Full textThe ecosystems services approach has represented a hot research area in academia during the past two decades as it is an effective way of strengthening the connection between ecosystems and human well-being. Landscape services, as a particular way of ecosystem services, have been increasingly valued highly by researchers. However, the scientific and systematic general theory of landscape services is still blank. Landscape services assessment and mapping can effectively carry out the spatial analysis on a specific scale that helps to maintain multi-functional landscapes and plan urban green infrastructure. In return, green infrastructure can deliver a wide variety of landscape functions and services, which promotes landscape sustainability. However, there is still a huge challenge regarding quantitative assessment and mapping of landscape services to support urban / landscape planning. This dissertation assumes landscape services approach is a much better and suitable methodology than ecosystem services approach, so the assessment and spatial analysis of the supply capacity of landscape services would be better guide urban green infrastructure planning. Besides, the consideration of landscape services offers the possibility for including in the definition of urban green infrastructures a different type of areas playing different roles and supplying different services (environmental plus cultural). In order to verify the hypotheses, first, this study proposes the general theory of landscape services in the context of landscape, including identification and classification, through the case study (the Collserola Natural Park) that justifying in which situation the landscape services can replace the ecosystem services. Second, this study uses various landscape services (as X-axis) and different land use types (as Y-axis) to build a landscape service assessment matrix, which contributes to assess and map the supply of landscape services. It takes the Barcelona municipality as the case study to analyse the spatial distribution characteristics of landscapes services within the investigation area. Then, this dissertation identifies the possible spatial characteristic areas, which are the landscape services provision, barren and obstructed areas by overlapping the supply of landscape services assessment maps. Finally, on this basis, it provides a reference for urban green infrastructure planning by recognising the priority protected areas, new construction areas, potential areas and renewal areas. In these different areas, several strategies for urban green infrastructure planning and landscape planning are provided, including: (1) the protection and maintenance of the existing high-quality green spaces, landscape and cultural heritage in the priority protected area; (2) the protection of the existing cultural services and consideration of the demand for other landscape services in the new construction area; (3) identification and regeneration of new green spaces in the vacant lots of compact urban cores using innovative strategies (e.g., green roof and wall); (4) ecological renewal and restoration measures should be done in the renewal area. To sum up, this dissertation aims to seek a methodology to plan urban green infrastructure better based on the landscape services approach, and to provide a new vision to promote sustainable regional development by integrating the concept and approach of landscape services into urban green infrastructure planning.

Full textThis dissertation comprises three self-contained essays. Each essay uses administrative data collected by state and local governments to evaluate a market-based innovation in the delivery of local public services. Chapters 1 and 2 explore school choice programs that were implemented in the state of Indiana starting around 2008, while Chapter 3 is a national study of homeowners associations.
In Chapter 1, student-level standardized test scores are studied to characterize the joint effectiveness of three forms of school choice---public charter schools, private school vouchers, and inter-district open enrollment. Average test scores of all students residing in a school district are shown to improve when the share of students enrolled through one of these options increases.
Chapter 2 narrows the focus to a single school choice policy---inter-district open enrollment. Prior studies show that compelling public schools to enroll non-resident students weakens housing demand in communities with good schools, lowering their home prices. Indiana's policy of allowing public schools the option to enroll non-resident students does not exhibit the same relationship, possibly because schools selectively participate based on the local price elasticity of demand for housing (i.e., the responsiveness of local house prices to changes in demand).
Chapter 3 demonstrates how to detect homeowners associations across most of the country using mortgage riders documented in public real estate records. These private neighborhood governments are shown to involve a fifth of all single-family houses in the U.S. and 80 percent of houses in recently-built subdivisions. Houses with a homeowners association are estimated to cost 4 percent more than nearby similar homes with no homeowners association.

