O objetivo deste trabalho e apresentar o resultado de uma pesquisa terminologica/ terminograca bilngue Ingl^es/Portugu^es das unidades terminologicas dos Procedimentos Operacionais de Cabine, da area de Aviac~ao Comercial, e da subarea do Check-list. A partir da organizac~ao das unidades terminologicas em forma alfab etica construmos um dicionario terminologico dessa area. Para a concretizac~ao desse objetivo, selecionamos e escolhemos os contextos que descreveram o conteudo sem^antico-conceptual dos termos. Para a realizac~ao deste trabalho utilizamos os corpora documental e de par^ametro para a extrac~ao, selec~ao e denic~ao dos termos. A composic~ao do perl tematico da subarea do Check-list foi feita atraves da utilizac~ao de textos de carater denitorios e explicativos, porque apresentam esses uma densidade terminologica alta. A maioria das unidades terminologicas tratadas s~ao termos compostos que subsumem o princpio da transpar^encia, o princpio da adequac~ao e o princpio da produtividade. Todos os termos includos nesta pesquisa, para a constru c~ao do dicionario terminologico bilngue, apresentam a estrutura hierarquica do vocabularo do Check-list.
The objective of this study is to present the result of a bilingual English-Portuguese terminological/terminographical research, which describes the terminological units of the Cockpit Training Procedure related to the Business Aviation area, and to the Check-list subarea. A dictionary was done due to the organization of the terminological units in alphabetical sequence. To achieve this goal, we selected and chose the contexts that describe the semantic and conceptual content of all terms. To carry out this task, the documental and the parameter corpora were used to extract, select and to dene the terms. The setting of the thematic prole of the Checklist was done through the use of dening and explanatory texts as they present a great terminological density. The majority of terminological units used in this study were compound terms which subsume the principle of transpar^encia, the principle of appropriateness and, the principle of derivability. All the terms included in this research to build up the bilingual terminological dicitionary present a hierarchical structure of the Check-list vocabulary.

Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado em Segurança Alimentar
O conceito de food defense é relativamente recente e está relacionado com a proteção e defesa dos alimentos em qualquer ponto da cadeia alimentar contra atos maliciosos, como a contaminação intencional por agentes biológicos, químicos, físicos ou radiológicos. A adoção de procedimentos que previnam e controlem a contaminação intencional de alimentos é fundamental. Alguns referenciais de segurança alimentar preveem a implementação de requisitos de food defense, nomeadamente, o referencial Food Safety Systems Certification (FSSC) 22000, os referenciais do British Retail Consortium (BRC) e os referenciais do International Featured Standards (IFS), muito utilizados para a certificação de empresas do sector alimentar na atualidade. Existem várias ferramentas que ajudam os operadores a criar um plano de food defense eficaz, através da avaliação das vulnerabilidades existentes na unidade e estabelecimento das respetivas estratégias de mitigação. A auditoria tem um papel fundamental na avaliação dos sistemas de segurança alimentar, e logo de food defense, por permitir ao operador determinar de forma sistemática as principais fragilidades e orientar para a correção das mesmas e para a melhoria contínua dos seus sistemas. A verificação do grau de implementação de requisitos de food defense em duas unidades industriais do setor da carne através de auditoria de primeira parte veio a demonstrar que as principais vulnerabilidades estavam relacionadas com a inexistência de um plano de food defense, a não identificação das áreas críticas das unidades, a ineficácia dos sistemas de alerta e a falta de formação em food defense. Estas vulnerabilidades vieram a revelar-se também frequentes noutras unidades alimentares nacionais certificadas.
ABSTRACT - FOOD DEFENSE REQUIREMENTS’ IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT IN INDUSTRIAL FOOD UNITS - The food defense concept is relatively recent and relates to the protection of food in any point of the food chain against malicious acts, such as intentional contamination, by biological, chemical, physical or radiological agents. The adoption of procedures that prevent and control intentional contamination of food is essential. Some food safety systems provide for the implementation of food defense requirements, such as the Food Safety Systems Certification (FSSC) 22000, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and the International Food Standards (IFS). There are some programs designed to help food operators in creating an effective food defense plan, by assessing existing vulnerabilities in their unit and establishing mitigation strategies. Auditing plays a key role in the assessment of food safety systems, and hence of food defense, by enabling the operator to systematically identify vulnerabilities and establishing corrective actions, continuously improving their systems. The verification of the implementation of food defense requirements in two meat producing industries through a first-party audit showed that the main vulnerabilities were related to the lack of a food defense plan, the non-identification of the critical areas, the ineffectiveness of the warning systems and the lack of training in food defense. These vulnerabilities were also frequent in other certified national food units.

Atualmente a população frequenta com regularidade estabelecimentos de restauração, tais como “Cafés”, “Padarias/Pastelarias” e “Restaurantes”, encontrando-se estes muito próximos do consumidor final, que confia nas suas práticas relativamente à manipulação e confeção dos alimentos. Estes estabelecimentos devem garantir a higiene e a segurança dos produtos alimentares aos seus clientes, respondendo a obrigações legais e cumprindo com os requisitos do sistema HACCP. Nem sempre os responsáveis dos estabelecimentos têm os conhecimentos necessários para a execução dos requisitos anteriormente referidos, surgindo as auditorias internas de primeira parte, realizadas por uma empresa externa, como uma solução. Apoiando as empresas e formando os manipuladores em todos os requisitos necessários para uma eficaz implementação e manutenção do Sistema HACCP. A realização deste trabalho teve como principal objetivo avaliar as condições de higiene e Segurança Alimentar de 151 estabelecimentos de restauração pública da zona Oeste, com o auxílio de uma Check-List, aplicada in loco durante as auditorias. Os resultados obtidos da Check-List foram discutidos de acordo com o Regulamento (CE) nº 852 de 29 de Abril de 2004, e demonstraram um valor global de cumprimento entre os 54% a 63%. Verificando-se que as Não Conformidades encontravam-se maioritariamente relacionadas com os tópicos onde foram avaliados os “Funcionários” e o “Controlo Laboratorial”. No último caso observou-se um incumprimento por parte de 73% dos estabelecimentos. Os resultados obtidos contribuem para a perceção das não conformidades mais frequentes nos estabelecimentos “Cafés”, “Padarias/Pastelarias” e “Restaurantes”, permitindo uma atuação mais eficaz e focada nos parâmetros mais críticos, contribuindo desta forma para uma maior segurança do produto final servido ao consumidor

Abstract:

Concerning the importance and the necessity of fitting food services to actual lawmaking and knowing the difficulty found in it, the present paper aimed to systemize a Tool (Evaluation List, Plan of Action and Touching Collaborators) to support Good Practices. The present study was realized in twenty three, 23, downtown food services, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, through a proportional stratified sample of eight restaurants, eleven snack bars and four bakeries. A List of Evaluation of Good Practices for Food Services (LEGPFS) was made, specific for RDC 21604 ANVISA. This list was applied for a professional technician and for the company, in March and October, respectively. After that, a simple Plan of Action to facilitate the process of fitting was suggested. Samples of swabs to verify Staphylococcus coagulase positive and total count of mesophyll aerobics microorganisms and were collected from manipulators and from surfaces after hygiene, before and after the use of the tool. All collaborators were invited to participate of a touching concerning microbiological analysis and formulary applied to participants, evaluated by the results of LEGPFS. The results showed a significant difference (p<0,05) after the application of LEGPFS such for the technician as to the company, according to the fitting percentage. It was observed a significant improve (p<0,05) in following lawmaking after the use of the tool. The touching was considered efficient and there was a fitting to the process of hands and surfaces hygiene. In conclusion, the tool elaborated was valid to support food services in fitting actual lawmaking.
Tendo em vista a importância e a necessidade de adequação dos serviços de alimentação à legislação vigente e sabendo-se da dificuldade encontrada, objetivou-se, com este trabalho, sistematizar uma Ferramenta (Lista de Avaliação, Plano de Ação e Sensibilização de colaboradores) de apoio às Boas Práticas. O presente estudo foi realizado em 23 serviços de alimentação do Bairro Centro, da cidade de Santa Maria-RS, a partir de uma amostra estratificada proporcional de 8 restaurantes, 11 lanchonetes e 4 padarias/ confeitarias. Elaborou-se uma Lista de Avaliação de Boas Práticas para Serviços de Alimentação (LABPSA), específica para RDC 216/04 - ANVISA. Ela foi aplicada por profissional técnico e pela empresa, em março e outubro de 2006, respectivamente. Após a aplicação da LABPSA, sugeriu-se um modelo simples de Plano de Ação para facilitar o processo de adequação. Realizaram-se coletas de swabs nas mãos dos manipuladores e nas superfícies, após a higienização, para verificação de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e contagem total de microrganismos aeróbios mesófilos, antes e após o uso da Ferramenta. Todos os colaboradores foram convidados a participar de uma sensibilização, avaliada pelos resultados da LABPSA, das análises microbiológicas e de formulário aplicado aos participantes. Constatou-se diferença significativa (p< 0,05) após a aplicação da LABPSA tanto técnica quanto pela empresa, de acordo com o percentual de adequação. Houve também uma melhora significativa (p< 0,05) no atendimento à legislação após a utilização da ferramenta. A sensibilização foi considerada eficaz e houve adequação no processo de higienização das mãos e superfícies. Em suma, a ferramenta elaborada foi válida para apoiar os serviços de alimentação nas adequações exigidas pela legislação atual.

