O algoritmo de estimação de estados considera todas as correntes passantes nas linhas do sistema, expressas em coordenadas retangulares, como estadosaseremestimados. Osvaloresmedidosserãofasoresdetensãoecorrenteaquisitados pelas PMUs. A fim de restaurar a observabilidade do sistema com poucas unidades de medição serão considerados dados históricos de potência ativa/reativa demandada para as barras não monitoradas por PMUs, disponibilizados pelas concessionárias de energia elétrica. Esses valores serão considerados como restrições de desigualdade variando entre limites mínimos e máximos em um problema de otimização não linear cujo objetivo é minimizar a soma dos quadrados dos resíduos, sendo esses a diferença entre o valor da grandeza medida pela PMU e o seu correspondente valor estimado, ponderado por suas respectivas covariâncias. Baseado nos valores de corrente estimados, outras grandezas elétricas podem ser calculadas utilizando leis de Kirchhoff. Considerando a topologia radial dos alimentadores de distribuição, a proposta para o processamento de erros grosseiros consiste na divisão da rede elétrica com topologia radial em vários subsistemas, visando reduzir o esforço computacional associado ao processo de estimaçãodeestados. Ametodologiaapresentadaserádivididaeabordadaemduasetapas. A primeira se refere à detecção de erros grosseiros, sendo avaliada pelo valor da FOB para cada subsistema, onde valores acima de um determinado valor limítrofe preestabelecido para cada uma das FOBs indicam a presença de medidas com erros grosseiros. Já a segunda, baseia-se na identificação da PMU responsável por aquisitar medições com erros grosseiros e pauta-se na abordagem por barras fictícias, barras estas em que a potência demandada é nula. Os resultados obtidos são validados através do uso de sistemas testes encontrados na literatura. O problema de otimização é solucionado pelo Método de Pontos Interiores com Barreira de Segurança (Safety Barrier Interior Point Method). / This dissertation presents a novel methodology for bad data detection and identification in the State Estimation process for electrical power distribution systems with radial topology, using Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). The state estimation algorithm considers all branch currents of the system, expresssed in rectangular coordinates, as states to be estimated. The measured values will be phasors acquisited by the PMUs. In order to make the system fully observable with few measurement units, it will be considered historical data of active/reactive power demand for the non-monitored buses, provided by the electrical utilities. These values will be considered as inequality constraints varying between minimum and maximum limits in a non-linear optimization problem which aims to minimize the sum of the squared of the residuals considering the residual being the difference between the measured values by the PMUs and their corresponding estimated values, weighted by its corresponding covariances. Based on the estimated branch currents values, other electrical quantities can be calculated by Kirchhoff’s laws. Consideringtheradialtopology,theproposedapproachforthebaddataprocessingconsists on the electrical network partitioning into various subsystems, which aims to reduce the computational effort associated to the states estimation process. The methodology presented in this work for bad data processing will be divided and implemented into two steps. The first part refers to the bad data detection and it is evaluated by the objective function value for each subsystem, in which high values indicate the presence of bad data. The second part relies on the identification of the PMU which is responsible for acquisitioningbaddataanditisaddressedintwodifferentways. Thefirstoneisaddressed for a single subsystem (single feeder) and is based on the creation of fictitious buses, which will be buses with null power demand. The obtained results are validated by using test systems found in the literature. The optimization problem is solved by the Safety Barrier Interior Point Method.

