Kline, James Jeffrey. "Star Academics: Do They Garner Increasing Returns?" PDXScholar, 2016. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/2713.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines the criteria which help academics receive National Institute of Health funds (NIH). The study covers 3,092 NIH recipients and non-recipients in the same department or institute at twenty-four universities. The universities are drawn from those below the top twenty in terms of receipt of NIH funds. With regards to performance, non- recipients have lower performance than recipients. A key determinant of the receipt of NIH funds is individual performance, as measured by the number of articles published and average citations per article in the two years immediately prior to the grant application. Professors receive more NIH money than do associates and assistant professors. Other positive contributors are the field of study, whether the academic has both a PhD. and Medical degree, and has licensed an innovation, been involved in the start of a new business and patented an invention through the university. To the extent that individual performance criteria represent the quality of the research proposal, allocation of NIH funds is based on merit.
A Tobit model indicates that being highly cited does not guarantee increasing returns. Likewise, career citations have only a small statistically significant impact. In addition, a negative coefficient associated with the second derivatives of both articles published in 2006-07 and their associated citations indicate diminishing marginal returns.

Full textAbstract:
Liikennevalot ovat keskeinen osa liikenneverkon toiminnallisuutta. Tällä hetkellä liikennevalojen liikenneteknisen toiminnan seurantaan ei ole olemassa erityisen hyviä laajoja alueita käsittäviä ja pitkäaikaiseen seurantaan soveltuvia työkaluja tai automatisoituja toimintoja. Liikennevalotietoja välittävä Dynniq:n kehittämä Traffic Flow Garner (TFG) -rajapinta antaa aivan uuden mahdollisuuden liikennevaloliittymien seurantaan. Sen välittämä yksityiskohtainen reaaliaikatieto sisältää opastinryhmien ja ilmaisimien tilatiedot sekä konfiguraatiotiedot, joista voidaan laskea useita sekä liikennevalojen että liikenteen toimivuuden tunnuslukuja. Tässä työssä tutkittiin liikenneteknisten tunnuslukujen laskentaa TFG-rajapinnan välittämästä tiedosta. Tarkempaan tarkasteluun valittiin kaksi Oulussa sijaitsevaa liikennevaloliittymää, joista toista tarkkailtiin myös maastossa. TFG-rajapinnan datasta laskettuja tunnuslukuja verrattiin maastossa havaittuun liikennetilanteeseen. Työssä tutkittiin seuraavia liikenneteknisiä tunnuslukuja: - Liikennemäärät - Ilmaisimen varausaste ja yhtäjaksoinen varausaika - Jonopituus - Maksimiodotusaika jonossa kiertoina (hetkellinen tarjonnan ja kysynnän suhde) - Kuormitusaste - Ohjausviive - Palvelutaso - Poistuminen läsnäoloilmaisimelta punaisen aikana - Vihreällä saapuvat ja liittymän läpäisevät ajoneuvot - Vihreän loppuminen kesken - Turha vihreä aika Rajapinnasta lasketut tunnusluvut vastasivat todellista liikennetilannetta hyvin. Kaistan ominaisvälityskyky vaikuttaa kuitenkin voimakkaasti useiden tunnuslukujen laskentaan. Se arvioitiin kaistoittain kaistatyypin mukaan aikaisempien tutkimusten perusteella. Kun kaistalla ei ollut väistettävää suojatietä, oli ominaisvälityskyvyn arviointi helpompaa ja tulokset parempia. Esimerkiksi minuuttikohtainen maksimijonopituus vastasi maastossa havaittua jonopituutta tällöin hyvin. Maksimijonopituus ei vastannut yhtä hyvin todellista, kun kaistalla oli väistettävä suojatie. Se oli kuitenkin oikeassa enimmäkseen oikeassa suuruusluokassa. Parhaiten hetkellistä toimivuutta kuvasivat jonopituus ja siitä johdettu maksimiodotusaika jonossa. Ne kuvaavat hyvin tienkäyttäjän kokemusta liikennetilanteesta ja liittymän toimivuudesta. 15 minuutin ja sitä pidempien tarkastelujaksojen toimivuutta kuvasivat parhaiten kuormitusaste, ohjausviive ja palvelutaso. Muiden tunnuslukujen avulla voidaan arvioida mm. vihreän aallon toimivuutta, vihreän pituuden riittävyyttä ja turhaa vihreää aikaa. Työssä määritettiin myös laskettujen tunnuslukujen tallentamista tietokantaan ja liikenneteknisen seurantajärjestelmän käyttöliittymän ominaisuuksia. Työn tulosten pohjalta on tarkoitus toteuttaa liikennevalojen liikennetekninen seurantajärjestelmä. Reaaliaikaisen liikenneteknisen seurannan myötä liikenteestä saadaan kattavaa laskennallista tietoa pistemäisten tai subjektiivisten havaintojen sijaan. Sen myötä muutokset liikennevalojen ohjauksessa perustuvat selvästi luotettavampaan näkemykseen liikenneverkon tilasta. Tienpitäjä voi laskettujen tunnuslukujen perusteella parantaa liikennevalojen ylläpidon tasoa ja myös todeta muutosten vaikutuksen. Lisäksi seurannassa voi olla automaattisia hälytyksiä poikkeuksellisista tilanteista, joiden havaitseminen muutoin olisi vaikeaa tai mahdotonta. Reaaliaikainen liikennetekninen seuranta mahdollistaa myös liikenteen reaaliaikaisen tilannekuvan tienpitäjälle ja sovellusten kautta myös suoraan tienkäyttäjälleTraffic signals are an essential part of the functionality of the traffic network. At the moment there are no especially good tools or automated functions for monitoring the performance of traffic signals in wide areas and for long periods of time. Traffic Flow Garner (TFG) is an interface developed by Dynniq that transmits traffic signal data. It gives a new opportunity to monitor signalled intersections. Its real time data includes the status of signal groups and detectors and configuration data of the intersection. Several performance measures of traffic signals and traffic can be calculated from the data. Calculation of performance measures was studied from the data transmitted by the TFG interface. Two signalled intersections in Oulu were chosen for closer examination. One of them was also monitored at the location. Performance measures calculated from the TFG data were compared with the observed situation at the location. The following performance measures were studied in this thesis: - Traffic volumes - Proportion of detector occupancy and continuous occupancy time - Queue length - Maximum waiting time in queue in cycles (the momentary relation of a supply and demand) - Volume to capacity ratio - Control delay - Level of service - Driving away from the presence of the stop bar detector during red - Proportion of vehicles that arrive and leave the intersection during green - Green ending too early - Unnecessary green time The calculated performance measures corresponded well to the perceived traffic situation. However, the saturation flow rate of the lane affects the calculation of several measures strongly. It was estimated according to the lane type based on earlier studies. When there was no pedestrian crossing to be yielded, estimation of the saturation flow rate was easier and the results were better. Then, for example, the maximum queue length per minute corresponded well to the queue length that was perceived at the location. The maximum queue length did not correspond equally well to the perceived when there was a pedestrian crossing had to be yielded. However, it was mostly in the correct order. Momentary performance was best described by queue length and maximum wait time in queue. They describe well how a road user experiences the traffic situation and performance of the intersection. Performance of periods of 15 minutes and longer was best described by volume to capacity ratio, control delay and level of service. Other measures may be used to estimate, among others, the functionality of the green wave, the adequacy of the green time and unnecessary green time. Properties of storing the calculated measures into a database and properties of the user interface of the traffic performance monitoring system were specified. A performance monitoring system of traffic signals is intended to be implemented based on the results of this thesis. With real-time performance monitoring of traffic signals comprehensive computational information could be obtained instead of spotty or subjective observations about the traffic. Thanks to it changes in programming of traffic signals could be based on a distinctly more reliable view on the state of the traffic network. The road administrator could improve the level of the maintenance of traffic signals based on the calculated measures. It is also possible to observe the effects of changes in programming. Furthermore, automatic alarms could be used for exceptional situations that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to notice. Real-time monitoring enables the road administrator and, through applications, road users to have real-time understanding about the traffic situation

