Texto completoPressure ulcer are common complication and serious problem in hospitalized critical patients. The prevention has become a challenge for nursing. The goals of this study were: to decribe the characteristics of knowledge production about pressure ulcer from 1994 to 1998 in national and international publications; the identification of the risk factors; analizing the articles based on recommendations of AHCPR and definitions ans characteristics related to them. The analyse was done using a method proposed by GANONG in one sample of 47 articles, considering the same recommendations for prediction and prevention of pressure ulcer of AHCPR. Definitions, characteristics and risk factors for the pressure ulcer development related to a patient were identified, as well as the ones related to the structure of the institution and to the care process. It was found in the sample, a hegemony from American authors, nurses and physicians, who had worked in the hospitals. The main approach of those articles were pressure ulcer as an quality indicator. The results showed that the use of protocols, related to the process and to the care structure, which were develop from the research, are efficient to the pressure ulcer prevention.

Texto completoWithin the R&D program governed by the National Agency of Electric Energy of Brazil, a luminous faulted circuit indicator equipment (FCI) was developed by the Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz (CPFL) in partnership with the Escola Politécnica da USP and the company Expertise Engenharia Ltda. In this work it is presented a critical analysis of the technological route adopted for development of this new FCI, indicating details and justifications of technological choices adopted, and new detected possibilities for improvements, taken into account the technological advances in recent years. For such purpose, it is proposed a new method, associated to a practical systematization, for comparative analysis of technologies that accounts for quantitative, qualitative and strategic data directly comparable. The work presents analyses on the choices of fault detection principles and related functions, the development of integrated circuits and fault detector electronics, the power supply, the luminous signaling and the equipment case. As results of the research and development of the FCI there were obtained proof of concept, prototype and pilot equipments, the last ones certified and ready for sale. There were also obtained several publications in national conferences, submission of two patent applications and a software for optimization of FCIs allocation on overhead power distribution networks.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Netball is a fast and skilful team sport in which players need to be "quickthinking", because they are required to make fast and accurate decisions in ever-changing situations. Netball is a highly tactical game. Therefore the game has to be analysed on all levels of play. During every game or training session the coach has to look for those factors that influence performance and determine success. Methods of games analysis have been improved through the development of video and computer technology, in order to help coaches gather critical data. This study will utilise games analysis as a method for gaining insight into what kinds of "critical incidents" on a netball court lead a team to either score a goal, or to allow the opponent to score against them. Four expert coaches analysed game play from three top-level international netball matches in order to identify the reasons for success/failure during game play. A computer-based games analysis system was used to identify the reasons for losing ball possession during the same games analysed by the experts. The results of computer-based games analysis was compared to the analysis provided by elite coaches in order to determine the value of the technology in providing relevant information. These identified key performance indicators were then ranked according to frequency. Additional games statistics were generated, using games analysis. This knowledge will not only contribute to an understanding of how technology can support coaching, but it will also expand our understanding of the tactics of netball and thus contribute to coaches' efforts to teach players how to make "good decisions". An important by-product of this study was the identification of the key performance indicators that influence success/failure in netball. This knowledge should help coaches determine what kinds of tactical learning situations are important to include in practice sessions. It is the coach's responsibility to develop thinking players. On court - during a game - it is the players' responsibility to read the game and make instant decisions. Also during the game - during time outs and half time- it is the coach's responsibility to give the players feedback on their decision-making and to make suggestions for improvements. Both roles require effective analysis of the game. Keywords: netball; games analysis; technology
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Netbal is 'n vinnige vaardigheidspel. Spelers moet oor die vermoe beskik om in aanhoudende veranderde situasies en spel vinnige, akkurate besluite te neem. Dit is 'n uiters taktiese spel en daarom moet dit op alle vlakke geanaliseer word. Gedurende elke oefensessie en wedstryd moet die aftigter fokus op faktore wat die sukses en prestasie van 'n speier of span kan beinvloed. Met behulp van die verbeterde rekenaar- en videotegnologie is verskillende metodes van wedstrydanalises ontwikkel - met die doel om afrigters te fasiliteer om kritiese informasie te versamel. Die doel van hierdie studie is om wedstrydanalise as 'n metode te beskryf om kritiese situasies te identifiseer wat tot gevolg het dat 'n span 'n doel wen of afstaan. Vier topvlak afrigters het drie internasionale wedstryde geanaliseer om sodoende die redes vir sukses of rnislukte pogings in die wedstryd te identifiseer. In dieselfde drie wedstryde is 'n rekenaar wedstrydanalise stelsel gebruik om die redes vir balbesit of -verlies te identifiseer. Die resultate van die rekanaar-gebaseerde spelanalises en die vier afrigters is vergelyk om die waarde van die verskil in informasie te vergelyk en te bepaal. Die kern prestasiefaktore wat deur bogenoemde geidentifiseer is, is volgens rangorde geplaas op grond van die frekwensie waarop dit voorgekom het. Hierdie inligting sal as 'n bydrae dien tot die wyse waartoe tegnologie afrigting kan ondersteun. Dit brei ook die verstaanbaarheid van taktiek in netbal uit en bevorder besluitnerning meer spesifiek. 'n Belangrike resultaat van die studie is die identifikasie van die kern prestasiefaktore. Hierdie inligting kan afrigters in verskeie taktiese leer-situasies ondersteun. Die ideaal is dat elke afrigter sy verantwoordelikheid sal besef om onafhanklike, selfdenkende spelers te ontwikkel. Op die baan is dit gevolglik die speier se eie verantwoordelikheid om die wedstryd te lees en besluite te neem. Gedurende halftyd en na die wedstryd is dit die afrigter se verantwoordelikheid om aan spelers terugvoering te gee, asook aanbevelings te maak ten opsigte van besluitneming. Beide rolle, as afrigter of speier, vereis effektiewe wedstrydanalise. Sleutelwoorde: netbal; wedstrydanalise; tegnologie

