Denna uppsats utforskar Protokoll till Konvention nr 29 (P029) och rekommendation nr 203 om tvångsarbete (R203). Syftet med denna uppsats är att svara på följande frågor, vad skiljer Protokollet och Rekommendationen från ILO Konventionerna om tvångsarbete i skrift och omfång samt vilken inverkan kommer Protokollet och Rekommendationen att ha internationellt, nationellt i Sverige och nationellt i TThis master thesis examines the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (P029) and the Recommendation on supplementary measures for the effective suppression of forced labour (R203). The objective of this thesis is to answer the following questions: what differentiates the Protocol and the Recommendation from the Conventions 29 and 105 in text and scope? And; what impact will the Pr

This paper revisits the development of the canonical Swedish wage bargaining model, from the 1930s to the 1950s. The question at the core of the debate is: how did Sweden achieve “good” wage bargaining institutions -- good, in the sense of facilitating investment, employment, and controlled inflation? The conventional account focuses on the actions of employers and trade unions in export industry,

The synergistic relation between nutritional deficiency and infection may have negative effects on the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infection. Zinc can affect the resistance to infections by modulating cytokine release, and by acting as a cofactor of thymulin, which induces the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. To investigate the modulation of the immune response b

This paper presents a general criterion to classify a channel as micro-channel or macro-channel. Experimental results of saturated-flow boiling heat transfer in micro/mini-channels for both multi- and single-channel configurations were obtained from the literature. The collected database contains 4228 data points, covering a wide range of working fluids, operational conditions, and different micro

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a sensational topic largely because its exploitation to date has been primarily journalistic. Properly packaged it captures the attention of a sensitized lay public and peps up circulation. HGT provides technical challenges for academic scientists as well as market analysts. For fans of science fiction as well as for environmental pessimists, HGT is the stuff of d

We present a method for producing FrameNet-annotated text for non-English text. The method uses sentence-aligned corpora and transfers target words and frame elements using a word aligner. The system was tested on an English-Spanish parallel corpus. On the task of target word projection, the system had a precision of 69% and a recall of 59%. For sentences with non-empty targets, it had a precision

In this report, tensor decomposition methods of EEG signals have been evaluated for the purpose of transfer learning. The aim has been to address the person-to-person Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) calibration problem by transferring training data between sessions, which can shorten calibration times, extend the amount of training data, and enable using data from simulated environments in real wor

We have calculated the reorganization energy for the intramolecular electron transfer between the reduced type 1 copper site and the peroxy intermediate of the trinuclear cluster in the multicopper oxidase CueO. The calculations are performed at the combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) level, based on molecular dynamics simulations with tailored potentials for the two copper

With the technological advancements in electronics, thermal management is becoming a concern that considerably affects the performance of electronic parts and systems, and two-phase immersion cooling is attracting attention due to its preferable cooling capacity. In immersion cooling, heat is dissipated by boiling that occurs on hot surfaces immersed in coolants. Therefore, it is essential to inve
