Nesta dissertação, são discutidas as vantagens e dificuldades de um Sistema Gerencial de Apoio a Decisão em um ambiente Intranet/Internet, sua execução, bem como a utilização de aplicações de bancos de dados na web. Um sistema dessa natureza, denominado SAG (Sistema de Apoio Gerencial), foi concebido para dar suporte às atividades de gerência, supervisão e controle da rede de distribuição de energia elétrica da Eletropaulo Metropolitana (São Paulo, Brasil). O SAG possibilita o estabelecimento de uma sistemática de supervisão, visando, a partir da análise das condições atuais da rede de distribuição e em função dos recursos disponíveis, permitir o acompanhamento da evolução da qualidade do fornecimento de energia elétrica. Disponibilizando informações que irão orientar ações para corrigir os possíveis desvios inadequados e fixar políticas e diretrizes a serem seguidas nos níveis gerenciais. Como resultado, é esperado tornar mais ágil o processo decisório, bem como o acesso a dados técnicos e de carregamento dos equipamentos da rede de distribuição. / In this dissertation are discussed the advantages and difficulties of an Executive Information System (EIS) implementation on an Intranet or Internet environment, as well as the use of Database applications on the web. An Executive Information System named SAG was implemented at Eletropaulo Metropolitana (São Paulo, Brazil); it was conceived to address maintenance, operational and engineering departments\' needs. The System allows the establishment of a systematic supervision to attend the quality of the electric energy supplied. The analysis of the actual distribution network conditions, the available resources and the electric energy supplied quality will guide the actions to correct possible inadequacies as well as set and fix policies and guidelines to be followed on a manager\'s level. As a result it\'s expected faster decision-making process and access on distribution network equipment\'s technical data and load.

Comércio e indústria, atualmente, respondem por parcela significativa do produto interno bruto (PIB) do Brasil e juntos demandam significativa quantidade de transporte de carga, principalmente do tipo fracionada, fato que, nos últimos anos provocou o crescimento do transporte desse tipo de carga. O elevado crescimento industrial, em 2004 e 2005, nos principais estados da região norte do país, Amazonas e Pará, indicam o aumento potencial da demanda por transporte de carga fracionada entre o norte e o sudeste, que concentra o maior mercado consumidor. As grandes distâncias, entre o norte e o sudeste, fazem o custo de transporte ter grande impacto significativo no preço final das mercadorias. Esse fato levou à procura por opções de transporte de menor custo, para tornar os produtos fabricados na região norte mais competitivos no mercado interno. Atualmente, existe predominância do transporte rodoviário no corredor norte-sudeste, o que desperdiça, por hipótese, o potencial de outros modos de transporte, como cabotagem, transporte fluvial e, futuramente, transporte ferroviário (Ferrovia Norte-Sul e Ferronorte). Isso motivou o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, que tem como objetivo avaliar opções de transporte intermodal, econômica e operacionalmente mais atraentes que as praticadas hoje no transporte de carga geral fracionada (produtos e insumos industrializados) em conexões com a região amazônica. A metodologia empregada no trabalho utilizou: (1) técnica de construção de cenários; (2) modelos de custo de transporte para os modos rodoviário, ferroviário, marítimo e fluvial; e (3) sistema de informação geográfica. Os resultados obtidos nesta tese indicam que opções de rotas rodo-marítimas e rodo-fluviais apresentam significativas reduções no custo total de transporte com relação às rotas preferenciais, hoje, praticadas para as ligações entre Belém-São Paulo e Manaus-São Paulo. Os resultados mostram, também, não haver perspectivas para o transporte rodo-ferroviário e rodo-fluvial-ferroviário nessas ligações, uma vez que, neste caso, o custo obtido é maior que os das rotas hoje praticadas. / Nowadays, business and industry are responsible for a significant portion of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in Brazil, and together they require a considerable amount of freight transport, mainly break-bulk cargo which has stimulated the transport growth of this kind of cargo. The enormous industrial growth in the most important states of the northern region of the country in the years 2004 and 2005 indicate the potential increase of break-bulk cargo transport between the north and the southeast, area that concentrates the strongest consumer market in the country. Due to the long distance between the country\'s north and southeastern regions, the cost of transport increases the final cost of the goods. This fact led to the search for lower cost transport options in order to make the products of that region more competitive in the domestic market. Currently there has been predominance of road transport in the north/southeast corridor wasting, hypothetically, the potential of other means of transport such as cabotage, river, and, in the future, railroad transport (Norte-Sul and Ferronorte railways). All of this brought about the development of this research which aims at evaluating the intermodal transport options that are economically and operationally more attractive than the break-bulk cargo transport (industrial input and products) used today in the connections with the amazon region. The methodology involves: (1) scenario building; (2) transport cost models for the road, railroad, and marine means; and (3) geographic information system. The results demonstrate that the route options road-marine and road-river show substantial reduction in the transport total cost when compared to the most popular routes used between Belém-São Paulo and Manaus-São Paulo. The results also reveal that there is no perspective of the use of road-rail and road-river-rail transport in such connections since the cost is higher than in the routes used nowadays.

