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: <ul type="disc">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.<br>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: <ul type="disc">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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
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.<br>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.

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
Fertility declines with advancing age and the number of couples seeking infertility treatment at an older age is constantly increasing. A top quality embryo is believed to have the highest potential for implantation and development into a child. A better understanding of the relative importance of patient and treatment characteristics and of embryo quality could help to optimise the existing therapeutic schemes and the safety of in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).
In this work, databases of five Finnish infertility clinics were studied retrospectively. Data on treatments performed in the years 1994–2005 were collected. A total of 19,000 treatment cycles were analysed. Special attention was paid to the relative significance of the transfer of top quality embryos with regards to pregnancy, miscarriage, live birth and cost of treatment in the general IVF/ICSI patient population and in groups with expected poor outcome.
The results showed that the transfer of a top quality embryo is associated with a better chance of pregnancy and live birth. However, it does not diminish the probability of miscarriage. Both low and high BMI increase the miscarriage rate. Advancing age and a positive history of previous miscarriages are also associated with a higher probability of miscarriage. In addition, the need for hormonal substitution in cases of frozen-embryo transfer is a risk factor of miscarriage, probably because of suboptimal endometrial function.
Since the transfer of several embryos leads to multiple pregnancies, which are associated with a high risk of maternal and fetal complications, elective single embryo transfer (eSET) of a top quality embryo allows all additional good quality embryos to be frozen and transferred later in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. The present work demonstrates that eSET is a safe treatment strategy at least until the age of 40. However, it might not be performed in women with fewer than four collected oocytes, since the prognosis might remain poor even if the response is improved in a following cycle.
When eSET is applied routinely and on a large scale, it diminishes treatment costs while increasing the number of deliveries occurring at term, making IVF/ICSI at the same time safer and more affordable even to patients without access to reimbursed IVF treatment.

Full textAbstract:
Les amplificateurs paramétriques Josephson (JPA) se sont révélés être un outil indispensablepour l’étude expérimentale de dispositifs quantiques dans le régime micro-onde ; car ilsrajoutent uniquement le minimum de bruit imposé par la mécanique quantique[1]. Cependant,ces amplificateurs sont beaucoup plus difficiles à utiliser et optimiser que leurs homologuesclassiques. Récemment, plusieurs expériences réalisées avec des circuits supraconducteurs,composés d’une jonction Josephson polarisée en tension en série avec un résonateur microonde,ont montré qu’une paire de Cooper peut traverser la barrière de la jonction par effettunnel en émettant un ou plusieurs photons avec une énergie totale de 2e fois la tensionappliquée. Dans cette thèse, nous montrerons qu’un tel circuit permet de mettre en place unamplificateur micro-onde préservant la phase que nous appelons « Amplificateur basé sur letunneling inélastique de paires de Cooper » (ICTA). Il est alimenté par une tension continueet peut fonctionner avec un bruit très proche de la limite quantique.Nous commencerons en présentant le principe du fonctionnement de l’ICTA. Par analogieavec la théorie quantique des JPAs[2], nous avons étudié les performances de cet amplificateurcomme le gain, la bande passante et le bruit. Ensuite, nous présenterons la premièrepreuve expérimentale d’une amplification proche de la limite quantique sans utilisation d’unepompe micro-onde externe, mais simplement d’une tension continue dans une configurationextrêmement simple. Ces mesures ont été faites sur des échantillons avec des jonctionsen aluminium, dénommés ICTA de première génération. Selon nos résultats théoriques etexpérimentaux, nous avons conçu des circuits hyperfréquences où l’impédance présentéeà la jonction dépend de fréquences spécifiques afin d’optimiser les performances de notreamplificateur. Ces échantillons, dénommés ICTA de seconde génération, ont été fabriquésavec du nitrure de niobium. Une amélioration significative du gain et du bruit a été prouvée.Un tel amplificateur, alimenté par une simple tension continue, pourrait rendre la mesurede signaux micro-ondes au niveau du photon unique beaucoup plus faciles et permettred’intégrer plusieurs amplificateurs sur une seule puce. Il pourrait donc être un élémentimportant pour la lecture de qubit dans les processeurs quantiques à grande échelle<br>Josephson parametric amplifiers (JPA), have proven to be an indispensable tool for awide range of experiments on quantum devices in the microwave frequency regime, becausethey provide the lowest possible noise. However, JPAs remain much more difficult to use andoptimize than conventional microwave amplifiers. Recent experiments with superconductingcircuits consisting of a DC voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with a resonator,showed that a tunneling Cooper pair can emit one or several photons with a total energyof 2e times the applied voltage. In this thesis we show that such q circuit can be used toimplement a new type of phase preserving microwave amplifier, which we call InelasticCooper pair Tunneling Amplifier (ICTA). It is powered by a simple DC bias and offers nearquantum-limited noise performance.We start this work by presenting a brief and simple picture of the basic ICTA operatingprinciples. In analogy with the quantum theory of JPAs, we calculate the performances ofthis amplifier such as the gain, bandwidth and noise. Then, we present the first experimentalproof that amplification close to the quantum limit is possible without microwave drive inan extremely simple setup. These measurements are made on a first generation of samplesbased on aluminium junctions. According to our theoretical and experimental results, wehave designed microwave circuits presenting specific frequency-dependent impedances tothe junction in order to optimize the performances of our amplifier. This second generationof ICTA samples is fabricated from niobium nitride and provide significantly lower noiseand higher gain.We expect that once fully optimized, such an amplifier, powered by simple DC voltagescould then make measuring microwave signals at the single photon level much easier andallow to deploy many amplifiers on a chip. It could therefore be an important ingredient forqubit readout in large-scale quantum processors

