O desenvolvimento profissional dos professores de matemática, por meio de progra¬mas nacionais e formações contínuas, deve proporcionar experiências que envolvam investigação, pensamento, planeamento, prática e reflexão. No caso da tecnologia, não nos devemos focar nas ferramentas em si, mas no modo como são usadas pelos docentes em contexto de sala de aula. Existem taxonomias de atividades de apren¬dizagem baseadas no conteúdo assentes na ideia do professor como construtor do currículo, que, para integrar com sucesso a tecnologia educativa nas aulas, desenvolve o conhecimento pedagógico e tecnológico do conteúdo (TPACK), e apresenta-se a de matemática. Desse modo, reflete-se, por meio de vários estudos nacionais e internacionais, que as tecnologias deverão ser usadas pelos professores de acordo com objetivos, conteúdos e pedagogias específicas para terem um efeito positivo na aprendizagem dos alunos sobre as atividades baseadas no conteúdo que melhor se enquadram com essas tecnologias.

Aquest treball de recerca tracta de la relació existent entre pedagogia, traducció, llengües estrangeres i intel•ligències múltiples. El debat sobre si la traducció és una eina útil a la classe de llengües estrangeres és un tema actual sobre el qual molts investigadors encara indaguen. Estudis recents, però, han demostrat que qualsevol tasca de traducció -en la qual s’hi poden incloure treballs amb les diferents habilitats- és profitosa si la considerem un mitjà, no una finalitat en ella mateixa. Evidentment, l’ús de la traducció dins l’aula és avantatjosa, però també hem de tenir presents certs desavantatges d’aquesta aplicació. Un possible desavantatge podria ser la creença que, al principi, molta gent té referent a l’equivalència, paraula per paraula, d’una llengua vers una altra. Però després de presentar vàries tasques de traducció als estudiants, aquests poden arribar a controlar, fins i tot, les traduccions inconscients i poden assolir un cert nivell de precisió i flexibilitat que val la pena mencionar. Però l’avantatge principal és que s’enfronten a una activitat molt estesa dins la societat actual que combina dues llengües, la llengua materna i la llengua objecte d’estudi, per exemple. De tot això en podem deduir que utilitzar la llengua materna a la classe no s’ha de considerar un crim, com fins ara, sinó una virtut, evidentment si és emprada correctament. En aquest treball de recerca s’hi pot trobar una síntesi tant de les principals teories d’adquisició i aprenentatge de llengües com de les teories de traducció. A la pregunta de si les teories, tant de traducció com de llengües estrangeres, s’haurien d’ensenyar implícita o explícitament, es pot inferir que segons el nivell d’estudis on estiguin els aprenents els convindrà aprendre les teories explícitament o les aprendran, de totes maneres, implícitament. Com que qualsevol grup d’estudiants és heterogeni -és a dir que cada individu té un ritme i un nivell d’aprenentatge concret i sobretot cadascú té diferents estils de percepció (visual, auditiu, gustatiu, olfactiu, de moviment) i per tant diferents intel•ligències-, els professors ho han de tenir en compte a l’hora de planificar qualsevol programa d’actuació vers els alumnes. Per tant, podem concloure que les tasques o projectes de traducció poden ajudar als alumnes a aprendre millor, més eficaçment i a aconseguir un aprenentatge més significatiu.

The Institute of Public Health in Ireland were asked to submit a paper on 'Cross-border cooperation on healthcare' for a joint meeting between the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children and the Northern Ireland Assembly Health Committee which took place in Leinster House on 1 March 2012. Key points from the submission included: o The Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH) is an all-island organisation which promotes cooperation between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland with the aim of improving population health on the island and tackling health inequalities. IPH work is focused on addressing the causes of ill health rather than the design and delivery of treatment services. o North/South cooperation on health was mandated under the Belfast Agreement in 1998 in five domains, including health promotion. IPH has supported the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) in respect of the health promotion strand since inception. o The Department of Health and Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety North-South Feasibility Study (December 2011) states that mutual benefits are most evident from cooperation in the areas of (i) anticipating trends and illnesses in a collective manner (ii) public health issues (iii) specialised services where the population or activity required to sustain the service cannot be met by either jurisdiction alone and (iv) in relation to those areas adjacent to the border. o The European Directive on Cross-Border Healthcare will be implemented in the next few years which will have implications in relation to patients travelling for healthcare across the Republic of Ireland/Northern Ireland border. o IPH is supporting the development of new public health strategies in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland which are both due for publication this year. o There are tangible benefits from cross-border cooperation in the health sector, both in public health and in health service planning and delivery and there are many examples of successful initiatives. However, developments are not occurring in the context of an agreed plan or overall strategic context and tend to be project-based and concentrated in border counties. o Successful cross-border cooperation requires high level support and integration into departmental policy cycles. The provision of data on an all-island basis supports cross-border cooperation as does the operation of sustainable all-island organisations which can support research, evaluations and programmes. o In the future, cross-border cooperation in health will be more effective if developed with a strategic planning process intrinsically linked to Departmental priorities. o North-South cooperation in the areas of alcohol, obesity, tobacco health surveys and rare diseases will be particularly beneficial.