Patient safety is one of the dimensions of quality that has received increasing attention in recent years. The incident detection in patient safety aims to improve the quality of patient care. Incidents and adverse events (AEs) of patient safety should be reported spontaneously contributing for the apprenticeship and to create barriers so that they would not be repeated, but the fear of prosecution and punishment cause its underreporting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of patient safety incidents in the perinatal period with the use of an extended check list. This research used the inductive method, empirical approach with exploratory, descriptive, cross and as a strategy action research. Population sample was composed by admitted patients in the perinatal unit from June 25th to July 25th, 2015.We evaluated in maternal registry for proper completion of partogram, the patient chart and newborn data. We looked for: uterine rupture, changing the delivery type, returning to the operating room during hospitalization or after discharge, instrumental delivery, complications in the postpartum period, maternal death. In the newborn chart we collected information on neonatal trauma due to childbirth; research proper fetal vitality; Apgar score less than 7, and death of newborns weighing more than 2,500 g, and mother / newborn (NB). For both we looked for the detection of failure to follow the clinical protocol and blood components transfusion. We also evaluated whether these components of the check list were related to incidents or EAs in health care assistance. The total number of patients studied in the period was 249 patients, and we detected 97 AEs (38.9%). Of EAs, 27 (27.8%) were detected by traditional trigger points and 70 (72.8%) extended check list. The Apgar score less than 7 at the fifth minute was detected in 11 (11.3%) of all EAs and seven newborns (7.2% of events) had some type of trauma due to childbirth, 4 NB (4, 1%) were admitted to the ICU with less than 24 hours of birth. It was noted that two patients (2%) had to undergo to further surgery and one of them is still in outpatient treatment in the unit. Two patients (2%) had lacerations third / fourth degree and one patient (1%) uterine rupture diagnosed at the time of cesarean section. In the extended check list we detected failure in medicines in 20.6% of all AEs. In this study we observed a high incidence of clinical protocols violation (39.2%). Nine patients (9.3%) had complications in the postpartum period, two (2.1%) required liaison and one patient (1%) anesthetic complications.
A segurança do paciente é uma dimensão de qualidade que tem recebido atenção crescente nos últimos anos. A detecção de incidentes na área tem como objetivo melhorar a qualidade da assistência. Os incidentes e eventos adversos (EAs) deveriam ser relatados espontaneamente para que haja aprendizado e criação de barreiras para que não se repetam; porém, o receio de processos judiciais e punições leva a subnotificação. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar sua incidência no período perinatal com o uso de um check list ampliado. A pesquisa utilizou o método indutivo, abordagem empírica com caráter exploratório, descritivo e transversal, e como estratégia a pesquisa-ação. Foram averiguados os atendimentos prestados a pacientes internadas na unidade de medicina perinatal, no período de 25 de junho a 25 de julho de 2015, quanto ao preenchimento adequado do partograma, dados do prontuário materno e do recém-nascido (RN). Também foi averiguado se a mãe apresentou, durante a internação na unidade: rotura uterina, alteração da via de parto durante o procedimento, retorno à sala cirúrgica durante a internação ou pós-alta hospitalar, parto instrumental, intercorrências no período puerperal ou morte materna. Entre os RNs, verificou-se a ocorrência de trauma neonatal devido ao parto, Apgar menor que 7 e morte com peso superior a 2.500g, além de investigação da vitalidade fetal adequada. Para mãe e recem-nascido, verificou-se se foi seguido o protocolo clínico da instituição e transfusão de heomcomponentes. Também avaliamos se esses componentes do check list, quando presentes, estavam relacionados a incidentes ou EAs no atendimento. O total de pacientes estudadas no período foi de 249, sendo detectados 97 EAs (38,9%). Destes, 27 (27,8%) foram detectados pelos trigger points tradicionais e 70 (72,8%) pelo check list ampliado. O índice de Apgar menor que 7 no quinto minuto foi detectado em 11 (11,3%) do total de EAs e 7 RNs (7,2% dos eventos) apresentaram algum tipo de trauma devido ao parto. 4 RNs (4,1%) foram admitidos na UTI com menos de 24h de nascimento. Observou-se que duas pacientes (2%) tiveram que ser submetidas a nova intervenção cirúrgica e que uma delas ainda continua em tratamento ambulatorial na unidade. Duas (2%) apresentaram lacerações de terceiro/quarto grau e uma (1%), rotura uterina diagnosticada no momento da cesárea. No check list ampliado detectamos falhas de medicamentos como causa de 20,6% de todos os EAs. O número de inobservância de protocolos clínicos da instituição também se mostrou com elevada incidência (39,2%). Nove pacientes (9,3%) apresentaram intercorrências no puerpério, duas (2,1%) necessitaram de interconsulta e uma (1%) de intercorrência anestésica.

Recently have been noticed a few buildings made of steel structures in the city of Goiania, have shown process and progressive corrosion in your structural systems, and partly, for example, trusses, beams, columns etc. Such succession was visually perceived due to the aggressiveness of conditions relating primarily to the internal microenvironment of buildings, rain and animal feces. The methodology that was used is the data collection in the field of measuring thickness of the paint protection of apparent metal structures and photographic record of the problems of works, such as pathological manifestations of steel, paint, water accumulation sites etc. With the obtained data, the spreadsheet will be filled, depending on the model suggested by Mortari, 2008. In completing the Check list, it is easier to diagnose the structure, mainly because the diagnosis is last.
Recentemente têm-se percebido que alguns edifícios construídos em estruturas de aço na Cidade de Goiânia, vêm mostrando um processo progressivo de corrosão em seus sistemas estruturais, e em parte, como por exemplo: treliças, vigas, pilares etc. Tal sucessão foi percebida visualmente, devido às condições de agressividades ligadas primordialmente ao microambiente interno das edificações, chuva e fezes de animais. A Metodologia que foi empregada é o levantamento dos dados em campo medição da espessura da tinta de proteção das estruturas metálicas aparentes e com registro fotográfico dos problemas das obras, tais como, manifestações patológicas do aço, pintura, locais de acumulo de água etc. Com os dados obtidos, será preenchida a planilha, conforme o modelo sugerido por MORTARI, 2008. Com preenchimento do Check list, fica mais fácil fazer o diagnóstico da estrutura, principalmente por que o diagnóstico está no final.

Abstract:

Em meados de 2005 a Comissão de Meio Ambiente do SINDUSCON-RS, ciente das necessidades das empresas construtoras de buscarem uma adequação aos requisitos ambientais, criou um projeto para elaboração de uma lista de verificação nacional que pudesse ser usado como um medidor ou avaliador da sustentabilidade dos empreendimentos. Na época já se falava em Green Buildings, porém a busca era por algo semelhante, mas que, no entanto, fosse brasileiro, com itens realmente significativos do ponto de vista ambiental e aplicáveis à realidade nacional, além é claro, de ser acessível ao maior grupo de empresas possíveis. O SINDUSCON-RS buscou a parceria do Centro Nacional de Tecnologias Limpas - CNTL do SENAI-RS que tem como foco, da grande maioria dos seus trabalhos, as pequenas e médias empresas e desta forma firmou-se a parceria. Mas somente no início de 2007 é que houve liberação das verbas e o trabalho começou a ser desenvolvido, com apoio ainda da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. No primeiro momento foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica dos principais índices mundiais e dos trabalhos existentes nesta área. Foi criada uma tabela comparativa entre os índices mundiais mais reconhecidos e em seguida foram avaliados os macro-itens e a forma de pontuação de cada um. Dali iniciou-se a criação do Índice de Sustentabilidade. Os trabalhos transcorreram por aproximadamente 1,5 ano, ocasião em que o documento que deu origem ao software e o próprio software foram concluídos. Em seguida foi executado um projeto piloto com construtoras filiadas ao SINDUSCON-RS para a validação deste projeto. Foi através deste piloto que a pontuação, os pesos dados para cada item da lista de verificação, e as boas práticas colocadas na lista foram testadas e aprimoradas. Somente após este projeto piloto que a esta primeira versão do índice foi considerada concluída. Entendese que este projeto possa ser considerado como uma ferramenta para os pequenos e médios construtores, que são maioria neste país, executarem os seus serviços e empreendimentos usando a menor quantidade possível de recursos naturais e causando o menor impacto ambiental.
In 2005 The Environmental Committee of SINDUSCON-RS, knowing the construction companies needs of searching for the environmental requirements adequation, created a Project to make a national chek-list which could be used as an evaluation of the enterprises sustainability. At that time, the concept of Green Buildings was starting, but the search was for something similar, but brazilian, with practice with national significance and applicable to national reality and also accessible as many companies as possible. SINDUSCON-RS looked for a partner of the National Center of Clean Tecnologies- CNTL of SENAI-RS which focus, at the majority part of its jobs, small and medium size companies, and the partnership was created. But only at the beginning of 2007 the work started, advised by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. At the beginning a reference revision of the main worldwide index and the existing works in this area was done. It was created a comparative table of the worldwide more used index, and after that, the major items and the pontuation form of each one were evaluated. Then the creation of the sustainability index developed by this group started. This work last about a year and a half with periodical meetings, the document that gave rise to the software and the software itself was completed. Then ran a pilot project with construction companies affiliated with the SINDUSCON-RS for the validation of this project. It was through this pilot that score, the weights given to each practice on the checklist, and best practices placed on the list have been tested and improved. Only after this pilot project that the first version of this index was considered complete. It’s expected that this project will be used to help the small and medium companies to bild with the less amount of natural resources and causing the minimum environmental impact.

