Tem por objetivo analisar o processo de implantação da gestão compartilhada com a Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. O problema que demanda a tomada de decisão é a adequação da reestruturação do hospital para propiciar melhorias na implantação da gestão compartilhada com a Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (EBSERH). O objetivo geral constituiu em investigar como está sendo implantada a gestão compartilhada com a EBSERH no Hospital Universitário da UFJF. Os aspectos teóricos abordados na pesquisa foram referentes à gestão compartilhada, o plano diretor e a gestão da qualidade, com vistas ao planejamento, monitoramento, política de pessoal e acreditação hospitalar. A metodologia de trabalho ocorreu por pesquisa documental à legislação, processos administrativos e judiciais, atas de reunião e de conselhos, contrato e planos, por pesquisa bibliográfica de livros e artigos impressos e da rede mundial de computadores. O resultado da pesquisa demonstrou positivamente que o quadro de pessoal vem sendo reforçado com a admissão por concurso de vários funcionários. Por outro lado, o orçamento do Hospital Universitário da UFJF não comporta todas as despesas de infraestrutura e modernização hospitalar, impactando inclusive na composição completa do quadro de pessoal, há a ausência de ação orçamentária específica para capacitação, o Hospital não é acreditado pela Organização Nacional de Acreditação, há deficiência no planejamento do Plano Diretor de sobrecarga de ações e atividades para o primeiro ano de execução, de correlação parcial entre as suas ações e os objetivos e de ausência de contemplação específica de uma ação para reestruturar o parque tecnológico, que é uma diretriz do REHUF, e por último, há fragilidade no monitoramento do Plano Diretor. O plano de ação educacional contemplou as possíveis ações adequadas a aperfeiçoar a gestão do Hospital Universitário da UFJF, que são a disponibilização de recursos financeiros, inclusão de ação orçamentária específica de capacitação, adoção de procedimentos compatíveis com a acreditação hospitalar, reelaboração do cronograma de atividades e ações do PDE, readequação entre as ações e objetivos específicos do PDE, inclusão atividade no PDE relativa ao parque tecnológico e a criação de um programa de monitoramento do plano diretor. / This work was developed in the Professional Master in Management and Education Assessment (PPGP) of the Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). It aims to analyze the shared management implementation process with the Brazilian Hospital Services at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The problem that demands decision making is the adequacy of hospital restructuring to provide improvements in the implementation of shared management with the Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (Ebserh). The overall objective constituted to investigate how it is being implemented in shared management with Ebserh at the Hospital Universitário da UFJF. The theoretical aspects addressed in this study were related to the shared management, the master plan and quality management, with a view to planning, monitoring, personnel policy and hospital accreditation. The methodology occurred documentary research the legislation, administrative and judicial proceedings, meeting minutes and advice, contract and plans for literature books and printed articles and the World Wide Web. The survey results showed positively that the staff has been reinforced by the admission by competition from several officials. On the other hand, the budget of the Hospital Universitário da UFJF does not include all infrastructure costs and hospital modernization, impacting including the full composition of the staff, there is no specific budget action for capacity building, the hospital is not accredited by the Organização Nacional de Acreditação, there is deficiency in the design of the Master Plan overload actions and activities for the first year of implementation, partial correlation between their actions and objectives and the absence of specific contemplation of an action to restructure the technology park, which is a guideline of REHUF, and lastly, there is weakness in monitoring the Master Plan. The educational action plan contemplated the possible appropriate actions to improve the management of the Hospital Universitário da UFJF, which are the provision of financial resources, including specific budget action training, adopting consistent procedures with hospital accreditation, reworking the schedule activities and actions of the Master Plan, readjusting between actions and specific objectives of the Master Plan, including activity in the Master Plan on the technology park and the creation of a monitoring program of the master plan.

