Com o intuito de desenvolver esta idéia, no caso específico da informação necessária para a patrimonialização de um bem, apresentamos uma discussão geral sobre a definição do patrimônio e as instituições que o legalizam. Num segundo momento, focamos nossa observação sobre uma interpretação do documento, no caso, do documento como coisa. Feitas essas considerações passamos a analisar um bem arquitetônico específico: a casa do Presidente Prudente de Moraes localizada na cidade de Piracicaba/SP. Para essa análise, entendemos que deveria ser considerada a construção da imagem da personagem, assim como a descrição do espaço ao qual esteve vinculada. Finalmente, comparamos os processos de tombamento feitos por três instâncias preservacionistas: o IPHAN, o CONDEPHAAT e o CODEPAC. O intuito desta comparação foi evidenciar de que forma é o documento, entendido como um espaço de formas de poder e de materialização de valores, que determina o próprio patrimônio, e não o contrário, como comumente se pensa. / The present work comes from an initial inquiry about the materialization of the information. With the intention of developing this idea, in the specific case of the necessary information for transforming a good into a patrimony, we present a general discussion about the definition of the patrimony and the institutions that legalize it. In a second moment, we focate our observation on an interpretation of the document, in this case, of the document as thing. Made these considerations we start to analyze a specific architectural good: President Prudente de Moraes‟ house located in the city of Piracicaba/SP. For this analysis, we understand that it should be considered the construction of the character's image, as well as the description of the space to which it was linked. Finally, we compare the patrimonial processes done by three preservationist instances: IPHAN, CONDEPHAAT and CODEPAC. The intention of this comparison was to evidence what form has the document that, considered as a space of power forms and of materialization of values, it determines the own patrimony, and not the opposite, as commonly is thought.

In this thesis I explore the role and significance of editorial illustration, developed in printed publications and evolving within online publishing structures. Editorial illustration has a long tradition of illustrating stories in news publications, but I argue that in current online news websites its particular role has all but failed. Online publishing has become the driving force within editorial publishing and this raises the question whether, and how, editorial illustration can continue to be a successful constituent in an online publishing environment? I argue that the continuation of editorial illustration lies within digitally native narrative forms, from online interactive documentaries, game-based storytelling, data-visualisation to memes: viral images spread through social media. Within these forms the significance and agency of illustration is not only clearly present but evolving, except here illustration is interwoven with the story. I argue that these forms of illustration, as well as printed illustration, are based on the same conceptual model and articulate editorial illustration’s inherent attributes. I propose a constellation of four attributes (manifestation, translation, reflection, and engagement) that together give rise to the key quality that illustration offers to the reader, deliberation. Illustration should not be understood as a separate artifact, positioned next to a text, but as a multimodal practice, always related to a story, enabled by the specific qualities of its contextualizing medium. As practice-led research, the thesis explores this proposition in practice and theory within printed and online forms of editorial illustration and in relation to online media technologies and material properties. Central is the development of a potential method of online editorial illustration that I call data driven illustration, a formation employing the material and semiotic expressive potential of live data and code. The research draws primarily from the ideas of media materiality (Hayles, Kittler, Manovich), but in doing so is supplemented with other relevant theories found in semiotics (Barthes, Hayles, Kress and van Leeuwen) and audience reception (Hall). This interdisciplinary approach is applied to the field of illustration through a historical study of wood-engraved news illustration in the Illustrated London News; through my own practice as an illustrator, in this case, work undertaken for the NRC newspaper; and explorations of various examples of online illustration. This thesis offers a first step in constructing a framework for editorial illustration, to move beyond the print paradigm and provide a language through which to explore illustration as an emergent practice.

