Bakgrund: Ungdomars sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa och rättigheter (SRHR) är ett viktigt folkhälsoarbete och barnmorskan har en central roll när det kommer till att nå ungdomarna med kunskap och information. Det förefaller finnas få studier om barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om när det kommer till deras sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa och rättigheter. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom området sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med barnmorskor. Datamaterial analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Barnmorskorna uppfattade att ungdomarna hade behov av att veta mer om kroppsutveckling. Även mer om sexuellt överförbara infektioner (STI) och preventivmedel samt att killarna behövde veta mer om deras reproduktiva ansvar. Ungdomarna behövde också veta mer om sexuella relationer och rättigheter, innefattande bland annat lagar och homosexualitet. Barnmorskorna ser idag en ökning av sexuella problem bland ungdomarna och barnmorskorna hade en gemensam uppfattning om att det beror på pornografikonsumtion. Slutsats: Barnmorskor har insikt i vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom SRHR. Det finns fortfarande brister i undervisning och utbildning till ungdomar inom SRHR och det är angeläget att fokusera och investera i arbeten för att stärka och främja ungdomars SRHR. Klinisk tillämpbarhet: Denna studie lyfter barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom ämnet SRHR. Studien kan användas i klinisk verksamhet till förbättringsarbeten för olika yrkeskategorier som arbetar med ungdomar gällande SRHR. / Background: The sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people is an important public health work and the midwife has a central role in reaching the young people with knowledge and information. There seem to be few studies on midwives' perceptions about what young people need to know more about when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the views of midwives about what young people need to know more about in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Method: Qualitative interview study with eight semi-structured interviews with midwives. The data material was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis with inductive approach. Result: The midwives perceived that the young people needed to know more about body development. In addition, more about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and contraceptives and that the young men needed to know more about their reproductive responsibilities. The youth also needed to know more about sexual relations and rights, including, among other things, laws and homosexuality. The midwives today see an increase in sexual problems among young people and the midwives had a common view that this is due to pornography consumption. Conclusion: Midwives have insight into what young people need to know more about in SRHR. There are still shortcomings in education for young people within SRHR, and it is important to focus and invest in work to strengthen and promote young people's SRHR. Clinical application: This study highlights the views of midwives on what young people need to know more about in the subject of SRHR. The study can be used in clinical activities for improvement work for various occupational categories that work with young people regarding SRHR.

It also consists in define what are their objectives, what are the alternatives to reach then and which of then the organization will choose. This stage, where the organization choose one alternative among many others, acording to a objective is know how the decision making process, in this case, strategic decison making. To all this activities, information is a basic resourse, and once this information is related to bussines, this is called bussines information. Considering the benefits that this information can represent to the organizations, become very important identify the informations sources, what are the informations that these sources make available, what are theses informations attributes, basicly their quality, e what are the costs to obtain these informations. Because of this, was choosen the Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas like a geografic area to develop this study, by reason of theirs characteristics like dynamism, social, technological and economical development. In this region, where selected institutes that are sources of business information, having recognition and representativity in industry, commerce and sevices , or in representative business in region. Once selected the institutes, where identified one person in each, which are interviewed. In Campinas interviews where done in Sebrae, Acic and Fiesp/Ciesp. In Holambra, that is a city that produces flowers and plants, the interview was in Veiling Holambra. In Americana, which main activity is the textile industry, the interview was in Sinditec. Then, analizing this interviews was possible know what informations these sources make available e at which cost or difficultly to access and what are these information characteristics, and, through the studied bibliography, was possible to conclude how these informations can be important in the strategical process and in the decision making process in a organization. / A estrat?gia ? um processo que consiste em definir onde a organiza??o se encontra do ponto de vista interno, externo e de posicionamento. Ela consiste tamb?m em definir quais s?o os objetivos, quais as alternativas para alcan??-los e que alternativa a organiza??o ir? escolher. Essa etapa de escolha de uma alternativa entre v?rias de acordo com um objetivo ? conhecida como processo de tomada decis?o, e no caso, tomada de decis?o estrat?gica. Para todo esse conjunto de atividades a informa??o ? elemento fundamental, e por se tratar de informa??es relacionadas com as empresas, essas informa??es s?o conhecidas como informa??es para neg?cios. Em virtude dos benef?cios que essas informa??es podem representar para as organiza??es torna-se importante identificar fontes de informa??es, quais s?o as informa??es que elas disponibilizam, quais os atributos dessas informa??es, basicamente sua qualidade, e quais os custos para a obten??o dessas informa??es. Para tanto, foi escolhida a Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas como ?rea para estudo em virtude de suas caracter?sticas de dinamismo, desenvolvimento econ?mico, tecnol?gico e social. Nessa regi?o foram selecionadas as sociedades civis e entidades de classe que fossem fornecedoras de informa??o para neg?cios e que tivessem reconhecimento e uma boa representatividade dentro da ind?stria, com?rcio e servi?os ou em p?los representativos dentro da regi?o. Depois de selecionadas as institui??es, foram identificadas pessoas chaves dentro de cada uma delas, as quais foram entrevistadas. Assim, na cidade de Campinas foram feitas entrevistas no Sebrae, na Acic e na Fiesp/Ciesp. Na cidade de Holambra, que ? um p?lo de produ??o de flores e plantas ornamentais, a entrevista foi realizada no Veiling Holambra. Em Americana, cuja atividade que se destaca ? a ind?stria t?xtil foi feita entrevista no Sinditec. Ent?o, com a an?lise dessas entrevistas foi poss?vel identificar que informa??es essas fontes disponibilizam e qual o seu custo ou dificuldade de acesso e quais as suas caracter?sticas, e ainda, atrav?s da bibliografia estudada, p?de-se concluir de que forma essas informa??es poderiam ser relevantes na quest?o da estrat?gia e da tomada de decis?o numa organiza??o.

