distributed to 33 representatives of law enforcement and correctional agencies known to participate in the CIT program in the nine Florida counties in which officers were surveyed. The results of this survey indicate interagency communication and external pressure from mental health providers and advocates largely contribute to the decision of criminal justice agencies to adopt the CIT model. In addition, the findings of this survey suggest criminal justice agencies modify their organizational structure in a number of different ways to internalize and institutionalize the CIT model. By coupling a training program evaluation with an assessment of diffusion and institutionalization, this study makes a unique contribution to organizational and evidence-based literature.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
Screening individuals for concealed knowledge has traditionally been the purview of professional interrogators investigating a crime. But the ability to detect when a person is hiding important information would be of high value to many other fields and functions. This dissertation proposes design principles for and reports on an implementation and empirical evaluation of a non-invasive, automated system for human screening. The screening system design (termed an automated screening kiosk or ASK) is patterned after a standard interviewing method called the Concealed Information Test (CIT), which is built on theories explaining psychophysiological and behavioral effects of human orienting and defensive responses. As part of testing the ASK proof of concept, I propose and empirically examine alternative indicators of concealed knowledge in a CIT. Specifically, I propose kinesic rigidity as a viable cue, propose and instantiate an automated method for capturing rigidity, and test its viability using a traditional CIT experiment. I also examine oculomotor behavior using a mock security screening experiment using an ASK system design. Participants in this second experiment packed a fake improvised explosive device (IED) in a bag and were screened by an ASK system. Results indicate that the ASK design, if implemented within a highly controlled framework such as the CIT, has potential to overcome barriers to more widespread application of concealed knowledge testing in government and business settings.

English translation:
In the course of the twentieth century, the representation of the relationship between time, narrative, and memory in French literature undergoes a change. Proustâ s A la recherche du temps perdu evidences the power of memory to synthesize separate moments through a work of art and embodies the thesis of Paul Ricoeur on the interdependency of time and narrative. This proustian synthesis becomes almost impossible for Samuel Beckett, George Perec, and Maurice Blanchot, who encounter the disappearance of memory preserved in the narrative space. Not only in the face of the spatialization of memory in the increasing development of mass media, which Walter Benjamin criticizes, but also in the face of the deterioration of space, the translation of a temporalized memory into a coherent story cannot continue.
From Proustâ s immense edifice of memory, to Beckettâ s invention, to Perecâ s spatial
preservation of vanished time, to Blanchotâ s désoeuvrement, the works of these authors traverse
the wide span between memory and forgetting in literature. This paper integrates these authors
who diverge in the direction of memory, on the one hand, and in the direction of forgetting, on
the other. This integration forms passageways that make possible the exchange between these
two ends. Communication continues in the gap where memory and forgetting are reflections of
each other.

Full textAbstract:
The past decade has seen increased patient acuity and shortened lengths of stays in acute care hospitals (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), 2005), resulting in an intensification of the work undertaken by nursing staff in hospitals. Changes in nursing work have also been compounded by the proliferation of health care roles, a blurring of skill boundaries (AIHW, 2001; Buchan & Dal Poz, 2002; Hayman, Cioffi & Wilkes, 2006; Jones and Cheek, 2003) and an aging nursing workforce that is predominantly working part-time (Creegan, Duffield & Forrester, 2003). Moreover, with increasing demand for acute care beds (ABS, 2005), there is simply not enough licensed nursing staff to fill current vacancies (AIHW, 2005; Duffield & O’Brien-Pallas, 2002).
Since 2003, the main response from the Australian government to the declining numbers of nursing workers has been to recruit more people to the nursing profession. However, it is becoming clear that recruitment alone is not enough, with shortages growing even as nursing school enrolments are increasing; therefore, it was timely to undertake a study to understand nurses’ perceptions of scope of practice to improve future efficiency in the nursing workforce by using the information derived to provide baseline data to guide workforce planning.
The specific aim of this study was to understand how medical and surgical nurses, from two Queensland hospitals, conceive their scope of practice in response to the available grade mix and skill mix of nurses—licensed and unlicensed—and other health care professionals in the acute care setting. By exploring these meanings, this study aimed to build an understanding of how nursing work patterns were shifting in the face of changing patient acuity, patient profiles and nursing skill mix. To address this aim, a constructivist methodology was used that allowed for exploration of nursing role and scope of practice. While the notion of constructivism best describes the main approach to this study, it was also naturalistic to the extent that participants were reflecting on day-to-day experiences.
