Parámetros de avaliação para projetos com melhor aproveitamento de uso
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em ArquiteturaNa atualidade a totalidade de projetos habitacionais parte do principio absurdo do mínimo espaço para reduzir os custos da obra em lugar do utilizar um conceito do espaço necessário. Quase nenhum destes projetos leva em consideração o tamanho do mobiliário disponível no mercado. Isto cria uma incompatibilidade entre a necessidade espacial do usuário e a área disponível nas habitações de interesse social. Os resultados de uma construção com estas falhas entre outros são: O aumento dos custos para o morador que deve ampliar sua casa para poder utilizar o espaço com algo de conforto. A perda de flexibilidade de uso já que o espaço não permite variações no arranjo espacial. As habitações que não têm o equipamento necessário para sua utilização devido à falta de espaço para colocar o mobiliário. O congestionamento visual devido à aglomeração de móveis dentro de um cômodo criando desorganização e desconforto. A perda da privacidade pela carência de um espaço próprio. Os dormitórios sem utilidade durante o dia, que ficam lotados a noite. Como uma possível solução se propôs o conceito de um painel mobiliário o qual deveria contribuir com a facilidade de construção, montagem e pré-fabricação de um imóvel como alternativas para diminuir custos. Ao mesmo tempo este painel conteria o mobiliário necessário para a utilização dos diferentes cômodos e assim aproveitar ao máximo o incipiente espaço em projetos de habitação de interesse social. A fundamentação teórica deste painel foi realizada por meio de pesquisas sobre propostas de habitação social e projetos arquitetônicos que atendessem a princípios de produtos industrializados, assim como o levantamento dos problemas mencionados anteriormente. A realização prática se desenvolveu por meio de uma tabela que funciona como checklist e avaliam o conforto e habitabilidade destes projetos por meio da aplicação dos conceitos de flexibilidade, adaptabilidade e privacidade. Foi realizado também um levantamento de produtos existentes no mercado internacional que apresentam soluções inovadoras para espaços reduzidos tanto pela variedade de funções que o mesmo permite quanto pelas propostas de aproveitamento de espaço no transcurso do dia. Para testar tanto a tabela quanto a aplicabilidade do mobiliário pesquisado se utilizou como estudo de caso o protótipo desenvolvido pela ARQ-UFSC em colaboração com a empresa Battistella
A pre-post test evaluation of the impact of the PELICAN MDT-TME Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members
No full textBackground: the PELICAN Multidisciplinary Team Total Mesorectal Excision (MDT-TME) Development Programme aimed to improve clinical outcomes for rectal cancer by educating colorectal cancer teams in precision surgery and related aspects of multidisciplinary care. The Programme reached almost all colorectal cancer teams across England. We took the opportunity to assess the impact of participating in this novel team-based Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members.Methods: the impact of participating in the programme on team members' self-reported job stress, job satisfaction and team performance was assessed in a pre-post course study. 333/568 (59%) team members, from the 75 multidisciplinary teams who attended the final year of the Programme, completed questionnaires pre-course, and 6-8 weeks post-course.Results: across all team members, the main sources of job satisfaction related to working in multidisciplinary teams; whilst feeling overloaded was the main source of job stress. Surgeons and clinical nurse specialists reported higher levels of job satisfaction than team members who do not provide direct patient care, whilst MDT coordinators reported the lowest levels of job satisfaction and job stress. Both job stress and satisfaction decreased after participating in the Programme for all team members. There was a small improvement in team performance.Conclusions: participation in the Development Programme had a mixed impact on the working lives of team members in the immediate aftermath of attending. The decrease in team members' job stress may reflect the improved knowledge and skills conferred by the Programme. The decrease in job satisfaction may be the consequence of being unable to apply these skills immediately in clinical practice because of a lack of required infrastructure and/or equipment. In addition, whilst the Programme raised awareness of the challenges of teamworking, a greater focus on tackling these issues may have improved working lives furthe

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
