Este trabalho propõe duas novas formas de visualização do prontuário. A primeira é um sumário com as informações mais relevantes do paciente. A segunda é a representação dos dados do paciente através de um diagrama, onde o profissional de saúde pode expressar o design rationale (DR) da consulta. A área de sumarização automática é um problema altamente complexo, e apesar de terem sido usados procedimentos muito simples, o experimento realizado mostrou que o processo foi suficiente para construir um sumário com o mínimo de informações necessárias para que o quadro clínico do paciente pudesse ser entendido. Alguns estudos apontam que a falta de informação sobre o processo de diagnóstico e sobre o planejamento do tratamento é uma das principais falhas de um sistema de prontuário eletrônico. Por isso, foi sugerida uma representação que utiliza diagramas para armazenar e visualizar, além dos dados do paciente, o raciocínio do profissional de saúde durante uma consulta. Essa técnica é conhecida como design rationale, e é usada, principalmente, na área de engenharia de software. Além de propor essas duas novas formas de visualização do prontuário clínico, foi realizado um experimento formal com o objetivo de testar o sumário e o diagrama com DR na prática. O experimento ocorreu em um ambulatório de clínica geral da Unifesp, onde alunos do curso de medicina recebiam o sumário, ou o diagrama com DR, ou o prontuário clínico tradicional e respondiam questões sobre um determinado caso. Os resultados do experimento mostram que o sumário continha informações suficientes para avaliar o quadro clínico do paciente; porém, eles também mostram que o diagrama com DR provavelmente não apresentou nenhuma vantagem em relação ao prontuário tradicional / Abstract: Collaboration between computer science and medicine is growing day by day, and one of the most controversial topics is the electronic patient record (EPR). Despite all scientists agree that the EPR can improve health care quality, how it should behave, or what tools it should provide are still open questions. This work suggests two ways to visualize the EPR. The first is through a summary, with the most important information of the patient. And, the second, is a diagram where the physician is able to express his design rationale. Summarization is a complex problem, and despite very simple procedures were used, the experimental evaluation shows that the summary contains as much information as the traditional EPR. The idea of diagrams to visualize the EPR was originated in a technique called design rationale (DR), used, mostly, in Software Engineering. Its major goal is to reproduce the rationale during a project design. Some researches pointed out that one of the major limitations of EPR is the lack of information about diagnosis processes, and treatment planning. To evaluate these new ways of visualization of the EPR, an experimental evaluation was performed to test the summary and the diagram in real practice. The experiment was conduct in a outpatient care clinic at Unifesp, where medical students use the summary, or the diagram, or the traditional EPR to answer questions about specific patients. The results of the experiment show that the summary was equivalent to the traditional EPR, and that the diagram no not show any leverage to the traditional EPR / Doutorado / Informática Médica / Doutor em Ciência da Computação

É uma pesquisa de base que focaliza uma questão relevante para os desafios atuais que vêm sendo enfrentados na área de ensino de línguas. Na tentativa de priorizar as opiniões reais dos sujeitos, fizemos entrevistas orais semi-estruturadas com grupos de universitários aprendizes de Inglês. Essas entrevistas revelaram várias idéias diferentes sobre a gramática. Tais idéias foram usadas para construir o questionário propriamente dito, o qual as apresentou numa escala tipo Likert. Os sujeitos que responderam ao questionário eram alunos de Inglês Geral ou Instrumental em uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo. Os escores variavam de 1 (mais baixo) a 7 (mais alto) conforme o grau de concordância desses alunos com as declarações propostas. Posteriormente os resultados foram submetidos a uma análise fatorial que gerou 30 fatores independentes, os quais foram correlacionados com certas variáveis, como sexo, área de estudo (humanas, exatas e biológicas) e tipo de curso de Inglês (Geral ou Instrumental). Ao agrupar os itens que os alunos vêem como semelhantes, os fatores revelaram o que subjaz suas respostas e foram nomeados, levando em conta o tipo de concepção delineada sobre a gramática. Finalmente, apresentamos reflexões sobre o papel da gramática na esperança de poder ajudar os professores a promover uma imagem mais positiva da gramática na sala de aula / Abstract: This research investigates the attitudes of the English language learners towards the learning of grammar. It is basic research focusing on an issue relevant to the challenges that have been faced in the area of language teaching. In an attempt to give priority to the true opinions of students, we conducted semistructured interviews with groups of university students learning English. These interviews revealed numerous different ideas about grammar, and these were used to design the questionnaire, which introduced these ideas in a Likert-type format. The subjects responding the questionnaire were students either of general English or English for Specific Purposes at a Public University in São Paulo State. Scores ranged from 1(the lowest) to 7 (the highest), in relation to agreement with the proposed statements. The results were then submitted to factor analysis and generated 30 independent factors. These were correlated to certain variables, i.e., gender, area of study (humanities, sciences or biology) and type of English course (general or specific purposes). By grouping the items of the questionnaire that are considered to be similar by the students, these factors showed what underlies the responses of the learners, and they were labeled, in relation to aspect of grammar involved. Finally, we have presented some reflections about the role of grammar in the hope that this will help teachers promote a more positive image of grammar in the class / Mestrado / Ensino-Aprendizagem de Segunda Lingua e Lingua Estrangeira / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

