Due to the globalization with free labour transfer, migrant workers are unavoidably the most targeted group for human trafficking business. Trafficking in persons is a global issue because of its engagement with the international organized crime. Apart from that, as the Protocol on Trafficking in Persons has been in force since 2003, States have turned their attention to the issue and many of them
Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is known as a robust agricultural drought index since it considers the water balance conditions in the soil. It has been widely used as a reference index for monitoring agricultural drought. In this study, the PDSI time series were calculated for nine synoptic stations to monitor agricultural drought in semi-arid region located at Zagros mountains of Iran. Auto
Demarketing is generally recognized as that aspect of marketing that aims at discouraging customers in general or a certain class of customers in particular on either a temporary or permanent basis and has been increasingly posited as a potential tool to degrow tourism and improve its overall sustainability, particularly as a result of so-called overtourism. The paper provides an overview of the v
Through changes in climate and other environmental factors, alpine tundra ecosystems are subject to increased cover of erect shrubs, reduced predictability of rodent dynamics and changes in wild and domesticated herbivore densities. To predict the dynamics of these ecosystems, we need to understand how these simultaneous changes affect alpine vegetation. In the long term, vegetation dynamics may d

Efter 2007 års lagändringar i anställningsskyddslagen anmäldes Sverige till EU-kommissionen. Anledningen var att lagens bestämmelser inte ansågs vara förenliga med direktiv 1999/70/EG om ramavtalet om visstidsarbete undertecknat av EFS, UNICE och CEEP. Enligt ramavtalet ska det finnas bestämmelser som förhindrar missbruk som uppstår av flera på varandra följande tidsbegränsade anställningar. EU-kAfter the 2007 legislative changes in the Swedish Employment Protection Act Sweden was reported to the European Commission. The reason was that its provisions were not considered compatible with Council Directive 1999/70/EC concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP. According to the framework agreement, there should be measures preventing abuse arising
Sjukhus har börjat värdera att spåra tillgångar så som medicinsk utrustning, och användningen av sådana tjänster ökar. Sony Corporation är det företag som ansvarar för Sony Groups elektronikprodukter och lösningar. Sony Corporation har utvecklat ett system, Visilion Care, för positionering och analys av utrustning i realtid för sjukvården, för att hjälpa personal och ledning att spara tid, öka pro
Vad, från ett klingande perspektiv, exakt är jazz och var går gränsen för när det slutar vara det? I syfte att närma mig svaren på dessa frågor formulerade jag en kvantitativ enkätundersökning som huvudsakligen jämför klingande exempel. Enkäten fokuserar på de musikaliska aspekterna harmonik, melodik, rytmik, improvisation och instrumentation. Exemplen har jag konstruerat på så sätt att de jämför What, from a sounding perspective, exactly is jazz, and where is the boarder to when it stops being that? With the purpose of answering these questions, I developed a quantitative survey that mainly compared sounding examples. The survey focuses on the music aspects harmony, melody, rhythm, improvisation and instrumentation. I constructed the examples as such that they compare one or a couple of t
Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att jämföra byggmetoderna stolpverk och regelverk ur aspekterna tid, kostnad, materialåtgång, byggnadsmetoder, kompetens och design. Frågorna man ställde var: Frågeställning: Hur skiljer sig ett hus byggt med stolpverks metoden kontra ett likvärdigt hus byggt med regelverks metoden? Vilka för- och nackdelar finns det med stolpverkshus jämfört med regelverkshus? MeAim: The purpose of the work is to compare construction methods of timber framing and stud framing from the aspects of time, cost, material consumption, construction methods, competence and design. The questions asked were: Research questions: How does a house built with the timber frame method differ from an equivalent house built with the stud framing method? What are the advantages and disad
Coal combustion greatly contributes to global emissions of toxic gases into the atmosphere, with sulfur emissions as one of the prominent pollutants in addition to carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, Botswana utilizes Morupule's sub-bituminous coal with average sulfur and ash contents, as determined in this study being 1.9 and 24.4 % by weight with an average calorific value of 22 MJ Kg−1 to generate el
In this article, we investigate public support for eco-social policies combining goals of social justice and ecological sustainability. Eco-social policies contribute both to providing a social floor or redistributing resources to where they are needed and to respecting an ecological ceiling by keeping human activities within ecological limits. We discuss five such policies and highlight arguments
Remote sensing observations of variables related to vegetation at microwave and optical/infrared wavelengths are presented over three regions in Europe in the Iberian peninsula, northern Finland and central Europe. They include the instrumented sites of Las Majadas, Sodankyla and Reusel. The final goal is to better constrain land carbon cycle models using the complementarities of vegetation optica
In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign in underground subway environments is introduced. The downlink signals in an in-service UMTS network are collected in the subway carriage by using an Universal Software-defined Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment and used to extract the channel impulse responses (CIRs) between a user equipment and UMTS stations. A high-resolution parame
The paper explores tourists’ smartphone-related information behavior on site in light of the concept of “planned serendipity”. The ability to gatherinformation at anytime and anywhere can deeply influence tourists’ behavior,their information needs and the outcomes of their travel plans. In this study, theconcept of planned serendipity is used to suggest that the outcome of travelinformation behavi
The objective of this paper is twofold. First, against the background of an existing empirical literature on the duration of trade which has found that international trade is often of strikingly short duration, we aim to establish whether or not EU imports from the rest of the world also are short-lived. Second, since there is at this point no clear commonly accepted theoretical explanation for th
Shopping has since long been recognized as a possible source of enjoyment. It has been argued that consumers of today devote ever more of their spare time to shopping. Within the domain of marketing, scholars have been successful in outlining consumers' motives for engaging in shopping as a leisure-time enjoyment. Minor attention has however been devoted to explorations of how or why such shopping