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.</p>

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.

Full textAbstract:
Wireless micro-sensors can enjoy popularity in biomedical drug-delivery treatments and tire-pressure monitoring systems because they offer in-situ, real-time, non-intrusive processing capabilities. However, miniaturized platforms severely limit the energy of onboard batteries and shorten the lifespan of electronic systems. Ambient energy is an attractive alternative because the energy from light, heat, radio-frequency (RF) radiation, and motion can potentially be used to continuously replenish an exhaustible reservoir. Of these sources, solar light produces the highest power density, except when supplied from indoor lighting, under which conditions the available power decreases drastically. Harnessing thermal energy is viable, but micro-scale dimensions severely limit temperature gradients, the fundamental mechanism from which thermo piles draw power. Mobile electronic devices today radiate plenty of RF energy, but still, the available power rapidly drops with distance. Harvesting kinetic energy may not compete with solar power, but in contrast to indoor lighting, thermal, and RF sources, moderate and consistent vibration power across a vast range of applications is typical. Although operating conditions ultimately determine which kinetic energy-harvesting method is optimal, piezoelectric transducers are relatively mature and produce comparatively more power than their counterparts such as electrostatic and electromagnetic kinetic energy transducers.
The presented research objective is to develop, design, simulate, fabricate, prototype, test, and evaluate CMOS ICs that harvest ambient kinetic energy in periodic and non-periodic vibrations using a small piezoelectric transducer to continually replenish an energy-storage device like a capacitor or a rechargeable battery. Although vibrations in surrounding environment produce abundant energy over time, tiny transducers can harness only limited power from the energy sources, especially when mechanical stimulation is weak. To overcome this challenge, the presented piezoelectric harvesters eliminate the need for a rectifier which necessarily imposes threshold limits and additional losses in the system. More fundamentally, the presented harvesting circuits condition the transducer to convert more electrical energy for a given mechanical input by increasing the electromechanical damping force of the piezoelectric transducer. The overall aim is to acquire more power by widening the input range and improving the efficiency of the IC as well as the transducer. The presented technique in essence augments the energy density of micro-scale electronic systems by scavenging the ambient kinetic energy and extends their operational lifetime.
This dissertation reports the findings acquired throughout the investigation. The first chapter introduces the applications and challenges of micro-scale energy harvesting and also reviews the fundamental mechanisms and recent developments of various energy-converting transducers that can harness ambient energy in light, heat, RF radiation, and vibrations. Chapter 2 examines various existing piezoelectric harvesting circuits, which mostly adopt bridge rectifiers as their core. Chapter 3 then introduces a bridge-free piezoelectric harvester circuit that employs a switched-inductor power stage to eliminate the need for a bridge rectifier and its drawbacks. More importantly, the harvester strengthens the electrical damping force of the piezoelectric device and increases the output power of the harvester. The chapter also presents the details of the integrated-circuit (IC) implementation and the experimental results of the prototyped harvester to corroborate and clarify the bridge-free harvester operation.
One of the major discoveries from the first harvester prototype is the fact that the harvester circuit can condition the piezoelectric transducer to strengthen its electrical damping force and increase the output power of the harvester. As such, Chapter 4 discusses various energy-investment strategies that increase the electrical damping force of the transducer. The chapter presents, evaluates, and compares several switched-inductor harvester circuits against each other. Based on the investigation in Chapter 4, an energy-investing piezoelectric harvester was designed and experimentally evaluated to confirm the effectiveness of the investing scheme. Chapter 5 explains the details of the IC design and the measurement results of the prototyped energy-investing piezoelectric harvester. Finally, Chapter 6 concludes the dissertation by revisiting the challenges of miniaturized piezoelectric energy harvesters and by summarizing the fundamental contributions of the research. With the same importance as with the achievements of the investigation, the last chapter lists the technological limits that bound the performance of the proposed harvesters and briefly presents perspectives from the other side of the research boundary for future investigations of micro-scale piezoelectric energy harvesting.