Texto completoIn 2002, a joint harmonization project, the Norwalk Agreement, was initiated by the IASB and FASB. The project was based on the need to more easily compare international companies and to address the complexity of revenue recognition. The Norwalk Agreement resulted in IFRS 15, which is the new international accounting standard for revenue. The new standard, IFRS 15, will come into effect on January 1 2018 and supersedes all previous standards regarding revenue from sales of goods and services.The purpose of this study is to identify possible differences that may arise as a new standard of revenue is implemented. The study will focus on revenue derived from sales of goods and services and investigate the impact this may have on corporate taxation, stakeholders and selected key performance indicators. The study will also investigate whether generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden is affected. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, four theoretical example cases have been constructed that have been inspired by Swedish sources of law. These example cases have been analysed by applying IFRS 15 and IAS 18. The methodology of the study is a qualitative content analysis with abductive character and is a predictive study.The empirical findings of the study indicate that the implementation of IFRS 15 will give rise to changes in the reporting of goods and services resulting from a change of recognition. This impacts corporate taxation, key ratios and dividend opportunities, which in turn affects stakeholder relationships with companies. Furthermore, the findings show that a possiblechange in generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden is at hand.Finally, the study shows that IFRS 15 is a less principle-based standard where the so-called five-step model offers more comprehensive guidance than the current revenue standard IAS 18.This paper is written in Swedish.

