2. 1. A Value Co-Creation Perspective on Customer-Based Brand Equity Modelling for Tourism Destinations : A case from Sweden

   Author : Tatiana Chekalina; Matthias Fuchs; Maria Lexhagen; William C. Gartner; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : Destination branding; customer-based brand equity; value co-creation; value-in-use; Åre; linear structural equation modelling;

   Abstract : Tourism destinations all over the world increasingly embrace marketing and branding practices traditionally utilized by businesses. However, the literature on customer-based brand equity modelling and measurement for tourism destinations lacks the conceptual understanding of the complex relationships between tourists and the destination brand.

4. 2. Modelling of fracture toughness using peridynamics : A Study of J-integral, essential work and homogenisation

   Author : Christer Stenström; Pär Jonsén; Kjell Eriksson; Ugo Galvanetto; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peridynamics; J-integral; Essential work of fracture; Nonlocal methods; Meshless; Meshfree; Fracture; Crack tip; Exact analytical; Center cracked tension; Double edge notched tensile; fracture toughness; Peridynamik; Brottmekanik; Sprickspets; Brottseghet; Spänningsintensitet; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Fracture toughness is one of the most important properties of a material. Being able toaccurately estimate the energy that goes into forming new crack surfaces is essential for the development of new materials, quality assurance, structural monitoring and failure analysis. READ MORE

5. 3. Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Corrugated Board

   Author : Ulf Nyman; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material technology; assumed natural strain shell; failure criterion; lifetime; reliability; moisture transport; sorption hysteresis; corrugated board; hygro-elasticity; Materiallära; materialteknik;

   Abstract : The storage of compressive loaded boxes in an environment with naturally varying humidity is a practical issue in corrugated board employment. Time dependent variables such as moisture content, strain fields, stress fields and material strength play important roles for the time to failure. READ MORE

6. 4. Optimizing Exposome-wide Assessments in Cardiometabolic Risk

   Author : Hugo Pomares-Millan; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lifestyle; Nutritional epidemiology; Cardiometabolic risk; Prediabetes; cardiovascular disease CVD ; Type 2 diabetes T2D ; Machine learning; causal inference; Mediation analysis; Mendelian randomization;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), two concomitant conditions that appear with growing concern. In our work, we aim to improve the identification of individuals at-risk of cardiometabolic disease through the characterization of complex environmental exposures (i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. On some Control Problems for Queues

   Author : Bengt Bengtsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Queues; Control problems;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three parts. In the first one, optimal policies are constructed for some singe-line queueing situations. The second part deals with finite-state Markovian decision processes, and in the third part the practical modelling of a more complex problem is discussed and exemplified. READ MORE
