This bachelor thesis examines how terms of heterosexuality are negotiated within the Swedish reality show Gift vid första ögonkastet (Married at first sight), which is presented as a social experiment where strangers marry each other and go on to live together for four weeks. The couples are matched by four experts (two psychologists, one sexologist and one couple’s counsellor), and their roles as professionals and distributors of knowledge are the main focus of this study as it permeates how the terms are negotiated by the six participants. By applying queer theories such as the heterosexual matrix, performativity and temporality, the terms are identified as monogamy, height difference, desire, emotional labour, and equality. These are analysed using the three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis, while also adopting its framework for ideological power to examine how the experts use their position to give way for their interpretations of relationships, love and gender. The findings conclude that the programme works within a discourse of gender equality to support its own eligibility and does not challenge heterosexual ideals but rather furthers them by offering the heteronormative idea of monogamous love as a solution to a supposed increase of loneliness.

This gap may result from an underestimation of the importance of human subjectivity in its social context in making decisions that affect the o organization. This research was conducted along the lines of symbolic interactionism and followed the methodological procedures of Grounded Theory. The data were collected through 18 interviews with 12 entrepreneurs in the industry, and were analyzed with the help of the software ATLAS/ti. Entrepreneurs who had export conduct were those who own the company as an instrument to achieve economic, social, and self rewards. The entrepreneurs who did not present export conduct were those who own the company only as a tool for economic reward. For these, the company is not the result of a vocational option, but rather a means by which one gets financial security for oneself and one s own, or even it serves as a substitute to the failure of one's financial or professional aspirations. Moreover, it was possible to identify differences in conduct among exporters which are associated with the different subjective psychosocial behavior of the entrepreneurs, and it was possible to group them into four profiles: grouped proactive, independent proactive, independent reactive, and grouped reactive. / Pesquisas voltadas a identificar as razões da baixa inserção da indústria brasileira no comércio internacional não têm dado conta de responder o porquê algumas empresas optam pela exportação e outras não, mesmo estando geograficamente estabelecidas uma ao lado da outra, manufaturando produtos semelhantes, sujeitas as mesmas condições ambientais. Tal hiato pode decorrer da subestimação da importância da subjetividade humana em seu contexto social na tomada de decisões que afetam a organização. Esta pesquisa foi conduzida inspirada na perspectiva do interacionismo simbólico e nos procedimentos metodológicos da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Os dados foram coletados mediante 18 entrevistas com 12 empresários do setor e analisadas com o apoio do software ATLAS/ti. Os empresários que apresentaram conduta exportadora são aqueles que têm a empresa como instrumento para alcançar recompensas de ordem econômica, do SELF e sociais. Não apresentaram conduta exportadora os empresários que têm a empresa unicamente como instrumento de recompensa econômica. Para estes, a empresa não é fruto de uma opção vocacional, mas desempenha a função de garantia financeira sua e dos seus, ou ainda, serve de sucedâneo ao malogro de sua aspiração profissional ou financeira. Por outro lado, foi possível identificar diferentes condutas exportadoras, as quais estão associadas diferentes condutas psicossociais subjetivas dos empresários que permitiram agrupálos em quatro perfis: Proativo consorciado; Proativo independente; Reativo independente; Reativo consorciado

We set up a trade model with heterogeneous firms and a worker population that is heterogeneous in two dimensions: workers are either skilled or unskilled, and within each skill category there is a continuum of abilities. Workers with high abilities, both skilled and unskilled, are matched to firms with high productivities, and this leads to wage differentials within each skill category across firms. Self-selection of the most productive firms into exporting generates an exporter wage premium, and our framework with skilled and unskilled workers allows us to decompose this premium into its skill-specific components. We employ linked employer-employee data from Germany to structurally estimate the parameters of the model. Using these parameter estimates, we compute an average exporter wage premium of 5 percent. The decomposition by skill turns out to be quantitatively highly relevant, with exporting firms paying no wage premium at all to their unskilled workers, while the premium for skilled workers is 12 percent.