Full textAbstract:
Le site de Garner Valley, Californie, est un site dont l’instrumentation est sismique, géotechnique et structurelle. Les enregistrements effectués sur la structure test du site permettent d’étudier l’interaction sol-structure. Il s’agit du phénomène qui différencie la réponse d’une structure réelle – reposant sur un sol flexible – et celle de la structure où la fondation est idéalisée comme rigide et reposant sur un sol également rigide. Dans le but de mettre en œuvre l’analyse de l’interaction sol-structure sur le site de Garner Valley via la méthode des sous-structures, les paramètres géotechniques nécessaires à la constitution de la fonction d’impédance de la fondation sont étudiés par analyse paramétrique de la réponse d’une colonne de sol uni-axiale par modèle linéaire équivalent à partir des données sismiques et géotechniques de terrain. La réduction de module de cisaillement G/Gmax et l’amortissement hystérétique du sol βs ainsi trouvés permettent en association aux données géométriques et géotechniques de constituer les équations des ressorts et amortisseurs qui sont utilisés en fonction d’impédance pour la constitution du modèle d’analyse par méthode des sous-structures. La taille réduite de la fondation permet l’hypothèse d’absence de rotation et torsion. Les ressorts sont alors implantés verticalement et horizontalement. L’analyse de l’interaction cinématique est effectuée : malgré la taille réduite de la fondation et les différences mineures entre Free Field Motion et Foundation Input Motion, les effets sont notoires avec une baisse de l’accélération maximale de la structure. La baisse majeure de l’accélération maximale de la structure calculée en prenant compte l’interaction sol-structure correspond aux données de terrain. Les effets typiques de l’interaction inertielle - allongement de la période et augmentation de l’amortissement - sont par ailleurs observés et comparés à des résultats théoriques.The Garner Valley site in California is a seismic, geotechnical and structural instrumented site. The structural recordings on the test structure provides data for soil-structure interaction studies. Soil structure interaction is the phenomenon that differentiate the response of a structure based on an perfectly rigid foundation within a perfectly rigid soil, from the response of a structure in reality. In order to analyse soil-structure interaction effects on the Garner Valley test structure, using the substructure analysis method, geotechnical and structural parameters which are necessary for the constitution of the foundation impedance function are analysed by a dynamic parametric analysis of the soil column under seismic load, using uniaxial linear equivalent model, from seismic and geotechnical in-situ data. The shear modulus reduction and hysteretic damping of the soil are therefore found and can be used in combination with geometrical and geotechnical data to calculate the springs and dashpots equations, used as solutions for the foundation impedance function needed in the substructure approach. The small size of the foundation at Garner Valley allows the non-rotational and non-torsional foundation hypothesis. Springs and dashpots are then implemented in addition of the fixed base model, horizontally and vertically. Kinematic interaction is also studied, even though the foundation size is small and the difference between foundation input motion and free field motion are minimal, the use of foundation input motion as input reduces maximum acceleration on top of the structure. This reduction matches the in-situ levels of maximum acceleration when the foundation is flexible, using springs and dashpots. The results of inertial interaction, period lengthening and damping increase, are also noticed, and compared to theoretical results.

Full textAbstract:
George Frederick Bodley became Sir Gilbert Scott's first articled pupil in 1843, when he was sixteen. In 1854 he began his own practice, and later took into partnership another of Scott's former pupils, Thomas Garner (1839-1906). The partnership continued until 1898, after which both men continued separate practices for the rest of their lives. Bodley began his practice at a time when the Early Middle Pointed of Pugin was giving way to High Victorian Gothic. A sympathy for Tractarianism, and the influence of Ecclesiology introduced him to generous High Church patrons from the outset. Bodley initiated a swing away from continental idioms, towards a return to English Gothic of the Decorated period. This change of direction marked a lasting influence of the architect on the course of the Gothic Revival. An analysis of colour decoration in Bodley's churches, reveals his crucial contribution to the ascendant movement of painted stencil-patterns over the earlier phase of consructional polychromy. The relationship between Bodley and the firms of craftsmen which he helped to found, such as Watts & Co., reveals the architect's determination to evolve a position of complete personal control over the decoration of a building. The churches at Pendlebury, Hoar Cross, and Clumber remain the masterpieces of the partnership, and display the supremacy of private patronage in its middle years. With the agricultural depression, attention was turned to the building of new town churches, and city Mission churches. The process of 'refinement' is a strong feature of these later buildings. The early phase of the 'Queen Anne' movement, and the revival of interest in the Elizabethan period in mid-Victorian architecture, was well represented by the partners' domestic buildings. Bodley and Garner's adoption of the more sensitive repair-rather-than-replacement concept for church restorations was influential. An account of Garner's late years designing for the Roman Catholic Church displays his archaeologically correct approach to the Gothic Revival which differentiates his final work from that of Bodley. The Choir at Downside provides an example of Garner's traditional manner, whilst Bodley's contemporary churches express his search for a less formal interpretation of the Gothic idiom.