Full textThis thesis deals with the expansion, changes and spatial configuration of the service s sector in the State of Goiás from the 1999-2008. It examines the relationship between this expansion, growth and the desconcentration of industrial activity of the state, during this period, with a focus on spatial dynamics of these two movements. For that analyzes the characteristics and evolution of different types of services comparing them with the profile of the industrial structure and considering the movement of the polarization of the Goiânia city economy. It was verified that the spatial distribution of service activities in their expansion followed the path of the industry reveals, however, a greater degree of initial concentration and a greater resistance to decentralization. The research also showed a difference between the dynamics of the various types of services, revealing that the productive services, unlike the others, it had increased its concentration in the expansion, crowding, especially in the metropolitan region. On the other hand personal services were the most decentralized in relation to the metropolitan area, responding to population expansion and improvement of income in the emerging industrial centers of the state. The segments in the strategic location of knowledge-intensive industries, the most modern of productive services, proved to be the most concentrated. They had, however, some devolution, revealing that the industry of the state, especially the agro-industry, increasingly it calls for more sophisticated services. It was also explained that small deconcentration of services was limited, even more strongly that the industry in a limited number of municipalities. The relative distribution between the service activities in the municipalities is related to the type of industry, its expansion and diversification, degree of local roots, as well as the position of the municipality in the process of polarization of economic activities in the State of Goias.
Esta Dissertação trata da expansão, transformações e configuração espacial do setor de serviços em Goiás no período 1999 a 2008. Ela verifica a relação entre essa expansão o crescimento e a desconcentração da atividade industrial do Estado nesse período, com foco na dinâmica espacial dos dois movimentos. Analisa as características e evolução dos diversos tipos de serviços cotejando-as com o perfil da estrutura industrial e considerando o movimento de polarização da economia goiana. Buscou-se suporte nas teorias clássicas sobre o setor de serviços, decomposto em quatro seguimentos, e na teoria de desenvolvimento regional, para, posteriormente, trabalhar os dados referentes ao setor de serviços e da indústria, da Relação Anual de Informações, do Ministério do Trabalho e do PIB dos Municípios, da Seplan-Go. Desse modo, constatou-se que os serviços em Goiás, considerando a evolução das ocupações, possuem certa relação com a indústria. Quanto à concentração regional, dos três setores, os serviços possuem maior concentração espacial, superando a concentração industrial. As aglomerações empresariais dos serviços são articuladas e diversificadas com atividades específicas da indústria, principalmente com atividades relacionadas à tecnologia. A distribuição espacial das atividades de serviço em sua expansão acompanhou a trajetória da indústria revelando, entretanto, um maior grau de concentração inicial e uma resistência maior à descentralização. Os segmentos mais modernos dos serviços produtivos, estratégicos na localização das indústrias intensivas em conhecimento, revelaram-se os mais concentrados, principalmente na região metropolitana. A distribuição relativa entre as atividades de serviços nos municípios se relaciona com o tipo de indústria, sua expansão e diversificação, grau de enraizamento local, bem como com a posição do município no processo de polarização das atividades econômicas no Estado de Goiás.

Resumo: O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o acesso dos pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer bucal aos serviços de referência em oncologia, na região do Colegiado de Gestão Regional (CGR) de Campinas. Tratou-se de estudo epidemiológico, com desenho observacional, transversal com a análise secundária de dados. Na região do CGR Campinas estão habilitados 07 Centros de Especialidades odontológicas ¿ CEOs, com cobertura de 1.596.728 habitantes. A Regulação para os serviços de referência é feita pelo Núcleo de Regulação do Departamento Regional de Saúde de Campinas - DRS7. Foram analisados todos os casos de câncer bucal diagnosticados de forma positiva nessa região, no ano de 2011, no total de 26 indivíduos. Na primeira etapa foi realizado um levantamento exploratório dos relatórios gerenciais dos CEOs e dos Sistemas de Informações dos municípios e região. Na fase seguinte, foi realizado revisão dos prontuários junto aos serviços para levantamento de dados demográficos, fatores de risco, tipo histológico da lesão, local da lesão, data da biópsia, data do diagnóstico, data do encaminhamento para referência e da primeira consulta em serviço de referência, início, término e modalidade do tratamento (cirurgia, radioterapia ou quimioterapia) e a