Global Union Federations and Human Rights Due Diligence: Strategic Repertoires in a Shifting Legal Terrain

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the strategic engagement of global union federations (GUFs) with emerging human rights due diligence (HRDD) legislation as a mechanism of transnational labour governance. Drawing on a multimethod qualitative design—including legal and document analysis and interviews with union officials—the study identifies six ...

Differential equations with modified argument, via weakly Picard operators’ theory [PDF]

Carpathian Journal of Mathematics, 2013
In this paper we use Picard and weakly Picard operators technique, introduced by Ioan A. Rus, to study a class of differential equations with modified argument and a boundary value problem for this kind of equations. We obtain existence, uniqueness, comparison and data dependence results.

Krasnoselskii's theorem in generalized Banach spaces and application

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2012
The purpose of this paper is to extend Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem to the case of generalized Banach spaces for singlevalued and multivalued operators.

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...

Self‐Directed Teaching Strategies and Professional Learning in Technological Implementation: A Collaborative Autoethnography

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological integration into teaching offers significant pedagogical potential, yet it can also intensify the challenge of addressing systemic barriers to inclusion. This issue is especially important for teaching‐focused academics (TAs), who are increasingly leading classroom instruction and translating institutional digital priorities into

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

A Review of the Evolution of Research on the Size of Children's Drawings in Relation to Their Expressed Emotion About the Depicted Topic: 1988–2023

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review examines the relationship between the size of children's drawings and their expressed emotions about the depicted subjects, focusing on research conducted between 1988 and 2023. The studies are presented chronologically to demonstrate how researchers have progressively addressed methodological challenges identified in ...

Some new fixed point results for multi-valued weakly Picard operators

Filomat, 2019
In this paper, we present some extensions of Banach contraction principle for multi-valued maps. Corresponding convergence theorems for the Picard iteration associated to a class of multi-valued operators are obtained in the setting of modular metric spaces.

Unequal Solidarity: Club Rules and Crisis Support in the European Polity

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Is European solidarity during crises due to common or close identities? Or do Europeans punish rule‐breaking countries by showing them less solidarity? Research on the determinants of European solidarity increasingly focuses on ‘solidarity to’, how givers' attitudes are shaped by their perceptions of receiving member states.