The objective of this research is to verify how the public policies of teacher education in Brazil have acted for the training of teachers of Natural Sciences, considering the lack of teachers that characterizes the national scenario and the term established until 2024, by the National Plan Of Education (PNE). The motivation for the realization of this research appeared during the graduation when perceiving the lack of contents destined to the teaching of Natural Sciences. This research is part of a larger project coordinated by Professor Renato Santos Araujo, who studies the public policies of teacher training in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Natural Sciences and Mathematics with a focus on the Institutional Program of the Initiation to Teaching Grant (PIBID /CAPES). In this dissertation, part of the first stage of the larger project destined to the training of Natural Sciences teachers will be held. The work is divided into stages: first is the course of Degree in Natural Sciences throughout the twentieth century and it is observed that at the moment it is not clear in the legislation who should teach this discipline in the final years of Elementary School. This justified a bibliographical revision on the teaching of Sciences and the formation of these teachers. In this context, we sought to discuss the knowledge required for the training of these teachers, such as to know the subject, to acquire theoretical knowledge, to make use of research and innovation, to know how to evaluate and others. In this way, it was possible to draw a profile for this professional and clarify that to teach science it is necessary to have specific knowledge and practices. Next, some public policies were presented for the training of teachers, such as PIBID, PARFOR, PRODOCÊNCIA and UAB, in a kind of panorama of what was done by the rulers of this century. Methodologically, a documentary research was conducted, with a quantitative approach. The data sources used were the Statistical Synopses of Higher Education and Basic Education, published by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (INEP) and the CultivEduca Portal created by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The collected data inform about the courses Number of candidates, admissions, enrollments and graduates and on basic education the number of classes, teachers who teach Natural Sciences and their degrees. The data analyzes produced, among other results, estimates for the rates of evasion and estimates of the participants. This analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics and it was possible to emphasize that there was a decrease in the number of vacancies for undergraduate courses in Natural Sciences and that most of the teachers who teach this subject in Brazilian schools do not have the training required by LDB. This Degree tends to be extinguished and replaced by other degrees, such as Biological Sciences. / O objetivo dessa pesquisa é verificar como as políticas públicas de formação de professores no Brasil têm atuado para a formação de professores de Ciências Naturais, tendo em vista a falta de professores que caracteriza o cenário nacional e o prazo estabelecido até 2024, pelo Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE). A motivação para realização dessa pesquisa surgiu ao longo da graduação ao perceber a falta de conteúdos destinados ao ensino de Ciências Naturais. Esta pesquisa está inserida em um projeto maior coordenado pelo Professor Renato Santos Araujo, o qual estuda as políticas públicas de formação de professores de Física, Química, Biologia, Ciências Naturais e Matemática com foco no Programa Institucional de Bolsa Iniciação à Docência (PIBID/CAPES). Nesta dissertação, será realizada parte da primeira etapa do projeto maior destinada à formação de professores de Ciências Naturais. O trabalho está dividido em etapas: primeiramente apresenta-se o curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Naturais ao longo do século XX e observa-se que no momento atual não está claro na legislação quem deve lecionar essa disciplina nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. Isto justificou uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o ensino de Ciências e a formação desses professores. Nesse contexto, buscou-se discutir os saberes necessários para a formação desses docentes como por exemplo conhecer a matéria, adquirir conhecimentos teórico, fazer uso da pesquisa e da inovação, saber avaliar e outros. Dessa forma, foi possível traçar um perfil para esse profissional e esclarecer que para se ensinar Ciências é necessário ter saberes e práticas específicas. Em seguida foram apresentadas algumas políticas públicas destinadas à formação de docentes, como o PIBID, o PARFOR, o PRODOCÊNCIA e a UAB, em uma espécie de panorama do que foi feito pelos governantes neste século. Metodologicamente foi realizada uma pesquisa documental, com abordagem quantitativa. As fontes de dados usadas foram as Sinopses Estatísticas do Ensino Superior e da Educação Básica, publicadas pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais (INEP) e o Portal CultivEduca criado pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados coletados informam sobre os cursos de licenciatura, a oferta de vagas, número de candidatos, ingressos, matrículas e concluintes e sobre a educação básica o número de turmas, docentes que lecionam Ciências Naturais e suas titulações. As análises de dados produziram, dentre outros resultados, estimativas para as taxas de evasão e estimativas de concluintes. Essa análise foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva e foi possível destacar que houve uma diminuição da oferta de vagas para os cursos de Licenciatura em Ciências Naturais e que grande parte dos professores que lecionam essa disciplina nas escolas brasileiras não possuem a formação exigida pela LDB. Essa Licenciatura tende a extinguir-se sendo substituída por outras licenciaturas, como Ciências Biológicas.