análise dos desfechos dos casos. Os resultados mostraram que dos 19 indivíduos selecionados com câncer bucal e localizados, 18 eram do gênero masculino (94,7%), 15,8% tinham entre 20 ¿ 49 anos de idade, 36,8% entre 50 ¿ 59 anos e 47,4% acima de 60 anos. O tempo decorrido entre a detecção da lesão e a confirmação do diagnóstico foi, em média, menor do que 30 dias para 78,9%. A regulação do encaminhamento se deu de forma prioritária pelo município (47,4%). Em 94,7% dos indivíduos, os CEOs não tem o registro do tempo decorrido entre diagnóstico e primeira consulta em serviço especializado. Os CEOs também não tem contrarreferência, pois desconhecem a situação atual de 52,6% dos pacientes Pode-se concluir que há necessidade de melhor acompanhamento dos pacientes diagnosticados com câncer bucal na região do CGR Campinas quanto ao acesso aos serviços de referência em oncologia
Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the access of patients with oral cancer diagnosis to reference services for oncology treatment in the regions of the Regional Management Collegiate ("Colegiado de Gestão Regional - CGR") of Campinas. This was an epidemiological study with an observational, cross-sectional design and secondary data analysis. In the CGR Campinas region, there are 07 authorized oncology centers (CEOs) providing 1,596,728 inhabitants with coverage. The reference services are regulated by the DRS7 Regulation Nucleus. The sample consisted of a survey of a total of 26 cases of oral cancer diagnosed as positive in this region in the year 2011. In the first stage, an exploratory survey was conducted of the management reports of the CEOs, and Information Systems of the Municipalities and Region. In the second stage, a survey was conducted of demographic data, risk factors, histologic type of the lesion, site, and biopsy data of the lesion, diagnostic data, date of referral to the reference center and first consultation at the reference center, date of beginning and conclusion of treatment and treatment modality (surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) and analysis of outcomes of the cases. The results showed that of the 19 cases of oral cancer selected, 18 were of the male gender (94.7%), with 15.8% were between 20 ¿ 49 years of age, 36.8% between 50 ¿ 59 years and 47,4% over 60 years old. The mean time elapsed between detection of the lesion and confirmation of diagnosis was fewer than 30 days for 78,9% of patients. Regulation of referral by the municipality occurred in a prioritized manner (47,4%). The majority of CEOs had no record of the time elapsed between diagnosis and first consultation. The CEOs had no counter-reference, because when the outcome of the case was considered, this had been ignored in 52.6% of cases. It could be concluded that there is need for better monitoring of patients diagnosed with oral cancer in the region of Campinas CGR regarding acess to referral services in oncology

Full textIn recent decades, a significant reduction of dental caries in children, however, rates of oral diseases in other populations remain high. In order to favor the access of all ages to oral health services at all levels of care, was established in 2004, the National Policy for Oral Health (Smiling Brazil), having as one of the main fronts specialized dental clinics (CEO), offering services to the population of secondary care. This study descriptive, survey, aimed to describe the profile of secondary care dental care, offered by CEOs belonging to the geographic area of the Regional Management Board Jau (CGR-Jau), located in the municipalities of Bariri and Jau, in period between the beginning of the activities of these units and December 31, 2009. We used data on infrastructure and service characteristics [type of CEO, the presence of Regional Dental Laboratory (LRPD), specializations available, source of referrals (for the level of care), frequency of attendance in each specialty, location of treatment required (if completed, not completed or not done) and duration of treatment], users\' demographic characteristics (place of origin, gender, age) and the flow of these users (source and destination). Obtaining these data was through the review of all records of patients seen in those CEOs and query the databases of the Ministry of Health of CEOs CGR-Jau offer specialties minimum required for its implementation, as well as specialty Prosthesis and are dominated by female users. The highest frequencies were found to care for Prosthetics (30.3%) and Surgery (35.2%), and the CEOs of Bariri Jau, respectively. It was also observed in the study period, the CGR-Jau municipalities that have installed CEOs absorb the vast majority of cases, and 98.9% for the CEO-Bariri and 72.99% for the CEO-Jau. The reduced flows, intramunicipal level, suggest the need for review by health managers who comprise the Board, the Master Plan of Regionalization (PDR), that is the instrument used to establish these flows, as well as the evaluation of possibility of offering such services at municipal level, aimed at responding to their local needs, thus guaranteeing the fulfillment of one of the most relevant principles of the Unified Health System (SUS), the integrality of care.

