The present research has for object the construction of memories of people living near the edge of the Industrial neighborhood, in the city of Aracaju, related to the way in which they perceive and ascribe meaning to the environmental degradation of the existing on-site small beach. Working with the basic assumption that memory re-making experience in relation to the environment inhabited (Bergson, 2006). For both, it was established that the general objective of this research is to analyze how those memories re-makes through the oral accounts collected based on phenomenology and through thematic oral history methodology. This is an exploratory research, interdisciplinary character, with an intentional sampling of 10 subjects over the age of 60 years, who live more than 30 years in that place. It was noticed that the subjects involved in this research they rebuilt their experiences regarding environmental degradation of Industrial neighborhood.s small beach, based on the strength of his memoirs. / A presente pesquisa tem por objeto a construção das memórias de pessoas que habitam nas proximidades da orla do bairro Industrial, na cidade de Aracaju, relacionadas à maneira pela qual elas percebem e atribuem significado à degradação ambiental da prainha existente no local. Trabalha-se com a hipótese básica de que a memória re-faz a experiência vivida em relação ao meio ambiente habitado (Bergson, 2006). Para tanto, estabeleceu-se que o objetivo geral desta pesquisa consiste em analisar como as referidas memórias se re-fazem através dos relatos orais coletados com base na fenomenologia e por meio da metodologia da história oral temática. Trata-se de uma investigação exploratória, de caráter interdisciplinar, que conta com uma amostragem intencional de 10 sujeitos maiores de 60 anos, que vivem a mais de 30 anos no referido local. Percebeu-se que os sujeitos envolvidos nesta pesquisa reconstruíram suas vivências com relação à degradação ambiental da prainha do bairro Industrial, tendo por base a resistência de suas memórias.

Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Estado de Sergipe - FAPITEC/SE / Leprosy is an infectious disease, caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae, chronic, with high capacity of contagion and low capacity of people's illness. In Brazil, it is considered as a public health problem. Aracaju and several of its districts have high detection rates. Aracaju presented in 2011 a detection rate of 21.7 cases for 100 thousand inhabitants, classified as of very high endemicity. The objective of the study was to evaluate the epidemiological and spatial characteristics of leprosy through the database of the Notifiable Diseases Information System, in the Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil neighborhoods from 2011 to 2015. This is an ecological, Retrospective study based on a secondary database of leprosy patients enrolled in the Aracaju Notification of Injury Information System from 2011 to 2015. It was used the Joinpoint Regression Program Version 4.1.1.5, Monte Carlo permutation test and increment Annual Percentage for calculations of temporal trends, besides the TerraView 4.2 program for the development of thematic maps on leprosy indicators. Besides of this, it was used spatial autocorrelation statistics such as Kernel estimation, Global Moran (I) and Local (LISA) Indexes applied to characterize spatial distribution patterns. Through [the Annual Percentage Increment was observed a gradual reduction] of less 10.2 (p <0.05) cases of the disease in the years studied. Brown color, incomplete elementary school education level, female gender and multibacillary operational classification were the most representative in general cases, and the odds ratio of the man belonged to this classification was 2.74 times higher (OR = 2 , 74, 95% CI = 1.94-3.86). The tuberculoid clinical form was more predominant among the cases and the indeterminate had a reduction of less than 19.6 (p <0.05) of the Annual Percentage Increase. The Moran global index was positive and significant (0.41, p <0.01), the cluster with the highest risk for illness and the highest density of the mean incidence of cases for Kernel estimation was located in the central and northern portion of the County. The understanding of the panorama of the geographic distribution and the profile of leprosy patients in Aracaju was relevant because it allowed a greater and better knowledge about the leprosy situation in the city. / A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa, causada pelo bacilo Mycobacterium leprae, crônica, com alta capacidade de contágio e baixa capacidade do adoecimento das pessoas. No Brasil, é considerada como um problema de saúde pública. Aracaju e vários de seus distritos possuem elevadas taxas de detecção. Aracaju apresentou em 2011 um índice de detecção de 21,7 casos para 100 mil habitantes, classificado como de muito alta endemicidade. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar as características epidemiológicas e espaciais da hanseníase através do banco de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificações, nos bairros de Aracaju, Sergipe, Brasil nos anos de 2011 a 2015. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, retrospectivo com base em banco de dados secundários de portadores de hanseníase cadastrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação de Aracaju nos anos de 2011 a 2015. Foi utilizado o Programa de Regressão Joinpoint Versão 4.1.1.5, teste de permutação de Monte Carlo e Incremento Percentual Anual para cálculos de tendências temporais, e o programa TerraView 4.2 para a elaboração de mapas temáticos sobre indicadores de hanseníase. Além de estatísticas de auto correlação espacial como estimativa de Kernel, Índex de Moran Global (I) e Local (LISA) aplicadas para caracterização dos padrões de distribuição espacial. Através [do Incremento Percentual Anual foi constatada uma redução gradual ] de menos 10,2 (p< 0,05) casos da doença nos anos estudados. A cor parda, nível de instrução escolar de ensino fundamental incompleto, sexo feminino e a classificação operacional multibacilar foram os mais representativos nos casos gerais, sendo que a razão de chances do homem pertencer a essa classificação foi 2,74 vezes maior (OR= 2,74; IC95%= 1,94-3,86). A forma clínica tuberculoide foi mais predominante entre os casos e a indeterminada teve uma redução de menos de 19,6 (p< 0,05) do Incremento Percentual Anual. O índice global de Moran foi positivo e significativo (0,41; p< 0,01), o cluster de maior risco para o adoecimento e a maior densidade da incidência média de casos para estimativa de Kernel se localizou na porção centro e norte do município. A compreensão do panorama da distribuição geográfica e do perfil dos portadores da hanseníase em Aracaju foi relevante por poder permitir um maior e melhor conhecimento sobre a situação de hanseníase no município. / São Cristóvão, SE

