Modelação do processo de reconhecimento de estudos em Angola

Apesar de as tecnologias e os Sistemas de Informação (SI) serem hoje fatores essenciais para uma gestão eficiente, estes não têm, por si só, sido suficientes para garantir os resultados desejados na medida em que fragmentam os processos de negócio em torno de suas aplicações funcionais. Clareza na perceção dos requisitos dos processos de negócio a serem implementados em SI torna-se um fator determinante para que os resultados provenientes da sua implementação revertam em benefícios para as organizações. Esta dissertação tem por base a utilização do recurso da modelação, inserida nas melhores práticas de Business Process Management (BPM), como ferramenta de eliciação dos requisitos dos processos de negócio, com a intenção de mitigar ou eliminar dificuldades no seu entendimento e garantir o alinhamento destes com os objetivos estratégicos da organização. Para o desenvolvimento prático, foi realizado um Caso de Estudo, onde se procedeu à Modelação do Processo de Negócio de Reconhecimento de Estudos em Angola, utilizando a Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). O contributo deste trabalho consiste na apresentação dos benefícios da prática de modelação de processos de negócio, suportada pela aplicação da abordagem BPM. Ambiciona-se que o resultado obtido possa contribuir na explicitação e visibilidade dos processos, favorecendo o entendimento dos seus requisitos, e garantir o alcance dos resultados esperados aquando da sua implementação em SI.

Modelação de processos de negócio: análise comparativa de linguagens

Subjacente a qualquer projeto de Business Process Management (BPM) está a necessidade de representar processos de negócio, recorrendo a linguagens adequadas para o efeito. Neste artigo, partindo de uma revisão aprofundada da literatura mais relevante, faz-se uma análise comparativa de cinco das linguagens de modelação de processos de negócio atualmente mais utilizadas no âmbito dos projetos BPM. O objetivo principal é conhecer os pontos fortes e as maiores limitações de cada uma, de modo a poder traçar uma perspetiva comparativa entre elas. Para esse efeito, descrevem-se sucintamente as respetivas notações fazendo-se uma breve análise aos elementos utilizados por cada técnica de modelação. Depois de devidamente analisadas estabelece-se um framework comparativo de cada uma das notações relativamente a um conjunto de critérios relevantes para a sua comparação, assinalando os trabalhos mais relevantes.

El futuro de la sanidad ambiental en Andalucía: oportunidades de mejora.

In the present article is presented a portrait of the situation of the environmental health in the administration of Andalusian Goverment; are analyzed implanted management formulations and we believe a reflection space on the professional exercise and the course begun with the organizational process in the Andalusian public health. The public health system has not undergone reconstruction from the process of transferences from the State towards the autonomous Communities. We identified the extrapolation of the model clinicalassistance management to the public health structures without delving what is sufficient in their organization and objectives. Setting of business process management (BMP) has got worse the administrative bureaucracy and the teamwork has not been preceded of alliances and agreements that generate feeling of ownership the same organization to avoid professional conflicts. We bet on strengthening the paper of the environmental health technicians as referring in the identification of this performances within public health system. For this propose we need the implication of all the professionals in the reform of the organization and management of the health public, to evolve in the professional exercise creating a regulated academic specialty and to define the competences maps in their different capabilites areas.

Recepción, clasificación según escala Manchester y atención sanitaria inicial al paciente que acude a un Dispositivo de Cuidados Críticos y Urgencias (DCCU) con motivo de consulta “Diabetes”: Posibilidad de intervención finalista de la enfermera en la consulta de triage (Triage Avanzado) ante la hipoglucemia. Colaboración multidisciplinar y criterios de derivación

The Andalusian Public Health System (SSPA) is considering the last time an attempt urgent process management through triage consultation, both hospital and primary care environment and tables situations in which the nurse responsible for these consultations can carry out a final statement of which only she is directly responsible through their independent intervention and referral (Triage Advanced). Pose, at once and consistently to the idea of teamwork, where they can be the limits to that intervention finalist and the circuits to follow. This paper proposes a definition line of one of those situations through triage concepts universally tested, and takes full advantage of advanced practice profile offered by nurses Device Critical Care (DCCU) of the SSPA and any the emerging legal and regulatory framework in terms of standardized collaborative prescription, us know legitimate receivers. This work stems from the vision of professionals and our contribution to that line of institutional work that must be consensus.

A microRNA Signature Associated with Early Recurrence in Breast Cancer.

Recurrent breast cancer occurring after the initial treatment is associated with poor outcome. A bimodal relapse pattern after surgery for primary tumor has been described with peaks of early and late recurrence occurring at about 2 and 5 years, respectively. Although several clinical and pathological features have been used to discriminate between low- and high-risk patients, the identification of molecular biomarkers with prognostic value remains an unmet need in the current management of breast cancer. Using microarray-based technology, we have performed a microRNA expression analysis in 71 primary breast tumors from patients that either remained disease-free at 5 years post-surgery (group A) or developed early (group B) or late (group C) recurrence. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of microRNA expression data segregated tumors in two groups, mainly corresponding to patients with early recurrence and those with no recurrence. Microarray data analysis and RT-qPCR validation led to the identification of a set of 5 microRNAs (the 5-miRNA signature) differentially expressed between these two groups: miR-149, miR-10a, miR-20b, miR-30a-3p and miR-342-5p. All five microRNAs were down-regulated in tumors from patients with early recurrence. We show here that the 5-miRNA signature defines a high-risk group of patients with shorter relapse-free survival and has predictive value to discriminate non-relapsing versus early-relapsing patients (AUC = 0.993, p-value<0.05). Network analysis based on miRNA-target interactions curated by public databases suggests that down-regulation of the 5-miRNA signature in the subset of early-relapsing tumors would result in an overall increased proliferative and angiogenic capacity. In summary, we have identified a set of recurrence-related microRNAs with potential prognostic value to identify patients who will likely develop metastasis early after primary breast surgery.

Automatização de processo de negócio usando ferramentas de BPM Open Source Automatização do processo Segunda Via

Este trabalho foi realizado no âmbito dos regulamentos dos cursos de graduação para a obtenção do grau de licenciatura na universidade Jean Piaget de Cabo Verde. Nele abordamos os conceitos de Bussines Process Management (BPM), Bussines Process Automation (BPA) e Open Source, cujo seu principal objectivo é dar a conhecer o estudo e implementação de automatização de processo de negócio usando ferramentas de BPM Open Source e o seu impacto depois da implementação. No presente trabalho fez-se uma investigação sobre algumas ferramentas Open Source usadas na automatização de processos de negócio, e implementado um processo BPM no framework Activiti para automatização do processo de negócio segunda via dos números dos clientes da Unitel T+. Para a automatização do processo Segunda Via foi integrado os frameworks Activiti e o Liferay, visto que dado a realidade de uma operadora de telecomunicação existe uma plataforma de gestão dos dados dos clientes implementado no Liferay, e havia necessidade de integrar estes dois frameworks distintos. Um dos maiores desafios na integração dos dois frameworks foi a autenticação. Para dar resposta a este problema, obter maior nível de segurança e sincronizar os frameworks foi utilizado o Hook que permite uma única autenticação e balanceamento (sincronização) dos dados no Activiti e no Liferay.