“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.<br>Tesis

La ICSI és una tècnica de reproducció assistida molt eficient, però la fallada de fecundació (FF) pot ocórrer en un 1-3% dels cicles. La FF té un elevat impacte en els pacients i és molt difícil de predir, diagnosticar i gestionar a nivell clínic. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és caracteritzar i identificar els mecanismes espermàtics responsables de la FF en ICSI.
S'han estudiat les principals proteïnes de l’espermatozoide implicades en l'activació de l’oòcit: PAWP i PLCZ1. Els nivells de PAWP, la seva ubicació subcel·lular i la seqüència gènica no van mostrar alteracions en pacients amb FF. D'altra banda, vam identificar mutacions en PLCZ1 en un alt percentatge de pacients amb fallada d'activació de l’oòcit (12/22, 55%), l’efecte deleteri de les quals va ser determinat per anàlisi funcional (injectant cRNA de PLCZ1 en oòcits humans madurats in vitro).
La longitud telomèrica en espermatozoides (STL) es va determinar en 60 mostres de donant de semen utilitzats en 676 cicles d'ICSI, permetent-nos d'aïllar estadísticament la STL del factor femení. Tot i així, no es va trobar cap efecte significatiu de la STL en les taxes de fertilitat i embaràs.
A més, per primera vegada, es va dur a terme un estudi de proteòmica comparant mostres de semen amb una bona fecundació (n-8) i mostres amb FF repetitiva post-ICSI (n-4). Aquesta anàlisi va identificar 11 proteïnes diferencialment expressades entre pacients amb FF i controls, algunes d'elles validades per Western blot, com DLAT i PSMA1. Mitjançant anàlisis funcionals addicionals es va observar que les mostres espermàtiques de pacients amb FF tenen menor activitat mitocondrial i menys activitat proteasomal que els controls.
Finalment, mitjançant l'anàlisi de fins a 125 cicles de ICSI amb FF, vam poder observar que una sola evidència prèvia de FF no és una justificació suficient per recomanar l'activació assistida de l’oòcit (AOA).
En resum, aquesta tesi inclou una àmplia caracterització molecular de mostres de pacients amb FF, i proporciona una llista de marcadors i eines amb potencial ús a nivell clínic.<br>ICSI is a very efficient assisted reproduction technique, but fertilization failure (FF) occurs in 1-3% of cycles. FF has a high impact on patients and is very difficult to predict, diagnose and manage in the clinic. The aim of this thesis is to characterize and identify the sperm alterations explaining FF after ICSI.
The main sperm proteins involved in oocyte activation have been studied: PAWP and PLCZ1. PAWP levels, its subcellular location and its gene sequence did not show alterations in patients with FF. On the other hand, we identified presence of mutations in PLCZ1 gene in a high percentage of patients with oocyte activation failure (12/22, 55%). The deleterious effect of these mutations was confirmed by functional analysis (injecting PLCZ1 cRNA into in vitro-ripened human oocytes).
Moreover, sperm telomere length (STL) was determined in samples from 60 sperm donors used in 676 ICSI cycles, allowing us to statistically isolate the female factor from STL. However, we did not find any significant effect of STL on fertilization and pregnancy rates.
In addition, for the first time, semen samples with good fertilization rate (n = 8) and samples with repetitive FF post-ICSI (n = 4) were compared by high-throughput proteomics. This analysis identified 11 proteins differentiated expressed between patients with FF and controls, some of them validated by Western Blot (such as DLAT and PSMA1). Functional analysis demonstrated that sperm samples from patients with FF presented lower mitochondrial activity and less proteasomal activity than the controls.
Finally, by the analysis of up to 125 ICSI cycles with FF, we observed that a single previous evidence of FF is not an enough justification to recommend assisted oocyte activation (AOA).
In summary, this thesis includes a comprehensive molecular characterization of sperm-dependent fertilization failure after ICSI, and provides a list of biomarkers and tools with potential use at the clinical level.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The first aim of this randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind study was to investigate whether low-dose aspirin therapy, started prior to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, improves ovarian stimulation response, uterine haemodynamics and clinical pregnancy rates in unselected patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The second aim was to examine if the maternal serum placental proteome is different in IVF/ICSI pregnancies compared with spontaneous pregnancies, and whether low-dose aspirin modifies maternal serum placental protein expression and uteroplacental haemodynamics during the first half of pregnancy. Finally, the effect of low-dose aspirin therapy on the incidence of hypertensive pregnancy complications among women who became pregnant