Current research examines the interdependence between foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development and economic growth. The relationship between the variables in question is studied with reference to transition economies (28 former centrally planned economies). The period of observation covers the transition from centrally planned to market economies 1989-2007. The relationship is analysed using panel data regression models, factor analysis and cointegration tests. The paper suggests that FDI and financial development exert a complementary effect on economic growth, although the latter appears to be insignificant. At the same time, the research provides evidence that FDI is likely to compensate the underdevelopment of financial sector. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare principle Abstract This thesis deals with the concept and selected aspects of the nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare principle. This principle is one of the fundamental pillars of defence in criminal proceedings and is closely related to the right to a fair trial. The thesis focuses on the principle's theoretical starting points and attempts to outline problematic issues related to the interpretation of its content when applied in practice, particularly with regard to the permissible degree of coercion. The first chapter of the thesis deals with the historical development of the principle in both the continental and anglo-american legal systems. The second chapter contains an overview of how the principle is ensrished in international and national sources of law. The third chapter deals with the relationship between the privilege against self-incrimination and the right to remain silent based on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the US Supreme Court. The fourth chapter is devoted to the evidence, in particular the procedural consequences of an infringement in the proceedings, focusing on lawful and unlawful methods of coercion and the individual defects resulting therefrom. The chapter also includes treatise on the doctrine of fruit from a poisoned tree, which...

E-hälsotjänster väntas vara ett verktyg för att möta det framtida växande vårdbehovet till följd av en åldrande befolkning. Via e-hälsotjänster kan den äldre patienten ta del av information om sin hälsa och planerad vård. E-hälsotjänster kan också öka vårdens tillgänglighet genom snabba kontakter och digitala vårdbesök. Det kan leda till ökad delaktighet för den äldre, vilket ger förutsättningar för en bättre hälsa. Men det kräver att äldre börjar använda e-hälsotjänster. En del äldre är inte vana vid digital teknik och riskerar ett digitalt utanförskap. Dock har internetanvändning ökat kraftigt bland äldre de senaste åren och en majoritet är nu internetanvändare. Syfte med studien är att kartlägga äldres användning av internet och e-hälsotjänster samt önskemål om stöd av hälso- och sjukvården för att digitalt kommunicera med hälso- och sjukvården. För att kartlägga äldres användning av internet och e-hälsotjänster togs en enkät fram. Deltagare tillfrågades via sociala medier och på en vårdavdelning, 43 ifyllda enkäter samlades in. Bland deltagarna använder den stora majoriteten internet dagligen och har använt ett flertal olika digitala tjänster. Många uppger sig var kunniga i att använda internet och känner sig trygga med att dela information på internet. De flesta äldre har idag goda förutsättningar att använda e-hälsotjänster och en majoritet i studien har redan gjort det. Äldre är idag intresserade av att vara delaktiga i sin vård. För den minoritet äldre som står helt utanför den digitala världen och inte har förutsättningar att börja använda digital teknik behöver vården säkerställa att de inte får sämre tillgång till vården. En större grupp är de äldre som använder internet och flertal olika internettjänster men inte börjat använda e-hälsotjänster. De behöver stöttas i att komma igång med e-hälsotjänster och kontinuerlig hjälp för att lära sig använda dem.

The subject of my graduation theses is „Proposal and Apply into Practice of a System of Learning Organization“. Because of high competitive conduct in the marketplace and continual progress in all of branches, the continual improving is very important for all companies. Many of workers are often irreplaceable. And company is becoming very vulnerable in the case of his inability or leaving. This problem can be solved by transformation of „a learning organization“. It is the complicated process, when is necessary to change an organization structure, to analyse current working stations and to analyse real organization´s requirements (personal audit). Coessential part is an actual description of working stations, determination and evaluation single worker´s competences and fulfilment evaluation. By establishing „a system of a learning organization“ we can get a target for future and also we put aside a risk so-called „irreplaceable worker“. A practical part is targeted on research. The main instruments are questionnairies and interview. The questionnairies are targeted on worker´s satisfaction, competence and evaluation. Gained information can be used for comparation with the previous research and as a base for a proposal. A theoretical part is targeted on methodology that deals with evaluation of workers and also with components of „a system of learning organization“. It means a methodology of working station´s analyse, determination and evaluation single worker´s competences, methodology 360° etc. The purpose of this work is to propose and apply of „a system of a learning organization“.

Práce se zabývá popisem nového stochastického vícekriteriálního optimalizačního algoritmu MOSOMA (Multiobjective Self-Organizing Migrating Algorithm). Je zde ukázáno, že algoritmus je schopen řešit nejrůznější typy optimalizačních úloh (s jakýmkoli počtem kritérií, s i bez omezujících podmínek, se spojitým i diskrétním stavovým prostorem). Výsledky algoritmu jsou srovnány s dalšími běžně používanými metodami pro vícekriteriální optimalizaci na velké sadě testovacích úloh. Uvedli jsme novou techniku pro výpočet metriky rozprostření (spread) založené na hledání minimální kostry grafu (Minimum Spanning Tree) pro problémy mající více než dvě kritéria. Doporučené hodnoty pro parametry řídící běh algoritmu byly určeny na základě výsledků jejich citlivostní analýzy. Algoritmus MOSOMA je dále úspěšně použit pro řešení různých návrhových úloh z oblasti elektromagnetismu (návrh Yagi-Uda antény a dielektrických filtrů, adaptivní řízení vyzařovaného svazku v časové oblasti…).
