Abstract:
Abstrakt Syftet med vår undersökning var att studera ICAs reklamfilmer ur ett genusperspektiv. Vi har specificerat oss på om det manliga eller kvinnliga könet framkommer mer eller mindre i filmerna, om det har skett någon förändring kring genusperspektivet från år 2006 till 2016, samt om varorna som finns med i filmerna är mer eller mindre riktade till något av könen.   Frågeställning:
    Hur framställs kvinnor respektive män i Icas reklamfilmer? Har det skett någon förändring från år 2006 till 2016? Är varorna som visas i reklamfilmerna avsedda för kvinnor, män eller båda?   Vi har utgått från teorier som vi anser är relevanta för vår undersökning. Vi har delat in teorierna i tre olika områden: Genus Medier och identitet Reklam och media. För att genomföra undersökningen har vi gjort en kvantitativ innehållsanalys på 15 olika reklamfilmer. Vi har avgränsat oss till reklamfilmer som har visats på TV under tre olika högtider i Sverige: jul, midsommar och påsk. Vi har sedan gjort en kvalitativ innehållsanalys på fem filmer som vi anser lockar fram olika stereotyper.   Resultatet vi fann i vår undersökning var att männen dominerar i ICAs reklamfilmer, och med det menar vi att det bland annat är fler manliga karaktärer som är med och har en slags ledarroll. Vårt resultat skiljer sig något mot vad teorierna kring ämnet påstår, nämligen att kvinnor ofta dominerar reklambranschen.
    Abstract The purpose of our survey was to study the gender perspective in ICA's commercials. We have specified whether the male or female gender appears more or less in the movies, if there has been any change in gender perspective from 2006 to 2016 and if the items featured in the movies are more or less directed to any of the sexes. We have limited ourselves to commercials that have been shown on television during three different festivals in Sweden: Christmas, Midsummer and Easter.   Question:
      How are women and men produced in Ica's commercials? Has there been any change from 2006 to 2016? Are the items shown in the commercials intended for women, men or both?   We have assumed theories that we consider relevant to our survey. We have divided the theories into three different areas: Gender Media and identity Advertising and the media. In order to conduct the survey, we have made a quantitative content analysis of 15 different commercials. We have limited ourselves to commercials that have been shown on television during three different festivals in Sweden: Christmas, Midsummer and Easter. We have then made a qualitative content analysis on five films that we consider attracting different stereotypes.   The result we found in our survey was that the men dominate ICA's commercials, and we mean that among other things there are more male characters that are in and have a sort of leadership role. Our results differ slightly from the theory of the subject, namely that women often dominate the advertising industry.

Abstract:
Idag finns det begränsade teorier som behandlar det postmoderna konsumtionssamhället utifrån ett medie- och kommunikationsvetenskaligt perspektiv. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka spänningsfältet mellan ICA och högskolestudenter i ett konsumtionssamhälle genom att granska varumärkeskommunikationens betydelse på digitala plattformar. Materialinsamlingen är genomförd i form av kvalitativa intervjuer, med medarbetare på ICA, samt fokusgrupper med studenter. Med studien vill vi ge en inblick i hur kommunikationsprocesser strategiskt utformas för att nå rätt målgrupp, hur relationer vårdas och vad en god dialog innebär och har för framtida betydelser. Studien har analyserat det spänningsfält som ligger i grund till valet av konsumtion gällande matvaruhandel som högskolestudent. Studiens slutsatser visar på att det är en rad olika faktorer som är bidragande till att bygga upp en stark relation med ett företag.
Today there is limited theories considering reasearch on the postmodern consumtion society from a media and communication perspective. The purpose with this thesis is to investigate the tension between ICA and Univeristy students in a consumption society through analysis brandbuilding communications meaning on digital platforms. The material to the thesis is collected by qualitative interviews, both with employees at ICA and focus groups with university students. With this thesis we want to give an insight of how communication processes strategically is designed to reach their target group, how relationships are nurtured and what a good dialogue means for future brand building. The study has analyzed the tension of what includes the choice of consumption when it comes to retail business from university students perspective. The conclusions indicate how there are a number of factors that are contributing to build a strong relationship with an organization.

Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus destaca-se como principal micro-organismo associado à mastite bovina contagiosa, sendo que as infecções crônicas podem ser causadas pelo crescimento bacteriano na forma de biofilmes, o que pode estar associado à persistência desta bactéria na glândula mamária e à resistência a diversos antimicrobianos. Estudos epidemiológicos empregando técnicas como a macrorestrição seguida de eletroforese em campo pulsado (PFGE) têm sido realizados, com a finalidade de identificar clones e caracterizar as infecções por S. aureus. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar a frequência de isolamento de S. aureus em amostras de leite colhidas periodicamente em um grupo de propriedades leiteiras do Vale do Taquari, RS; avaliar o perfil de suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos dos isolados de S. aureus identificados; classificar esses isolados em grupos clonais; avaliar a distribuição e a permanência dos grupos clonais nas propriedades leiteiras ao longo do tempo, além de verificar a presença de genes relacionados à formação de biofilmes (icaA e icaD). Foram colhidas amostras de leite de todas as vacas em lactação de 21 propriedades, amostradas semestralmente durante dois anos, totalizando 1060 amostras. A presença de S. aureus nas amostras foi detectada por isolamento e a identificação foi realizada de acordo com o National Mastitis Council. Isolados confirmados foram testados, pela técnica de disco difusão em ágar, quanto à suscetibilidade frente a treze antimicrobianos. Os isolados também foram submetidos à macrorrestrição do DNA total – PFGE e posteriormente testados pela PCR para detecção dos genes icaA e icaD. Das 1060 amostras avaliadas, 395 não apresentaram crescimento bacteriano. Staphylococcus sp. coagulase negativa foram identificados em 262 amostras, seguido de 136 amostras em que identificou-se S. aureus. A frequência de isolamento de S. aureus variou de 3,45% a 70,59% nas 17 propriedades em que este agente estava presente. No teste de suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos, a maioria (75,7%) dos 132 isolados testados apresentaram perfil de sensibilidade, sendo a resistência mais frequente à penicilina (18,2%) e ampicilina (14,4%). Em apenas 27,3% dos isolados detectou-se os genes associados à formação de biofilmes pesquisados, sendo o gene icaD o mais prevalente, seguido da presença de ambos os genes. Os 122 isolados clivados pela enzima SmaI e submetidos à PFGE foram classificados em 38 grupos clonais. Observaram-se poucos grupos clonais persistentes, pois somente seis foram descritos consecutivamente em pelo menos duas coletas. O grupo clonal 16 foi o mais prevantente, apresentando isolados em uma mesma propriedade ao longo de dois anos. Conclui-se que Staphylococcus aureus está presente na glândula mamária de bovinos em lactação em pequenas propriedades da região. Esses isolados apresentam baixa frequência de resistência aos antimicrobianos. Há uma grande variabilidade de pulsotipos entre os isolados presentes nessas propriedades, porém poucos grupos clonais persistem nas propriedades amostradas. Não foi possível associar a permanência dos grupos clonais nos rebanhos à presença dos genes icaA e icaD ou ao perfil de resistência a antimicrobianos.
Staphylococcus aureus stands out as the main microorganism associated with bovine contagious mastitis, whereas chronic infections can be caused by bacterial growth in the form of biofilms, which can be associated with the persistence of the bacteria in the mammary gland and resistance to various antibiotics. Epidemiological studies employing techniques such as macrorestriction followed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) have been carried out, aiming to identify clones and characterize S. aureus infections. The objectives of this study were: to assess the frequency of S. aureus isolation in milk samples collected periodically in a group of dairy farms from Taquari Valley, RS; evaluate the profile of antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus identified isolates; classify these isolates in clonal groups; assess the distribution and retention of clonal groups in dairy herds over time and to verify the presence of genes related to biofilm formation (icaA and icaD). Milk samples were collected from all lactating cows from 21 properties that were sampled every six months for two years, totaling 1060 samples. The presence of S. aureus in the samples was detected by isolation and the identification was performed according to National Mastitis Council. Confirmed isolates were tested for susceptibility to thirteen antimicrobial by disk diffusion technique in agar. The isolates also underwent macro-restriction of total DNA - PFGE and were subsequently tested by PCR for detection of genes icaA and icaD. Of the 1060 samples tested, 395 showed no bacterial growth. Staphylococcus sp. coagulase-negative samples were identified at 262, followed by 136 samples in which S. aureus was identified. The frequency of isolation of S. aureus ranged from 3.45% to 70.59% in 17 properties wherein this agent was present. In antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the majority (75.7%) of the 132 isolates tested showed sensitivity profile, being most frequent resistance to penicillin (18.2%) and ampicillin (14.4%). In only 27.3% of the isolates were detected genes associated with biofilm formation surveyed and icaD was the most prevalent, followed by the presence of both genes. The 122 isolates cleaved by SmaI and submitted for PFGE were classified into 38 clonal groups. There were few persistent clonal groups, because only six groups were described consecutively in at least two collections. The clonal group 16 was the most prevalent, presenting isolates at the same property over two years. Is conclusive that Staphylococcus aureus is present in the mammary gland of lactating cattle on small farms in the region. These isolates have low frequency of antimicrobial resistance. There is great variability of pulsotypes among isolates in those properties, but few clonal groups persist in the sampled properties. It was not possible to associate the permanence of clonal groups in herds to the presence of icaA and icaD or to the profile of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract:
In the midst of stiff and fierce competition and increased number of grocery retail outlets providing a variety of products, customers have become accustomed to patronizing multiple outlets. Retailers have recognized this trend and are of the view that customer satisfaction plays a role in the success of business strategies. Therefore it has become important for grocery retail stores to try and manage customer satisfaction. This paper was thus developed to investigate the satisfaction levels of customers in supermarkets. Data was collected from three supermarkets in Visby, Gotland. The study examined the importance of overall dimensions and specific elements of customer satisfaction towards the measurement of satisfaction levels. In addition, comparative analysis was conducted between the three relative grocery stores. Customer satisfaction levels were measured. The highest percentage of customers of the whole sample belonged to medium level of satisfaction. The statistical result concluded that customers of ICA Nära and customers of ICA were higher satisfied than those of Coop Forum. The results showed that customers felt satisfied with Location, Staff courtesy and Reliability of supermarkets as the top aspects that drive satisfaction while additional services were ranked lowest. Due to these results, the impact of these attributes on Customer satisfaction must not be underestimated.

