Objective: to describe the participatory process of building a prototype to support the development of an information management system for notification, investigation and monitoring of health incidents. Method: a methodological research study on technology development, carried out in two stages: 1) documentary analysis of primary and secondary sources related to forms and legislation on incident notification systems, from September to October 2018; 2) deliberative dialog in two sessions, with 12 managers and coordinators of the Quality and Patient Safety Center of public hospitals in the Federal District, held in November 2018. In the deliberative session there was a presentation of the prototype and discussion of its applicability and functionality for the development of an information system for risk management in the health services. Results: creation and prototyping of a tool with 4 (four) screens representing the systematic flow of data. Screen 1: Simplified notification for patients and companions. Screen 2: Notification for the health professional. Screen 3: Investigation of the event and action plan. Screen 4: Intervention and monitoring by means of indicators. Conclusion: this is a tool capable of integrating actions to reduce the occurrence of incidents based on the identification and timely intervention on the risk factors. It can be used as a facilitating basis for the development or improvement of new instruments for risk management in the health services.
Objective: We have analyzed Brazil’s initial COVID-19 combat actions by the regional innovation ecosystem actors.Methodology/approach: This is a descriptive and qualitative study using documentary research. In total, 471 reports collected via web scraping were submitted to content analysis (using a codebook and intercoder test) and correspondence analysis.Originality/relevance: From an innovation ecosystem perspective, this study fulfills an identified need to understand how different actors have proposed initial solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering different geographic regions.Main results: According to the seminal literature, in the more economically and socially favored regions, the government-industry dyadic model was corroborated, while in the less favored regions, the most innovative actors were universities and society. Our results have not shown the quintuple helix’s performance, which leads us to ponder the use of this model in crises. Furthermore, although the quadruple helix model was observed in our analyses, in the Brazilian geographic regions the helices were not designed in a transversal way.Theoretical contributions: We propose that the geography of a pandemic combat occurs unevenly by the innovation ecosystem actors. Moreover, the helices ordering refers to the theoretical development process and not to the complementarity of the role between actors.Practical implications: This article highlights the need for integrated management of the innovation ecosystem’s initial actions in a pandemic, preventing regions from being neglected, especially those with lower levels of wealth or quality of life.
PurposeThis study aims to empirically investigate how an industrial region has reacted to different shocks – competitive, market and environmental – through its economic subsystems – its firms, workers and institutions – in a longitudinal perspective for the period 1985–2021.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a mixed-method approach applied to a case study of the Brazilian T&C industrial region. The authors used two data sources and two stages for data collection. The first stage involved documentary research and the second in-depth interviews. The analysis of qualitative data took place in two stages. In the first, the authors applied content analysis, and in the second stage, the authors used the exploratory statistical technique of simple correspondence analysis and the categorical data.FindingsThe results provide evidence that different types of shock provoke different reactions. However, the shock–reaction relationship is invariable over time. The authors observed proportionality in the size of the shock and the regional actors involved in the regional response – firms, workers and institutions.Originality/valueThe authors went a step further, presenting empirical research on the shock–reaction relationship using the “type of shock” as a variable. This paper provides a holistic understanding of the factors behind regional resilience through insights into the role that resources, structures, institutions and actors play in the regional response to distinct types of shocks, reaching four main conclusions.
Resumo -O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a representação da variabilidade temporal da vazão média mensal de um trecho da bacia do rio Pardo -SP, cujo posto fluviométrico é mantido pelo Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica do estado de São Paulo (DAEE), localizado no município de Águas de Santa Barbara -SP. O período analisado compreende 25 anos, entre 1988 e 2013. Foram utilizadas técnicas geoestatísticas para analisar a dependência temporal entre os dados. O modelo variográfico teórico que melhor se ajustou ao variograma experimental foi o modelo esférico, o qual indicou uma alta dependência temporal entre os dados. A interpolação por krigagem permitiu a representação gráfica da distribuição das vazões médias mensais, o que possibilitou a visualização dos padrões temporais da vazão. Palavras-chave: vazões médias, variograma, krigagem. TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF THE MONTHLY AVERAGE RIVERFLOW IN A PART OF AREA OF THE RIVER PARDO WATERSHED, SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL.Abstract -This study aimed to represent of the temporal variability of the average monthly flow of the river Pardo watershed, whose gaging station is maintained by the Department of Water and Electricity of São Paulo state (DAEE) and is located in Aguas de Santa Barbara county. The reporting period comprises 25 years, from 1988 to 2013.Geostatistical techniques were used to analyze the time dependence of the data. The theoretical variogram model that best fit the experimental variogram is the spherical model, which indicated a high dependency of temporal data. The kriging interpolation allowed the graphical representation of the monthly average river flow rates, enabling the visualization of temporal flow patterns. Key words: average flow rates, variogram, krigingIntrodução O conhecimento do comportamento de variáveis hidrológicas, como a precipitação pluviométrica, evapotranspiração e vazão, é de suma importância para a caracterização de bacias hidrográficas, bem como para o planejamento de atividades ligadas à engenharia, como obras de infraestrutura, dimensionamento de obras hidráulicas, uso dos recursos hídricos para abastecimento urbano, industrial e agrícola.A vazão dos rios representa a resposta da bacia aos eventos de precipitação, onde será reflexo da interação entre a água da chuva com os parâmetros físicos da bacia, como forma e padrões de drenagem, tipos de solos e formações geológicas, bem como da cobertura do solo (LIMA, 2008).As técnicas de geoestatística permitem o estudo dos padrões de distribuição de variáveis ambientais, como a precipitação (MELLO; VIOLA, 2013), conteúdo de água na bacia hidrográfica (LESSA et al., 2012), gerando resultados espacialmente e/ou temporalmente (SARTORI et al., 2010) distribuídos.Nesse contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo a representação da variabilidade temporal da vazão média mensal de um trecho da bacia do rio Pardo.
