No. of bitstreams: 1 666666.pdf: 448801 bytes, checksum: 42dd2dd25aad8b4bd602a50c8462ca03 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Este estudo analisa os fatores que interferem na descentralização das ações de Vigilância Sanitária nos municípios baianos em Gestão Plena do Sistema, identificando impasses e desafios na assunção das suas responsabilidades, enquanto gestores plenos do sistema de saúde municipal. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, de natureza qualitativa, descritiva, tendo utilizado o estudo de caso como estratégia de pesquisa. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas e análise de documentos e analisados à luz do conceito de descentralização enquanto fenômeno de natureza política por envolver transferência de poder do estado e ser por esta razão indutora de conflitos nas relações entre as esferas de governo da Federação brasileira. Os resultados evidenciaram que, embora venham sendo superados muitos obstáculos para estruturação das vigilâncias sanitárias municipais no gerenciamento do risco sanitário, e, conseqüentemente, para a promoção e proteção da saúde, ainda são muitos os desafios que se apresentam para a consolidação da VISA nestes municípios. Isto porque as insuficiências crônicas de recursos de toda natureza, além da histórica disputa de poder entre a instância estadual e municipal na tomada de decisão sobre ações e recursos para a saúde, se aprofunda na medida em que também se consolida o poder dos municípios na assunção de suas competências gerenciais na área da saúde decorrentes do processo de descentralização da saúde. Ao agregar evidências empíricas sobre o processo de descentralização da vigilância sanitária, este estudo busca contribuir para o fortalecimento desse processo no Estado da Bahia, na perspectiva da reorganização das estratégias para implementação das ações da VISA nos municípios baianos no sentido de superar os limites e impulsionar os avanços já adquiridos. / Salvador

A Universidade de São Paulo é a principal instituição de ensino e pesquisa do Brasil e está entre as principais na América Latina. A USP é responsável por cerca de 23% de toda a produção científica brasileira (USP, 2014). É a instituição brasileira com melhores colocações e uma das líderes na América Latina nos rankings internacionais de universidades. A partir de 2014, a USP passou a registrar um desequilíbrio orçamentário, dispendendo mais de 100% dos repasses do Tesouro do Estado de São Paulo apenas para o pagamento de salários de seus servidores, prejudicando os investimentos e gastos com custeio, e obrigando a Universidade a utilizar reservas financeiras. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo identificar as causas e efeitos desse desequilíbrio financeiro da USP no período de 2010 a 2014. O referencial teórico se respalda nos estudos de governança universitária, compliance e teoria de sistemas. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de documentos oficiais e públicos disponibilizados pela USP: atas das reuniões do Conselho Universitário (CO), Comissão de Orçamento e Patrimônio (COP) e Comissão de Legislação e Recursos (CLR); relatórios apresentados pela Coordenadoria de Administração Geral (CODAGE); informes da Reitoria e Anuário Estatístico. Além destes documentos foram visitadas fontes secundárias com ênfase no noticiário e artigos publicados em periódicos como o diário Folha de São Paulo. A análise de dados revelou que: (i) o desequilíbrio financeiro foi causado pela ampliação de gastos promovida no período de 2010 a 2013, especialmente relativos a pagamento de folha de pagamento e benefícios; (ii) foram promovidas mudanças com forte impacto financeiro plurianual e de difícil reversão - especialmente a implantação do plano de carreiras dos servidores técnico-administrativos e duas movimentações de carreira; (iii) foi ampliada a base de beneficiários do auxílio alimentação e vale refeição, além de corrigir os valores dos benefícios acima da inflação acumulada do período. Com isso, observou-se que o desequilíbrio financeiro foi causado pela implantação combinada das ampliações de gastos em curto período de tempo, sem a devida avaliação dos impactos cruzados das decisões e sem os devidos estudos dos efeitos financeiros das decisões a médio e longo prazos. O trabalho, além de registrar uma análise de um período crítico para a Universidade de São Paulo, também apresenta, a partir das conclusões da pesquisa e do referencial teórico, um conjunto de sugestões e recomendações no sentido de aperfeiçoar os processos de governança universitária. / The University of São Paulo is the leading teaching and research institution in Brazil and is among the best in Latin America. USP is responsible for about 23% of all Brazilian scientific production (USP, 2014). It is the Brazilian institution with the best positions and one of the leaders in Latin America in the international rankings of universities. From 2014, USP started to record a budget imbalance, spending more than 100% of its annual income from the São Paulo State Treasury for the payment of the salaries of its employees alone, harming investments and compelling the University to deplete its financial reserves. This study aims to identify the causes and effects of the USP\'s financial imbalance in the period from 2010 to 2014. The theoretical framework is supported in university governance, compliance and systems theory studies. Data collection was conducted from official and public documents provided by the USP: minutes of meetings of the University Council (CO), the Budget and Assets Committee (COP) and the Legislation and Rules Committee (CLR); reports submitted by the General Administration Coordination Office (CODAGE); reports from the Rector´s Office and the Statistical Yearbook. In addition to these documents, secondary sources were visited with emphasis on the news and articles published in periodicals such as the daily newspaper, Folha de São Paulo. The analysis of data revealed that: (i) the financial imbalance was caused by expenses expanded promoted in the period from 2010 to 2013, especially concerning the payroll and benefits; (ii) changes were prompted with a high multi-annual financial impact and which are difficult to reverse - especially the implementation of the technical and administrative staff career plan and two career upgrades; (iii) the base of beneficiaries of food aid and food stamps was vastly expanded, in addition to increasing the amount of the benefits above of accumulated inflation for the same period. Thus, the financial imbalance was caused by a combined implementation of increase in spending within a short period of time, without proper assessment of the cross-impact of those decisions and without risk analysis assessment of the financial effects of these decisions in the medium and long term. The present study in addition to recording an analysis of a critical period for the University of São Paulo, includes in the conclusions of the research and the theoretical framework, a set of suggestions and recommendations to improve the processes of university governance.