Studien redogör för kommunikationsverktygen ICA använder i den externa kommunikationen av ICA I love eco-sortimentet. De studerade kommunikationskanalerna är reklamfilmer samt kundtidningen Buffé. Tidningar och reklamfilmer som innehöll information om ICA I love eco-sortimentet under perioden mars 2008 - oktober 2011 valdes ut för textanalys. I textanalysen utgick vi ifrån semiotiska och retoriska begrepp för att se meningen som texterna skapar. Resultat visar att ICA använder samhällsengagemang som ett kommunikationsverktyg och strategi. Resultat visar även att ICA använder fem olika dimensioner av nytta, positiv och negativ emotionell nytta, värde för pengarna, sociala livet samt funktionaliteten, i marknadsföringen av det ekologiska sortimentet.

Staphylococcus spp. plays an important role in the etiology of bovine mastitis. Staphylococcus aureus is considered the most relevant specie due to the production of virulence factors such as ?slime?, which is required for biofilm formation. This study aimed to detect the phenotypic expression of the biofilm formation in 20 S. aureus isolates from bovine mastitis, to detect and quantify the expression of genes involved in its production and regulation, as well as to detect the phenogenotypic resistance to beta-lactam in order to evaluate the possible relation between biofilm production and antimicrobial resistance. The isolates were characterized by MALDI-TOF and phenogenotypic identification assays. Also they were submitted to the phenotypic tests to evaluate biofilm production and the susceptibility to beta-lactams. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in the Biofilm (MICB) were determined to three isolates presenting distinct biofilm production. Futherly, a PCR for the detection of ?slime? production genes (icaA and icaD), Bap protein (bap), beta-lactamase (blaZ) and protein altered penicillin-binding (mecA). Also, the Agr system was typified (agr I, agr II, agr III and agr IV) and its regulator (agr RNAIII) was detected. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was performed to determine the most suitable time interval for biofilm analysis. Real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed at the chosen times to quantify the expression of icaA, icaD and hld genes in the three studied isolates. All 20 isolates were biofilm producers and most presented icaA and icaD genes. Only one isolate presented the bap gene. The agr gene type II presented a prevalence of 70%. The SEM showed gradual changes in bacterial arrangement during the biofilm formation along the phases of the growth curve. The peak was reached at the stationary phase. Transcriptional analysis revealed increased expression of ica genes at 8 h of growth and of hld at 24 h. However, for the N-365 strain the ica expression was of low yield. For this study, the penicillin resistance was related to the production of beta-lactamase otherwise the high MBC detected for cefoxitin may be associated to biofilm protection, evidentiated by the fact that the isolates have MICB values higher than MICs tested for planktonic cells

Foi realizada Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura (MEV) para determinar o intervalo de tempo mais adequado para a an?lise do biofilme. A PCR em tempo real (qPCR) foi realizada nos tempos selecionados para quantificar a express?o dos genes icaA, icaD e hld em tr?s isolados com produ??o variada de biofilme. Todos os isolados foram produtores de biofilme e a maioria apresentou os genes icaA e icaD. Apenas um isolado apresentou o gene bap. O gene agr tipo II mostrou preval?ncia de 70%. A MEV mostrou mudan?as graduais no arranjo bacteriano durante a forma??o de biofilme ao longo das fases da curva de crescimento que atingiu seu pico de forma??o na fase estacion?ria. A an?lise transcricional evidenciou maior express?o dos genes ica no tempo de 8 h de crescimento e hld em 24 h. Contudo, a cepa N-365 mostrou baixa produ??o dos genes ica. Para este estudo, a resist?ncia ? penicilina foi relacionada com a produ??o de beta-lactamase, enquanto a elevada CBM detectada para cefoxitina pode estar associada ? prote??o que o biofilme oferece, epis?dio evidenciado pelo fato dos isolados apresentarem valores de CIMB superiores aos CIMs testados para as c?lulas planct?nicas.

Abstract:
We are constantly being fed information. Everything and everyone we come into contact with may somehow make a new impression on us, whether we are aware of it or not. One of the ways that people in today’s society in Sweden are being given information is via different types of media, for example through commercials. Whether it’s a video clip or a still-frame picture, a commercial is an effective way for a company to reach out to potential customers. However, it is not only the messages or signals that may appear obvious that these companies send out when advertising with commercials. When taking a closer look at a commercial, it becomes clear that these pictures or video clips may make more impressions than it may first appear. Commercials mirror the society that we are living in, yet at the same time they send out signals about what the society could be like. Creating expectations, longing and ideals; commercials have a larger impact on their public than it may first seem. In this essay we have chosen to focus on two Swedish brands: the grocery store Ica and the clothing brand Hennes & Mautriz (H&M). Focusing on three different time periods – the 1990’s, 2000’s and 2010’s – we have studied the development of these two companies commercials and analyzed what possible messages these commercials send out. Our main focus has been to study these brands from a gender critical perspective and analyzing how men and women are portrayed, comparing differences and similarities.