Este trabalho consiste na elaboração de uma proposta de check list para desenvolvimento de projetos eficientes de cozinha. Através de mapas mentais e da escala Likert, metodologias usadas, listou-se variáveis que definem funcionalidade no espaço cozinha para o usuário, o especialista e o autodidata três estratos envolvidos no estudo. As variáveis obtidas foram organizadas por freqüência de citação, sendo utilizadas no check list aquelas que foram consenso entre os três estratos do estudo. Esta preocupação se fez presente pelo fato da literatura referente a processos de elaboração de projetos sinalizarem para uma massificação de necessidades. Isto pode ser exemplificado quando observa-se avanços da tecnologia em todos os segmentos da vida diária, no que se refere ao atendimento das necessidades de conforto e bem-estar do homem. Vê-se, ao contrário, apreensão, incertezas, desconforto, irritabilidade, e falta de identidade, principalmente pelo fato de não serem consideradas as necessidades e valores individuais. A partir destas constatações não se pode continuar a discutir o processo de projeto da forma como é colocado, um processo de criação de necessidade, onde produtos e processos pulverizam-se, abalando a crença na estabilidade. O check list elaborado tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de projetos eficientes, priorizando a funcionalidade como um conceito construído pelos diversos participantes do processo, não permitindo que variáveis técnicas sejam as mais importantes, mas que se tenha a visão de utilidade, eficiência, facilidade de manuseio, da tecnologia, atividade e organização espacial, definindo e direcionando as diferentes decisões que envolvem o processo de elaboração de projetos. Através dos mapas mentais pôde-se concluir que não existe um triângulo de trabalho que explique o consenso dos três estratos, reforçando a hipótese de que cada ambiente terá um leiaute diferenciado em função de quem utiliza o espaço de trabalho. As variáveis obtidas pela escala Likert, direcionaram para a definição de projetos eficientes de cozinha por respeitar as necessidades dos três estratos, quando utilizou-se o consenso dos mesmos, que refletem seus desejos de conforto e identidade com o espaço que vivência no trabalho.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to investigate, through an experiment, if positive mood promotes creativity and flexible thinking. Participants were a total of 93 college students. The main hypothesis was that subjects induced with positive mood would perform better than subjects induced with negative mood, at a test reflecting creativity. To further explore the implications of priming (subliminal manipulated moods), a neutral control group was included. The cognitive test used in the study was Duncker´s The Candle Problem, a test which aims to get the subjects to apply flexible and creative thinking. The priming methods applied in the study was music and video clips. To measure the participant’s subjective mood a self-report scale, Mood Adjective Check List (MACL), was included as a successful manipulation control. The result showed a clear relationship between positive and negative priming, implying that subjects induced with positive mood performed significantly better than subjects induced with negative mood. There was no significant relationship between the groups induced with neutral and negative mood.
Syftet med studien var att genom ett experiment utforska om positiv sinnesstämning främjar kreativitet och flexibelt tänkande. Deltagarna i experimentet var totalt 93 studenter. Den huvudsakliga hypotesen var att deltagare inducerade till positivt känslotillstånd skulle prestera bättre än deltagare inducerade till negativt känslotillstånd, på ett kreativitetsreflekterande test. För att närmare undersöka påverkan av priming (subliminalt manipulerade känslotillstånd) inkluderades även en neutral kontrollgrupp. Testet som användes var Dunckers The Candle Problem. Syftet med testet var att få deltagarna att tillämpa flexibelt och kreativt tänkande. Priming-metoden som användes i experimentet bestod av musik och filmklipp. För att mäta deltagarnas subjektiva känslotillstånd tillämpades formuläret Mood Adjective Check List (MACL) som en framgångsrik manipulationskontroll. Ur resultatet utlästes en tydlig relation mellan positiv och negativ priming, att deltagare som fått positiv priming klarade testet signifikant bättre än deltagare med negativ priming. Mellan grupperna som inducerats med neutral och negativ sinnesstämning upptäcktes dock ingen signifikant relation.

Em unidades hospitalares, vários critérios são estabelecidos com a finalidade de recuperar a saúde do paciente, entre elas o consumo da alimentação hospitalar, que deve estar adequada do ponto de vista higiênico e sanitário. A legislação sanitária brasileira exige dos estabelecimentos produtores e/ou manipuladores de alimentos a implantação das Boas Práticas, que são procedimentos padronizados que visam prevenir o surgimento de toxinfecções alimentares. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma avaliação diagnóstica das condições de aplicação das Boas Práticas em cozinhas hospitalares da cidade de Pelotas-RS. Foram estudados quatro hospitais dentre os cinco que atendem a população da cidade e região. No primeiro artigo foram avaliadas as condições de Boas Práticas nas cozinhas hospitalares por meio da aplicação de um check list e interpretação dos dados comparando com as normas da Resolução de Diretoria Colegiada nº. 216 da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária e da Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Refeições Coletivas. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a maioria dos itens avaliados em ambas as classificações, apresentou percentuais de adequação satisfatórios, em todos os hospitais, exceto para os itens armazenamento e transporte nos hospitais A e B e manejo de resíduos no hospital A. No segundo artigo, foram realizadas análises microbiológicas, a fim de avaliar as condições higiênicas e sanitárias e comparar os resultados com os dados obtidos no check list. Os resultados das análises microbiológicas mostraram riscos em relação à qualidade da água, do ar e de mãos de manipuladores de alimentos. Por outro lado, os dados colhidos na aplicação do check list não apontaram os mesmos riscos encontrados nas análises microbiológicas.

Abstract:

Les travaux de cette thèse contribuent au développement de méthodes automatiques de vérification et de valida-tion de systèmes informatiques, à partir de modèles. Ils sont divisés en deux parties : vérification et générationde tests.Dans la partie vérification, pour le problème du model-checking régulier indécidable en général, deux nouvellestechniques d’approximation sont définies, dans le but de fournir des (semi-)algorithmes efficaces. Des sur-approximations de l’ensemble des états accessibles sont calculées, avec l’objectif d’assurer la terminaison del’exploration de l’espace d’états. Les états accessibles (ou des sur-approximations de cet ensemble d’états)sont représentés par des langages réguliers, ou automates d’états finis. La première technique consiste à sur-approximer l’ensemble des états atteignables en fusionnant des états des automates, en fonction de critèressyntaxiques simples, ou d’une combinaison de ces critères. La seconde technique d’approximation consisteaussi à fusionner des états des automates, mais à l’aide de transducteurs. De plus, pour cette seconde technique,nous développons une nouvelle approche pour raffiner les approximations, qui s’inspire du paradigme CEGAR(CounterExample-Guided Abstraction Refinement). Ces propositions ont été expérimentées sur des exemplesde protocoles d’exclusion mutuelle.Dans la partie génération de tests, une technique qui permet de combiner la génération aléatoire avec un critèrede couverture, à partir de modèles algébriques (des grammaires algébriques, des automates à pile) est définie.Générer les tests à partir de ces modèles algébriques (au lieu de le faire à partir de graphes) permet de réduirele degré d’abstraction du modèle et donc de générer moins de tests qui ne sont pas exécutables dans le systèmeréel. Ces propositions ont été expérimentées sur la grammaire de JSON (JAvaScript Object Notation), ainsi quesur des automates à pile correspondant à des appels de fonctions mutuellement récursives, à une requête XPath,et à l’algorithme Shunting-Yard
The thesis contributes to development of automatic methods for model-based verification and validation ofcomputer systems. It is divided into two parts: verification and test generation.In the verification part, for the problem of regular model checking undecidable in general, two new approxi-mation techniques are defined in order to provide efficient (semi-)algorithms. Over-approximations of the setof reachable states are computed, with the objective of ensuring the termination of the exploration of the statespace. Reachable states (or over-approximations of this set of states) are represented by regular languages or,equivalently, by finite-state automata. The first technique consists in over-approximating the set of reachablestates by merging states of automata, based on simple syntactic criteria, or on a combination of these criteria.The second approximation technique also merges automata states, by using transducers. For the second tech-nique, we develop a new approach to refine approximations, inspired by the CEGAR paradigm (for Counter-Example-Guided Abstraction Refinement). These proposals have been tested on examples of mutual exclusionprotocols.In the test generation part, a technique that combines the random generation with coverage criteria, fromcontext-free models (context-free grammars, pushdown automata) is defined. Generate tests from these mo-dels (instead of doing from graphs) reduces the model abstraction level, and therefore allows having moretests executable in the real system. These proposals have been tested on the JSON grammar (JavaScript ObjectNotation), as well as on pushdown automata of mutually recursive functions, of an XPath query, and of theShunting-Yard algorithm

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans une perspective pragmatique de la recherche : «Ingénierie Psychosociale». Elle évalue les bénéfices EADP, un outil d'aide à la description des personnes dans le cadre du témoignage oculaire. Il est observé que la verbalisation d'un visage nuit à sa reconnaissance. Ce phénomène d'éclipse verbale (Verbal Overshadowing) varie selon plusieurs modalités, et particulièrement en fonction du type de consigne d'entretien. Dans cette visée explicative du VO (i. E. Recodage de l'information en sortie de rappel) nous étudions l'impact de l'altération de la configuration du visage ou du corps sur les performances de reconnaissance. Nos études ont révélé l'important du type de consigne d'entretien utilisé. Elles ont également montré que l'altération de la configuration du visage ou du corps dégrade considérablement la reconnaissance de l'individu-cible. Cependant, contrairement à nos prédictions, nous n'avons pas observé d'effet d'interaction entre ces deux variables. Aussi, nous concluons que l'EADP est un facteur modérateur important du Verbal Overshadowing. Cependant, le bénéfice de l'EADP n'est pas assez grand pour annihiler l'effet de l'altération de la configuration du visage ou du corps. Aussi, des améliorations de cet outil sont nécessaires avant son application par les forces de police
This thesis is a pragmatic perspective of the research: "Psychosocial Engineering. It assesses the benefits of EADP, a tool for the description of persons in eyewitness domain. It is noted that the verbalization of a face deteriorates its recognition. This effect called "Verbal Overshadowing" varies according to several conditions, particularly with interview's instruction. In this explanatory referred VO (i. E. Recoding information output retrieval) we study the impact of alteration of the configuration of the face or body on recognition performance. Our studies have revealed the strong impact of interview's instruction effect. They also showed that the alteration of the configuration of the face or body deteriorates significantly the recognition of the target. However, contrary to our predictions, we observed no effect interaction between these two variables. Thus, we conclude that the EADP is an important moderating factor of Verbal Overshadowing. However, the benefit of EADP is not large enough to cancel the effect of altering the configuration of the face or body. Also, improvements of this tool are necessary before its application by the police

