No. of bitstreams: 1 silva_dcc_dr_soro.pdf: 4023802 bytes, checksum: 681d7fd51b0d17026ff027af6a129e0a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-11-04 / Fundação de Apoio ao Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (FIPT) / Índices e indicadores ambientais são importantes mecanismos para a comunicação de informações resumidas sobre o estado em que se encontra uma Bacia Hidrográfica. A escolha da Bacia Hidrográfica como unidade de gestão territorial neste estudo foi baseada na Lei 9.433/97, enquanto que, a utilização de índices e indicadores se deve ao fato de sua comprovada eficiência em processos de gestão. Visto isso, elaborou-se um Índice de Sustentabilidade Ambiental de Bacias Hidrográficas (ISABH) que integrou informações sociais, econômicas e ambientais visando analisar a sustentabilidade dessas unidades de gestão territorial e servir de instrumento de comparação entre as Bacias Hidrográficas. Além disso, avaliou-se a correlação espacial entre as Sub-Bacias Hidrográficas com objetivo de identificar padrões ou agrupamentos que possam facilitar a gestão pública dessas unidades. Dentro das dimensões adotadas, os indicadores e índices foram selecionados considerando-se as bases territoriais definidas pelo recorte dos setores censitários municipais bem como pelo recorte das Sub-Bacias Hidrográficas. Nesse caso, o índice privilegiou as variáveis que pudessem gerar uma superfície de distribuição espacial dos dados ao longo da Bacia Hidrográfica. Para o estudo do ISABH escolheu-se a Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Una, que está localizada no interior do Estado de São Paulo a aproximadamente 75km da capital do Estado de São Paulo, no município de Ibiúna. A partir dos resultados obtidos, foi possível verificar que os valores mais baixos do ISABH ocorrem ao sul da Bacia Hidrográfica e estão inseridos na zona rural do município de Ibiúna/SP sob influência de atividades agrícolas e péssimas condições de saneamento básico. Ainda, essas áreas apresentam altas taxas de analfabetismo e baixas taxas de renda per capita dos residentes. Além disso, apenas 19,4% da área de estudo apresentaram valores de ISABH iguais ou acima de 0,60, indicando uma qualidade razoável, longe da desejável, isto é, superior a 0,9. Com relação a qualidade da água, verificou-se uma baixa concentração de oxigênio dissolvido nos corpos hídricos, isto é, abaixo do permitido pela legislação, especialmente nas áreas onde a presença das atividades agrícolas é intensa. Em relação à perda de nutrientes (fertilidade), pode-se afirmar que há uma carência de fósforo no solo ao longo da Bacia Hidrográfica devido a perda desse nutriente por erosão hídrica, resultando em um custo elevado para sua reposição na área de estudo. Esse índice demonstrou ser uma importante ferramenta para fornecer subsídios à formulação de políticas públicas e servir de apoio à tomada de decisão por atores públicos e privados. / Environmental index and indicators are important mechanisms for report summarized information about the state of Watershed. The choice of the Watershed as a territorial management unit in this study was based on Law 9,433/97, while the use of index and indicators is because its proven efficiency in management processes. Therefore, was prepared an Environmental Sustainability Index of Watershed (ISABH) that integrated social, economic and environmental information to analyze the sustainability of these territorial management units and serve as a comparison tool between the Watershed. Furthermore, we evaluated the spatial correlation between the Micro-Watersheds to identify patterns or groups that can facilitate public management of these units. Within the adopted dimensions, indicators and index were selected considering the territorial bases defined by the limits of the municipal census tracts as well as the outline of the Micro-Watersheds. In this case, the index favored the variables that could generate a spatial distribution of surface data along the Watershed. To study the ISABH was choose the Una River Watershed, which is located in the State of São Paulo, approximately 75km from the capital of São Paulo, in the city of Ibiúna. From the results, was found that the lowest values of ISABH occur on south of the watershed and are inserted in the rural city of Ibiúna/SP under the influence of agricultural activities and poor sanitation conditions. Still, these areas have high rates of illiteracy and income per capita lower of the residents. Furthermore, only 19.4% of the study area shows of ISABH values equal or above 0.60, indicating a reasonable quality, far from desirable, i.e, greater than 0.9. Regarding water quality, was verified a low concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water bodies, i.e, below those permitted by law, especially in areas where the presence of agricultural activities are intense. About the loss of nutrients (fertility), it can be checked that there is a phosphorus deficiency in the watershed soil due to loss of this nutrient by water erosion, resulting in a high cost for their replacement in the study area. This index proved to be an important tool to provide input to the formulation of public policies and provide support to decision-making by public and private actors.