Full textAbstract:
In the wake of Eric Garner’s 2014 public execution at the hands of NYPD officers, online spaces such as Twitter saw an influx of remediated imagery referencing Ramsey Orta’s bystander cell phone video of Garner’s death. These images often explicitly reference the chokehold that killed Garner and/or they reappropriate Garner’s last words: “I can’t breathe.” To what formal dimensions in Orta’s video are these remediated images responding? What broader cultural work is the creation of these images doing?
In this project, I regard Orta’s video as the point of entry for considering the cultural work of remediating images from it, as understanding its formal dimensions are necessary to recognizing the ways in which the remediated images attend to Garner’s body. I read this video using Scott Richmond’s revision of Christian Metz’s theory of cinematic identification to identify the concerning and compelling tension between over and under-identifying with onscreen subjects in Orta’s video, ultimately asserting that aligning with any body onscreen is ultimately a choice. Further, the remediated images attending to Garner’s body signal viewer’s chosen alignment with him or Orta, and claim Garner’s death as a socially constructed cultural trauma. These claims not only signal collective identification around the trauma on behalf of those who did not initially witness it, but also express belief in Garner’s experience despite a public discourse that continually emphasized his (and other black men’s) perceived violent potential.

Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary study critically revisits the Australian print media???s engagement with Helen Garner???s controversial work of ???non-fiction???, The First Stone (1995). Print news media engagement with the book, marked by intense discursive contestation over feminism, has been constituted both by feminists and other critics as a significant cultural signpost. However, the highly visible print media event following the book???s publication raised a plethora of critical questions and dilemmas that remain unsatisfactorily addressed. Building upon John Fiske???s work on media events as sites of maximum visibility and discursive turbulence (Fiske: 1996), this study re-theorises the public dialogue following The First Stone???s publication in terms of four constitutive elements: narrative, celebrity, audience, and history and conflict. Through an analysis of these four diverse yet interconnected aspects of the media event, I create a critical space not only for its limitations to emerge but also the frequently overlooked possibilities it offers in terms of the wider feminism and print media culture relationship. As part of its central aim to refigure The First Stone media event, this thesis argues against prior characterisations of the debate as constitutive of either a monologic articulation of conservative, antifeminist voices or an unmitigated attack on its author by a homogenous feminism. In particular, I use this media event as indicative of the sophistication and complexity of media engagement with contemporary feminism, despite both continued derision and overly simplistic celebration of this relationship. Texts subject to analysis here include: The First Stone, various ???mainstream??? media representations and self-representations of three ???celebrity feminists??? (Helen Garner, Anne Summers and Jenna Mead), letters to the editor of newspapers and magazines, ???popular??? feminist books by Kathy Bail and Virginia Trioli, and a number of media texts in which those claiming a feminist subject position and those sympathetic to feminism act as either news sources or columnists/commentators. Although Garner???s narrative is throughout identified to be deeply problematic, I argue that the media event it precipitated provides valuable insights into both the opportunities and the constraints of the print media-feminism nexus in 1990s Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning I denna rapporten har en innovativ metod framtagits för att tillvarata textilt avfall. Fokus för projektet har legat mycket på praktiska framställningen. Fibrer som inte är spinnbara och inte längre har någon valutavärde återupplivas och får ett nytt liv. Istället för att slänga textilier till förbränning har det i arbetet presenteras en ny metod genom nonwoven som bidrar till återanvändning och materialåtervinning av textilier. Fler fördelar för metoden är att det går fort, det är billigt och återvunna material används. Konceptet är att producera ospunnet garn från nonwoven för att slutligen använda dessa i mattor som applikationsområde. Produktionen av nonwovengarn är en ny idé som behöver bli testad för att bestämma produktionsparametrarna för optimala garner. Praktiska framtagningen genomgår processerna, öppning, kardning, sträckning, mekanisk nålning, termisk värmning, tillskärning av garn och vävning. Vid start av projektet testades produktion av nonwovens genom olika metoder för 50/50 bomull/polyester, med enbart mekanisk nålning, med bara termisk värmning och en kombination av mekaniskt och termisk. Resultatet för att erhålla bästa kvalité för nonwovengarn var genom att använda sig av både nålning för att producera nonwovenremsor och värmning för att göra strukturen mer sammanhållen. Det innebär att bindningsmaterial kommer bli en betydande faktor. För att undersöka de mekaniska egenskaperna för procentuella bindningsmaterialets effekt producerades nonwovenremsor i 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 bomull/polyester. Vid värmning användes temperatur i 170 ºC i 10 min, 170 ºC i 5 min och 160 ºC i 10 min. Produktion av 9 olika garntyper för att vid dragprovning analysera vilka parametrar som passar bäst till slutgiltiga garnet. Från testet visade graferna för brott och brott/tex ett tydligt svar, blandningen 50/50 bomull/polyester med termisk värmning 170 ºC i 5 min ger bäst resultat i de mekaniska egenskaperna. Slutligen producerades garner utifrån parametrarna från dragprovningen. Garner av 50% bindningsmaterial med 170 ºC i 5 min framställdes för fibrer som är återvunna och inte längre kan spinnas. 50/50 återvunnen bomull/polyester och 50/50 avfallsfibrer/polyester samt en blandning av 50/50 återvunnen bomull med 50/50 avfallsfibrer/polyester sammanbundna i nålningsprocessen. Slutsater från metoden har visat vara genomförbart och slut resultaten för mattan har blivit överförväntan. Konceptet har öppnat upp fler dörrar och framtida idéer till möjligheter till användningsområden för nonwovengarn, mattan är en av få produktionsområde. Projektet kan bli stort i framtiden och förhoppningvis har det en positiv påverkan som leder till mindre textilavfall.