Full textThe purpose of this research is to examine the legal and institutional framework of financial services supervision and regulation in SADC. In doing so the study will probe the various models of financial services regulation with the purpose of discerning what each model sets out to do and how, in doing so, it effectively exercises its function. This study answers the question: Is there a model of financial services regulation and supervision that is legally sound and best embraces SADC’s circumstances? The legal soundness will be extracted by examining which model achieves the main objectives of independence and accountability to the greatest extent. The first objective of the study is to discuss the structure and operations of each of the identified primary models of financial services regulation with the aim of determining whether certain cardinal administrative law principles are upheld. Secondly, it then takes a practical look at how the primary models are applied and effectively work within some of the SADC Member States. Similarly, the study’s main focus will be to discern whether the financial services regulation models are ‘tangible’ when country dynamics are introduced. Thereafter, the study reconnoitres the possibility of SADC adopting a ‘harmonised’ financial services regulator and supervisor. It is worth noting that ideal as it may be; the author has no intention of prescribing one of the primary models but merely uses them as a springboard to ascertaining the viability of a single financial services regulator and supervisor in SADC. The objective is to assess how best SADC can deepen its integration levels in this area of concern. The ultimate result may very well be that such deeper relations are not feasible or that different components from the primary models be adopted to make SADC’s ‘unique’ model of financial services regulation and supervision.

Full textIntroduction. The magnitude of cardiovascular diseases and their representation in the health system, the importance of evaluation as a management tool and the recognition of the tracer condition as a viable methodological strategy for evaluation of health services and systems justified this investigation. Goal. To evaluate actions of attention to cardiovascular diseases as tracers of the articulation results at different levels of care in the regional health system, through the perspective of access and integrality of care. Material and Method. It is an evaluative research, based on the mixed sequential method, using quantitative and qualitative data. To collect the quantitative data, we used secondary data from outpatient and hospital information systems of the Ministry of Health, BR, produced in 102 municipalities of the region of São José do Rio Preto, SP, Brazil, from 2000 to 2013. Data were stored in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. For the analysis, the descriptive statistics was used, adopting frequencies and percentages, constructing time series that indicated the trends. In order to develop the second phase of the study, considering the analysis of quantitative data, we opted to choose the Regional Inter-Commission of São José do Rio Preto, composed of 20 municipalities, a micro-region with a greater population, a greater concentration of services, medical appointments, exams, hospitalizations and, consequently, greater coverage of the actions for the chosen tracer.Semi- structured interviews were carried out, which after transcription and exhaustive readings allowed to group the data in five dimensions. It was decided to deepen the analysis of the aspects that favor access, to focus on successful experiences. Research approved by Ethics and Research Committee.Results. In absolute terms, all kinds of medical appointments increased in the period; in percentages, it was identified a reduction of basic attention and cardiologicmedical appointments and increase in emergency service.There has been an expressive increase in the production of exams for early diagnosis and monitoring of users with cardiovascular problems, which reduces the risk of complications. Among the hospitalizations, 25.36% were surgical and 74.64% were clinical. There was a reduction in the percentage of the population with clinical admissions and growth of the population with surgical hospitalizations. From the interviews emerged facilitating aspects of access in the regional health system, grouped according to organizational, political, technical, economic-social and symbolic dimensions of access, distributed in categories, with related strategies and actions.The organizational and political dimensions were more cited by the participants, indicating as empowerment of basic care strategies, organization of care flows, strengthening of local and regional regulation, reduction of geographical access barriers, strengthening of health services evaluation, qualification and continuity of the municipal management, commitment of the state management, cooperation between managers, strengthening of the CIR, improvement of the regional agreement.The technical and economic-social dimensions were less emphasized, the strategies are concerning to the institutionalization of health education, commitment, professional profile and bonding, guarantee of the resolubility of care and provision of resources needed for health care. As to the symbolic dimension, there were no propositions, a fact that can be derived from the profile of the participants, professionals focused on management and little interface in the assistance. Conclusions. The evaluation evidenced an articulation between levels of attention in the regional health system, from the point of view of access and integrality. The regional organization had an impact on increasing access. The tracer condition was presented as an adequate strategy for the proposed evaluation