abstract: As technology has advanced in recent years, tablet devices have started to make their way into all walks of life. Yet, many medical documentation processes still see the use of paper. Though the paper based documentation method has been shown to be effective for some purposes, the introduction of tablet devices has the potential to make the documentation processes a lot smoother. In this thesis, tablet based documentation systems are reviewed, and based on this, a new custom application is developed that medical staff can use with ease. This new application, developed for an iPad is one where users can fully customize their own forms for different uses in the intensive care unit for resuscitation scenarios. The thesis discusses the architecture behind this application along with designing different elements of the system. Through this thesis project, the application was evaluated to see if such a complex documentation process can be easily used and created on a tablet device. The medical staff surveyed, responded positively to the use of the application and agreed that the electronic documentation usage and creation is a powerful tool that could help improve resuscitation practice by making it more efficient. / Dissertation/Thesis / Survey Responses / Masters Thesis Engineering 2016

The potential to share and re-use qualitative archived data has garnered much interest in recent years. This increased attention can be attributed mainly to advances in both data documentation standards and digital archiving technologies, which provide users with the ability to archive, share and disseminate qualitative research materials. However, there remain theoretical and epistemological barriers to and implications for the sharing and re-use of qualitative study data. One way to address these issues is by studying research practices (with practitioners’ active involvement), in combination with developing software tools that support digital archiving of qualitative studies. Semantic technologies, combined with metadata standards and documentation schemas have the potential to enhance qualitative data documentation, archiving and analysis. In fact, it has been established that data documentation is one of the key elements that enables data archiving. The use of appropriate standard documentation frameworks is crucial to data archives’ exposure and has a direct impact on the discoverability, search and retrieval of archived data. The technological aspect of this study has been the development of a self-archiving toolkit that makes use of such technologies. The purpose of this work was to allow users, with varying levels of research experience (e.g. from undergraduate student researchers up to more experienced senior researchers) to avail of the benefits offered by qualitative digital archiving. To complement the technological developments undertaken, the present study also explored the practices of different researchers: undergraduate student researchers, researchers involved in teaching research-oriented modules, as well as senior researchers. This exploration focused on the collection, organisation, analysis and presentation of qualitative data and how these relate to and can be supported by digital archiving to enable researchers to organise, disseminate, and visualise research collections.

Por meio desta análise criteriosa na qualificação de um procedimento de soldagem, o procedimento é liberado para ser utilizado, seja qual for o objetivo final da soldagem. Apenas com a Especificação do Procedimento de Soldagem (EPS) qualificada em mãos é possível iniciar os trabalhos de soldagem, e caso esta seja seguida integralmente, o sucesso do processo está a um passo de se concretizar. Para demonstração desta interação existente entre qualificação, análise dos resultados, aprovação dos ensaios e aprovação da especificação, foi desenvolvido este trabalho utilizando o material de base na forma tubular API 5L Gr. B soldado com os processos eletrodo revestido (SMAW) e arame tubular autoprotegido (FCAW-S). Foi utilizada uma junta tubular como exemplo de estudo e qualificação de um procedimento de soldagem baseado na documentação contida na norma da Petrobrás N-2301 e em outros códigos e normas, que regem a qualificação do processo de soldagem utilizado em refinarias e plantas de produção brasileiras. Foram estudados em conjunto os resultados obtidos por meio de ensaios mecânicos, ensaios não destrutivos e microestruturais. Ambas as Especificações dos Procedimentos de Soldagem preliminares (pEPS), estabelecidas antes do início da soldagem dos dois processos de soldagem, foram aprovadas e qualificadas, satisfazendo as características macro e microscópicas, metalúrgicas e mecânicas da junta soldada. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Neste contexto, o teste é reconhecido como um processo fundamental para alcançar este objetivo; entretanto, testar software sistematicamente não é uma tarefa trivial. Para que o teste tenha efetividade e eficácia, além dos aspectos relacionados à avaliação do software, ele deve fazer uso de documentação de boa qualidade: toda a informação registrada deve estar atualizada e consistente; além disso, informação associada deve ser rastreável. É proposto um modelo de rastreabilidade para a informação contida na documentação do processo de teste; o modelo de dados desenvolvido dá suporte tanto à documentação baseada na norma IEEE Std 829-1998, como à rastreabilidade de toda informação associada; um protótipo de ferramenta foi desenvolvido para implementar o modelo de dados e o modelo de rastreabilidade. / Abstract: Software plays a key role in many applications and quality of software products