En el Perú existen pequeñas empresas envasadoras de aceite que han comenzado a producir sus propios envases, con diseños básicos, equipos manuales y con baja productividad, lo que implica que no logren avanzar y en enfocarse en su Core Business, la producción y venta de aceite, y no ser rentables. Para ello la propuesta es el desarrollo de nuevos diseños de envases o mejorar los existentes, fabricación de moldes de alta performance, mejorar la productividad, y que el cliente pueda tener disponibilidad y flexibilidad de envases que van en acorde con su Plan de Producción, logrando de esta manera que el cliente se enfoque en su Core Business, al tener este proceso tercerizado; de esta manera contará con alto valor agregado a su producto y podrá desarrollar nuevas estrategias de ventas para su crecimiento y desarrollo, minimizando riesgos para su negocio. En este Trabajo de Investigación se demuestra que los procesos de tercerización en el soplado de envases plásticos en pequeña y medianas empresas envasadoras de aceite es muy importante, porque colabora en poder desarrollar nuestras estrategias de mercado como: nuevos formatos, nuevas marcas, diferentes diseños, etc.; lo que hace que al producto final sea más asequible a los consumidores y a diversos segmentos de mercado, al tener un socio estratégico que camina con el cliente con el desarrollos de nuevos proyectos. El modelo de negocio CANVAS, planteado para el desarrollo de este Trabajo de Investigación, logra visualizar de mejor manera la propuesta de valor para estos negocios, lo que no implica que estos modelos sean de exclusividad para envasadoras de aceite, sino también para el envasado de diversos productos como jugos, néctares y otros; el cual podría ser de gran impacto para los productos de agroexportación, y poder darles mayor valor agregado a los productores nacionales. / In Peru, there are many small oil packaging companies that have started to produce their own packages, with basic designs, manual equipment and low productivity, which means they can’t progress nor focus on their Core Business, oil production and sales, and they are not profitable. For that reason, we propose to create new packages designs or improve those that already exist, produce high performance molds, improve productivity and offer clients packages in line with their Production Plan. In that way, clients will focus on their Core Business because that process will be outsourced, their products will have a high added value and they will be able to put into practice new sale strategies in order to grow and develop with minimum risks for their business. This Research Project proves that the outsourcing process in plastic blow molding packages in small and medium-sized oil packaging companies is very important, because it helps develop new market strategies: new formats, new brands, different designs, etc., which makes the final product more affordable to consumers and diverse market segments, given that the company has a strategic partner who supports the new projects of the client. The Business Model CANVAS, used to develop this Research Project, visualizes better the value proposal for this type of business. Although, this model is not exclusive for oil packaging companies, but also for many different packaging companies like juice packaging companies, etc. This can have a huge impact in agro-export products, and it can add value to national producers. / Tesis

In programming languages, record types give a universe of discourse (via so-called Σ-types); parameterised record types fix parts of that universe ahead of time (via Π-types), and algebraic datatypes give us first-class syntax (via W-types), which can then be used to program, e.g., evaluators and optimisers. A frequently-encountered issue in library design for statically-typed languages is that, for example, the algebraic datatype implementing the first-class view of the language induced by a record declaration cannot be defined by simple reference to the record type declaration, nor to any common “source”. This leads to unwelcome repetition, and to maintenance burdens. Similarly, the “unbundling problem” concerns similar repetition that arises for variants of record types where some fields are turned into parameters. The goal of this thesis is to show how, in dependently-typed languages (DTLs), algebraic datatypes and parameterised record types can be obtained from a single pragmatic declaration within the dependently-typed language itself, without using a separate “module language”. Besides this practical shared declaration interface, which is extensible in the language, we also find that common data structures correspond to simple theories. Put simply, the thesis is about making tedious and inexpressible patterns of programming in DTLs (dependently typed languages) become mechanical and expressible. The situations described above occur frequently when working in a dependently-typed language, and it is reasonable enough to have the computer handle them. We develop a notion of contexts that serve as common source for definitions of algebraic datatype and of parameterised record types, and demonstrate a “language” of “package operations” that enables us to avoid the above-mentioned replication that pervades current library developments. On the one hand, we demonstrate an implementation of that language as integrated editor functionality — this makes it possible to directly emulate the different solutions that are employed in current library developments, and refactor these into a shape that uses single declaration of contexts, thus avoiding the usual repetition that is otherwise required for provision of record types at different levels of parameterisation and of algebraic datatypes. On the other hand, we will demonstrate that the power of dependently-typed languages is sufficient to implement such package operations in a statically-typed manner within the language; using this approach will require adapting to the accordingly-changed library interfaces. Although our development uses the dependently-typed programming language Agda throughout, we emphasise that the idea is sufficiently generic to be implemented in other DTLs. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / There are things we want to use from various perspectives, our tools show that this is possible without any duplication and in a practical and efficient fashion.

