Modern Slavery: State-Induced Forced Labour in Myanmar (Burma) and Reactions from the International Community

open access: yesMalaysian Journal of International Relations, 2013
While human rights conditions began sharply deteriorating in Myanmar with the inception of military rule in 1962, however, it was not until 1988 that the international community began seriously taking notice of these abuses.

Investigating the Effect of Inclination Angle and the Influence of Scan Parameters on the Appearance and Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Filigree Tension Rods of LPBF‐Manufactured NiTi Shape‐Memory Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates the dependence of the properties on the manufacturing orientation in the form of the inclination angle to the build plate of LPBF‐fabricated NiTi rods with a diameter of 150–220 µm. Metallographic, chemical, thermal, and mechanical characterization show behavior under identical manufacturing conditions that ranges from ...

Ruinele unui proiect modernist: cercetări arheologice în fosta colonie de muncă forţată din perioada comunistă de la Galeşu/Nazarcea, canalul Dunăre – Marea Neagră

open access: yesMateriale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2018
Galeşu (currently Nazarcea village, Poarta Albă commune, Constanţa County) is one of the forced labour camps established in the early 1950s during the construction works for the Danube – Black Sea Canal, probably the most ambitious project in the history

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Deportations in Western Ukraine: punishment for disloyalty (1939–1941)

open access: yesGenocidas ir Rezistencija, 2008
Forced migration was also used by the Bolshevik regime in the 1920s and 1930s as an instrument of repressive policy. The first victims of the deportations from Ukraine to distant parts of the country were the peasants who were deprived of their property.

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Labour exploitation of Bulgarian migrants in Europe: coping mechanisms

open access: yesPrzegląd Socjologiczny, 2018
Labour exploitation and its extreme forms, such as forced labour and trafficking of human beings, are not new phenomena. They are also present throughout Central and Eastern Europe and Bulgaria in particular. This article explores the mechanisms used by

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).
