Para lidar com estas transformações, as empresas industriais passaram por processos de reestruturação produtiva, que envolveu as formas de organização da produção, as relações de trabalho, as estratégias espaciais, o papel do Estado etc. Esta pesquisa analisa as particularidades do processo de reestruturação produtiva na indústria de calçados do município de Birigüi-SP e constata que o mesmo esta permeado por mudanças inspiradas no modelo toyotista e por permanências do modelo de produção anterior. Da mesma forma, buscamos entender como surge a indústria calçadista em Birigui bem como suas articulações com o processo de desconcentração industrial no Estado de São Paulo. A história do desenvolvimento industrial na cidade mostrou que se trata de um caso típico de industrialização endógena, porém articulado com o processo de interiorização das atividades econômicas no estado. Por último, verificou-se o desenvolvimento industrial da cidade foi acompanhado pela presença de economias externas, de localização e urbanização / The transformations in the working processes, in consumption, in geographical configurations, and in the role of the State at the end of 20th century, open a new phase of the industrial mode of production as they are changing the fordist premises about production. In order to deal with these transformations, industrial enterprises passed by processes of productive restructuring that embraced the organization of production, labor relations, spatial strategies, the role of the State, and so on. This dissertation analyses the particularities of the process of productive restructuring in the shoe industry of Birigui-State of São Paulo, Brazil. We jumped to the conclusion that this process is permeated by changes inspired by toyotist model and by features of the old model. Another goal of this work was to understand how shoe industry begun at the city, and the connections of this economic activity with the process of industrial deconcentration in the state of São Paulo. Our historical research showed that the industrial development of the city is a typical case of endogenous industrialization articulated, however, with the process of interiorization of economic activities at the State of São Paulo. Finally, we verified that the city‟s industrial development was followed by the presence of external economies of location and urbanization

The press-section of a paper machine holds several different types of press rolls. One of the many press roll variants is the Valmet produced press roll, ViscoNip. This press roll utilizes an extended nip in order to increase the amount of water removed. The extended press nip in ViscoNip is special since it is controllable by a pressurized polyurethane press shoe. The press shoe runs through the body of the press roll. Due to limits of the current production process, new manufacturing methods and construction solutions are needed. In cooperation with another thesis, the current design and manufacturing process was reviewed and a plan intended to improve the current solution was formulated. The plan was to, by working together in a project, perform a product development process intended to create concepts able to utilize new methods of manufacturing. By using established methods of concept generation, such as Brainwriting 6-3-5, 11 concepts were created. Some of these concepts involved a redesign of the press shoe, leading to a need for construction and performance analysis. With the other thesis focusing on researching new possible and available manufacturing solutions. The work of this thesis fully committed to the structural and mechanical performance evaluation of the new concepts. This was performed by creating a model of the technical application using Finite Element Modelling in ABAQUS. The model included a hyperelastic material model for the polyurethane material as well as cohesive zone modelling to account for partitioning of the part. The model was then used to simulate the different concepts as they were subjected to a challenging load case. The results of which were used as the basis for structural and performance analysis. The analysis showed proof of sufficient structural stability and mechanical performance for all evaluated concepts. Then, in cooperation with the other thesis, a final concept choice was made. All in all, three different redesigned concepts were deemed as having potential for further development. The current solution was also deemed as having potential for future development but only when new manufacturing methods or techniques were considered.