Full textAbstract:
Ledningsbanor syftar till att föra ström eller digitala signaler mellan elektroniska komponenter. Traditionellt brukar ledare av solid metall användas, då metall har låg resistans och lämpar sig bra som strömledare. I denna studie utforskas möjlig-heten för olika material att fungera som textila ledningsbanor. Textila ledningsba-nor behövs bland annat i medicinska plagg med sensorer. En ledningsbana som ska vara i ett plagg måste både vara tvättbar och flexibel. I denna studie har tre konduktiva garner testats; Bekinox VN 12/2*275 /175S, Shi-eldex 235/34 och Highflex 3981 7*1 Silver. Ett textilt band med fyra ledningsba-nor i, OHM-e-12-L-1, från företaget Ohmatex har också utvärderats samt har det undersökts om det är möjligt att använda konduktiv silikon, Elastosil LR 3162 A/B, som en ledningsbana. För att ta reda på hur de konduktiva materialen tål tvätt har tvättester utförts där resistansen efter tvätt har mätts. En metod har utvecklats som går ut på att undersöka om konduktiviteten försämras när materialet utsätts för mekaniskt deformation vid en böjrörelse. Det har även testats om en silikonbe-läggning med Dow Corning 3140 RTV Coating kan förhindra en eventuell höjning av resistansen efter testerna och resultaten har jämförts med de prover som inte varit belagda. Beläggningen isolerar även garnerna och därför har även det testats att använda Elastosil som kontaktpunkter för de belagda garnerna. Bekinox klarar både tvätt och böjningstest bra. Shieldex resistans höjs efter tvätt men silikonbeläggningen har en skyddande effekt. Shieldex klarar böjningstestet bra och resistansen ändras knappt. Highflex klarar tvättesterna och har väldigt låg resistans men är känslig mot mekanisk deformation och skadas i böjningstesterna. Där har inte beläggningen en skyddande effekt. Elastosil är inte lämplig som led-ningsbana och fungerar inte som kontaktpunkter. Elastosil visar sig däremot ha god härdighet mot både tvätt och böjning. Bandet från Ohmatex fungerar bra både efter tvätt och böjningstester och är lämplig som ledningsbana.Interconnections are electrical conductive tracks that aim to transport electricity or digital signals between components in a circuit. The conventional way of doing this is to use connections of solid metal, since they have low electrical resistance and are thereby suitable conductors. In this study, different materials have been investigated for their suitability to be used as textile interconnections. Textile in-terconnections are needed in for instance medical measuring equipment garments. A textile interconnection in a garment needs to withstand washing and bending. In this study three conductive yarns are tested; Bekinox VN 12/2*275/175S, Shieldex 235/34 and Highflex 3981 7*1 Silver. A textile interconnection narrow fabric with four copper wires within, OHM-e-12-L-1, by the company Ohmatex has also been investigated. The conductive silicon Elastosil LR 3162 A/B has also been investigated for its suitability to fit as textile interconnection and as electrical contact with conductive yarns. Washing tests have been made to investigate how the materials electrical resistance is affected by washing. To measure and under-stand the materials flexibility and how the resistance is affected by bending of the material, the materials have been bended in a bending apparatus that has been developed in this study. It has also been investigated whether or not a silicon coat-ing, Dow Corning 3140 RTV Coating, of the yarns may protect them from the chemical and mechanical wearing of washing and bending. The change in re-sistance has then been compared to values of the uncoated yarns. Since the coat-ing is electrically isolating the yarns, screen printed contact points of Elastosil has been added and investigated. Bekinox withstands both washing and bending well. The electrical resistance of Shieldex increases by washing, but the silicon coated yarns increase less than the uncoated yarns. Shieldex withstands the bending test well and the change in re-sistance is low. Highflex passes the washing test well and has very low resistance. But the Highflex yarn is sensitive to mechanical deformation and gets damaged by the bending test. The silicon coating has no protecting effect here. Elastosil is not suitable as an interconnection and the contact points by Elastosil are neither working well together with the conductive yarns. But Elastosil do withstands both the washing and bending test well. The conductive narrow fabric by Ohmatex withstands both the washing and bending test well and it is suitable as an inter-connection.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MA (Linguistics, Language and Communication)Fairy tales have been changing continuously. From the likes of the Greek and Chinese versions of the Cinderella tale, Cinderella has been transformed into other versions. Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm had their way with the story of Cinderella with both parties putting their own mark on the tale. Disney made the story notorious as the consumers mostly tend to remember Disney's version and not earlier writers of the story (Zipes, 1999). Since then, various other versions in the current sphere of story-telling, especially through movie-making, have had a series of re-telling of the story. James Finn Garner's "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" has made its mark in the world of politically correct, versions of fairy tales. He has graced readers with his satire and thereby challenged the more traditional versions of the story of Cinderella (and others) by posing a dry, humorous twist and facing the 'issues' which underlie the social problems in Cinderella such as equality, sexism and patriarchal, inappropriate gender biased terminology. Garner takes it upon himself to remediate the story of Cinderella through transformations of events and socially structured power relations, reworking the plot and characters and reformulation of gender-biased terminology. This results in a witty politically correct remodelling of the story which upholds a general moral in line with the contemporary socio-political ethos, championing usage of politically correct language.

