“…Otherwise, rigidity to a specific level of the health care will limit its impact on general health systems, greatly diminish its acceptability and face oppositions to its institutionalisation. Therefore HIS must be have the capacity to be either scaled up (to national) or down (to local) according to the health information hierarchy of needs (for more discussion, see: Bergqvist et al 2006, Braa et al 2004, Mengiste and Nielsen 2006, Sahay and Walsham 2006)…”

This article attempts to elucidate the intricacies of primary health care delivery in Nigeria. Among myriad complexities, the central proposition made herein is that the absence of an effective regulatory and enforcement framework in developing countries results in a prominent informal decision space. The findings show that the prominence of an informal decision space compromises the objectives of an information-based public health system. The article concludes that decentralisation in developing countries must have a coordinated top-down and bottom-up development component for it to be effective in improving the performance of primary health systems. One of the implications of the study is that researching decentralised healthcare delivery requires analytical models which are able to illuminate the complexities of local accountability in developing countries. The study also reveals the need to further research the dynamics of democratic decentralisation in developing countries as this goes beyond administrative structures but involve socio-cultural institutions.

“…Como reuniões informais não têm estrutura definida, construir uma forma eficiente para acessar a informação pode ser difícil. Bergqvist et al (1999) definem reuniões móveis como aquelas que podem ocorrer em qualquer lugar, a qualquer hora, fora das salas de reuniões. Este cenário dificulta a condução de uma reunião da maneira tradicional.…”

“…Reuniões informais são encontros não planejados entre dois ou mais indivíduos que possuem algum tipo de relacionamento -são colegas de trabalho ou orientador e orientando; ou alguma área de interesse em comum, na qual ocorre a troca de informações relevantes ou decisões são tomadas. Em outras palavras, reuniões informais são reuniões que acontecem de maneira espontânea, em qualquer horário e em qualquer lugar (BERGQVIST et al, 1999).…”

MAM - Media Assembly Model

Video and digital stories are important and empowering contemporaneous means of expression. However, the authorship of digital stories or any audiovisual content, specially when considering multimedia presentation, requires technical knowledge which may hinder the authorship by end-users. The literature presents works that aim to ease the explicit authorship of multimedia presentation by means of declarative languages, frameworks, and tools. Other works propose the implicit authorship using the Ubiquitous Computing paradigm of Capture & Access. The first situation may be not appropriate for highly-interactive application and lacks the features of manipulate individual medias, and the later may not be able to produce the user's desired result because of its implicit authorship. In this thesis it is proposed, presented and formalized the Media Assembly Model (MAM) and its companion language, the Media Assembly Language (MAL). Using MAM a user can alter media properties and combine different medias in order to produce new monomedia or create interactive multimedia presentation.