The study provides an evaluation of health and social services from the perspective of older people themselves and provides an opportunity for older people to express their lifelong care preferences. The National Council on Ageing and Older People strongly endorses the principle that older people should be involved in the development, planning and evaluation of their health and social services. This is underpinned by the principle that a health service fit for older people is a quality service that benefits everyone Download the Report here

This study described the demographic and medical characteristics of a population of patients with HIV/AIDS attending the department of Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) at a major Dublin hospital. The study population's utilisation of statutory and voluntary medical and social services at primary care level, satisfaction with services received and perceived need for services examined. The information obtained was used to make recommendations concerning the provision of care to patients with HIV/AIDS. The study was carried out between February and November 1994. Data was collected from a consecutive sample of eighty inpatients using n interviewer-administered questionnaire which contained both closed and open questions. The first forty patients interviewed were reviewed six months following the initial interview to document changes in physical condition and uptake of medical services over that time period. Data for the second part of the study was obtained by review of the patients' medical case notes and interview with the individual hospital medical social worker assigned to each patient. Over ninety percent of respondents were from the Greater Dublin Area. Almost three quarters were intravenous drug users (IVDUs), and the majority of these patients came from south inner city Dublin. The methodology was biased towards sampling patients with advanced disease and 73% had CDC Stage 4 disease. Twenty percent required some assistance with the activities of daily living when first interviewed. Most were reliant on informal carers. Social and physical dependency increased substantially over the six month period of the follow-up study of forty patients. Financial difficulties were identified as a particular area of need. Only ten percent of those interviewed were in current employment and over 80% were dependent on statutory payments. There is a need for greater co-ordination between the providers of services to patients HIV/AIDS and an improved system of data collection regarding patients' uptake of services and unmet needs is required to assist in future service planning.This resource was contributed by The National Documentation Centre on Drug Use.

This paper surveys control architectures proposed in the literature and describes a control architecture that is being developed for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle for intervention missions (SAUVIM) at the University of Hawaii. Conceived as hybrid, this architecture has been organized in three layers: planning, control and execution. The mission is planned with a sequence of subgoals. Each subgoal has a related task supervisor responsible for arranging a set of pre-programmed task modules in order to achieve the subgoal. Task modules are the key concept of the architecture. They are the main building blocks and can be dynamically re-arranged by the task supervisor. In our architecture, deliberation takes place at the planning layer while reaction is dealt through the parallel execution of the task modules. Hence, the system presents both a hierarchical and an heterarchical decomposition, being able to show a predictable response while keeping rapid reactivity to the dynamic environment

