This thesis is being conducted by two final year Bachelor degree students, collaborating with a Swedish fashion brand producing leather sneakers with the aim to investigate the most common wear and tear of shoes in metropolitan and suburban environments. Shoes are readily known for having a relatively short product lifecycle and with few alternatives to prolong the materials usefulness at the end. Furthermore consumers find that the main problems that make them not want to repair, are mainly financial reasons and a lack of knowledge in repair methods. This study has conducted a survey to gain information of the most common wear and tears regarding shoes in order to meet what the consumers want for products in a repair kit. The study involved a qualitative interview about material expertise about the shoes used in this study with selected and qualified respondents from the fashion brand company. The data collected was sufficient to create a product list for a repair-kit and shows a PU-solution to repair damaged leather, heel patches to repair ripped lining, a cyanoacrylate glue to mend detached/broken outsoles and an informational manual should be the main components for the repair kit. This study is designed to work as a future recommendation specification of requirements to the company this study is collaborating with to prolong the time of usage for the shoes.

Molecular recognition, particularly as it applies to strong binding interactions between complementary ligand/receptor molecules in solution, is important in such varied areas as molecular biology, pharmacology, synthetic chemistry, and chemical detection. Strong binding is the additive result of a number of specific, weak, non-covalent interactions occurring between complementary molecules. This dissertation reports on the energetics of forming complexes between small molecules and model DNA constructs. Ligands included cationic and metallated cationic porphyrins and polyheterocyclic ruthenium compounds. DNA receptors included double stranded B-DNAs (hairpin and short linear sequences) as well G-quadruplex DNAs. Thermodynamic data were collected using isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism spectropolarimetry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The measured thermodynamic parameters included the changes in free energy, enthalpy and entropy for ligand/receptor complex formation as well as the stoichiometry of the stable complexes. The first section of this dissertation reports that the binding of cationic porphyrins to model G-quadruplex DNA may proceed through two pathways, end stacking and intercalation. Modulating the number of pyridinium groups on a pyridinium substituted porphyrin yielded differing binding thermodynamics leading to the understanding that a balance of surface area, charge, and geometry affect the ability of a porphyrin to bind to G-quadruplex DNA. Further investigations into the binding of metallated porphyrins developed the understanding that the geometry of the central metal ion affected not only the thermodynamics but could also inhibit the intercalative mode. It was previously shown that the high affinity binding for binuclear polyheterocyclic ruthenium compounds proceeds through an intercalative mode. To further understand the binding process and the structureunction relationship of the ligand components, the binding of smaller mononuclear complexes that were representative of portions of the binuclear complex was examined in this dissertation. While limiting the intercalative ability lowered the binding affinity, the mononuclear complex with the full intercalating bridge was able bind to DNA with a higher affinity than the binuclear complex. These studies have been successful in part in determining the contributions of numerous weak interactions including: charge (Coulombic interactions), H-bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and solvent structure (solvation changes), to the overall energetics of this molecular recognition process.

Environmental problems are increasingly jeopardizing the earth's life-support systems. By shifting from a take-make-dispose industrial model to a circular one, resources will last longer, and the environmental impact will be significantly lower. People’s choices, behaviours and lifestyles will play a vital role in achieving sustainable development. A way to influence this is to use an educational tool that is accessible, interesting and fun. By superimposing computer generated objects to the real world, Augmented Reality (AR) adds a layer of interactivity and engagement. As there are 3 billion active smartphone users worldwide, an AR smartphone application is also very accessible. This thesis investigates how marker-based AR can be used as a means to educate a user in circular economy. This was done by using research through design and applied research to create a design for a prototype which worked as a proof of concept. The prototype was evaluated through a heuristic evaluation. Data was gathered through a form and semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using the framework method and box plots. The prototype used marker-based AR and was built using the game engine Unity with the Vuforia SDK. The results indicated that an AR application could be a good tool to use in combination with other sources of information such as seminars. / Miljöproblem äventyrar i allt större utsträckning jordens livsstödssystem. Genom att byta från en ta-skapa-kasta industriell modell till en cirkulär, kommer resurserna att räcka längre och miljöpåverkan blir betydligt lägre. Människors val, beteenden och livsstil kommer att spela en viktig roll för att uppnå en hållbar utveckling. Ett sätt att påverka detta är att använda ett pedagogiskt verktyg som är lättillgängligt, intressant och roligt. Genom att lägga till ett lager av virtuella objekt i den verkliga världen, tillför Augmented Reality (AR), interaktivitet och engagemang. Eftersom det finns 3 miljarder aktiva smarttelefonanvändare över hela världen, är en AR-smarttelefonapplikation också lättillgänglig. Denna avhandling undersöker hur markörbaserad AR kan användas för att utbilda en användare i cirkulär ekonomi. Detta gjordes genom att använda forskning genom design och tillämpad forskning för att designa en prototyp för konceptvalidering. Prototypen utvärderades genom en heuristisk utvärdering. Data samlades in genom ett formulär och halvstrukturerade intervjuer samt analyserades med hjälp av ramverks metoden och lådagram. Prototypen använde markörbaserad AR och byggdes med hjälp av spelmotorn Unity med Vuforia SDK. Resultaten visade att en AR-applikation skulle kunna vara ett bra verktyg att använda i kombination med andra informationskällor, som till exempel seminarier.