Abstract:
The aim with this essay is to map down how the language plays a part in the persuasion carried out by ICA-Stig – one of the most beloved characters from ICA’s commercial soap opera. Through a discourse analysis with a linguistic focus this study can provide one explanation to why the audience trust ICA-Stig and how he persuades them to do their grocery shopping at ICA. The study takes off from the rhetorical means of persuasion, ethos, logos and pathos, along with how ICA-Stig commits a linguistic intimisation and exploits intertextual strategies in order to approach the audience and their reality. The result shows that Stig uses personal pronouns in a way that enables him to commence intimisation in the sense of addressing his co-workers and the audience in a family-like manner. Regarding intertextuality, Stig uses a composition of different discourses in favour of his character since he is able to reach a large audience whilst nourishing the personal touch, combined with proving himself credible. Through his language, ICA-Stig reduces the gap between non-fiction and fiction, and in his transcendent role he becomes a factive character – neither real nor fictive.  This role allows him to become self-aware, which gives him an outside perspective on commercials in general. From a rhetorical perspective, the intimisation and intertextuality function as to have ICA-Stig relate to the reality, habits, and experiences of the audience. This creates the situation that Daddy-ICA has something to say to his ICA-family, which becomes the premise on which the commercial is founded. The intimisation enhances ICA-Stig’s ethos since he can prove to be a caring father and a knowledgeable shop manager. The appeals to pathos lie within his caring language. Appeals to logos can be found in the product placement of the groceries in an environment very much reminiscent of reality and everyday-life. Finally, the essay problematises the role commercial has and plays in today’s society due to the fact that this discourse is approaching the discourse of private life and communication, which, in turn,  paves the way for new ways of persuading the costumers.
Syftet med detta arbete är att genom en diskursanalys kartlägga hur språkbruket fungerar i övertalningen hos ICA-Stig ‒ en av de mest folkkära karaktärerna från ICA:s reklamsåpa. Med språket som utgångspunkt kan denna analys bidra till förklaringen varför tv-tittarna litar på ICA-Stig och hur han får dem att vilja handla på just ICA. Studien tar avstamp i tre utgångspunkter där retorikens medel för övertalning, ethos, logos och pathos, tas i beaktande jämte hur ICA-Stig begår en språklig intimisering med tittarna, samt utnyttjar intertextuella strategier för att närma sig deras verklighet. Resultatet visar att ICA-Stig tillämpar intimisering genom att bruka pronomen på ett sådant sätt att såväl tittare som medarbetare tilltalas familjärt. Intertextuellt kan ICA-Stig sägas utnyttja olika diskursmöten till sin fördel för att samtidigt nå en bred kundkrets och värna det intima, samt visa på sin trovärdighet. Genom språket tänjer han på gränserna mellan fiktion och fakta, och kan i sin diegesöverskridande roll sägas vara en faktiv karaktär ‒ varken overklig eller verklig. Faktionen gör det möjligt för ICA-Stig att visa självmedvetenhet, vilket ger distans till reklambranschen. Retoriskt sett, har intimiseringen och intertextualiteten funktionen av att låta Stig anknyta till publikens verklighet, vanor och erfarenheter. Det skapar förutsättningar så att reklamen grundas på premissen att Pappa ICA-Stig har något att berätta för sin ICA-familj. Intimiseringen ger ICA-Stig ethos eftersom han bevisar att han är en trygg och vårdande fadersgestalt, såväl som kunnig butikschef. Anspelningar till pathos finns i hans vårdande språkbruk. Logosargumenten ligger i varornas produktplacering i en verklighetsnära vardagsmiljö. Avslutningsvis problematiserar uppsatsen reklamens plats och funktion i samhället utifrån det faktum att reklamens diskurs närmar sig privatlivets diskurs och på så sätt dels kan påverka konsumenterna på helt andra sätt, dels bli en än större del i samhället och dess vardag.

Abstract:
Según el estudio realizado sobre el pasado histórico de la ciudad y sus atracciones culturales; la gran concurrencia de turistas nacionales y extranjeros que visitan el lugar y sobre todo la población residente, se encontró que en la zona no existe infraestructura ni espacios públicos que apropiadas para diversas actividades culturales que imposibilita que ésta tenga un desarrollo en su formación y difusión de la cultura dentro y fuera de la ciudad. Para contrarrestar la carencia en infraestructura se propone un proyecto arquitectónico de uso cultural que aborde programas y actividades en espacios semipúblicos y públicos al aire libre, que dinamice la cultura y recreación por medio de la interacción de la población residente del lugar, los visitantes y turistas, que servirá para reconocer la gran riqueza y diversidad cultural que se alberga, dando visibilidad a expresiones artísticas, talleres, fotografías y audiovisuales, exposiciones, difusión de libros, etc.; para así rescatar los valores más preciosos de un pueblo, que es su tradición, cultura y folklore, dentro de un espacio moderno y creativo que se adapte a las necesidades de la época.

Abstract:

Idag råder en hälsotrend vilket har lett till att det efterfrågas mer hälsosamma livsmedel än tidigare och detta skapar nya möjligheter för livsmedelsföretagen. Ica är den första livsmedelskedjan som har pågående hälsotrenden. Detta arbete beskriver hur Ica har tagit fram Gott liv och hur Ica har gått tillväga för att skapa en medvetenhet kring dessa produkter. Dessutom redogör arbetet för om budskapet har nått fram till konsumenterna, om det stimulerar dem till köp samt hur de uppfattar Gott liv. Arbetet grundar sig på en intervju med Icas dietist Christina Karlsson samt en konsumentundersökning med 100 deltagande konsumenter. Vårt resultat visar att det finns en hög medvetenhet kring Gott liv samt höga köpintentioner bland konsumenterna. Det är dock många av de tillfrågade konsumenterna som inte har provat produkterna än och därmed behöver konsumenterna troligtvis stimuleras till köp.