Abstract:

During the past two decades, panicle-feeding Hemiptera have become pests of sorghum in West and Central Africa, and particularly in Mali, where this is a staple food crop. Of the more than 100 sorghum insect pests reported in Africa, 42 species were found to be panicle-feeding pests. Prior to this study, no research had been done on the paniclefeeding Hemiptera in South Africa. The objectives of the study were to determine the abundance and diversity of panicle-feeding Hemiptera on sorghum. A check list was compiled and the temporal distribution of different Hemiptera species determined during the different panicle stages of development. In addition, the effect of insecticide application on Hemiptera numbers was evaluated and the correlation between grain mould severity and Hemiptera feeding damage was investigated. To determine the abundance and diversity of Hemiptera on sorghum panicles, surveys were conducted between November 2004 and June 2006 at 26 sites in four provinces of South Africa. Two methods of collection were used viz. the plastic bag and D-Vac methods. The total number of the adults and nymphs collected during this study was 23 798. Forty-three different herbivorous Hemiptera species were collected. The most abundant family was the Miridae (41 %), followed by the Lygaeidae (17 %). Eurystylus spp., Calidea dregii, Campylomma sp., Creontiades pallidus, Nysius natalensis and Nezara viridula were the most abundant species and also occurred widely in the sorghum production area. Infestation levels of these species were low compared to that in other parts of Africa and it cannot be concluded that they have pest status in South Africa. There was no clear distinction between the stages during which panicles were infested by different species. The general tendency was that nearly all species were present from the flowering stage onwards and that numbers declined when grain hardened. In general, Campylomma sp. and C. pallidus numbers peaked during the flowering stage and Eurystylus spp. and N. natalensis during the milk stage. Hemiptera feeding damage resulted in an increase in incidence of seeds with discoloured germ, therefore contributing significantly to reduction in grain quality.

Abstract:

The attrition rate of enlistees in basic combat training is of particular concern to all Branches of the military due to the high cost associated with recruiting and training a new enlistee. Each year the military loses hundreds of millions of dollars invested in enlistees whom never make it to their first duty station. Investigators have extensively examined the impact of physiological injuries on the rate of enlistee discharge from basic combat training. Also, investigators have reported that alcoholism, adjustment disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders were among the leading hospital discharge diagnostic categories for enlistees during the 1990s; especially, within the first six-months of service. Additionally, investigators have reported that the transition process from civilian to military in basic combat training tends to be very stressful and anxiety provoking for enlistees. However, little data has been gathered to assess the relationship of enlisteesâ physiological and perceived stress levels and their attrition rate. A study was conducted of 155 soldiers during their nine-week basic combat training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Salivary amylase testing was used as an objective measure of physiological stress, and the Multiple Affects Adjective CheckList Revised (MACCL-R) was use as a subjective measure of perceived stress. It was hypothesized that enlistees with higher levels of stress would also have a higher level of depression and hostility resulting in performance degradation. The results of linear regression analyses and multivariate pairwise correlation showed a statistically significant positive relationship among perceived stress, hostility and depression levels. Additionally, the analyses showed that for the soldiers participating in this study, coping style moderated their perceived stress experience. Those participants who were able to modify their coping mechanism to meet the physically and mentally demanding challenges of basic combat training tended to be more confident in successfully completing training. Moreover, they were less likely to receive disciplinary action. The military training command has requested follow up studies to expand upon this current study to encompass the various training cycles over a one-year time period.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi gerar uma metodologia para avaliar o processo de pulverização com a utilização das ferramentas da qualidade. Para tanto foram listados os fatores primários, secundários e terciários e com auxílio da ferramenta ¿check list¿ foram elaboradas as listas de checagem. Foram avaliados os fatores mão-de-obra, máquina, material, meio e método de 32 processos de pulverização antes da aplicação de defensivos agrícolas. Nesta avaliação cada fator recebeu uma pontuação onde a somatória foi de 750 pontos. Desta amostra foi avaliado a aplicação de herbicida de dez processos participantes do Programa Agrária de Qualidade Total Rural ¿ PAQTRural. Os itens de controle avaliados nos dez processos foram a qualidade de distribuição das gotas, o controle das plantas daninhas, falhas entre os rastros de pulverização e fitotoxidez causado às culturas. A qualidade de distribuição das gotas foi avaliada no momento da execução da aplicação do defensivo onde se posicionou vinte papéis hidrossensíveis na superfície do solo. Para avaliar a qualidade distribuição de gotas foi considerado o potencial risco de deriva (PRD), a densidade de gotas (N cm-2), o diâmetro mediano volumétrico (DMV) e a amplitude relativa (AR). Considerou-se também um total de 750 pontos para os itens de controle se todos estivessem em conformidade. Os resultados mostram que a pontuação média dos fatores mão-de-obra, máquina, material, meio e método foram 78, 211, 49, 20 e 94 pontos, respectivamente. Considerando a somatória dos pontos dos fatores para os 32 processos, o valor mínimo encontrado foi de 230 e o máximo de 620 pontos. Para os processos participantes do programa de qualidade pode-se notar uma menor amplitude onde a variação foi entre 410 e 620 pontos. A somatória dos fatores avaliados dos dez processos com os pontos obtidos nos itens de controle variou de 812 até 1263 pontos de um total de 1500. Com a metodologia pode-se identificar quais as causas comuns dos processos que podem afetar o seu resultado

Abstract:

Este estudo teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta para avaliar estruturas físicas, leiaute e materiais de construção de cozinhas industriais. Na primeira etapa do trabalho, diversas legislações sanitárias e documentos técnicos foram avaliados, a fim de identificar itens pertinentes à construção da ferramenta. Com base nisso, foram elaboradas 196 perguntas, divididas em 24 itens, as quais compuseram a ferramenta de avaliação de estruturas (check-list). O check-list foi encaminhado para especialistas da área de segurança de alimentos, para que estes verificassem a adequação das perguntas e conferissem pesos para cada uma delas, conforme a possibilidade na contaminação e o impacto na segurança dos alimentos. O peso 1 (um) foi atribuído aos itens da estrutura física das cozinhas, que poderiam causar impacto na segurança de alimentos, porém que dificilmente resultariam em contaminação dos alimentos ou causariam surtos alimentares, como, por exemplo, as áreas externas, portas externas e fechamento automático de portas de sanitários. O peso 2 (dois) foi atribuído às perguntas sobre a estrutura física da cozinha que poderiam causar contaminação indireta nos alimentos, exemplos: portas internas ajustadas aos pisos e batentes, caixas de gordura e de esgoto compatíveis ao volume de resíduos, entre outros. O peso 4 (quatro) foi atribuído às questões sobre a estrutura física das cozinhas que poderiam causar contaminação direta aos alimentos, como, por exemplo, estrutura dos telhados e tetos, áreas de produção com fluxo linear, entre outras Após a revisão do check-list, foram retiradas as perguntas que não foram consideradas pertinentes ao setor de alimentação e então foi calculado um peso médio para cada pergunta, tendo como base os pesos atribuídos por cada avaliador. A versão final do check-list resultou em 23 itens, compostos por 126 perguntas. Na segunda etapa do trabalho, foi realizada a utilização prática do check-list com o objetivo de testar a aplicação da ferramenta de avaliação e identificar os problemas mais frequentes na construção civil de cozinhas industriais. Para tanto, as cozinhas industriais existentes na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS (RMPA) foram consideradas e identificadas como o universo da pesquisa, possibilitando a visita a um número significativo de cozinhas industriais. O número de cozinhas identificado na RMPA foi de 248 unidades, das quais 52 foram visitadas. Para avaliar cada unidade visitada com relação à adequação sanitária de suas instalações, foi elaborado o Índice Sanitário de Edificações (ISE). O ISE é uma média harmônica ponderada dos itens aplicáveis, a qual leva em consideração os pesos conferidos a cada pergunta e se o item foi conforme ou não. As respostas do check-list foram analisadas no Microsoft Excel 2010 e a análise estatística foi realizada no programa IBM® SPSS® STATISTICS versão 18.0, adotando o nível de significância de 5% As principais não conformidades observadas foram infiltrações, goteiras, tubulações sem capacidade para vazão adequada, pias e sifões entupidos, pouca quantidade de ralos, caimento dos pisos, caixa de gordura, pouca luminosidade, ventilação e conforto térmico. Do total de unidades avaliadas, 1 (2%) apresentou índice de adequação excelente, 14 (27%) índice de adequação bom, 32 (61%) índice de adequação médio e 5 (10%) índice de adequação ruim. Além do índice de adequação ao check-list, foi calculado um índice de adequação aos itens requeridos por legislação. O volume de empresas que apresentaram índices entre os níveis de adequação excelente e bom aumentou quando comparado ao índice de adequação ao chek-list, passando para 4 (8%) com índice excelente, 27 (51%) com índice bom, 20 (39%) com índice médio e 1 (2%) com índice ruim. Os resultados indicam que as cozinhas industriais apresentaram inadequações em suas instalações, já que em sua maioria apresentaram índices medianos ou inferiores de adequação aos itens da legislação e ao ISE. Cozinhas com estas falhas nas instalações podem ter prejudicadas suas condições higiênico- sanitárias do processo, trazendo riscos potenciais para a produção de alimentos. Com a identificação dos problemas nas edificações e leiutes, pôde- se indicar soluções para contribuir na gestão de segurança dos alimentos em serviços de alimentação, prevenindo a contaminação de alimentos.
This study aimed to develop a tool to evaluate physical structures, layout and materials of industrial kitchens. In the first stage of the work, several sanitary legislations and technical documents were evaluated in order to identify items pertinent to the construction of the tool. Based on this, check-list tool were elaborated containing196 questions, divided into 24 items. The checklist was assessed to food safety experts to verify the appropriateness of the questions and to check weights for each one, depending on the possibility of contamination and impact on food safety. Weight 1 (one) was attributed to the items in the kitchen's physical structure, which could impact on food safety, but would hardly result in contamination of food or food outbreaks, such as external areas, external doors and automatic door closing of toilets. Weight 2 (two) was attributed to the questions about the physical structure of the kitchen that could cause indirect contamination in the food, some examples: internal doors adjusted to the floors and stops, fat and sewage boxes compatible with the volume of waste. Weight 4 (four) was attributed to questions about the physical structure of the kitchen that could cause direct contamination of food, such as the structure of roofs and ceilings, production areas with linear flow. After reviewing the checklist, the questions that were not considered pertinent to the food sector were removed, and then an average weight was calculated for each question, based on the weights assigned by each evaluator The final version of the checklist resulted in 23 items consisting of 126 questions. In the second stage of the work, the practical check-list was used, with the objective of testing the application of the evaluation tool and identifying the most frequent problems in the civil construction of industrial kitchens. To this end, the industrial kitchens in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre / RS (RMPA) were considered and identified as the research universe, allowing the visit of a significant number of industrial kitchens. The number of kitchens identified in the RMPA was 248 units, of which 52 were visited. To evaluate each unit visited in relation to the sanitary adequacy of its facilities, the Sanitary Building Index (ISE) was elaborated. The ISE is a weighted harmonic mean of the applicable items, which takes into account the weights given to each question and whether or not the item was compliant. The checklist responses were analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2010 and statistical analyzes were performed using the IBM® SPSS® STATISTICS version 18.0 program, adopting the 5% significance level. The main nonconformities observed were infiltrations, gutters, pipes with no adequate flow capacity, clogged sinks and siphons, few drains, floor trim, grease box, low luminosity, ventilation and thermal comfort Of the total number of units evaluated, 1 (2%) presented an excellent suitability index, 14 (27%) were adequately matched, 32 (61%) were adequately matched, and 5 were considered adequately matched. In addition to the index of adequacy to the checklist, an index of adequacy to the items required by legislation was calculated. The volume of companies that presented excellent and good levels of adequacy increased when compared to the index of adequacy to the former chek-list, passing to 4 (8%) with excellent index, 27 (51%) with good index, 20 (39 %) with average index and 1 (2%) with poor index. The results indicate that the industrial kitchens presented inadequacies in their facilities, since in their majority they presented medium or inferior indexes of adequacy to the items of the legislation and the ISE. Kitchens with these facility failures may have impaired their hygienic-sanitary conditions of the process, bringing potential risks to food production. With the identification of problems in buildings and law, it was possible to indicate solutions to contribute to the management of food safety in food services, preventing the contamination of food.