Upcycling is the process of repurposing discarded materials into new products of higher value, and holds significant potential for sustainable waste management. This thesis explores the challenges and opportunities involved in expanding upcycling practices in the city of Stockholm, with a specific focus on craft classes in public schools. The goal of the study is to identify key success factors and propose strategies for scaling up upcycling initiatives. A mixed method approach, including literature review, semi-structured stakeholder interviews, attitude surveys, and material flow analysis, was employed to gather insights and data. The findings reveal various challenges within the upcycling value chain, such as the need for efficient collecting processes, limited storage space, and financial feasibility. Despite the sechallenges, the research identifies several success factors, including cost-effectiveness, regulatory support, and the availability of discarded materials. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of upcycling practices in public schools’ craft class and provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners seeking to implement and expand sustainable waste management strategies. By addressing the identified challenges and leveraging the opportunities, upcycling practices can be effectively integrated into public school curricula, fostering environmental consciousness and promoting a circular economy mindset among students. / Upcycling är förädlingsprocessen att återanvända avfall för att skapa mer värdefulla produkter. Det har en betydande potential för hållbar avfallshantering. Detta examensarbete undersöker svårigheterna och möjligheterna med att bredda metoderna för upcycling i Stockholms stad, med särskild uppmärksamhet på hantverkskurser som erbjuds av offentliga skolor. Målet med studien är att identifiera avgörande faktorer för framgång och ge förslag på metoder för att öka storleken på ett upcycling-projekt. För att inhämta information och data användes en blandning av tekniker, som inkluderade litteraturgenomgångar, semistrukturerade intervjuer av intressenter, attitydundersökningar och materialflödesanalyser. Resultatet visar på flera utmaningar inom värdekedjan för upcycling, inklusive krävande insamlingsprocedurer, begränsat lagringsutrymme samt villkoren för ekonomisk genomförbarhet. Trots dessa brister och utmaningar avslöjar denna studie även flera framgångsfaktorer. Dessa inkluderar kostnadseffektivitet, kommunalt stöd samt tillgången till avfall. Sammantaget bidrar denna studie till förståelsen av återanvändningsmetoder i offentliga skolorshantverkskurser och ger värdefulla insikter för beslutsfattare, utbildare samt andra praktiserande som vill implementera och utöka strategier för hållbar avfallshantering. Genom att ta itu med de påvisade utmaningarna och utnyttja möjligheterna kan praxis för upcycling effektivt integreras i den offentliga skolans läroplaner, öka miljömedvetenheten och slutligen främja ett tankesätt för cirkulärekonomi bland skoleleverna.