Texto completoEn la medicina intensiva existe un riesgo elevado de aparición de errores médicos Éstos pueden producirse por un acto involuntario o por omisión, los cuales son más insidiosos y difíciles de identificar. Recientemente se ha desarrollado una herramienta para corregir éstos últimos: los Análisis Aleatorios de Seguridad en Tiempo Real (AASTRE). El propósito de esta tesis doctoral fue investigar el impacto de AASTRE en indicadores de estructura, proceso y resultado. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo multicéntrico durante 12 meses en dos Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos de pacientes adultos. Se realizaron rondas de seguridad tres días a la semana para determinar 37 medidas de seguridad (agrupadas en 10 bloques). En cada ronda, el 50% de los pacientes y el 50% de las medidas fueron aleatorizados. El impacto de esta herramienta se analizó en indicadores de estructura (cultura de seguridad, protocolos de atención sanitaria), proceso (proporción de mejora relacionada con AASTRE, PMR-AASTRE) y resultado (mortalidad, estancia media, tasa de bacteriemias por catéter y tasa de neumonía asociada a la ventilación mecánica (NAV). Se analizaron 1214 pacientes-día. Respecto los indicadores de estructura, AASTRE se asoció con un mayor clima de seguridad y con la creación / modificación de protocolos (sedación / analgesia y weaning). Respecto los indicadores de proceso, 12 de las 37 medidas tuvieron una PMR-AASTRE>10%. Siete medidas tuvieron una PMR-AASTRE>10% en los tres trimestres analizados. Seis medidas mostraron una disminución progresiva de la PMR-AASTRE durante el período de estudio. La carga de trabajo de enfermería y la gravedad del paciente en el día del análisis se asociaron con un aumento significativo de la PMR-AASTRE-B en la mitad de los bloques de variables. Respecto los indicadores de resultados, AASTRE se asoció con una disminución significativa en la tasa de NAV. Se concluyó que AASTRE se asoció con mejoras en los indicadores de estructura, proceso y resultados, mejorando también la adhesión a las guías de práctica clínica.
The risk of medical errors is high in intensive care medicine. Errors in healthcare may occur due to an unintended act or by omission. Errors of omission are more insidious and more difficult to identify. Our group previously developed and validated a new tool: the real time random safety audits (iAnálisis Aleatorios de Seguridad en Tiempo Real, AASTRE). It was effective in detecting and remedying errors of omission in real time. The purpose of this study was to investigate the AASTRE impact in structure, process and outcome indicators through a multicenter study. A prospective study was conducted over a period of 12 months in two adult patient ICUs. Safety rounds were conducted three days a week ascertaining the 37 safety measures (grouped into 10 blocks). In each round, 50% of the patients and 50% of the measures were randomized. The impact of this safety tool was analysed in indicators of structure (culture of safety, healthcare protocols), process (improvement proportion related to tool application, IPR-AASTRE) and outcome (mortality, average stay, rate of catheter-related bacteremias and rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia, VAP). 1214 patients-day were analyzed. Structure indicators: AASTRE was associated with an increased climate of security and creation / modification of protocols (sedation/analgesia and weaning). Process indicators: 12 of the 37 measures had an IPR-AASTRE> 10%. Seven mesures had an IPR-AASTRE > 10% in the three quarters analyzed. Six mesures showed a progressive decrease of the IPR over the study period. Nursing workloads and patient severity on the day of analysis were independently associated with a higher IPR-AASTRE in half of the blocks of variables. Outcome indicators: AASTRE was associated with a significant decrease in the rate of NAV. As conclusions, AASTRE was associated with improvement in structure, process and outcome indicators. This tool also improved the care process and adherence to the clinical practice guidelines.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since 2000, Chinese FDI in Zambia has steadily increased. Focused predominantly on resource extraction, China is now the third largest investor in Zambia, after only the United States and South Africa. As the title suggests, this FDI is recognized as relevant to Zambia’s developmental discourse. However, with general development indicators, there is challenge in establishing immediate causality between (Chinese) FDI and development. To address this, this study employs Capability Approach development theory, which utilizes a framework to evaluate social and political realities. Utilizing this framework, key indicators are used to look more deeply into the discussion around China’s FDI for Zambia’s development. There has been a great deal of speculation as to potential costs and/or benefits Chinese FDI may offer Zambia. As China offers Zambia a partnership of non-domestic interference, unique from Zambia’s traditional western syndicates, debate is raised as to what influence it will have on Zambia’s developmental progress. With challenges including limited information, numerous potential indicators to utilize, and a large number of contributing voices, the debate thus far lacks a means for evaluating the substance of claims made within the context of national trends. This study reviews and evaluates the debate within the framework of seven key socioeconomic and political indicators. While within economic growth and infrastructure expansion Chinese FDI are shown to indicate a conduciveness to development, FDI is not shown to be conducive for market diversification, challenging corruption, or strengthening institutions. The study therefore shows that trends of Chinese FDI’s relevance to Zambian employment and state dependency to be mixed and that assessments will need to disentangle various Chinese activities and will also need to consider contradictory effects.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert die jaar 2000 het Chinese direkte buitelandse belegging (DBB) in Zambië stelselmatig begin toeneem. Die groei is hoofsaaklik gekonsentreer in die hulpbron ontgunnings sektore. China is tans die derde grootste belegger in Zambia naas die Verenigde State van Amerika en Suid Afrika. Soos die titel van die tesis aandui, word DBB beskou as relevant tot Zambië se ontwikkelings dialoog. Aangesien die oorsaaklikheid tussen DBB en ontwikkeling nie maklik vasgestel kan word nie, word sleutel aanwysers gebruik om dieper in die gesprek rondom Chinese DBB ten opsigte van Zambiese ontwikkeling in te kyk. Tans is daar 'n groot mate van spekulasie aan potensiële risikos en/of voordele van Chinese DBB vir Zambië. China bied Zambië ‘n venootskap sonder inmenging in binnelandse beleid, anders as Westerse finansiering wat gekoppel word aan voorwaardes, en dit is wat die vraag lig; wat gaan die uiteindelikke invloed en effek wees op Zambiese ontwikkeling in die toekoms. Met uitdagings soos beperkte inligting, vele moontlikke aanwysers en ‘n groot aantal opinies, kort die debad tot dusver die vermoë om die waarde van argumente te evalueer binne die konteks van nasionale tendense. Hierdie studie evalueer die debat binne die raamwerk van sewe sleutel sosio-ekonomiese en politiese aanwysers. Chinese DBB word bevind om bevorderlik te wees ten opsigte van ontwikkeling in die infrastruktuur ontwikkeling- en ekonomiese groei sektore; dit word egter nie bevind as bevorderlik in terme van mark-diversifikasie, die teenkanting van korrupsie, of in die versterking van politieke instellings nie. Chinese DBB se invloed op indiensneming en op die afhanklikheid van die Zambiese staat toon gemengde resultate, en dat assesering verskeie Chinese aktiwiteite sal moet ontrafel en ook teenstrydigge effekte in gedagte moet hou.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sustainable development has gained great interest at global, national and local community levels. For instance, governments, civil societies, the commercial sector as well as local communities have responded to the agreed framework of UNCED known as Agenda 21, developed at the „Earth Summit‟ held at Rio de Janeiro in 1992, inter alia through the development of indicators aimed at monitoring and evaluating the achievement of sustainable development. As a result, different tools to measure the level of sustainability have been developed and applied in many cities globally. These include different types of indicators, namely environmental, social, and economic performance monitoring indicators, as well as combined indices. Since cities are dynamic complex open systems with interrelated social, economic and environmental systems, and sustainable development cannot be absolutely achieved, integrated sustainable development indicators that concurrently address social, economic and environmental dimensions are crucial to aid in monitoring sustainable development particularly in any given urban system. This study gives an overview of these indicators and indices. The South Africa government has acknowledged in both its National Framework for Sustainable Development of September 2006 and the Draft National Strategy for Sustainable Development and Action Plan of May 2010 that like other cities globally, cities in this country face similar challenges particularly due to urbanisation. In this study, the focus is on evaluating the sustainability challenges of the City of Cape Town and the role sustainability indicators could play in helping to achieve sustainable development objectives. This is supported by a review of the so called „sustainable cities‟ and in particular how the Cities of Seattle (USA), Santa Monica (USA) and Curitiba (Brazil) have tried to address urban challenges. To meet the study objective of recommending the type and a process of developing indicators that will aid in improving sustainability in the City of Cape Town, selected indicators and indexes developed globally, nationally and for other cities are critically reviewed. Selected policies, plans and indicators developed by the South African national government, the Western Cape provincial government, and the City of Cape Town are reviewed. The review aims at investigating whether the existing policies and indicators were useful in addressing sustainability challenges particularly in the City of Cape Town. The review focuses on the policy objectives to assess whether the policies contradicted or were supportive of each other, the existence or lack thereof of gaps in the policies, and whether local communities and other stakeholders were involved in decision making processes. The findings suggests that although sustainable development is addressed in the policy documents of all three spheres of government in South Africa, the implementation has not yet been effective – and the City of Cape Town is no exception based on published reports such as the State of Cape Town Report. On the basis of the lessons derived from the success stories of cities like Seattle, Santa Monica, and Curitiba towards achieving sustainability, several recommendations are suggested to assist the City of Cape Town in developing, implementing, and reporting on sustainability indicators.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Op internasionale, nasionale asook plaaslike gemeenskapsvlakke het volhoubare ontwikkeling groot belangstelling gelok. In reaksie op die ooreengekome raamwerk van UNCED, Agenda 21, ontwikkel by die “Earth Summit” (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), is aanwysers gemik op die monitering en implementering van volhoubare ontwikkeling deur regerings, burgerlike samelewings, die kommersiële sektor asook plaaslike gemeenskappe ontwikkel. Dit het gelei tot die ontwikkeling en implementering van verskillende instrumente vir die meet van volhoubaarheid in verskeie stede wêreldwyd. Hierdie instrumente sluit in verskillende aanwysers, ondermeer omgewings-, sosiale-, ekonomiese- en prestasie aanwysers asook gekombineerde indekse. Omdat stede dinamies komplekse ope sisteme met interafhanklike sosiale, ekonomiese en omgewingssisteme is, en volhoubare ontwikkeling nie absoluut bereikbaar is nie, is geintegreerde volhoubare ontwikkelings aanwysers wat sosiale, ekonomiese en omgewings dimensies gelyktydig aanspreek van kritieke belang in die monitering van volhoubare ontwikkeling, spesifiek in enige gegewe stedelike sisteem. In beide sy nasionale raamwerk vir volhoubare ontwikkeling (Julie 2008) en nasionale strategie vir volhoubare ontwikkeling en Aksie plan (weergawe van 20 Mei 2010) het die Suid Afrikaanse regering erken dat plaaslike stede, soos ander wêreldwyd, dieselfde uitdagings in die gesig staar veral as gevolg van verstedeliking. Die fokus van hierdie studie was die evaluering van die volhoubaarheids-uitdagings van die Stad Kaapstad en die moontlike rol wat volhoubaarheids-aanwysers kan speel in ʼn poging om volhoubare ontwikkelings doelwitte te bereik. Hierdie word ondersteun deur ʼn oorsig van die sogenaamde “volhoubare stede” en spesifiek hoe stede soos Seattle (VSA), Santa Monica (VSA), en Curitiba (Brasilië) stedelike uitdagings probeer aanspreek het. Ten einde die studie doelwit aangaande die aanbeveling van die ontwikkelingsproses van aanwysers en indekse vir die verbetering van volhoubaarheid in die Stad Kaapstad te bereik, is verskeie internasionale, nasionale sowel as stedelike volhoubare ontwikkelings indekse krities geëvalueer. Geselekteerde beleid, planne en aanwysers wat deur die Suid Afrikaanse Nasionale regering, die Wes Kaapse provinsiale regering en die Stad Kaapstad ontwikkel is, is ondersoek. Die doel van hierdie evaluasie was om vas te stel of bestaande beleid en aanwysers nuttig is, in die aanspreek van volhoubaarheids-uitdagings spesifiek in die Stad Kaapstad. Die fokus van die evaluasie was op beleidsdoelwitte ten einde te bepaal of: verskeie beleid teenstrydigheid toon of andersins ondersteunend is, die bestaan of gebrek aan leemtes in beleid en of plaaslike gemeenskappe en of ander belange groepe in die besluitnemingsproses betrokke is. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat alhoewel volhoubare ontwikkeling in beleidsdokumente van al drie sfere van die Suid Afrikaanse regering aangespreek word, die implementering daarvan nog nie so doeltreffend is nie - en gebaseer op gepubliseerde verslae soos die stand van Kaapstad, is die Stad van Kaapstad nie ʼn uitsondering nie. Na aanleiding van lesse geleer uit die sukses verhale van stede soos Seattle, Santa Monica en Curitiba in die bereiking van volhoubare ontwikkeling is verskeie aanbevelings gemaak om die Stad Kaapstad by te staan in die ontwikkeling, implementering, en rapportering van volhoubaarheids-aanwysers.