Dreaming is a complex, multimodal and sequentially organized model of the waking world (Metzinger, 2003). Nightmares are a category of dreams involving threatening scenarios, anxiety and other negative emotions (Hartmann, 1998; Nielsen & Levin, 2007). Dreams and nightmares are explored in this present thesis in the light of psychology and modern cognitive neuroscience as to their nature, function and neural correlates. The three main dream theories and their leading investigations are reviewed to evaluate their evidence and overall explanatory power to account for the function of dreams and nightmares. Random Activation Theories (RATs) claim dreams are biological epiphenomena and by-products of sleep underlying mechanisms (Crick & Mitchison, 1983; Flanagan, 1995, 2000a, 2000b, Hobson & McCarley, 1997). Mood regulation theories consider that the psychological function of dreams is to regulate mood and help with the adaptation of individuals to their current environment such as solving daily concerns and recovery after trauma exposure (Hartmann, 1996; Levin, 1998; Stickgold, 2008; Kramer, 1991a, 1991b, 2014). Threat Simulation Theories of dreams present the evolutionary function for dreaming as a simulating off-line model of the world used to rehearse threatening events encountered in the human ancestral environment (Revonsuo, 2000a). With the threat-simulation system, threats were likely to be recognized and avoidance skills developed to guarantee reproductive success. TST consider nightmares to reflect the threat-simulation system fully activated (Revonsuo, 2000a). Supported by a robust body of evidence TST is concluded to be the most plausible theory at the moment to account as a theoretical explanation of dreams and nightmares

Si l’importance de la communication dans la prise en charge des patients en oncologie n’est plus à démontrer, elle n’en demeure pas moins une difficulté pour les soignants. Les soignants se retrouvent fréquemment confrontés à des contextes communicationnels complexes pour lesquels ils se sentent bien souvent démunis et insuffisamment formés. Des formations adaptées et spécifiques sont nécessaires afin d’assurer un changement durable des stratégies de communication utilisées par les soignants dans leur pratique clinique. Cette thèse vise à apporter une contribution à la formation des soignants à la communication en oncologie et à l’étude du transfert des compétences dans la pratique clinique. Ce travail de thèse porte sur l’analyse de deux contextes de communication différents :l’annonce de mauvaises nouvelles et la communication autour des traitements. Au travers de ces deux contextes, trois objectifs ont été poursuivis :(a) la modélisation d’un programme de formation adapté à un contexte de communication spécifique, (b) l’évaluation de l’efficacité de ce programme de formation ou l’évaluation du transfert des compétences apprises dans la pratique clinique et (c) l’évaluation de l’impact de ce programme de formation à la communication sur le patient (et sur le proche) simulé ou réel.Dans le cadre de ce travail de thèse, nous avons donc pu évaluer l’efficacité de deux formations à la communication spécifiquement développées pour ces deux contextes de communication. La formation à l’annonce de mauvaises nouvelles a permis une amélioration de la répartition du temps consacré à chaque phase du processus d’annonce ainsi que l’acquisition de stratégies de communication. Elle a également permis une augmentation de l’activation physiologique des médecins, reflétant un meilleur niveau d’engagement cognitif et émotionnel dans la tâche. Concernant la formation à la communication donnée en radiothérapie aux équipes multidisciplinaires, elle a permis le transfert des compétences acquises durant la formation dans la pratique clinique. Ces formations ont également montré un impact sur les patients et les proches réels ou simulés en permettant que les soignants leur laissent plus de place pour s’exprimer. La formation à la communication en radiothérapie a également montré un impact sur la satisfaction des patients. Ce travail de thèse souligne l’importance de développer des formations à la communication spécifiques aux différents contextes communicationnels ainsi que la nécessité de travailler à l’optimisation du transfert des compétences acquises durant ces formations dans la pratique clinique. / Doctorat en Sciences psychologiques et de l'éducation / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

This study had the main aim of identifying and analyzing the bad treatments against elderly into the urban limits of the city of Santa Maria / RS, Brazil. Strictly, it meant: placing the relation among existence, frequency, location and types of domestic violence against elderly; identifying the levels of vulnerability to bad treatment cases reported in the police in a department called Policy of the Elderly; and charting the levels of the amount of elderly in risk through geo information. In order to contribute with the process of the analyses of the bad treatments in a more dynamic way, it was used the geomatics because this area of knowledge gives priority to the multidisciplinary, motivating to perform works by using and developing the information technology. In order to reach the proposed aims, a survey in the termination services like Accident Report (AR) was done in the Police of the Elderly in terms of the years 2007/2008. After getting the