O aporte dessas substâncias nos corpos hídricos suscita riscos para o meio ambiente e saúde pública. Atualmente existe a preocupação principalmente no que se diz respeito ao descarte de medicamentos de uso domiciliar, pois não existem regulamentos específicos para tal no Brasil. O equacionamento do problema envolve a proposição de medidas conjuntas, com a participação dos consumidores, fabricantes, distribuidores de medicamentos, e o poder público. Esta pesquisa visou levantar dados e informações junto às farmácias e drogarias, unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) e população, bem como propor diretrizes para a implantação de programas de gestão e gerenciamento de resíduos de medicamentos de uso domiciliar no município de Limeira - SP. Nas entrevistas realizadas junto às 92 farmácias e drogarias de Limeira, conveniadas a AFAL - Associação de Farmácias de Limeira, e nas 14 Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município, identificou-se que os programas de coleta de medicamentos de uso domiciliar existentes não são eficazes e possuem abrangência limitada. As entrevistas realizadas junto à população do município identificaram os hábitos relacionados ao consumo, armazenamento e descarte de medicamentos, assim como a conscientização e sensibilização da população a cerca dos impactos do descarte inadequado destes resíduos. Em relação à forma de descarte dos medicamentos de uso domiciliar observou-se que dos 437 indivíduos entrevistados 1,5% retornam seus medicamentos vencidos nas farmácias; 12% retornam a alguma UBS; 6% armazenam, uma vez que não sabem como descartar; 68% descartam no lixo; 10% descartam no vaso sanitário ou na pia; e 2,5% queimam. Observou-se ainda que cerca de 40% dos indivíduos entrevistados não tem consciência dos impactos decorrentes do descarte inadequado e mais de 70% nunca receberam orientações sobre o descarte adequado. Os resultados indicam a necessidade da implantação de diretrizes consolidadas para elaboração de um plano de gestão e gerenciamento no município, embasados na logística reversa e responsabilidade compartilhada dos atores envolvidos na gestão dos resíduos de medicamentos de uso domiciliar. Com base nos dados levantados nesta pesquisa, foram formuladas diretrizes para a gestão e o gerenciamento destes resíduos e proposto um modelo de logística reversa para os mesmos, no âmbito municipal / Abstract: The pharmaceutical products have been widely used in human medicine, veterinary medicine, such as cosmetics and personal care products, being characterized as emerging substances and character polluter. The intake of these substances in water bodies raises risks for the environment and public health. Currently there is a concern especially in respect to the discarding of medicinal products for home, as there are no specific regulations for such in Brazil. The solving the problem involves the proposition of joint measures, with the participation of consumers, manufacturers, distributors of medicines, and the public power. This research took as case study of the municipality of Limeira, SP aiming at getting data and information from pharmacies and drugstores, basic health units and population, and propose guidelines for the implementation of programs of management and waste management of medicines household in the city. In the interviews with the 92 pharmacies and drugstores of Limeira, those affiliated the AFAL - Association of Pharmacies of Limeira, and in the 14 Basic Health Units of the municipality, it is identified that the collection programs of medicines to use existing home are not effective and have limited scope. The interviews conducted with the population of the municipality identified the habits related to consumption, storage and disposal of drugs, as well as the understanding and awareness of the population to some of the impacts of improper disposal of residues of medicinal products. In relation to the form of discarding of medicinal products for use at home it was observed that the 437 individuals interviewed 1.5 % return their medicines accrued in pharmacies; 12% are returning to some health unit; 6% store, since it does not know how discard; 68% are discarding in the trash; 10% are discarding the toilet or in the sink; and 2.5 % burn the medicines. It was observed that about 40% of the individuals interviewed are not aware of the impacts arising from the discard inappropriate and more than 70% never received guidelines about proper disposal. The results indicate the need for the deployment of consolidated guidelines for preparation of a management plan and management in the municipality, based in reverse logistics and shared responsibility of the actors involved in the management of waste medicines for use at home. Based on data gathered in this survey, were formulated guidelines for the management and management of the waste of medicines for use at home and was proposed a model of reverse logistics for the same, at the municipal level / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestra em Tecnologia

A água como premissa positiva nas relações internacionais: a lógica da cooperação que contraria a hipótese de conflito violento / Water as a positive premise in international relations: the logic of cooperation which contradicts the hypothesis of violent conflict