Full textAbstract:
Husqvarna är ett företag som bland annat tillverkar skyddskläder avsedda för arbete i skogen. På uppdrag av Husqvarna skall möjligheten att integrera elektronik i skyddskläder undersökas, vilket ligger till grund för följande arbete. Genom en litteraturstudie har möjliga tekniker studerats. Baserat på det faktum att skyddskläder oftast är vävda valdes vävning som teknik. Olika typer av ledande material i form av garner undersöktes genom att resistansen hos dessa uppmättes. Därefter gjordes ett urval utav de konduktiva materialen där de med lägst resistans togs vidare för testning och prototypframtagning. Prover med kanaler som det konduktiva materialet lades in i vävdes fram. Dessutom laminerades vissa provkroppar som innehöll icke-isolerat konduktivt garn. Lamineringens syfte var att isolera det ledande garnet och därmed skydda arbetaren från stötar och systemet från att kortslutas. Det utfördes sedan tester på de tillverkade provkropparna som undersökte tåligheten mot tvätt och svett. Tvättestet gjordes i enlighet med SS- EN ISO 6330:2012 och för svettestet konstruerades en egen metod eftersom det i nuläget inte finns en standard som involverar svettlösning och konduktiva material i textil. Efter tvättestet visade det sig att det laminat som användes inte är att rekommendera då det lossnade på majoriteten av provkropparna. Däremot påverkades inte resistansen i garnen nämnvärt av tvättningen. Det resultat som erhölls av svettestet visade på att laminatet bidrog till att ingen kontakt mellan de ledande banorna uppstod. Laminatet är trots det inte att föredra på grund av dess påverkan i tvättestet. Utöver det var det endast de prov som innehöll endast FISK-kabel som klarade sig från att få kontakt mellan de ledande banorna. Då elektronik och textil inte vanligtvis används tillsammans är möjligheten att separera de olika systemen vid återvinning av plagget nödvändig. Ur miljösynpunkt är det därför fördelaktigt att integrera elektroniken så lite som möjligt, eftersom den då blir lättare att separera från tyget. Dessutom möjliggör det för eventuella reparationer av de olika komponenterna, vilket i sin tur kan förlänga hela produktens livslängd. För komfortens och säkerhetens skull måste dock elektroniken och ledningsbanorna integreras betydligt mer. Det bästa alternativet för att integrera elektronik i ett plagg för det här ändamålet är antagligen att placera ledningsbanorna i förslagsvis ett fodertyg. Rekommendationen är en tunn isolerad kabel som läggs i kanaler i tyget. Eftersom den här studien gjorts som en undersökning till om det skulle vara möjligt att integrera elektronik i skyddskläder krävs vidare produktutveckling och designarbete för att ett skyddsplagg med smarta funktioner ska bli verklighet.Husqvarna is a company that manufactures workwear intended for work in the forest. On behalf of Husqvarna, the possibility of integrating electronics into workwear will be investigated, which is the basis for this work. Through a literature study possible techniques have been studied. Due to the fact that workwear usually is of woven structure, weaving was chosen as the technique. Different types of conductive materials were examined by measuring the electrical resistance. A selection was made of the conductive materials with the lowest resistance for further testing and prototype development. Specimens were woven with canals, into which the conductive material was inserted. In addition, specimens containing non-insulated conductive yarn were laminated. The purpose of the lamination was to insulate the conductive yarn and thereby protect the worker from electrical shocks and cause a short curcuit. Tests were then performed on the manufactured specimens which examined the resistance to washing and sweat. The washing test was done on the basis of SS-EN ISO 6330: 2012 and for the sweat test an own method was constructed, because there is currently no standard that involves sweat and conductive materials in textiles. After washing tests it turned out that the laminate is not to recommend as it came loose on the majority of the specimens. However, the electrical resistance was not significantly affected by the washing. The results obtained from the sweat test showed that the laminate prevented contact between the conductive lines. Nevertheless, the laminate is not to be preferred in this case due to how it was affected in the washing test. In addition, only those specimens that contained only FISK-cable managed to not create contact between the conductive paths. As electronics and textiles are not usually used together, the possibility of separating the different systems when recycling the garment is necessary. From an environmental point of view, it is therefore advantageous to integrate the electronics as little as possible, as it will then be easier to separate from the fabric. In addition, it allows for possible repairs of the various components, which can extend the life of the entire product. For the sake of comfort, however, the electronics and wiring must be integrated much more. The best option for integrating electronics into a garment for this purpose is probably to place the conduits in a lining fabric with a thin insulated cable lying in canals in the fabric. This study´s purpose was to determine whether it would be possible to integrate electronics into workwear, further product development and designwork is neccessary in order to create garments with smart features.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare the traditions shaping the development of literary journalism in Australia and Germany. Tracing the different historical developments of the form in the two countries provides the contextual basis for an in-depth comparative analysis, which concentrates on the concepts of credibility and authenticity. The thesis explores whether different attitudes to news and opinion in journalism in the two countries influence these notions that are central to literary journalism. However, in the comparative analysis other significant factors become apparent. In four case studies, two from each country, consisting of book-length examples of literary journalism, distinct journalistic and literary criteria are applied to gain insights of how credibility and authenticity are achieved and to what extent this influences the perception of these works. One key finding is that in Germany the main instrument to achieve authenticity and credibility is eyewitness reporting in the strict sense of the word, that is, the writer experienced what he or she writes about first-hand. Australia, on the other hand, allows more room and greater emphasis for narrative techniques combined with well-researched and verifiable facts. This difference in understanding of authenticity is also supported by the other key finding that diverging media laws and regulations, above all the laws protecting privacy and personality, greatly influence the production and reception of literary journalism in the two countries. For Germany, this means that the scope for the form is far narrower than in the Anglo-American world, to which Australia belongs.

Diese werden durch das natürliche Sphingosin-1-phosphat sowie die Sphingosin-Derivate FTY720 und cis-4-Methylsphingosin selektiv adressiert. Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese von fünfzehn neuartigen Sphingosin-Derivaten mit potenziell neuen biologischen Eigenschaften. Hierfür wurde die Leitstruktur des natürlichen D-erythro-Sphingosins an den Positionen 1, 3 und/oder 4 modifiziert. Die biologischen Studien mit diesen Verbindungen lieferten erste Erkenntnisse zur Inhibition des S1P-induzierten Calcium-Anstiegs, der Wechselwirkung mit den S1P-Rezeptoren und der zellulären Lokalisation in Chlamydia trachomatis infizierten Zellen. Darüber hinaus wurde eine Methode, die einen schnelleren und variablen Zugang zu den 4-verzweigten Sphingosin-Derivaten erlaubt, etabliert.Sphingolipids are essential constituents of plasma membranes in all eukaryotic organisms. They also participate as signalling molecules in almost all physiological processes. Here G-protein coupled S1P receptors play an important role. These receptors are selectively addressed by natural ligand sphingosine-1-phosphate as well as by sphingosine analogues FTY720 and cis-4-methylsphingosine. This work describes the synthesis of fifteen sphingosine analogues with potential biological activity. For this purpose, the natural lead structure of D-erythro-sphingosine was modified at positions 1, 3 and/or 4. The biological studies of these compounds provided the first insights to the inhibition of S1P-induced calcium increase, the interaction with S1P receptors and the cellular localization in Chlamydia trachomatis infected cells. Moreover, an adapted method that allowed faster and adaptable access to 4-branched sphingosines was established.