Abstract: Introduction: The quality of health care has been the focus of discussions and consequently of the development and implementation of programs aimed at improving services. You can not only propagate the existence of quality, it is therefore necessary to evidence it through reliable indicators. The purpose of this study is to develop indicators for assessing the neurological critical care patients. Method: a study that implicates a methodological development and validation of indicators of health evaluation with investigative content methods of obtaining, organizing and analyzing data, validation of tools and research techniques. It was developed from the point of choice of the critical neurological patient care. The validation process was done through the opinionated validation methodology, where seven experts participated in the analysis of content through an operating manual. Results: The opinion of experts included analysis and judgment of the Operational Manual of the proposed indicators, the content of each assessment item. The results indicated that all were considered valid if compared to the percentage of agreement (Content Validity Index - CVI) and to the relative measure of the representativeness and clarity of check items. Conclusion: Considering the results obtained in the study, it is possible to establish reliable indicators for evaluation of care and establish the proposed quality of service. The validation methodology provides an alternative to making reliable assessment measures. From theoretical prerequisites of the indicators to application control, it will support the quality of care while collaborates with the development of an intervention plan

Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) have been adopted extensively to facilitate the development of transportation infrastructure. The need for more efficient and effective P3 projects makes performance assessment increasingly important, especially with respect to stakeholder interests and expectations. Also, effective and efficient assessment of P3 performance is crucial to determine whether this infrastructure development strategy meets owners and stakeholders needs throughout the P3 project lifecycle. The absence of an effective and comprehensive approach to evaluate P3 performance can result in reliance on anecdotal evidence, which may inaccurately portray the outcomes of these projects. While numerous studies have examined multiple facets of P3s over the last two decades, limited emphasis has been placed on comprehensively assessing their performance. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to advance the state of knowledge of P3 project performance in the transportation sector. To realize this purpose, this dissertation performed three integrated studies. The first study examined the current literature to identify factors that influence P3 outcomes and metrics that measure them. The second study developed a performance assessment framework, which captures various phases of a project's life cycle and considers the perspectives and objectives of the range of stakeholders involved in or impacted by P3s. Further, the framework was demonstrated and substantiated using data from the I-495 Capital Beltway Express project. Finally, the third study examined four cases in the US market – I-495, LBJ Expressway, SR 125 (South Bay Expressway), and SH 130 (5and6) – to examine to what extent state, investor, producer, and user/citizen interests were fulfilled. The case study illustrated that I-495 and LBJ Expressway met stakeholder interests more effectively than SR 125 and SH 130 (5and6); I-495 and LBJ Expressway fulfilled their implementation, financial and service expectations whereas SR 125 and SH 130 (5and6) experienced implementation issues and financial distress. Overall, these studies support improved understanding of the factors that impact stakeholder interests in P3s and provide evidence of how well four P3s projects performed over time.