Background: In the recents decades, one of humanity's biggest challenges has been the climatecrisis where emissions of greenhouse gases are the main problem. This has forced companies toact more environmentally friendly due to laws and regulations but also due to customer demand.Circular economy has become a hot topic with various definitions. One of the definitions isopen-loop supply chain and this essay will focus on explaining the concept of open-loop supplychain. Research question: 1. What can a business model look like for an intermediary for reusable durable goods in anopen-loop supply chain? 2. What challenges exist within reuse of durable goods between suppliers and intermediaries inan open-loop supply chain? Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to, through a multiple case study, develop a businessmodel on how intermediaries for reusable durable goods can work with an open-loop supplychain and how it can be applied in future industries. Method: Primary data through semi-structured interviews and secondary data through scientificarticles. Conclusion: The essay developed a business model for intermediaries for reusable durablegoods in an open-loop supply chain which is applicable to other industries. The essay alsodefined some of the challenges for intermediaries operating in an open-loop supply chain whichare transaction costs, building relationships, loss of control and long transportations. Furthermorethe level of relevance of these challenges depends on the amount of responsibility theintermediary has taken upon itself.

This thesis investigates the possible utilization of reclaimed bricks within the framework of circular economy (CE) and sustainable construction approaches, with a particular emphasis on Pakistan's construction industry. The research is based on the theoretical foundations of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and Resource Efficiency concepts. Qualitative methods were used to collect data, and a thematic framework was employed to analyse the results. The findings indicate that Pakistan's reclaimed brick sector aligns with the principles of the TBL theory, supporting sustainability in its social, economic, and environmental aspects. Through waste reduction, material reuse, and resource conservation, the industry demonstrates its commitment to environmental preservation. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in the economy by providing affordable infrastructure solutions and contributing to the growth of the construction industry. Additionally, the industry promotes social well-being by providing employment opportunities and financial stability. The study illustrates how Pakistan's reclaimed brick operations effectively integrate social, economic, and environmental factors to create a more environmentally friendly built environment. In summary, reclaimed bricks present a sustainable and resource-efficient alternative for the construction industry, in line with the principles of resource efficiency, preserving resources, minimizing waste, and promoting circular economy practices. The adoption of reclaimed bricks can help Pakistan and other countries achieve their sustainability objectives, reduce environmental impact, and construct structures that are longer-lasting and resource-efficient.

The aim of this research is to explore the state of circular economy adoption and promotion in the Netherlands from the viewpoint of professionals in the field. This research is particularly relevant because the concept of a circular economy is booming all throughout the world, and the Netherlands represents one of the front runners in the application of related strategies. The research questions asked in this study were as follows: ● What circular economy strategies are primarily used in companies in the Netherlands?● To what extent do governments and companies in the Netherlands currently promote a circular economy?● What specific external factors influence the implementation of circular economy strategies in the Netherlands? Aspects of the circular economy were gathered using a literature review, and this information was used to create a tentative conceptual framework. Then, interviews with seven industry professionals in the Netherlands, who were purposively selected, were held, and the data coming therefrom were used to analyse the adoption and promotion of circular economy strategies in the Netherlands, as well as external factors influencing the implementation of said strategies. While the experiences and perspectives of interview participants often matched the literature, there were also some instances where differences were noted. The research showed that there are commonly accepted circular economy strategies in literature and that the actual frequency at which these strategies are employed does not match the expectations of the participants. However, the practical limitations to the adoption of circular economy strategies and which strategies are most common seem to be well understood by industry professionals.  Trends regarding circular economy strategies are not foreseeable according to the research participants, and consumer understanding and greenwashing can be cause for concern in the future. For the Dutch market, the impact of technological advancements, political positions, and the emerging of new global markets are especially relevant when it comes to external factors influencing circular economy adoption in the Netherlands. Several areas for future research have been identified, ranging from studying the impact of internal factors on CE implementation, to optimising policies and regulations, and from increasing stakeholder engagement, to designing measurement metrics and indicators.