Douglas de Castro 11 April 2014 (has links)
As agendas de pesquisa em relações internacionais que se dedicam aos recursos hídricos compartilhados entre Estados aplicam a lógica econômica de que quanto mais escasso o recurso maior a competição por ele. Essa lógica leva à conclusão de que a escassez da água conduzirá os Estados a um ambiente de competição cujo fim inevitável é o conflito violento. No entanto, essa tendência não se confirma na realidade por conta da proliferação, sem precedentes, de tratados internacionais sobre água compartilhada e mecanismos institucionais de gestão compartilhada em muitas bacias hidrográficas no mundo. O presente estudo inferiu a existência de um mecanismo causal com base na interdependência física existente entre os Estados na bacia hidrográfica e o testou empiricamente nos casos da bacia do rio Jordão e Colorado/Grande por meio do método de process tracing. Os testes empíricos identificaram a grande relevância da interdependência física para os Estados que compartilham a água a tal ponto de iniciarem processos de cooperação mais ou menos institucionalizados que geraram um ambiente mais estável politicamente. Com isso, conclui-se a relevância da interdependência física como condição minimamente suficiente para conduzir os Estados ribeirinhos a processos de cooperação, embora não se exclua a possibilidade de conflitos violentos / Research agendas in international relations that are devoted to shared water resources between states apply economic logic that the more scarce the resource the more will be the competition for it. This logic makes research agendas to conclude that water scarcity will lead states to a competitive environment which the inevitable end is the violent conflict. However, this trend is not confirmed in reality due to the unprecedented proliferation of international treaties on shared water and institutional mechanisms for joint management in many river basins around the world.This study inferred the existence of a causal mechanism based on existing physical interdependence among states in the watershed and tested it empirically in the cases of Jordan and Colorado/Grande river basins by the method of process tracing. Empirical tests have identified the great relevance of physical interdependence among states that share the water to the point of starting more or less institutionalized cooperation processes that generated a more politically stable environment. Therefore, concludes the relevance of physical interdependence as a minimal sufficient condition that drive the riparian states to cooperation processes, although it does not exclude the possibility of violent conflicts

”Att hela tiden försöka förstå den andre, eller de andras perspektiv för det är där det börjar” : En fallstudie av ett webbutvecklingsteam utifrån ett Shared Mental Model perspektiv­