information, the following categories were established: age, genre, marital status, neighborhood, victim s literacy and profession besides the type of reported aggression, relation aggressed and aggressor. Possessing that information, it was done a cadastral map placing the aggressors in the city what gives origin to the listed categories. For this, it was used the GIS and the computer program ARCVIEW 9, 3. The database is the table of Attributes for ARCVIEW 9, 3 organized by the Excel table. Each column has a field with spatial and non spatial data that were interrelated allowing visualization. In a whole, 350 chips were analyzed but 138 of them were excluded because they did not fit with the aim of the study. It was observed in the study that from those 212 chips that were investigated for bad treatments against elderly, 92 (44%) lived with the partner. According to WHO (2007), almost half of all women murdered are killed by partner or boyfriend. The majority of the elderly have basic education (63.21%), following by High School (9.43%) scoring 72.64%. Considering some years ago education was not as accessible as it is nowadays, that datum is completely justified. The female genre between 70 to 79 years old was what presented higher levels of bad treatments, scoring 63 women. Married women and widows presented the highest levels. Analyzing the type of aggression, this study verified that the physical aggression happens with more frequency, following by psychological (threats) ones and bad treats. From the 42 neighborhoods into the urban limits of the city of Santa Maria RS, it was verified that the largest concentration of bad treatments against elderly is placed in the neighborhoods: center with 22 complaints; Camobi with 17 complaints; Passo da Areia with 15 complaints. Among the aggressors, 83 were sons, 24 were daughters and 19 were victim s neighbors. Relating the indexes presented by the Police of the Elderly, it is important to clarify that they do not represent the whole amount of the bad treatments there are in our society. There are elderly who do not denounce the violence, the aggressions and the contempt situation in which they live. / Este estudo apresentou como objetivo principal identificar e analisar a prevalência de maus tratos contra idosos no perímetro urbano do município de Santa Maria/RS. Especificamente, buscou-se: espacializar a relação entre existência, frequência localização e tipos de maus tratos domésticos contra idosos; identificar os níveis de vulnerabilidade para casos de maus-tratos notificados através da Delegacia do Idoso; e mapear os níveis de concentração de idosos em situação de risco, analisando com a aplicação de geotecnologias da informação. Para contribuir com o processo de análise dos maus tratos tornando-o mais dinâmico, utilizou-se a Geomática, por ser uma área de conhecimento que prioriza a multidisciplinariedade, incentivando a realização de trabalhos através do uso e desenvolvimento da tecnologia da informação. Para atender aos objetivos propostos foi realizado um levantamento nos serviços de denúncia do tipo Boletim de Ocorrência (BO), junto a Delegacia do Idoso referente aos anos de 2007/2008. Após a obtenção dos dados foram estabelecidas as seguintes categorias: idade, sexo, estado civil, bairro, grau de instrução e profissão do agredido, além do tipo de agressão declarada, relação agredido/agressor. Com os dados referidos elaborou-se um mapa cadastral, que identificasse no ambiente urbano do município a espacialização dos agredidos, gerando assim as relações entre as categorias elencadas. Utilizou-se o SIG e programa computacional ARCVIEW 9.3. O Banco de Dados é a tabela de Atributos do aplicativo ARCVIEW 9.3, organizada com a tabela Excel. Cada coluna contém um campo com dados espaciais e não espaciais que foram relacionados entre si permitindo sua visualização. Ao todo, foram analisadas 350 fichas. Destas foram excluídos 138 fichas por não se encaixarem aos objetivos do estudo. Observou-se no estudo que das 212 fichas investigadas de notificação de maus-tratos contra o idoso, 92 (44%) viviam com o companheiro. Segundo a OMS (2007), quase metade das mulheres assassinadas são mortas pelo companheiro ou namorado. A maioria dos idosos possui Ensino Fundamental (63,21%), seguido por Ensino Médio (9,43%) totalizando 72,64%. Este dado é plenamente justificável considerando que a educação há alguns anos não era tão acessível como atualmente. O sexo feminino foi o que apresentou maior incidência de maus tratos na faixa etária de 70 a 79 anos com 63 mulheres. As mulheres casadas (52) e viúvas (67) foram as que apresentaram a maior prevalência. Analisando o tipo de agressão, verificou-se neste estudo, que a agressão física é a mais frequente, seguida de agressões psicológicas/ameaças, e maus tratos. Dos 42 bairros constantes na Divisão administrativa do perímetro urbano do município de Santa Maria RS verificou-se que a maior concentração de maus tratos contra idosos está localizada nos bairros: Centro com 22 denúncias, Camobi com 17; Passo D Areia 15 notificações. Conforme a relação com agressor quem mais agrediu foram 83 filhos, 24 filhas e 19 vizinhos. Relacionando aos números apresentados pela Delegacia do Idoso, é importante esclarecer que não significam a totalidade dos maus tratos existentes em nossa sociedade. Há ainda muitos idosos que não denunciam a situação de violência, agressões e menosprezo em que vivem.

