Adopted in 2003, the National Incident Management System is the nation’s first standardized management system unifying the actions of all levels of governments during a large-scale emergency response. It sets the standard for interagency coordination and communication in the event of an emergency. This professional report seeks to produce a working, NIMS-compliant emergency communication plan for the City of Austin, Texas. The report begins with an explanation of NIMS, focusing on the national protocols for interagency communication and public information. It then presents a case study of emergency communications in practice, examining two firestorms in San Diego County, California that occurred four years apart – prior to and after the County’s implementation of NIMS communications protocols. The report synthesizes best practices in emergency communications – from both NIMS research and the San Diego case study – to create the City of Austin Public Information and Emergency Communication Plan, an operational guide that fully utilizes the tools and organizational structure of all City departments, including the City’s Communications and Public Information Office. / text

Darbe analizuojama problema yra susijusi su šiandieninėmis profesijos pasirinkimo galimybėmis, kurios labai plačios ir jaunuoliams sunku pasirinkti tinkamą, ypač nežinant darbo rinkos poreikių, savo tinkamumo profesijai ir pan. Manoma, jog baigiamųjų klasių mokiniai neretai renkasi bet kokią studijų programą ar profesiją tam, kad įstotų ir „gautų diplomą”. Todėl taip svarbu padėti jaunuoliui tikslingai pasirinkti profesiją, nes pilnavertis, darbu patenkintas ir profesionaliai jį atliekantis pilietis yra ir kompetentingos, brandžios visuomenės atspindys. Prie jaunuolių profesinio informavimo ir teisingo karjeros pasirinkimo prisideda ir PIC. T. y. mokyklose PIC vykdoma veikla turėtų įgyti išliekamąją vertę ir teikti kokybiškas, tikslingas jaunuoliams taip reikalingas konsultacijas profesijos klausimais. Tyrimo objektas – profesinių informavimo centrų darbuotojų veiklos ypatumai. / The present thesis analyses a problem related to modern day potential of a profession selection, which is very extensive and young adults find it difficult to choose a suitable one especially being unaware of labor market needs, suitability to a certain profession and etc. It is believed that young people often choose a profession or a job requiring skills which they do not have or cannot realize their talents. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to assist a young person in properly selecting a profession as full-fledged person, content with his work and performing one’s duties professionally is a reflection of a competent and mature society. Vocational information center (VIC) adds their contribution in providing vocational consultations for young adults and advice on selection of a career, i.e. implemented activities of VIC at schools should gain an enduring value and provide qualitative purposeful consultations so necessary to youth in regards to their profession.

