1. 1. Place-of-Origin Effects on Brand Equity : Explicating the evaluative pertinence of product categories and association strength

   Författare :Mikael Andéhn; Fredrik Nordin; Per-Olof Berg; Mats E. Nilsson; Leif E. Hem; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Country-of-origin; Association Strength; Product Category; Brand Equity; Place; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The country-of-origin effect - the alteration of judgment derived from an association to a place, is a much studied phenomenon with great potential implications for brand management and international marketing. However, in light of criticism towards the lack of conceptual development the extant literature, the relevance of the effect has been brought into question. LÄS MER

3. 2. Polyelectrolytes : Bottle-Brush Architectures and Association with Surfactants

   Författare :Ali Naderi; Per M. Claesson; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyelectrolyte; Surfactant; Bottle-Brush Polyelectrolyte; Comb Polyelectrolyte; Non-Equilibrium State; Polymer Architecture; Adsorption; Desorption; Association; Excluded Volume; Light Scattering; SFA; AFM; QCM-D; Turbidimeter; Mica; Silica; Surface Forces; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has the dual purpose of raising awareness of the importance of the mixing protocol on the end products of polyelectrolyte-oppositely charged surfactant systems, and to contribute to a better understanding of the properties of bottle-brush polyelectrolytes when adsorbed onto interfaces. In the first part of this thesis work, the effects of the mixing protocol and the mixing procedure on formed polyelectrolyte-oppositely charged surfactant aggregates were investigated. LÄS MER

4. 3. Inner strength among old people : a resource for experience of health, despite disease and adversities

   Författare :Kerstin Viglund; Gunilla Strandberg; Berit Lundman; Elisabeth Jonsén; Björn Nygren; Gunilla Borglin; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inner strength; old people; health; disease management; instrument development; mediating; structural equation modelling; qualitative content analysis; caring sciences in social sciences; omvårdnadsforskning med samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning;

   Sammanfattning : Background Inner strength has been described as an important phenomenon in association with disease management, health, and ageing. To increase the knowledge of the phenomenon of inner strength, a meta-theoretical analysis was performed which resulted in a model of Inner Strength where inner strength comprises four interrelated and interacting dimensions; connectedness, creativity, flexibility, and firmness.

5. 4. Association Phenomena Involving Hydrophobically Modified Polymers. Electrostatic and Hydrophobic Contributions

   Författare :Marina Tsianou; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; scaling; light scattering; rheology; aqueous solution behavior; phase behavior; cyclodextrin; surfactant; polyacrylate; cellulose ether; polyelectrolyte; hydrophobically modified polymer; Polymer; water soluble polymer; viscosity; association; segregation; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : The electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions in aqueous solutions of hydrophobically-modified water-soluble non-ionic or ionic polymers, their mixtures with a second polymer, nonionic or of opposite charge, and their mixtures with surfactants of opposite charge have been investigated. The relative strength of the electrostatic and hydrophobic contributions has been modulated by a variation of the polymer charge density and the solution pH, and by a variation in the degree and strength of the hydrophobic modifications, respectively.

7. 5. Upper extremity disability after stroke. Psychometric properties of outcome measures and perceived ability to perform daily hand activities

   Författare :Elisabeth Ekstrand; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Activities of Daily Living; Association; Dexterity; Muscle strength; Outcome Assessment; Rehabilitation; Reproducibility of results; Self-report; Somatosensory disorders; Stroke; Touch perception; Upper extremity; Activities of Daily Living; Association; Dexterity; Muscle strength; Outcome assessment; Rehabilitation; Reproducibility of results; Self-report; Somatosensory disorders; Stroke; Touch perception; Upper extremity;

   Sammanfattning : Disability of the upper extremity is common after stroke. To be able to evaluate recovery and effects of interventions there is a need for stable and precise outcome measures. In order to design and target efficient rehabilitation interventions it is important to know which factors that affect the ability to perform daily hand activities. LÄS MER
