The causal relationship between energy demand and GDP has been the subject of intense research over the past three decades. The present work seeks to analyze the energy consumption evolution of different countries of the world and the relation of the same with the level of economic development, represented by income. For this purpose, an annual database containing gross domestic product and electricity consumption of 143 countries in the period between 1990 and 2014 was prepared. Thus, linear regression models and autoregressive vector models were used to explain the electricity consumption of countries and groups of countries. The results indicated that there is no standard elasticity behavior for most countries with similar levels of economic development. Despite this, a good performance was observed in the simple linear regression for aggregate data in groups of countries, which indicates the possibility of performing a reliable aggregate planning.
Keywords: Electricity Demand, Energy Consumption, Income, GDP, Elasticity.
A demanda por soluções automatizadas na área de saúde, que incrementem o desempenho, a efetividade e a segurança dos diversos processos associados à assistência ao paciente, tem proporcionado o desenvolvimento de tecnologias-processos, sistemas, dispositivos-a serem utilizadas em unidades de saúde, como os hospitais. O presente artigo aborda os sistemas automatizados de distribuição de medicamentos, seu funcionamento e modo de operação, apresentando um framework representativo da inter-relação de seus principais componentes. Foram estudados alguns casos de sua aplicação e relacionadas algumas das principais vantagens e desvantagens da sua utilização.