after IVF/ICSI was investigated. Low-dose aspirin therapy did not increase the number of oocytes retrieved, the total number of embryos or number of top-quality embryos, endometrial thickness or uterine haemodynamics on the day of embryo transfer (ET) or clinical pregnancy rates compared with placebo-treated IVF/ICSI women. On the day of ET, low-dose aspirin did not affect UtA vascular impedance, but the incidence of non-optimal uterine artery haemodynamics (UtA PI≥3.0) was statistically significantly lower (p<0.05) in the aspirin group compared with the placebo group. In the placebo-treated IVF/ICSI patients, maternal serum proteome analysis showed altered protein expression compared with women with spontaneous pregnancies. Between aspirin- and placebo-treated IVF/ICSI patients, proteome analysis showed a unique and distinct pattern of differentially expressed proteins including extra-cellular matrix, complement and transport proteins. At 6 weeks’ gestation, arcuate artery PI and at 18 weeks’ gestation, UtA PI values were lower (p<0.05) in the aspirin group than in the placebo group. In conclusion, low-dose aspirin therapy, when started concomitantly with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, did not improve ovarian responsiveness, uterine receptivity, pregnancy outcome in unselected IVF/ICSI women or affect UtA vascular impedance on the day of ET. Low-dose aspirin modified the early placentation process and reduced uteroplacental vascular impedance in mid-pregnancy, but did not decrease the incidence of hypertensive pregnancy complications<br>Tiivistelmä Keinoalkuisten hedelmöityshoitojen seurauksena keskimäärin reilu kolmannes naisista tulee raskaaksi hoitokertaa kohti. Näissä raskauksissa äidin seerumista määritettyjen istukkaperäisten merkkiaineiden pitoisuuksissa on eroavaisuuksia verrattuna spontaanisti raskaaksi tulleiden naisten seerumipitoisuuksiin ensimmäisen ja toisen raskauskolmanneksen aikana. Pre-eklampsian eli raskausmyrkytyksen riski on myös lisääntynyt. Syyksi arvellaan istukan verisuonipuuston poikkeavaa kehitystä. Pre-eklampsiaan liitetään intravaskulaarisen prostasykliinin ja tromboksaanin epätasapaino, joka johtaa verihiutaleiden aggregaation lisääntymiseen ja verisuonten supistumiseen. Matala-annoksinen asetyylisalisyylihappo (ASA) vähentää tromboksaanituotantoa ja korjaa tromboksaani- ja prostasykliinituotannon epätasapainoa, mutta sen ei ole todettu merkittävästi vähentävän näiden raskauskomplikaatioiden esiintyvyyttä edes riskiryhmillä, kun lääkitys on aloitettu toisen raskauskolmanneksen aikana. Tämän satunnaistetun ja plasebo-kontrolloidun kaksoissokkotutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia keinoalkuisia hedelmöityshoitoja saavilla naisilla matala-annoksisen ASA-hoidon (100 mg/vrk) merkitystä munasarjojen stimulaatiovasteeseen, alkion kiinnittymiseen, istukan muodostumiseen ja kehittymiseen sekä lääkehoidon vaikutusta kohdun, istukan ja sikiön verenkiertoon, kun lääkitys aloitettiin munasarjojen stimulaatiohoidon alkaessa. Lisätavoitteena oli selvittää, onko lapsettomuushoitoja saavien naisten raskauksissa todettavissa spesifinen istukkaproteomiikkalöydös (istukan tuottamat valkuaisaineet) verrattuna spontaanisti raskaaksi tulleisiin naisiin ja voidaanko siihen vaikuttaa matala-annoksisella ASA-hoidolla. Toisena lisätavoitteena oli selvittää matala-annoksisen ASA-hoidon vaikutus pre-eklampsian esiintyvyyteen loppuraskaudessa. Matala-annoksinen asetyylisalisyylihappo (ASA) ei paranna keinoalkuisten hedelmöityshoitojen hoitotuloksia eikä vaikuta kohdun verenkiertoon tai kohdun limakalvon paksuuteen ultraäänellä arvioituna alkion siirtopäivänä. Matala-annoksista ASA-hoitoa käyttäneiden potilaiden ryhmässä todettiin kuitenkin merkitsevästi vähemmän naisia, joilla oli huonoa hoitotulosta keinoalkuisissa hedelmöityshoidoissa ennakoiva korkea molemminpuolinen kohtuvaltimoiden verenvirtausvastus alkion siirtopäivänä verrattuna plasebo-ryhmään. Raskaaksi tulleilla naisilla, jotka käyttivät matala-annoksista ASA-hoitoa, todettiin kohdun verenvirtausvastus matalammaksi alku- ja keskiraskaudessa verrattuna plasebo-ryhmän naisiin. Istukkaproteomiikkatutkimusten mukaan varhaisistukan proteiinituotanto on erilainen keinoalkuisissa raskauksissa verrattuna spontaanisti alkaneisiin raskauksiin ja siihen voidaan vaikuttaa matala-annoksisella ASA-hoidolla. Pre-eklampsian ja sikiön kasvunhidastuman esiintyvyydessä ei ryhmien välillä todettu eroa. Matala-annoksinen ASA-hoito aloitettuna ennen raskautta munasarjojen stimulaatiohoidon alkaessa ei paranna munasarjojen vastetta lapsettomuushoidoissa käytettäville hormonihoidoille, raskauslukuja eikä kohdun verenkiertoa alkion siirtopäivänä. Hoidon todettiin kuitenkin vaikuttavan varhaisistukan kehittymiseen sekä parantavan kohdun verenkierto alku- ja keskiraskaudessa viitaten istukan verisuonipuuston parempaan kehittymiseen. Matala-annoksinen ASA-hoito ei vähentänyt istukkaperäisten raskauskomplikaatioiden esiintymistä

