Esse trabalho foi desenvolvido metodologicamente utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo por base a pesquisa descritiva na forma documental, utilizando a técnica de observação direta para a coleta de dados. A pesquisa fez uma investigação da publicidade das ações relacionadas aos prontuários e arquivos, nos sítios eletrônicos de doze instituições de saúde previamente escolhidas, respondendo objetivamente a dezoito questões formuladas, conhecendo assim a realidade de cada uma, e do conjunto destas no que tange a relação prontuário e arquivo da instituição de saúde com os respectivos sítios eletrônicos. Essa investigação revelou que nenhuma instituição apresentou em seu sítio eletrônico a totalidade de respostas positivas. A instituição que chegou mais próximo do resultado alcançou doze das dezoito respostas, que representa 66,67%, revelando assim a necessidade dos sítios eletrônicos serem melhorados para a garantia do acesso a informação dos clientes ou pacientes. O trabalho apresentou ainda o panorama atual da legislação sobre prontuário, as correlações com a prática e a identificação de ações quanto a soluções para inserção dessa espécie documental como instrumento relevante de registro de informação para a eficácia de um atendimento de qualidade e com segurança jurídica ao paciente. / ABSTRACT The research presented in this Master’s thesis investigated the use and importance of patients’ medical records at health institutions, by publishing actions or information on their official websites. This study was developed methodologically using a qualitative approach, having descriptive research in documentary form as a base, and utilizing the technique of direct observation for data collection. The research analyzed the disclosure of actions related to medical records and archives on the websites of 12 previously selected health institutions, objectively responding to 18 formulated questions. The reality of each institution and the group as a whole with regards to the health institutions’ medical records and files’ relation with their websites was discovered in this way. The analysis revealed that none of the institutions presented totally positive replies on their websites. The institution which came closest to the outcome attained 12 of the 18 responses, representing 66.67%. Therefore, this revealed the need for improvements to the websites, in order to guarantee access to information on clients or patients. This study also presents an overview of legislation on medical records, correlations with practice and identifying actions for solutions to insert a patient’s medical records as a relevant instrument to record information for an effective, high quality service and legal certainty for patients.

This project is a web application for two types of bookstores an E-Bookstore and a PDF-Bookstore. Both are document sellers, however, The E-Bookstore is not a currency user. The PDF-Bookstore sells PDF documents and issues a lightweight currency called Scart. Customers can sell their PDF documents to earn Scart currency and buy PDF documents by paying with Scart.