Ambulance management system using GIS

Pasha, Imtiyaz January 2006 (has links)
For emergency service providers, giving their service in least time shows their best performance. Emergency hospitals will be at their best if the ambulance reaches the site in Golden hour where life of injured persons can be saved. Ambulance uses the road network to reach the accident site. Today there are many GIS based systems being developed for routing of ambulance using GPS and other real-time technologies. These systems are useful and play a major role in solving the routing problem. But now roads are so congested that it difficult for the Ambulance drivers to travel and reach the accident. In this thesis present study area is studied and problems faced by emergency service providers on road network are identified. In this thesis GIS/GPS/GSM based prototype system has been developed for routing of ambulance on road network of Hyderabad city (AMS). This prototype is designed such that it finds the accident location on the road network and locates the nearest ambulance to incident site using the real-time technologies (GPS/GSM). AMS creates the fastest route from nearest ambulance to accident site, and from there to nearest hospital. Congestion on roads during peak hours is considered, and the fastest route on both major and minor roads is created. In this thesis AMS user interface has been developed using VBA, ArcGIS (network analyst). This Ambulance management system has been developed using software engineering model rapid prototyping model and has been evaluated by GIS users

The responsability of analyst and your practice in hospital / A responsabilidade do analista e sua prÃtica no hospital

GardÃnia Holanda Marques 04 May 2015 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Psychoanalysts have begun to work at hospital institutions predominantly in late 70s. Various academic productions that deal with the relationship between psychoanalysis and its clinical work in the hospital point to an issue that emerge from the practice of each analyst inserted in this space, an issue that emerge from their relationship with desire. We consider that analytic listening, as a tool used to allow patients a different way to elaborate their suffering, brings into account the analyst's responsibility to sustain their praxis. In this perspective, this paper aims to conduct a study on the notion of responsibility for psychoanalysis and to question its challenges in hospital institutions facing the hegemony of the medical discourse, considering that the sustenance of psychoanalysisâ act becomes possible through transference relationship. The method used to achieve these goals was literature review and the study of clinical vignettes. We also performed a study on the state of knowledge of the productions of the last decade on psychoanalysis and hospital; then we have elaborated the notion of responsibility for psychoanalysis and contextualized the practice of the analyst in the hospital. We have finished the survey with vignettes that put into question the responsibility of the analyst and its effects. The results of this research imply that the responsibility of the analyst is in relation to the unconscious and that the position of the analyst and his ethics can provide access to a knowledge of the unconscious. / A entrada de psicanalistas na instituiÃÃo hospitalar inicia-se, predominantemente, no final da dÃcada de 70. As diversas produÃÃes acadÃmicas que versam sobre as relaÃÃes entre a psicanÃlise e seu trabalho clÃnico no hospital apontam para uma questÃo que insurge da prÃtica de cada analista inserido nesse espaÃo, questÃo que advÃm da sua relaÃÃo com o desejo. Consideramos que a escuta analÃtica como ferramenta utilizada para possibilitar ao paciente um modo de elaboraÃÃo outro sobre o seu sofrimento coloca em jogo a responsabilidade do analista em sustentar sua prÃxis. Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um estudo sobre a noÃÃo de responsabilidade para a psicanÃlise e questionar os desafios da mesma na instituiÃÃo frente à hegemonia do discurso mÃdico, assinalando que a sustentaÃÃo de seu ato se torna possÃvel com a relaÃÃo transferencial. O mÃtodo utilizado para atingir tais objetivos foi a revisÃo bibliogrÃfica e o estudo de vinhetas clÃnicas. Realizamos ainda um estudo de estado de conhecimento sobre as produÃÃes da Ãltima dÃcada sobre psicanÃlise e hospital; em seguida elaboramos a noÃÃo de responsabilidade para a psicanÃlise e contextualizamos a prÃtica do analista no hospital. Finalizamos a pesquisa com vinhetas que colocavam em questÃo a responsabilidade do analista e seus efeitos. Os resultados dessa pesquisa concluem que a responsabilidade do analista à em relaÃÃo ao inconsciente e que a posiÃÃo do analista e sua Ãtica podem possibilitar o acesso a um saber do inconsciente.