The objective of this study was to develop a reliable method for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in bovine oocytes. Oocytes recovered from abattoir-derived ovaries were centrifuged for 5 min at 6000xg to facilitate sperm injection. Sperm were pre-treated in vitro with 5mM dithiothreitol (DTT), and diluted (approximately 1:5) with 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in 0.9% saline. After sperm injection, various activation procedures were compared. Initially, 3 h after activation with 5muM Ionomycin (A23187), oocytes with second polar bodies were selected and treated with 1.9mM 6-dimethylaminopurine (DMAP). The cleavage rate of sperm-injected oocytes treated with Ionomycin and DMAP was higher than with Ionomycin alone (62.1 vs. 27.3%, p < 0.05). In sham-injected control oocytes treated with Ionomycin and DMAP, the cleavage rate was approximately six times higher than that of oocytes treated with Ionomycin alone (44.3 vs. 7.4%, p < 0.001). Upon examination 16 h after ICSI, pronuclear formation was observed in 33 of 47 (70.2%) DMAP-treated oocytes. Two pronuclei were present in 18 of 33 (54.6%), while one and three pronuclei were seen in 8 of 33 (24.2%) and 7 of 33 (21.2%), respectively. In sham-injected DMAP-treated control oocytes, 6 of 15 (40.0%) had one pronucleus while 9 of 15 (60.0%) had two pronuclei. Since a single Ca2+ stimulation provided insufficient activation and DMAP treatment could result in triploidy, activation by multiple Ca2+ stimulations following ICSI was tested. Three Ca2+ stimulations were given at 30-min intervals. Pronuclear formation was observed in 16 of 41 (39.0%) oocytes at 16 h after sperm injection, with one and two pronuclei found in 4 of 16 (25.0%) and 12 of 16 (75.0%), respectively. Although one pronucleus was formed in 3 of 33 (9.1%) sham-injected control oocytes treated with three Ca2+ stimulations, two pronuclei were not seen in any of these oocytes. Due to the low rate of pronuclear formation after 5muM Ionomycin, 50muM

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.<br>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.<br>Tesis

Full textAbstract:
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.<br>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.