Det globala matsystemet står inför enorma miljö- och hälsoutmaningar för attnå hållbar utveckling. Forskning på området visar att för att matsystemet skakunna rymmas inom de planetära gränserna krävs förändringar inom såvälproduktion, minskat matsvinn och kostvanor (Willet et al. 2019). Enligt Rööset al. (2020) finns det inte något som tyder på att detta kommer att ske spontantutan det behövs politiskt beslutade styrmedel (Röös et al. 2020).Forskningsplattformen SLU Future Food presenterade i augusti 2020 rapportenStyrmedel för hållbar matkonsumtion – en kunskapsöversikt och vägar framåt.Den kartlägger kunskapsläget inom hållbar matkonsumtion och beskriver 17möjliga statliga styrmedel inom området. De 17 styrmedlen är uppdelade i trekategorier utifrån vilka mekanismer staten kan använda sig av. Rapportenbeskriver att arbetet i offentlig sektor behöver intensifieras, att det behövsnationella mål för en hållbar matkonsumtion samt att det bör utvecklas ochinföras effektiva och attraktiva styrmedelspaket (Röös et al. 2020).Syftet med denna studie är att fastställa hur Sveriges åtta riksdagspartierförhåller sig till de fakta och behov av framtida åtgärder som SLU:s rapportvisar. Dels undersöker jag om partierna vill verka för införandet av mål för enhållbar matkonsumtion i linje med redan beslutade klimat- och miljömål, delshur partierna förhåller sig till införandet av de 17 styrmedel som föreslås avSLU Future Food. För detta ändamål har en kvalitativ och kvantitativ enkätanvänts. Underlaget till enkätdesignen är rapporten från SLU Future Food.Respondenterna för respektive parti är ledamöter inom Miljö- ochjordbruksutskottet då de arbetar med miljö- och klimatpolitik i Sverige ochförbereder Riksdagens beslut i miljömålsarbetet (Sveriges Riksdag 2021).Undersökningens resultat visar att styrmedel i kategorin Kunskap och stödgenerellt sett är mer accepterat bland partierna än styrmedel inom kategorinFörändrade relativpriser och Reglering och krav. Vidare står det klart att ingetav Sveriges åtta riksdagspartier kommer, inför sin kommande mandatperiod2022–2026, verka för införandet av styrmedelspaketet i sin helhet. Slutsatsen äratt det finns en tydlig diskrepans mellan de uppsatta nationella ochinternationella miljö- och klimatmålen och de politiska partiernas intentionergentemot konsumenten i frågan, samt att den politiska viljan att minska dennadiskrepans generellt är begränsad till enbart vissa styrmedel med låg/långsamgenomslagskraft. / The global food system is facing enormous environmental and healthchallenges to achieve sustainable development. Research in the field showsthat in order for the food system to be contained within the planetaryboundaries, changes are required in production, reduced food waste and dietaryhabits (Willet et al. 2019). According to Röös et al. (2020) there is noindication that this will happen spontaneously, but politically decidedinstruments are needed (Röös et al. 2020).In August 2020, the research platform SLU Future Food presented the reportInstruments for Sustainable Food Consumption - an Overview of Knowledgeand Ways Forward. The report is a survey of the level of knowledge insustainable food consumption and describes 17 possible instruments in thearea. The 17 instruments are divided into three categories based on whichmechanisms the state can use. The report shows that work in the public sectorneeds to be intensified, that national goals are needed for sustainable foodconsumption and that effective and attractive policy packages should bedeveloped and implemented (Röös et al. 2020).The purpose of this study is to examine how Sweden's eight parliamentaryparties relate to the facts and necessary future measures shown in the SLUreport. This is done by investigating whether the parties are willing to adoptgoals for sustainable food consumption that are in line with already decidedclimate and environmental goals and how the parties relate to theimplementation of the 17 instruments proposed by SLU Future Food. For thispurpose, a qualitative and quantitative questionnaire was used. The basis forthe survey design is the report from SLU Future Food. The respondents fromeach party are members of the Committee for the Environment and Agricultureas they are working with environmental and climate policies in Sweden andprepare the Swedish Parliament’s decisions relating to environmental goals(Swedish Parliament 2021).The results of the investigation show that instruments in the categoryKnowledge and Support are generally more accepted among the parties thaninstruments in the categories Changed Relative Prices and Regulation andRequirements. Further, it is clear that none of Sweden's eight parliamentaryparties will, before their forthcoming term of office 2022–2026, promote theimplementation of the policy package in its entirety. The conclusion is thatthere is an evident discrepancy between the national and internationalenvironmental and climate goals and the political parties’ intentions towardsthe consumer in this matter, and political willingness to decrease thisdiscrepancy is generally limited to measures with low/slow impact. / <p>2021-06-04</p>