The method used in this study is situated around the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) (Flanagan, 1954). CIT generates data representing experiences or perceptions of aspects of best and worst practice (Byrne, 2001). The researcher asked 20 registered nurse (RN) and enrolled nurse (EN) participants to discuss up to two particular significant events during which they were undertaking a patient care activity they perceived they should be undertaking, and up to two events during which they believed those activities should have either been delegated or undertaken by a higher level of care provider. Using the CIT in this way, allowed the researcher to gain an understanding of the nursing scope of practice and the interactions between nurses and other clinicians (Byrne, 2001) while also minimising pre-interpretation of the events by participants and focusing on a rich description of the chosen event (Flanagan, 1954). Purposive sampling was used to assist with the discovery of opposing points of view (Guba & Lincoln, 1989) with all RN and EN participants being employed on selected medical and surgical wards within two large hospitals based in South East Queensland.
Inductive analysis, a process for searching for themes within the data, rather than imposing theories on the data (Guba & Lincoln, 1989), was used. Analysis revealed that the nursing work environment was changing. This was causing nursing staff to question what it meant to provide patient care given the increased numbers of health care workers (HCWs) in the acute care setting, rising patient acuity, and increased patient turnover. RNs were struggling with the notions that ‘hands-on’ care was sometimes not the best use of their time, and delegation did not equate with laziness. Five themes arose from the data: (1) good nurses work in proximity to patients providing total patient care; (2) safeguarding patients; (3) privileging patients without mental illness or cognitive impairment; (4) developing teamwork strategies; and (5) picking up the slack to ensure patient safety.
Findings have shown that negotiation has become a fundamental aspect of nursing practice given the variety of nursing care providers currently employed in acute care settings. Previously, there wasn’t a need for nurses to negotiate care between licensed and unlicensed staff because HCWs were not employed in these settings. Negotiation has allowed nurses to redefine appropriate nurse–patient proximity, promote patient safety and find innovative ways of working in nursing teams. Practice negotiation will become a prominent topic over the coming years as hospital administrators struggle to employ licensed nurses.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail de recherche a pour objet l'étude des apports des pratiques d'utilisation des outils de gestion collaboratifs par les parties prenantes du processus de contrôle en gestion des risques. Face aux enjeux multiples pour réduire la vulnérabilité des organisations, le contrôle tient une place particulière. Avec le développement de l'informatique et l'accroissement des risques il s'est naturellement complexifié. Il est aujourd'hui partagé entre des acteurs humains (organismes de contrôle, industriels, services de prévention des risques, etc.) et non-humains (systèmes d'information, logiciels, systèmes de management, etc.), incluant ainsi la dimension de travail collaboratif. Afin de proposer une modélisation du système d'acteurs et des différents échanges permis par l'approche collaborative, trois objets sociologiques sont mobilisées : la Théorie de la Régulation Sociale (TRS), introduisant le concept de régulation, la Théorie de l'Acteur-Réseau (TAR), autorisant une étude asymétrique des acteurs et une maitrise de l'a priori, et le travail collaboratif, regroupant la collaboration et l'ingénierie logicielle. La conduite d'une expérimentation terrain et le déploiement d'un questionnaire sur les pratiques du travail collaboratif permettent de vérifier concrètement les apports des systèmes d'information dans le cadre d'une approche collaborative du contrôle. L'originalité de cette démarche réside dans la prise en compte des interrelations entre chacun des sous-processus du contrôle et la confrontation d'une expérimentation terrain avec une enquête prospective généraliséeThe current research aims to study collaborative working contributions in risk management control processes. Control is needed in risk management processes facing complexity. Indeed, IT development and risk increase led to increase control complexity. It is now shared between human actors (inspectors, industrialist, OHS department, etc.) and non-human (IT, software, management systems, etc.) including a collaborative working dimension. In order to propose a model of the system of actors and different exchanges allowed by the collaborative approach, three sociological objects are mobilized: the Social Regulation Theory (SRT), introducing the concept of regulation, the actor- Network Theory (ANT), authorizing an asymmetric study of actors, and collaborative working, combining collaboration and software engineering. To verify IT contributions as part of a collaborative approach a field trial and a survey on collaborative work practices were conducted. The novelty of this approach lies in the consideration of the interrelationships between each control sub-process and the confrontation of a field trial with a generalized prospective survey