Title: Bereavement in people with developmental disabilities Author: Kristýna Štaffová Department: Department of Special Education Supervisor: doc. PhDr. Jan Šiška, Ph.D. Abstract This thesis is devoted to the topic of mourning of people with developmental disabilities. In this paper we focus on the positive influence of the grieving process before it starts, that means, how can we inform an individual with developmental disabilities in a sensitive way about an illness or a death of his beloved. In the introduction we describe bases which are characteristic for people with developmental disabilities and which are useful to consider when communicating bad news. Subsequent chapters are devoted to describing the preparation and process of telling bad news to people with developmental disabilities. The thesis is supplemented by practical examples for better representation of the discussed topic. The conclusion is dedicated to description of the grieving process of 3 persons with developmental disabilities. Key Words person with developmental disabilities, dying, death, grieving, grief, grieving process, bereavement, loss, bad news

<p>Doktorskom disertacijom je dokazano da postojeće metode detekcije i identifikacije loših podataka nisu primenjive na distributivne mreže usled njihovih specifičnosti u stepenu redundanse merenja i broja pseudo merenja. Dodatno, razvijeni su algoritmi detekcije loših oblasti primenom dekuplovanog Hi-kvadrat testa, identifikacije loših merenja primenom novo definisanih izbeljenih reziduala, estimacije fazne konektivnosti primenom uslovnih ograničenja u estimatoru stanja, i korekcije pseudo merenja primenom informacija sa pametnih brojila. Navedeni algoritmi su specijalizovani za distributivne mreže i verifikovani primenom na dva test sistema.</p> / <p>The doctoral dissertation has demonstrated that conventional bad data detection and<br />identification methods cannot be efficiently applied in distribution networks, due to<br />their characteristics such as low measurement redundancy, number of pseudo<br />measurements and level of measurements correlation. In addition, the doctoral<br />dissertation described newly developed algorithms for bad area detection based on<br />decoupled Chi-squares test, bad data identification using newly defined whitened<br />residuals, estimation of phase connectivity by extension of state estimation with<br />conditional constraints and correction of pseudo measurements using AMI data.

