- Proposal of an integrated decision support system for Tuberculosis based on Semantic WebPublication . Lima, Vinícius; Pellison, Felipe; Bernardi, Filipe; Carvalho, Isabelle; Alves, Domingos; Rijo, Rui, Rui Pedro Charters LopesEpidemiological surveillance of Tuberculosis (TB) requires a strong integration of different health services, programs and levels of care. The deepening and broadening of data management techniques must be constantly carried out to increase the integrality of healthcare. Otherwise, knowledge extraction and clinical and administrative decision-making processes are significantly hampered, directly affecting the management and quality of health services. Thus, this work aims to establish a computerized decision support system capable of collecting, integrating and sharing TB health data in Brazilian Unified Public Health System. Also, it will allow the monitoring of infected patients and the visualization of consolidated information of regular TB and its resistant variants for health professionals and managers. The data will be made available from heterogeneous, disconnected and unstructured sources by combining traditional web services, Semantic Web resources and security algorithms. A solid knowledge base applied to epidemiological surveillance, health information governance and clinical support will be enabled to integrate the multiple areas of TB patients care, as well as to support the creation of more accurate operational and diagnostics models
- 3D printed models-based lab activities to enhance learning-teaching processes in Structural Engineering coursesPublication . Celorrio-Barragué, Luis; Calvo-Simón, Sergio; Gaspar, Marcelo; Vidal-Cortés, Mariano; Martín-Ramos, PabloThree-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising tool in Engineering education, as it can facilitate learning, contribute to the development of key skills and competences, increase the engagement and interest of students, and promote their creativity. In this work, a set of laboratory activities aimed at enhancing the learning-teaching experience of sophomore and junior students of engineering degrees related to structures is presented. To improve their understanding and their ability to calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures, the use of 3D printed models is put forward. These printed models can be used as specimens in lab tests and also as visualization objects to improve students' comprehension in lectures. Moreover, they offer interesting advantages in terms of their lower cost, easy manipulation, low weight and short time of production. Five lessons, designed for Strength of Materials and Theory of Structures courses, which cover tensile testing, the analysis of truss and plane frames, bolted and welded joints, and constructive details in reinforced concrete structures are discussed.
