ModerninArvo project affects debate on fate of modern buildings
The main individual sector in creating a carbon-neutral Finland is renovation construction. The surge in demolition and replacement of young building stock and entire areas through carbon-intensive construction is problematic for sustainability. The ModerninArvo project aims at finding solutions to the continued shrinking of the life cycles of architecture, and the renovation and re-use of the architecture from recent decades. The project is being funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
Doctoral thesis: Technology that's better at detecting hate speech may also increase security risks
Advances in language technology don't only facilitate moderation but also censorship, says Tommi Gröndahl, who is defending his dissertation on language technology methods.
NDI Briefing Note: The urgent need for standardized assessment of microplastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean
The researchers suggest that the development of standard protocols for microplastic pollution analysis should be approached as a co-creation effort among research laboratories and other institutions. Citizens could also be engaged in the sampling and hot-spot identification.
This would decrease the costs of fieldwork and educate citizens of Arctic communities on environmental issues and the responsible use of plastics.
