Avaliar o registro dos enfermeiros nos prontuários do paciente eletrônico e convencional, com vista à melhoria da qualidade do cuidado. Estudo descritivo, tipo estudo de caso. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 8 enfermeiros da enfermaria de coronariopatias e a análise dos registros nos dois tipos de prontuários do paciente. Nos 25 prontuários revistos, constatou-se o número de 51 registros, sendo 37 do prontuário eletrônico e 14 do prontuário convencional, média de 31 dias de internação. Atrelou-se a não realização ao número insuficiente de profissionais de enfermagem no setor em comparação à complexidade dos pacientes atendidos. Destaca-se como obstáculo o quantitativo de pessoal da equipe de enfermagem e sua carga de trabalho. Consequentemente, há necessidade de ajustes quantitativo e qualitativo no processo de trabalho relacionados a execução desta e das demais tarefas para que possam ser adequadamente conduzidas.Descritores: Cuidados de Enfermagem, Registros Eletrônicos de Saúde, Carga de trabalho. Nursing records and their implications for the quality of careAbstract: To evaluate nurses' records in the electronic and conventional patient charts, with a view to improving the quality of care. Descriptive study, case study type. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 8 nurses from the coronary artery disease ward and the analysis of the records in the two types of patient records. In the 25 revised records, the number of 51 records was verified, being 37 of the electronic records and 14 of the conventional medical records, average of 31 days of hospitalization. There was a lack of achievement of the insufficient number of nursing professionals in the sector compared to the complexity of the patients attended. The number of nursing staff and their workload stands out as an obstacle. Consequently, there is a need for quantitative and qualitative adjustments in the work process related to the execution of this and other tasks so that they can be properly conducted.Descriptors: Nursing Care, Eletronic Health Records, Workload. Registros de enfermería y sus implicaciones para la calidad de la atenciónResumen: Evaluar el registro de los enfermeros en los prontuarios del paciente electrónico y convencional, con objetivo la mejora de la calidad del cuidado.

Abstract. Environmental modelling is complex, and models often require the calibration of several parameters that are not directly evaluable from a physical quantity or a field measurement. The R package caRamel has been designed to easily implement a multi-objective optimizer in the R environment to calibrate these parameters. A multiobjective calibration allows to find a compromise between different goals by defining a set of optimal parameters. The algorithm is a hybrid of the Multiobjective Evolutionary Annealing Simplex method (MEAS) and the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (ε-NSGA-II algorithm). The optimizer was initially developed for the calibration of hydrological models but can be used for any environmental model. The main function of the package, caRamel(), requires to define a multi-objective calibration function as well as bounds on the variation of the underlying parameters to optimize. CaRamel is well adapted to complex modelling. As an example, caRamel converges quickly and has a stable solution after 5,000 model evaluations with robust results for a real study case of a hydrological problem with 8 parameters and 3 objectives of calibration. The comparison with another well-known optimizer (i.e. MCO, for Multiple Criteria Optimization) confirms the quality of the algorithm.

<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Tracking and Chromakey as Visual Effect Design Technique (Study Case: Video Clip Visual Effect. Visual effect in audio visual media and animation is commonly use, especially chromakey technique or usually described as green screen or blue screen, a certain color element to acknowledge the alpha channel. In compositing technique, the using of tracking and chromakey technique are both known as visual effect technique. But on online editing works, the result seldom not at its best. This problem is usually occurred from early production process until the final process in the process of video making. The quality of final result based on early raw footage used. The objective of this research is to know the technical factors to achieve better method appliance in order to enhance the quality of final result. The study case is video clip that has short duration, more variative and has natural compositing result. The literature studies of software and user approached is the method use to analyses the problem. The result of this research is the understanding of tracking and chromakey method in video clip making process to achieve the visual effect needed. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Abstrak</strong></p><p>Tracking dan Chromakey Sebagai Elemen Teknik Desain Efek Visual (Studi Kasus: Efek Visual Video Klip). Efek visual dalam media audio visual maupun animasi sudah sangat lazim digunakan, khususnya penggunaan teknik chromakey atau yang lebih umum disebut green screen atau blue screen, yaitu penggunaan elemen warna tertentu untuk menentukan alpha channel. Dalam lingkup teknik compositing, penggunaan teknik tracking dan chromakey ini dapat digolongkan sebagai teknik efek visual. Dalam pengerjaan online editing, hasil akhir terkadang terasa kurang maksimal apabila ditinjau dari hasil kedua teknik ini. Hal ini dapat diartikan adanya permasalahan yang selalu terkait dengan pengolahan produksi awal sampai akhir dalam pengerjaan sebuah video. Kualitas hasil akhir akan ditentukan dari raw footage awal yang akan digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor teknis yang ada, sehingga lebih baik dalam penggunaan metode yang dilakukan serta akan meningkatkan kualitas hasil akhir. Sebagai studi kasus adalah video klip dengan mempertimbangkan durasi yang tidak lama, lebih variatif dan mengarah dalam pendekatan hasil compositing yang natural. Selain itu metode studi literatur tentang perangkat lunak juga dilakukan, sehingga pendekatan metode dan pola pikir pengguna perangkat lunak lebih memahami dalam melakukan kedua proses ini. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah pemahaman terhadap metode tracking dan chromakey dalam pembuatan video klip untuk menghasilkan efek visual yang dibutuhkan.

Abstract: The geoid is an equipotential surface regarded as the altimetric reference for geodetic surveys and it therefore, has several practical applications for engineers. In recent decades the geodetic community has concentrated efforts on the development of highly accurate geoid models through modern techniques. These models are supplied through regular grids which users need to make interpolations. Yet, little information can be obtained regarding the most appropriate interpolation method to extract information from the regular grid of geoidal models. The use of an interpolator that does not represent the geoid surface appropriately can impair the quality of geoid undulations and consequently the height transformation. This work aims to quantify the magnitude of error that comes from a regular mesh of geoid models. The analysis consisted of performing a comparison between the interpolation of the MAPGEO2015 program and three interpolation methods: bilinear, cubic spline and neural networks Radial Basis Function. As a result of the experiments, it was concluded that 2.5 cm of the 18 cm error of the MAPGEO2015 validation is caused by the use of interpolations in the 5'x5' grid.