Fundamentos do diagnóstico e a posição do analista / Foundations of diagnosis and the position of the analyst

Marcia Cristina Maesso 27 October 2011 (has links)
O trabalho refere-se a uma leitura norteada pela psicanálise e pelas suas proposições éticas, acerca dos fundamentos do diagnóstico, situando inicialmente por meio de Freud, Lacan, e outros autores do campo psicanalítico, o diagnóstico como ato de mestria no discurso médico, para posteriormente formular que o avesso desse discurso constitui a condição de conceber o diagnóstico na psicanálise como semidizer a partir da posição do analista na relação transferencial. Considera a hipótese de que, por meio da escrita do caso clínico, o psicanalista orienta-se pelo Real posto na sua praxis, e não pelo ideal científico, na formulação do semidizer diagnóstico. Apresenta no desdobramento da escrita do caso de uma criança identificada ao diagnóstico médico e familiar que a mantinha como deficiente, uma possibilidade de discernimento que preserva a opacidade do sujeito, bem como sua articulação / To begin with, based on the perspectives of writers such as Freud and Lacan, as well as other authors from the field of psychoanalysis, diagnosis is regarded as an act of mastery in medical discourse. It is then argued that the opposite of this discourse represents the conception of diagnosis in psychoanalysis as a half-saying, based on the position of the analyst in the transferential relationship. The study also considers the hypothesis that through writing in clinical cases, when formulating diagnostic half-sayings, the psychoanalyst is guided by the Real encountered in their praxis, and not by the scientific ideal. By focusing on the evolution of the case writing involving a child who was diagnosed by doctors and family members as being disabled, this study advances a possible means of understanding which preserves the opacity of the subject as well as its articulation

Implications of bias and sentiment in the financial market

Wu, Shan January 2016 (has links)
I investigate how career concerns influence banking analysts’ forecasts and find that banking analysts issue relatively more optimistic forecasts early in the year and more pessimistic forecasts later in the year for banks who could be their future employers. This pattern is not observed when the same analysts forecast earnings for banks with no equity research departments. Using the Global Settlement as an exogenous shock on career concerns, I show that this forecast pattern is pronounced after the Settlement. Moreover, I find that analysts benefit from this behaviour as analysts that are more biased in their forecasts towards potential future employers are more likely to move to a higher reputation bank. Textual analysis of analyst reports is also valuable due to the private information and analysis conveyed in the text. Second paper therefore examines analyst reports with consistent and conflicting signals in terms of qualitative and quantitative outputs. I find that investors react more strongly when the sentiment and earnings forecast bias are consistent. Interestingly, when the tone of report text does not coincide with the earnings forecast, investors place greater weight on the text rather than the EPS forecasts. I also find that consistent reports with both optimistic sentiment and forecast bias have a strong positive market reaction but they are low in forecast accuracy. Markedly, forecasts with pessimistic sentiment have higher accuracy than those of optimistic sentiment. Hence, pessimistic sentiment is a good indicator of the quality of forecast reports. Finally, in my last paper, I explore whether there is any association between firm-specific investor sentiment and the subsequent tone of firms' quarterly reports. Firm-specific investor sentiment is measured using the methodology from Aboody et al. (2016), which proxies for market confidence relating to a specific firm. Given the potential cost-benefit trade-off in the reporting strategy, I argue and find different responses from managers in their 10-Qs in terms of their investor sentiment. I focus on the tone of optimism, readability and the proportion of uncertain words in the 10-Q filings. For firms with extremely high levels of investor sentiment, managers tend to be more conservative by using less optimistic words to avoid future disappointment. In comparison, in firms with extremely pessimistic investor sentiment, managers tend to use more optimistic and easy to understand language, and minimize their proportion of uncertainty in their 10-Q filings. By doing so, perhaps they are trying to alter their investor sentiment.