Abstract:

Introdução: pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAV ) é uma infecção relacionada com os cuidados de saúde e a segunda principal causa de infecções hospitalares ligadas a taxas de morbidade e mortalidade. Portanto, a implementação de protocolos de diretrizes de cuidados tornou-se necessária para pacientes criticamente doentes em UTI, a fim de proporcionar um tratamento adequado.Objetivo: avaliar o impacto de um pacote chamado FAST HUG em PAV; analisar os fatores de risco para ocorrencia de PAV em pacientes adultos de uma UTI de um hospital privado; analisar as caracteristicas clinicas dos pacientes que foram ou não submetidos ao FAST HUG; analisar a etiologia dos microrganismos relacionados a PAV; determinar os custos decorrentes da internação em pacientes com a pneumonia e em paciente que receberam o FAST HUG.Métodos: O estudo foi realizado em uma UTI de 8 leitos, de um hospital privado . Foi dividido em duas fases: antes de implementar FAST HUG , de agosto de 2011 a agosto de 2012 e após a implementação do ABRAÇO RÁPIDO, de setembro de 2012 a dezembro de 2013. Uma ficha individual para cada paciente, no estudo, foi preenchida, usando informações tomadas por via eletrônica dos prontuários hospitalares. Os seguintes dados, para cada paciente, foram obtidos : idade, sexo, motivo da internação, o uso de três ou mais tipos de antibióticos, duração da estadia, tempo de intubação e progresso. Resultados: Após a aplicação de FAST HUG , houve uma redução observável na ocorrência de PAV ( p < 0,01 ) , bem como uma redução nas taxas de mortalidade ( p < 0,01 ) . Ela também mostra que a intervenção realizada no estudo resultou numa redução significativa dos custos hospitalares de UTI ( p < 0,05 ). Conclusão: A implementação do FAST HUG reduziu os casos de PAV . Assim, a redução de custos , taxas de mortalidade e tempo de permanência no hospital,apontam a excelência das medidas aqui descritas e resultam em melhoria para a qualidade geral do atendimento.
Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a health care related infection and the second leading cause of nosocomial infections linked to morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, the implementation of care guideline protocols has become necessary for critically ill patients in ICUs in order to provide adequate treatment. Objective: To assess the impact of a package called FAST HUG in PAV ; analyze the risk factors for occurrence of VAP in adult patients at an ICU of a private hospital ; analyze the clinical characteristics of patients who were or were not submitted to the FAST HUG ; analyze the etiology of microorganisms related to EPI ; determine the cost of hospitalization in patients with pneumonia and in patients who received the FAST HUG.Methods: The study was performed in a private hospital that has an 8-bed ICU. It was divided into two phases: before implementing FAST HUG, from August 2011 to August 2012 and after the implementation of FAST HUG, from September 2012 to December 2013. An individual form for each patient in the study was filled out by using information taken electronically from the hospital medical records. The following data for each patient was obtained: age, gender, reason for hospitalization, the use of three or more types of antibiotics, length of stay, intubation time and progress. Findings: After the implementation of FAST HUG, there was an observable decrease in the occurrence of VAP (p <0.01), as well as a reduction in mortality rates (p <0.01). It also shows that the intervention performed in the study resulted in a significant reduction in ICU hospital costs (p <0.05).Conclusion: The implementation of FAST HUG reduced the cases of VAP. Thus, decreasing costs, reducing mortality rates and length of stay, which therefore resulted in an improvement to the overall quality of care.

Abstract:

Les erreurs récurrentes et systématiques dans les processus de décision stratégique sont fréquentes ; et les théories actuelles des organisations sont insuffisantes pour les expliquer. La « Behavioral Strategy » suggère de lier ces erreurs à la psychologie des décideurs, et notamment à leurs biais cognitifs. Toutefois, cette vision suppose de connecter le niveau d’analyse de l’individu et celui de l’organisation. Nous proposons pour ce faire un niveau « méso », la routine de choix stratégique (RCS), où interagissent la psychologie des décideurs et les décisions stratégiques. Après avoir distingué trois types de RCS, nous formulons des hypothèses d’intervention sur celles-ci visant à prévenir les erreurs stratégiques. Nous illustrons ces hypothèses par six cas pratiques, en testons certaines par une étude quantitative, et analysons les préférences qui conduisent les dirigeants à les adopter ou non. Nous concluons en discutant les implications théoriques et pratiques de notre démarche
Many types of strategic decisions result in recurring, systematic errors. Extant theories of organizations are insufficient to account for this phenomenon. Behavioral Strategy suggests that an explanation may be found in the psychology of decision makers, and particularly in their cognitive biases. This, however, calls for a link between individual-level cognition and affects, and organization-level choices. We propose “Strategic Choice Routines” as a middle level of analysis to bridge this gap, and identify three broad types of Strategic Choice Routines.This leads us to formulate hypotheses on how Strategic Choice Routines can be modified to minimize strategic errors. We illustrate these hypotheses through case studies; test some of them quantitatively; and analyze preferences that drive their adoption by executives. Finally, we discuss theoretical and managerial implications

Abstract:

Cette étude est une contribution à la connaissance de la biodiversité, la distribution géographique et la conservation des Rubioideae (Rubiaceae) d’Afrique centrale (Burundi,R.D.Congo et Rwanda). Le travail est basé sur l’analyse critique des riches collections conservées dans les grands herbaria de Belgique et du Burundi (plus de 10.000 échantillons). Une check-list critique des Rubioideae d’Afrique centrale a été établie; 291 taxons ont été inventoriés et une carte de distribution géographique a été tracée pour chacun, après géoréférencement de toutes

les récoltes. Des taxons nouveaux pour le territoire étudié ont été découverts, révélant le caractère incomplet de la ‘World check-list of Rubiaceae’. Des taxons nouveaux pour la science ont été mis en évidence. Une espèce nouvelle (avec deux variétés) a été décrite. Les analyses de distribution ont utilisé deux niveaux de résolution: le système d’information géographique (SIG) pour la production des cartes de la distribution des espèces et le système de maillage pour calculer la densité et l’effort d’échantillonnage. La richesse floristique apparente est fortement biaisée par l’intensité d’échantillonnage. Après correction de ces biais, la diversité reste inégalement répartie.

Des régions de plus haute diversité peuvent être expliquées à la fois par des processus déterministes (régions à haute diversité ’habitats), et, probablement aussi par des contingences historiques (refuges). Elles correspondent à des zones de spéciation active ou de moindre extinction. De plus, cette diversité varie selon les phytochories considérées.