Denna uppsats ämnade att undersöka tre branschers reaktioner på de ekonomiska effekterna av corona-pandemin: restaurang-&amp; hotellbranschen, detaljhandelsbranschen och transportbranschen genom att undersöka tre perioder: före, under och efter pandemin. Resultatet visade att antalet konkurser minskade under pandemin där det förväntades öka, och efter pandemin ökade det i stället.  Fokus ligger även på en alternativ förklaringsvariabel: stödpaket, som infördes för att mildra de ekonomiska effekterna av pandemin, vilket ansågs ha påverkat resultatet från dataanalysen.

The results showed that the number of bankruptcies decreased during the pandemic where it was expected to increase, and after the pandemic it increased instead.  The focus is also on an alternative explanatory variable: support packages, which were introduced to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic, which was considered to have influenced the results of the data analysis. The focus was on an alternative explanatory variable: support packages, which were introduced during the pandemic to mitigate the economic impact, which was considered to have influenced the results from the analysis presented.

Résumé : Ce projet fait partie du projet MFERD (Magnésium Front End Research and Development) qui vise à développer les technologies permettant de rendre les alliages de Magnésium (Mg) comme un principal matériau structural pour les voitures (aujourd'hui essentiellement constituées d'acier quatre fois plus lourd que le Mg) afin d'en réduire leur masse pour des raisons environnementales et sécuritaires. Dans ce travail de maîtrise nous avons regardé la partie acoustique dans le cas d'un tablier (structure métallique derrière le tableau de bord) en magnésium. En effet, le confort acoustique à l'intérieur des voitures est devenu un argument de marketing d'une grande importance. Le tablier en séparant le compartiment moteur, source de bruit, de l'habitacle, joue un rôle important dans l'isolation acoustique de l'intérieur de la voiture. Ainsi le passage d'un tablier en acier à un tablier en Mg ne doit pas entraîner une baisse de performance. Dans ce travail, nous avons d'abord effectué une revue de la littérature sur les types de traitements acoustiques utilisés dans l'industrie automobile ainsi que des différentes techniques de leur modélisation. Nous avons ensuite comparé les performances acoustiques du tablier en Mg sur lequel on a appliqué des traitements classiques (à une couche, deux couches et trois couches) à celles des tabliers en acier et en aluminium et ce, à masse surfacique, raideur et/ou fréquences de résonnances égales. Finalement nous avons optimisé différents concepts de traitements acoustiques innovants appliqués sur le tablier en Mg en vue d'avoir des performances acoustiques semblables ou supérieures à celles du tablier en acier classique. L'optimisation s'est faite à partir d'un modèle SEA (Statitical Energy Analysis) couplé à un code d'optimisation basé sur un algorithme génétique||Abstract : This work is part of the MFERD (Magnesium Front End Research and Development) project which goal is to develop enabling technologies for the use of magnesium alloys as a principal structural material for cars (mainly made in steel which is four time heavier than magnesium) in order to reduce their mass for both, environmental and security concerns. In this work we have focused on the acoustic part, in the case of a magnesium alloy dash panel. The dash board, by separating the engine compartment from the interior cabin, plays a critical role in the insulation of the car interior. Since the acoustic comfort inside the car has become a marketing argument of great importance, the passage from steel to magnesium dash panel should not deteriorate acoustic performances. In this work, we first conducted a literature review on the types of acoustic treatments used in the automotive industry as well as various techniques of their modeling. We then compared the acoustic performances of a Mg dash with attached traditional acoustic treatments (single-layer, two layers and three layers) to those of a steel and aluminum dash panels with the same mass density, stiffness and/or frequency of resonances. Finally, we optimized different concepts of innovative sound packages applied on the Mg dash panel to achieve a noise performance similar or superior to those of a conventional steel dash. The optimization was done using a SEA (Statitical Energy Analysis) model, coupled with an optimization code based on a genetic algorithm.