En los últimos años, en nuestro país, el arroz es el producto más consumido por la población peruana y su principal consumidor en el extranjero, es el mercado colombiano, ya que, gracias al acuerdo entre ambos países, se logró obtener mejores negociaciones comerciales, favoreciendo la economía de los dos países. Además, según la FAO (2018) a nivel de América, el Perú se ubica en el tercer lugar de los países más importantes en producción y rendimiento de arroz. Por esta razón, el presente trabajo de investigación tiene como finalidad determinar si la innovación productiva se relaciona con el desempeño exportador de las empresas peruanas exportadoras del arroz durante el período 2016-2019, teniendo como dimensiones (i) innovación de producto, (ii) innovación de procesos y (iii) de tecnología, extraídas de la búsqueda en antecedentes o papers, y también, están mencionadas en la matriz de operalización y consistencia del proyecto. Asimismo, el enfoque de la presente investigación es mixta, con diseño de transversal correlacional, porque tenemos dos variables de estudio, las cuales son la innovación productiva (independiente) y el desempeño exportador (dependiente). Dentro de la metodología, se aplicó la técnica cualitativa a través de las entrevistas a profundidad, en las cuales se entrevistó a 10 expertos del tema y la información recopilada se analizó en el software Atlas Ti. Asimismo, para el enfoque cuantitativo se realizó encuestas online a escalas de Likert a 17 empresas exportadoras arroceras del Perú y los resultados se analizaron en el software SPSS. Cabe resaltar que ambas técnicas, nos permitieron validar la hipótesis del proyecto y del mismo modo, se identificó que las dimensiones i) innovación de producto e iii) innovación de tecnología están relacionadas con el desempeño exportador. En cambio, (ii) la innovación de procesos no se relaciona con el desempeño exportador. Estos resultados se detallan mejor en la discusión de resultados y conclusiones del proyecto. Asimismo, para tener mayor profundidad y correlación de las variables se aplicó el coeficiente estadístico Rho Spearman, el cual se obtuvo como resultado, que la innovación productiva si se relaciona con el desempeño exportador de las empresas peruanas exportadoras de arroz durante el período 2016-2019. / In recent years, in our country, rice is the product most consumed by the Peruvian population and its main consumer abroad is in the Colombian market, since, thanks to the agreement between both countries, better commercial negotiations were achieved, favoring the economy of the two countries. In addition, according to FAO (2018) at the American level, Peru is located in the third place of the most important countries in rice production and yield. For this reason, the present research work aims to determine whether productive innovation is related to the export performance of Peruvian rice exporting companies during the 2016-2019 period, having as dimensions (i) product innovation, (ii) process innovation and (iii) technology, extracted from the search in antecedents or papers, and are also mentioned in the operationalization and consistency matrix of the project. Likewise, the approach of this research is mixed, with a cross-correlational design, because we have two study variables, which are productive innovation (independent) and export performance (dependent). Within the methodology, the qualitative technique was applied through in-depth interviews, in which 10 experts on the subject were interviewed and the information collected was analyzed in the Atlas Ti software. Also, in the quantitative approach, online surveys were conducted on Likert scales in 17 Peruvian rice exporting companies and the results were analyzed in the SPSS software. It should be noted that both techniques allowed us to validate the hypothesis of the project and in the same way, it was identified that the dimensions of product innovation and technology are related to export performance. In contrast, process innovation is not related to export performance. These results are best detailed in the discussion of project results and conclusions. Likewise, to have greater depth and correlation of the variables, the Rho Spearman statistical coefficient was applied, which was obtained as a result that productive innovation is related to the export performance of Peruvian rice exporting companies during the period 2016-2019. / Tesis

In several countries drawback is a tool for promoting non-traditional exports. However, this custom procedure can not be used by all producers-exporters companies because its use involves strict compliance of the conditions approved by customs law. In the peruvian case, the level of use of drawback is more intensive in certain industries, providing a support for the competitiveness of companies which should be strategically used. / En diversos países el drawback es un mecanismo de promoción de las exportaciones no tradicionales. Sin embargo, este régimen aduanero no puede ser utilizado por todas las empresas productoras-exportadoras pues su acogimiento implica el estricto cumplimiento de las condiciones aprobadas en la legislación aduanera. En el caso peruano, el nivel de utilización del drawback es más intensivo en determinadas industrias, lo que constituye un apoyo para la competitividad de las empresas que debería ser estratégicamente utilizado.