Bjärnander Borrman, Vanessa January 2017 (has links)
The focus of this study is based on a web development team working within the confines of a Swedish authority. It has been recognized that web development teams are struggling to cooperate and work in high capacity efficiency, mostly due to the nature of the multifarious tasks at hand and their lack of understanding of each respective roles within the team. In lieu of this major downfall, establishing a mental model faceted way of thinking and working may improve effectiveness, communication and collaboration amongst all members of a functioning team. A shared mental model is developed through four stages of cognitive processes; knowing, learning, understanding and executing. The purpose of this study is to examine and show an example of how shared mental models can be developed in an existing web development team. By analyzing two workshop practices, this study aims to answer the following questions: How can workshop practices “visualizing user stories” as well as facilitating “design studio sessions” be used to establish common understanding within the web development team? How can four stages of cognitive processes (knowing, learning, understanding and executing) for developing shared mental models be understood? Participant observation and interviews are among research methods used. The ‘Shared Mental Model’ by Cannon-Bowers et al. (1993) is the primary theoretical framework used here. The results of this study indicate how workshop practices such as visualizing user stories well as conducting design studio sessions contribute to a common understanding due to increased social interaction among team members. The results also indicate that the web development team has been unable to process and exchange relevant information with each other during the initial stages of learning and development due to the lack of team building activities. This, in return affects further development of the shared mental model in the following steps. / I denna studie undersöks en svensk myndighets webbutvecklingsteam som i dag arbetar med att göra om myndighetens webbsida vilket inkluderar framtagning av nya gränssnitt och funktioner. I många fall har det visat sig att system- och webbutvecklingsteam har problem med att förhandla fram en gemensam förståelse. Dels på grund av de olika roller som ingår i ett team men även på grund av arbetsuppgifternas komplexitet och struktur. Svårigheter med att kommunicera, koordinera och samarbeta effektivt upplevs vara centralt i system- och webbutvecklingsprojekt. Att utveckla en gemensam förståelse tillika delade mentala modeller (hädanefter DMM, eng. Shared Mental Models) för lag- och uppgiftsarbetet kan förenkla kommunikation, koordination och samarbete inom ett team. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att illustrera ett exempel på hur DMM skulle kunna utvecklas inom ett webbutvecklingsteam. Webbutvecklingsteamet studeras och analyseras utifrån fyra steg av kognitiva processer (vetande, lärande, förståelse och verkställande) som demonstrerar hur DMM utvecklas steg för steg. Uppsatsen ämnar därmed att besvara följande frågor: Hur kan workshoppraktikerna ”visualisering av användarresa” och ”designstudio” bidra till etableringen av den gemensamma förståelsen inom myndighetens webbutvecklingsteam? Hur kan webbutvecklingsteamet förstås utifrån de fyra stegen av kognitiva processer; vetande, lärande, förståelse och verkställande om hur DMM utvecklas? Studien rymmer inom ramen för en fallstudie där deltagande observationer och intervjuer har nyttjats som metoder för insamling av empiriskt material. Teorin om DMM av Cannon-Bowers et al. (1993) är studiens primära teoretiska utgångspunkt. Sammanfattningsvis har studien lett fram till att de två workshoppraktikerna – visualisering av användarresa och designstudio – har bidragit till etablering av den gemensamma förståelsen i det stora hela genom social interaktion. Vidare har studiens resultat visat att webbutvecklingsteamet brister i vetandefasen eftersom teamet inte har utbyt relevant information om sig själva genom team building aktiviteter. Detta påverkar sedermera vidareutvecklingen av DMM i nästkommande steg.

Empathy for Pain : And its Neural Correlates

Löfstrand, Emelie January 2016 (has links)
The phenomenon of empathy has been fascinating laymen and scholars for centuries and has recently been an important subject for cognitive neuroscientific study. Empathy refers to the ability to understand and share others’ emotions and a characteristic of this ability is the capacity to empathize with others in pain. This review intends to examine and read up on the current state of the field of the neural and behavioral mechanisms associated with empathy for pain. The neural underpinnings of the first-hand experience of pain have been shown to be activated in a person observing the suffering individual, and this similarity in brain activity has been referred to as shared networks. This phenomenon plays an important role in the study of empathy. However, different factors have been shown to influence empathy for pain, such as age, gender, affective link between observer and sufferer, as well as phylogenetic similarity. This thesis discusses these differences, as well as atypical aspects affecting the empathic ability such as synaesthesia for pain, psychopathy and Asperger’s disease. Further, empathy for pain can be modulated by the individual observing someone in pain. For example, caregivers often down-regulate their empathic response to patients in pain, possibly in order to focus on their treatment and assistance. Also, paying attention to harmful stimuli heightens the perception of pain; therefore, the painful experience can be less remarkable when focusing on something else. The effect of empathy from others directed to oneself when suffering is discussed, as well as the consistency and limitations of presented research.

The Role of Awareness in Software Projects

Kiani, Zia Ur Rehman, Riaz, Aamer January 2013 (has links)
Global software development is more challenging than the collocated software development. It requires extra effort to provide necessary information for coordinating the tasks activities which is natural in a collocated environment. Regardless of the task domain, team awareness (task awareness and presence awareness) is essential for coordinating the task activities both in collocated and distributed teams. As distance between the teams grows it requires disseminating the awareness information among team members to support coordination. In this study, we investigate how does the team awareness interact with other team cognition mechanisms like familiarity (i.e. task familiarity and team familiarity) and shared mental models (i.e. shared mental models of the task and shared mental models of the team). We also see how familiarity and shared mental models interact with each other. Then, we conjure its implications on coordination and team performance. Further, we investigate the level of team awareness on four segments of distance which are defined based on the distance between the pairs of teams (i.e. from collocated teams to the teams that are distributed across different time-zones). We used snowballing technique (i.e. forward snowballing and backward snowballing) for the literature review and conducted survey and semi-structures interviews for data collection. We found that team awareness has a positive effect on team cognition mechanisms (familiarity and shared mental models) and consequently has positive implications on coordination. Therefore, we postulate that team performance improves by providing the necessary awareness information to the software development teams. We found that, in addition to distance, there are other factors like task size, team size, team type and communication that also affect the team awareness in collocated and distributed collaborative software development teams. Finally, we presented a list of factors that can be incorporated in collaborative learning and development tools. / +46 455 38 50 00