Texto completoOBJECTIVE: To quantify the number of circulating endothelial mature cells (EMC) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CI), and if correlations exit with risk factors, clinical stage and the number of cEMC. Evaluate the vascular structure changes (calcification and inflammatory infiltrate) and angiogenesis (number of capillary/arterial slice) of arterial wall. METHODS: Between 2006, may, and 2008, april, we’ve enrolled in a prospective study patients with CI scheduled for surgery. Demographic data, risk factors, clinical stage according to Leriche-Fontaine, type of surgery have been collected and stored in a database. For every patient 2 ml of blood have been sampled for immunomagnetic quantification of cEMC, so as a sample of the arterial wall. RESULTS: Thirtythree patients (25 males, 75,8%), aged 34-91, average 71years old, with CI underwent surgical revascularization have been enrolled. Twentyeight patients (84.8%) had a IV stage PAOD, chronic heart ischemia (60.6%), hypertension (72.7%) and diabetes mellitus type II (66.6%). The average concentration of cEMC/ml is significant higher (p=0.001) in patients with CI (cEMC=531.24, range 107-3330) than in control cases (cEMC =125.8, range 19-346). Also patients with diabetes type II have a higher concentration of cEMC than the non-diabetic patients (726.7/mm vs 325.5/ml vs.), with a p<0.05. Arterial wall of pts. with diabetes , compared with control group, revealed a higher incidence of complex arterial lesions (66% vs. 47%) and a lower capillary density (65% vs. 87%). CONCLUSION: cEMC are a reliable marker of vascular wall damage. Their concentration is higher in patients with diabetes, hypertensive disease. In patients with diabetes type 2 we’ve found a minor angiogenic capability with more calcifications and inflammatory infiltrate, showing a more serious damage

Mosallam, Ahmed. "Remaining useful life estimation of critical components based on Bayesian Approaches". Thesis, Besançon, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014BESA2069/document.
Texto completoConstructing prognostics models rely upon understanding the degradation process of the monitoredcritical components to correctly estimate the remaining useful life (RUL). Traditionally, a degradationprocess is represented in the form of physical or experts models. Such models require extensiveexperimentation and verification that are not always feasible in practice. Another approach that buildsup knowledge about the system degradation over time from component sensor data is known as datadriven. Data driven models require that sufficient historical data have been collected.In this work, a two phases data driven method for RUL prediction is presented. In the offline phase, theproposed method builds on finding variables that contain information about the degradation behaviorusing unsupervised variable selection method. Different health indicators (HI) are constructed fromthe selected variables, which represent the degradation as a function of time, and saved in the offlinedatabase as reference models. In the online phase, the method estimates the degradation state usingdiscrete Bayesian filter. The method finally finds the most similar offline health indicator, to the onlineone, using k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) classifier and Gaussian process regression (GPR) to use it asa RUL estimator. The method is verified using PRONOSTIA bearing as well as battery and turbofanengine degradation data acquired from NASA data repository. The results show the effectiveness ofthe method in predicting the RUL

Texto completoDefinitionen av ett projekt är att en enskild eller grupp av individer genomför ett arbete som resulterar i en, på något sätt, unik produkt eller tjänst. Vad som vanligtvis diskuteras i både media och i byggbranschen är den typ av projekt som du faktiskt får prata om. I denna studie kallas detta för konventionella byggprojekt. Det finns även projekt som du inte får prata om och som måste hållas hemliga av olika anledningar. Dessa kan exempelvis vara grundade i nationella skyddsintressen. I dessa projekt är integritet en av de viktigaste parametrarna att hålla koll på ur ett ledningsperspektiv. Denna studie undersöker arbetsmetodiken inom detta område i byggbranschen. Studien tar avstamp från traditionell projektledningsteori, och inleds med en genomgång av koncept såsom kritiska framgångsfaktorer (CSF), distinktionen mellan konfidentialitet och konventionalitet, nyckeltal (KPI) samt den klassiska järntriangeln. Studiens frågeställning är om dessa begrepp ter sig och tillämpas annorlunda i konfidentiella byggprojekt jämfört med konventionella. Är det några aktiviteter som är av yttersta vikt att de genomförs för att ett konfidentiellt projekt ska anses vara framgångsrikt? Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativ, abduktiv studie där informationsinhämtningen har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Totalt har ett antal om elva intervjuer genomförts med individer som deltagit inom någon form av konfidentiellt byggprojekt. Samtliga respondenter har representerat byggentreprenörer under deras tid i konfidentiella byggprojekt. Slutsatsen efter den genomförda analysen av intervjuerna visar att konfidentiella projekt inte skiljer sig avsevärt mycket sett till struktur på projektet. Däremot karakteriseras denna typ av projekt av en mycket högre grad av noggrannhet avseende planering och genomförande än ett jämförbart konventionellt byggprojekt.