When using a personal computer the user could experience starting an application for the first time, loading a level in a video game or any tedious arbitrary loading process. These loading processes often load mostly the same data each time and consume time where the user is waiting. Making it faster is often preferred. The file-caching tactics Preloading, Precaching and Prefetching (PPP) have received past research, mostly to make generic improvements or better algorithms. The gap in the work is a lack of non-generic file-caching optimisation algorithms. To improve loading times during a Mostly Deterministic File-Loading Process (MDFLP), this research suggests a Multi-Component Artificial Intelligence (MCAI) that analyses the application's runtime results. The proposed MCAI would not be a one size fits all kind of solution but rather generate a tailored File-Loading Strategy (FLS) for the application. The aim of the research is to investigate if a MCAI could improve loading speeds of arbitrary application's MDFLPs. The objectives are to implement a test synthesiser for generating synthetic test environments to use MCAI on, to implement the MCAI and perform the experiments. The research questions regard how the MCAI can analyse inefficient operations during a MDFLP, propose measures that increase efficiency and aid developers independently of the high-level technology used. They also regard how the MCAI through iterative runs of an application can generate an application-specific FLS which is better in terms of PPP performance. The method section goes into detail about how the test synthesiser, the MCAI and the host application is implemented. It also explains how the experiment was made, what the experiment tested, what data was collected and what hardware and software were used. The result first shows in detail how the MCAI works on a simple test and then moves on to three extensive tests. Two of the tests show positive results, where the MCAI manages to generate an optimal FLS, whilst the MCAI fails in the third test. The third test highlights inherent weaknesses in the MCAI. The conclusion is that the MCAI shows potential. In its weakest form, it still manages to produce good results, where the MCAI generates a FLS that improves the load time performance. There is improvement potential for the MCAI to make it more smart, efficient, reliable and make it able to generate a FLS for test three. The research leaves room for follows ups and projects, like developing the MCAI further and performing case studies. / När en dator används kan användaren uppleva starten av en applikation för första gången, inladdningen av en nivå i ett TV-spel eller någon tråkig, godtycklig inladdningsprocess. Dessa laddningsprocesser laddar ofta mestadels samma data varje gång och förbrukar tid där användaren väntar. Att göra det snabbare är ofta att föredra. Det har tidigare forskats om filcachningstaktikerna Preloading, Precaching och Prefetching (PPP), mest för att göra generiska förbättringar eller bättre algoritmer. Klyftan i forskningen är bristen på icke-generiska filcachande-optimeringsalgoritmer. För att förbättra laddningstiderna under en övervägande deterministisk filladdningsprocess (MDFLP), föreslår denna forskning en Multi-Komponents Artificiell Intelligens (MCAI) som analyserar programmets körtidsresultat. Den föreslagna MCAIn skulle generera en skräddarsydd filladdningsstrategi (FLS) för applikationen. Syftet med forskningen är att upptäcka om en MCAI kan förbättra laddningshastigheterna för godtyckliga applikationers MDFLP:er. Målen är att implementera en testsyntetiserare för att generera syntetiska testmiljöer att använda MCAI på, att implementera MCAI och utföra experimenten. Forskningsfrågorna handlar om hur MCAI kan analysera ineffektiva operationer under en MDFLP, föreslå åtgärder som ökar effektiviteten och hjälper utvecklare oberoende av vilken högnivåteknik som används. Det handlar också om hur MCAI genom körningar av en applikation kan generera en FLS som är bättre i PPP-prestanda. Metodavsnittet går in i detalj om hur testsyntesen, MCAI och värdapplikationen implementeras. Den förklarar också hur experimentet gjordes, vad experimentet testade, vilken data som samlades in och vilken hårdvara och mjukvara som användes. Resultatet visar först i detalj hur MCAI fungerar på ett enkelt test och går sedan vidare till tre omfattande tester. Två av testerna visar positiva resultat, där MCAI lyckas generera en optimal FLS, medan MCAI misslyckas helt i det tredje testet. Det tredje testet belyser inneboende svagheter i MCAI. Slutsatsen är att MCAI visar potential. Det finns förbättringspotential för MCAI för att göra den mer smart, effektiv, pålitlig och lyckas generera en bra FLS för test tre. Forskningen lämnar utrymme för uppföljningar och projekt, som att vidareutveckla MCAI och utföra fallstudier.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering / Don Gruenbacher / Caterina Scoglio / In this dissertation, we investigate research gaps still existing in P2P file-sharing systems: the necessity of fairness maintenance during the content information publishing/retrieving process, and the stranger policies on P2P fairness. First, through a wide range of measurements in the KAD network, we present the impact of a poorly designed incentive fairness policy on the performance of looking up content information. The KAD network, designed to help peers publish and retrieve sharing information, adopts a distributed hash table (DHT) technology and combines itself into the aMule/eMule P2P file-sharing network. We develop a distributed measurement framework that employs multiple test nodes running on the PlanetLab testbed. During the measurements, the routing tables of around 20,000 peers are crawled and analyzed. More than 3,000,000 pieces of source location information from the publishing tables of multiple peers are retrieved and contacted. Based on these measurements, we show that the routing table is well maintained, while the maintenance policy for the source-location-information publishing table is not well designed. Both the current maintenance schedule for the publishing table and the poor incentive policy on publishing peers eventually result in the low availability of the publishing table, which accordingly cause low lookup performance of the KAD network. Moreover, we propose three possible solutions to address these issues: the self-maintenance scheme with short period renewal interval, the chunk-based publishing/retrieving scheme, and the fairness scheme. Second, using both numerical analyses and agent-based simulations, we evaluate the impact of different stranger policies on system performance and fairness. We explore that the extremely restricting stranger policy brings the best fairness at a cost of performance degradation. The varying tendency of performance and fairness under different stranger policies are not consistent. A trade-off exists between controlling free-riding and maintaining system performance. Thus, P2P designers are required to tackle strangers carefully according to their individual design goals. We also show that BitTorrent prefers to maintain fairness with an extremely restricting stranger policy, while aMule/eMule’s fully rewarding stranger policy promotes free-riders’ benefit.

Simulation analysis makes use of statistical distributions to specify the parameters of input data. It is well known that fitting a distribution to empirical data is more of an art than a science (Banks J., 1998, p. 74) because of the difficulty of constructing a 'good' histogram. The most difficult step is choosing an appropriate interval width. Too small a width will produce a ragged histogram, whereas too large a width will produce one that is overaggregated and block-like. De Beer and Swanepoel (1999) have developed 'Simple and effective number-of-bins circumference selectors' for creating histograms for the purpose of fitting distributions. When using simulation software such as Arena, one can generally fit distributions to input data using a built-in function in the software. If input distributions could be compared regarding their effect on the outcomes of a simulation model, one could assess whether input distributions generated by Arena could be accepted unconditionally or whether one should pay special attention to the input distributions used in the simulation model. In this study a simulation model of a computer helpdesk system is constructed to test the effect of input distributions. Distributions fitted with the 'circumference technique' are compared with those from the simulation package, Arena, and those calculated by the statistical package 'Statistica', and then compared with empirical distributions. In the helpdesk system, calls from employees experiencing problems with any computer hardware or software are logged, redirected when necessary, 'attended to, resolved and then closed. Queue statistics of the simulation model using input distributions suggested by Arena as opposed to input distributions deduced from the other methods are compared and a conclusion is reached as to how important or unimportant it is for this specific model to select appropriate input distributions. / Business Management / M.