The work peruses a study and analysis of integrated management system in the two basic chapters. The first chapter introduction informs the reader about definitions that describe the IMS term the best. An adumbration of developments in approach to quality, environment and the labour safety and protection follows. One part of the work pays attention to developments in numbers of certifications in the Czech Republic and world-wide to show popularity of the IMS as a certificate able instrument. The theoretic part consists of a listing of brief properties of actual standardisation documents valid in the Czech Republic. The most important documents in each area builds so-called criteria standards thus standards defining requests to introduce and maintain the systems properly. Wide part of the work is dedicated to interpretation of such criteria standards. The first part conclusion deals in a method that is a base and resource for the part two. The second part contains characteristics of two analysed companies, description of individual areas using defined criteria and collected information evaluation. The work has been set up on a base of studying lot of information and documents both in electronic and hard copy versions. All of them have been collected from public sources and from said companies in a direct personal cooperation and communication.

This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the current state of company. Subsequently, based on the obtained data, it designs and implements a software development management system. The diploma thesis describes the theoretical basis of the work, the requirements of the company. When choosing a system, it takes into account the individual needs of the selected company. Part of the diploma thesis is a description of the implementation and deployment of the system in the company together with the time analysis.

The diploma thesis deals with the design and implementation of a transparent resource management system at the portfolio level. Its primary task is to present and implement this system, but also to describe the situations that occurred during its implementation at Garrett Motion. In order to better understand the issue, the theoretical foundations of project management and resource management are presented at the beginning of the thesis. These serve as the basis for the following analysis of the company's environment, design and subsequent implementation of the system.

The Master´s thesis concentrates on the internal processes in a company. There are analysed the basic internal processes of all management levels. The Master´s thesis is devided in two basic parts – analysis and improvement proposals. In the proposals I concetrated on improvements making the effectivity of processes higher. Mostly it was making the duration shorter, increase of quality and simplified organisation.

Contemporary small office phone systems are specialized computers that connect a variety of phones within the office and to the local phone company. These systems use digital signaling processors (DSPs) to convert signals from analog to digital and vice-versa. Many different types of applications run on the DSPs and different businesses have varying application needs. Given the systems have limited amounts of DSP resources and growing numbers of applications for a phone system, an administrator needs a way to configure the uses of resources based on their individual business needs. This thesis provides an overview of a system for configuring resources on various types of DSP hardware some of which are removable and have differing tradeoffs between application uses. The system has to be able to change resource allocations while the phone system is running with minimal interruptions to calls. The configuration system needs to be designed to be flexible enough that new applications or DSP hardware could be supported without major changes to code. This thesis presents a system that uses a database-driven model along with algorithms that optimize configuration of DSP hardware given the administrator’s individual application needs.

This thesis suggests a new approach to extend the lifetime of Lithium-ion batteries for a Home Energy Storage System equipped with a renewable energy source. The new configuration improves the lifetime of the energy storage device by using the pulsed charge-discharge method. The batteries in this system can be charged either using solar panels when solar energy is available or by the grid power during off-peak hours when the electricity cost is at its lowest rate. In the new configuration, the battery bank is split into two equal sections to employ pulsed charge-discharge method. Interrupting the charge or discharge current provides a relaxation time for the lithium ions to diffuse gradually into the electrodes material of Lithium-ion batteries, this reduces the damage in the microstructure of the electrodes and thus it helps to prolong the battery lifetime. The spilt bank strategy improves the longevity of Lithium-ion batteries while maximizing the solar energy utilization. This strategy leads to reduce the reliance on the grid power which decreases the consumer’s total energy cost as well. To show the usefulness of the new approach, different modes of operation are discussed in details along with simulation results. An experimental setup is also developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the new approach in extending the Lifetime of Lithium-ion batteries. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Dieser Beitrag erläutert die Umsetzung der Digitalisierung speziell im Anwendungsgebiet des Engineering. Dabei wird die Digitalisierung, sowohl des eigentlichen Produktes als auch der im Rahmen von Service-orientierten Geschäftsmodellen entwickelten Dienstleistung, vorgestellt. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Punkt der Digitalisierung sind die horizontale und vertikale Integration der technischen und administrativen Arbeitsprozesse entlang des Produktlebenszyklus. Bei den vertikalen Integrationen handelt es ich um die Integrationen der Autorensysteme entlang den Lebenszyklusphasen Anforderungsmanagement, Systemarchitektur, CAD in Mechanik, Elektronik, Softwareentwicklung, Simulation, Test, Prozessplanung und Digitale Fabrik. Bei der horizontalen Integration stehen die administrativen Funktionen wie Freigabe-, Änderungs- und Konfigurationsmanagement über den gesamten Produklebenszyklus und die technische Integration der in den einzelnen Produktlebenszyklus-Phasen erzeugten Informationen im Vordergrund. Hier ist vor allem die Verteilung und Orchestrierung der Funktionen zwischen SysLM, MES und PPS relevant.