Full textThis thesis proposes a methodology to analyze the mechanisms of innovation in the service sector and their implications for regional development. This methodology is presented in three stages. As a first step, an analysis of the innovation process in the service sector is performed to better understand the functioning of innovation patterns and location choices within the sector. In a second step, a comparative econometric study of the determinants of innovation in services and industry conducted on the basis of Community Innovation Survey (CIS2008) data. This study provides insight on the one hand, the factors driving innovation in the service sector and, secondly, the main differences in innovation between services and industry. In a third step, a descriptive and econometric analysis of the determinants of innovation in services is performed for 31 French cities. This study allows to compare the impact of the determinants of different types of innovation (technological and non-technological) on the basis of local data.Finally, this work was originally undertaken on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of service activities, gradually focusing on Knowledge Intensive Service (IT, R & D, advertising, etc.) In view of their economic impact (in terms of employment and value added) and their relevance for innovation

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis is to determine the perceptions and expectations of employees at regional offices about the service delivered to them by central head office. A further objective is to establish what employees at regional offices expect from head office, attempting thereby to establish the current position of the head office (perceived image) in relation to their expectations (ideal image). The method of data collection is quantitative with a survey design technique in the form of questionnaires to be completed by all employees at regional offices in order to assess their perceptions and expectations. The basis of the theoretical and legislative framework of this research is service delivery. It is within the context of service delivery that internal customer service within the organisation, in particular, is conferred. The legislative framework is also dedicated to Batho Pele and the eight principles to highlight public service delivery. These principles should equally be applied when it comes to internal customer service. The main findings from this study are that employees and the four regional offices per se have different perceptions and expectations about the internal service delivered by central head office. This must be taken cognisance of because perceptions can be the core element of most organisational behaviour and the expectations that employees hold is important for the morale and effectiveness of organisations. The following objectives were achieved: A review of the policies, documents and annual reports to determine to what extent the central head office delivers an internal service to the regional offices. An evaluation as to how internal service delivery is being perceived. An evaluation of the ideal central head office. Established the shortcomings of the current internal service being delivered. It is also recommended that future research can be to ascertain how those negative feelings impacts on job satisfaction and commitment to the organisation and how it affects employee turnover.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die persepsies en verwagtinge van werknemers by die streekkantore, oor die diens wat aan hulle verskaf deur sentrale hoofkantoor, te bepaal. 'n Verdere doel is om vas te stel wat werknemers by die streekkantore verwag van hoofkantoor. Sodoende probeer om vas te stel wat die huidige stand van die hoofkantoor (waargenome beeld) in verhouding tot hul (werknemers) verwagtinge (ideaal beeld) is. Die metode van data-insameling is kwantitatief met 'n opname ontwerp in die vorm van vraelyste. Hierdie vraelyste sal deur alle werknemers by die streekkantore voltooi word, om hul persepsies en verwagtinge te assesseer. Die basis van die teoretiese en die wetgewende raamwerk van hierdie navorsing is dienslewering. Dit is binne die konteks van dienslewering wat interne kliënte diens binne die organisasie, in die besonder, toegeken word. Die wetgewende raamwerk is ook toegewyd aan die agt beginsels van Batho Pele en dus openbare dienslewering te versterk. Hierdie beginsels moet ook toegepas word wanneer dit kom by die interne kliënte diens. Die belangrikste bevindings van hierdie studie is dat die werknemers en die vier streekkantore as sulks het verskillende persepsies en verwagtinge oor die interne diens gelewer deur die sentrale hoofkantoor. Dit moet kennis geneem word want persepsies kan die kern element van meeste organisatoriese gedrag wees en die verwagtinge wat werknemers hou is belangrik vir die moraal en doeltreffendheid van organisasies. Die volgende doelwitte was bereik: „n Hersiening van die beleid, dokumente en die jaarlikse verslae om te bepaal tot watter mate die sentrale hoofkantoor „n interne diens aan die streekkantore lewer. „n Evaluering oor hoe interne dienslewering waargeneem word. „n Evaluering van die ideale sentrale hoofkantoor. Die tekortkominge van die huidige interne diens wat gelewer word is vasgestel. Dit word aanbeveel dat toekomstige navorsing toegewy word om vas te stel hoe negatiewe gevoelens impak op werkstevredenheid en verbintenis tot die organisasie en ook hoe dit werknemer omset beïnvloed.