Abstract:
O gênero Staphylococcus está intimamente relacionado às infecções hospitalares onde existe a presença de implantes médicos, em especial os cateteres venosos centrais (CVC). Nestas infecções, a habilidade de formar biofilme é considerada um importante fator de virulência entre Staphylococcus. Biofilmes são agregados microbianos envolvidos por uma matriz polimérica extracelular que confere proteção contra a ação do sistema imunológico e ação dos antimicrobianos, dificultando assim o tratamento das infecções relacionadas a implantes médicos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: (i) avaliar a formação de biofilme em 222 isolados de Staphylococcus spp. de CVC através de dois métodos fenotípicos [ágar Congo Red (ACR) e microplacas com cristal violeta] e estabelecer possíveis marcadores genéticos de formação de biofilme, através da pesquisa dos genes icaA, icaD, aap e atlE, (ii) estabelecer um teste de suscetibilidade através da técnica de microdiluição em caldo para avaliar a concentração inibitória mínima de vancomicina necessária para erradicar o biofilme formado (CMEB), e comparar estes valores com os resultados obtidos através da técnica de concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) em crescimento planctônico.Das 222 amostras analisadas, encontramos 64,5% (143/222) de isolados formadores de biofilme. A detecção de biofilme em S. epidermidis foi de 64,5% e 54% pelos métodos de microplaca e ACR respectivamente, utilizando microplacas com cristal violeta como padrão ouro. Encontramos os genes icaA e icaD na grande maioria (92% - 132/143) dos isolados produtores, o que confirma a importância destes genes na formação de biofilme. Em um total de 37 S. aureus a produção de biofilme ocorreu em 81,1% (30/37) dos isolados, sendo que entre os MRSA a taxa foi de 88,9% e entre os MSSA de 78,6%. Os genes icaA e icaD estavam presentes em 25/30 das amostras formadoras de biofilme. Nos demais Staphylococcus spp. coagulase negativos não epidermidis foi observada uma taxa de produção de biofilme de 35,6% (6/19). Os isolados formadores de biofilme foram classificados em três categorias: forte, moderado e fraco. Entre os isolados forte e moderadamente produtores de biofilme foram observados uma maior razão CMEB / CIM (> 32) frente à vancomicina. Entre isolados biofilme negativos, não encontramos diferenças nos valores de CMEB e CIM. Embora a forma de crescimento em biofilme no processo infeccioso já tenha sido bem comprovada, os laboratórios de microbiologia clínica realizam testes de suscetibilidade em isolados na forma xii planctônica. Desta forma, os resultados obtidos neste estudo, indicam que a CIM pode não ser o parâmetro mais adequado para guiar a terapêutica. Sendo assim, é extremamente importante avaliar a suscetibilidade à vancomicina, em casos de infecções relacionadas à CVC, na forma de biofilme bacteriano (CMEB).
Staphylococcus is closely related to hospital infections, where the presence of medical implants exists, here represented by central venous catheter (CVC). In these infections, the ability to form biofilm is considered an important virulence factor among Staphylococcus. Biofilms are structured communities of microbial species involved by an extracellular polymeric matrix, which protects against the immunologic system and antimicrobial actions, making it harder to treat those infections related to medical implants. The goals of this study were: (i) to evaluate the biofilm formation in 222 isolates of Staphylococcus spp. of CVC through both phenotypic methods [agar Congo Red (ACR) and microtiter plates] and establish possible genetic markers of biofilm formation, through the research of the icaA, icaD, aap and atlE genes, by PCR, (ii) establish susceptibility in biofilm, through of the microdilution test to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration of vancomycin to eradicate the biofilm formed - Minimal Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC) and to compare these results with the values found to the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in growth planctonic. From the 222 analyzed samples, we found 64.5% (143/222) of isolates biofilm producers. The detection of the biofilm formation in the S. epidermidis was 64.5% and 54% by the microtiter plate and ACR methods, respectively, using microtiter plates as gold standard. We found icaA and icaD genes in most (92%) of the biofilm producing isolates, which confirms that those genes are essential for this kind of formation. In a total of 37 S. aureus, the biofilm production was observed in 81.1% (30/37) of the isolates. Concerning the MRSA we found 88.9% and among MSSA were observed 78.6% of biofilm-producing. The icaA and icaD genes were present in 25/30 of the samples biofilm producers. On the other Staphylococcus spp. coagulase negatives non-epidermidis, it was observed a number of 35.6% (6/19). The biofilm producing isolates were classified in three categories: strong, moderate and weak. Among the strong and moderate biofilm producing isolates, we could observe a higher ratio MBEC/MIC (>32) in relation to the vancomycin. Among negative biofilm isolates we found matching values for MBEC and MIC. Although the form of growth in biofilm among the infection process has already been well proven, the clinical microbiology laboratories perform susceptibility testing on isolates in the xiv planktonic form. Thus, the results of this study indicate that the MIC cannot be the most appropriate parameter to guide therapy. It is therefore extremely important to evaluate the susceptibility to vancomycin in cases of infection related to CVC, in the form of bacterial biofilms (MBEC).

Abstract:
La ricerca si propone d’indagare sul concetto di “congruità” riferito alle trasformazioni di specifici contesti urbani, e di definire quindi un metodo “non arbitrario” per la valutazione di opere esistenti o in progetto, al fine di riconoscerne il carattere di congruità o, al contrario, d’incongruità. Interventi d’inserimento e di trasformazione, alla scala del comparto urbanistico o anche alla scala edilizia, possono presentarsi come congrui o incongrui rispetto all’identità del luogo di appartenenza (organismo a scala urbana o territoriale). Congrua risulta l’opera che non si pone in (conclamato) contrasto rispetto ai caratteri identitari del contesto. Le definizioni d’incongruità e di opera incongrua, divengono il metro di giudizio del rapporto tra un intervento ed il suo contesto, e si applicano mediante una valutazione che sia metodologicamente fondata e verificata. La valutazione di congruità-incongruità può riferirsi a opere esistenti già realizzate, oppure a progetti di nuove opere; in questo secondo approccio il metodo di valutazione si configura come linea-guida per l’orientamento del progetto stesso in termini di congruità rispetto al contesto. In una fase iniziale la ricerca ha fissato i principi di base, con la definizione di ciò che deve intendersi per congruità e per profilo di congruità. La specifica di congruità, non potendosi basare su una consolidata letteratura (il concetto nei termini descritti è stato introdotto dalla legge 16/2002 della Regione Emilia-Romagna; la Regione stessa riconosce che il concetto è in fase di precisazione tramite sperimentazioni, studi e interventi pilota), muove dallo studio dei concetti di luogo, caratteri del luogo, identità del luogo, contesto urbano, trasformazione dell’ambiente costruito, tutela del patrimonio edilizio, sviluppo tipologico, e superfetazione incongrua. Questi concetti, pur mutuati da ambiti di ricerca affini, costituiscono i presupposti per la definizione di congruità delle trasformazioni di contesti urbani, rispetto all’identità del luogo, tramite la tutela e valorizzazione dei suoi caratteri tipologici costitutivi. Successivamente, la ricerca ha affrontato l’analisi di taluni casi-tipo di opere incongrue. A tale scopo sono stati scelti quattro casi-tipo d’interventi per rimozione di opere ritenute incongrue, indagando la metodologia di valutazione di congruità in essi applicata. Inoltre è stata sperimentata l’applicazione del metodo di valutazione per “categorie di alterazioni” tramite lo studio del centro storico di Reggio Emilia, assunto come contesto urbano campione. Lo studio analitico è sviluppato attraverso l’indagine del rapporto tra edifici e caratteri del contesto, individuando e classificando gli edifici ritenuti incongrui. Qui sono emersi i limiti del metodo di individuazione delle incongruità per categorie di alterazioni; di fatto le alterazioni definite a priori rispetto al contesto, determinano un giudizio arbitrario, in quanto disancorato dai caratteri del luogo. La definizione di ciò che è congruo o incongruo deve invece riferirsi a uno specifico contesto, e le alterazioni dei caratteri che rappresentano l’identità del luogo non possono definirsi a priori generalizzandone i concetti. Completando la ricerca nella direzione del risultato proposto, si è precisato il metodo di valutazione basato sulla coincidenza dei concetti di congruità e di pertinenza di fase, in rapporto allo sviluppo tipologico del contesto. La conoscenza del contesto nei suoi caratteri tipologici, è già metodo di valutazione: nella misura in cui sia possibile effettuare un confronto fra contesto ed opera da valutare. La valutazione non si pone come vincolo all’introduzione di nuove forme che possano rappresentare un’evoluzione dell’esistente, aggiornando il processo di sviluppo tipologico in relazione alle mutazioni del quadro esigenzialeprestazionale, ma piuttosto come barriera alle trasformazioni acritiche nei confronti del contesto, che si sovrappongano o ne cancellino inconsapevolmente i segni peculiari e identitari. In ultima analisi, ai fini dell’applicabilità dei concetti esposti, la ricerca indaga sulla convergenza tra metodo proposto e possibili procedure applicative; in questo senso chiarisce come sia auspicabile definire la congruità in relazione a procedure valutative aperte. Lo strumento urbanistico, inteso come sistema di piani alle diverse scale, è l’ambito idoneo a recepire la lettura della stratificazione dei segni indentitari rilevabili in un contesto; lettura che si attua tramite processi decisionali partecipati, al fine di estendere alla collettività la definizione d’identità culturale del luogo. La valutazione specifica di opere o progetti richiede quindi una procedura aperta, similmente alla procedura di valutazione in vigore presso le soprintendenze, basandosi sul concetto di responsabilità del progettista e del valutatore, in riferimento alla responsabilità della collettività, espressa invece nello strumento urbanistico. Infatti la valutazione di tipo oggettivo, basata sul riferimento a regolamenti o schemi precostituiti, confligge con il senso della valutazione metodologicamente fondata che, al contrario, è assunto teorico basilare della ricerca.