This thesis investigates the challenges and opportunities for waste management and circular innovation in the context of sustainable development in Zanzibar, with a specific focus on the relevance of youth circular entrepreneurship. Addressing the low integration of stakeholders, inadequate technical support for young innovators, and challenges in leveraging funding, this study aims to provide insights and recommendations to enhance circularity and waste management systems on the islands. Through a comprehensive literature review, qualitative interviews, and analysis of relevant policies and initiatives, the research uncovers the complex dynamics within Zanzibar's waste management value chain. The findings underscore the urgent need for improved stakeholder collaboration, emphasizing the active participation of government agencies, businesses, communities, civil society organizations, and youth entrepreneurs to drive sustainable practices. The study highlights the crucial role of youth circular entrepreneurship in fostering innovation and driving the transition to a circular economy. It identifies the limited technical support, resources, and infrastructure available to young innovators as key barriers, underscoring the necessity of capacity-building programs, mentorship initiatives, and tailored support mechanisms to empower and enable youth entrepreneurs to contribute to waste management and circular innovation. Furthermore, the research reveals the challenges associated with funding and investment for circular initiatives. It emphasizes the significance of climate finance, public-private partnerships, and the mobilization of international funding sources to overcome financial constraints and create an enabling environment for youth circular entrepreneurship. Based on the analysis, this thesis proposes a range of strategies to enhance circularity in Zanzibar, with a particular emphasis on engaging and empowering youth. These strategies encompass stakeholder collaboration, policy development, education and awareness campaigns targeted at youth, technological advancements, and the establishment of financial mechanisms to support youth-led circular innovation. By addressing the identified challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities, Zanzibar can foster a circular economy that not only addresses environmental concerns but also unlocks economic opportunities, resource efficiency, and community well-being. This research contributes to the knowledge base on waste management and circular innovation in Zanzibar, providing a foundation for future research and action toward sustainable development, with a specific focus on youth circular entrepreneurship.

Looking at the transformation of Slakthusområdet in Stockholm, I aim to discuss and broaden the understanding of site. I aim to highlight the qualities of working with the already built environment when conducting new areas. How can new buildings be made in such a way that we feel like they belong to that specific site? Between notions of the living and the changing, as well as the protected and preserved, a tension arises that is worth investigating. With the aim of bringing life into older objects, constructions and places follows great challenges. How can both change and preservation be considered simultaneously?

Tesis por compendio / [ES] El presente trabajo de investigación presenta un nuevo concepto de hormigón celular basado en el consumo minimizado de recursos y casi nulo de energías, durante la fase de producción del material como a lo largo de la vida útil de las edificaciones: los nuevos hormigones eco-celulares "one-part" (ECC-OP). Se lleva a cavo el desarrollo, caracterización y evaluación medioambiental del material. En la primera etapa de trabajo, se introducen e investigan los nuevos hormigones celulares geopoliméricos (GCC) y hormigones celulares de activación alcalina (AACC) en los que el cemento Portland, conocido por su uso indiscriminado a nivel mundial y su gran impacto ambiental y económico, se sustituye por el catalizador gastado de craqueo catalítico (FCC) y la escoria de alto horno (BFS) respectivamente. A partir de la concepción de estos nuevos materiales se va introduciendo variables de mejora: i) empleo de agentes aireantes alternativos: papel de aluminio reciclado, agua oxigenada y sub-productos del tratamiento de escorias salinas; ii) desarrollo del concepto de co-molienda entre los precursores y los aireantes alternativos; iii) combinación de aireación mecánica y química de las matrices mediante polvo de aluminio y un espumante, el lauril sulfato de sodio; y vi) estudio del comportamiento frente a tratamientos de curado alternativos al autoclave. Los materiales se estudian y comparan microestructuralmente, se ensayan sus características funcionales (densidad, resistencia mecánica a la compresión y conductividad térmica) y se evalúan medioambientalmente. Además, se caracteriza la matriz porosa resultante combinando técnicas microscópicas y de análisis de imagen, así como mediante ensayos hídricos. En esta