Bakgrund: I Sverige är den generella uppfattningen att det vid val av vardagssko är rekommenderat att välja en sportsko framför en canvas tennissko. Tidigare studier har jämfört hur olika skomodeller påverkar gången, men ingen har studerat skillnader mellan sportskor och canvas tennisskor. Syfte: Undersöka hur en sko med instabil läst och platt bindsula (canvas tennissko) samt en sko med en stadig läst, en sula med bra stötdämpning och avrullning (sportsko) påverkar den mediolaterala stabiliteten olika under stödfasen. Metod: Gånganalys på fem kvinnliga deltagare. Kinetisk och kinematisk data samlades in med hjälp av ett 3D-rörelseanalyssystem. Resultat: Rörelseomfånget skiljer sig mer mellan deltagare än skomodeller. Sportskor har ett försumbart lägre rörelseomfång än canvas tennisskor. Sportskor ger mer inverterad gång än Canvas tenniskor. Steglängden och stödfasen (stance time) skiljer inte mellan de två skomodellerna. Slutsats: Fotens rörelseomfång i frontalplanet skiljer sig inte mellan canvas tennisskor och sportskor under stödfasen, men sportskon har en mer inverterad rörelse. / Background: In Sweden it is a general perception that a sports shoe is a better choice than a canvas tennis shoe for everyday use. Previous studies have investigated how different shoe models affect the gait, but none have studied the differences between sport shoes and canvas tennis shoes. Aim: Investigate how a shoe with unstable last and a flat insole (canvas tennis shoe) and a shoe with steady last, a sole with good shock absorbing and roll off (sport shoe) affect the mediolateral stability differently during stance. Methods: Gait analysis on five female participants. Kinetic and kinematic data collected with3D-modionanalysis system. Results: The range of motion differs more between participants than between shoe models. The sport shoe have a negligible lower range of motion than the canvas tennis shoe. Walking in sport shoe shows a more inverted gait than gait in canvas tennis shoe. Step length and stance time are the same in both shoe models. Conclusion: The range of motion and motion pattern of the foot in the coronal plane does not differ between canvas tennis shoes and sport shoes during stance phase, but the sport shoe has a more inverted motion.

The other thesis focusing on the structural and mechanical performance evaluation of the new concepts. The work of this thesis focusing on researching new possible and available manufacturing solutions. The new concepts were analyzed with new and possible manufacturing methods to fulfill all the requirements. With all data, a document was created and market research was made to get feedback from more knowledgeable in the subject. Moreover, sequence analysis between the concepts with the current and those new manufacturing methods was made to further explain which manufacturing method that could solve the main problem. All in all, one different redesigned concept was deemed as having potential for further development. The current solution was also deemed as having potential for future development but only when new manufacturing methods or techniques were considered.

Purpose: A common prescription in Prosthetic and orthotic clinics in Sweden is custom-made foot orthoses (CmFO). These must be placed in shoes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the shoe type will have an impact on the effectiveness of CmFO regarding plantar pressure (PP).  Method: PP data was collected during gait from two healthy participants while wearing two pairs of different shoe types, a stable walking shoe and a flexible canvas shoe, with CmFO and original shoe insoles (OSI) respectively. The in-shoe F-scan system was used for data collection. Results: Going from canvas shoe to walking shoe showed reduced peak PP with around 40% in the forefoot and 27-50% in the heel. The walking shoe increased midfoot pressure >90% for both participants compared to the canvas shoe. The use of CmFO reduced the peak PP in the heel by 35-41% in the walking shoe and 9-44% in the canvas shoe.  Conclusion: The CmFO reduced peak PP in the heel and spread the pressure to the midfoot in both types of shoes but had bigger impact in the walking shoe. The walking shoe with OSI generated lower peak PP under the forefoot and heel than the canvas shoe with CmFO. / Syfte: En vanlig förskrivning på ortopedtekniska kliniker i Sverige är individuellt formgjutna fotortoser vilka måste placeras i skor. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka huruvida skotypen påverkar effekten av sådana fotortoser med hänsyn till plantartryck.  Metod: Data för plantartryck samlades in under gång från två friska deltagare bärandes två olika par av skor, en stabil Walking-sko och en flexibel canvassko, med individuellt formgjutna fotortoser respektive originalsulor genom att använda in-shoe  F-Scan systemet.  Resultat: Vid övergång från canvasskon till walking-skon minskade högsta plantartryck med ca 40% i framfot och 27-50% i hälen. Walking-skon ökade trycket i mellanfoten med över 90% för båda deltagarna jämfört med canvasskon. Användandet av individuellt formgjutna fotortoser sänkte högsta plantartryck i hälen med 35-41% i walkingskon och 9-44% i canvasskon.  Slutsats: De individuellt formgjutna fotortoserna sänkte högsta plantartryck i hälen och spred trycket mot mellanfoten i båda typerna av skor men hade en större påverkan i walking-skon. Walking-skon med originalsulor genererade lägre högsta plantartryck under framfoten och hälen än canvasskon med individuellt formgjutna fotortoser.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of change in transverse tibial rotation at the knee achieved through the use of shoe modification. In addition, an attempt to evaluate the Q-angle dynamically through the stance phase to reflect changes in transverse tibial rotation was made. Ten male subjects were filmed as they ran on a treadmill at a 2.82 m/sec pace and transverse tibial rotation data was collected simultaneously from an affixed electrogoniometer at the knee joint. The subjects were tested under three conditions: 1) barefoot, 2) running shoe, and 3) shoe plus standard orthotic. The results of the study showed that an unprescribed, standard orthotic was ineffective in changing foot pronation and transverse tibial rotation at the knee. It also showed that there was no relationship between leg-heel alignment measurements of pronation and electrogoniometric measurements of transverse tibial rotation. Q-angle measurements could not be obtained from the film date due to difficulty in visualizing body landmarks.