Abstract:
Si la regulación empresarial es abrumadora, el lograr iniciar un negocio radicará más en los contactos del nuevo empresario que en propias capacidades. Por el contrario, si las regulaciones son fáciles de cumplir y accesibles, cualquier persona con talento y buenas ideas puede ser capaz de crear y desarrollar una empresa formal. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo de investigación cuantitativa descriptiva tiene como objetivo identificar la brecha de tiempo y costo entre los procesos normados (estudio de gabinete), lo que sucede en la realidad (entrevistas) y medir la facilidad para hacer negocios en la ciudad de Ica. Para tal fin, se revisó la documentación pública vigente y se comparó con las entrevistas a empresarios, representantes de instituciones públicas de la ciudad de Ica para obtener las brechas de tiempo y costo de cada proceso. La metodología utilizada fue la del Banco Mundial Doing Business del cual se tomó los siguientes pilares de estudio, cuyo resultado obtenido para iniciar un negocio en la ciudad de Ica fueron: a) apertura de empresa: tiene que cumplir 16 procedimientos, toma 128 días , cuesta 20.02 % del ingreso per cápita, presentó una brecha de 38 días y 452 soles; b) permisos de construcción: tiene que cumplir 16 procedimientos, toma 209 días, cuesta 2.26% del valor de la propiedad, presentó una brecha de 15 días y 861 soles; c) obtención de electricidad; tiene que cumplir 10 procedimientos, toma 47 días, cuesta 125.09% del ingreso per cápita, presentó una brecha de seis días y 6,001 soles; d) registro de propiedad: tiene que cumplir ocho procedimientos, toma 36 días, cuesta 5.92% del valor de la propiedad, presentó una brecha de nueve días y 2,094 soles, y e) cumplimiento de contratos: tiene que cumplir tres procedimientos, toma 622 días, cuesta 24.9 % del valor demandado, presentó una brecha de 242 días y 1,500 soles. Este último aplica si existe un juicio por incumplimiento de contrato
If business regulation is overwhelming, the success of starting a business lies more in the contacts of the new entrepreneur than in their own capacities. On the contrary, if the regulations are accessible and easy to perform, anyone with talent and good ideas can be able to create and develop a formal company. In this sense, the present quantitative descriptive research aims to identify the time and cost gap between the normed processes (cabinet study), what actually happens (interviews) and measure the ease of doing business in the city of Ica. For this purpose, the current public documentation was reviewed and compared to interviews with businessmen, representatives of public institutions in the city of Ica to obtain the time and cost gaps of each process. The methodology used was the one of the "Doing Business" World Bank, of which the following pillars of study were taken, whose result obtained to start a business in the city of Ica were: a) Starting a business; has to accomplish with 16 procedures, takes 128 days, costs 20.02% of per capita income, presented a gap of 38 days and 452 Soles, b)Construction permits; has to accomplish with 16 procedures, takes 209 days, costs 2.26% of the value of the property, presented a gap of 15 days and 861 Soles, c) Obtaining electricity; has to accomplish 10 procedures, takes 47 days, costs 125.09% of per capita income, presented a gap of six days and 6,001 Soles, d)Registered ownership; has to comply with eight procedures, takes 36 days, costs 5.92% of the value of the property, presented a gap of nine days and 2,094 Soles, e)Contract fulfillment; has to accomplish with three procedures, takes 622 days, costs 24.9% of the value demanded, presented a gap of 242 days and 1,500 soles. The last one applies if there is a judgment for breach of contract

Abstract:

”One-to-one marketing” är en marknadsföringsidé där relationen mellan kund och leverantör står i fokus. Den kunskap om en specifik kund som leverantören får via relationen kan användas för att utforma erbjudanden anpassade för just den kunden. Erbjudandena är ämnade att påverka relationen positivt och göra kunden lojal till leverantören. Nya tekniska hjälpmedel har medfört att information om kundens preferenser kan lagras och bearbetas för att därefter användas till att utforma dessaerbjudanden. ”One-to-one marketing” är dock förknippat med vissa svårigheter och problem. Ett specialanpassat erbjudande kan uppfattas felaktigt och integritetskränkande mot kunden och på såsätt påverka relationen negativt. Vi har studerat ICAs ”One-to-one marketing”-kampanj ”Mina varor” för att se huruvida denna stärker relationen till ICAs stamkunder eller om kampanjen inverkat negativt på relationen.Vi har utifrån en enkätundersökning kommit fram till att vårt urval av respondenter främst haft åsikter om utformningen av rabatterna. De problem som uppfattats av stamkunderna i denna undersökning har främst varit relaterade till att rabatterna uppfattats som konstiga och inte representativa.Uppsatsen indikerar på att detta bör förbättras för att kampanjen ska bli mer effektiv. Integritetsproblemet kommenterades endast av ett fåtal respondenter och har i denna uppsats inte visat sig som ett stort problem. Inga stora risker att relationen har försämrats med stamkunderna kan ses och undersökningen visade generellt positiva svar för ICAs del. Kampanjen kan dock förbättras genom mer representativa personliga rabatter samt att ICA med ytterligare dialog kan binda lojala kunder starkaretill relationen.

Abstract:
Cette thèse concerne la conception d'une interface conversationnelle pour les agents assistants personnels. Ce travail s'inscrit dans un processus de développement d'un modèle générique d'agent assistant personnel. Après avoir examiné les divers types d'interfaces utilisées par des agents assistants, nous avons conclu que les interfaces conversationnelles étaient particulièrement bien adaptées à nos besoins. Cette thèse est donc focalisée sur la définition et la conception d'une interface conversationnelle pour un agent assistant, en tenant compte de plusieurs contraintes et hypothèses liées à l'agent lui-même, à son pilotage et à la nature du rapport utilisateur-agent, mais aussi aux caractéristiques des applications potentielles. Nous estimons qu'une interface conversationnelle spécialement conçue pour l'agent assistant, simplifiera son pilotage, entraînant une amélioration de la qualité de l'aide apportée par rapport aux interfaces classiques purement graphiques. Ceci diminuera la charge cognitive de l'utilisateur, puisque le travail d'interprétation et reconnaissance des intentions de ce dernier devient de responsabilité de la machine. Nous postulons aussi que le comportement intelligent de l'agent peut contribuer à l'amélioration de la performance liée à une telle interface, grâce à une politique d'affichage d'informations. De notre travail est né le concept d'interface conversationnelle pour une aide intelligente - ICAI. Une interface conversationnelle pour une aide intelligente est le résultat de la conjonction d'un mécanisme conversationnel en langage naturel parlé et de la gestion intelligente de ce mécanisme, permettant le déroulement d'un dialogue coopératif, et capable de gérer le déclenchement de plusieurs tâches à la demande de l'utilisateur, tout en n'exigeant qu'un minimum d'effort de la part de ce dernier. Notre approche s'appuie sur les ontologies, fil conducteur de nos travaux, qui nous permettent d'interpréter les messages, provenant de l'utilisateur ou d'ailleurs
This thesis concerns the design of a conversational interface for personal assistant agents. We studied the typical user interface used in personal assistants. We conclude that conversational interfaces are the one especially suitable for personal assistants. To design the conversational interface, we took in account several constraints related to the agent itself and the potential applications. As the result of this approach we expect to improve the quality of assistance and to reduce the user's cognitive load. Ln this thesis we present a new concept called ICAI: A Conversational Interface for an Intelligent Assistance. An ICAI is the result of the conjunction of a conversational spoken natural language mechanism and an intelligent management of such mechanism, enabling a cooperative dialogue between the user and the assistant agent. Our approach is based on ontologies that allow us to interpret messages from human and artificial agents