Full textAbstract:
La question des archives peut paraître anodine. Elle est liée pourtant à l'utilité du passé et à la nécessité de le conserver quand le contexte économique actuel place les informations, récentes de préférence, au coeur du système. Cette thèse est fondée sur une étude des pratiques d'archivage du centre de recherche d'une entreprise industrielle publique française. Elle est sur trois niveaux. Celui de "l'individu", pris dans un service d'une quarantaine de personnes, lieu de notre observation participante, celui du "local" que constitue ce service, partie du "global" que représente l'ensemble du centre. La législation, les normes, les comportements et les discours des employés, comme de la direction, ont été pris en compte. Si l'archivage est un moment particulier dans le quotidien du travail, nous n'assistons pas à un "rituel" commun. Il n'y a pas d'interprétation collective, quel que soit le niveau, des actes concernés. Interrogation sur la mémoire de l'entreprise, la place des archives renvoie par miroir à son fonctionnement et à sa politique, donc à ses perspectives d'avenirThe archives could seem an insignificant subject. It is still referring to past's utility and the need to conserve it, when our economic context place data, preferably recent, is at the system's heart. The present thesis is based on a study done in a French industrial public firm's research center. It is on three levels. The first level is the individual one, who works in about forty people department, where our participator observing took place. The second one is the "local" level which is this department itself, part of the third, the "global" one which is the whole center. We have taken care of the legislation, norms, behaviors and speeches, from the employees as well as from the management. If archiving is a special time in the everyday work life, we do not assist to a common "ritual". There is no collective interpretation, whatever the level, on these actions. Archive's position interrogate firm memory and sends back to its organization and its politics, and to its perpectives for the future

Using the model of Be Spiral garnets are well-documented metamorphic microstructures that have been observed in orogens throughout the world. The preferred orientation of spiral garnet axes has been proposed (Bell and Johnson, 1989) to record and preserve information about the timing, rate, and orientation of the tectonic-scale processes. Using the model of Bell and Johnson (1989), Aerden et al. (2013) proposed a link between the preferred orientation of spiral garnets and changes in relative plate motion between Iberia and Africa. The goal of this thesis is to this relationship by absolutely dating, eight samples from the Betic-Rif arc with measurable spiral axis orientations were chosen for Sm-Nd garnet geochronology. Chapter one is a detailed literature review of prior work on the formation and interpretation of spiral garnets. In chapter two we present 11 bulk Sm-Nd garnet ages from eight samples, these ages range from 35.6 ± 2.8 to 13.62 ± 0.69 Ma. The results from the obtained bulk garnet ages reveal a more complex relationship between FIA orientations and plate motion that originally hypothesized in Aerden et al. (2013). Large-scale rigid block rotations that postdate garnet growth may have influenced the current orientation of FIA from the western Betic-Rif. In chapter three, zoned geochronology was conducted on a single sample from the Nevado-Filabride Complex. This study revealed spiral garnet formation occurring on a rapid timescale, just 〖0.45〗_(-0.32)^(+0.51) Myr. While other zoned garnet studies have shown similar rapid growth in subduction zone setting (Dragovic et al., 2012), this is the first such documentation of such rapid growth from a garnet hosting spiral inclusion trails in a regional metamorphic setting. We calculated strain rates considering different genetic models for the spiral inclusion trails either by garnet rotation in simple shear, or by episodic overgrowth of suborthogonal crenulation cleavages due to switching stress axes. In both cases a similar fast strain rate of ca. 10-13 s-1 was obtained, which is an order of magnitude faster than typical regional strain rates and faster than previous spiral garnet studies regardless of the method used to calculate strain-rate

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the equilibrium temperature (T) and pressure (P) of minerals in kimberlites is critical in aiding diamond exploration and furthering the understanding of the Earth. To that end, this work embarks on an experimental study into the partitioning of elements between garnet and c1inopyroxene (cpx) as a function of temperature and pressure. The partition coefficients of the elements Ca, Na, Li and Co show a strong pressure correlation and are calibrated as geobarorneters. The lattice strain model (Wood and Blundy, 1997) is applied to the partitioning of rare earth elements between garnet and cpx. The potential of the model to be ut.ilised as a geothermometer is investigated. New terms are given to predict Egnt, rgnt t and Ecpx which do not require a temperature estimate. Two thermometers are discussed which calculate T based only on the cpx composition. Another two thermometers are given which calculate T based only on the garnet composition. All the models are shown to be valid and a cpx model is the most reliable. The slope of In Di/D L,u against ionic radius is calibrated as a thermometer and demonstrated to be a I.u reliable geothermometer. The petrology of 17 eclogite xenoliths, many containing either diamond or graphite, is inves- tigated. Exsolution in talc, cpx and rutile is discussed. Numerous methods are used to estimate temperature and the barometer of Simakov (2008) is used. The geothermobarometers from this study are applied to the xenolith mineral data to calculate T and P. The Na barometer and the slope of the REE show themselves to be most reliable method of predicting P and T. In fact, the Na barometer correctly predicts the presence of diamond or graphite more often than any other method.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropogenic activity has greatly increased watershed export of bioavailable nitrogen. Escalating levels of bioavailable nitrogen can deteriorate aquatic ecosystems by promoting nuisance algae growth, depleting dissolved oxygen levels, altering biotic communities, and expediting eutrophication. Despite these potential detrimental impacts, there is notable lack of understanding of the linkages between anthropogenic nitrogen inputs and the spatial and seasonal heterogeneity of stream network concentrations and watershed nitrogen export. This dissertation research seeks to more accurately define these linkages by investigating the roles of landscape position and spatial distribution of anthropogenic nitrogen inputs on the magnitude and speciation of watershed nitrogen export and retention and how these roles vary seasonally across contrasting landscapes in a 212 km² mountainous watershed in southwest Montana. Results indicate localized inputs of anthropogenic nitrogen occurring in watershed areas with quick transport times to streams had disproportionate effects on watershed nitrogen export compared to spatially distributed or localized inputs of nitrogen to areas with longer transport times. In lower elevation alluvial streams, these effects varied seasonally and were most evident during the dormant winter season by amplified nitrate peaks, elevated dissolved organic nitrogen:dissolved organic nitrogen (DIN:DON) ratios and lower dissolved organic carbon (DOC):total dissolved nitrogen (DOC:TDN). During the summer growing season, biologic uptake of nitrogen masked anthropogenic influences on watershed nitrogen export; however, endmember mixing analysis of nitrate isotopes revealed significant anthropogenic influence during the growing season, despite low nitrate concentrations and DIN:DON ratios. In contrast, streams draining alpine environments consisting of poorly developed, shallow soils and small riparian areas exhibited yearlong elevated nitrate concentrations compared to other sites, suggesting these areas were highly nitrogen enriched. Watershed modeling revealed the majority of watershed nitrogen retention occurred in the upland environment, most likely from biological uptake or lack of hydrologic connectivity. This work has critical implications for watershed management, which include: 1) developing flexible strategies that address varying landscape characteristics and nitrogen loading patterns across a watershed, 2) avoiding clustering nitrogen loading in areas with quick travel times to surface waters, 3) seasonal monitoring to accurately gauge watershed nitrogen saturation status, and 4) incorporating spatial relationships into streamwater nitrogen models.