Les systèmes industriels présentent des risques de sécurité liés à leurs vulnérabilités informatiques. Ces systèmes, répartis dans le monde, continuent d'être la cible d'attaques. Bien que les systèmes industriels partagent des vulnérabilités communes avec les systèmes informatiques, ils ont tendance à avoir plus de contraintes en raison de l'interaction entre les systèmes cyber et physiques.Les systèmes de détection d'intrusion donnent une visibilité au système et sont considérés comme l'une des solutions pour détecter les attaques ciblées. Il semble donc pertinent de s'appuyer sur un modèle physique du système cyber-physique pour obtenir un système de détection d'intrusion (IDS) pour les systèmes industriels. La plupart des IDS sont basés sur des règles qui définissent comment les attaques possibles sont détectées. Ces règles sont généralement utilisées pour décrire les scénarios d'attaque possibles sur les systèmes ou pour décrire le comportement normal du système. Cependant, la création et la maintenance manuels des règles pour un système complexe peuvent s'avérer être une tâche très difficile.Cette thèse propose une solution pour modéliser ICS et concevoir des IDS spécifiques pour les systèmes industriels. Un générateur de règles IDS basé sur un modèle est encore proposé, qui convertit un modèle de système en règles IDS basées sur des anomalies. Enfin, l'efficacité des règles générées est évaluée<br>Industrial systems present security risks related to their IT vulnerabilities. These systems, spread over the world, continue to be targets of attacks. While Industrial systems share common vulnerabilities with IT systems, they tend to have more constraints due to the interaction between cyber and physical systems.Intrusion detection systems give visibility to the system and are considered as one of the solutions to detect targeting attacks. Hence, it seems relevant to rely on a physical model of the cyber-physical system to obtain an intrusion detection system (IDS) for industrial systems. Most IDSs are based on rules that define how possible attacks are detected. These rules are generally used to either describe possible attack scenarios on the systems or used to describe the normal system behavior of the system. However, manually creating and maintaining rules for a complex system can prove to be a very tedious and difficult task.This thesis proposes a solution to model ICS and to design specific IDS for industrial systems. A model-based IDS rule generator is also proposed, which converts a system model into anomaly-based IDS rules. Finally, the effectiveness of the generated rules is evaluated

La esencia del trabajo consta de estudios y análisis de la cultura y la educación propia de la ciudad de Ica, para un desarrollo integral que fortalezca aquello que se va perdiendo, usando métodos que vinculen a la sociedad y su identidad.
Al investigar más acerca de las necesidades y problemáticas de la ciudad, sale a flote la gran demanda de visitantes nacionales, residentes y extranjeros a sectores cuyas características están ligadas a la falta de infraestructura cultural. Seguidamente el número excesivo de estudiantes en instituciones pedagógicas en relación a la cantidad de colegios, universidades, institutos, etc. Esta información se va ver reflejado en la propuesta multianual de inversiones del Ministerio de Cultura, que propone el desarrollo de un Centro cultural en Ica, vinculado a solucionar las 2 problemáticas con mayor demanda.
Por este motivo se propone dicha tipología que aborde un programa consecuente a la falta de ambientes que tienen las instituciones cercanas al proyecto, al igual que la factibilidad para vincular una ruta cultural, que ofrece salas de exposición pertenecientes a restos arqueológicos de Paracas, donde actualmente se exponen en edificaciones no adecuadas para su conservación.
Bajo estas circunstancias es como se desarrollará el proyecto cumpliendo un rol que vincule los lazos de la identidad Iqueña, como también ser pionero al marcar pautas acerca del correcto emplazamiento, sistemas de asoleamiento, materialidad a través del mimesis con el entorno, etc. Siendo un punto de partida para hacer arquitectura pensada para el lugar.<br>The essence of the work consists of studies and analysis of the culture and education of the city of Ica, for an integral development that strengthens what is being lost, using methods that link society and its identity.
When investigating more about the needs and problems of the city, the great demand of national visitors, residents and foreigners to sectors whose characteristics are linked to the lack of cultural infrastructure comes to the fore. Then the excessive number of students in educational institutions in relation to the number of colleges, universities, institutes, etc. This information will be reflected in the multi-annual investment proposal of the Ministry of Culture, which proposes the development of a Cultural Center in Ica, linked to solving the 2 problems with greater demand.
For this reason, this typology is proposed that addresses a program consistent with the lack of environments that the institutions near the project have, as well as the feasibility to link a cultural route, which offers exhibition halls belonging to archaeological remains of Paracas, where currently They are exhibited in buildings not suitable for conservation.
Under these circumstances it is how the project will be developed, fulfilling a role that links the ties of the Iqueña identity, as well as being a pioneer in setting guidelines on the correct location, sunning systems, materiality through mimesis with the environment, etc. Being a starting point to make architecture designed for the place.<br>Tesis