Yakob, Manuel, Belawni, Siham January 2017 (has links)
Abstract   Date: May 29th 2017   Level: Master thesis in Business Administration, 15 ECTS Institution: School of Business, Society and Engineering, Mälardalen University                       Authors: Manuel Yakob & Siham Belawni  Title: Fund analyst’s trustworthiness view and usage of sustainability reports Tutor: Stefan Schiller Keywords: Sustainability report, sustainability accounting, fund analyst’s, fund manager, trustworthiness Research questions: - What do fund analyst’s consider characterize trustworthiness in enterprises voluntary sustainability reports? - To what extent do fund analyst’s use sustainability reports in their business analysis? Purpose: The purpose of this report is to contribute knowledge of aspects that characterize trustworthiness in enterprises sustainability reports and study the sustainability reports meaning and usage for fund analyst’s. Method: The report has a qualitative study to solve our research questions and a set of semi structured telephone interviews were used for our collection of data. Conclusion: The report demonstrates that several elements have an influence on the trustworthiness of enterprises sustainability reports. Presentation of enterprises business goals and sustainability risks and challenges are seen as elements that raise the trustworthiness level of the sustainability report. An audit carried out by a third part is also believed to enhance the trustworthiness view of the sustainability report. Furthermore, the report emphasise that fund analyst’s, to a great extent, consider enterprises sustainability reports in their business analysis. Sustainability reports are found to believe of great significance because they constitute an essential basis for future investment appraisals and valuations. / Sammanfattning         Datum: 29 maj 2017   Nivå: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi, 15 ECTS   Institution: Akademin för Ekonomi, Samhälle och Teknik, EST, Mälardalens högskola   Författare: Manuel Yakob & Siham Belawni   Titel: Fondanalytikers trovärdighetssyn och användning av hållbarhetsrapporter   Handledare: Stefan Schiller   Nyckelord: Hållbarhetsrapport, hållbarhetsredovisning, fondanalytiker, fondförvaltare, trovärdighet Frågeställning:             - Vad anser fondanalytiker kännetecknar trovärdighet i företagens frivilliga hållbarhetsrapporter? - Hur väl använder sig fondanalytiker av hållbarhetsrapporter i deras företagsanalyser? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med kunskap för vad som utmärker trovärdighet gällande företagens hållbarhetsredovisning samt studera hållbarhetsrapportens betydelse och användning för fondanalytiker. Metod: Studien antar en kvalitativforskningsmetod med semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Slutsats: Studiens resultat uppvisar att det förekommer ett flertal faktorer som har en påverkande effekt på trovärdigheten i företagens hållbarhetsrapporter. Bland annat nämns redovisning av företagens mål samt identifiering av dess hållbarhetsrisker och utmaningar som trovärdighetshöjande faktorer. En oberoende parts granskning av hållbarhetsrapporter anses även höja rapportens trovärdighetsnivå. Vidare framhåller studien att fondanalytiker, i stor utsträckning, beaktar hållbarhetsrapporter i deras företagsanalyser. Hållbarhetsrapporterna anses vara av betydelse då rapporten utgör ett viktigt underlag för framtida investeringsbeslut och värderingar.

