Principen ”barnets bästa” ska alltid styra när rättvisan har att göra med barn, från vårdnadstvister till bestraffning av minderåriga. Men ny forskning från rättssociologen i Lund visar att den högtflygande moraliska ansatsen ofta landar platt. Barnkonventionen – svensk lag sedan 2020 – är tydlig: barn har rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem själva och ”barnets bästa” ska vara avgörande.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Arbetsmiljö. Vem är du – en separerare eller kanske en integrerare? Mobiler och bärbara datorer har skapat ett arbetsliv där det är möjligt att jobba när och var som helst.

Effekterna av ett varmare Arktis är inte enbart av negativ betydelse för klimatet, visar en ny avhandling från Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap. Genom modellering kunde man bland annat se att en förflyttning av trädgränsen uppåt kunde öka kollagret då träd binder mer kol i sin biomassa än tundraväxter. Men resultaten är osäkra. Arktis – området norr om polcirkeln – värms upp minst dubbelt så

Hållbarhetsforskaren och konstnären Emma Johansson har använt konst som forskningsmetod i nästan åtta år. För henne erbjuder konsten ett alternativ för att samla in och sammanställa kunskap och information. Det är också ett sätt att ge tillbaka till de grupper som har bidragit till forskningen, eftersom de kan använda tavlorna för att berätta om sin situation för andra. År 2015 var första gången h

Brasiliens högsta domstol har i ett historiskt beslut röstat ner jordbrukslobbyns försök att begränsa ursprungsbefolkningens markrättigheter. Hållbarhetsforskaren Torsten Krause är försiktigt optimistisk till beslutet, som han menar är positivt för både mänskliga rättigheter och biologisk mångfald, men befarar att det kan medföra att avskogning och gruvdrift ökar i Brasiliens grannländer. – Det är