The purpose of the study was to determine the practices of a selected number of chain shoe store organizations in training management personnel for their retail shoe outlets. The data secured from these sources will also be compared with the opinions of several authorities in the field of management to determine the extent to which the practices in actual use agree with those recommended.

Title: Quantification of plantar pressure distribution and geometry of forefoot according to the character of shoes Objectives: The main purpose of this thesis is to describe and verify the changes in the sole of the foot according to the style of shoe which are manifested by changes in the values of the maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and changes in pressure time integral. The next object is to verify the changes in forefoot geometry according to the style of shoes. Methodology: The sample consisted of 6 healthy women of average age 25 ± 1 year. All study participants reported wearing high-heeled shoes occasionally which means not more than twice per week. The measurement was realized with the Pedar-X in-shoe pressure measurement system (Novel) and motion capture system Qualisys. Results were analysed statistically using Wilcoxon test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0,05. Results: From the received data we could find out the changes that footwear causes in healthy people. The findings of this study indicate that the use of different style of shoes affect all measured parameters such as maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and pressure time integral.From the experiment evaluation, it is clear that the style of shoes may also affect the geometry of forefoot.

Dentre os objetivos específicos, procurou-se: (a) desenvolver um estudo sobre inovação e interações institucionais; (b) elencar as principais políticas públicas de inovação no Brasil entre 2004 e 2014 e os instrumentos de apoio financeiro, técnico e gerencial à inovação vigentes; (c) descrever sobre a formação do Arranjo Produtivo Local calçadista -APL de Birigui; (d) elencar os organismos de apoio no setor calçadista (APL) e em outros setores produtivos de Birigui-SP; (e) analisar como os organismos de apoio e governança percebem a inovação, a atuação do Estado na questão de políticas públicas de inovação e a existência de interação entre o local e as institucionalidades federais. Adotou-se como hipótese a ideia de que a localidade, pelos seus organismos de apoio, não possui um vínculo consistente com as institucionalidades federais que promovem e apoiam a inovação, numa perspectiva sistêmica, pela falta de comunicação eficiente e eficaz entre o Estado e o local, de forma a efetivar as políticas de inovação na localidade. / Abstract: The thesis' main objective was to analyse how the location, through their support and governance organisms, defines innovation, its realization in productive sectors and the difficulties to promote it and glimpses and appropriates the State's innovation policies, from existing institutional interactions in the territory. Among the specific objectives, it sought: (a) to develop a study on innovation and institutional interactions; (b) to list the major public policy innovation in Brazil between 2004 and 2014and the existing financial, technical and managerial support instruments; (c) to describe about the formation of the footwear's local productive arrangement -Birigui's LPA; (d) to list the support organisms in the footwear sector (LPA), and other productive sectors from Birigui -SP; (e) to analyze how the support and governance organisms perceive innovation, the State's action in the public innovation policies matter and the existence of interaction between the local and federal institutionalities. It was adopted as hypothesis the idea that the location, through their support organisms, does not have a consistent relationship with the federal institutionalities that promote and support innovation, in a systemic perspective, because the lack of efficient and effective communication between the State and the local in order to actualize innovation policies in the locality. / Doutor