Toxicological Information Centers (CITs) informs about intoxications and register the cases in information systems (SINAVISA). The evaluation of a big data need care, because to be accomplished its necessary the use of statistics methods to monitor constantly of a big data. Objective: To perform quality control of data in variables product and “chemistry group”, and to evaluate the profile of intoxications of patients notified in SINAVISA, during the period of 2007 to 2012. Methodology: In the first moment it was evaluated the cadasters in variables product and “chemistry group” with Textual Analysis. Posteriorly was evaluated variables of 5041 investigations files of intoxications by medicines and 16333 investigations files of intoxication by medicines, cosmetics, toxic plants, cleaners’ substance, chemical’s industries products, rodenticides, foods, abuse drugs, vets products and agrotoxics, except files from intoxication by venomous’ animals, with Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). Results: It was observed the presence of discordances on data of product and “chemistry group” and then corrected. In analysis of medicine observed that, children and women are the principal victims of intoxication by medicines. The “chemical groups” that more affected on children with 1 to 4 years old was antibiotics, anti-inflammatories not steroidal, antipsychotics, adrenergics agonists, hormones and anti-histaminics. The children with less than one-year-old presented intoxication with ignored products, antibacterial, sympathomimetics agonists, antagonists and anti-inflammatories. Patients with age of 20 to 29 years, female gender, intoxicated by anxiolytics, antidepressives and anticonvulsants. Analysis of 16333 investigations files observed that severe intoxications are in chemical’s group agrotoxics, as pyrethroids, organophosphates, glycine, coumarins and carbamates. The ignored products were grouped in clusters with tendency to more severity. Children with age less than 4 years old also intoxicated with acids, rodenticides, and agrotoxics, but with less frequency. Conclusion: The method was capable of corrected the errors presents in variables “chemical group” and product. Additionally, it was traced the following profile: children intoxicated with medicines antibiotics, anti-inflammatories not steroids, antipsychotics, adrenergics agonists, hormones and anti-histaminics, and young adults intoxicated with agrotoxics, rodenticides and medicines anxiolytics, anti-depressives and anticonvulsants. / Introdução: Substâncias, de fácil acesso à população, como saneantes, domissanitários, cosméticos, medicamentos e produtos químicos industriais são exemplos de fontes de intoxicações. Os Centros de Informação Toxicológicas (CITs) informam sobre intoxicação e registram os casos em sistemas de informação (SINAVISA). A avaliação deste grande número de dados necessita de cuidados, pois para ser realizada é necessária a utilização de métodos estatísticos para o monitoramento constante de muitos dados e posterior análise dos mesmos. Objetivos: Realizar controle de qualidade dos dados cadastrados nas variáveis produto e “grupo químico”, e avaliar o perfil dos pacientes intoxicados notificados no SINAVISA, no período de 2007 a 2012. Metodologia: Primeiro os dados cadastrados nas variáveis produto e “grupo químico” foram avaliados através da Analise Textual. Posteriormente, avaliou-se 5041 fichas de investigação de intoxicação por medicamentos e 16333 fichas de investigação de intoxicação por medicamentos, cosméticos, plantas tóxicas, domissanitários, produtos químicos industriais, raticidas, alimentos, drogas de abuso, produtos veterinários e agrotóxicos, exceto as fichas relacionadas a intoxicação por animais peçonhentos, através Análise de Correspondência Múltipla (MCA) e Análise Hierárquica de Cluster (HCA). Resultados: Observou-se a presença de discordâncias nos dados das variáveis produto e “grupo químico”, sendo os mesmos corrigidos. Na análise dos medicamentos observou-se que as crianças e mulheres são as principais vítimas de intoxicação por medicamentos. Os “grupos químicos” que mais acometeram a faixa etária de 1 a 4 anos foram os antibióticos, os anti-inflamatórios não-esteroidais, os antipsicóticos, os agonistas adrenérgicos, os hormônios e os anti-histamínicos. As crianças menores de um ano apresentaram intoxicação com os produtos ignorados, os antibacterianos, os agonistas e antagonistas simpaticomiméticos e antiinflamatórios. Pacientes com idade entre 20 a 29 anos do gênero feminino intoxicaram-se principalmente por ansiolíticos, antidepressivos e anticonvulsivantes. Nas análises das 16333 fichas de investigação observou-se que as intoxicações mais graves se encontram nos grupos químicos agrotóxicos, tais como piretróides, organofosforados, glicina, cumarínicos e carbamatos. Os produtos ignorados foram agrupados em clusters com tendência a maior gravidade. Crianças menores de 4 anos se intoxicam principalmente por medicamentos. Observou-se também que crianças menores de 4 anos se intoxicam, porém, com menor frequência, com ácidos, raticidas e agrotóxicos. Conclusão: O método foi capaz de corrigir os erros apresentados nas variáveis produto e “grupo químico”. Adicionalmente, foi possível caracterizar os seguintes perfis: crianças intoxicam com medicamentos antibióticos, anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais, antipsicóticos, agonistas adrenérgicos, hormônios e anti-histamínicos e adultos jovens com agrotóxicos, raticidas e medicamentos ansiolíticos, antidepressivos e anticonvulsivantes.

Class of 2015 Abstract / Objectives: To determine the incidence of late coagulopathy and characterize those requiring antivenom retreatment among rattlesnake envenomation patients managed by the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center (APDIC). Methods: This descriptive, retrospective chart review used data extracted from APDIC charts. Data included coagulopathy lab values recorded during treatment, vials of antivenom required to achieve initial control, total vials during therapy, incidence of initial coagulopathy, use of extended infusion, time until treatment, and permanent sequelae due to snakebite. Demographic information was also recorded. Late coagulopathy is defined as coagulopathy occurring after completion of maintenance dosing, and can be considered recurrent or delayed. Delayed coagulopathy occurs in the absence of an initial coagulopathy, while recurrent coagulopathy requires an initial event previously controlled by antivenom therapy. Results: Of 321 identified reports, 120 patients were treated with antivenom, had outpatient follow-up, and were included in analysis. Sixty-one (50.8%) patients did not have an initial coagulopathy, while 59 (49.2%) had an initial coagulopathy. Late coagulopathy occurred in 63 (52.5%) of patients. Delayed coagulopathies occurred in 19 (31.1%) of patients with no initial coagulopathy; Of those with an initial coagulopathy, recurrent coagulopathies occurred in 44 (74.5%) of patients. Patients with initial coagulopathy were statistically more likely to develop a late coagulopathy than those with no initial coagulopathy (p<0.001). Seventeen patients required retreatment post-discharge. Conclusions: Patients envenomated by rattlesnakes are at high risk for developing late coagulopathies. Close outpatient follow-up is imperative for monitoring of coagulopathies. Need for retreatment with FabAV post-discharge is not uncommon.