Full textAbstract:
Durant la première moitié du XXᵉ siècle, divers mouvements d’avant-garde occidentaux sont introduits au Japon et s’y développent dans un court intervalle de temps, menant à des unions difficilement concevables dans une perspective européenne. Cette caractéristique est flagrante dans le cas du surréalisme japonais, objet culturel synthétique. Durant les années 1930, les pressions croissantes sur les artistes et intellectuels achèvent de lui donner une coloration singulière. Comme de nombreux peintres japonais, Kitawaki Noboru (1901-1951) s’intéresse au surréalisme, mais il va rapidement s’éloigner du modèle occidental pour entamer une exploration artistique singulière au travers de ses « peintures schématiques », qui visent à construire le modèle d’une réalité qui semble échapper à tout cadre et, partant, à toute tentative de compréhension, et ainsi rendre à l’homme la place qui doit y être la sienne. Les tentatives de Kitawaki qui se nourrissent des domaines les plus divers, sans véritable limitation temporelle, géographique, ni disciplinaire, évoquent le travail des peintres-savants de la Renaissance. Indissociable du contexte, sa production ne saurait être perçue de manière uniquement conjoncturelle. L’analyse de plusieurs de ses écrits et de ses œuvres, ainsi que des schémas aussi bien théoriques que pratiques qu’il développe (notamment la question du vide pictural) renseignent sur le but poursuivi par le peintre qui, à rebours des standards, s’intéresse tout autant au fond qu’aux motifs de ses toiles, et plus encore qu’aux éléments eux-mêmes à la manière de les combinerDuring the first half of the 20th century, several European avant-garde movements were introduced in Japan, where they grew within a short period of time, sometimes intermingling, which was quite inconceivable from an Occidental perspective. This characteristic was obvious in the case of Japanese surrealism, a synthetic cultural object. During the 1930s, the increasing pressure on artists and intellectuals gave it an even more singular dimension. Like many Japanese painters, Kitawaki Noboru (1901-1951) was interested in surrealism, but he quickly moved away from the Western model to begin a singular artistic exploration through his "Schematic Paintings", with which he aimed to construct a model of reality that appeared less and less ordered in a time of trouble and which consequently could no longer be understood. In this way he aimed to give back to man the place that should be his. Kitawaki’s attempts to draw inspiration from the most diverse fields, without any real temporal, geographical or disciplinary limitations, evoke the work of Renaissance polymath artists. His production, while inseparable from the context, cannot be perceived only in relation to historical events. The in-depth analysis of several of his writings and works, as well as the theoretical and practical schemas he developed (notably the question of the pictorial void) provide information on the painter's aim, which—in contrast to standards—was as much concerned with the background as it was with the motifs of his canvases, and which was more concerned with the manner in which elements were combined than with the elements themselves

Full textAbstract:
For over 100 years eclogites have played a vital role in the development of partial melting models, crustal-mantle systems and geodynamic models involving subduction/recycling processes. However their origin remains controversial from one involving subducted basaltic protoliths to polybaric fractionates of basaltic melts with the added complexity of post-formational metamorphic processes. This thesis presents new chemical data on eclogite and pyroxenite samples from varied geological settings: a classic craton [Kaapvaal Craton (e.g., Roberts Victor, Kimberley and Bultfontein pipes)], circum-cratonic localities (Chino Valley – USA) and oceanic environments (Malaita, New Zealand and Hawaii). Apart from petrographic data, mineral chemistry has been constrained using the electron microprobe and laser ablation ICP-MS for major, minor and trace element data, laser ablation for oxygen isotope data and ICP-MS and TIMS for radiogenic isotopes (Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf and Sr). Garnet pyroxenites have normalised trace element patterns and O isotopes consistent with derivation from silicate melts or by reaction between melts and peridotite. On-craton eclogites and garnet clinopyroxenites have normalised trace element patterns and heterogeneous O isotopes indicative of lower temperature processes either as (a) a “basaltic” protolith altered at low temperatures and subducted to form eclogite or (b) an eclogite retrograded to garnet pyroxenite pre- or syn-entrainment. Modeling of Hf-Nd-Sr isotopes indicates that the Kaapvaal eclogites were derived from Archean protoliths whose isotopic signatures have been disturbed by extensive metasomatism. Four aspects of the thesis are noteworthy: (1) the extreme Hf-Nd-Sr heterogeneity shown by eclogites and pyroxenites relative to MORB and OIB, (2) the heavy O isotope ratios for on- and off-craton samples from Chino Valley and Lovedale, (3) the unique Archean (3.15 Ga) low Hf, Nd and Sr reservoir represented by a Roberts Victor eclogite, and (4) the Lu-Hf system is more robust than the Sm-Nd system.

Full textAbstract:
Le pathétique caractérise le théâtre de Garnier. Influence par l'éloquence et la poétique d’Aristote, il veut édifier et délecter en représentent les émotions violentes déclenchées par des malheurs extrêmes. Une catastrophe nationale constitue le sujet, atroce et lamentable, et faisant référence aux guerres de religion. Garnier élabore une dramaturgie favorisant le pathétique. Le lieu de l'action, élargi, permet d'opposer les points de vue et instaure une atmosphère angoissante. Conséquences d'un malheur antérieur, de multiples évènements funestes se déroulent presque en temps réel. La structure interne de la pièce souligne les situations d'urgence, d'incommunicabilité et d'échec que vivent les personnages. Mais ces vaincus peuvent surmonter leur sort en accédant a une liberté intérieure héroïque. Combinant les effets pathétiques de l'éloquence et du théâtre antique, le dialogue est en constante interaction avec le spectacle. La thématique, le style et la prosodie exacerbent l'expression des passions, soulignant les signes physiques du trouble intérieur. Proférée par le chœur et presque tous les personnages, la plainte envahit le discours théâtral. Exprimant une douleur universelle à laquelle le public est invité à s'associer, elle sert le didactisme de l'œuvre : le pécheur tente de discerner les desseins de la transcendance dans un monde instablePathos is the main feature of the theatre of Garnier. Influenced by eloquence and Aristotle’s poetics, it represents grieves provoked but great misfortunes, in order to instruct and delight. A national disaster constitutes the terrible and pitiable subject of the play. The dramatic techniques Garnier builds up are likely to produce pathos. Many deadly events, following on an earlier disaster, occur in a very short time, but in a place where different points of view can easily be exposed by opposite characters. The scenery sets up an atmosphere of fear. The structure of the play emphasizes the predicament daused by emergency, lack of communication and defeat. But the heroes can overcome their fate when they conquer their inner liberty. The show and the dialogue constantly interact. Themes, style and prosody emphasize the physical signs of passion. As the chorus and most of the characters bewail their lot, lamentation spreads to the whole text. Pathos helps also to instruct : the public is requested to take part to the universal grief of man, liable to passion and to unsteady fortune, and who tries to guess the aims of transcendence

