Contributions for best practices in social recruitment: pilot study in the Northern Region of Portugal

Recruitment is based on a conglomerate of techniques and procedures put in place to attract qualified. The recruitment process has suffered changes, becoming even more sophisticated, involving a whole organisation and a whole community. A new source of recruitment has emerged with the use of online social networks using facilitators in its development and usage, allowing the search for candidates to be fast, cheap and "global". In Portugal, the information available and studies conducted into this phenomenon are still irrelevant, with little reported on the importance of online social recruitment. The purpose of this article is to contribute to what is understood by the professional process of recruitment through online social media by recruitment companies in the Northern Region of Portugal, analysing the use of online media by recruitment professionals, facilitator support tools and the associated best practices.

Sistema de recomendação à prevenção odontológica, ortodontia e higiene oral

A tecnologia está em constante evolução e os benefícios, em diversas áreas, que ela nos traz são imensos. Uma das áreas que tem vindo a usufruir desta evolução é a medicina. Os avanços na tecnologia médica têm permitido aos médicos diagnosticar e tratar melhor os seus pacientes. O seu objetivo não é substituir o médico mas sim aconselhá-los e ajudá-los a tomar a melhor decisão face ao caso clínico que possam ter em mãos. Os sistemas de informação estão já tão “entrelaçados” com as práticas médicas que a ideia de uma instituição de prestação de cuidados médicos não os possuir é impensável. Isto porque a informação que estes sistemas processam diariamente é imensa e variadíssima (indo desde relatórios clínicos, a exames efetuados entre outros) para cada utente. As doenças orais fazem parte do grupo de patologias que afetam o maior número de pessoas no mundo. As ações preventivas para estes sintomas devem fazer parte da higiene diária dos indivíduos logo desde os primeiros anos de vida. Assim a aplicação apresentada nesta tese teve como objetivo a sensibilização para uma prática de higiene oral cuidada e constante. Teve também como objetivo a implementação de funcionalidades para gestão de dados dos pacientes da clínica, nomeadamente para o histórico clínico, ficando este armazenado numa anamnese. Para a implementação do presente projeto procedeu-se a um estudo prévio do estado da arte e ao levantamento de requisitos. Estes foram definidos através de reuniões de trabalho onde se analisou as necessidades da clínica com o objetivo de encontrar as soluções que melhor se enquadravam a cada caso. Para garantir que as metas propostas foram alcançadas, foram realizados inquéritos verificando assim o sucesso da aplicação.

Knowledge and practices of general practitioners of district Peshawar about schizophrenia

ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia with its disabling features has been placed in the top ten of global burden of disease and is associated with long-term decline in functional ability. General Practitioners not only have an important role in treating patients with an established diagnosis of schizophrenia but they can also contribute significantly by identifying people in early stages of psychosis as they are the first hand medical help available and the duration of untreated psychosis is a good indicator of patient’s prognosis. This cross sectional survey, conducted at the clinics of General Practitioners, was designed to assess the knowledge and practices of general practitioners in Peshawar on diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. A semi structured questionnaire was used to assess their knowledge and practices regarding schizophrenia. The Knowledge/Practice was then categorized as good or poor based on their responses to the questions of the administered questionnaire. Overall, the results showed that the knowledge and practices of general practitioners of district Peshawar were poor regarding schizophrenia and may be responsible for delayed diagnosis, inadequate treatment and poor prognosis.