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / The relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related violence has been firmly established in a wide array of studies concerning various forms of violence including intimate partner violence, domestic violence as well as sexual assault. One factor which has been highlighted as having a moderating effect on the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression is the specific aggression-related alcohol expectancies concerning the effects of alcohol consumption on aggressive behaviour. In light of the prevalence of alcohol-related violence in South African communities it becomes important to examine the specific factors that moderate the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and violence. The aim of this study was to examine aggressionrelated alcohol expectancies as a moderating factor in the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and to examine the possible influence of exposure to community alcohol-related aggression in the formulation of aggression-related alcohol expectancies. The main objectives of this were to examine aggression-related alcohol expectancies as well as exposure to community alcohol-related aggression as domains for intervention to prevent alcohol-related violence. / South Africa

Breast cancer in women of productive age is a huge problem of the current population. Approximately 52% of women, which were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, were aged 20-64. The aim of this thesis is to discover the influence of surgical solution of breast cancer on women return to their original profession. There were 68 suitable participants, who received surgical treatment, were aged 20-64, with finished treatment and who went back to their original employment. The results show that amongst manually working women, 60,9% return to their original employment, in administrative 78% return, which, in acceptance region of 0,05 (p = 0,142), is not a statisticaly significant difference. Furthermore, it was not found that age and lenght of treatment are connected (p=0,040). It appears that the time it takes to return to employment is significantly connected to the type of operation (acceptance region 0,05, p=0,046). This research shows how important it is for women after breast cancer treatment to receive timely rehabilitational intervention and to return to employment and how this affects their quality of life. Key words: Breast cancer, occupational therapy, return to work, cancer survivors, quality of life, quantitative research

The goal of master thesis is evaluation of efficiency of state aid in the agriculture focusing on food quality marks. At the beginning of the work are described state institutions supporting Czech producers and their products. Evaluation of efficiency is made based on telephone interview with producers and quantitative research among consumers. Telephone interview is conducted with producers who can use a logo Regionalni potravina on their foodstuff. The aim of this research is to find out, if the producers achieved positive results in their sales after obtaining food quality mark. Quantitative research is made among consumers, where the key question is what awareness consumers have about food quality marks, what is the key factor in buying decision and if consumers noticed promotional campaigns of the Ministry of Agriculture focusing on aid of Czech producers with food quality marks. After making research it will be easier to say if state aid is effective or if there are spotted flaws or what.

