Risk assessment of accidental oil release in a coastal region: the são paulo case study

AbstractInfant mortality is a reflection of a complex combination of biological, socioeconomic and health care factors that require various data sources for a thorough analysis. Consequently, the use of specialized tools and techniques to deal with a large volume of data is extremely helpful. Machine learning has been applied to solve problems from many domains and presents great potential for the proposed problem, which would be an innovation in Brazilian reality. In this paper, an innovative method is proposed to perform a neonatal death risk assessment using computer vision techniques. Using mother, pregnancy care and child at birth features, from a dataset containing neonatal samples from São Paulo city public health data, the proposed method encodes images features and uses a custom convolutional neural network architecture to classification. Experiments show that the method is able to detect death samples with accuracy of 90.61%.

Abstract. This study presents a methodology for susceptibility mapping of shallow landslides just from data and software from the public domain. The study was conducted in a mountainous region located on the southeastern Brazilian coast, in the state of São Paulo. The proposal is that the methodology can be replicated in a practical and reliable way in several other municipalities that do not have such mappings and that often suffer from landslide-related disasters. The susceptibility mapping was generated based on the following maps: geological, soils, slope, horizontal and vertical curvatures, and land use. The thematic classes of these maps were weighted according to technical and scientific criteria related to the triggering of landslides, and were crossed by the fuzzy gamma technique. The mapping was compared with the risk sector survey made by the Brazilian Geological Survey (CPRM), which is the official database used by municipalities and civil defense in risk management. The results showed positive correlations, so that the critical risk sectors had higher proportions for the more susceptible classes. To compare the approach with other studies using landslide-scar maps, correlated indices were evaluated, which also showed satisfactory results, thus indicating that the methodology presented is appropriate for risk assessment in urban areas.

No atual ambiente competitivo é imperativo que as empresas busquem a contínua satisfação dos consumidores, a fim de atingir a fidelização. Diante da importância da satisfação para as empresas, este estudo analisa o grau de satisfação e propõe melhorias contínuas para um restaurante no interior de São Paulo. Para isso, aplicou-se o Método de Análise e Solução de Problemas – MASP, juntamente com um questionário para identificação do nível de satisfação dos consumidores. Os resultados indicaram que o atendimento foi o fator de insatisfação dos consumidores. Diante disso, foi elaborado um plano de ação que resultou na programação de um aplicativo e treinamentos aos funcionários, com o objetivo de melhorar o atendimento e obter melhores resultados.
