Progettazione di un kit di supporto ai corsi Project Based Learning: il ruolo del tutor nel modello Tech to Market.

L’istruzione superiore in Europa è stata oggetto di un significativo processo di riforma: è aumentato l’interesse per un modello di apprendimento intorno ai progetti, centrato sullo studente, che favorisse lo sviluppo di competenze trasversali – il project-based learning (PBL). Inserire il PBL nelle Università richiede un processo di innovazione didattica: il curriculum di un corso PBL e le competenze richieste all’insegnante si differenziano dall’apprendimento tradizionale. Senza un'adeguata attenzione ai metodi di supporto per insegnanti e studenti, questi approcci innovativi non saranno ampiamente adottati. L’obiettivo di questo studio è determinare in che modo sia possibile implementare un corso PBL non presenziato da figure esperte di PBL. Le domande della ricerca sono: è possibile implementare efficacemente un approccio PBL senza il coinvolgimento di esperti dei metodi di progettazione? come si declinano i ruoli della facilitazione secondo questa configurazione: come si definisce il ruolo di tutor d’aula? come rafforzare il supporto per l’implementazione del corso? Per rispondere alle domande di ricerca è stata utilizzata la metodologia AIM-R. Viene presentata la prima iterazione dell’implementazione di un corso di questo tipo, durante la quale sono state svolte attività di ricerca e raccolta dati. L’attività di facilitazione è affidata a tre figure diverse: docente, tutor d’aula e coach professionisti. Su questa base, sono stati definiti gli elementi costituenti un kit di materiale a supporto per l’implementazione di corsi PBL. Oltre a un set di documenti e strumenti condivisi, sono stati elaborati i vademecum per guidare studenti, tutor e docenti all’implementazione di questo tipo di corsi. Ricerche future dovranno essere volte a identificare fattori aggiuntivi che rendano applicabile il kit di supporto per corsi basati su un modello diverso dal Tech to Market o che utilizzino strumenti di progettazione diversi da quelli proposti durante la prima iterazione.

Marcação CE de dispositivos médicos e segurança em software

Com o crescente aumento da Teleradiologia, sentiu-se necessidade de criar mais e melhores softwares para sustentar esse crescimento. O presente trabalho pretende abordar a temática da certificação de software e a sua marcação CE, pois para dar entrada no mercado Europeu todos os Dispositivos Médicos (DM) têm de estar devidamente certificados. Para efetuar a marcação CE e a certificação serão estudadas normas e normativos adequados para marcação de DM ao nível Europeu e também dos Estados Unidos da América. A temática da segurança de dados pessoais será também estudada de forma a assegurar que o dispositivo respeite a legislação em vigor. Este estudo tem como finalidade a certificação de um software proprietário da efficientia sysPACS, um serviço online abrangente, que permite a gestão integrada do armazenamento e distribuição de imagens médicas para apoio ao diagnóstico.

Sistema de apoio à decisão do rastreio do cancro da mama

O estudo do rastreio do cancro da mama funciona não só como um benefício, mas também como um método que pode causar controvérsias nas mulheres consideradas saudáveis antes de se submeterem ao rastreio. Assim, a necessidade do utente adquirir conhecimento sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do rastreio do cancro da mama é fundamental para decidir se, se submete ou não, a este rastreio. A decisão do paciente é crucial na decisão final e as consequências já devem ser do seu conhecimento. Com este estudo, pretendeu-se o desenvolvimento de um Sistema de Informação (SI) na Web, que funcione como auxiliar no processo de tomada de decisão para a realização do rastreio do cancro da mama. A decisão do componente do SI é fundamental, com o objetivo de auxiliar os utilizadores no processo de tomada de decisão para a realização do rastreio do cancro da mama. O desenvolvimento da plataforma “Decidir”, apresenta-se numa aplicação crucial no domínio médico da decisão do rastreio do cancro da mama, onde referências às suas controvérsias e benefícios são fundamentais para um melhor cuidado de saúde. Para esse efeito foram implementadas duas ferramentas para ajudar na decisão de realizar ou não o rastreio do cancro da mama. A primeira ferramenta resulta na decisão pessoal de cada indivíduo (paciente/profissionais de saúde), que pode ser variável, conforme um conjunto de proposições relevantes no aspeto pessoal e clínico para a tomada de decisão do rastreio nesta área.

Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network Final Report 2007-2008

The Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network (IISN) was formally established in 2004, though surveillance has been conducted at the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) for more than ten years. The IISN is comprised of four primary surveillance systems- sentinel health care providers, hospital-based, laboratory-based, and school-based. Sentinel health care providers are part of the U.S. Influenza Sentinel Provider Surveillance System. All systems, except certain sentinel sites, report October-March. Schools and long-term care facilities report data weekly into a Web-based reporting system. Schools report the number of students absent due to illness and the total enrolled. Long-term care facilities report cases of influenza and vaccination status of each case. Both passively report outbreaks of illness, including influenza, to IDPH.