Aqueles que o consideravam, no que respeita a inovação, como o sector vagaroso da economia, observaram o surgimento de um grupo de serviços com características semelhantes às das indústrias de alta tecnologia, com o privilégio de verificarem que, para além de inovadores, são também importantes elementos de interligação entre agentes económicos, permitindo quer a difusão quer a criação de novo conhecimento na economia. Esse grupo de serviços, que se denominou de serviços intensivos em conhecimento, tem vindo a desenvolver-se em Portugal, aproximando-se de forma gradual, ainda que com algum caminho a percorrer, de um conjunto de países mais avançados. Este desenvolvimento verificou-se, no entanto, de forma desigual ao nível de distribuição espacial, tendo-se identificado fenómenos de concentração regional em torno de algumas das regiões mais desenvolvidas: Grande Lisboa e Grande Porto. Condicionados pelas limitações estatísticas, procedeu-se ainda à estimação de modelos econométricos de dados seccionais, que com um carácter ainda muito exploratório, se verificou que o desempenho destes sectores em Portugal está essencialmente relacionado com fenómenos de qualificação de recursos humanos e da densidade destes sectores numa dada região.
The tertiary sector plays a lead role in the competitive development of contemporary economies. Innovation wise, those who originally considered it the economy's slowest sector, later recognised the emergence of an integrated group of services that shared similar characteristics with the high-tech industries, whereby in addition to being innovative, also became important bridging elements of economic factors, paving the way for the creation and distribution of new knowledge within the economies. Later known as Knowledge Intensive Business Services, this faction grew strongly in Portugal, gradually catching up - even if still in its infancy today - with other more advanced countries, however it soon became evident that it's geographic and spatial distribution was regionally disproportionate, tending to concentrate mostly around the more developed areas of Greater Lisbon and Greater Oporto. Restrictions imposed by statistical limitations lead to the development of cross-sectional econometric models and the information obtained from early exploratory phases estimated that the performance of these sectors in Portugal is still today intimately related to the categorisation of the human resources and the density of these sectors within a given region.

Investigar os óbitos neonatais pode ser uma importante estratégia para redução da mortalidade infantil e fetal, pois contribui para melhorar a qualidade da informação sobre esse evento adverso e possibilita a adoção, pelos serviços de saúde, de medidas para a prevenção de óbitos evitáveis. Objetivo Geral: avaliar os óbitos neonatais investigados no Departamento Regional de Saúde VI – Bauru, considerando-se os Colegiados de Gestão Regional, no ano de 2009. Metodologia: estudo descritivo e transversal, que analisou 162 óbitos investigados, a partir das informações digitadas no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade Neonatal (SIM-Neo). Os resultados são apresentados de forma descritiva e a partir de escore síntese que considerou a qualidade da atenção ao pré-natal, ao parto e ao recém-nascido; fatores de risco pré-natal, no parto e com relação ao recém-nascido e situação sociodemográfica materna. Para análise dos escores foi ajustado um modelo para proporções do tipo logístico, considerando Colegiados e categorias como efeitos principais e a interação Colegiados versus categorias. Resultados: passaram por alguma investigação 88,5% dos óbitos ocorridos e 67,3% tiveram investigação completa. A análise dos escores relativos à qualidade da atenção pré-natal evidenciou diferença quando se consideraram os piores resultados (escore menores que cinco), sendo o Colegiado Vale do Jurumirim diferente e melhor que o de Bauru e o de Lins. Com relação à qualidade da assistência ao parto, houve diferença quando se compararam os Colegiados Vale do Jurumirim, Bauru e Cuesta Botucatu com Lins, sendo pior a situação de Lins. Para a qualidade da atenção ao neonato, os Colegiados de Bauru e Jaú diferiram e foram melhores que o Vale do Jurumirim. Quanto ao risco do neonato, o Colegiado Vale do Jurumirim...