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to investigate if the library can be a real partner for researchers in managing and dealing with their research information. In this study, six researchers have been interviewed about their problems with information management. This study uses the method Critical Incident Technique for the interviews with the researchers. This method focuses mainly on problems and what happens around those problems. The interview results have been prepared with automatic clustering and analysed with the help of a theoretical model from Minnesota University Library. This is a model of the scholarly research process described in four overlapping areas: 1) Discover, 2) Gather, 3) Create and 4) Share. The studies result gives that there seems to be no problem with accessing full text information, the problem is rather narrowing down the search to get enough time to read it all. The researchers do not find any search skills in the library that match their own search skills. On the question if the library works well as a partner, the answer in this study is no. The researchers do not see the library as a partner in working with research information, but only as a supplier of documents. When they need assistance, they turn to colleagues, students, email, and as a last resort, the library.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with dopamine transporter (DAT) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) ligands can visualise the integrity of the nigrostriatal dopamine system. Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the atypical parkinsonian diseases (APD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), have similar symptoms and dopamine depletion, but differ in pharmacological response and prognosis. Clinical differentiation between PD and APD is often difficult in the early stages. The aims of the thesis were to evaluate the differential diagnostic and prognostic value of SPECT in early PD, MSA and PSP, to map the pattern of progression with dopamine SPECT, and map the pattern of dopamine SPECT in non-affected elderly volunteers with a prospective approach. Also, we evaluated the methodological aspects of dopamine SPECT with respect to image evaluation tools, reconstruction parameters and gamma cameras. Methods: 172 patients, included in an on-going clinical prospective study on idiopathic parkinsonism, participated in the SPECT study. Also, 31 age-matched healthy controls (HC) were followed within this study. SPECT was done with 123I-FP-Cit (DAT SPECT) and 123I-IBZM (D2R SPECT). Regions of interest (ROI) were used as a standard method for semi-quantitative image analysis. Results: SPECT uptake ratios from different gamma cameras could be equalised through correction equations derived from images of a brain-like phantom, provided that attenuation correction was applied. The ROI method had high reproducibility. SPECT uptake in HC, measured with the ROI method and a volume based (VOI) method rendered similar trends, but gender and age differences in SPECT uptake were more marked with the VOI method, and less pronounced in DAT SPECT compared to D2R SPECT with both methods. The DAT SPECT uptake was significantly reduced in very early disease stage of PD and APD compared to HC. DATSPECT uptake was more reduced in PD with postural and gait disturbance (PIGD) compared to tremor-dominant PD. Decline in DAT SPECT uptake during the first year was more pronounced in PD and PSP compared to HC. D2R SPECT uptake overlapped between untreated PD and APD. After initiated treatment, the D2R SPECT uptake was significantly higher in MSA patients compared to PD, PSP and HC. Decline in D2R SPECT uptake during the first year was not significantly different between patients or compared to HC. Conclusions: 123I-FP-Cit SPECT is a valuable and sensitive method to detect early stage idiopathic parkinsonism. A different level of uptake between PIGD-PD compared to TD-PD indicates a prognostic potential. It is not possible to differ between PD, MSA and PSP in early stage with 123I-FP-Cit SPECT and no differential diagnostic value was found using 123I-IBZM SPECT in the early, untreated stage of PD, MSA and PSP. A different pattern of uptake of this ligand in MSA compared to PD and PSP during the first years of L-dopa treatment may, however, indicate a diagnostic value during the follow-up period.

This study focuses on researching the possibilities and limits of student authorship promoted through the use of digital Communication and Information Technologies (CIT) and of digital media. The investigation also analyzes the role of these tools in contributing for the development of student authorship in the educational process at one selected school. The purpose of this study resides in the relevance of the theme today since communication, production, use and sharing of information are increasingly more present in social and virtual relationships. Furthermore, there are few studies about the topic, and even fewer which analyze student authorship through the use of digital media and CIT. The context of study is a private school in the city of Sao Paulo, which has been developing practices with digital CIT for over 10 years. One of such practices is the workshop about production of multimedia news content, which is offered from 7th graders to the senior year of high school. This is a qualitative study that used focus group protocol involving eight students and the teaching team, which included the teacher, the school principal and two journalists, besides the application of a questionnaire with the students and a documental analysis based on the workshop planning and the students blog. Results showed that students exert their authorship with responsibility and awareness, with the help of teachers mediation. During the process of creation and content production, students exert their authorship both individually and collectively, which allows for collaboration and interaction among them. They frequently resort to digital media and CIT to express their ideas through a number of different languages, and for the creation of news stories - which requires the development of creativity, autonomy and a critical view from their participants. Hence, students are no longer consumers: they start to be the producers of information which is shared in the knowledge network of the digital culture. It also shows that exercising authorship is the type of practice that contributes to build knowledge with the students in an active and engaged manner and presents viewpoints that enhance the integration of digital media and CIT in the educational process
