The sharing economy is said to take advantage of under-utilised goods and services in our economy, contributing to more sustainable consumption. Yet, despite widespread claims in academia and the media, the sharing economy is not sustainable by default.

Corona och den följande nedstängingen av universitet över hela världen har betytt att vi alla behövt lära oss undervisa på distans i ett högt tempo. Pedagoger över hela världen har samlat erfarenheter och utvärderat hur det fungerat och talar ofta om samtiden som ”det nya normala” och avser då en situation där både lärare och studenter förväntar sig att undervisning tar tillvara kunskaper och färd

Last year, researchers in Lund, Sweden, launched a ground-breaking theory that Earth was formed by pebbles that were sucked together into a celestial body over millions of years. This explanatory model has now been further supported by a new study which shows that cosmic dust also played a crucial role in the creation of our planet. It has become known as the pebble accretion theory. The radical i