Lokaliseringsutredning av tankstationer med hjälp av GIS : En fallstudie av Luleå

Boström, Victor January 2017 (has links)
Sweden’s national goal to have all vehicles to be zero emission vehicles by year 2030 puts high demands on the infrastructure of alternative fuels. Most cities in developed countries already have a working infrastructure for conventional fuels that has been planned with regard to its unique conditions, such as traffic and population density. These conditions of a city are surely not going to change even if every car was replaced by a zero emission vehicle. Today’s infrastructure for conventional fuels is therefore suitable also for alternative fuels. Electric vehicles on the other hand takes much more time to reload than it takes to refuel a normal car, which makes service stations less suitable locations for charging them. Electric vehicles’ relatively short range (150-600 km) will most probably not affect how a city’s inhabitants move within the city. In this master thesis the existing infrastructure for both conventional and alternative fuels for public consumption is analyzed, with the purpose to improve its accessibility. The thesis is supposed to facilitate the Municipality of Luleå’s planning before establishing new service stations. The method results in a couple of proposed areas that would benefit the fuel accessibility the most, both to its citizens and to commuters of other cities. Keywords: fuel, gas station, Network Analyst / Sveriges mål om att alla fordon ska vara fossiloberoende år 2030 ställer höga krav på infrastrukturen för alternativa drivmedel. De flesta städer i utvecklade länder har redan en infrastruktur för konventionella drivmedel som är planerad utifrån stadens unika förutsättningar, så som trafik och invånartäthet. Dessa förutsättningar kan man med säkerhet anta kvarstår även om alla dagens bilar byttes ut mot fossiloberoende bilar. Dagens infrastruktur för konventionella drivmedel är därför även lämplig för alternativa drivmedel. Elbilar däremot tar mycket längre tid att ladda än det tar att tanka en vanlig bil, och därför är drivmedelsanläggningar inte den bäst lämpade platsen för laddningsstationer för elbilar. Elbilarnas förhållandevis korta räckvidd (150-600 km) kommer säkerligen inte att påverka hur en stads invånare rör sig genom staden. I det här examensarbetet analyseras den befintliga strukturen för både konventionella och alternativa drivmedel för publik konsumtion, med syftet att förbättra dess tillgänglighet. Arbetet ska underlätta för Luleå kommun i sitt planeringsarbete inför nya etableringar av drivmedelsanläggningar. Metoden leder till förslag på områden som bäst hade ökat tillgängligheten till drivmedel för både stadens invånare och pendlare från andra städer. Sökord: bensinstation, drivmedel, Network Analyst

Nástroje pro katalogizaci otevřených dat / Cataloging tools for OpenData

Šedivec, Tomáš January 2014 (has links)
The whole work is dealing with so-called. OpenData. Since this topic is very extensive, this paper focuses only on cataloging tools (catalogs) for open data. The main reason for this narrower focus is still great variability and new technologies that are of interest not only for the individuals or institutions but also for the whole public administration. For example at the beginning of this work none Czech national open data catalog existed, in the course of writing it managed to launch and now works almost flawlessly. Therefore, it is an important part of a retrospective view. The main objective of this work is to analyze the situation of the national catalogs of open data in selected locations, mapping the requirements of catalogs by avaible documents, creation of criteria and assessed according to criteria selected cataloging tool. Benefits include compiled criteria that can serve additional work or other purposes, and the aforementioned retrospective view. The structure of the work will be divided into several basic blocks, which can be summarized into the structure: Introduction, practical part, analytical part, conclusion. The introduction explains the reasons and aims of work and achievement. The practical part describes the past and present status issues. In the analytical part are assessed as suitable criteria / requirements that are applied to the selected tool. In the end everything is summed up.