La distribution des taxons a été utilisée pour tenter de redéfinir sur une base objective des subdivisions phytogéographiques du territoire étudié. L’approche basée sur la similarité floristique et la distribution potentielle a démontré le rôle déterminant des taxons indicateurs et des variables environnementales

dans l’établissement d’un système cohérent de phytochories pour l’Afrique centrale. Un nouveau

système de trois territoires floristiques défini sur base des Rubioideae est comparativement proche de celui de White (1979, 1983) mais ne comprend pas des zones de transition.

Enfin, la caractérisation de l’état de conservation des Rubioideae de la zone d’étude, sur base de la méthodologie de l’UICN, a porté sur cinquante-six taxons (sub-)endémiques d’Afrique centrale. L’évaluation paramétrique a été largement utilisée. Elle est basée sur la détermination de la zone d’occupation (AOO) et de la zone d’occurrence (EOO). La proportion des Rubioideae menacés et coïncide avec celles des autres groupes déjà évalués. Cette analyse a démontré qu’il existe une corrélation entre les taxons menacés et les zones de forte concentration humaine.

This study is a contribution to the knowledge of biodiversity, geographic distribution and conservation of Rubioideae (Rubiaceae), a group of flowering plants in Central Africa (D.R.Congo, Rwanda, Burundi). The work is based on the critical evaluation of the rich herbarium collections conserved in Belgium and Burundi (> 10,000 specimens). A critical check-list of Rubioideae in Central Africa has been produced, comprising 291 taxa. A distribution map has been obtained for each of them. A number of taxa are new to the area, highlighting the gaps of knowledge in the ‘World check-list of Rubiaceae’. Species new to science have been detected, one of which has been formally described (with two varieties) in this study. The analysis of distribution patterns has been performed at two levels of resolution. Grid-maps have been used to analyse patterns of species diversity. Floristic richness appears strongly correlated with

sampling effort. After correction for sampling effort, species diversity remains heterogeneous.

Regions of higher diversity correspond either to areas of more active speciation, in relation to a high diversity of habitats, or to forest refuges where extinction rates have been lower. Additionally, this diversity varies between the different phytochoria recognized. The distribution of species has been used in an attempt to redefine phytochoria based only on floristic criteria. Floristic similarity, and potential distribution (based on climatic parameters), has shown that phytochoria can be effectively defined and characterized by the method of indicator taxa. Three major

phytochoria show a reasonably match with phytochoria previously proposed by White (1979, 1983), but White’s transition zones are not highlighted. Finally, distribution data have been used to critically evaluate the conservation status of 56 taxa, using the methodology and criteria of IUCN. The area of occupancy (AOO) and extent of occurrence (EOO) were calculated and used as main criteria to evaluate the species. A relatively high proportion of taxa appear to be threatened, especially in relation to urbanization and deforestation in the most

highly populated parts of the study area.

Abstract:

Consumers of digital contents are empowered with numerous technologies allowing them to produce perfect copies of these contents and distribute them around the world with little or no cost. To prevent illegal copying and distribution, a technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM) is developed. With this technology, consumers are allowed to access digital contents only if they have purchased the corresponding licenses from license issuers. The problem, however, is that those consumers are not allowed to resell their own licenses- a restriction that goes against the first-sale doctrine. Enabling a consumer to buy a digital license directly from another consumer and allowing the two consumers to fairly exchange the license for a payment are still an open issue in DRM research area. This thesis investigates existing security solutions for achieving digital license reselling and analyses their strengths and weaknesses. The thesis then proposes a novel Reselling Deal Signing (RDS) protocol to achieve fairness in a license reselling. The idea of the protocol is to integrate the features of the concurrent signature scheme with functionalities of a License Issuer (LI). The security properties of this protocol is informally analysed and then formally verified using ATL logic and the model checker MOCHA. To assess its performance, a prototype of the RDS protocol has been developed and a comparison with related protocols has been conducted. The thesis also introduces two novel digital tokens a Reselling Permission (RP) token and a Multiple Reselling Permission (MRP) token. The RP and MRP tokens are used to show whether a given license is single and multiple resalable, respectively. Moreover, the thesis proposes two novel methods supporting fair and secure digital license reselling. The first method is the Reselling Deal (RD) method which allows a license to be resold once. This method makes use of the existing distribution infrastructure, RP, License Revocation List (LRL), and three protocols: RDS protocol RD Activation (RDA) protocol, and RD Completion (RDC) protocol. The second method is a Multiple License Reselling (MLR) method enabling one license to be resold N times by N consumers. The thesis presents two variants of the MLR method: RRP-MR (Repeated RP-based Multi-Reselling) and HC-MR (Hash Chain-based Multi-Reselling). The RRP-MR method is designed such that a buyer can choose to either continue or stop a multi-reselling of a license. Like the RD method, the RRP-MR method makes use of RP, LI, LRL, and the RDS, RDA, and RDC protocols to achieve fair and secure reselling. The HC-MR method allows multiple resellings while keeping the overhead on LI at a minimum level and enable a buyer to check how many times a license can be further resold. To do so, the HC-MR utilises MRP and the hash chain cryptographic primitive along with LRL, LI and the RDS, RDA and RDC protocols. The analysis and the evaluation of these three methods have been conducted. While supporting the license reselling, the two methods are designed to prevent a reseller from (1) continuing using a resold license, (2) reselling a non-resalable license, and (3) reselling one license a unauthorised number of times. In addition, they enable content owners of resold contents to trace a buyer who has violated any of the usage rights of a license bought from a reseller. Moreover, the methods enable a buyer to verify whether a license he is about to buy is legitimate for re-sale. Furthermore, the two methods support market power where a reseller can maximise his profit and a buyer can minimise his cost in a reselling process. In comparison with related works, our solution does not make use of any trusted hardware device, thus it is more cost-effective, while satisfying the interests of both resellers and buyers, and protecting the content owner's rights.

Abstract:

La demande d'applications pour les plateformes mobiles a explosé ces dernières années. Chaque compagnie souhaite maintenant offrir pour ces nouveaux appareils les mêmes services que ceux offerts traditionnellement sur internet. Cependant, ces entreprises n'ont bien souvent que peu ou pas de connaissances concernant le développement et le déploiement de tels services. Généralement, la solution choisie consiste à externaliser ce travail en le sous-traitant à une autre compagnie. Dans ce contexte, il est souvent compliqué de s'assurer d'une part que le sous-traitant respecte le cahier des charges et d'autre part que le travail fourni est conforme aux recommandations émises par les fabricants des plateformes mobiles. Afin de pallier au second problème, nous avons créé un système de listes de vérification interactives pour plateformes mobiles. Ce système permet d'évaluer le niveau de conformité des différents composants de l'interface d'une application développée pour une plateforme mobile avec les recommandations du fabricant de cette plateforme. La solution retenue permet de se concentrer sur certains éléments particuliers de l'interface et pallie ainsi aux limites des listes de vérification classiques qui sont souvent trop longues et peu pratiques. La solution retenue offre de plus la possibilité de comparer facilement les caractéristiques des plateformes mobiles entre elles. Pour réaliser ce système, nous avons consulté de nombreux documents portant sur l'univers des plateformes mobiles afin de mieux appréhender leurs spécificités. Suite à l'étude de différentes plateformes, deux d’entre elles, soit iOS et BlackBerry, ont été retenues (il faut noter que la compagnie où s'est effectuée la recherche disposait déjà d'applications pour ces plateformes). Nous avons ensuite analysé plus finement la documentation technique fournie par chacun des fabricants afin d'en extraire les points importants. Afin que les données soient comparables, nous avons créé une nomenclature commune regroupant les composants de l'interface graphique en grandes familles (ex. : barres, saisie d'information, …) en tenant compte également du type d'interaction avec l'appareil (ex. : écran tactile). Nous avons ensuite conçu une solution permettant d'évaluer le niveau de conformité d'une application. L'idée retenue se base sur des listes de vérification permettant de systématiser le processus d'évaluation. Pour pallier aux limites de ces listes, souvent trop longues, nous permettons à l'utilisateur, via un ensemble de filtres, de se concentrer sur un sous-ensemble de composants de l’interface qu'il souhaite évaluer. L'implémentation de cette solution a été réalisée en totalité grâce à des technologies libres et de standard ouvert. De cette façon, nous nous sommes assurés de la portabilité de la solution développée et de l’absence de coûts supplémentaires liés à l'achat de licences. Le système utilise les standards web et repose sur une architecture basée sur le système d'exploitation GNU/Linux, le serveur web Apache, la base de données MySQL et le langage de scripts PHP. Ces logiciels ont déjà fait leurs preuves aussi bien pour les entreprises que pour les particuliers. De plus, la communauté très active qui s'est constituée autour de ces logiciels assure un bon support et une grande stabilité. Après avoir fait le choix de l’environnement de développement, la phase d'implémentation s'est ensuite déroulée en plusieurs étapes. Tout d'abord, l'information a été structurée selon la nomenclature mentionnée plus haut afin de créer le schéma de la base de données. Ensuite, toutes les pages ont été codées avec le langage à balises HTML et les scripts PHP pour le côté serveur et avec JavaScript pour le côté client. Enfin, l'information peut être affichée grâce aux feuilles de style en cascade (CSS), une technologie web permettant de séparer le fond de la forme en matière de mise en page. Nous avons choisi un modèle de développement itératif qui a impliqué les principaux utilisateurs dès les premières étapes de la conception du système. Cette implication s’est poursuivie jusqu’à la fin du projet afin de s'assurer que les fonctionnalités mises en place répondaient aux attentes. L’architecture modulaire qui a été retenue permet également d’adapter facilement le système aux besoins futurs. Afin de mieux comprendre comment on utilise le système, on passe en revue les différentes étapes nécessaires à la réalisation d'une évaluation. Enfin, on a réalisé une étude avec quatre utilisateurs pour évaluer l'utilisabilité du système et recueillir leur niveau de satisfaction.
The need for mobile platforms has increased in the last decade. Companies offering traditional internet services now want to move their applications on these new devices. But, most of the time, these companies do not really have the knowledge to create such applications and often ask a third party company to do the job for them. In this context, it is difficult to evaluate if the solution developed follows the recommendations of the device maker. A system based on interactive check lists has thus been created for this purpose. This system enables the evaluation of the conformity level of an application with the recommendations of the device maker, thanks to numerous filters that let the user focus on specific parts of the graphic interface. The idea behind the project was first to address some problematic issues with classical check lists and to enable the comparison of several mobile platforms with regard to specific interface components. To create this system, a lot of information about mobile platforms has first been collected. After reviewing many mobile platforms, it was decided to focus on iOS and BlackBerry, since the company where the research was performed had already applications running on them. For each platform, the major recommandations to be satisfied were identified. Also, to be sure that the extracted recommendations could be compared, a common nomenclature has been created, where the recommandations are grouped by interface components (ex: bars, data input,…) and by the type of interaction (ex: touch screen). After these preliminary steps, a solution for evaluating the level of compliance was created. We favored a check list approach because it offers a systematic evaluation process. To avoid lists of excessive length, filters were introduced in the system to allow the user to focus on particular aspects of the interface. The implementation was totally realized with open source technologies and open standards. This choice was motivated by the portability of the developed system and by the absence of licence fees. The system relies on web standards and runs on an architecture made of the CNU/Linux operating system, Apache web server, MySQL database and the script language PHP. This software has already proven its reliability for enterprises and for home users. Furthermore, the community evolving around this software offers a good support and ensures a high level of stability. After setting up the development environment, the implementation phase was engaged and took place over a number of phases. The first phase was the creation of the database structure, using the aforementioned nomenclature. The next phase was dedicated to the coding of the different web pages, thanks to the tag language HTML and the PHP scripts on the server side and JavaScript on the client side. Finally, the web page setting was developed using the cascading style sheet (CSS), a web technology that segregates the substance from the style of the web content. We chose an iterative development model where the end users were involved from the early stages of the project. This approach provides a guarantee that the user requirements are fulfilled and that any new developments will be in accordance with the expectations. Furthermore, the system is such that it can be easily modified to tackle future needs. To be able to understand how we use the systeme, we are reviewing the different steps needed to realise an evaluation. Finally, we have made a study with four users to evaluate the usability of the system and to gather their satisfaction level.