Introduction: Investigating neonatal deaths can be an important strategy to reduce child and fetal mortality as it contributes to improve the quality of information on such adverse event and allows for the adoption of measures for prevention of evitable deaths by health care services. Objective: To evaluate neonatal deaths investigated at the Regional Health Department VI (DRS VI) – Bauru by taking into account the Regional Management Collegiates in 2009. Methodology: This is a descriptive crosssectional study that analyzed 162 deaths investigated from the information entered on the Neonatal Mortality Information System (SIM-Neo). Results are presented in a descriptive fashion and based on a synthesis score which considered the quality of prenatal care, the care to delivery and the care to newborns; prenatal risk factors, delivery risks and those related to newborns as well as maternal sociodemographic conditions. For score analysis, a logistic model was fitted for proportions by taking into account Collegiates and categories as main effects and the Collegiate-versuscategory interaction. Results: 88.5% of the occurring deaths underwent some investigation, and 67.3% were completely investigated. The analysis of the scores related to the quality of prenatal care showed difference when the worse scores (scores lower than five) were considered, and Vale do Jurumirim Collegiate was different and better than those in Bauru and Lins. As regards the quality of care to delivery, difference was found when comparing the Collegiates in Vale do Jurumirim, Bauru and Cuesta Botucatu with that in Lins, and Lins showed the worst situation. As for the quality of care to neonates, the Collegiates in Bauru and Jau differed and were better than that in Vale do Jurumirim. Concerning risk to neonates, the Collegiate...

Full textDie vorgelegte Dissertation mit dem Titel „Entwicklung und Validierung eines auf Landschaftsstrukturmaßen basierten Ansatzes zur standardisierten Landschaftsbewertung unter Berücksichtigung räumlicher Muster“ behandelt die drei Hauptfragen I. Welche Ökosystemdienstleistungen hängen von der Landschaftsstruktur ab? II. Wie können Landschaftsstrukturmaße genutzt werden, um ein standardisiertes Bewertungsverfahren dieser abhängigen Ökosystemdienstleistungen zu ermöglichen? III. Wie kann die Regionalplanung von der Berücksichtigung der Effekte von Landschaftsstruktur auf die Bereitstellung von Ökosystemdienstleistungen profitieren? Die Promotions-Studie wurde im Rahmen des Klimawandel-Anpassungs-Projektes REGKLAM (Förderkennzeichen 01 LR 0802) durchgeführt. Das Arbeitspaket „Landnutzung“ wurde am Institut für Bodenkunde und Standortslehre der TU Dresden unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Makeschin bearbeitet. Die Promotions-Studie erfolgte im Rahmen des Teil-Arbeitstaktes „Integrierte Landnutzungsbewertung“. Ziel dieses Teil-Arbeitspaketes war die Bewertung von Klimawandel-Anpassungs-Strategien auf Landschaftsebene in Sektor-übergreifender Weise. Zu diesem Zweck wurde das Ökosystemdienstleistungskonzept als methodischer Rahmen gewählt. Der spezielle Anlass dieser Promotion-Studie war, dass landschaftsstrukturelle Aspekte in gebräuchlichen Ökosystemdienstleistungs-Bewertungsansätzen oft ungenügend berücksichtigt sind. Ein standardisiertes Bewertungsverfahren des Einflusses von Zusammensetzung und Anordnung von Landnutzungs-/Landbedeckungstypen existiert weder in aktuellen Planungsansätzen noch in Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfungen. In meiner Dissertation entwickelte ich im Zeitraum von 2010 bis 2014 eine methodische Grundlage, welche diese Herausforderung angeht. Meine Promotion wurde als kumulative Dissertation, welche aus drei Artikeln besteht, umgesetzt. Diese Artikel wurden in begutachteten, ISI-gelisteten, internationalen Journalen veröffentlicht, wobei sich das dritte aktuell im Druck befindet. Die kurze Einleitung im ersten Kapitel informiert über die Beweggründe und die Struktur der Dissertation. Im