Apesar de singular e indivisível, a imagem corporal integra múltiplas dimensões, sendo vulnerável a processos dinâmicos internos e externos, estando em constante transformação. A insatisfação corporal está ligada à baixa autoestima e limitações no desempenho psicossocial, associando-se a quadros depressivos, além de estar relacionada aos distúrbios de comportamento alimentar como anorexia, bulimia e comer compulsivo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar os fatores associados à insatisfação corporal entre estudantes regularmente matriculados nas séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do município de Juiz de Fora – MG e identificar as impressões quanto à imagem e insatisfação corporais daqueles com estado nutricional adequado. Foi realizado um estudo de delineamento transversal, de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa, descritivo, analítico e exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por escolares entre oito e doze anos regularmente matriculados no Ensino Fundamental I de uma escola pública de Juiz de Fora - MG. O instrumento utilizado para avaliar a insatisfação corporal foi uma escala de figuras de silhuetas, sendo os demais dados coletados por meio de questionários. A coleta dos dados qualitativos se deu por meio de grupo focal. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados através do pacote estatístico Statistical Software for Professional (STATA), versão 12.0. A medida de associação utilizada foi a Razão de Prevalência (RP), determinada através da regressão de Poisson com estimador de variância robusta. Foi considerado um nível de significância de 5% para a definição do modelo final. A análise do grupo focal foi realizada utilizando-se diretamente os conteúdos provenientes das discussões. Observou-se frequência de insatisfação corporal de 86,5% e sua associação significativa com o porcentagem de gordura corporal, duração da atividade física, escolaridade materna e trabalho materno. Os resultados obtidos através do método qualitativo demonstram a preocupação com o corpo, aparência e com a opinião das outras pessoas a respeito da imagem corporal, além do desejo em realizar alguma alteração corpórea. Também foram observadas a influência da família e da mídia sobre a imagem corporal. A infância e a adolescência são períodos em que se adquirem hábitos que poderão ser levados por toda a vida, além de representarem um público propenso a atitudes inadequadas. Assim, destaca-se a importância em se realizar pesquisas com estes indivíduos, especialmente relativas à imagem corporal, já que a insatisfação com o corpo traz pensamentos e sensações negativos, influenciando a saúde emocional, a qualidade de vida e o convívio social. / The mental picture related to the size and shape of the body, besides the feelings and attitudes related to these characteristics, is designated by the term body image. Although single and indivisible, the body image integrates multiple dimensions, being vulnerable to internal and external dynamic processes and being in constant transformation. Body dissatisfaction is linked to low self-esteem and limitations of the psychosocial performance. It is also associated with depression, as well as being related to eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating. The present study aimed to determine the factors associated to body dissatisfaction among students enrolled in the early grades of elementary school in a public school in the city of Juiz de Fora – MG, and identify the impressions on the body image and body dissatisfaction of those with adequate nutritional status. A cross design of quantitative and qualitative, descriptive, analytical and exploratory study was performed. The sample consisted of children between eight and twelve years, enrolled in the elementary school in a public school of Juiz de Fora - MG. The instrument used to assess body dissatisfaction was a body shape figures scale, and the remaining data was collected through questionnaires. The qualitative data was collected through the focus group method. The quantitative data was analyzed using the statistical package Statistical Software for Professional (STATA) version 12.0. The measure of association used was the prevalence ratio (PR), determined by the Poisson regression with robust variance estimator. It was considered a significance level of 5% for the definition of the final model. The analysis of the focus group was performed using the content of the discussions. It was observed a frequency of body dissatisfaction of 86.5% and significant association with body fat percentage, duration of physical activity, maternal education and maternal employment. The results obtained by the qualitative assay demonstrate the concern with the body appearance and the opinion of others about body image, besides the desire to perform some corporal change. The influence of family and media on body image was also observed. Childhood and adolescence are periods in which people acquire habits that may be taken for life, and they represent people prone to take inadequate attitudes. Thus, it is important to conduct research with these individuals, especially relating to body image, as body dissatisfaction brings negative thoughts and feelings, influencing emotional health, quality of life and social interaction.

Text in English / Scrum is the most adopted and under-researched Agile methodology. The research conducted on Scrum adoption is mainly qualitative. Therefore, there was a need for a quantitative study to investigate Scrum adoption challenges. The general objective of this study was to investigate the factors that have a significant relationship with Scrum adoption as perceived by Scrum practitioners working within South African organisations. To achieve this objective a narrative review to synthesise the existing challenges was conducted, followed by the use of these challenges in the development of a conceptual framework. After that, a survey questionnaire was used to test and evaluate the developed framework. The research findings indicate that relative advantage, complexity, and sprint management are factors that have a significant linear relationship with Scrum adoption. The findings are generalisable to the population, and the author recommends that organisations review the findings during their adoption phase of Scrum. / Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) / University of South Africa (UNISA) / School of Computing / M.Sc.
