Sistemas de informa����o: message integration bus

O trabalho apresentado por este documento aborda os problemas que adv��m da necessidade de integra����o de aplica����es, desenvolvidas em diferentes instantes no tempo, por diferentes equipas de trabalho, que para enriquecer os processos de neg��cio necessitam de comunicar entre si. A integra����o das aplica����es tem de ser feita de forma opaca para estas, sendo disponibilizada por uma pe��a de software gen��rica, robusta e sem custos para as equipas desenvolvimento, na altura da integra����o. Esta integra����o tem de permitir que as aplica����es comuniquem utilizando os protocolos que desejarem. Este trabalho prop��e um middleware orientado a mensagens como solu����o para o problema identificado. A solu����o apresentada por este trabalho disponibiliza a comunica����o entre aplica����es que utilizam diferentes protocolos, permite ainda o desacoplamento temporal, espacial e de sincronismo na comunica����o das aplica����es. A implementa����o da solu����o tem base num sistema publish/subscribe orientado ao conte��do e tem de lidar com as maiores exig��ncias computacionais que este tipo de sistema acarta, sendo que a utiliza����o deste se justifica com o enriquecimento da sem��ntica de subscri����o de eventos. Esta implementa����o utiliza uma arquitectura semi-distribu��da, com o objectivo de aumentar a escalabilidade do sistema. A utiliza����o da arquitectura semi-distribu��da implica que a implementa����o da solu����o tem de lidar com o encaminhamento de eventos e divulga����o das subscri����es, pelos v��rios servidores de eventos. A implementa����o da solu����o disponibiliza garantias de persist��ncia, processamento transaccional e toler��ncia a falhas, assim como transforma����o de eventos entre os diversos protocolos. A extensibilidade da solu����o �� conseguida �� custa de um sistema de pluggins que permite a adi����o de suporte a novos protocolos de comunica����o. Os protocolos suportados pela implementa����o final do trabalho s��o RestMS e TCP.

A import��ncia do programa preliminar e do projecto no ��mbito da contrata����o p��blica

O C��digo dos contratos p��blicos (CCP) veio introduzir alguns novos conceitos, nas empreitadas de obras p��blicas, sobre erros e omiss��es e tamb��m sobre trabalhos a mais. Tais conceitos t��m estado na origem de algumas pol��micas envolvendo donos de obra, projectistas, fiscaliza����es, empreiteiros e t��cnicos. Por outro, quer �� luz da anterior legisla����o quer ao abrigo da actual os desvios de pre��o e prazo, em empreitadas de obras p��blicas, continuam a ser frequentes, dir-se-�� mesmo, praticamente uma constante e frequentemente alvo nos meios de comunica����o. No ��mbito desta disserta����o pretende-se partilhar algumas reflex��es emergentes da observa����o efectuada, como participante activo em diversos empreendimentos. Verificar-se-�� ao longo da mesma disserta����o que nela �� atribu��da grande relev��ncia ao programa preliminar constante do Anexo I �� Portaria n.�� 701-H/2008 de 29 de Julho, que d�� origem ao projecto. Com efeito, este documento embora a sua designa����o de preliminar possa induzir em erro, levando a conferir-lhe pouca import��ncia, ��, em boa verdade, o programa fundamental, para um bom entendimento entre o dono de obra e o projectista e subsequentemente com o empreiteiro. Nesta disserta����o faz-se uma incurs��o pelos conte��dos mais relevantes do CCP, no ��mbito dos desvios de pre��o e custo, das empreitadas de obras p��blicas. Procede-se, tamb��m, a uma an��lise detalhada e sequencial das fases e actividades que contribuem para a concretiza����o de uma obra p��blica, observando simultaneamente o papel dos diversos intervenientes.

Evaluation of the improvements on pharmacy technicians' work practices after implementation of operational procedures

Several antineoplasic drugs have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic or to have mutagenic and teratogenic effects. The greatest protection is achieved with the implementation of administrative and engineering controls and safety procedures. Objective: to evaluate the improvements on pharmacy technicians' work practices, after the implementation of operational procedures related to individual protection, biologic safety cabinet disinfection and cytotoxic drug preparation. Method: case-study in a hospital pharmacy undergoing a certification process. Six pharmacy technicians were observed during their daily activities. Characterization of the work practices was made using a checklist based on ISOPP and PIC guidelines. The variables studied concerning cleaning/disinfection procedures, personal protective equipment and procedures for preparing cytotoxic drugs. The same work practices were evaluated after four months of operational procedures implementation. Concordance between work practices and guidelines was considered to be a quality indicator (guidelines concordance practices number/total number of practices x 100). Results: improvements were observed after operational procedures implementation. An improvement of 6,25% in personal protective equipment practice was achieved by changing second pair of gloves every thirty minutes. The major progress, 10%, was obtained in disinfection procedure, where 80% of tasks are now realized according to guidelines.By now, we hot an improvement of only 1% at drug preparation procedure by placing one cytotoxic drug at a time inside the biological safety cabinet. Then, 85% of practices are according to guidelines. Conclusion: before operational procedures implementation 80,3% of practices were according to the guidelines, while now is 84,4%. This indicates that is necessary to review the procedures frequently in the benefit to reduce the risks associated with handling cytotoxic drugs and maintenance of drug specifications.

Cultural organizations and communication in portuguese decentralization policy

This paper intends to show the Portuguese municipalities��� commitment, since the first decade of this century, in cultural facilities of municipal management and how it provided 12 of the 18 district capitals of mainland Portugal with cultural equipment, but after all we want to know if this effort resulted in a regular, diverse, and innovative schedule. Investing in urban regeneration, local governments have tried to convert cities��� demographic changes (strengthening of the most educated and professionally qualified groups) in effective cultural demands that consolidate the three axes of development competitiveness-innovation-creativity. What the empirical study to the programming and communication proposals of those equipment shows is that it is not enough to provide cities with facilities; to escape to a utilitarian conception of culture, there is a whole work to be done so that such equipment be experienced and felt as new public sphere. Equipment in which proposals go through a fluid bind, constructed through space and discourse with local community, devoted a diversified and innovative bet full filling development axis. This paper presents in a systematic way what contributes to this binding on the analyzed equipment.

Renewable power forecast to scheduling of thermal units

In this work is discussed the importance of the renewable production forecast in an island environment. A probabilistic forecast based on kernel density estimators is proposed. The aggregation of these forecasts, allows the determination of thermal generation amount needed to schedule and operating a power grid of an island with high penetration of renewable generation. A case study based on electric system of S. Miguel Island is presented. The results show that the forecast techniques are an imperative tool help the grid management.