This thesis attempts to show the contribution of Geographic Information System to urban planning process in Turkey. GIS can enhance the planning system by providing an access to accurate, reliable and update geographical information, producing alternatives according to the scenario and ensuring participation in the evaluation of the alternatives. This is the high level contribution of GIS for the enhancement of planning. The contribution can occur / if certain conditions are sustained such as establishment of geographical data provision system among public institutions. Obviously, these are connected with available technical and social infrastructure. Although, there is not a digital infrastructure system among the public institutions, several general directorates have started to provide some geographical information in their works. These efforts should be increased in quality and quantity. From the planning point of view, we argue that these are not even at satisfying level to work with the GIS in the plan-making processes. To prove our argument, the use of GIS and technology in the Bank of Provinces and private planning offices are inquired. The results of the thesis study show that the Bank of Provinces is in the transition period for the use of GIS. Private planning offices are in the initial stage and some of them seem unable to adopt themselves if the plan-making process becomes digital, because of the extra costs for them. Therefore, geographical data provision policies among public planning institutions will determine the future development of GIS in the planning process.

This study aims to develop an integrated methodology for finding water leaks in a water distribution network. The integrated methodology is formed from SCADA System, Customer Information System (CIS), and Geographic Information System. The methodology is based on forming district-metered areas (DMA) and sub-DMAs in pressure zones by isolation of the network. Leaking spots in the network are localised by step testing within the DMA. With leak noise loggers leaking spots are localized with an increased accuracy and finally pinpointed by ground microphones. Minimum night flows are observed from the SCADA system before and after the repairs of the leaks to calculate physical water loss percentage in the DMA. Monthly non-revenue water percentage is calculated using the data obtained from SCADA and CIS. With a buffer analysis on the water distribution network data, the benefit of the leak noise loggers is maximized and the working time with the ground microphones are minimized. The methodology is applied in two different DMAs in Antalya water distribution network with different characteristics. In the first DMA, only the developed methodology is applied and a decrease of 19.2% is achieved in physical water losses. In the second DMA, pressure reduction is added to the methodology and a decrease of 4.9% is achieved.

<p>The aims of this dissertation are to investigate the use and usefulness of patterns in Information Systems Engineering and to identify future areas of research. In order to do this there is a need to survey different types of patterns and find a common concept of patterns. A pattern is based on experience found in the real world. A text or a model or a combination of the both can describe the pattern. A pattern is typically described in terms of context, forces, problem, and solution. These can be explicitly expressed or implicitly found in the description of the pattern.</p><p>The types of patterns dealt with are: object-oriented patterns; design patterns, analysis patterns; data model patterns; domain patterns; business patterns; workflow patterns and the deontic pattern. The different types of patterns are presented using the authors' own terminology.</p><p>The patterns described in the survey are classified with respect to different aspects. The intention of this analysis is to form a taxonomy for patterns and to bring order into the vast amount of patterns. This is an important step in order to find out how patterns are used and can be used in Information Systems Engineering. The aspects used in the classification are: level of abstraction; text or model emphasis; product or process emphasis; life cycle stage usage and combinations of these aspects.</p><p>Finally an outline for future areas of research is presented. The areas that have been considered of interest are: patterns and Information Systems Engineering methods; patterns and tools (tool support for patterns); patterns as a pedagogical aid; the extraction and documentation of patterns and patterns and novel applications of information technology. Each future area of research is sketched out.</p>

This diploma thesis deals with the development of an information system for human resources management. The aim is to describe the process of the development. This thesis is separated into two bigger parts. First, the theoretical part starts with general information about the information society, information systems, an explanation of the ERP information system, the development in general and methodology of development information systems. Second, the practical part describes: how the information system was developed in practice, exactly in the DataCentrum systems & consulting, a.s. company. This thesis describes not only the procedure of programming, but also all related activities such as: the analysis of entry requirements, used development methods, the development team and the tools used during development and testing. As a result, this thesis shows the developed information system and evaluates the whole project with recommendations for improvement.