segunda etapa de trabajo, se introduce el concepto de hormigón eco-celular (ECC), en el que los silicatos comerciales de la disolución activadora se sustituyen por una fuente alternativa de sílice procedente de un residuo agrícola: la ceniza de cáscara de arroz (RHA). Se desarrollan e investigan sistemas de ECCs con FCC y ECCs con BFS, en los que se emplea como agente aireante el papel de aluminio residual y se incorpora mediante el procedimiento de co-molienda con el precursor. Los ECCs se diseñan para obtener unas propiedades óptimas y se comparan con los TCC, GCC y AACC, tanto física y mecánicamente como medioambientalmente. Como resultado, se obtienen ECCs estables, con densidades inferiores a los 1000kg/cm3 y con los que se consigue una reducción de las emisiones de CO2 del 74 % en el caso de los constituidos con FCC y del 78 % para los constituidos con BFS, respecto a los sistemas tradicionales. Finalmente, en la tercera etapa de trabajo se presenta la mayor innovación en cuanto a la ecoeficiencia y el objetivo de consumo nulo de recursos naturales planteados: el estudio de la ceniza de hueso de oliva (OBA) como fuente alcalina alternativa en la disolución activadora. La OBA es un residuo agrícola compuesto fundamentalmente de potasio y calcio, y se presenta como una alternativa potencial para la sustitución del hidróxido alcalino comúnmente empleado en la activación de la BFS. El empleo de la OBA se estudia inicialmente en sistemas de activación alcalina de BFS: se desarrollan, en primer lugar, sistemas binarios (BAAM) con OBA/BFS y a continuación se complementa el estudio combinando esta ceniza con la RHA constituyendo sistemas ternarios (TAAM) con OBA/BFS/RHA. Una vez sentadas las bases previas, se desarrolla la cuarta etapa experimental, se aplica por primera vez la modalidad de fabricación "one-part", que consiste en la co-molienda de todos los materiales sólidos de modo que únicamente se requiere de su mezcla con agua para la producción del material final: los nuevos ECC-OP. Estos materiales son diseñados y analizados en torno a las características funcionales exigidas por la normativa europea para la industria de los prefabricados y se evalúan medioambientalmente media / [CA] El present treball d'investigació presenta un nou concepte de formigó cel·lular basat en un consum mínim de recursos i quasi nul d'energies durant la fase de producció del material així com durant la vida útil de les edificacions: els nous formigons eco-cel·lulars "one-part" (ECC-OP). Es desenvolupa, caracteritza i avalua mediambientalment el material mitjançant un pla de treball que s'ha distribuït en passos graduals de millora. Les etapes del treball han estat centrades d'una banda en els materials constituents i d'altra banda en el procediment de fabricació. A la primera etapa de treball, s'introduïxen i investiguen els nous formigons cel·lulars geopolimèrics (GCC) i formigons cel·lulars d'activació alcalina (AACC) en els quals el ciment Pòrtland, conegut pel seu us indiscriminat i el seu gran impacte ambiental i econòmic, se substituïx per catalitzador gastat de craqueig catalític (FCC) i escòria d'alt forn (BFS) respectivament. A partir de la concepció d'estos nous materials es van introduint variables de millora: i) ús d'agents aireantes alternatius: paper d'alumini reciclat, aigua oxigenada i subproductes del tractament d'escòries salines; ii) desenvolupament del concepte de co-mòlta entre els precursors i els reactius generadors de gas alternatius; iii) combinació de generació de porositats a les matrius per medi mecànic i químic utilitzant pols d'alumini i un tensioactiu, el lauril sulfat de sodi; i iv) estudi del comportament amb l'aplicació de tractaments de curat alternatius a l'autoclau. Els materials s'estudien i comparen micro-estructuralment, s'analitzen les propietats funcionals (densitat, resistència mecànica a la compressió i conductivitat tèrmica) i s'avaluen mediambientalment. A més, es caracteritza la matriu porosa resultant combinant tècniques microscòpiques i d'anàlisi d'imatge, així com per mitjà d'assajos hídrics. En esta segona etapa de treball, s'introduïx el concepte de formigó eco-cel·lular (ECC) , en el que els silicats comercials de la dissolució activadora se substituïxen per una font alternativa de sílice procedent d'un residu agrícola: la cendra de corfa d'arròs (RHA) . S' investiguen sistemes d'ECC amb FCC i sistemes d'ECC amb BFS, en els que s'empra com a agent generador de gas el paper d'alumini residual i s'incorpora per mitjà del procediment de co-mòlta amb el precursor. Els ECCs es dissenyen per a obtindre unes propietats òptimes i es comparen amb els TCC, GCC i AACC, tant física i mecànicament com mediambientalment. Com a resultat, s'obtenen ECCs estables, amb densitats inferiors als 1000kg/cm3 i amb els que s'aconseguix una reducció de les emissions de CO2 del 74 % en el cas dels constituïts amb FCC i del 78 % per als constituïts amb BFS, respecte als sistemes tradicionals. En la tercera etapa de treball es presenta la major innovació quant a l'eco-eficiència i l'objectiu de