SJUKSKÖTERSKORS UPPLEVELSER OCH ERFARENHETER AV BRYTPUNKTSSAMTAL MED PATIENT I LIVETS SLUTSKEDELITTERATURSTUDIEHolgersson M, Johannesson J. Sjuksköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av brytpunktssamtal med patient i livets slutskede. Examensarbete i omvårdnad 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö Universitet: Fakulteten för Hälsa och samhälle, Institutionen för vårdvetenskap, 2020.Vid ett brytpunktssamtal har sjuksköterskorna en framträdande och viktig roll. Då patienten är i livets slutskede och vården går från botande till lindrande är det viktigt att det sker i rätt tid och på rätt sätt. Sjuksköterskors medverkan vid brytpunktssamtalet ska medföra en trygghet för patient och anhörig och genom sin kännedom om patienten kan sjuksköterskorna bidra till en bättre omvårdnad vid livets slut. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter runt brytpunktssamtal med patienter i livets slutskede. Metod: En litteraturstudie utfördes där tio artiklar med kvalitativ design som svarade upp mot syftet valdes ut. En innehållsanalys genomfördes där artiklarna granskades och syntetiserades ner till ett resultat. Resultat: Resultatet mynnade ut i fyra huvudteman: Kommunikation inom teamet och med patient och anhörig. Interaktionen i teamet och med patient och anhörig. Relationer och upplevelser i mötet med patient och anhörig och slutligen sjuksköterskors upplevelser och känslor i sitt arbete med patienten före, under och efter brytpunktssamtal. Sjuksköterskorna i studien efterlyste mer utbildning i att hantera sin roll vid brytpunktsamtal. Sjuksköterskorna har ofta vårdat patienten under en längre tid och har skapat en relation och lärt sig vad som är viktigt för just den patienten vilket är en stor tillgång under brytpunksamtalet för att tillgodose patientens önskemål och skapa förutsättningar för god omvårdnad. Konklusion: Kommunikation i teamet och förberedelser är viktigt i arbetet runt patient och anhörig vid brytpunktssamtal. Sjuksköterskorna behöver utbildning och erfarenhet av brytpunktssamtal för att känna sig trygg i sin roll för att utgöra ett bra och tydligt stöd för patient och anhörig i brytpunktssamtal. Nyckelord: Brytpunktssamtal, erfarenheter, palliativ vård, sjuksköterskor, upplevelser. / NURSÉS EXPERIENCES IN BREAKING BAD NEWS DIALOGUES WITH PATIENTS IN THE END OF LIFEA LITERATURE REVIEWHolgersson M, Johannesson J. Nursés experiences in breaking bad news dialogues with patients in the end of life. Degree Project in nursing 15 credit points, Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Care Science, 2020.The nurses has a prominent and important role in breaking bad news dialogues. As the patient is in the final stage of life and the care goes from curative to palliative, it is important that this is done at the right time and in the right way. The nurse´s participation in breaking bad news dialogues should bring a feeling of safety for both the patient and relatives and through the knowledge of the patient the nurses can contribute to a better care in the final stages of life. Purpose: The purpose with the study was to analyze nurses experience and knowledge about breaking bad news dialogues with patients in the final stages of life. Method: A literature study was conducted where ten articles of qualitative design that responded to the purpose were selected. A content analysis was done where the articles were reviewed and synthesized down to a result. Result: The outcome resulted in four main themes. Communication within the team and with patient and relatives. The interaction in the team and with the patient and relatives. Relationships and experiences in the meeting with patient and relative and finally the nurse´s experiences and emotions in their work with the patient before, under and after breaking the bad news. The nurse has often cared for the patient during a longer period of time and has created a relationship and learned what is important for that particular patient which is a huge asset during the breakpoint dialogue to meet the patient´s wishes and create conditions for good nursing. Conclusion: Communication in the team and preparation are important in the work regarding patient and relatives in breaking bad news dialogues. The nurse need education and experience in breaking bad news dialogues to feel safe in her role to be a good and distinct support for patient and relative in breaking bad news dialogues. Keyword: Breaking bad news, life experiences, lived experiences, nurses, palliative care.

The object of the following Diploma thesis was to design and test a simple and well-arranged credit tool – a Rating Model (further Model) which could be used as a preventative measure in credit policy. This rating model was designed in order to make the work of the Credit Risk Management sub-department and Rating Committee of KORADO more effective and at the same time to make more effective use of currently available internal and external data. Should the Company decide to use this Rating Model, a minimum of additional expenses would be incurred. The reader of this work will gain theoretical knowledge regarding financial analysis, credit management and fuzzy logic which is used in the calculation of a Total Rating. He/she will become acquainted with the major external agencies providing rating evaluations. As well, the reader may apprise the theoretical Rating model, including its practical use on four domestic and four overseas customers of KORADO. In conclusion there is an implementation of the Model, including a time schedule, an implementation team proposal as well as a budget of implementation and utilization costs.