Introdução: A hanseníase é uma doença infecciosa sistêmica de evolução crônica, de caráter endêmico no Brasil, apresentando em 2005 coeficiente de prevalência de 1,48 casos por 10.000 habitantes e, de 30 a 50.000 casos novos diagnosticados por ano, constituindo um problema de saúde pública por causar incapacidade física permanente. A doença caracteriza-se por processo inflamatório de resposta complexa e dano tissular envolvendo várias células do sistema imune e mediadores inflamatórios diretamente relacionados ao endotélio vascular. Objetivos: Este estudo se propõe a determinar os níveis séricos do marcador de ativação endotelial ICAM-1 solúvel nas formas clínicas polares da hanseníase, comparando-a com grupo controle. Casuística e Métodos: Foi realizado estudo prospectivo e transversal no ambulatório de dermatologia do Hospital Escola Dr. José Carneiro – UNCISAL no período de agosto de 2005 a agosto de 2006. Foram incluídos 28 pacientes e classificados em tuberculóides (MHT) 12 pacientes e, lepromatosos (MHL) 16 pacientes de acordo com os critérios da Organização Mundial de Saúde e exame histopatológico conforme os critérios de Ridley-Jopling. O grupo controle foi constituído por doadores voluntários saudáveis. Na avaliação laboratorial foi utilizado kit sICAM-1 R&D Systems, Inc. utilizando a técnica de ELISA. Na análise estatística foram utilizados os testes de Análise de Variância (ANOVA), Qui-quadrado, teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, teste de homogeneidade de variâncias e comparações múltiplas de Tukey. Resultados: A idade dos pacientes foi de 45,9 17,3 anos e dos indivíduos do grupo controle foi de 48,3 9,3 anos. O gênero foi de 16 (57,17%) feminino e 12 (42,85%) masculino e nos indivíduos do grupo controle foi de 21 (87,5%) feminino e 03 (12,5%) masculino. A concentração de ICAM-1, segundo o modelo ANOVA, foi diferente nos três grupos de pacientes (p<0,001) Através do procedimento de comparações múltiplas de Tukey, concluiu-se que a média no grupo MHL é maior do que nos outros dois grupos (p<0,05), entretanto, não foi detectada diferença entre as médias dos grupos controle e MHT (p>0,05). Conclusões: Os níveis de ICAM-1 foram comparativamente mais elevados no grupo MHL que no grupo MHT ou controle. Não houve diferença significativa entre o grupo controle e o grupo MHT.
Introduction: Hansen’s disease is a systemic infectious disease with chronic evolution, endemic to Brazil. In 2005, there was a coefficient of prevalence of 1,48 cases per 10,000 inhabitants. Between 30 and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed per year, representing a problem for public health because of the permanent physical incapacitation. The disease presents an inflammatory process of complex response and tissue damage involving several cells of the immune system and the inflammatory mediators directly related to the vascular endothelium. Objectives: The objective of the present study is to determine the seric levels of the endothelial activation soluble marker ICAM-1 in the polar clinical forms of Hansen’s disease, in comparison to a control group. Methods: A prospective and transversal study was performed at the dermatology out-patient clinic at the Hospital Escola Dr. José Carneiro – UNICISAL, in the period between August of 2005 and August of 2006. 28 patients were included and classified under tuberculoid (MHT) and lepromatous (MHL) according to the criteria of the World Health Organization and exams based on Ridley-Jopling’s criteria. The control group was formed by healthy voluntary donors. An sICAM-1 R&D Systems, Inc. set was used in the laboratory tests, with the ELISA technique. Variance Analysis (ANOVA), Qui-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, variance homogeneity and Tukey multiple comparisons tests were used the statistical analysis. Results: The age of the patients was 45,9 ± 17,3 and for the individuals in the control group it was 48,3 ± 9,3. There were 16 women (57.17%) and 12 men (42.85%) and in the individuals in the control group 21 were women (87.5%) and 03 were men (12.5%). The concentration of ICAM-1, according to the ANOVA model, was different in the three groups of patients (p<0.001). Through the multiple comparisons Tukey procedure, we concluded that the average in the MHL group was higher than in the other two groups (p<0.05); however, no difference was detected among the averages in the control group and the MHT (p>0.05). Conclusion: The ICAM-1 levels were comparatively higher in the MHL group than in the MHT or in the control group. There was no significant difference between the control and the MHT groups.

Abstract:
Syftet med detta arbete var att få en djupare förståelse för vad som motiverar ICA-handlare, vilka risker och utmaningar som finns i en organisation som ICA med flera lokala ägare och chefer, samt hur man hanterar dessa. Detta är gjort ur ett perspektiv baserat på teorier gällande motivation och incitament hos individer inom en organisation. Våra slutsatser är att ICA-handlare drivs av både intern och extern motivation i olika delar av deras karriär, samt av olika grader av makt och viljan att åstadkomma. Vi ser också att lokala chefer kan ha mål och incitament som står i konflikt med organisationens övergripande mål. Vi kommer också fram till hur man kan förebygga och hantera situationen som uppkommer då ledare blir alltför bekväma i sitt agerande och inte längre bidrar på bästa sätt.

El presente informe final, expone las características y tareas desarrolladas durante la experiencia profesional realizada en el marco de la asignatura “Práctica Profesional Supervisada". La experiencia laboral, fue llevada a cabo en el Instituto de Ciencias Ambientales (ICA), dependiente de la Secretaría de Desarrollo Institucional y Territorial de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, durante el período comprendido entre los meses de Agosto y Diciembre de 2017. El Instituto de Ciencias Ambientales (ICA) trabaja con el objeto de brindar un enfoque multidisciplinario a la búsqueda, proposición, implementación y seguimiento de las respuestas sociales, educativas, técnico-jurídicas y económicamente viables para los crecientes problemas ambientales que comprometen la preservación de la calidad ambiental. Esto exige la concurrencia de las diferentes áreas del conocimiento de nuestra Universidad . El Programa de Movilidad Sostenible centra su trabajo en la implementación de una Movilidad Sostenible en Mendoza, cuyo elemento esencial es la calidad de vida de las personas y el cuidado del Ambiente; así como en la generación del conocimiento sobre el desarrollo espacial y regional para la creación de herramientas en la toma y adopción de decisiones. Se articula con el sector público y privado, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, instituciones científicas y educativas a nivel local, nacional e internacional, con el objeto de promover procesos participativos y consensuados que contribuyan a su gestión. El objetivo principal de estudiar la movilidad en el campus universitario es proponer soluciones que estén en línea con el paradigma de la Movilidad Sustentable. Dicho paradigma se basa en tres pilares fundamentales: la inclusión social, viabilidad económica y sostenibilidad ambiental. Además tiene como fin disminuir las consecuencias negativas del modelo de transporte basado en el automóvil particular: contaminación del aire, segregación espacial, dispersión de la mancha urbana, consumo excesivo de energía, aumento de los tiempos de viaje por congestión vehicular, etc.