However, RSM results show that the off-stoichiometric YIG film on (111) GGG substrates can remain fully strained in plane with thickness from 23 nm to 74 nm; while the samples on (001) GGG substrates show different degrees of relaxation in-plane depending on film thickness. Magnetic characterization shows that the samples grown on (111) GGG substrates have saturation magnetization Ms~45 emu/cc, which is significantly smaller than standard YIG (~140 Ms~45/emu/cc). Furthermore, the Curie temperature of samples grown on (111) GGG is ~ 310K, in obvious contrast with standard YIG ~560K.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien har varit undersöka om Howard Gardners teori om multipla intelligenser kan användas som analytiskt redskap i en dramapedagogisk verksamhet på kulturskola. Detta har gjorts genom en autoetnografisk inspirerad studie på en kulturskola i Sverige. Studien har gjorts i två teatergrupper med deltagare i åldrar mellan 10 och 18 år. Ett dramapass har genomförts med varje grupp under ledning av författaren. Dessa pass har filmats och sedan analyserats för att beskriva hur Howard Gardners intelligenser visat sig i passen. Passen har också analyserats in i Mia-Marie Sternudds modell av dramapedagogikens fyra perspektiv. Det gjordes för att kunna tolka Gardners teori mot Sternudds modell och för att synliggöra hur de kan användas för att tolka ett dramapass. Resultatet visade att både Sternudds modell och Gardners teori är användbara i en dramapedagogisk verksamhet, men på olika sätt.

Full textAbstract:
Bone Garden is a collection of poetry that inspects interpersonal communication and an often misguided sense of connection with others. Through investigations of memory, disaster, aging, and gender, the collection depicts a world in which many of us fruitlessly search for empathy and a sense of solidarity. Leading this investigation is a narrator whose frustrations with isolation often result in passive aggressive behavior or violence that furthers her separation from others. Bone Garden proposes solidarity as a salted plot and despair as the bitter fruit harvested by those who believe in it.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magister en Administración (MBA)Chile y el mundo se encuentran en un proceso de cambio profundo, la población mayor de 60 años está aumentando, y el envejecimiento es cada día más extenso, mientras, la natalidad está disminuyendo. Saber con cuánto dinero se va a jubilar, hoy en día es fácil de determinar. Pero, la evolución en las distintas etapas de la vida está relacionada con el papel más o menos activo que desempeña el individuo en la sociedad, es frecuente que las personas suspendan sus obligaciones laborales por alguna razón y comiencen a depender cada vez más de sus familias, de su comunidad y por cierto de la sociedad. Por lo tanto, el Plan de Negocio está basado en el concepto de “Residencia para el adulto mayor”, pensando que la vejez es una etapa en la que todos en algún momento nos encontraremos, por lo que un ambiente especialmente diseñado para el adulto mayor, que integre sus necesidades, con una vida activa y un entorno que entregue, además de tranquilidad, oportunidades de realizar actividades de esparcimiento, rodeado de un ambiente que genere las condiciones para labores que mantengan al cuerpo y mente activa son la clave del éxito para satisfacer una necesidad que la oferta actual del mercado no cubre. Por lo anterior se ha definido como “Factor de Éxito”, contar con una ventaja competitiva que nos posicione como una de las empresas más confiables del mercado, con características diferenciadoras como son la infraestructura necesaria para la realización de actividades de integración, alianzas con hospitales e instituciones que contengan beneficios para nuestros adultos mayores, vida social activa con la comunidad donde se encontraran, transporte para trámites, visitas o traslado desde y hacia sus hogares, flora y fauna propia del lugar en donde este inserta la residencia, seguridad mediante conexión a través de WEB familiar y actividades de integración que aseguren a los clientes y familiares un lugar idóneo y confiable para sus adultos mayores. El Mercado Objetivo que “Grand Garden" identifico es en función a la cantidad de hogares que se encuentran en Santiago y alrededores, su ubicación geográfica, el precio por cada servicio y el nivel de ingresos de los familiares y clientes, llegando a apuntar al mercado ABC1 donde se encuentran 231 hogares de ancianos que representan el 51,9% del total y cuyos familiares o clientes están dispuestos a pagar por un servicio de cuidado de entre M$0.5 y M$1.8, dependiendo de la comuna y el servicio que se entregue, siendo estos servicios en más de un 95% solamente hospedaje y cuidado. La Inversión y modelo financiero que el proyecto requiere presenta una inversión inicial de M$65.- que los socios aportarán en partes iguales, cuyo destino es la compra del terreno para la construcción del bien, los gastos de puesta en marcha del negocio y la cobertura del déficit operacional que se requiere en el comienzo del proyecto, que tiene una duración de 4 meses. Al mismo tiempo se requiere conseguir la aprobación del proyecto y levantamiento de capital por un total de M$150, para esto, se ha diseñado nuestro modelo de negocios basado en la creación de valor para el accionista a través de un negocio rentable e innovador y con retorno esperado de un 19% (k0), tasa que corresponde a la del retorno requerido por el proyecto más el costo de endeudamiento o riesgo de inversión. La compañía creada, presentará ingresos, costos y dividendos que permiten resultados positivos al segundo año del proyecto, con un modelo de negocio innovador y familiar que crea ventajas competitivas en el mercado actual, los antecedentes financieros se encuentran revisados y analizados teniendo como resultado de la evaluación los datos adjuntos que se explican en el desarrollo de este proyecto.