is crucial in the competitivity of software development companies, which are increasingly putting effort in the quest for good quality in their products. In this context, testing is recognized as a key process to achieve this goal; however, systematic software testing is not an easy activity. For testing to have effectiveness and efficacy, in addition to product evaluation aspects, it must make use of good quality documentation: all the recorded information must be up to date and consistent; also, associated information must be traceable. A traceability model is proposed for the information contained in the documentation of the testing process; the data model developed gives support to documentation based on the standard IEEE Std 829-1998, as well as to traceability of all associated information; a prototype tool was developed to implement the data model and the traceability model. / Mestrado / Engenharia de Computação / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

As instituições hospitalares que prestam serviços às operadoras de planos de saúde investem na auditoria de contas visando à adequada remuneração do atendimento prestado. No momento da pré-análise das contas a equipe de auditoria realiza correções para fundamentar a cobrança dos procedimentos, evitar glosas e perdas de faturamento. Nesta perspectiva esta pesquisa objetivou verificar os itens componentes das contas dos pacientes internados, conferidos por enfermeiras, que mais receberam ajustes no momento da pré-análise; identificar o impacto dos ajustes no faturamento das contas analisadas pela equipe de auditoria (médicos e enfermeiras) do hospital após a pré-analise; calcular o faturamento que esta equipe consegue ajustar nas contas e identificar as glosas relacionadas aos itens por ela conferidos. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, retrospectiva, de abordagem quantitativa na modalidade de estudo de caso, desenvolvida no Instituto do Coração (InCor) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Foram estudadas 2.613 contas pré-analisadas pela equipe de auditoria do InCor no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2011. O faturamento concentrou-se em 04 (62,9%) das 34 operadoras de planos de saúde credenciadas. Houve predominância da operadora A (27,6%), porém o maior valor médio obtido por conta referiu-se a operadora D com R$ 19.187,50. Os itens mais incluídos nas contas pelas enfermeiras foram gases (90,5%); materiais de internação (85%) e serviço de enfermagem (83,2%). Materiais de Hemodinâmica com média de R$ 1.055,90 (DP± 3.953,45); gases com média de R$ 707, 91 (DP± 843,95) e equipamentos com média de R$ 689, 42 (DP± 1145,20) constituíram os itens de maior impacto financeiro nesses ajustes. Os itens mais excluídos das contas referiram-se a medicamentos de internação (41,2%); equipamentos (28%) e serviços de enfermagem (17%). Em relação aos ajustes negativos os itens que tiveram maior impacto financeiro foram os materiais de Hemodinâmica com média de R$ 3.860,15 (DP± 15.220,80); medicamentos utilizados na Hemodinâmica com média de R$ 1.983,04 (DP± 8.324,42) e gases com média de R$ 1.048,51 (DP± 3.025,53). As enfermeiras incluíram R$ 1.877.168,64 e excluíram R$ 1.155.351,36 e os médicos incluíram R$ 563.927,46 e excluíram R$ 657.190,19. Caso não fosse realizada a pré-análise, haveria a perda de R$ 628.554,55 no faturamento. Dentre as contas analisadas 91,42% receberam ajustes, sendo 57,59% positivos, com média de R$ 1.340,75 (DP±2.502,93) e 33,83% negativos, com média de R$ 1.571,58 (DP± 5.990,51). O total de glosas dos itens analisados por enfermeiras ou por médicos, bem como em itens examinados por ambos, correspondeu em média a R$ 380,51 (DP±1.533,05). As glosas referentes aos itens conferidos por médicos perfizeram um total médio de R$ 311,94 (DP±646,86) e as glosas referentes aos itens conferidos por enfermeiras de R$ 255,84 (DP± 1.636,76). O excesso de ajustes evidenciou a deficiência e a falta de uniformidade dos registros da equipe de saúde. Considera-se que esta pesquisa representa a possibilidade de avanço no conhecimento acerca da auditoria de contas hospitalares à medida que investigou o processo de pré-análise realizado por enfermeiras e médicos auditores / Hospitals that provide services to health plan companies invest in the audit of accounts aiming to provide adequate remuneration of their service. The pre-analysis of accounts is when the audit team makes corrections to determine the foundations for billing the procedures, and to avoid disallowances and revenue losses. From that perspective, the objective of the present study was to identify the patient bill items that were most corrected after being submitted to pre-analysis; identify the impact of those corrections on the revenue of accounts that were analyzed by the hospitals audit team (physicians and nurses) after the pre-analysis; calculate the revenue that the referred team is able to correct, and identify the disallowances related to the items they checked. This exploratory, descriptive, retrospective case study was performed at the Heart Institute (InCor) of the University of São Paulo School of Medicine Clinics Hospital (HCFMUSP) using a quantitative approach. The study included a total of 2,613 accounts that had been pre-analyzed by the InCor audit team in the period spanning January to December of 2011. The revenue was concentrated in four (62.9%) of the 34 credited health plan companies. There was predominance by company A (27.6%), but the highest mean value per account was obtained by company D, with R$ 19,187.50. The items most often included in the accounts by the nurses were gauzes (90.5%); hospitalization materials (85%) and nursing care (83.2%). Hemodynamics materials, with a mean R$ 1,055.90 (SD± 3,953.45); gauzes, with a mean R$ 707.91 (SD± 843.95), and equipment, with a mean R$ 689.42 (SD± 1145.20) were the items with the strongest financial impact on the corrections. The items most often excluded from the accounts referred to hospitalization medications (41.2%); equipment (28%) and nursing care (17%). Regarding the negative changes, the items with the strongest financial impact were Hemodynamics materials, with a mean R$ 3,860.15 (SD± 15,220.80); medications used in Hemodynamics, with a mean R$ 1,983.04 (SD± 8,324.42), and gauzes, with a mean R$ 1,048.51 (SD± 3,025.53). Nurses included a total of R$ 1,877,168.64, and excluded R$ 1,155,351.36, while physicians included R$ 563,927.46 and excluded R$ 657,190.19. If the pre-analysis had not been performed, there would have been a revenue loss of R$ 628,554.55. Of all the accounts submitted to analysis, 91.42% were corrected, of which 57.59% were positive, with a mean R$ 1,340.75 (SD±2,502.93) and 33.83% were negative, with a mean R$ 1,571.58 (SD± 5,990.51). Regarding disallowances, the final sum considering the items analyzed by nurses, physicians or both corresponded to a mean R$ 380.51 (SD±1,533.05). The disallowances referring to the items analyzed by physicians added up to a mean total of R$ 311.94 (SD±646.86), and those referring to the items analyzed by nurses to R$ 255.84 (SD± 1,636.76). The excessive number of corrections showed the lack of uniformity in the records made by the health team. This study represents a possibility of knowledge advancement regarding the audit of hospital accounts as it investigated the pre-analysis process performed by nurses and physicians

A qualidade de um prontuário odontológico tem relação direta com sua capacidade em suprir determinadas necessidades dentro da prática profissional. Entre as características desta documentação encontramos a sua capacidade de funcionar como evidência de grande valor em casos de identificação humana, principalmente em casos onde há destruição dos corpos encontrados (carbonização, putrefação avançada, afogamentos e mutilações), onde fica dificultada a realização da identificação através da dactiloscopia ou o reconhecimento pelos familiares. Com a queda no número de tomadas radiográficas realizadas durante o tratamento odontológico e a diminuição da incidência de cárie na população em geral, o detalhamento da documentação escrita elaborada pelo cirurgião-dentista torna-se imprescindível para possibilitar a sua comparação com dados postmortem por ocasião de uma perícia de identificação humana. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como proposta realizar uma avaliação da qualidade dos prontuários elaborados por cirurgiões-dentistas. Além disso, foi também realizada uma comparação entre a qualidade da documentação elaborada por profissionais recém-formados e profissionais formados há mais de 5 anos, como uma tentativa de estabelecer o tempo de formação do profissional como um fator relevante na elaboração do prontuário. Para tanto, foi realizado um questionário com perguntas referentes à rotina de elaboração da documentação odontológica a uma amostra não probabilística de 132 profissionais, tendo sido utilizada para sua análise a observação quantitativa das tendências das respostas. Observou-se que há grande deficiência no conhecimento dos profissionais quanto ao preenchimento desta documentação, além do desconhecimento da relevância que esta pode apresentar em casos de identificação humana. Quando da comparação levando em consideração o tempo de formado, de modo geral, o desempenho dos dois grupos apresentou-se bastante semelhante, não se refletindo assim, na qualidade final da documentação elaborada, o tempo de formação do indivíduo. / The quality of a dental chart has direct relation with its capacity in supplying definitive necessities of the professional practice. Among the characteristics of this documentation we find its capacity to function as evidence of great value in cases of human identification, especially in cases presenting massive destruction of the bodies (carbonization, advanced decomposition, drowning and mutilation), making it difficult to accomplish the identification through dactyloscopy or even the recognition by the family members. With the decrease in the number of radiographic takes carried out through the dental treatment and the reduction of the incidence of caries in the population in general, the detailing of written documentation elaborated by the dentist becomes essential to make possible its comparison with postmortem data in a forensic identification. Thus, our goal was to evaluate the quality of the dental charts made by graduated dentists. Moreover, we made also a comparison between the quality of the documentation elaborated by newly graduated professionals and professionals graduated for more than 5 years, as an attempt to establish the time of graduation as a relevant factor in the elaboration of the written documentation. For that, a non probabilistic sample of 132 professionals was submitted to a questionnaire with questions referring to the routine elaboration of the dental documentation, having been used for its analysis the quantitative observation of the trends of the answers. It was noticed that there is a great deficiency in the professionals´ knowledge in producing this documentation, and also of its importance in cases of human identification. Regarding the time of graduation, generally, the performance of the two groups presented very similarly, what led us to the conclusion that it does not reflect in the final quality of the documentation.