zweiten Kapitel ist die Forschungshypothese formuliert sowie Geltungsbereich und Zeile erläutert. Kapitel drei gibt einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Landschaftsstrukturmaße, den aktuellen Forschungsstand und aktuelle Forschungsfelder. Im vierten Kapitel sind die Modellregion, die Fallstudien-Gebiete, sowie methodische Grundlagen beschrieben. Das fünfte Kapitel fasst die Ergebnisse der drei Artikel (Frank et al. 2012, 2013, im Druck) zusammen. Diskussionen in Kapitel sechs reflektieren die Methodik kritisch und identifizieren ihre Grenzen und Stärken sowie den Beitrag der Ergebnisse zu Regionalplanung und Entscheidungsfindung. Darüber hinaus werden einige Empfehlungen zur Erweiterung des Ansatzes für weitere Ökosystemdienstleistungen, insbesondere regulierende Leistungen, getroffen und Perspektiven zur Anwendung für andere Forschungsfragen werden aufgezeigt. Kapitel sieben fasst schließlich die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Promotions-Studie zusammen. Das zentrale Ergebnis der Dissertation ist eine Erweiterung des Entscheidungsunterstützungs-Werkzeuges GISCAME. Der auf Landschaftsstrukturmaßen basierende Ökosystemdienstleistungs-Bewertungsansatz ermöglicht die Berechnung, Kombination und Interpretation einer Auswahl von Landschaftsstrukturmaßen und somit die Bewertung des Einflusses von Zusammensetzung und Anordnung von Landnutzungsmustern auf Ökosystemdienstleistungen. Ich wählte elf Fokusgebiete in der Planungsregion „Oberes Elbtal/Osterzgebirge“ aus um die Anwendung und Validierung des auf Landschaftsstrukturmaßen basierenden Ansatzes, den ich in der Dissertation vorschlage, zu demonstrieren. Mittels dieser Anwendungsfälle zeige ich, dass die Landschaftsstruktur die Bereitstellung der Ökosystemdienstleistungen ökologische Integrität und Landschaftsästhetik erheblich beeinflusst. Im ersten Anwendungsfall konnte ich zeigen, dass die Aufforstungsplanung durch die Einbeziehung von Landschaftsstrukturmaßen in den Planungsprozess verbessert werden kann. Vorranggebiete für Waldmehrung in ihrer derzeitigen Form tragen nicht zur ökologischen Integrität auf der regionalen Ebene bei. Landschaftszerschneidung, Biotopverbund und Landschaftsdiversität müssen vermehrt beachtet werden, um Vorranggebiete für Waldmehrung für eine Verbesserung der ökologischen Intaktheit effizienter anzuordnen. Der zweite Anwendungsfall richtete sich auf die Frage, wie Landschaftsstruktur die Landschaftsästhetik beeinflusst. Mithilfe einer Befragung verglich ich den auf Landschaftsstrukurmaßen basierenden Ansatz mit der Landschaftswahrnehmung von 153 Befragten. Dieser Test untermauerte meine Annahme, dass das auf Landschaftsstrukurmaßen basierende Vorgehen Rückschlüsse auf den ästhetischen Wert einer Landschaft zulässt. Der dritte Anwendungsfall gibt praktische Hinweise bezüglich der aktuellen Planungs-Herausforderung, wie Erosionsschutzplanung im Kontext des Klimawandels verbesset werden kann. In diesem Fall konnte ich zeigen, dass nicht nur Landnutzungsänderungen in präferenziellen Abflussbahnen, sondern insbesondere eine Änderung der Bodenbearbeitungsstrategie in Kombination mit verbesserter Landschaftsstruktur das Potential hat, die potentielle Wassererosion um 92 % zu reduzieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es von großer Bedeutung ist, landschaftsstrukturelle Aspekte in aktuellen und zukünftigen Planungsfragen zu berücksichtigen, da somit zusätzliche, maßgebliche Informationen greifbar werden. Der Vergleich der vorliegenden Methodik mit anderen Ansätzen, die Landschaftsstrukturmaße nutzen um Ökosystemdienstleistungen zu bewerten, zeigt, dass die automatisierte Interpretation der Landschaftsstrukturmaße mittels des neuen Moduls in GISCAME einen Schritt in Richtung Nützlichkeit für Planungsunterstützung geht: Transparenz, räumliche Übertragbarkeit und Flexibilität sind weitere Stärken des Ansatzes. Jedoch gibt es eindeutig den Bedarf den Einfluss von Landschaftsstruktur auf weitere Ökosystemdienstleistungen einzubeziehen
