Design management methods in private label brand development: case Stockmann, Cristelle & Co
No full textIn this thesis I conduct a brand research on Stockmann private label Cristelle & Co through consumer involvement. The theory behind this is design thinking where consumers are
integrated into the design process. The aim of this thesis was to find out how the chosen brand is perceived by the consumers now and whether it is consistent with the brand
strategy set by Stockmann. My main goal was to find out how the brand image could be improved and how design management could facilitate the designing process of a private label.
Data was collected through semi-structured interview conducted in Sinco-laboratory, which is situated in the premises of University of Lapland and through a questionnaire made in Webropol program. Therefore this thesis mixes both quantitative and qualitative methods. This data is then analyzed through content analysis, creating different themes, which I was then able to make use of when I finally designed the final collection and proposed a new brand image for Cristelle & Co.
When compared together the survey and the interview gave different answers of the current image of Cristelle & Co. Therefore the data proved through the analysis that the brand image of Cristelle & Co was not consistent with the original brand strategy and therefore needed to be changed. Another result was that Sinco-laboratory worked as a ground for conducting research also in the field of clothing design and that it offers further possibilities for clothing research

Transmit Array Spatial Encoding (TRASE) using broadband WURST pulses for RF spatial encoding in inhomogeneous B0 fields
No full textReal-time shimming with FID navigators
No full textPurpose: To implement a method for real-time field control using rapid FID navigator (FIDnav) measurements and evaluate the efficacy of the proposed approach for mitigating dynamic field perturbations and improving T-2*-weighted image quality.Methods: FIDnavs were embedded in a gradient echo sequence and a subject-specific linear calibration model was generated on the scanner to facilitate rapid shim updates in response to measured FIDnav signals. To confirm the accuracy of FID-navigated field updates, phantom and volunteer scans were performed with online updates of the scanner B-0 shim settings. To evaluate improvement inT(2)*-weighted image quality with real-time shimming, 10 volunteers were scanned at 3T while performing deep-breathing and nose-touching tasks designed to modulate the B-0 field. Quantitative image quality metrics were compared with and without FID-navigated field control. An additional volunteer was scanned at 7T to evaluate performance at ultra-high field.Results: Applying measured FIDnav shim updates successfully compensated for applied global and linear field offsets in phantoms and across all volunteers. FID-navigated real-time shimming led to a substantial reduction in field fluctuations and a consequent improvement in T-2*-weighted image quality in volunteers performing deep-breathing and nose-touching tasks, with 7.57% +/- 6.01% and 8.21% +/- 10.90% improvement in peak SNR and structural similarity, respectively.Conclusion: FIDnavs facilitate rapid measurement and application of field coefficients for slice-wise B-0 shimming. The proposed approach can successfully counteract spatiotemporal field perturbations and substantially improves T-2*-weighted image quality, which is important for a variety of clinical and research applications, particularly at ultra-high field.LTS