Relying on the Export Base Theory, which says that expansion of exports has a multiplier effect on the activities of domestic non-exporting, impacting the tertiary sector of the local economy by creating demand for services and increasing income levels and employment of the population, this dissertation seeks to characterize the trade in Sergipe and show criteria that can support strategies to promote exports. Therefore, initially characterized the importance of foreign trade to economic growth and the factors relevant to its expansion. To this end, it approaches the theoretical aspects related to the Theory of Export Base and the Economic Base, and characterized by analysis of patterns of international trade, what are the main determinants of exports at the firm. Next, in order to extract lessons, includes examples of countries that have adopted an export-oriented model as a strategy for economic growth and achieved success, highlighting the case of Italy, South Korea and Mexico. In addition, we carried out a characterization of the main actions and instruments that, in general, have been developed in Brazil, considering the increasing export activity. Finally, it is a specific analysis for the State of Sergipe, which is divided into two main parts. The first part takes place a characterization of the economy, pointing out which are the major economic sectors and what the main features of its foreign trade, especially those related to exports. In the second part, suggestions are based on the theory of comparative advantage, the products of Sergipe with higher export potential. The results indicate that a total of 99 items exported by Sergipe in 2007, 35 have no export potential, 8 are dynamic and, 56 have export potential. / Fundamentando-se na Teoria da Base Exportadora, a qual preconiza que a expansão das exportações exerce um efeito multiplicador sobre as atividades do mercado interno não exportador, impactando no setor terciário da economia local por meio da criação de demanda por serviços e, por conta disso, incrementando os níveis de renda e de emprego da população, esta dissertação procura caracterizar o comércio exterior em Sergipe e apresentar critérios que possam subsidiar estratégias de promoção de exportações. Para tanto, caracteriza-se inicialmente a importância das vendas externas para o crescimento econômico e quais os fatores relevantes para sua expansão. Com este intuito, abordam-se no referencial teórico os aspectos referentes à Teoria da Base Exportadora e da Base Econômica, além de assinalar, através da análise dos modelos de comércio internacional, quais seriam os principais determinantes para as exportações, ao nível da firma. Na seqüência, com o objetivo de se extrair lições, apresentam-se exemplos de países que adotaram um modelo voltado para exportação como estratégia de crescimento econômico e que obtiveram êxito, destacando-se o caso da Itália, da Coréia do Sul e do México. Além disso, realiza-se uma caracterização das principais ações e instrumentos que, no âmbito geral, vêm sendo desenvolvidas no Brasil, tendo em vista o incremento da atividade exportadora. Por fim, faz-se uma análise específica para o Estado de Sergipe, sendo esta dividida em duas partes principais. Na primeira realizase uma caracterização econômica do Estado apontando quais são os seus principais setores econômicos e quais as principais características do seu comércio exterior, sobretudo, àquelas relacionadas às exportações. Na segunda parte, apontam-se, com base na Teoria das Vantagens Comparativas, quais os produtos de Sergipe que apresentam maior potencial exportador. Os resultados indicam que, de um total de 99 itens exportados por Sergipe em 2007, 35 não apresentam potencial exportador, 8 são dinâmicos e, 56 apresentam potencial exportador.

This master thesis deals with the problems of memory reduction in the stateful network traffic processing. Its goal is to explore new possibilities of memory reduction during network processing. As an introduction this thesis provides motivation and reasons for need to search new method for the memory reduction. In the following part there are theoretical analyses of NetFlow technology and two basic methods which can in principle reduce memory demands of stateful processing. Later on, there is described the design and implementation of solution which contains the application of these two methods to NetFlow architecture. The final part of this work summarizes the main properties of this solution during interaction with real data.