In this thesis, we present several novel stochastic decoding algorithms for linear high-density parity-check (HDPC) codes. Our approach can be regarded as a randomized sphere decoding with moving center that selects candidate codewords around a center vector according to a sphere-symmetric probability distribution. The center (median) vector of the distribution is updated according to a Monte Carlo based approach called the Cross-Entropy (CE) method. The CE method produces, in every iteration, a set of random samples which can be transformed into valid codewords. Based on the Euclidean distances between the received word and the random codewords, we select the best E candidates to form the elite set which is then used to modify the probability distribution that govern the generations of the random samples in the ensuing iteration. To ensure that the newly generated samples are concentrated more and more on a small neighborhood of the correct codeword and either the median vector will move to or the underlying distribution will eventually degenerate to a singularity at the transmitted codeword, the parameters of the updated distribution should be such that the new distribution is closest to the optimal distribution in the sense of the Kullback-Leibler distance (i.e CE). We propose three classes of stochastic decoding algorithms in this thesis. The first two are specifically designed for decoding (n,k) Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. For the first decoder, the random samples represent a set of random error locator vectors, each indicates n-k possible erasure positions within the received word. We associate each error locator vector with a candidate odeword by erasures-only (EO) decoding the received word, assuming that erasure locations are those indicated by the error locator vector. The n-dimensional real random vectors in the second algorithm represent reliability vectors whose least reliable n-k coordinates are assumed to be erasures. For each sample, we make component-wise hard-decisions on the most reliable k coordinates and EO-decoding the resulting binary vector. The third algorithm uses a sequential bit flipping procedure to convert each random sample into a legitimate codewords. The first two algorithms are valid for MDS codes only while the third algorithm can be used for decoding any linear block code. Our algorithms offer both complexity and performance advantage over BP and some existing algebraic decoding algorithms, especially for high rate linear HDPC codes of short or medium lengths.

Basement excavation and retaining is the key issue to bring to an end of a building. However, numerous factors are involved in this complicated excavation engineering. This is not so easy to handle by a fresh engineer in the field. This research thus aims on helping a fresh supervisor to recognize the key points of the basement retaining methods in a short time. In this research, for each retaining method the key items according to the excavation and support procedure of a retaining method were listed in a table. Hereon, their corresponding illustrations were shown. The author collected a lot of field photographs of the retaining methods for a basement excavation to figure out the important supervised points during his ten-year professional experience. Some conclusions are found in this research. The check-listing table with three main parts of supervision items, according to the excavation and support procedure, is handy for a field supervisor to inspect the engineering quality. The corresponding flow chart and illustration for each retaining method are also given in the same manner. This will assist a fresh supervisor to capture the key matter in a basement retaining engineering. The 160 field photographs of the basement retaining methods will enhance the field image for a fresh supervisor.

Abstract This report describes the internship undertaken in the fulfillment of my Master of Food Engineering, which was focused on the field of food safety and quality. This internship took place with the ComQualidade firm, whose line of business is centered on food safety consulting and pest control. During the six month internship period, I had the possibility of observing and executing audits in several businesses and of establishing close contact with the clients. In addition, I participated on the implementation of the HACCP system in new companies which were acquired by Com Qualidade during my internship. The internship comprised several phases. On an initial stage, I was present for and executed many audits for different clients in disparate fields – coffee shops, restaurants, grocery shops, bakeries with manufacturing production, small businesses, day centers, nursing homes, Continued Care Units and kindergartens. On these audits, I relied on Check-Lists that allowed me to assess requirement compliance and non-compliance. Based in my conclusions, I was able to calculate non- compliance penalties and to analyse the results. In the course of these six months, I came across and dealt with several types of costumers. There are those who take in account the advice we give, show interest and appreciate our work, but there are also some who disregard completely our recommendations and maintain the same infringements on the next visit. Key words: check-list; non-compliance; food safety; requirements; audits

In this thesis, we use multiple nested CRCs in the successive cancellation list decoding (SCLD) of polar codes instead of one single CRC in the literature. The method is to divide the source bits in one block into multiple parts, where each part adds one nested CRC. And all those bits, including source bits and check bits, become the information bits of polar codes to be encoded into a codeword. After the transmitter transmits the codeword, the receiver will use successive cancellation list decoding with multiple nested CRCs to decode the word. Simulation results show that multiple nested CRCs generally outperform a single CRC in the successive cancellation list decoding of polar codes.

In semiconductor foundry, the management of gas-supply system is extreme significant for factory-related members. In order to prevent and decline the possibility of human error and misjudgment while exchanging gases cylinders, a comprehensive and strict standard of process should be established and followed. In this study, an electronic management system of a semiconductor manufacturing foundry is illustrated. Firstly, we have to realize the needs for factory engineers and field operators, and then decided or modify the electronic management system. Second, we need to investigate how to design suitable and feasible check list of gases cylinder exchanging and analyze the potential issues of transforming paper-based documents into electronics database. Furthermore, we can integrate all gas cabinets of distinct ages and link to PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) through Wi-Fi by utilizing prior layout, allocation, and construction experiences for establishing new foundry or factory. By establishing this electronic system, the possibility of human error, misjudgment, and miss-operation can be avoided and reduced, besides, related engineers can be informed immediately while suffering from emergency. By using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis , we can verify and check if electronic check list is effective for operators for the procedure of replacing gases cylinder .Also, the risk and exclusion can be managed and controlled and ensure the safety of the operators.

In recent years domestic wafer type Solar cell fabs have been rapidly increasing in large numbers. Although the varieties of equipment, special gases and chemicals used for wafer type Solar cell fabrication is much less comparing with that of the with other semiconductor industry, the volume consumption of gases and chemicals is much larger. Consequently the risk is much higher. Partially due to rapid capacity expansion without established industry-wide safety evaluation mechanism, in November 23, 2005, a very serious fatal accident resulted from gas explosion occurred at Motech. This unfortunate event has raised the awareness of the urgency and importance of establishing risk mitigation practice for high volume mass production wafer type Solar cell fabs with capacity greater than 1000pcs/hr. The lesson learned from Motech accident is that risk mitigation practice of wafer type Solar cell fab needs to be reevaluated and improved. From the accident history of semiconductor manufacturing industry, the key point of operation safety is to base on manufacturing processes and the characteristic of gases/chemicals being used in the fab, systematically identify major latent risk factors and consequences. Then utilizing tools to simulate how the accident happened to formulate corrective actions and establish risk mitigation practice and emergency response plans to minimize the risk and scale of the accidents. Even though the solar cell industry is prosperous, the overall economy is depressed. More accidents might result in significant negative impact and losing up mobile momentum of the industry. Hence effective risk assessment and the establishment of comprehensive check list are critical. This paper utilizes hazardous risk assessment and supplement with systematic evaluation method to identify high risk production equipment in high volume mass production wafer type solar cell fab. When accompanied with case study of know accident in the industry, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) tool has been identified as highly risky due to its use of silane. A comprehensive assessment and risk mitigation practice with a check list have been established with the concurrence of operation units.