This study was conducted on the premise that if quality business information is provided to business enterprises, socio-economic transformation could be achieved. The study emanated from the documented problem where business enterprises in northern Uganda were found to depend on "word of mouth" rather than any meaningful formal mechanism for accessing information efficiently. The aim of the study was, therefore, to design an information system for northern Uganda business enterprises. The study makes use of document analysis, questionnaires and interviews. The Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs), information providers and business policy-makers in northern Uganda constituted the population of the study. The data which was collected was edited and analysed to produce graphs, charts and percentages. The main findings indicate that business activities in northern Uganda are diverse - covering almost the entire sector of the economy. The SMEs need information on finance/capital/loans, local markets, business management skills, appropriate technologies, business competitors and security. They are lagging behind in using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). There is a lack of familiarity with changing technology - especially the Internet. Although the SMEs are making a fundamental contribution to Uganda's economy, they face serious challenges, such as insecurity, inadequate electricity, lack of trained information professionals and appropriate technology to access electronic information. The findings further indicate that respondents want business information to be selective to address their needs. The study concludes that the SMEs need an efficient, effective mechanism to provide the required business information. Hence, it is recommended that a business information system (BIS) design be implemented to address their needs. The BIS should provide business information in terms of legal, technical and economic information as well as contact information and management skills. Information should be processed by means of radio broadcasts, the telephone, short text messages, posters, online and CD-ROM formats - as required by the SMEs managers. To facilitate access, BIS should have telephone services; Internet-based services; online small business workshops; business start up assistant; and Talk to BIS services. BIS should have a flexible interface. / INFORMATION SCIENCE / DLITT ET PHIL (INF SCIENCE)

With the advent of the INTERNET, the process of on-line communication, man x machine, mediated for the search mechanisms, became, simultaneously, an aid and a difficulty in the process of recovery of information. The researcher had that to adapt it the way to operate of the INTERNET and included knowledge of idiomatic differences, of terminology, beyond using instruments that supply parameters to it to get greater relevancy and relevance in the data. The use of intelligent agents for improvement of results and the reduction of semantic noises have been pointed as solutions with respect to increase of the precision in the result of the searches. The exploratory study of cases carried through it analyzes on-line research from the theory of the information and considers two forms to optimize the comunicacional process with sights to the relevancy and relevance of the gotten data: the first one suggests the application of algorithms that use mediating the controlled vocabulary as of the communication process using itself of the describers for on-line recovery. , and second the importance of the intelligent agents in the process of man-machine communication stands out.(AU) / O pesquisador científico necessita de informações precisas, em tempo hábil para conclusão de seus trabalhos.

In this sense, the ethnic and racial issues are incorporated into the debate in the field, towards the elimination of racial practices, discrimination and black people silencing. In this perspective thoughts on the ethical and racial information sources are pointed out, that is the origin places of the information that reflect historical and cultural elements in the assertion of an ethnical group compared to contemporary multiculturalism. In the diversity of sources, the emphasis is given in pictures, believing that they are able to express aspects of life and social interactions regarding to Afrocentric culture. Thus, this present study aims at exploring the iconographic sources of ethno-racial information as a way of preserving Afrocentric culture in the photographical essay titled Engenhos and Senzalas. Operationally, the work intends to identify, contextualize and characterize the iconographical sources of information racial-ethnic, as well as to analyze the social cultural function of the archive where they are kept in and how these photographs (typological elements characteristics of the given sources) can serve as elements of representation and preservation of Afrocentric culture. In terms of methodology, it is a qualitative descriptive and exploratory research, based on critical-analytical methods such as document analysis and discourse analysis. Data collection has identified seventeen photographs produced in 1982, which aimed to represent the relationships between land lords and slaves in the post slavery period. The results show that photographs trigger the maintenance of the Afrocentric memory marginalized unable to adduce the black as a citizen even free. Thus, it is the archive information professional responsible to assign other mechanisms and information sources to crystallize the social role of the black people. / A Ciência da Informação, gradativamente, vem assumindo maior visibilidade e responsabilidade no contexto das dinâmicas socioculturais. Nesse sentido, as questões étnico-raciais são incorporadas ao debate no campo, no intento de eliminação das práticas de racismo, discriminação e silenciamentos da população negra. Nessa perspectiva, trazemos à reflexão as fontes de informação étnico-raciais, ou seja, os lugares de procedência das informações que refletem elementos históricos e culturais na afirmação de um grupo étnico ante ao multiculturalismo contemporâneo. Na diversidade das fontes, nossa ênfase recai nas fotografias, acreditando que estas são capazes de exprimir aspectos da vida e interações sociais referentes à cultura afrocêntrica. Dessa forma, o estudo que ora se delineia tem por objetivo geral analisar as fontes iconográficas de informação étnico-racial como um modo de preservação da cultura afrocêntrica no ensaio fotográfico Engenhos e Senzalas. Operacionalmente, tem a pretensão de identificar, contextualizar e caracterizar as fontes iconográficas de informação étnico-racial, bem como analisar a função sociocultural do arquivo onde se encontram e como essas fotografias (elemento tipológico característico das fontes em questão) podem servir como elementos de representação e preservação da cultura afrocêntrica. Em termos metodológicos, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de tipo descritivo-exploratória, que faz uso de métodos crítico-analíticos como a análise documental e a análise discursiva na interpretação de seus objetos de estudo. A coleta de dados identificou dezessete fotografias produzidas no ano de 1982, que visam à representação das relações entre senhores de engenhos e escravos no período pós-abolicionista. Os resultados mostram que as fotografias deflagram a visibilidade marginalizada de uma memória afrocêntrica incapaz de aduzir ao negro seu caráter cidadão, mesmo alforriado. Diante disso, cabe ao profissional da informação responsável pelo arquivo, atribuir outros mecanismos e fontes de informação que cristalizem o papel social no negro.

