O que se diz quando se pensa em energia? Reflexões sobre o tema da energia a partir das representações dos jovens e dos professores de uma escola secundária

A importância da eficiência energética em edifícios de uso coletivo através do aperfeiçoamento das práticas de conservação e da implementação de novas tecnologias, enfatiza o papel que a mudança de comportamentos associados ao uso e à conservação de energia detém na melhoria desta eficiência. Mas como contribuir para a alteração de comportamentos sem antes conhecer os sentidos e significados sociais atribuídos à energia? Considerando que este conhecimento é fulcral para a alteração de comportamentos, recorre-se aos resultados de um inquérito por questionário sobre o uso de energia desenvolvido com alunos e professores de uma escola secundária de Lisboa recentemente intervencionada, para caracterizar as representações sociais da energia destes dois grupos (cf. projeto Net Zero Energy School - Reaching the Community – FCT/MIT Portugal). A primeira pergunta do questionário solicitava aos inquiridos que indicassem as primeiras três palavras que lhes vinham à ideia quando pensavam em energia. A maioria dos alunos associou a palavra “energia” às energias renováveis e à luz, e os professores à ambiente e sustentabilidade energética, às questões de natureza económica e de consumo. Explora-se aqui os aspetos centrais e periféricos das representações da energia na explicitação dos sentidos e significados atribuídos a energia e discutem-se as questões fundamentais a considerar no âmbito da mudança de comportamentos de uso e conservação de energia numa dada comunidade escolar.

The influence of multimorbidity on hospital, intensive care, and emergency department use at the end of life for patients with chronic conditions

Risk Modelling Framework for Emergency Hospital Readmission, Using Hospital Episode Statistics Inpatient Data

The objective of this study was to develop, test and benchmark a framework and a predictive risk model for hospital emergency readmission within 12 months. We performed the development using routinely collected Hospital Episode Statistics data covering inpatient hospital admissions in England. Three different timeframes were used for training, testing and benchmarking: 1999 to 2004, 2000 to 2005 and 2004 to 2009 financial years. Each timeframe includes 20% of all inpatients admitted within the trigger year. The comparisons were made using positive predictive value, sensitivity and specificity for different risk cut-offs, risk bands and top risk segments, together with the receiver operating characteristic curve. The constructed Bayes Point Machine using this feature selection framework produces a risk probability for each admitted patient, and it was validated for different timeframes, sub-populations and cut-off points. At risk cut-off of 50%, the positive predictive value was 69.3% to 73.7%, the specificity was 88.0% to 88.9% and sensitivity was 44.5% to 46.3% across different timeframes. Also, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 73.0% to 74.3%. The developed framework and model performed considerably better than existing modelling approaches with high precision and moderate sensitivity.

Business Process Modelling based on formal temporal theory with an application to hospital patient flows

Existing Workflow Management Systems (WFMSs) follow a pragmatic approach. They often use a proprietary modelling language with an intuitive graphical layout. However the underlying semantics lack a formal foundation. As a consequence, analysis issues, such as proving correctness i.e. soundness and completeness, and reliable execution are not supported at design level. This project will be using an applied ontology approach by formally defining key terms such as process, sub-process, action/task based on formal temporal theory. Current business process modelling (BPM) standards such as Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and Unified Modelling Language (UML) Activity Diagram (AD) model their constructs with no logical basis. This investigation will contribute to the research and industry by providing a framework that will provide grounding for BPM to reason and represent a correct business process (BP). This is missing in the current BPM domain, and may result in reduction of the design costs and avert the burden of redundant terms used by the current standards. A graphical tool will be introduced which will implement the formal ontology defined in the framework. This new tool can be used both as a modelling tool and at the same time will serve the purpose of validating the model. This research will also fill the existing gap by providing a unified graphical representation to represent a BP in a logically consistent manner for the mainstream modelling standards in the fields of business and IT. A case study will be conducted to analyse a catalogue of existing ‘patient pathways’ i.e. processes, of King’s College Hospital NHS Trust including current performance statistics. Following the application of the framework, a mapping will be conducted, and new performance statistics will be collected. A cost/benefits analysis report will be produced comparing the results of the two approaches.