O ambiente competitivo internacional em que estão imersas as atividades produtivas está baseado na capacitação tecnológica, na inovação, na flexibilidade e nas mudanças constantes e aceleradas. Tal cenário exige mudanças nas estratégias dos agentes econômicos e um aumento na participação do Estado no apoio aos sistemas produtivos regionais visando sua inovação e o seu desenvolvimento sustentável. Por isso, muitos governos investem na criação e manutenção de incubadoras de empresas, buscando fomentar o empreendedorismo, dar suporte aos empreendedores nos anos inicias do negócio e incentivar o desenvolvimento tecnológico de regiões ao redor do mundo. No entanto, o êxito das incubadoras e das empresas nelas incubadas é inter-relacionado e influenciado por diversos fatores, com dimensões internas e externas, estáticas e dinâmicas, táticas e estratégicas, organizacionais e técnicas, que influenciam diretamente na gestão e que garantem a sustentabilidade das organizações. O presente estudo, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, objetivou investigar a influência dos Fatores Críticos de Sucesso (FCS) no desempenho de incubadoras de empresas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Após a revisão da literatura, foram identificados 33 FCS para as incubadoras. Esses FCS foram transcritos como perguntas no instrumento de coleta de dados para a entrevista com os 19 gestores de incubadoras de empresas em funcionamento no Estado. Na entrevista, além de identificar a percepção dos gestores com relação ao nível de prática de cada um dos FCS, também foram questionados os valores de 5 indicadores de desempenho das incubadoras para os anos de 2012 a 2016. Visando alcançar o objetivo específico de analisar a influência dos Fatores Críticos de Sucesso mais praticados sobre o desempenho de incubadoras de empresas do Rio Grande do Sul, foi aplicada como técnica o cálculo do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson para cada FCS em comparação com os 5 indicadores de desempenho. Após a realização das quarenta análises, não foi encontrada nenhuma correlação com valor significativo, o que indica que não é possível afirmar, que as oito categorias de Fatores Críticos de Sucesso exerçam influência sobre os cinco indicadores de desempenho das incubadoras estudadas. Esse fato pode ser explicado pelo pouco tempo de existência das incubadoras, pois 37% delas tinham quatro anos ou menos de atividades na data desta pesquisa, ou seja, essas incubadoras tiveram pouco tempo de colocar em prática muitos dos FCS aqui questionados, já que, de acordo com Dornelas (2002) o tempo médio de duração do ciclo de uma empresa dentro de uma incubadora é de 2 a 4 anos. Por outro lado, pode-se dizer que, de modo geral, o desenvolvimento dos FCS das incubadoras gaúchas é ainda inicial, pois poucas se avaliaram como tendo processos bem implementados e maduros dentre aqueles que foram avaliados. Mesmo assim, a questão de pesquisa foi respondida e os resultados apontam que três categorias de FCS apresentaram os maiores níveis de prática nas cinco incubadoras com as maiores médias nos indicadores de desempenho, sendo eles: Localização, Pré-Incubação e Graduação.
The international competitive environment in which productive activities are embedded is based on technological empowerment, innovation, flexibility and constant and accelerated change. Such scenario requires changes in the strategies of the economic agents and an increase in the participation of the State in the support to the regional productive systems aiming its innovation and its sustainable development. Therefore, many governments invest in the creation and maintenance of business incubators, seeking to foster entrepreneurship, support entrepreneurs in the early years of the business and encourage the technological development of regions around the world. However, the success of business incubators and incubated companies is interrelated and influenced by a number of factors, with internal and external dimensions, static and dynamic, tactical and strategic, organizational and technical, that directly influence management and ensure sustainability of organizations. This exploratory-descriptive study aimed to investigate the influence of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) on the performance of business incubators in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. After reviewing the literature, 33 CSFs were identified for the business incubators. These CSFs were transcribed as questions in the data collection instrument for the interview with the 19 incubator managers that are operating in the State. In the interview, in addition to identifying the managers' perception regarding the level of practice of each of the CSF, the values of 5 performance indicators of the incubators for the years 2012 to 2016 were also questioned. Aiming at reaching the specific objective of analyzing the influence of the most practiced CSFs on the performance of business incubators in Rio Grande do Sul, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient calculation for each CSF was applied as a technique in comparison with the 5 performance indicators. After the forty analyzes, no correlation with significant value was found, which indicates that it is not possible to affirm that the eight categories of Critical Success Factors influence the five performance indicators of the incubators studied. This fact can be explained by the short time of existence of the business incubators, since 37% of them had four years or less of activities at the time of this research, ie, these incubators had little time to put into practice many of the CSFs questioned here, according to Dornelas (2002) the average time of the cycle of a company within an incubator is 2 to 4 years. On the other hand, it can be said that, in general, the development of the CSFs of the incubators in the State of Rio Grande do Sul is still an initial one, as few have been evaluated as having well-implemented and mature processes among those that were evaluated. Even so, the research question was answered and the results show that three categories of CSFs presented the highest levels of practice in the five incubators with the highest averages in the performance indicators, being: Location, Pre-Incubation and Graduation.

Texto completoThis dissertation aims to research the importance of success parameters in the management process of commercial vehicles\' development in companies established in Brazil, world\'s fourth largest market. The theoretical framework was based on five criteria of project evaluation results, described in the Diamond Model designed by Shenhar and Dvir, and in ten critical success factors (CSF) that integrate the Projects Implementation Process (PIP) modeled by Pinto and Slevin. For this purpose, a case study in a large traditional automaker was done through a questionnaire addressed to participants of product management projects. This research showed interesting results such as: (i) the profile of commercial vehicles projects\' participants, which are mainly engineers with large professional experience; (ii) the developed products main characteristics, as innovation, technology, complexity and limited term; (iii) the comparison of success criteria prioritization according to the their own opinions and what they think their company adopts and (iv) the prioritization of CSF according to their own opinions. In the latter two results, research has gathered interesting findings that, on one hand, confirm the theoretical framework and, on the other hand, show some differences as (i) the paradox of some senior executives who consider that the company adopts different criteria than their own prioritization and (ii) the importance of CSF relationship with the respondents\' profiles and their own main needs for development projects. Finally, this research brings contributions to academy, to business and to society through the proposal of the Professional Master\'s Degree in Entrepreneurship of the School of Economics, Business and Accounting of the University of São Paulo (FEA-USP), which seeks to research themes based on the professional world, underlies theoretical concepts with academic methodology and applies research findings again into the professional field. This brings the University closer to the business world and collaborates with a sustainable improvement of Brazilian society\'s productivity.