Contexte: la planification infirmière de sortie des personnes âgées est une composante importante des soins pour assurer une transition optimale entre l'hôpital et la maison. Beaucoup d'événements indésirables peuvent survenir après la sortie de l'hôpital. Dans une perspective de système de santé, les facteurs qui augmentent ce risque incluent un nombre croissant de patients âgés, l'augmentation de la complexité des soins nécessitant une meilleure coordination des soins après la sortie, ainsi qu'une augmentation de la pression financière. Objectif: évaluer si les interventions infirmières liées à la planification de sortie chez les personnes âgées et leurs proches aidants sont prédictives de leur perception d'être prêts pour le départ, du niveau d'anxiété du patient le jour de la sortie de l'hôpital et du nombre de recours non programmé aux services de santé durant les trente jours après la sortie. Méthode: le devis est prédictif corrélationnel avec un échantillon de convenance de 235 patients. Les patients âgés de 65 ans de quatre unités d'hôpitaux dans le canton de Vaud en Suisse ont été recrutés entre novembre 2011 et octobre 2012. Les types et les niveaux d'interventions infirmières ont été extraits des dossiers de soins et analysés selon les composantes du modèle de Naylor. La perception d'être prêt pour la sortie et l'anxiété ont été mesurées un jour avant la sortie en utilisant l'échelle de perception d'être prêt pour la sortie et l'échelle Hospital Anxiety and Depression. Un mois après la sortie, un entretien téléphonique a été mené pour évaluer le recours non programmé aux services de santé durant cette période. Des analyses descriptives et un modèle randomisé à deux niveaux ont été utilisés pour analyser les données. Résultats: peu de patients ont reçu une planification globale de sortie. L'intervention la plus fréquente était la coordination (M = 55,0/100). et la moins fréquente était la participation du patient à la planification de sortie (M = 16,1/100). Contrairement aux hypothèses formulées, les patients ayant bénéficié d'un plus grand nombre d'interventions infirmières de préparation à la sortie ont un niveau moins élevé de perception d'être prêt pour le départ (B = -0,3, p < 0,05, IC 95% [-0,57, -0,11]); le niveau d'anxiété n'est pas associé à la planification de sortie (r = -0,21, p <0,01) et la présence de troubles cognitifs est le seul facteur prédictif d'une réhospitalisation dans les 30 jours après la sortie de l'hôpital ( OR = 1,50, p = 0,04, IC 95% [1,02, 2,22]). Discussion: en se focalisant sur chaque intervention de la planification de sortie, cette étude permet une meilleure compréhension du processus de soins infirmiers actuellement en cours dans les hôpitaux vaudois. Elle met en lumière les lacunes entre les pratiques actuelles et celles de pratiques exemplaires donnant ainsi une orientation pour des changements dans la pratique clinique et des recherches ultérieures. - Background: Nursing discharge planning in elderly patients is an important component of care to ensure optimal transition from hospital to home. Many adverse events may occur after hospital discharge. From a health care system perspective, contributing factors that increase the risk of these adverse events include a growing number of elderly patients, increased complexity of care requiring better care coordination after discharge, as well as increased financial pressure. Aim: To investigate whether older medical inpatients who receive comprehensive discharge planning interventions a) feel more ready for hospital discharge, b) have reduced anxiety at the time of discharge, c) have lower health care utilization after discharge compared to those who receive less comprehensive interventions. Methods: Using a predictive correlational design, a convenience sample of 235 patients was recruited. Patients aged 65 and older from 4 units of hospitals in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland were enrolled between November 2011 and October 2012. Types and level of interventions were extracted from the medical charts and analyzed according to the components of Naylor's model. Discharge readiness and anxiety were measured one day before discharge using the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. A telephone interview was conducted one month after hospital discharge to asses unplanned health services utilization during this follow-up period. Descriptive analyses and a two- level random model were used for statistical analyses. Results: Few patients received comprehensive discharge planning interventions. The most frequent intervention was Coordination (M = 55,0/100) and the least common was Patient participation in the discharge planning (M = 16,1/100). Contrary to our hypotheses, patients who received more nursing discharge interventions were significantly less ready to go home (B = -0,3, p < 0,05, IC 95% [-0,57, -0,11]); their anxiety level was not associated with their readiness for hospital discharge (r = -0,21, p <0,01) and cognitive impairment was the only factor that predicted rehospitalization within 30 days after discharge ( OR = 1,50, p = 0,04, IC 95% [1,02, 2,22]). Discussion: By focusing on each component of the discharge planning, this study provides a greater and more detailed insight on the usual nursing process currently performed in medical inpatients units. Results identified several gaps between current and Best practices, providing guidance to changes in clinical practice and further research.

Although tremendous advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, hospital administrative systems have progressed relatively slowly. The types of information available to managers in industrial sectors are not available in the health sector. For this reason, many phenomena, such as the variations of average costs and lengths of stay between different hospitals, have remained poorly explained.The DRG system defines groups of patients that consume relatively homogeneous quantities of hospital resources. On the basis, it is possible to standardize average lengths of stay and average hospital costs in terms of the differences in case mix treated. Thus DRGs can serve as an explanation of variations in these factors between different hospitals, and also (but not only) for prospective reimbursement schems. As in a number of other European countries, a project has been set up in Switzerland to examine the possibilities of using DRGs in hospital management, planning and financing.