Accounting for Value : Using Social Return on Investment (SROI) to measure the value created by CSR initiatives

Taliaferro, Thomas January 2012 (has links)
The role of the corporation is shifting from an entity focused on making monetary profits to an organization focused on creating value for all of its stakeholders. Despite of this many of the guidelines, standards and reporting frameworks that have been developed to take into account the increasing stakeholder expectations only capture corporate inputs and outputs relating to social initiatives. By not understanding the value created by social initiatives information is missed that could be useful to the organization and its stakeholders. The purpose of this study has therefore been to see if the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology can be a viable tool for companies to use for measuring the value created by CSR activities. This has been accomplished via a case study of a CSR initiative funded by a multinational wind power company in India, and more specifically the building and use of a traditional water harvesting structure called a taanka. Having gone through the six steps of SROI, including monetization of all non-market social, environmental and economic values, the results show that for every Indian Rupee (INR) invested into the studied CSR initiative 29 INR of social value have been created for the stakeholders. The results also show the relation between different inputs and outcomes for the stakeholders affected by the initiative. By analyzing the results several lessons for the construction of future taankas can be learnt. Each taanka should for instance be constructed for as many households as possible and ownership should be shared by the users. More resources should also be allocated to following up the outcomes created by CSR initiatives to help to maximize the efficiency of the resources used to create social value. The methodology can also be used to understand the shared corporate and societal values created by measuring the value created for both the company and the stakeholders, which in turn is useful when deciding on the allocation of corporate resources.

Control strategy for a mono-inverter multi-PMSM system - Stability and efficiency

Liu, Tianyi 15 December 2017 (has links) (PDF)
During these decades, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) has become a vital part of military, industry and civil applications due to the advantages of high power density, high efficiency, high reliability and simple structure, small volume and light weight. Sometimes, multiple PMSMs are used to carry out cooperative functions. For example, the bogie of a locomotive, the flight control surface of an airplane. These PMSMs usually operates at the same speed. To reduce the volume and weight, an idea of sharing the static power conversion devices, which is called Mono-Inverter Multi-PMSM system (MIMPMSM), is raised. Although many researchers have given different controller solutions for the MIMPMSM system, most of them are not clear in the aspects of system stability and efficiency issues. This has become the biggest obstacle to the practical use of MIMPMSM. Oriented with these problems, starting with a MIMPMSM system with 2 motors, in the first step, we have tested some control strategies by an experiment to verify the feasibility and performance of them. In final, based on the experiment data, we have figured that the overconstraint problem exists in some control strategies. Then, an analysis and controller design based on steady-state model of a Mono-Inverter Dual-PMSM (MIDPMSM) system is carried out.By studying the solution existence problem of the steady-state model, we give out the design guideline to the controller structure. Combining the open-loop stability and steady-state solution, the region of controllability and stability is obtained. Lagrange Multiplier is used develop theexpression of efficiency-optimal steady-staterelated to torque and speed. The experiment has shown that the efficiency of the new controller has improved significantly. Meanwhile, we have explored the influence of parameter variation in system stability and efficiency-optimization. The variation will influence the stability region. But its influence can be eliminated by using Master- Slave strategy. On the other hand, in the aspect of efficiency optimization, the simulation results have shown that parameter mismatch, especially the permeant flux, can cause high efficiency loss. In the last step, this controller is also adapted to a MIMPMSM system with more than two motors. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness.
