Service branding: the development of a typology of service brands at the corporate level
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
This paper shows and discusses a typology of service brands at the corporate level. The typology emerges from a
combination of two constructs: ‘customer base’ and ‘competitive environments’. The service brands are conceptualized
as modes of maintenance, surveillance and dynamic changes, which are shown in a 2x2 matric. The service brand
typology is discussed, and the paper explains that dynamic ...
Present and future temporal profiles and their relationship to health intentions and behaviors: A test on a Norwegian general population sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-13)
We investigated the temporal profiles of a Norwegian general population sample and their relation to health behaviors and intentions. The profiles were based on variables from the present and future dimensions of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS), and the combination of both scales. The analysis revealed that there were only two ...
A framework for categorizing social media posts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-10)
Abstract: Brand posts are concise and recurrent updates created by brands and
sent out to their followers on social media. Brand posts play a crucial linking role by
connecting brands to their customers and fans on a daily basis. Brand posts represent
a rich form of communication that convey various brand meaning and experiences
using multiple media formats. Despite this, however, brand posts ...
Polygenic selection drives the evolution of convergent transcriptomic landscapes across continents within a Nearctic sister species complex
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-03)
In contrast to the plethora of studies focusing on the genomic basis of adaptive phenotypic divergence, the role of gene expression during speciation has been much less investigated and consequently less understood. Yet, the convergence of differential gene expression patterns between closely related species‐pairs might reflect the role of natural selection during the process of ecological speciation. ...
PARASITES FAUNA OF THE LAKE KRONOTSKOE CHARRS (SALVELINUS), KAMCHATKA
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The new data on the parasites fauna of the Lake Kronotskoe sympatric charr forms (genus
Salvelinus (Nilsson) Richardson, 1836) is presented. Parasites fauna of Bigmouth and
Smallmouth charr forms are described for the first time. The information about Longhead
charr, Nosed charr and White charr parasites is added. 29 species of parasites from 9 classes
were found: Oligohymenophorea, Myxosporåà, ...
What influences tourists' overall holiday experience? Tourism company products versus destination products
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-19)
There are as yet to our knowledge no systematic investigations comparing the effects of specific tourism company product and total destination product components on tourists’ experience. The current study addressed this particular issue, based upon a convenience sample of 867 tourists visiting Northern Norway in the summer of 2011. The study results indicated that the effect of the company product ...
Histopathological characterisation of retinal lesions associated to Diplostomum species (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) infection in polymorphic Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
The eye represents an immune privileged organ where parasites can escape host reactions. This study provides the first systematic evidence of the pathology associated with <i>Diplostomum</i> sp. infection in the eye retina of fish (i.e. Arctic charr). Histological sections showed that the trematodes caused mechanical disengagement between the retinal pigmentary epithelium and the neurosensory retina, ...
Vertical fluxes of nitrate in the seasonal nitracline of the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-31)
<p>This study compiles colocated oceanic observations of high-resolution vertical profiles of nitrate concentration and turbulent microstructure around the Svalbard shelf slope, covering both the permanently ice-free Fram Strait and the pack ice north of Svalbard. The authors present an overview over the seasonal evolution of the distribution of nitrate and its relation to upper ocean stratification. ...
The effect of co-creation experience on outcome variable
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-04)
This study examines the underlying dimensions of co-creation of an experience in the context of tourism and its effects on behavioral consequences such as tourists’ satisfaction with the co-creation of an experience, subjective well-being, and loyalty to the service provider. The purpose of the study is achieved by showing that that tourists’ co-creation of an experience positively affects the ...
Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-04)
Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems
to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems
are increasingly subjected to global warming, industrial development and globalization
which subsequently alter the local SES dynamics. Based on common-pool
resource theory, we developed a dynamic conceptual model explaining how exogenous
drivers ...
