  2. 1. Suspended Value : Using Coins as Pendants in Viking-Age Scandinavia (c. AD 800–1140)

    Author : Florent Audy; Nanouschka Myrberg Burström; Anders Andrén; Dagfinn Skre; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; coin-pendants; archaeology; numismatics; Viking-Age Scandinavia; material culture; economy; religion; craftsmanship; Birka; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Abstract : The use of coins as pendants is a common practice in the Scandinavian Viking Age (c. AD 800–1140). About three per cent of the coins circulating in Scandinavia show signs of having been adapted for suspension, either with a small hole or a loop. Modifying coins in this way changes the nature of the object. READ MORE

    Author : Lena Hohenschwert; Institutet för Ekonomisk forskning; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Value Creation; B2B Marketing; Sales Interactions; Symbolic Interactionism; Selling;

    Abstract : Salespeople’s work has always been regarded a crucial contributor to businesses’ value creation by researchers and practitioners alike. As tangible products are not at the core of interactions between salesperson and customer in the context of services-based or non-standardized markets, sales’ role is assigned greater influence in the understanding, creating and delivering of customer value.

  7. 5. Numerical and Symbolic Methods for Dynamic Optimization

    Author : Fredrik Magnusson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic optimization; differential-algebraic equations; Modelica; direct collocation; block-triangular ordering;

    Abstract : Mathematical optimization is becoming increasingly important for engineering in general and control in particular. This thesis deals with numerical methods, primarily direct collocation, and symbolic methods, primarily block-triangular ordering and tearing, for numerical solution of general dynamic optimization problems involving dynamical systems modeled by large-scale differential-algebraic equations (DAE).
