Modern Slavery in Supply Chains: Accounting Perspectives, Evidence and Future Research

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to examine how accounting can contribute to addressing modern slavery in supply chains. To achieve this, a review of the existing literature at the intersection of accounting and modern slavery is essential. This article presents a review of accounting research on modern slavery in supply chains.

The Limits of Convergence in the Enlarged Europe: Change in Labour Conditions in a Shipbuilder's Sites in Norway and Romania

open access: yesBritish Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 2000s, questions were open on whether the EU eastern enlargement would contribute to upwards or downwards convergence in labour standards, or even to divergence. Over two decades later, it is possible not only to attempt an answer, but also to identify the industrial relations processes that mediate economic integration between widely ...

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Response Of A Bridge Crane During An Earthquake

open access: yes, 2016
During an earthquake, a bridge crane may be subjected to multiple impacts between crane wheels and rail. In order to model such phenomena, a time-history dynamic analysis with a multi-scale approach is performed. The high frequency aspect of the impacts between wheels and rails is taken into account by a Lagrange explicit event-capturing algorithm ...

USE OF SINUSOIDAL FUNCTION FOR MODELING OF RAISING AND BRAKING OF THE SHIP OF BRIDGE CRANE IN THE MODE OF GAUGE OF VIBRATIONS

open access: yesВестник СибАДИ, 2017
For a dynamical system of a plane pendulum with vibration damping, describing the oscillations of the load of a bridge crane on a flexible cable suspension in a separate vertical plane, it is proposed to use a sinusoidal function with an offset to ...