During the 2000s, the former UK Government introduced the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) in an attempt to increase the relevance of qualifications and the qualification level of the UK labour force (HMSO 2006). However views about the value of the QCF and qualifications generally are contested. Through longitudinal case study research, the thesis finds a vocational purpose for qualifications that supports a culture of continuous improvement. This results in models that contribute to thinking about vocational learning and the role of qualifications, and provide a conceptional bridge between paradigms of workplace learning and concepts of organisational excellence. The thesis explores common understanding of learning and skills to explain issues relating to National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and the QCF. In particular the thesis identifies significant implementation problems for the QCF due to differing ontological and epistemological understanding of the meaning of skills and their measurement, and requirements for different delivery and assessment models. In addition, the study identifies that rapidly changing organisational arrangements and regulation hinder the establishment of a more diverse and inclusive QCF. The thesis concludes that the QCF best fits Hager’s (2002) concept of learning that encompasses learning of many different kinds. Also the QCF is valuable as a flexible framework that establishes a degree of order in complex, rapidly changing learning environments. However the qualifications require broadly specified assessment criteria, and links to external communities of practice and associated learning packages.

Behavioral skills training (BST) packages have been successful in increasing change agents’ correct implementation of various procedures. The current study evaluated the effects of a brief BST package to train daycare teachers to implement incidental teaching procedures with toddlers. The brief BST consisted of a set of written instructions, a two-minute video model, rehearsal, and feedback during session. Results demonstrated that teachers increased their correct implementation of incidental teaching procedures following training. In addition, two of the three toddlers increased the frequency of signs to request attention.

This study was conducted in order to find alternatives to recycle the paper from the long life carton packages, through the incorporation of fibers in a matrix of recycled polyethylene. For this research was added 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of cellulose fibers in the polymer matrix by in single screw extrusion process and conformation of specimens by injection. To check the features obtained from the formulations prepared samples were subjected to tensile test and bending, morphological characterization by scanning electron microscopy, infrared and DSC tests as the Hot Stage. Through tensile and bending tests was possible to prove the increase in stiffness and the yield stress of the polymer with the addition of cellulose fibers. FTIR analysis showed that degradation of LDPE used in the research, coming from industrial waste, was not significant. In terms of thermal characterization, performed by testing DSC on Hot Stage, the presence of cellulose fibers neither affected the melting temperature of the material nor submitted nucleating effect, did not changing the temperature of crystallization of the matrix LDPE. / Buscar novas formas de reciclagem e novos materiais a partir da mistura de materiais que já foram utilizados é importante para garantir a sustentabilidade e dar continuidade à cadeia dos produtos. O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de encontrar alternativas para reciclar o papel proveniente das embalagens cartonadas longa vida, através da incorporação das fibras em uma matriz de polietileno reciclado. Para isso foram adicionados 5%, 10%, 15% e 20% de fibras de celulose na matriz polimérica através do processo de extrusão em equipamento de rosca simples e conformação de corpos de prova por injeção. Para verificar as características obtidas nas formulações preparadas as amostras foram submetidas a ensaios mecânicos de tração e flexão e caracterização morfológica através dos ensaios como microscopia eletrônica de varredura, infravermelho e caracterização térmica em DSC-Hot Stage. Através dos ensaios mecânicos de flexão e tração foi possível comprovar o aumento na rigidez e da tensão de escoamento do polímero com a adição de fibras de celulose. A degradação do PEBD utilizado oriundo de resíduo industrial não se mostrou significativa, a partir de análises de FTIR. Em termos de caracterização térmica, realizada através do ensaio de DSC na Hot Stage, foi possível verificar que a presença de fibras de celulose não interferiu na temperatura de fusão do material e também não apresentou efeito nucleante, não alterando a temperatura de cristalização da matriz de PEBD.