L'adolescence constitue une période de construction de soi pendant laquelle tant l'intériorité que le corps physique se transforment. Cette métamorphose change le rapport des jeunes aussi bien au monde, qu'au corps et qu'à la lecture. Leurs pratiques dans ce domaine sont très variées et sont souvent mises en concurrence avec d'autres activités. Certains sont en rupture avec le livre- perçu comme un objet contraignant- alors qu'il est très présent à l'école. Quel rapport l'élève entretient-il avec cet objet ? Quels sont ses pratiques et ses comportements de lecteur ? Inscrite dans une approche bibliologique (Otlet, Estivals) des phénomènes médiateurs et anthropologique des comportements (Lévi-Strauss, Monod) cette recherche à partir de la production de dessins que nous décrivons et analysons grâce aux langages documentaires -d'ordinaire utilisés par les professionnels de l'information-, opère un glissement du portrait du lecteur à la scène de lecture. Porteurs d'indices et de détails signifiants et croisés avec des entretiens, nous interprétons la matière informative recueillie à l'aide d'une grille d'observation et d'interprétation élaborée spécifiquement. Cet outil d'analyse de contenu, construit à partir d'un lexique spécifique lié à la pratique observée, permet de traduire le langage graphique en mots. Le dessin, comme méthode visuelle et sensible, révèle des pratiques, des postures, des attitudes, des comportements, des rituels de lecture et des ressentis. Ainsi, en montrant des sujets agissants et couplé à d'autres méthodes d'investigation, le dessin nous paraît apte à révéler une conscience de soi lecteur et à assurer la médiation entre ce dernier et le livre. / The teen years is a self-construction period : inner character and physical body are transformed. For the teenagers, this metamorphosis modifies their relationship to the world, their body and also their reading choises. In the field of reading, their practices are very different, frequently in competition with others activities. Some teenagers have broken away from the book sensed as a limiting object, despite its presence in the school environment. What kind of relationship exists between the pupils and this object ? What kind of practices and behaviours do they adopt as readers ? In keeping with the biblilogic approach (Otlet, Estivals) of the mediator and that of the anthropological phenomena of behaviours (Lévi-Strauss, Monod), the production of drawings described and analyzed through the indexing language - usually used by the information professionals - is the starting point of this research which undertakes a shift from the portrait of the reader to the reading scene. Whilst bringing significant clues and details alongside interviews, we analysed the collected informative material using an observation and interpretation table that we have specifically developed. This analysis tool constructed from specific lexicon linked with the observed practice is a way to translate the graphic language into words. The drawing, considered as a visual and sensitive method, reveals some practices, postures, attitudes, behaviours, reading rituals and perceptions. Finally, showing active subjects and with our approach supplemented by other investigation methods, drawings seems to be able to reveal a self-consciousness as reader and to act as mediator between the latter and the book.

Os conceitos de “fronteira ideológica”, “inimigo interno” e a própria flexibilização do termo “comunismo” conduziram os governos autoritários do Brasil e do Cone Sul a um alinhamento ideológico e à cooperação na área de segurança que se materializaram, entre outras formas, na constituição de uma comunidade de informações. No Brasil, as atividades de busca, coleta e produção de informações em âmbito interno estiveram sob o controle do Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) e, externamente, a cargo do Centro de Informações do Exterior (CIEx), o qual teve significativa importância na consolidação e difusão da perspectiva anticomunista no continente sul-americano. Sua existência e seu vínculo com o Ministério das Relações Exteriores suscitam questionamentos sobre a participação deste em atividades realizadas durante o regime autoritário, ainda que sempre tenha buscado manter uma imagem de neutralidade quanto às questões de política interna, e indica um possível envolvimento diplomático na Operação Condor. As informações reveladas pelos documentos oficiais recém-abertos e as raras e divergentes opiniões de pesquisadores sobre a participação do Itamaraty no regime militar são fontes de análise desta pesquisa, cujo objetivo é compreender o funcionamento do CIEx durante o regime militar brasileiro, tendo em vista três formas de atuação que o mesmo empreendeu ao longo de sua existência. A análise consiste na comparação entre a dinâmica de desenvolvimento do sistema nacional de Inteligência nas principais potências mundiais e nos países do Cone Sul, especialmente o Brasil, onde a criação de um órgão como o CIEx refletiu a “reexternalização” do conflito ideológico. / The appropriation and application of a new strategic concept of security based on the National Security Doctrine (NDS) have marked the Brazilian military regime’s period. The concepts of "ideological borders", "internal enemy" and the flexibility given to the term "communism" led the Brazil and Southern Cone’s authoritarian governments to an ideological alignment and cooperation in the area of security, which has turned into a Constitution of a community of information. In Brazil, the National Information Service (NIS) was in the control of collecting the activities reports collection and producing of information in the internal scope, whereas the External Information Center (EIC) played an important role in the consolidation and dissemination of anti-Communist perspective on the South American continent. Its existence and its link with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) raise questions about the participation of this Ministry in activities held during the authoritarian regime, although it has always sought to maintain an image of neutrality on the issues of domestic politics, and indicate a possible diplomatic involvement in Operation Condor. The information revealed by the newly opened official documents and the rare and divergent opinions of researchers on the participation of the MFA in the military regime are sources of analysis of this research, whose goal is to understand the functioning of EIC during the Brazilian military regime, take into consideration three forms of action that it has taken over its existence. This analysis compares the dynamics of development of the national intelligence system in major world powers and the Southern Cone countries’, especially Brazil, where the creation of a mechanism like EIC reflected the "reexternalization" of ideological conflict.

The task was to design a new use for three former underground reservoirs on Žlutý kopec in Brno and its area. The main goal of the pre-diploma project was to define the use of reservoirs, which is reflected in the urban design. Connections, entrances to the area, the use of existing buildings and overall use of the area is part of the urbanism part. The main design itself contains the building of the information and visitor center, which allows access to the oldest and youngest reservoir. The design of the building uses different height levels in the area and connects the street level with the park level.
