A decision support system for the management of smart mobility services

Master Dissertation (Master Degree in Engineering and Management of Information Systems)Nos dias que correm, a mobilidade assume especial importância no quotidiano das áreas metropolitanas em crescimento no país. . Com o notório crescimento das cidades, torna-se necessária e urgente uma transformação dos costumes e formas de mobilidade dentro das áreas urbanas, alterando as realidades aparentes que hoje conhecemos. Inseridos numa sociedade cada vez mais consciencializada e alerta para as questões ambientais, é essencial transportar esta mentalidade renovada para a resolução das problemáticas citadinas. Assim, o conceito de “Cidade Verde” levanta uma série de questões que exigem uma resposta eficaz para o bem-estar dos seus habitantes. Por entre as várias soluções apresentadas para estas patologias, uma das mais promissoras é, sem dúvida, o sistema de mobilidade partilhada. Pela sua dimensão, é pertinente expor o caso prático da cidade de Barcelona, em Espanha, explorando o seu sistema de partilha de scooters, um meio que adquire especial importância como meio de transporte urbano. Como qualquer sistema em constante aprimoramento, procura-se uma solução para a problemática da variação de procura, que apresenta oscilações constantes, tanto a nível temporal como geográfico, resultando na falta de veículos em algumas áreas e excesso noutras. Assim sendo, o rebalanceamento do sistema torna-se crucial para uma possível maximização na utilização de veículos, satisfazendo a procura e potenciando um aumento da sua utilização. No correr desta dissertação, foram estudados e utilizados vários métodos de otimização moderna (metaheurísticas) para a procura de soluções (sub)ótimas para o(s) percurso(s) a percorrer pelo(s) veículo(s) que executam a redistribuição das scooter/bicicletas pelas diversas áreas abrangidas pelo sistema de partilha. Deste modo, foi desenvolvido um sistema de apoio à decisão para satisfazer estas necessidades, garantindo ao utilizador toda a informação relevante para um trabalho mais eficiente e preciso.Nowadays, mobility is especially important in the daily life of the country growing metropolitan areas. With the increasing influx of people and development of these large cities, the reality of mobility that we know becomes increasingly unsustainable. Along with mobility, the environmental concerns are one of the main topics of discussion worldwide and the population is starting to act and change the way they live to find a more “green” and sustainable way of doing it. Several proposals have been put forward, trying to mitigate this issue and, one of the most promising is, undoubtedly, shared mobility systems. In this case study will be addressed the Barcelona scooter sharing system, characterized by its great size and importance as a mean of urban transport. One of the problems presented by these sharing services is that demand varies widely, both temporal and geographical. Thus, there are several cases where there is a lack of vehicles in some areas and an excess in others. The rebalancing of the system is crucial to maximize vehicle utilization and meet customer demand. In this thesis, several modern optimization methods (metaheuristics) were used to search for (sub)optimal solutions for the redistribution route(s). A decision support system was developed to meet this end, giving the end user relevant information for a more efficient and precise work

A PRÁTICA DA EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE NA ESTRATÉGIA SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA.

Objective: To discuss the practice of health education in the family health strategy through the existing literature. Methods: This is a qualitative integrative literature review. The search for works involved in the research was carried out in the following databases: SCIELO, LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE, using the descriptors in health sciences: "Primary health care", "Health education" and "Public health". The inclusion criteria were: published between 2013 and 2023, with free access to full texts, articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish and related to the theme. Exclusion criteria were: duplicate articles, incomplete articles, abstracts, reviews, debates, articles published in event proceedings and unavailable in full. Results: In the ESF, health education is based on a collective construction based on the work of a multidisciplinary and intersectoral team, which aims for comprehensive and humanized care, seeking to empower the patient to autonomy in care and in prevention and health promotion practices. Conclusion: It can be concluded that primary care is the population's main point of access to health education activities under the SUS, and it is therefore important to emphasize that these activities are aimed at promoting and preventing the population's health.Objetivo: Discutir por meio da literatura existente acerca da prática da educação em saúde na estratégia saúde da família.

Resultados: Na ESF a educação em saúde se baseia numa construção coletiva com embasamento no trabalho de uma equipe multidisciplinar e intersetorial, que visa um atendimento integral e humanizado, buscando-se empoderar o paciente a autonomia do cuidado e nas práticas de prevenção e promoção da saúde. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a atenção primária é o principal ponto de acesso da população as atividades de educação em saúde pelo SUS, diante disso é importante destacar que essas atividades visam a promoção e prevenção da saúde da população

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008).

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories.

Strategies to become an excellent professional in the burnout society: From method to emotional balance

This manuscript discusses some methodologies for achieving professional practice in the 21st century. Whether in the medical, pharmacological, educational, environmental or even technological areas, we have seen that Professionalization has been effective for the formation and respect for plural identities. In this sense, the objective of this paper is to discuss Strategies to become an excellent professional in the burnout society (CHUL-HAN, 2019), in which we start from the method to emotional balance as support. During the structuring and functionality of the subject, it is necessary to recognize its limitations and performance, hence the need to systematize the evidence on the implications and benefits of professionalization, given the entire configuration of its implementation in Brazil. This is a bibliographical and documental research, of an interpretative qualitative nature. With regard to the conditions for the effectiveness of a good professional performance, a mapping of verification of the subjects\u27 practice becomes effective, in which institutional actions arising from/funded by educational policies that are linked to reports and to the researches. Our results pointed to the fact that many criteria need to be rethought and put into practice, including reformulations about leisure and personal satisfaction in the midst of the hyper-demanding of modern times
