Full textQuality has always been an elusive concept in information system design, even more so when dealing with the online-sphere. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and dissect the concept of quality and present a practical way to apply it to the design process. To do this, a quality-driven design model has been developed, focused around four crucial aspects of overall quality: accessibility, usability, navigation and interactivity. By utilizing simple and practical techniques and measuring their success in achieving quality, this study attempts to prove that quality can be harnessed as a hands-on resource, guaranteed in any design project involving a Web-Based Information System, merely by applying this model.
Kvalitet har alltid varit ett begrepp svårt att fånga och tillämpa, speciellt när området Internet kommer in i bilden. Den här C-uppsatsen har således som syfte att undersöka och bryta ned kvalitetskonceptet samt presentera ett praktiskt tillvägagångsätt som kan utnyttjas under design processen. För att göra detta så har vi utvecklat en kvalitetsdriven designmodell, fokuserad runt fyra kvalitetsaspekter: tillgänglighet, användbarhet, navigation och interaktion. Genom att utnyttja praktiska och enkla tekniker och genom att mäta deras effektivitet i att utveckla kvalitet, så försöker den här studien att bevisa att kvalitet kan användas som en praktisk resurs. Kvalitet kan garanteras i alla designprojekt som involverar ett web-baserat informationssystem, genom användning av denna modell.

Full textThis thesis considers the problem of creating and designing an architecture for a software project that will result in a system for treatment of depression on the Internet. One of the requirements for this project, named by Melencolia, is to create a system which can be extended in the future. From this requirement we have derived the concept of modularity. In order to create a modular architecture we have concluded that modularity is a quality characteristic of multiple quality attributes such as "maintainability" and "reusability".We deploy Attribute-Driven Design (ADD) in this Melencolia project. By doing this, an architecture that is focused around modularity can be created. Since modularity is not a quality attribute, but rather a quality characteristic, we had to change the input to ADD from a quality attribute to a quality characteristic.Furthermore, we derive and propose a new method for quality characteristic evaluation of software architectures.Finally we apply our aforementioned method on the architecture of Melencolia and by doing this we get an indication on how well our proposed architecture satisfies modularity.

Full textA current challenge for food chemists consists in developing safe yet appealing food. This is particularly difficult in thermally-treated foods, like baked products, since a great number of compounds may be produced during heating. While some of these are of health concern, others contribute to other key aspects of quality, such as aroma or color, revealing the need of considering reactivity into food quality design. This work deals with the effects of formulation and baking conditions on the generation of furan, a heatinduced contaminant, and furfural, contributing typical aroma to sponge cake. Moreover, a holistic approach was adopted, covering volatile generation, physical properties, sensory evaluation and consumer tests, both for further understanding reactivity and optimizing product quality. This work is certainly an important step towards the development of novel strategies for qualitydriven design of heat-treated food

Full textTest-Driven Development (TDD) is one of the suggested practices in Extreme Programming (XP). The mechanical is simple: the developer writes a test before writing the implementation. Thus, TDD is often seen as a software testing technique. However, many famous book authors suggest that TDD can help developers during the class design creation process, enabling developers to create less coupled highly cohesive classes. Most of the academic studies are interested on finding the difference between a TDDd and a non-TDDd code. Only a few of them discuss how the practice really supports class design. Even practitioners do not understand how the practice guides them. This work aims to understand better the effects of TDD and how the practice influences the practitioner during the class design process in object-oriented systems. To better understand them, we did a essencially qualitative explorative study, in which participants were invited to solve a set of pre-prepared exercises using TDD and, based on the gathered data, we retrieved details of how the practice influenced the developers class design decisions through interviews. At the end, we observed that the practice of TDD can guide developers during the class design creation process through constant feedback about its quality. These feedbacks alert developers about possible problems, such as high coupling or low cohesion. Developers then should interpret and improve the class design accordingly. This study also catalogues the TDD feedback patterns perceived by the participants.

Full textA indústria farmacêutica é uma das atividades mais inovadoras e regulamentadas, sendo a distribuição dos componentes terapêuticos no corpo humano, com a qualidade desejada, um dos grandes focos da investigação nesta área. Para garantir que a qualidade final dos medicamentos seja uma preocupação em todas as etapas do seu desenvolvimento, as entidades reguladoras têm incentivado as empresas a adotarem princípios de qualidade pelo design, o que promove mais conhecimento sobre o processo e permite reduzir os recursos necessários, o que, em última instância, torna os cuidados de saúde mais acessíveis para todos. Neste trabalho, são analisados dados experimentais do processo de fabrico de um medicamento genérico complexo, a ser atualmente desenvolvido pela Bluepharma - Indústria Farmacêutica. Estes produtos são conhecidos por implicarem um esforço adicional, pois o seu desenvolvimento envolve tarefas mais complicadas do que os medicamentos convencionais. Além disso, neste problema, pretende-se que seis respostas diferentes, discretas e contínuas, sejam otimizadas simultaneamente. Um novo método para identificar efeitos ativos em experiências de triagem é proposto, envolvendo o uso de regressão passo-a-passo com a implementação de hereditariedade de efeitos, modelos lineares generalizados e validação através do critério de informação de Akaike corrigido. Esta abordagem é mais simples do que as sugeridas na literatura com objectivos semelhantes e apresenta resultados muito melhores do que as técnicas padrão utilizadas normalmente na indústria farmacêutica. Além disso, alguns outros procedimentos são realizados para extrair informações importantes dos dados disponíveis, como o estudo dos melhores níveis de cada fator para cada resposta, otimização de várias respostas simultaneamente, análise dos fatores não controlados e a criação de modelos preditivos. A combinação de todos estes métodos permite uma maior compreensão do processo de desenvolvimento e fornece novas técnicas auxiliares, ajudando a atingir as caraterísticas pretendidas do produto muito mais eficientemente.
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most innovative and regulated activities, and the delivery of the therapeutic components with the desired quality is one of the biggest concerns in pharma R\&D. In order to ensure that the final quality of the drug products is a focus in all stages of the development, the regulatory agencies have encouraged the companies to adopt quality by design principles, which promotes more knowledge about the process and allows to reduce the required resources, and ultimately to make the healthcare more affordable for everyone. In this work, it is analyzed the experimental data of the production process of a complex generic drug, being currently developed by Bluepharma - Indústria Farmacêutica. These products are known for implying an additional effort as their development comprises harder tasks compared to conventional drugs. Besides, in this problem, six different responses, both discrete and continuous ones, are expected to be simultaneously optimized. A new method to identify active effects in screening experiments is proposed, involving the use of stepwise regression with the enforcement of effects heredity, generalized linear models and corrected Akaike information criterion validation. This approach is simpler than the same-purpose ones suggested in the literature and it was found to perform much better than the standard techniques executed usually in the pharmaceutical industry.Besides, some other procedures are considered to retrieve important information from the available data, such as the study of the best levels of each factor for each response, optimization of multiple responses simultaneously, analysis of non-controlled factors, and creation of predictive models. The combination of all these methods provides a better understanding of the development process and make available new auxiliary techniques, aiding to achieve the targets much more efficiently.

