A Level-Based Approach to Prioritize Telecommunications R&D

In this paper, an approach to evaluate R&D projects in telecommunications is presented. These projects have particular features that cannot be properly incorporated by classical valuation methods. This approach incorporates different criteria, both quantitative and qualitative, and also management flexibility and uncertainty. Thus, it is an approach that can be applied to real data of R&D projects in a telecommunications company

The benzodiazepines use and psychological intervention in a Porto health center

The misuse of benzodiazepines is a well know public health problem. For this reason, it is more and more relevant to monitor misuse and try to implement solutions. We aim to understand the use of benzodiazepines in a health center population in the city of Porto, as well the connections with present, past and future psychological intervention. We have built a questionnaire to assess usage of both benzodiazepines and psychological services. Our sample population included individuals older than 18 years who picked up our questionnaire in health center waiting rooms. A total of 352 participants, 258 females and 92 males, answered the questionnaire. Results points to an excessive use of benzodiazepines, especially in older persons, divorced or widowed, and females. We found a significant association between the current interest in receiving psychological intervention and the use of benzodiazepines. In the same way, the participants who have received psychological intervention use benzodiazepines less in comparison to the participants who are still receiving psychological intervention. In conclusion, there is an abuse of benzodiazepines in this health center, and few access to psychological intervention that may have good results reducing benzodiazepines abuse

[EN] The 2009 campaign has developed a broad topographic program of the complex of Qarassa 3, determining a stratigraphic sequence with two levels removed and a third probably in situ. A detailed topography was made of the 9 circular structures found in earlier campaigns, as well as a division of the interior surface in two halves and the intervention on the western half of structures 4 and 9, within which the so-called mortar holes have been analyzed. On the other hand, two areas of excavation have been opened in the deposit PPNB of Tell Qarassa Norte, where different architectonic elements at different levels, abundant carved material and burial spaces have been detected.[ES] La campaña 2009 ha desarrollado un amplio programa topográfico del conjunto de Qarassa 3, determinando una secuencia estratigráfica con dos niveles removidos y un tercero, probablemente in situ. De las 9 estructuras circulares halladas en campañas anteriores, se ha realizado una topografía detallada, una división de la superficie interior en dos mitades y la intervención en la mitad occidental en las estructuras 4 y 9, dentro de las cuales se han analizado los denominados agujeros-morteros. Por otro lado, en el yacimiento PPNB de Tell Qarassa Norte se han abierto dos zonas de excavación, donde se han detectado diferentes elementos arquitectónicos a distintos niveles, material tallado en abundancia y espacios de enterramientos.Peer Reviewe