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The patent developed by Dr. L. John [1] allows for the the detection of deep muscle activation through the combination of specially positioned monopolar surface Electromyography (sEMG) electrodes and a Blind Source Separation algorithm. This concept was then proved by Morowasi and John [2] in a 12 electrode prototype system around the bicep. This proof of concept showed that it was possible to extract the deep tissue activity of the brachialis muscle in the upper arm, however, the effect of surface electrode positioning and effectual number of electrodes on signal quality is still unclear. The hope of this research is to extend this work. In this research, a genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented on top of the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) algorithm to reduce the number of electrodes needed to isolate the activity from all muscles in the upper arm, including deep tissue. The GA selects electrodes based on the amount of significant information they contribute to the ICA solution and by doing so, a reduced electrode set is generated and alternative electrode positions are identified. This allows a near optimal electrode configuration to be produced for each user. The benefits of this approach are: 1.The generalized electrode array and this algorithm can select the near optimal electrode arrangement with very minimal understanding of the underlying anatomy. 2. It can correct for small anatomical differences between test subjects and act as a calibration phase for individuals. As with any design there are also disadvantages, such as each user needs to have the electrode placement specifically customised for him or her and this process needs to be conducted using a higher number of electrodes to begin with.

Bakgrund: De senaste 20 åren har varit händelserika år för detaljhandeln då kraftig tillväxt, tydlig expansion och en strukturomvandling har skett. Varukategorierna har växt och lågprisprodukter har tagits fram och en billighetstrend har skapats. Billighetstrenden ihop med strukturförändringarna är bidragande faktorer till framtagningen av egna märkesvaror (EMV). Till en början kopplades EMV samman med lågprisprodukter men den ständiga utvecklingen av dessa gör att kvalitetsnivån har ökat. EMV har blivit unika produkter som konsumenten bara kan hitta i kedjans butiker. Vi intresserar oss i att kolla på vad som gör att EMV köps och hur kunderna resonerar kring sina val. Forskningsfråga: Vilka faktorer förklarar kundens val av EMV? Syftet: Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa en förståelse och insikt för vilka bakomliggande faktorer som leder till att konsumenterna väljer ICAs EMV. Detta gör vi genom att förstå:Delsyfte 1: Syftet är att kartlägga vilka grundläggande faktorer som gör att kunderna väljer ICAs EMVDelsyfte 2: Syftet är att identifiera vilka funktioner ICAs olika EMV fyller vid kundens köpbeslut Metod: Vi har arbetat utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där våra primära källor var baserade på kvalitativa intervjuer med sexton personer. Utav dessa var åtta kunder och åtta från företaget ICA. Vi har även arbetat med en kvantitativ forskningsmetod för att få en bättre överblick över hur det ser ut hos fler kunder. Arbetet har präglats av en blandning mellan ett deduktiv och induktiv ansats vilket resulterar i en abduktiv ansats. Slutsatser: Vi har funnit två grundläggande och väsentliga faktorer som bidrar till att kunder väljer ICAs EMV, tilliten till ICA som varumärke samt märkeskännedom. Vi har även identifierat två viktiga funktioner som det enskilda EMV-märket uppfyller vid kundens köpbeslut. Den första funktionen är märkets roll för att underlätta beslutsprocesser vid valet av produkter, men också i valet inom en viss varukategori. En annan viktig funktion är att EMV-märket är bidragande till ett brett sortiment för ICA i sin helhet.<br>The purpose of this study has been to examine the underlying factors that lead to consumers’ purchase of private labels. Our aim has been to investigate what influences consumers purchase of private labels. We chose to work side by side with a company named ICA that is Sweden's largest supermarket. This company has the highest proportion of private labels in the Swedish retail market, and this is why we found it important to examine this company. Our research question for this study is as follows; What factors explain customers’ purchases of private label products? The method we used as a work process in this thesis is both a quantitative approach, as we have done a survey, as well as a qualitative approach with qualitative interviews conducted with members of the company ICA and with customers. The most vital part of this study was done by the qualitative approach, to get a deeper understanding of the subject. We have found two basic and essential factors that contribute customers to choose ICA´s private label products. The first one is customers trust in ICA as a brand and the second one is brand awareness. We have also identified two important functions that the privet label fulfill in the customer´s buying decision. The first is to facilitate customers buying decision process and the second one is to contribute to a wide range of products.

The purpose of this paper is to study how ICA construct ecologically through their organic food packaging. Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) is used to analyze the semiotic resources existing on food packaging, as well as identify underlying power and ideological conditions. As our analysis is based on our own interpretations, and that multimodal critical discourse analysis is a social constructionist theory, our study includes social constructionism. One conclusion of our study is that all organic products, whether design, convey some kind of discourse about purity, and that it can be expressed in different ways. ICA show this through a white and modern design which is a new thinking when it comes to organic food packaging. There is no traditional, authentic or Swedish about the products like the other organic products in the study.

