Det är redan tufft som det är, att lyckas vara lönsam i en hårt konkurrensutsatt och stundom kritiserad bransch. En yrkesfiskare ska numera också vara välkomnande, flexibel, pedagogisk och miljömedveten. Det senare till följd av att flera periodvis även arbetar inom besöksnäringen, med allt med allt från att ordna fisketurer och driva restaurang till att ordna festivaler. En ny avhandling ser en y

Hur plasten är uppbyggd är lika viktigt som designen på plastprodukten för ökad återvinning. I en ny forskningsartikel från Lunds universitet presenteras strategier för hur man kan förbättra både funktionalitet och återvinningsbarhet genom smartare design av polymerer, det som all plast består av. Plast är ett samlingsnamn för en stor grupp material med olika egenskaper och användningsmöjligheter.

I somras publicerades en uppmärksammad forskningsstudie om hur trädplantering kan bidra till att rädda klimatet. Men många forskare har kritiserat trädplantering som en problematisk metod, som istället riskerar att ta fokus från att vi drastiskt måste minska utsläppen om vi ska klara klimatet. Hållbarhetsforskaren Wim Carton förklarar vad det finns för nackdelar med storskaliga trädplanteringar. Ä

I takt med att AI och maskininlärning tar allt större plats i samhället följer en rad etiska och normativa utmaningar. Det kan handla om att en aningslös hantering av bottar och automatiserade kommunikationssystem förstärker skevheter och orättvisor i samhället. Eller att bristen på transparens och förklarbarhet gör tilliten till teknologierna låg, även när de presterar bra. Därför behöver sådana