In recent years more and more fields of applications began to use DSLs(Domain Specific Language) to solve their problems. However, most of these languages were created without accompanying high-quality language specific editors(LSE) to help increase the productivity of the language. The reason for the lack of such tools is mostly economic consideration: because of the very high cost of developing a LSE from scratch, it is not worthwhile to invest a LSE on a less frequently used language. To avoid developing an LSE from scratch, however, most present tool platforms such as Eclipse, IDEA or NetBeans have offered required editor frameworks and APIs to help developers to be able to build LSEs on these platform more quickly and easily. Even so, however, it is still thought hard to develop a LSE by way of platform support since developers need a long and steep learning before they can get adept at a platform and, moreover, the process of developing a LSE remains long, tedious and error-prone. Accordingly, to enable even quicker development of LSEs, we proposed and have developed in this paper a high quality editing environment generating system called EGOE II, which follows the MDA approach and is the refactoring and enhancement of our previous prototype EGOE system. With EGOE II, the developer need only offer an editor-specific specification of the target language, which includes the grammar and editor-related customization informations; he can then apply to it the model translator and program templates provided by the system to automatically produce a high-quality editor on Eclipse platform for the target language.

Full textThe use of data driven approaches to improve processes in the pharmaceutical industry is still an under explored opportunity. Given the availability of large amounts of unprocessed raw data from formulations and manufacturing conditions of a product, there is a possibility to improve these processes by taking the most out of it.In the present work, this endeavour is pursued, by considering the case of improving the formulation for drug release through a polymeric matrix, namely the stability of this matrix throughout its storage time. All the activities were carried out at Bluepharma Indústria Farmacêutica S.A.The work developed begins by collecting and cleaning all the available data. Once all data is prepared, it is explored, both visually and analytically, to extract any relevant patterns of variation, check their quality and find out which variables mostly influence the outcome of the product.Once the most important features are identified, the process is modelled using latent variable frameworks, such as Principal Components Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLS).Finally, the model is inverted in order to provide a set of values for the used features that, when applied, can result in an improvement to the product’s quality. Guidelines regarding how to structure, integrate and analyse the collected data are also given, in order to implement this approaches more efficiently in the future. A quick perspective on the evolution of these approaches is also presented.
O uso de abordagens que exploram o potencial de informação contida nos dados para melhoria de processos na indústria farmacêutica é uma prática ainda pouco comum. Dada a disponibilidade de um grande volume de dados por processar provenientes de formulações e condições de fabrico de produtos já existentes, existe hoje em dia a possibilidade de usar toda esta informação para melhorar os processos associados.Neste trabalho procura-se avançar neste sentido, no âmbito do desenvolvimento de uma melhor formulação para a libertação de fármacos através de uma matriz polimérica, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à estabilidade dessa mesma matriz ao longo do tempo quando armazenada. Todo o trabalho foi desenvolvido na Bluepharma Indústria Farmacêutica S.A.As atividades começaram pela recolha de dados, sua integração e a limpeza. De seguida foi feita uma análise exploratória dos mesmos para que se averiguasse a sua qualidade, identificassem padrões dominantes e analisasse a influência que certos parâmetros poderiam ter no resultado final.Identificadas as variáveis mais críticas, procedeu-se à construção de modelos empíricos que potenciem a melhor explicação dos dados utilizados e os seus resultados. Em particular, foram exploradas metodologias baseadas em variáveis latentes, como a regressão dos componentes principais (PCR) e mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS).Por último, depois de obtido um modelo bem ajustado, procedeu-se á sua inversão de maneira a obter as condições de operação que, quando aplicadas, possam resultar numa melhoria na qualidade do produto a ser desenvolvido.Para além deste importante resultado são também dadas recomendações de como estruturar, integrar e analisar os dados recolhidos para que o uso destas abordagens se torne mais ágil.São também dadas recomendações de como estruturar, integrar e analisar os dados recolhidos para que o uso destas abordagens se torne mais ágil. É também apresentada uma perspectiva relacionada com o futuro destas aplicações.