Abstract:
“A mediados del siglo XIX en el Perú habían sembradas alrededor de 150 000.00 hectáreas de vid destinadas a la producción de Pisco. Este nivel de producción fue disminuyendo paulatinamente hasta llegar a las 11500.00 hectáreas cultivadas en el año 2002, por falta de incentivos y substitución de cultivos por otros más rentables a corto plazo.”1 Habiéndose constatado esta realidad, en el 2003 el gobierno peruano decidió promocionar el incremento de las áreas de cultivo de la vid y su exportación. El esfuerzo del gobierno y de los empresarios vitivinícolas ha llevado a que hoy existan normas y reglamentos para la producción del Pisco, que exista la denominación de su origen, y que las exportaciones desde el 2007 hayan aumentando considerablemente. Esto ha generado al día de hoy que podamos decir que el éxito del Pisco a nivel mundial está llevando al Perú al inicio de una revolución vitivinícola. Sin embargo, este éxito no se ve reflejado en la infraestructura del producto, en sus bodegas, su arquitectura e imagen. En estos aspectos pareciera que aún no salimos de la época colonial de la típica casa hacienda, que cuenta con un ambiente para destilar, y otro para el embotellado, o de las típicas naves industriales que solo responden a la necesidad de producción y hasta casos en situaciones peores. Si observamos países vitivinícolas como lo son Chile, Argentina o España, veremos que hay una preocupación tan importante, por la producción de vinos de calidad como por ofrecer un circuito turístico de alta calidad a partir del mismo. Lo que se ha hecho es ofrecerle al turista una experiencia completa a través de una visita a una bodega, tomando en cuenta la arquitectura como un factor determinante de esta experiencia, y en ella dar servicios y actividades como lo son los tours por la bodega, las catas, la enseñanza, el hospedaje etc.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen behandlar ICA:s egna märkesvaror (EMV) och dess senaste satsning på lokalproducerat: ”Smak på lokalt”. I uppsatsen undersöks hur ICA kan förstärka sitt varumärke genom just EMV och lokalproducerat.

Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med olika personer inom ICA-koncernen, dessa personer har valts ut utifrån deras expertisområden; EMV, Sortiment & Inköp, Kategori och ”Smak på lokalt”.

Resultatet visar på att ICA arbetar aktivt med att stärka lojaliteten till företaget, dess varumärke samt att öka kundlojaliteten. Detta sker genom kontinuerlig lansering av nya produkter, unika produktlinjer samt satsningen ”Smak på lokalt” som har visat sig vara mycket framgångsrik. ICA:s senaste EMV satsning; ICA I Love Eco har även den fått mycket positiv respons.

ICA är noggranna med kvalitetssäkring av deras produkter och kräver att producenterna skall använda sig av ICA, godkänd standard. ICA försöker ständigt att förbättra kvalitén och priset på sina produkter för att öka kundlojaliteten till EMV. Satsningen på ”Smak på lokalt” har flera utgångspunkter. Det handlar om att man möter olika behov hos konsumenten, bra erbjudanden som kan stärka varumärket.

Abstract:
Molteplici studi, portati a termine di recente in Europa ed oltreoceano, hanno focalizzato l’attenzione sulle problematiche indotte dal trasporto merci in ambito urbano e contribuito ad identificarne possibili soluzioni (city logistics). Le aree urbane, dovrebbero idealmente essere luoghi ove abitare, svolgere attività economiche, sociali e ricreative. Esse possono vedere compromessa la loro predisposizione a tali scopi anche a causa del crescente traffico delle merci, il cui trasporto è effettuato principalmente su gomma, per via delle brevi distanze da coprire e delle carenze infrastrutturali. I veicoli commerciali, ad eccezione di quelli di ultima generazione, incidono negativamente sulla qualità dell’ambiente urbano, generando inquinamento atmosferico e acustico. La politica del “just in time”, che prevede l’assenza di magazzini di stoccaggio delle merci, incrementa i movimenti commerciali. Nella presente tesi vengono trattati alcuni aspetti logistici di regolamentazione della sosta e degli accessi per i mezzi di trasporto merci, in grado di rendere più efficiente la distribuzione dei beni, mitigando le problematiche indotte dal traffico e, quindi, salvaguardando la qualità di vita nei centri cittadini.

Abstract:
Bien que la description qualitative et phénoménologique de la migration cellulaire soient décrites de façon minutieuse dans son approche holistique, des mécanismes de base et connus depuis longtemps n’ont pas encore été explorés quantitativement avec une approche "bottom-up". Un de ces exemples est le comportement migratoire en deux dimensions des lym- phocytes T effecteurs humains. Alors que leur comportement in vivo est déjà connu depuis longtemps et décrit qualitativement, une approche quantitative in vitro offre de nombreuses perspectives. Les interactions des intégrines LFA-1 et VLA-4 avec leurs ligands respectifs ICAM-1 et VCAM-1 ont déjà été étudiées et sont les principales molécules impliquées dans la migration des lymphocytes T effecteurs. Du fait de leur importance dans l’organisation de la mobilité, ces deux protéines sont les principaux objets d’étude de cette thèse. La majorité des travaux précédents ont été réalisés en observant les lymphocytes T dans des tissus vi- vants dont la composition et la densité des molécules d’adhésion ne peuvent ni être déterminées ni contrôlées de façon précise. Nous avons developpés des substrats artifi- ciels permettant d’imiter et de contrôler ces caractéristiques adhésives afin d’examiner et de relier les propriétés physiques des cellules tels que la vitesse ou l’index de mi- gration orientée, avec une réponse cellulaire donnée ainsi que d’associer un type de mouvement avec des interactions intégrines-ligands spécifiques. Pour aller plus loin, nous avons à nouveau analysé la conformation des intégrines puis l’avons modulé pour altérer leur affinité et changer les propriétés précédemment décrites
The ability of T-lymphocytes to migrate to sites of inflammation towards all different types of tissues based on the interplay between biochemical and mechanical signaling is unique among human cells and underlines the importance of their complex motility apparatus relying on multiple stimuli. A crucial part within the leukocyte adhesion cascade is the firm attachment of the immune cell to the inner wall of the blood vessel and the subsequent migration along its surface until crossing the endothelial cell barrier. These migrational steps are guided not only by the shear stress to which the cell is exposed to by the flow of blood, but also by expression of adhesion molecules, the most important among them are ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 and their integrin counterparts LFA-1 and VLA-4, expressed by the immune cell. These proteins are crucial not only in a mechanically anchoring sense, but they also play a part in an intracellular signaling process leading to a change in migrational direction, overall cell affinity and phenotype. Few is known about how all components shape the movement behaviour on a quantitative level, raising questions about hierarchy, affinity and density of the involved proteins. Besides enhancing the general knowledge of the mechanisms of T-cell migration, the role of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in various diseases makes this study a promising endeavour. The approach taken in this thesis is to dissect and recompose the important adhesion molecules on a laminal flow chamber to link the cell’s response to them to specific movement properties and answer the questions addressed above

Abstract:
Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Severe malaria in patients infected with the most deadly species, Plasmodium falciparum, involves sequestration of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the microvasculature, a process involving the interaction of numerous parasite and host factors. The highly variable gene family var encodes PfEMP1 proteins which are thought to be responsible for the majority of endothelial cell binding via receptors such as CD36, ICAM-1 and EPCR. To date, knowledge of the specific PfEMP1 domains that mediate binding to these receptors has emerged from the study of two reference parasite strains IT4 and 3D7. The aim of this study is to identify and characterise new ICAM-1 binding var genes from several culture-adapted ICAM-1-selected patient isolates. Sequencing var genes is complicated by their high variability within the 50-60 gene copies per genome and the absence of overlap between var repertoires of different isolates. We test the predictive powers of a new var gene database of > 62,000 var genes generated by the Pf3k genome sequencing project. We find database matches to be a useful starting point for primer design in this targeted sequencing approach. However, key differences between database genes and those amplified from the patient isolates highlights the need for experimental validation. We perform sequence analysis of var genes from three patient isolates, BC12, J1 and PCM7, and identify their PfEMP1 domain structures. We extensively characterise the DBLβ domains, which are responsible for ICAM-1 binding, of these genes by phylogenetic and homology block analysis and compare them to known ICAM-1 binding DBLβ domains. We express two of the newly identified DBLβ domains as recombinant proteins and analyse their binding to ICAM-1. Using SPR assays, we show that the recombinant DBLβ domains of J1a and BC12a bind ICAM-1D1D5 with nanomolar affinity. We compared their binding to the previously characterised IT4var13DBLβ and studied the binding of all three DBLβ domains to four ICAM-1 mutant proteins. Residues K29, L42 and L44 are essential for ICAM-1 binding of all three DBLβ domains, whereas S22 is essential for J1aDBLβ and BC12aDBLβ binding but not IT4var13DBLβ binding. These results have important implications for the design of anti-disease therapies targeting severe malaria.