consum nul de recursos naturals: l'estudi de la cendra d'os d'oliva (OBA) com a font alcalina alternativa per a la fabricació de la dissolució activadora. L'OBA és un residu agrícola compost fonamentalment de potassi i calci, i es presenta com una alternativa potencial per a la substitució de l'hidròxid alcalí comunament empleat en l'activació de la BFS. L'ús de l'OBA s'estudia inicialment en sistemes d'activació alcalina de BFS: sistemes binaris (BAAM) amb OBA/BFS. A continuació, es complementa l'estudi que combina l'ús de l'OBA amb la RHA constituint sistemes ternaris (TAAM) formats per OBA/BFS/RHA. Finalment, s'aplica per primera vegada la modalitat de fabricació "one-part", que consistix en la co-mòlta de tots els materials sòlids de manera que únicament es requerix de la seua mescla amb aigua per a la producció del material final: els nous ECC-OP. Estos materials són dissenyats i analitzats segons les característiques funcionals exigides per la normativa europea per a la indústria dels prefabricats i s'avaluen mediambientalment pe / [EN] In this investigation, a new concept of cellular concrete had been developed based on both the low natural resources as well as nearly zero-energy consumptions: the new one-part eco-cellular concrete (ECC-OP). The development, the characterization and the environmental assessment of the material were carried out. A working plan has been broken down into progressive stages where the improvements were focused on the constitutive materials as well as on the manufacture procedures. In the first working step, the geopolymer cellular concretes (GCC) and the alkali-activated cellular concretes (AACC) were investigated. The OPC worldwide known by its high economic costs, non-reasonable use and its environmental issues was replaced for the fluid catalytic cracking catalyst residue (FCC) and for the blast furnace slag (BFS) respectively. In the new GCC and AACC systems, steps of improvements were introduced progressively: i) the use of alternative aerating agents as the recycled aluminium foil, hydrogen peroxide and salt-slags recycled by-products; ii) a new concept of co-milling between precursors and the alternative aerating agents was introduced; iii) matrix aeration by the chemical and mechanical means where the aluminium powder was combined with the sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), and vi) alternative curing treatments to the traditional autoclave. A microstructural and functional characterisation and an environmental assessment of the materials were carried out. Furthermore, the air-void characterization was done by microscopic, image analysis and hydric tests means. In the second working step, the new eco-cellular concretes (ECC) were introduced and investigated. The silicates in the alkali-activated dissolution were replaced by an alternative silica sourced from an agricultural residue: the rice husk ash (RHA). The new systems were developed with the use of both the BFS and the FCC as precursors and the aerating agent was the recycled aluminium foils by the co-milling procedure. The optimal properties of the new ECC were investigated and a comparison with the TCC, GCC and AACC was done. The new ECCs yielded densities less than 1000kg/cm3 and, comparing with the TCC systems, the CO2 emissions were lower in 74 % when the FCC was employed and in 78 % when the BFS was employed. Finally, in the third working step, the more highlighted novelty in the ecoefficiency and the objective of near cero natural resources consumption was presented: the study of the olive-stone biomass ash (OBA) as an alternative alkali source for the activating dissolution. The OBA is a farming waste mainly composed of potassium and calcium, thus, is a well alternative to the traditional potassium hydroxide employed for the BFS activation. The OBA was firstly introduced in binary systems (BAAM) composed by OBA/BFS mixed with water. Then, the OBA and RHA were combined to the BFS activation in the new ternary systems composed 100 % by residues (TAAM). A complete characterization of the OBA, as well as the mortars and pastes manufacture procedure investigations were carried out. The microstructural, physical and mechanical characterization of the new TAAM was done to its application in the cellular concrete technology. The last working step of the present investigation consisted of the ECCs based on BFS activated with RHA and OBA. Furthermore, for the first time, the "one-part" manufacture procedure was applied to obtain the new "one-part" eco-cellular concretes (ECC-OP). The "one-part" consist of the co-milling of all solid materials and their mix with water to obtain the cellular concrete (similar to the traditional OPC procedure). The materials were designed from scratch: dosages, characterization, comparisons with the TCC, AACC and ECC, European standards compliments. Furthermore, environmental issues of the ECC-OP through the cradle-to-gate modality of the life circle analysis (LCA) were evaluated obtaining their 100 years Global Warming Potential (GWP-100). / Font Pérez, A.