Texto completoThe democratic school management is seen as an indispensable element of educational quality by several authors and education professionals. However, they also recognize the enormous gap between a democratic ideal and the reality of school administration, especially in this case, the Brazilian situation. Given the evident importance of this issue to the national arena of education and teaching, this study aimed to analyze this dimension of quality from the case study at the Municipal School of Basic Education Alfredo Naime, from the city of Bebedouro, which has passed by the assessment procedures proposed in the INDIQUE (2009), prepared by the partnership: Educational Action, UNICEF, UNDP, INEP and MEC, which corresponded to the scientifically and methodologically perspectives of this research. For the analysis were used information of the Plan Manager of the school and especially the report generated by the Educational Quality Indicators process in the school. Were also made follow-school activities as well as semi-structured and unstructured interviews to all major actors from the school (students, parents, teachers, managers and employees) in order to collect opinions and perspectives of those interviewed on the subject. It was concluded that, despite restrictions mainly external, but internal too, to a democratic school management, the school actors of Municipal School Alfredo Naime showed that tend to a democratizing management. The other main finding relates to Educational Quality Indicators, that proved to be a rich collective assessment tool, effectively democratic and contributor to the school in various dimensions of education.

The aim of this research was to analyze the reduction of the concept of educational quality due to indicators produced from large-scale assessments, specifically from the Education Development Index of the State of São Paulo (IDESP). It was used as the empirical field the set of state public schools of regular education from IDESP, from 2007 to 2011. This delimitation is specially justified by the fact that the indicator does not consider the academic production for the educational quality and it is imposed to the more than five thousand state public schools. The central hypothesis is that it is one more tool used by the technologic based industrial society to support the ideology that the educational quality can be measured and expressed in quantitative indicators. The method used was the exploratory, in the phases of gathering and organizing information, and after that, the analytical. The gathered information - from official documents and repoI1S, produced under the State Board of Education from São Paulo ( EE-SP), and from a survey applied to a set of 20 schools - was organized in charts, boards and pictures and analyzed concerning the relevant technical characteristics of a statistical indicator and also about the possible implications regarding the reduction of the educational quality concept, having as a reference the concepts of technological rationality, formation and ideology as they were formulated by Adorno, Horkheirner and Marcuse. The obtained results show that IDESP is limited on its formulation, on its production and on its outcomes and goals achieved because they do not express the fullness state of each school, as the results show little change in the performance and in the approving rates of the schools
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de analisar a redução do conceito de qualidade educacional aos indicadores produzidos a partir das avaliações em larga escala, mais especificamente o Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (IDESP). Tomou-se como campo empírico o conjunto de escolas da rede pública estadual de ensino regular participantes do IDESP no período de 2007 a 2011. A principal justificativa para essa delimitação é o fato do índice desconsiderar a produção acadêmica quanto à qualidade educacional e ser imposto como tal para as mais de cinco mil escolas da rede pública estadual. A hipótese central é a de que constitui mais um recurso utilizado pela sociedade industrial de base tecnológica para sustentar a ideologia de que a qualidade educacional pode ser medida e está expressa em indicadores quantitativos. O método utilizado foi o exploratório, na fase de coleta e organização das informações e, posteriormente, o analítico. As informações coletadas - a partir dos documentos e relatórios oficiais, produzidos no âmbito da Secretaria Estadual de Educação de São Paulo (SEE-SP), e de questionário aplicado em um conjunto de 20 escolas - foram organizadas em tabelas, quadros e figuras e analisadas quanto às características técnicas relevantes de um indicador estatístico e quanto às possíveis implicações no que se refere à redução do conceito de qualidade educacional, tendo como referência os conceitos da racionalidade tecnológica, formação e ideologia tal como formulados por Adorno, Horkheimer e Marcuse. Os resultados obtidos apontam que o IDESP é limitado em sua elaboração e produção, pois não expressa a totalidade da situação de cada escola e, quanto aos resultados e metas alcançadas, já que estes apontam alterações mínimas no desempenho e nas taxas de aprovação das escola.

Texto completoWaste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is among the key urban mining stream due to its composition and rising volume. Currently, in the European Union, WEEE chain performance is mainly assessed by technical indicators that aim to ensure system compliance with collection and recovery targets set by the WEEE Directive. The WEEE Directive and French regulation target higher collection and treatment rates in the coming years. Therefore, to ensure an increase in quantity and quality of e-waste collected, reused and recycled, it is necessary to improve our knowledge and control of the WEEE flows. The goal of this thesis is to establish a robust set of indicators covering multidimensional aspects related to the collection and treatment of WEEE. These indicators intend to improve the visibility on the progress of the WEEE official schemes in a circular economy. Different technical, environmental, economic and criticality priorities related to the recovery of raw materials from e-waste are assessed. The indicators are presented and validated with a case study focused on waste screens, considering data and particularities of the e-waste chain in France. The multidimensional approach presented in this study can support future policies and best practices in WEEE management in order to improve e-waste tracking and the recovery of (critical) raw materials. In so doing, more targeted WEEE management activities have the potential to extend the scope from waste and hazardous substances management to enhancing the supply of quality secondary raw materials

