    TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Araranguá. Engenharia da Computação.Exercer a cidadania é colocar em prática direitos e deveres em busca de uma sociedade melhor, para que a solidariedade, justiça e liberdade estejam cada vez mais presentes e comuns. O direito à informação não é uma regalia, mas sim a expressão da liberdade e participação do cidadão. A informação transparente dos gastos públicos transformou-se em lei no ano de 2011 e a partir desta data, todo cidadão com acesso à internet pode consultar os gastos administrativos do país. O acesso à informação faz o cidadão ser mais participativo politicamente. Este trabalho consiste em analisar todos os dados no período de fevereiro de 2014 a junho de 2018 via portal de transparência da cidade de Florianópolis, do balancete dos vereadores do município, implementando uma ferramenta que os torna graficamente visíveis e permite, em sequência, uma análise não fragmentada do orçamento governamental. O desenvolvimento da ferramenta utilizou conceitos de banco de dados e programação PHP. Inicialmente é feita uma pesquisa bibliográfica, depois o levantamento dos dados do portal da transparência de Florianópolis, a conversão dos dados de PDF para CSV, o desenvolvimento em PHP para interpretar os dados em CSV e popular o banco, a leitura do banco de dados para apresentação gráfica e por final elabora-se um questionário para verificar a utilidade do sistema de visualização

    High-frequency audiometry hearing on monitoring of individuals exposed to occupational noise: a systematic review

    Get PDF
    The literature reports on high-frequency audiometry as one of the exams used on hearing monitoring of individuals exposed to high sound pressure in their work environment, due to the method́s greater sensitivity in early identification of hearing loss caused by noise. The frequencies that compose the exam are generally between 9 KHz and 20KHz, depending on the equipment. This study aims to perform a retrospective and secondary systematic revision of publications on high-frequency audiometry on hearing monitoring of individuals exposed to occupational noise. This systematic revision followed the methodology proposed in the Cochrane Handbook, focusing on the question: “Is High-frequency Audiometry more sensitive than Conventional Audiometry in the screening of early hearing loss individuals exposed to occupational noise?” The search was based on PubMed data, Base, Web of Science (Capes), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), and in the references cited in identified and selected articles. The search resulted in 6059 articles in total. Of these, only six studies were compatible with the criteria proposed in this study. The performed meta-analysis does not definitively answer the study's proposed question. It indicates that the 16 KHz high frequency audiometry (HFA) frequency is sensitive in early identification of hearing loss in the control group (medium difference (MD = 8.33)), as well as the 4 KHz frequency (CA), this one being a little less expressive (MD = 5.72). Thus, others studies are necessary to confirm the HFA importance for the early screening of hearing loss on individuals exposed to noise at the workplace.20328128

    A Novel Rework Costing Methodology Applied To a Bus Manufacturing Company

    This paper focuses on the quality costs analysis in the automotive industry, specifically a bus manufacturing company. The main goal was to improve the quality costs indicator, by providing means to evaluate the failure cost within the productive process. Kaizen-lean principles were used as methodology. A quality cost analysis was made based on literature review and in an ISO standard in quality costs. Process analysis was made based on the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle. As the main achievements of this article, the quality costs were identified as well as its sources. Then, by collecting a very significant amount of data, from various departments, regarding each of the identified costs, it was possible to measure these costs and create a database to scorecard them – including rework costs. Due to the lack of rework costs information, a great part of this analysis focused on data collection and estimating/calculating these associated costs. Thus, it was possible to develop associated KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) to support decision making and a graphic indicator to show the overall balance between quality costs and non-quality costs. In this process, some difficulties were found as well as some opportunities for improvement. The critical ones were implemented during this project, while the others are scheduled for future work. In terms of a more technological approach to these studies, some autonomous systems can exist, although it comes at a great cost. However, the 4.0 Industry concept is evolving and fits perfectly in the quality costs monitorization context: an integrated information system with a global data network allows for a quick check-up of all the quality costs, by category, while freeing employees from doing this work manually.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Portuguese oncologists’ practices regarding female fertility preservation: Which barriers most relate to these practices?

    Get PDF
    This study aims to investigate the current practice patterns of Portuguese oncologists with different clinical specialties regarding female fertility preservation (FP) and to determine the relative endorsement of different barriers to these practices. A total of 111 doctors with different clinical specialties assisting female cancer patients of childbearing age at Portuguese clinical institutions completed a self-report questionnaire to assess their current practice patterns regarding female FP and their perceptions of the barriers to these practices. Although the majority of the oncologists reported discussing the reproductive future with their patients, 2.8% and 7.2% of these clinicians reported never informing about the risk of infertility and about FP, respectively, and 75.8% of the participants have referred fewer than ten patients to a reproductive medicine doctor. Time with patients was the strongest endorsed barrier to these practices. A stronger endorsement of the barriers "oncologists' communication skills" and "patient-related factors" was related to a lower frequency of informing about both the risk of cancer-related infertility and about FP. It is important to overcome the intrinsic barriers that emerged as being the most relevant to oncologists' FP practices and that can be modified, namely the lack of communication skills and the oncologists' perceptions of their patients' characteristics