The purpose of this study was to critically analyse the evidence-based revelations from the South African Office of the Auditor-General on the records management challenges being encountered in the local government sector. The aim of the study was the analysis of available evidence and the proposal of solutions for collaborative planning and implementation. The lack of strategic planning in ensuring the accessibility of authentic information sources required during auditing remains unchallenged by the South African public archivists and records managers. These audit reports are required to demonstrate governance, transparency and accountability. This information held in the records of local government is also required to satisfy service delivery and plan development ventures. The World Bank, International Monetary Fund and United Nations formulated an ambitious agenda to eradicate world poverty by 2025. Eight millennium development goals were identified that would provide impoverished communities with better access to basic services and conditions spurring sustainable development. Governance-based criteria were identified as barometers to gauge transparency, accountability, respect for the rule of law and citizens’ rights. Consolidated audited reports from 2000 to 2013 were scrutinised to unravel the conundrums relating to governance, transparency and the management of public sector information sources. According to the 2013 report, only 5% of the local government sector managed to attain clean audits. Related evidence revealed in the unclean audit reports and media narratives related to service delivery and community protests. The approach used for the study was the qualitative methodology, regarded as an appropriate method for the archival discipline. This research method allowed for the incorporation of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields of interest. The case study method design enabled the focus of the study to be on local governments and six selected community development ventures in different areas of South Africa. The latter method enabled information collection from records officials and persons involved with socio-economic development projects. Sound interventions are needed to ensure evidence-based governance. This, in turn, would create favourable conditions for development endeavours in post-apartheid South Africa. / Information Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Information Science)

[pt] Considerando a disponibilidade do Big Data para engenharia de software, como no caso do GitHub, a semi-automação da elicitação de requisitos não funcionais (NFRs) é uma estratégia fundamental para a definição de requisitos. Como tal, a elicitação de NFRs, dentro da automação da leitura de documentos, pode gerenciar a massa de informações valiosas existentes nos dados disponíveis. Esta tese explora esse contexto em três partes, a escolha de fontes apropriadas de informação, uma elicitação de descoberta de fatos e a identificação de NFRs. As avaliações realizadas mostraram que a automação enfrenta um balance entre eficiência e eficácia. Esse equilíbrio é detalhado com diferentes estratégias inovadoras. O conhecimento adquirido é organizado como um catálogo SIG (Softgoal Interdependence Graph). / [en] Considering the availability of Big Data for software engineering, as the case of GitHub, the semi-automation of non-functional requirements (NFRs) elicitation is a key strategy towards requirements definition. As such, NFRs elicitation, within the automation of document reading, can manage the mass of valuable information existing in available data. This thesis explores this context in three parts, the choice of proper sources of information, a fact-finding elicitation, and NFRs identification. The assessments performed showed that the automation faces a trade-off between efficiency and efficacy. This trade-off is detailed with different novel strategies. The acquired knowledge is organized as a SIG (Softgoal Interdependence Graph) catalog.

This dissertation analysed the information needs and information-seeking behaviour of visual artists. An empirical survey was conducted on a sample of the more informationliterate visual artists in South Africa. A model of the information environment of South African visual artists was developed. This model provides a basis for another model which represents the optimal service that should be rendered to meet the needs of this user group. It was found that the general information needs of South African artists are fairly adequately met, but that there are several shortfalls, especially in serving their more complex information needs. The most important problems are the lack of training in the use of information sources and services, inadequate marketing of services and inadequate coverage of South African art. It was also found that greater coordination between service providers is urgently required, especially in the provision of information about South African art. / M. (Information Science)