Texto completoIntroduction: Known since Hippocrates times, varicella is self-limited and complication-free in most cases, but it responds to school and labor absenteeism of children and caregivers, as well as previously healthy patients hospitalizations and deaths. After varicella vaccine was recommended for routine use in United States in 1995, several countries reviewed their epidemiology for cost-benefit analysis of vaccination; some of then published vaccine impact results. Brazil included varicella vaccine in immunization routine for 15 months child in 2013 and has been appraising its impact. Objectives: Improve pre-vaccination data from secondary care university hospital describing pediatric urgent care (PUC) assessment, inpatient department and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) hospitalizations; define age profile, seasonality and varicella complications diagnoses and analyze hospitalization and severe evolution possible risk factors. Methods: This report is aimed to retrospectively discriminate children and adolescents under 15 years with varicella from January 2003 to December 2012. Local population was considered to propose varicella-related PUC visit, hospitalization, PICU stay and death rates. Hospital registration provided computerized varicella-diagnosed PUC assessment, inpatient and PICU patient list; data collected from its charts were submitted to statistical program analysis. Results: 8520 PUC varicella cases were reported, 508 of them (6.0%) were hospitalized, 36 of them (7.1%) required PICU and 2 died (0.4% of hospitalized patients), providing following annual rates: 887.5 assessments, 52.9 hospitalizations, 3.8 PICU admissions and 0.21 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants up to 15 years. Children younger than 5 years accounted for 75% of PUC visits, 92.3% of hospitalizations and 88.9% of PICU admissions. Infants between 12 and 15 months represented 4.5% of PUC visits, 6.5% of hospitalizations and 6.1% of PICU admissions. Second half of the year accounted 89.4% of PUC attendances. Under 5 years PUC child had 4.3 more hospitalization risk than those older than 5 years, but age did not represent difference in PICU risk. Skin and soft tissue infections caused 72.6% of hospitalizations, while respiratory and neurological problems accounted for 20.1% and 1%, respectively. The main reason for PICU indication was hemodynamic instability; 58.3% required vasoactive drugs. Comparing those who needed PICU and those who did not need them, the former had longer time of varicella on admission, longer fever after hospitalization, greater absolute and relative amount of neutrophils and their young forms, higher C-reactive protein levels and reduced platelets in admission exams. Conclusion: epidemiological rates verified in this study were within described in literature; secondary skin infections and soft tissues in varicella, without specific ICD-10, overcome complications as pneumopathy, meningitis, and encephalitis, which have specific descriptors; anamnesis and admission examinations data may help predict severity

Texto completoThe debate surrounding the use of IT and its consequences for companies is still incomplete. Since the Productivity Paradox (BRYNJOLFSSON, 1993), the positive influence of IT on large companies has been shown, and only recently has research regarding small and medium companies been developed. The need for further understanding the appropriate use of IT, the lack of research about Brazilian capital goods industry, and the sectors recent growth in the countrys economy are the main reasons to develop this work. To set forth this investigation, quantitative techniques were used, like statistical correlation and Data Envelopment Analysis, as well as factor analysis, following the sequence: concept definitions; use of appropriate methodology to analyze capital goods companies Success Critical Factors and Performance Indicators; determine DEA model inputs and outputs; elaborate computer information factors; elaborate constructs to apply two stages DEA technique; prepare a questionnaire and send it to the companies electronically; analyze received data; develop a descriptive analysis; develop factor analysis for the computer information factors; main indicators and variables correlation analysis; apply DEA technique for global, first stage and second stage constructs; efficiency results analysis; and correlation analysis between efficiency indexes and computer information factors. The questionnaire was previously tested with three different companies, and was revised and simplified by the Machines and Equipment Brazilian Industry Association (ABIMAQ). The mailing provided by the association contained 3,833 companies, including non-associate ABIMAQ ones. The questionnaire and its answers were transmitted through Universidade de São Paulo electronic mail. From the population, mainly composed by made to order micro and small companies, 80 responded, and 28 attended the needs to be tested on DEA model. Among the most important obtained results are: the positive association between companies size and best practices, the relation between executive participation and computer information factors, the correlation between computer information factors and operating efficiency, smaller companies ability to better convert use of IT into operating efficiency, and larger companies superior ability to convert success critical factors into financial efficiency.

Texto completoThe identification of risk situations is essential in the process of MSD prevention: this identification called "MSD risk assessment" relies on the "simple" risk assessment tools to target critical situations. This thesis focuses on the difficulties of using simple tools in the initial phase of the MSD prevention process. This study, therefore, investigates the contribution of the field of ergonomics of activity and in particular Situational Operational Leeway (SOL) for MSD risk assessment tools. We identified and listed the SOL indicators based on the human-centered model of activity (Vézina, 2001), and then we analyzed the presence of these indicators in the simple tools with a self-developed checklist. Nine simple tools were used to assess a sample of 10 work stations in the manufacturing industry in France. Moreover, a list of indicators derived from three components of the human centered model of activity was proposed to explore the sufficiency of SOL in those work stations.The findings showed that the simple tools do not consider SOL indicators during an assessment and the various assessments with ten simple tools produced different results on the same work station. In general, the SOL indicators estimated the level of MSD risk lower than the evaluation of the simple tools. The SOL proposes to consider the resources available to the operator to interact with work situations and its challenges.Therefore, the difference between the assessments by the simple tools and the SOL indicators might be related to the focus of simple tools (oriented on constraints).This study showed that the SOL indicators could provide complementary information to that obtained by simple tools. These results propose a risk assessment approach that uses SOL sufficiency to target critical situations

Texto completoThe 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) bring together environmental, social and economic concerns. They therefore have the potential to move society away from the dominant model of prosperity as purely economic toward a more holistic and ‘sustainable’ prosperity. But, the success of such a transformative agenda rests on its implementation. At the heart of planned implementation of the SDGs is a set of 230 indicators. Indicators have been strongly critiqued in a range of literatures. However, in the context of the SDGs, indicators have been described as ‘essential’ with little critical assessment of their role in implementation. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide this critical voice. To do this, the chapter reviews critiques of indicators from sustainability science, anthropology and sociology and provides illustrative cases of indicators implementation. From this review we are able to draw lessons for the use of indicators in SDG implementation. Specifically, the chapter argues that indicators are reductionist and struggle with contested concepts. Nevertheless, by making the operationalisation of concepts visible and enabling quantified analysis, indicators can have a useful role in SDG implementation. However, this requires that indicator critiques are taken seriously and inform indicator use.