Abstract:
Ica es una de las regiones peruanas con mayor crecimiento y desarrollo en los últimos 30 años. Los indicadores económicos, sociales, demográficos y culturales lo demuestran. De la misma manera la Región Ica busca que esta bonanza se mantenga en el futuro y que el crecimiento siga igual de sostenido o incluso sea mayor. Para lograr esto, la Región Ica se ha basado en 4 pilares económicos fundamentales: (1) la industria extractiva a través del gas licuado de petróleo que viene de la Región Cusco y del hierro que es extraído de Marcona; (2) la industria de la manufactura que recae en la exportación agroindustrial y de prendas de algodón; (3) la industria agropecuaria que lidera el país con productos como el espárrago, la palta, uva, mangos, arándanos, entre muchos otros; (4) finalmente, la pesquería, que está fortalecida por el aporte en harinas y conservas de pescado. El objetivo del presente plan estratégico es determinar la situación actual de la Región Ica y cuál será su situación en 10 años (Propuesta 2027), y en base a este diagnóstico poder establecer objetivos a largo plazo y que a través de estrategias claras y medibles se pueda llegar a esta situación futura esperada. La región Ica se encuentra ubicada estratégicamente en el centro de la costa peruana con salida al mar, con una población con mano de obra calificada y semi calificada atractiva para el inversionista; cercanía vía terrestre con Lima y muy pronto con toda la nación e incluso internacionalmente con la construcción del aeropuerto internacional de Pisco; tierras agrícolas muy fértiles a pesar de encontrarse en el desierto con tecnología de riego moderna; excelente clima todo el año, entre muchas otras fortalezas. La propuesta del plan estratégico será potenciar aquellas industrias en las que Ica es líder y que son las más rentables como la exportación de espárrago y palta, pero también activar (bajo un sustento de rentabilidad) la industria del turismo, sobre todo el de aventura en la región, el cual no sólo es muy rentable, sino que traerá beneficio sostenible a toda la región.
Ica is one of the Peruvian regions with the highest growth and development in the last 30 years. The economic, social, demographic and cultural indicators prove it. In the same way the Ica region seeks that this bonanza is sustainable in the future and that growth continues in a sustained way or even greater. To achieve this, the Ica region has been based on 4 fundamental economic pillars: (1) The extractive industry through the liquefied petroleum gas that comes from the Cusco region and the iron extracted from Marcona. (2) The manufacturing industry that relies on the agroindustry exports and cotton garments. (3) The agricultural industry that leads the country with products such as asparagus, avocado, grapes, mangoes, blueberries, among many others. (4) Finally, the fishery, which is strengthened by the contribution in fish flour and canned fish. The objective of this strategic plan is to determine what is Ica today and how we want it to be in 10 years (Proposal 2027), and based on this diagnosis or current photo, establish long-term objectives that through clear and measurable strategies can reach this expected future situation. The Ica region has everything to make this a reality: it is strategically located in the center of the Peruvian coast with access to the sea, with a population of skilled and semi-skilled labor attractive to investors, close by land to Lima and very soon with the whole nation and even internationally with the construction of the international airport of Pisco, very fertile agricultural land despite being in the desert with modern irrigation technology, excellent weather all year round, among many other fortresses. The proposal of the strategic plan will be to promote those industries of which we are leaders and which are the most profitable as the export of asparagus and avocado, but also activate (under a profitability rationale) the tourism industry, especially the adventure tourism in our region, which is not only very profitable but will bring sustainable benefit to the entire region.

Abstract:
Logistik är den del av ett företag som påverkar företagets resultat på ett mycket betydande sätt. Kunden ställer krav på att få sin produkt levererad på en viss tidpunkt och om produkten då inte levereras på utsatt datum kan detta leda till en förlorad kund och därmed förlorade framtida inkomster. För att lyckas leverera till kund på utsatt tid krävs det att många processer fungerar väl ihop och att ett välplanerat system är implementerat. Denna rapport är skriven på ICA Sverige ABs centrallager i Kungälv och handlar om effektivisering. Mer specifik effektivisering av användningen av truckar. Genom att förkorta körsträckor och eliminera icke-värdeskapande körsträckor kan man få ett mer effektivt lager. Jag har samlat in relevant data så som genomsnittlig sträcka per order samt information om vilka lagergångar som är mest trafikerade för att veta vart i lagret som problemet finns och varför det uppstått. Zon-indelning är en metod som är känd för att minska körsträckor på ett lager. En implementering av metoden underlättas också av att ICA i dagsläget har sorterat artiklarna på ett sådant sätt att de första tio lagergångarna är fyllda med SRS-backar. Det är en metod som inte bara förkortar körsträckor utan och effektiviserar materialhantering. Teoridelen av arbetet görs för att får en större insikt i ämnen logistik samt för att hitta och benämna de metoder som påverkar logistiken i ett företag. Olika typer av materialhanteringsmetoder, lagringsmetoder, artikelplaceringsmetoder är exempel på vad som beskrivs djupare. Analysen har gjort för att analysera och koppla samman de teorier som använts till de problem som behandlas i rapporten men även reflektioner och tankar kring varför teorierna har använts. Rapporten har skrivits på ICA Sverige ABs centrallager i Kungälv och har koncentrerats till färskvaruavdelningen där problemet med långa körsträckor har uppkommit.
Logistics is that part of a company that affects the company’s efficiency in a considerable way. The customer has demands on the product to have it delivered on a specific date and if the product isn’t delivered on that date the consequences may result in a loss of a customer and therefore a loss of income. To be able to deliver the product on the specific date to the customer there’s a couple of processes that need to work flawlessly together and that a well worked out system is implemented. This report is written at ICA Sverige AB’s central warehouse is Kungälv, Sweden. It surrounds the subject of efficiency in warehousing and usage of lift trucks. Thru minimizing the driving distance of the lift trucks and eliminating not-value processes you can create a more efficient warehouse. I’ve gathered information regarding average distance per completed order and information regarding which of the warehouse aisles is the busiest to get an insight in where the problem is and why it has occurred. Zone-picking is a method that is known to minimize lift truck distances in a warehouse. An implementation of this method at ICA is facilitated by the fact that the articles already are sorted in a way that the first ten aisles are filled with plastic crates. It’s a method that not only minimizes the lift truck distances but also make the material handling more efficient. The theory part of the report is done to get a bigger insight in the subject of logistics but also to find and mention methods that affect the logistics in a company. Different types of material handling methods, storage methods and article placement methods are examples of methods describe. The analyzing part of the report has been done to connect mentioned theories to main problems that the report is surrounding but also includes reflections and thoughts about why the theories have been used. The report has been written at ICA Sverige AB’s central warehouse in Kungälv and has been focused on the fresh food compartment of the warehouse where problems with long distances for the lift trucks has occurred.