In its theoretical part, this work deals with hospital information systems, their properties and development trends in the world, in Czech Republic and in the faculty Hospital in Plzeň in particular. A special reason for taking up this subject was the on-going transition to digital operation at the RTG departament of said hospital. Pictorial documentacion in digital form is presently becoming standard part of the medical do-cumentacion. The X-ray photographs can now be viewed at any client station of the hospital information system. As the existing stations were not originally intended for visualisation of pictorial medical documentacion, image quality tests have been carried out to determine the suitability of the station monitors for such operation. The main target of this work was to identify, using the technical tools available ath the RTG departament, a suitable image quality test, to verify its informative value and compare the existing hospital information system stations with dedicated diagnostic work station primarily intended for visualisation of medical X-ray documentation. The practical part of this work consisted of two tests using special graphic images and real patient`s X-ray picture including a specific diagnostic feature. A method of controlled interview was then used to establish the image quality and the degree of certainty with which that the doctors could identify the subject diagnostic feature. The test results were subject to statistical analysis using the linear regression analytic method whereby the informative value of the tests was determined. Finally, the operational properties of diagnostic work stations were compared to those of the hospital information system. In consideration of the small number of stations subjects to tests, the statistic analysis of this comparison was not carried out.

They demand changes in the socioeconomic conditions of the population, reduction of inequalities, and also access and quality of health services, both primary care and specialized outpatient and hospital services. In the evaluation of the studies on infant mortality in the state of Goiás, little research was done with data linkage. Objective: To estimate the magnitude and to evaluate the factors associated with infant mortality, and their respective components, in the live birth cohort of mothers residing in Goiás in 2012. Methodology: Longitudinal analytical study of a retrospective cohort based on secondary data. The three databases were identified for the identification of infant deaths and hospitalizations of mothers and children. A descriptive analysis was performed with estimates of infant death probabilities and their components, as well as an analytical approach using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression using hierarchical models to identify the associated factors. Odds Ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Results: The probability of MI was 12, 9 deaths in children under one year per thousand live births in Goiás, this result represents the best estimate of infant mortality for Goiás in 2012. The study identified association as a risk factor in MI In the categories of gestational age, birth with anomalies, unsatisfactory apgar index in the fifth minute and weight less than 1,500 grams, which may be associated to insufficient quality of health care in prenatal, childbirth and puerperium. Conclusions: From the results of this study, the identification of the pregnant women who present these factors can be incorporated in the routine of the health services and basic and hospital care, allowing a differentiated attention to the groups of pregnant women exposed to these risk factors and predictors, Prevent child deaths. / Introdução: A redução da mortalidade infantil é um desafio para os serviços de saúde e a sociedade como um todo. Exigem mudanças nas condições socioeconômicas da população, redução das desigualdades e também no acesso e qualidade dos serviços de saúde, tanto da atenção primária quanto dos serviços ambulatoriais e hospitalares especializados. Na avaliação dos estudos sobre a mortalidade infantil no estado de Goiás, poucas pesquisas foram realizadas com linkage dos dados. Objetivo: Estimar a magnitude e avaliar os fatores associados à mortalidade infantil, e seus respectivos componentes, na coorte de Nascidos Vivos de mães residentes em Goiás no ano 2012. Metodologia: Estudo analítico longitudinal de coorte retrospectivo realizado a partir de dados secundários. Procedeu-se ao relacionamento das três bases Sinasc, SIM e SIH-SUS, por meio de linkage de dados para a identificação dos óbitos infantis e internações das mães e crianças. Realizou-se análise descritiva com estimativa das probabilidades de morte infantil e seus componentes, bem como abordagem analítica, utilizando regressão logística bivariada e multivariável utilizando modelos hierarquizados para identificação dos fatores associados. Foram estimados os Odds Ratios e respectivos intervalos de 95% de confiança. Resultados: A probabilidade de MI foi de 12, 9 mortes em menores de um ano por mil nascidos vivos em Goiás, esse resultado representa a melhor estimativa da mortalidade infantil para Goiás no ano de 2012. O estudo identificou associação como fator de risco na MI nas categorias de idade gestacional, nascimento com anomalias, índice insatisfatório de apgar no quinto minuto e peso inferior a 1.500 gramas, que podem estar associados à qualidade insuficiente da assistência em saúde no pré-natal, parto e puerpério. Conclusões: A partir dos resultados desse estudo, pode ser incorporada na rotina dos serviços de saúde e atenção básica e hospitalar a identificação das gestantes que apresentam esses fatores possibilitando uma atenção diferenciada para os grupos de gestantes expostas a esses fatores de risco e preditores, de forma a evitar os óbitos infantis.
