1. Genetic and phenotypic discordance in cardiometabolic diseases
Sammanfattning : Cardiometabolic conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are among the first causes of death globally, and the number of people affected is rapidly increasing. Both conditions are intricately connected and are associated with many life-threatening cardiovascular disease (CVD). LÄS MER
2. Sharecom internationalisation : Exploring business models, business ecosystems, and pathways to international expansion
Sammanfattning : An ever-changing business landscape, rapid developments in digital technologies, and shifts in societal attitudes have paved the way for the sharing economy phenomenon. Over the past decade, sharing economy companies (sharecoms) have emerged in droves, shaking up industry structures globally with their innovative business models and novel valuecreating processes, which rely on the externalised resources.

3. Upholding the coral loop : Resilience, alternative stable states and feedbacks in coral reefs
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs are suffering unprecedented declines in coral cover and species diversity. These changes are often associated with substantial shifts in community structure to new dominant organisms. Ultimately, these “phase shifts” can be persistent and very difficult to return from.

4. Benthic cryptofauna and internal bioeroders on coral reefs
Sammanfattning : The cryptofauna of coral reefs may act as a food source for fish, while being grazers or predators themselves, and hence constitute an important group in the coral reef food web. In addition, the actively eroding taxa of the cryptofauna contribute to the decomposition and recirculation of calcium carbonate and are consequently essential for the rebuilding new coral. LÄS MER
5. Coral reefs in the Anthropocene : The effects of stress on coral metabolism and symbiont composition
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs constitute some of the most prolific and diverse ecosystems on our planet, but also among the most threatened. This thesis investigates the effects of environmental stressors on corals’ metabolism and symbiont diversity. LÄS MER