O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar as possibilidades e os limites da autoria de alunos com o uso das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) e das mídias digitais e analisar como estas podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da autoria pelos alunos no processo educativo da escola investigada. Apresenta, como justificativa, a importância do tema na realidade atual, em que a comunicação, a produção, o uso e o compartilhamento de informações estão cada vez mais presentes nas relações sociais e virtuais. Além do mais, são poucas as produções acadêmicas sobre o tema, principalmente quando se referem à autoria dos alunos com o uso das TDIC e das mídias digitais. O contexto da investigação é uma escola privada da cidade de São Paulo, que, há mais de 10 anos, desenvolve práticas com o uso das TDIC, entre as quais a Oficina de produção de conteúdo multimídia com caráter jornalístico, oferecida aos alunos que cursam da 7º série do Ensino Fundamental II até o 3º ano do Ensino Médio. O estudo de cunho qualitativo utilizou a técnica de grupo focal com oito alunos e com a equipe docente, composta pela professora, coordenadora e dois jornalistas, além da aplicação de um questionário para os alunos e uma análise documental, composta pelos roteiros da Oficina e o blog produzido pelos alunos. A pesquisa apresentou como resultados, que os alunos exercem sua autoria de forma consciente e responsável, sob mediação dos professores. Durante o processo de criação e produção dos conteúdos, os alunos exercem a autoria de forma individual e coletiva, o que permite a colaboração e a interação entre os alunos. Utilizam com frequência as TDIC e as mídias digitais para expressarem suas ideias por meio das diferentes linguagens e para criação das matérias jornalísticas produzidas, que exigem o desenvolvimento da criatividade, da autonomia e de um olhar crítico de seus participantes. Desta forma, os alunos deixam de ser consumidores e passam a ser produtores de informação, que é compartilhada na rede de conhecimento da cultura digital. Além disso, o exercício da autoria mostra-se como uma prática que contribui para a construção de conhecimento dos alunos, de forma ativa e participante e apresenta perspectivas que potencializam a integração das TDIC e das mídias digitais no processo educativo.

Full textAbstract:
With the increasing amount of police calls involving persons experiencing a mental health crisis (PICs), agencies are looking for ways to reduce the overuse of emergency services and criminal confinement. Police-mental health collaborative (PMHC) programs were developed to utilize the expertise of both mental health and law enforcement practitioners to provide immediate linkage to psychiatric services in an effort to prevent unnecessary involvement in the criminal justice system. The theoretical framework for this study was built on the sequential intercept model (SIM) along with the theories of social network and social support. The SIM identifies 5 key points where PICs can be diverted away from the criminal justice system. PMHC programs fall within the first intercept where persons with mental illness can be diverted at their first initial contact with law enforcement. Limited empirical research exists that show PMHC programs are reaching their intended objectives. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the effect of PMHC services on the likelihood that PICs will have future mental health calls (MHCs), arrests, and emergency hospitalizations (EHPs). Archival data from 1 midwestern police agency and online public court records was used in the analysis. The study employed OLS and logistic regression techniques, which revealed no statistically significant relationships between the PMHC interventions and the likelihood of future MHCs, arrests, and EHPs. However, significance was achieved for several covariates including transient status, prior history of MHCs, arrests, and EHPs. These findings will contribute to positive social change by informing policymakers and practitioners on best practices in community mental health crisis response.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Masters Degree(Chemical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008ABSTRACT Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) technology is firmly entrenched in the mining sector due to numerous advances in the last few decades. CIP technology recovers complexed gold in solution from slurry streams by contacting the pulp with carbon and separating the two by screening. The carbon-in-leach (CIL) process, where the pulp contains free cyanide, is closely related to CIP. Both these processes, especially CIL, are complex and are governed by a number of interacting unit processes. The overall process efficiency is dependant on a large number of variables, making the process difficult to optimize. This study uses simple adsorption and leaching rate equations in order to predict dynamic CIL/CIP plant performance under varying operating conditions. This will assist plant metallurgists to achieve optimum efficiency, highlight plant sensitivity to certain variables and will ultimately result in proactive process control. Various assumptions were made in order to keep the modeling considerations as simple and realistic as possible. The process was assumed to have linear kinetic and equilibrium operation. The process was simulated using Simulink in Matlab. Variables are solved on a time step basis by Matlab’s built in optimization algorithms. Simulation results illustrated that the use of simple leaching and adsorption rate expressions are effective for investigating dynamic plant behavior under changing operating conditions.