O presente trabalho enquadra-se num estágio de natureza profissional, realizado numa grande superfície de produtos alimentares durante um período de quinze semanas, desde 25 de Maio até 7 de Setembro de 2009, tendo incidido sobre o sistema de autocontrolo implementado nos produtos frescos, nomeadamente, nas secções de Padaria e Pastelaria, Frutas e Legumes, Charcutaria e Take-Away, Peixaria e Talho Os principais objectivos deste trabalho foram a verificação do cumprimento do Programa de Pré-Requisitos e das condições de Exposição/Reposição, Armazenamento, Transformação/Preparação e Autocontrolo existentes. Além disso, pretendeu-se efectuar uma análise crítica aos resultados obtidos de forma a elaborar sugestões que permitam melhorar o sistema de autocontrolo implementado. Em relação ao programa de Pré-Requisitos verificou-se que o mesmo era cumprido, enquanto para as condições de Exposição/Reposição, Armazenamento, Transformação/Preparação e Autocontrolo se observaram algumas inconformidades. Contudo, estas foram muito reduzidas e inferiores a 11%. Esta percentagem foi observada para a secção de Frutas e Legumes, pelo facto de se tratar de produtos particularmente frágeis, podendo ser deteriorados por diversos agentes. Nas restantes secções foram observadas de forma esporádica algumas inconformidades. Em relação às check-lists utilizadas verificou-se que estas suscitam algumas dúvidas em alguns tópicos, gerando alguma confusão. Dessa forma sugere-se a criação de um novo item intitulado “Avaliação do estado de higiene e de conservação dos móveis expositores”.

The main objectives of this work were the verification of the Pre-requisite fulfillment Program and the existing conditions of Exposition/Replacement, Storage, Transformation/ Preparation and Autocontrol. Additionally, it was intended to compose a critical analysis to the gotten results so that can be elaborated suggestions that can allow improvements to the system of autocontrol implemented. In relation to the Pre-requisite program it was verified that the same it was fulfilled, while for the conditions of Exposition/Replacement, Storage, Transformation/Preparation and Autocontrol it was observed some unconformities. However, these were reduced and lower than 11%. This percentage was observed in the section of Fruits and Vegetables, for the fact of, dealing with particularly fragile products, being able to be spoiled by diverse agents. In the remaining sections some unconformities had been observed of sporadic form. In relation to check-lists used, some confusion was verified that motivate some doubts in some topics. So it is suggested the creation of a new item named “Evaluation of the state of hygiene and conservation of the expositors furniture”.

Abstract:

O presente relatório centra-se na aplicação de um sistema de padronização numa célula de pintura industrial. Assim, e como a célula estudada não tinha no momento um sistema de padronização implementado, a principal motivação deste trabalho prendeu-se com a obtenção de benefícios que a normalização de boas práticas pode trazer aos processos, principalmente em indústrias extremamente competitivas, como é o caso do setor em que a empresa em estudo se insere. Para sustentar a implementação da padronização na célula de pintura foi primariamente realizado um estudo teórico sobre a metodologia de base: o LEAN, assim como sobre algumas das suas principais ferramentas. Em particular, destaca-se o Standard Work, ou Padronização, e a Auditoria. Fazendo uso deste levantamento bibliográfico e dos recursos presentes na empresa de acolhimento, foi assim gerado e implementado um sistema padronizado na célula de pintura, composto essencialmente por padrões de tarefas e documentação. Estes têm como principal função criar fundações de base fiável e íntegra, servindo de apoio ao controlo da qualidade, resolução de problemas, e implementação de melhorias no futuro industrial da célula visada. De modo complementar, foi também produzido um conjunto de propostas de implementações de novos métodos, incidindo principalmente na melhoria da qualidade de execução das operações de setup.

In the global real estate market, Taiwan created her own pre¬-sale system at first in 1960, and after that this pre¬-sale system is now popular in mainland China. Therefore, the pre¬-sale system in Taiwan is very different in the real estate trading market in the whole world nowadays. However, to buy a house of one’s own is every young man’s dream. But there are some disputes in taking pre-sale houses when they are finished later. For Instance: the problem of houses’ leakage, the problem of the right of the contract’s review, the problem of returning “the deposit”, the problem of termination of commission for sale or the pur chase contract, concealing the important information, the defects of the construction, the problem of returning the mediation fee from the broker, the dispute of service pay, the problem of the loan of the house, the shortage of level ground, the cheating behavior of the agency company, the advertisement’s false, the non-clearness of property, the delay of starting the work, the non-match between building materials & equipment, the controversial issues related to taxes and fees, the problem about not offering the important contract book or the contract for the choice of mediation fee, the inconsistence with the provisions of building floor area ratio, changing the design of some unsold part of pre-sale house by oneself without saying, increasing the number of houses for selling, the requirement for the customers to return the contract of construction companies, the problem of design and construction, the problem of way of paying the fee, the problem of the issue of loan, the problem of water seepage and leakage, the problem of flowing and drainage, the not-tallying between the advertising content on the public facilities by the construction company and the completion of the house , if there being the impropriation for the way of calculating of public facilities, the problem of the boundary of the calculation of house’s area , the problem of the area public house area, the sea sand room, the problem of the structure of engineering and safety of public works, the delay of handing the house, the problem for the right of use of roof and disputes for property, the problem of the right of use the basement and the dispute for property, the problem of the legal right of use of the vacant land and property dispute, the problem of the parking fee, the problem of usage of the contract, double selling for one house, the problem of earning the price difference of the agency company, the problem of the service remuneration issues, the not-tallying between the current content in the house’s manual and the house’s real status, the problem of chloride ion detection, the problem of radiation detection, the fleeing with the money of the salesman, tax evasion, the bankrupt of the construction company, the having right to use parking spaces whether or not, the problem of having parking area whether or not, the termination on the contract of commission for sale or sale and purchase, not providing the real estate’s guide, the problem of public area, the problem of part of the interest, the problem during the warranty period, the problem of water and air-condition, the problem of the issue of the floor and wall, the difference between the plane chart of advertisement and the authorized plane chart of construction, the not tallying between the building’s purpose in the advertisement and the content written in building permits and use license, the calculation of the house area for sale and the way of remedy, the problem of the dispute on the error of the house area , the problem of the registration of property right of basement,…etc. Therefore, in order to reduce some related disputes, dissension, and unhappiness between the construction company and consumers after the handing of the house the pre-sale house, this research has been offered. This article will set some methods according to some information previously to reduce the related disputes and dissension after handing the house of buyers and sellers under the asymmetric information condition of both. However there are a lot of kinds of disputes in “pre-sale house”. And this research tries to design “the trade house’s check list” to provide “the department of government”(ex: the municipal government, the county government, the construction and planning agency ministry of the Interior (CPAMI)),””the construction company”, “apartment building management company”, “agency company”, “the sales agent for company”, “the organization of the public utility which is handing over item by item”, “people who want to buy pre-sale houses”, “bank”, “the company which manage the multi-storey buildings”, “he management committee of the multi-storey building”, “the company of the estate management”, “the multi-storey building of water and electricity contractor”, “Estate management academic society website in folk (ex: Taiwan Institute of Property Management、Taichung Property Management Association), “consumer culture and education foundation in website” and “other researchers who want to study in the future.” In addition, this study is using the CAD software and the two different calculating ways: by using “the heart of the wall” and “the heart of the column” to calculate “the percentage of the public utility”, and it is attached in the back of the questionnaire of the study. So the customers who want to buy the pre-sale houses in the future can calculate by their own through the information if they have interests in the part of the percentage of the public utility for instance. Finally, this study planes to collect some kinds of common disputes of pre-sale houses in domestic and foreign. And it will also combine with the case of “the collective housing by some Taipei construction company” and with the calculation the percentage of the public utility to design “the trade house’s check list”. And by having a depth interview with “the construction company” , “architects”, “ land administration agents”, “agency company”, “people who want to buy pre-sale houses” and “others which have related with agencies or government department”, and through the transcript, we will collect some related views and opinions.

A população está a envelhecer e as incapacidades físicas, sensoriais e mentais estão profundamente evidentes, o que leva a que a pessoa idosa permaneça grande parte do seu tempo no domicílio. Existe a necessidade urgente de adaptar estes ambientes de vida e evitar os eventos de queda. Objetivos: Criar uma check-list que identifique os fatores de risco no domicílio; avaliar o risco de queda e caracterizar o evento de queda; identificar a divisão do domicílio com maior presença de fatores de risco; identificar qual o fator de risco mais prevalente em cada divisão. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo transversal de cariz quantitativo, no qual participaram 31 indivíduos com mais de 60 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos através do questionário de caracterização do participante, teste de Tinetti e Fatores de Risco de Queda no Domicílio (FRQD) – check-list. Foi realizado o consentimento informado e o estudo foi aprovado pela CNPD. Resultados: A FRQD apresentou uma boa fiabilidade interobservador (p > 0.05). 77.5% dos participantes estavam em risco de queda, 58.1% caíram no último ano (35.5% caíram 2 vezes ou mais) e a maioria apresentou equimoses (29.0%). As quedas ocorrerem maioritariamente no domicílio (94.4%) e sobretudo na área exterior da casa (76.5%). A divisão do domicílio onde mais caíram foi Escadas/Rampas e o fator de risco mais prevalente foi a presença de obstáculos. Através da FRQD a divisão com maior prevalência de fatores de risco foi o exterior do domicílio (46.25%) e os fatores de risco mais prevalentes foram o pavimento irregular, o desnível à entrada da habitação e a ausência de marcadores de contraste ou antiderrapante quando presente um desnível. Conclusão: A criação da FRQD – Check-list possibilitou a disponibilização de um instrumento em língua portuguesa de identificação de fatores de risco de queda no domicílio.
