The supervising organs of the International Labour Organization (ILO) have for decades criticized the Myanmar government for making use of forced labour. In 1996, during the 83rd session of the International Labour Conference, twenty-five worker delegates filed a complaint against Myanmar for violating its obligations under the Forced Labour Convention, and soon after the Governing Body of the ILO
The ICTY and the ICTR were established in the 1990s to determine individual accountability for mass atrocities. The tribunals have had a great impact on the development of international criminal law, yet their effects in the concerned societies have been disputed. As the courts are located outside the territory in which the crimes took place, and are composed of international lawyers and personnel
Syftet med Dublinförordningen är att se till att asylansökningar behandlas av endast en medlemsstat, för att undvika fenomenen “asylsum shopping” och “refugees in orbit”. Förordningen består av en hierarki av kriterier för att fastställa vilken stat som är ansvarig, men detta har också lett till principen om ömsesidigt förtroende mellan medlemsstaterna, där alla stater förutsätts ha samma nivå av The purpose of the Dublin Regulation is to ensure that applications for asylum will be considered by one Member State, avoiding the phenomena of “asylum shopping” and “refugees in orbit”. The Regulation consists of a hierarchy of criteria for determining the responsible state, however, this has also resulted in the principle of Mutual Trust between Member States, where all states are presumed to h
This thesis is a cultural analysis of Chinese students’ Internet habits and how these are affected when they move abroad, in this case to Sweden. Fieldwork has been conducted in Shanghai and Sweden. The aim is to understand the Internet in everyday life with an emphasis on the local experience. The questions guiding the research are: • How do students in Shanghai and Chinese students in Sweden u
Bridges are critical assets within transportation networks, and their failure, whether due to accidental actions, extreme environmental events, or localized damage, can lead to consequences that extend far beyond the structure itself. In addition to direct safety implications, bridge failures often result in prolonged traffic disruption, economic losses, and reduced network resilience. As traffic
PURPOSE: Our purpose for this study is to describe and analyze the problems and challenges linked to measuring performance in activities directly and indirectly related to organizational purpose. METHODOLOGY: To map the issues and challenges connected to measuring performance based on organizational purpose we have used 8 case studies divided in following categories; 2 sectors (for-profit and nonp
Background: For up to 50% of adolescents experiencing PTSD, the course of their illness is further complicated by co-occurring substance use. Despite this, evidence-based integrated treatment options for adolescents with this comorbidity remain sparse. To address this gap, we are conducting an RCT examining the efficacy of exposure-based therapy for co-occurring PTSD and substance use among adoles
Abstract—The paper reports new geochronological, petrological, and isotope-geochemical data on the syenites and alkali syenites of the Artyushki massif, and the monzonites of the Gusikha massif. These massifs are located along the southwestern and northeastern margins of the Pachelma aulacogen, in the southeastern part of the East European Platform (EEP). They have Early Cambrian ages of 524 ± 3 (
Photoreceptor cells in the pineal complex of poikilothermic vertebrates are regarded as homologous with the neuroendocrine pinealocytes in the mammalian pineal organ. They possess an indolamine metabolism, and they contain a number of substances that are immunochemically similar to phototransduction‐related proteins otherwise found in photoreceptors of the lateral eye retina. Using correlative lig
A green route for the production of 6-carbon polymer building blocks 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, adipic acid and ϵ-caprolactone from 1,6-hexanediol, a hydrogenation product of biobased 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is reported. Gluconobacter oxydans oxidized 1,6-hexanediol completely to adipic acid, and selectively at pH 6-7 to 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, which was converted to ϵ-caprolactone by catalytic cycli
The origin of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters (GCs) is one of the greatest mysteries of modern stellar astrophysics. N-body simulations suggest that the present-day dynamics of GC stars can constrain the events that occurred at high redshift and led to the formation of multiple populations. Here, we combine multiband photometry from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-bas
Background: New emerging evidence has demonstrated the need for effective interventions to help people living with an acquired brain injury (ABI). Evidence on cost-effectiveness, which can help inform use of limited resources, is scarce in this area and therefore the purpose of this systematic review is to critically appraise and consolidate the current evidence on economic evaluations of ABI reha
This book discusses in detail how Orthodox Christianity was involved in and influenced political transition in Ukraine, Serbia, and Georgia after the collapse of communism. Based on original research, including extensive interviews with clergy and parishioners as well as historical, legal, and policy analysis, the book argues that the nature of the involvement of churches in post-communist politic
The article is a comparative inquiry into the roles of Ilia Chavchavadze (1837-1907) and Taras Shevchenko (1818-1861) as national poets and anti-tsarist intellectuals within the context of their respective national traditions (in Georgia and Ukraine). During the period of their activity (19th and the beginning of 20th century), both Ukraine and Georgia were under tsarist imperial rule (albeit the
This chapter describes the musculoskeletal (MSK) context in children and young people as an important contributor to the global non-communicable disease burden. Through selected MSK conditions, we describe the impact on patients, families and communities and highlight the challenges that need to be addressed. We focus on opportunities for better working together and describe exemplar initiatives t