This study examines how the grocery retail company ICA handle their communication in store during a crisis and how they manage it efficiently. With contributions from theories and models from the field of crisis management this study examines how these are implemented in practice. With the help of a case study on four ICA-stores in Stockholm this study aims to see how communication during a crisis is conducted. A qualitative approach is used through four semi- structured interviews with people who hold leading positions in each store. Among those were two of them store owners, one was a store manager and one a controller. The results show that communication is one of the most important things during a crisis and that the information should be open and transparent. The conclusion is that the stores use several different communications channels, signs, verbal communication, flyers and social media. A combination of which is what is shown to be the most efficient way to handle a crisis and to be active on social media is what this study think will be an important tool in the future.<br>Den här studien undersöker hur dagligvaruaktören ICA sköter sin kommunikation i butik under en krissituation och hur de på ett effektivt sätt hanterar dessa händelser. Med hjälp av existerande teorier och modeller inom krishantering undersöks här om dessa implementeras i praktiken. Genom en fallstudie av fyra ICA-butiker i Stockholmsområdet har den här studien på ett kvalitativt sätt via semistrukturerade intervjuer studerat hur denna kommunikation ser ut. De intervjuade är två stycken handlare, en butikschef och en controller där samtliga har en ledande roll inom vardera ICA-butik. Resultaten visar att de intervjuade tycker att kommunikationen under en kris är av yttersta vikt och att vara öppen och transparent anses som fundamentalt. Slutsatsen är att butikerna använder sig av flera olika kanaler för att kommunicera i butik, skyltning, informera de anställda, skicka ut reklamblad samt att använda sig av sociala medier. En kombination av dessa kanaler visar sig vara ett effektivt sätt att hantera en kris och att vara aktiv på sociala medier tror den här studien kommer vara ett viktigt verktyg i framtiden.

La contradicción que establece un sector de exportación agrícola ubicado en una
zona con el ecosistema de un desierto levanta muchas dudas sobre la situación del
principal recurso del que dependen, tanto el sector como los pobladores que en ella
habitan. En Ica, zona central de la costa peruana, tuvo lugar a inicios de los 2000 lo
que se denominó boom agroexportador peruano, donde luego surgirían una serie
de conflictos debido al problema de escasez de agua que se presentó en la zona.
En términos de servicios ecosistémicos, surgen dudas sobre la sostenibilidad del
sector, dada la sobreexplotación de agua, recurso necesario para la producción. El
boom podría haber tenido un efecto sobre la importancia que dan los agricultores a
conservar el agua, más particularmente en las decisiones que toman respecto al
manejo del recurso hídrico. Este estudio busca, a través de un análisis
econométrico, medir el impacto que ha tenido el boom agroexportador sobre las
decisiones de conservación de agua para la producción agrícola. Los principales
resultados del análisis aceptan la hipótesis de que el boom, tuvo una significativa
influencia sobre la decisión de los agricultores de usar tecnologías para riego en
favor del recurso hídrico. Sin embargo, solo para quienes pueden permitirse su uso
para la agricultura, se descubre también que el grupo de unidades agropecuarias
que no tienen producción en sus parcelas acusan ser la falta de agua el principal
motivo por el que no tienen siembra, jugando el boom agroexportador un rol decisivo
en esta conclusión.

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar, tomando como base el caso de Ica, si la
institucionalidad y normatividad participativa vienen contribuyendo a impulsar el
proceso de descentralización. Para este fin se revisan los antecedentes de la
descentralización y la participación ciudadana en Ica, se bosqueja un panorama
de la economía y la sociedad y se desarrolla el papel que vienen asumiendo las
organizaciones políticas y sociales en la descentralización iniciada en el año 2003.
En ese marco, se ha encontrado que la participación ciudadana en Ica muestra en el plano social una frondosa red de instituciones tradicionales y otras nuevas nacidas en el marco de la democratización de los 2000 y, en el plano político, comités locales de los principales partidos nacionales y algunos movimientos regionales. En todos los casos, sus características son la debilidad organizativa y participativa, la ausencia de una elite social y empresarial afincada en la región, poca renovación de liderazgos y la constitución una pequeña capa de dirigentes que copan los espacios públicos; características que sumadas a las restricciones legales impuestas a la representación de la sociedad civil en las instancias participativas del gobierno regional y la escasa voluntad política para hacerla viable, han determinado que las instituciones y organizaciones no hayan estado en la posibilidad de impulsar decididamente el proceso de descentralización a nivel regional.<br>Tesis
